Chapter 172: The Stone

The fire feather clearly identifies the latitude and latitude coordinates of the destination of the Devil Star, but the entrance to the tomb will not be so easy to find. After coming to the Devil Star, he suffered some pain. Most of the landing sites of Yishuihan are in asphalt swamps. The vicious sunlight evaporates the entire area like a furnace. It does not pose any threat in terms of climate alone. The key is that a terrifying creature grows in this area.

It was a strange black balloon, not large in size, moving in groups, often floating over the asphalt swamp. These things swam like ghosts against a "tail fin". Their main food is the huge hill-legged octopus.

Yi Shuihan was already careful about the danger, but he didn't expect that after entering, he was greeted by black balloons all over the sky. These black balloons can be separated from the main body and exploded automatically after attacking the target. The balloon was full of methane, and it would be fine if one was attacked. Millions of attacks almost exploded a mushroom cloud, and the water evaporated from a hundred meters around it, like purgatory.

It’s better to meet than to be famous. The experience of two days and the troublesome black balloon are really worth it, not to mention that the hill-legged octopus is also a tough character, and he is really qualified to be called the Devil Star.

It took a lot of effort to find a cave that was generally different. The mountain was not high. There was a layer of oily asphalt and black vines hanging on the surface. It was almost impossible to find its existence when it was far away. It was just like a reef in the asphalt ocean. The entrance of the cave was dark and extremely difficult to find, without a single moment of anger. The reason for the attention was that the black balloons dared not approach this place. It was strange to draw a huge area in the rampant land and not easily invaded.

Yi Shuihan has extremely strong sensitivities, but it cannot penetrate the hole, as if there is a magnet blocking all detections. This is not counting. A palpitations sounded like a group of dishonest bats. It also seemed like a "cuckoo" insects. It is difficult to judge what was going on before.

"Gulu." Yi Shuihan called softly. In an instant, a shadow covered the sunlight from behind, and the shadow was in the shape of a giant dragon.

Gulu's whole body is surrounded by colorful light, and the body is fifty meters long, and the phantom is even more difficult to measure. If it is big, it is big, it is small, and it is easy to stretch and contract.

After a while, Gulu's body condensed into ten meters, surrounding his master. He saw that it became more solid and mighty, and his body was slender and smooth, but it was indistinguishable from color, just like a light dragon.

With this guarantee, Yi Shuihan stepped into the cave and walked a few steps and found that the hole behind him was gone. Apart from the gurgle emitting light, it was extremely difficult for the naked eye to judge the direction, and the sensitivity could only detect ten meters of distance, but the hole could no longer be noticed, which made him frown. He was worried that there was something that caused the illusion.

Gulu also seemed to dislike the depression and darkness. He ignited the light on his body even more fiery, crackling and a layer of phantom with a shimmer of light expanded the visibility range around to fifty meters. Only then did he realize that behind him was an ancient star gate, which was unconsciously teleported to a different place and was no longer in the original cave.

Looking at the star gate, I didn't recognize any of the symbols on it. It was said that Grand Duke Xuanyuan shouldn't have such a perfect long-distance teleportation device back then. Even today's star gate would feel lengthened when it was teleporting, but I didn't notice the transfer location at all.

I took the museum bracelet to scan the font on the star gate and then realized that it was not a human creation, but was created by a galaxy civilization called "Floating Light" 20,000 years ago. The civilization seemed to have extraordinary attainments in the study of space, but then disappeared in history. All the objects of that civilization remained the same when they were discovered, and this mysterious civilization had disappeared. Because they had little contact with the outside world, they did not attract relative attention. At that time, humans were still in the age of cold weapons. Before entering the interstellar stage, they did not know where Xuanyuan got this thing later.

The "Floating Light" star gate is good. However, one of the lights is useless. With the shadow of Gulu, you can see everything within a hundred meters. There is nothing else except the large and thick star gate that is suddenly on the ground, and you don't know where to explore.

There was still a palpitational sound in the darkness, but no abnormality came from all directions. Yi Shuihan stood for a long time and finally chose the direction to move forward. The ground was covered with a thick layer of condensed hard asphalt, which was as smooth as a mirror. It was clanging and sounded on it. After the footsteps were heard, there was no echo, creating an inexplicable emptiness, as if the whole world was full of darkness, more empty than the universe, and at least no starlight could be seen here.

As we walked, the asphalt on the ground began to melt. Perhaps it was affected by the ground heat, bubbling, and splattered everywhere. The road ahead began to become muddy and lively. Moreover, the asphalt emitted a stench. You can also see the small beasts trapped in the ground. They should be devil star creatures that accidentally entered the star gate. They have accumulated thousands of years, some rotten, but some are lucky to be wrapped around the body by the asphalt droplets splashing everywhere, and still maintain the strange and painful expressions before death.

The natural climate of the Devil Star is relatively primitive, and there are some rumors. Judging from these creatures that mistakenly entered the Star Gate, the species of this star are relatively diverse. The area of ​​asphalt melted by geothermal heat is getting larger and larger. Although you can only see a range of 100 meters, after flying for a long time, you will notice that this is an underground asphalt lake, strange, mysterious, and full of challenges.

Hanging on the asphalt lake, he finally discovered that when there were fewer and fewer creatures around him, a group of people appeared, to be precise, a group of dead people. They should be early adventurers, with old armor covering layers of asphalt, and more than 20 people had a piece of foam metal under their feet, which should be a high-end adventure product a thousand years ago. These people must have accidentally discovered the Xingmen Cave here, and then came in collectively. Unfortunately, they encountered an accident.

These people were terrifying in death. Most of them grabbed their throats like shrimps curled up on the ground, as if they were vomiting something. Logically speaking, the armor had precision bacteria isolation devices and reinforced glass masks. The symptoms of these people were obviously infected with extremely severe bacteria, or were invaded by foreign objects. What exactly caused these people to die quickly in large numbers? Asphalt preserved some of the situation at that time and presented it to the eyes of later generations.

Some of the victims have become black skeletons and are scattered there. It can be seen that these people removed the antivirus devices and masks before they died. Some of them lost their skulls, and only one of them had a well-preserved neck bones, which indicated that they had been forced to break their necks by something.

In order to obtain more information, Yi Shuihan gently stepped onto the metal foam platform. After many years, the luster of the metal foam has been completely covered by a layer of asphalt. Only the center of the platform seems to have a few square meters of intact ground, and there is still a corpse lying alone. The armor on the man's body is intact and still shines with some luster, which shows its difference.

Carefully crossed the dead around and came to the center of the metal foam platform. The armor on the ground was wrapped with a young girl, who should be no more than twenty years old, with dark red hair, pale and frost on her face, holding her hands together and putting her chest as if praying for something. The expression was very wonderful, without the fear of death but with a hint of relief and hope. It seemed that she did not encounter an accident, but was automatically frozen using the internal functions of the armor. This was no different from suicide. The ice was in this strange world for a certain time limit, and even if there were later generations, she could not be saved, unless the cells were extracted to re-clone her, but it was a very boring thing. There was no meaning.

Yi Shuihan checked the girl's ice time. Unfortunately, the girl has been lying here for 1,500 years, and has greatly surpassed the limit. It is a miracle that the armor can maintain freezing. The cells in the girl's body should have been necrotic for a long time and their life energy has dried up.

Just as he was about to turn his head and walk away, he suddenly stopped responding to the fat man on his waist. Before leaving, Bai Xiaoqing prepared a luggage for Yi Shuihan, so he naturally would not forget to reserve the fat man's resting ground. Its unique green crystal pestle shape is easy to carry, and it is placed on his waist like a laser sword and will not attract others' attention.

The crack in the center of the crystal pestle opened instantly. A ray of light shot straight on the girl's hands. The fat man's figure showed a little, and he couldn't tell what it was, as if it was a black shadow.

Yi Shuihan was surprised to find that the girl was holding something tightly with her hands. Fatty suddenly separated her hands with her extraordinary strength before she could see clearly that it was a necklace.

Fatty was happy like a child who had a candy. Without saying a word, he wanted to pull the necklace in his hand into the crystal pestle.

"Wait." Yi Shuihan scolded, waved his hand and failed to eat the food. But he was taken away by his master.

The pendant of the necklace is only three centimeters long. It is not large in size and is in a golden cylindrical shape. It is carved with dense and fine patterns and is very delicate, without any other peculiarities.

While watching, the girl in the armored area under her feet was completely angry. The frost on the epidermis instantly turned into mist and covered it with the armor mask. It was vaguely visible that the pale skin was shriveled. The color of the entire armor became extremely dark, no different from the color of the surrounding ground.

Yi Shuihan felt a little sorry for disturbing the dead and was very sad about destroying the girl's appearance. Fatty guy really lacked discipline and wanted to swallow it when he sensed valuable substances. If the Blade of Destruction was not very fierce, this guy might have coveted the super-quality material of the artifact. I think the necklace in his hand is the main reason for maintaining the girl's body. Maybe she had not encountered any unexpected "talisman". When she sensed the metal pendant carefully, she felt a faint energy contained in it. In terms of the amount of energy, she might be equivalent to ordinary energy crystals.

I felt that this thing was a far cry from the real treasure, and I had come into contact with too many magical items and some sub-arts. I had already formed an intuition about the value of the item, and took out the museum bracelet and scanned it carefully, and soon I got the answer.

The necklace was produced in the Dadani period. At that time, the aristocratic class was more popular with the collection of special cosmic dust to make accessories. The more famous jewelry was a scientific research team who worked hard to obtain unintentionally from a wild star polar region. The energy stones were distributed in a large glacier rift. Originally, the scientific research team went deep into the rift to draw ice samples to study whether the wild star had major climate changes over the past billions of years. However, they never thought that some large particles of cosmic dust were found in the ice layer of the rift. A total of three kilograms of rift energy stones were collected. After returning, they found that this substance was very different from the known energy crystals and unknown substances. The energy wavelengths it had were of many benefits to the human body. They could concentrate their minds, regulate metabolism, increase immunity, and increase body strength.

This thing meets the appetite of many nobles. It was made into necklaces for sale at sky-high prices. The necklace in front of me should be one of them, based on the style and surface patterns. I found that the elixir energy stone was only three kilograms, and the drop in the bucket. Later, someone rushed to the wild star again but gained little. Unexpectedly, after a few years, the nobles wearing the necklace were cursed by a demon and died of body ulceration. The conclusion was that they were damaged by radiation. After research, they found that the elixir energy stone was not very stable. Although it had good energy storage, it would cause damage to strong radiation periodically. Since then, these energy stones have never appeared again, including the necklace in Yi Shuihan's hand.

The wild star of the wild star of the production of the energy stone happens to be the current devil star. The team in front of us came to the Devil Star for the sake of profit when the energy stone was almost at a sky-high price. What exactly prompted them to go deep into this place? How did the girl's appearance be preserved by the energy stone? It is unknown how this mysterious energy stone works.

In fact, this girl is the daughter of a famous noble explorer. The Devil Star means her father. One of the victims next to her is her father. In the face of danger, he left the hope of life to his daughter because he found that the energy stone necklace in his hand could avoid the attack from shadows. It was precisely because the energy of the necklace was amplified that there were mutual energy bands in the cave. He risked his life to detect. He never thought that there was no return. The area set up by Grand Duke Xuanyuan was full of dangers and could not be entered at will by ordinary people.

Yi Shui Hanjue's necklace was of no use to him, and the girl's appearance was also destroyed. Naturally, it was the culprit for the cheap one. Fatty happily swallowed it and became a little bit of light and threw it into the green crystal pestle.

This guy got the benefits but seemed to be still unsatisfied. He still did not retreat, and his body swayed like a shadow and "danced" towards the left side of the asphalt lake.

"What? What did you find?" Yi Shuihan asked with interest.

The shadow of the fat man shook violently, conveying his own meaning.

Yi Shuihan smiled. Although he could not feel anything existed in that direction, the fat man's "smell" was too sensitive and had exceeded the level that martial monks could achieve. Of course, this was mostly due to its appetite.

He hung the crystal pestle on his waist again and said to Fatty, "Let me guide the direction, let's hurry up now."

It is really a very happy thing to find the direction of exploration between the strange sounds of the asphalt boiling bubbles. Fatty Dun jumped to the value of the "guide dog". He took Yi Shuihan and tossed wildly for a while before he found the land where he coveted.

Gulu was wandering outside to illuminate a larger area. A small floating island appeared under his feet, and a stone tablet stood on the island. It clearly stated that the words left by Da Gong Xuanyuan were written: "The heirs of later generations, when you come here to prove that you have obtained the items left to you through the tomb in front, it must be good, right? Are there any swathes of the world? Maybe the times are changing, but the fighting nature of human beings will not change. Maybe there are many strong people in your era and you have not gained the upper hand, so the seven items excavated next will give you great success.

Help. On this star I leave some energy stones, you must get one hundred kilograms to continue the journey. Otherwise, the next six items will lose their effectiveness. Dear child. By the way, I have to feed those energy stones to a creature of this star. You have to hunt them and extract trace elements from their bodies to get enough quantity. There is a small piece under this tombstone, which is considered a first reward and a sample. Child, remember that the Morgans gave part of the Milky Way to humans not because they were unable to fight, but were full of conspiracy…”

The Grand Duke was obviously infiltrating some information to the latecomers, but he did not easily reveal the mystery. This dead ghost is really too mysterious. He could think of it.

Looking at the monument, I soon found a dark grid. Just as I was about to open it, the Guru Long roar was attacked. A shadow was too fast. Even Yi Shuihan couldn't see clearly what it was trying to climb the floating island a hundred meters away.

If you don't care about it, there should be no problem with Gulu. You took out a big stone with half a fist from the dark grid. This thing is neither gold nor jade. It is a bit heavy, cold and has a very delicate touch. It senses slightly that this thing is known to be a stone. The fat man was drooling so much that he wanted to pounce on it and pull it into the green crystal pestle. But he didn't know that Yi Shuihan was very regretful to feed it that necklace. If he had known that the grand duke wanted to collect the stone himself, he would not give it to it. One hundred kilograms was 100 kilograms. The piece in his hand weighed only five kilograms at most, which was still 95 kilograms.

Guru seemed to be angry, and five balls of air burst out. The sound was heard far away. The guy who came to Fudao to attack also revealed his prototype. It turned out to be a strange creature. It looked like an insect, more than two meters long, and his body was as soft as a pool of black liquid. It was also like a multi-nosed centipede, like paramecium under a microscope. The thousands of straws around his body were almost transparent. He slumped in the air and fought with Guru several times but could not get any benefits.

The dragon-shaped phantom spiraled up, and its sharp claws opened slightly, and it was a fierce attack on the attacker. The qi exploded into countless groups to surround the enemy, and it did not ask it to take advantage of its speed. Then hundreds of extra shimmers in the qi explosion were the killer weapon. When it was touched with the monster's body, it continued to corrode. In a few breaths, the paramecium collapsed to the ground and had no power to deal with it.

Yi Shuihan strode over, fire feathers swept forward, and the monster squeaked and screamed. The next moment, it had become a floating ashes. It seemed that this thing killed the team that came in. Grand Duke Xuanyuan was always able to make some life that could live for a long time and domineering life to guard the tomb. This place is just one-seventh of the tombs, and there is such a fierce thing. It is really not a place that ordinary people can get involved. Even ordinary martial arts monks can't bear its sudden attack. This creature was transformed and there was no stone stone. It should not be the stone fishing creature cultivated by Grand Duke.

At this moment, the ground on the floating island was trembling, and a light gate stood up. The light pierced the darkness around it. After a sway, Yi Shuihan was teleported to the foot of a mountain outside. This must be the space technology of the floating light clan. Humans in this era do not have such profound teleportation methods at a distance.
