I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 464 Water and Blade
"Do you see the marks on the shore? Those are not water stains, but blood, the blood of some creature. When it dries, it turns black, just like black spots on the soil. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it."

"Some creature was attacked there. The stream is not big, so there won't be any crocodiles or other creatures. There is only one possibility - the creature was attacked by the stream itself."

The stone in Zhou Chao's hand was thrown in a perfect arc and was about to fall into the stream.

At this moment, a huge mouth suddenly appeared in the water flow, rising into the sky, biting the stones in the air fiercely, and the hard stones turned into dust in an instant.

In an instant, the birds in the forest fled in panic, and the water flow stopped in the air, like a transparent giant python extending from the stream.

The python's head was a huge mouth full of fangs, which kept opening and closing as if it was savoring the stone it had just hit.

"I'll attract its attention, you pull out my sword and swing it at it." Zhou Chao commanded calmly, while picking up a stone from the ground and throwing it at the giant water python.

The giant python twitched and rushed towards the stone, crushing the flying stone again.

Zhou Chao seemed to be using stones to lure it away from the stream and onto the shore.

Li Luo slowly took the sword handed to him by Zhou Chao, hesitated for a moment, and then pulled out the sword.

It turned out that the stone shell was just a scabbard. The sword hidden inside was extremely sharp. Once it was unsheathed, it emitted a dazzling golden light.

"Stand still, aim at it, and swing your sword. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Although he was not very clear about the function of the sword, Li Luo did not hesitate. He raised the sword with both hands, aimed at the giant water python that had already stretched its head to the shore, and chopped it down with force.

At the moment the sword was swung, a terrifying golden torrent burst out from the blade and rushed towards the giant water python.

Before Li Luo could react, the golden torrent completely swallowed up the giant python.

But this was not the end yet. The terrifying sword energy suddenly surged, and the cylindrical shock wave even evaporated the stream completely. Then it rushed forward and completely engulfed a row of large trees behind the stream.

The tree didn't last long in the light before it turned into charcoal and disappeared into ashes.

The golden shock wave kept rushing forward and slowly dissipated in the distance, but the scene in front was already devastated.

Li Luo held the sword and looked at the scene in front of him in shock.

The forest was completely split into two by the sword energy, with a huge crack in the middle.

The stream no longer existed, only drifting white smoke remained.

A long road of ashes formed in front of Li Luo, and the scattered ashes kept rolling under the aftermath of the sword energy.

She turned her head in a daze and looked at Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao was also stunned, looking at the scene in front of him, without reacting at all.

"You...you put away your sword first and be careful."

His voice was trembling as he spoke, and it was obvious that he had not expected the sword energy to be so powerful.

Li Luo followed his advice, carefully put the long sword that was still emitting dazzling golden light into the stone scabbard, and handed it to Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao's hands were shaking as he took the sword. He stretched both hands forward and carefully took the stone sword.

"Whoo~"

Only after he completely took over the sword did he let out a long sigh of relief.

"What relic is this?" Li Luo asked in surprise, pointing at the sword.

"Holy Sword." Zhou Chao held the scabbard and said with lingering fear, "I gave it this name."

“It’s so powerful…”

"No." Zhou Chao shook his head: "It's not that its power is great, it's your problem." "My problem?" Li Luo was a little confused.

"Yes, the power of the holy sword is related to the person. The power will be different when used by different people. I have never seen such great power before." Zhou Chao explained.

"But what is its price?" Li Luo was a little worried. Such a powerful relic must have a terrible price.

"The price?" Zhou Chao was stunned: "Don't worry, I have already paid the price, you won't have to bear anything."

As he spoke, Zhou Chao picked up the sword and pulled hard, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull the scabbard out.

"See? I can't use it. The price of this holy sword is that once it recognizes its master, the master will not be able to use it. And now, I am its master..."

Zhou Chao walked to the side again, picked up a branch and started waving it.

But before he could swing it a few times, the branch inexplicably broke into several pieces.

"I cannot use any weapons other than the Holy Sword. I cannot use cold weapons or firearms. Anything that I identify as a 'weapon' will be automatically destroyed."

"That's the price."

"What a strange price! There is actually such a relic." Li Luo was a little surprised when listening to Zhou Chao's explanation.

"I can't help it. When I got it, it already regarded me as its owner, which caused me a lot of trouble."

"It was only later that I discovered that the Holy Sword could be given to others to use. Although I couldn't pull it out, others could easily pull it out, and it was quite powerful."

Zhou Chao spoke gloomily as he patted the stone scabbard helplessly.

The stone that was useless in his hand could be a sharp sword in the hands of others.

He paid the price, and others used the relics, so it was no wonder he was so depressed.

"However, since you have used the Holy Sword with such great power, the road ahead will be much easier. Next time you are in danger, I will give you the Holy Sword."

Zhou Chao was not depressed for long and he regained his spirits.

"Let's continue our journey." Zhou Chao pointed at the stream that was completely evaporated by the sword energy of the holy sword.

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded and walked forward.

……

In the cube, Mo Ling was still staring at the holy sword in Zhou Chao's hand.

After being put into the scabbard, the light on the holy sword was completely dimmed.

Through the thick stone scabbard, Mo Ling could still see the sharp blade inside, but now it no longer had the devastating momentum it had when the sword was drawn. It was just like an ordinary long sword.

"It seems that it glowed only after Li Luo grasped the hilt of the sword."

The sword energy of the holy sword has a destructive power that will completely decompose everything it touches. The activated water before was directly decomposed by the sword energy, without even a trace of residue left.

Not only that, even the activated soil underground was affected.

Although the sword energy did not spread underground, the activated soil under the crack seemed to have lost its activity and stopped moving, as if a dividing line had been abruptly drawn.

If those animated creatures possess "activity", then the holy sword is just the opposite, and seems to carry a breath of "death".

"Could it be that the captain has another reason for letting Zhou Chao, who holds the holy sword, stay on the sky island?"
