Chapter 141: Exploring the Buluo Civilization Ruins Again_2
Originally, they didn't have a concrete concept, but as soon as Bai Xiuqin mentioned it, everyone immediately became unsettled, 5 Golden Merit Points, that was equivalent to 500 Titanium Crystals, just the thought filled them with envy and jealousy.
Of course, it was merely a momentary sentiment, although no one knew what exactly Song Chi had done in the battle against the Blood Blade Star Thieves, they were clear that since his grandparents and the people of the Song Clan had acknowledged his contribution, Song Chi must have played a crucial role.
Amidst the crowd's discussions, the Furious Lion's warp device had cooled down, and the second warp jump quickly commenced.
With the end of this warp jump, they finally saw the sizable lake below. From above, it took the shape of a crescent moon, hence it was named Green Moon Lake.
Green Moon Lake was over a hundred thousand meters in length and just over fifty thousand meters at its widest; it was not considered large. Discover exclusive content at empire
But the lake water was clear, the shoreline was shaded with green trees, and more importantly, there was an island in the lake, less than ten thousand meters wide and over thirty thousand meters long. The environment was serene and refreshing at first sight. Choosing to settle here was indeed an excellent decision.
As for the Third Rank Origin Eruption Eye, it was located right above Lake Heart Island, which led Song Mingsong to officially designate it as their residence.
The area of Lake Heart Island was not vast, and as time went by, they would undoubtedly have to expand around the shores. Yet for now, it was certainly enough.
Following Song Mingsong's decision, the twenty warships of the construction department began to move. Giant movers, nearly ten meters tall, suddenly appeared on Lake Heart Island below, starting the bustling construction work.
...
The efficiency of the Soldier Figurines was incredibly astonishing; in just two days, a rather exquisite manor had been built on Lake Heart Island.
And this morning, Lake Heart Island had been named Green Moon Island, and the manor upon it, Green Moon Manor.
Green Moon Manor was officially established as their sect's residence.
In the courtyard on the south side of the manor, Song Chi stood under a peach tree, this courtyard belonging to him personally.
At that moment, his gaze steadied, as if he made some decision. A flash of Ghost Light at his brow, Cang Qiong was summoned forth, and then with a long cry, it shot towards the heavens.
Just yesterday, Song Shishi, Song Ting, and Song Bo, among others, had already been sent to the school constructed by the clan. Also, after such a delay, the elders, along with Song Qi, Song You, and others, had all resumed their cultivation of the Guidance Technique.
Now that everything had settled down and life was back on track, it was time to explore the Buluo Civilization Ruins, which he had longed for so fervently.
In the sky above the Dragon Spine Continent, amidst a violent spatial fluctuation, Cang Qiong suddenly disappeared, cast into an unknown Star Domain.
...
In the pitch-black starry sky, Song Chi's gaze swept across the side-mounted Sky Eye Spatial Radar, and seeing no presence of Floating Lands, asteroid belts, or other celestial bodies, he no longer hesitated, retrieving Cang Qiong and then swiftly vanishing himself.
Above the Yellow Sand Floating Continent, Cang Qiong shot downwards towards the massive ten-thousand-meter stone.
It had been almost a month and a half since his last visit, and the terrifying ten-thousand-meter storm eye was no longer in sight, whether its Might had exhausted or drifted to another region, Song Chi wasn't sure and wasn't interested either.
His target was clear, it was the Buluo Civilization Ruins.
As he descended, he glanced at the Blood Soul Stigma component and noticed the Third Rank Peak sandworm was still hidden a kilometer underneath the same dune as before, without any change in position, stirring some speculations in his mind.
It was highly probable that the sandworm had been severely injured by the Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light previously and had been hibernating the entire time, waiting for the day when its injuries would fully heal.
As for the possibility of it being dead, that was not the case. The Blood Soul Stigma could only mark lifeforms; if it had truly died, the mark would have deactivated immediately.
Having no intention of going there, that Third Rank sandworm was the target for Cang Qiong's upcoming promotion mission. There was no need to disturb it now.
As Cang Qiong descended quickly, Song Chi soon found himself beside the massive ten-thousand-meter stone again.
Compared to his first visit, Song Chi seemed much calmer this time; after all, compared to the Song Clan's Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, this ten-thousand-meter stone really wasn't much.
Humming sounds filled the air.
A large hornet drone burst out of the bay and charged straight toward the spatial veil ahead, under the brainwave control of Song Chi.
It wasn't long before Song Chi witnessed a horrific scene. In the first layer of space behind the spatial veil, countless severed limbs and arms were scattered everywhere. The green poisonous fog that filled the entire space had faded quite a bit compared to seven or eight months ago, but it still had not completely dissipated.
These were not the focal points, as in each of the four corners of this first layer of space, lay an insectoid creature reaching tens of meters in body length, its surface covered with hard carapaces.
"This thing...is it an ironclad beetle?"
Doubts filled Song Chi's mind for a moment, but he quickly came to a realization.
"Are these the final victors among the tens of thousands of ironclad beetles that were left? They devoured all the Zero Rank ironclad beetles and evolved into Second Rank ironclad beetles."
He vaguely remembered that when he left, there were still tens of thousands of Zero Rank ironclad beetles remaining in the first layer of space. To think that in just a few months, without the control of the Queen Insect, these beetles had staged a perfect "raising beetles" game in this first layer of space.
Over ten thousand Zero Rank ironclad beetles had ultimately nurtured these four Second Rank ironclad beetles.
For a time, he felt sentimental about the law of survival of the fittest among living beings.
Amidst his sighs, the engines of the Cang Qiong spaceship ignited. He moved toward the spatial veil without waiting any longer, convinced that there was nothing inside the ruins that could harm the Cang Qiong.
Yes
Boom boom boom boom!
Once inside the first layer of the ruins, the first thing he did was to exterminate all four of the Second Rank ironclad beetles.
As individuals that had survived among tens of thousands of their kind, they were certainly strong, but they were of little use to Song Chi. The only value they might hold was the Second Rank insectoid meat within them, the potential existence of energy crystals, and the four strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin.
Under the direct assault of the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon, unsurprisingly, the four Second Rank ironclad beetles were easily killed.
However, Song Chi did not rush to dissect their bodies but instead continued to steer the Cang Qiong toward the second layer.
Another spatial veil in the Second Layer space needed to be broken, and what awaited in the mysterious Third Layer was still unknown. To avoid running out of time later, Song Chi thought it best to clean up afterwards.
In the second layer of the ruins, since he and Shen Qing had already swept clean this layer of all insectoids last time, there were no Second Rank insects present. Song Chi quickly arrived below the spatial veil that was a kilometer in diameter.
Looking at the constantly emerging repulsion force fields on the spatial veil, Song Chi did not hesitate to press the fire button of the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon.
Boom!
In the howling of the sword light, violent ripples flashed across the space veil above. While it didn't shatter in one blow, it was considerably more powerful than the combined attack from Song Chi and Shen Qing from before.
Boom boom boom!
With each violent roar, the space veil above gradually dimmed, visibly on the brink of shattering.
Seeing this, Song Chi stopped the attack of the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon and switched to using the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon, a secondary weapon.
Having learned from the previous experience, Song Chi would not foolishly break through the spatial veil directly, as doing so might awaken any insectoids in the space above immediately. His plan was to use the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon to gradually erase the repulsion force field on the spatial veil, thereby avoiding alerting any potential insectoids in the upper space.
As time passed by second by second, the repulsion force field above had dimmed to its limit. At this point, Song Chi had stopped the continuous firing of the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon and started slow, single shots.
Half a minute later, crack!
Accompanied by a slight crackling sound, the repulsion force field on the spatial veil completely dissipated.
Without charging in directly, Song Chi continued to control the hornet drone, still operable from the brainwave beacon, to rush upward.
Pop!
Two seconds after the hornet drone entered the spatial veil above, Song Chi aboard the Cang Qiong's pupils suddenly widened with his eyes showing utter disbelief.
