Chapter 331: Mythological Archaeology (3)
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The beast bone was like a continent. From the perspective of biology, Feng Lin could instantly tell that this was the tibia of a leopard or tiger-type lifeform. Its head and body had vanished long ago, and no one knew where the parts were.
Just a bone like this was already so large. What size was its original form?
Was it a monster as large as a star system?
My G.o.d!
Although this wasn’t the first time they saw it, Sutt and the others also couldn’t mask their shock. What made them feel strange was that this time was different from the past.
Through Feng Lin’s guidance, they knew that this place was a battlefield for shamans and demons. After using the deduction restoration technique of the A.I., they already knew a part of the truth.
What made them feel strange was that this ruin of darkness was a fragment of the ancient mythological continent. But on the battlefield of shamans and demons, they didn’t discover any giant demons or shamans.
Where did this mysterious giant bone come from?
“Everyone, wear your micro-mecha armor and prepare to disembark,” Sutt spoke. The robots brought over tailor-made micro-mechas for the people here.
The micro-mechas had an oxygen circulation system. As long as there was enough energy, it could provide endless amounts of oxygen for the cultivators. This was peak-tier equipment for cultivators to traverse s.p.a.ce.
In a large cavity on the beast bone, the flying shuttle transformed into a beam of silver light and shot into it like small fish that was not conspicuous at all.
Feng Lin stood with Zhao Yue`e and the others at the door, preparing to land.
They spent roughly half an hour traveling through the s.p.a.ce inside the bone before finally stopping.
“The shuttle door will be opening, everyone please prepare to disembark,” the A.I. reminded.
“Follow me!” Zhao Yue`e spoke in a low voice and took the initiative to rush out. The micro-mecha shot out strong bursts of airflow, causing her to resemble a fired arrow.
Iron Pillar followed closely behind her.
Feng Lin drew in a deep breath and followed after them as well.
At the back, Sutt and the rest brought up the rear.
In the darkness of s.p.a.ce, the five teams of people were like insignificant specks of dust
The flying shuttle parked itself against a bone wall. It was unknown how much distance they had traversed since they saw the bone. The amount of distance was so vast that one couldn’t see the end of it with a single glance.
Zhao Yue`e led the way, and they soon arrived at the corner of the wall. A bone splinter with oracle-styled inscriptions could be seen here. If this wasn’t the alchemy recipe for the Dustfall Immortal Pill, what was it?
“Previously, this is the location where we obtained the recipe from,” said Zhao Yue`e.
Feng Lin nodded. He moved nearer and sent out his spirit force to study the inscriptions.
This bone splinter might be as big as a large pillar, but its base was normal bone. Other than the inscriptions, there was nothing mystical about it.
The only difference was that despite the pa.s.sage of time, this bone still shone like jade and hadn’t fossilized. But that seemed to be the only special thing.
Feng Lin shook his head, not feeling satisfied at all.
(This is the so-called mythological secret realm?)
(Why does it feel so…average?)
He released his spirit force, sufficient enough to envelop the distance of a hundred kilometers. All tiny microscopic objects appeared in his perception.
What a strong spirit force!
Although it was hard to awaken mental/spirit type genes, the students of the Great Wall University were elites. There were still quite a number of them who had done so.
His cultivation base might be weak, but all his other abilities seemed to be extremely strong!
However, only Zhao Yue`e’s eyes were filled with wonder. Sutt and the others exchanged secretive looks; no one knew what they were thinking about.
But they didn’t know that Feng Lin’s spirit force had already been trained to an extremely precise level where nothing, no matter how minute, could escape his perception.
The human heart was treacherous. He naturally had to be on his guard against that.
Feng Lin was filled with vigilance.
Roughly about ten minutes later, his heart stirred. He seemed to have made some discoveries. The micro mechas rapidly flew in a certain direction under his control and they came to a place fifty kilometers away.
A bone wall with the l.u.s.ter of jade appeared before his eyes.
Feng Lin punched out only to see the white light radiating from the bone wall flas.h.i.+ng, but there was no other effect.
Sky Flipping Hammer Imprint!
His stance changed. His fists were like sky flipping hammers, cras.h.i.+ng down like mountains wanting to destroy the heavens and earth.
Yet, the bone wall merely trembled a little. It suffered no damage at all.
What a tough bone!
Feng Lin furrowed his brows. Right now, his vitality stats had already reached above 1,200. His punches were extremely ferocious; a casual punch would have the force of several hundreds of kilograms in terms of weight, sufficient to allow him to destroy mountains. Yet, how was he unable to do anything to a piece of bone that was left to rot for such a long time?
“Feng Lin, what did you discover?” At this moment, Zhao Yue`e and the others caught up to him.
Feng Lin didn’t conceal anything. If his cultivation base was insufficient, he had to borrow the strength of everyone.
He pointed to below his feet as he spoke, “Earlier when I sent out my spirit force, I discovered spiritual fluctuations somewhere below or within this bone wall. I believe the spirit particles may be the remnant spiritual aura from ancient objects.”
“Oh?” Zhao Yue`e and the others instantly grew excited when they heard this.
Ancient spiritual objects were extraordinary, and they had remnants of mythological might left in them. Powerful ones were known as mythological treasures, and once they appeared, conflicts would certainly form as everyone would fight each other to seize them.
They didn’t discover anything despite having searched for such a long time, but Feng Lin merely came here once and already found something the moment he scanned with his spirit force.
Was it true or false?
It seemed that Feng Lin could tell what they were thinking. He slowly shook his head. “The fluctuations seem extremely weak, flas.h.i.+ng on and off. It doesn’t seem to be from a mythological treasure.”
In truth, even if the thing he sensed was really a treasure, it would be impossible for him to reveal it like this.
Greed for treasures would surely stir the hearts of men!
If there really was a treasure, it was unknown whether these people would start to have malicious thoughts or not.
This…
When they heard his words, Sutt and the others hesitated.
“No matter if it is a treasure or not, it is worth a try!” Zhao Yue`e exuded an air of heroism as she decisively took the initiative to act.
True Martial Great Force!
She clenched her fists and blasted out with them. An overwhelming might capable of subduing all devils bore down, shaking the area here as starlight twisted.
Her punch force actually turned into something corporeal, filled the vacuum up with it. The intense pressure forced Feng Lin and the others to retreat several steps back.
Even Sutt who was at the elite adept level had to retreat.
Zhao Yue`e was the top-ranker of the Moon-level Heaven’s Chosen Rankings and was walking on a paragon mythology path, obtaining the inheritance of the Zhenwu Emperor. She had the capabilities to jump levels and fight stronger opponents.
Clearly, Sutt and the others weren’t her matches in a one-on-one.
BOOM!
The punch landed, actually causing cracks to appear. However, that was merely it; it was still a long way from being destroyed.
The toughness of this bone was truly exceptional!
The experts here couldn’t help but draw in a cold breath.
“Let’s act together!” Zhao Yue`e called out, encouraging everyone to attack together.
Three elite adepts and eleven adepts all acted together. Thunder, lightning, fire—all sorts of energy fused and blasted out explosively.
The part of the bone that had cracked from Zhao Yue`e earlier attack finally shattered, revealing a hole that was like a tunnel of darkness.
Hu!
A powerful wave of spiritual qi gushed forth from within, so strong that it had the force of gale winds that instantly blew Feng Lin and the others away.
