Chapter 85 Transposition Castle
Walking into the lizardman's stone castle from the rain, I was dizzy by the fishy smell as soon as I entered the door.
"Ugh—is this the smell of humans? Why do these lizardmen have the word "human" in their names but don't do anything human?" Jiang Mo opened his eyes with difficulty in the ammonia gas, and sure enough, the ground was a mess.
Excrement, food remains, broken furniture and bedding were mixed in it, and it looked very dilapidated. It didn't look like a place where any living creature lived at all. It was extremely dirty.
"Master, treasure!" Luo Li also saw that Qin Zhiyu was good at archery, and the barrier in her heart disappeared immediately, and she leaned close to Qin Zhiyu affectionately.
Qin Zhiyu also knew that Luo Li was not close to her before, and even Locke only showed respect to her, but it didn't matter. She would not take these little things to heart, nor would she make things difficult for them because of them.
After all, they are all "family", and they and the Locke sisters are acquainted with each other through fighting. If the other party does not harbor resentment for becoming slaves, she will not disregard their lives and dignity.
"Lori, what treasure did you find?" Qin Zhiyu asked.
"The stone fortress is a treasure." Locke looked at Qin Zhiyu and continued seriously.
"How is the treasure hidden?" Qin Zhiyu raised her eyebrows. She understood that there was a treasure in the stone fort, but she was puzzled by the fact that the stone fort was the treasure.
"The 'origin' of the stone fortress is not there, it has not been lost. It is the best treasure." Locke spoke much more fluently.
"'Zuyuan'? What is this?" Qin Zhiyu was confused when he heard this.
"I'll take you there. Find it." Locke and Lori took the lead, bypassing the filth and finding the stairs to the second floor of the stone castle.
"You guys go, I'll be on guard downstairs." Jiang Mo greeted Qin Zhiyu. She didn't even want to look at him any more. It would be good to get some fresh air outside. She felt suffocated inside.
"Okay." Qin Zhiyu followed them up to check the situation.
'Zuyuan' is located on the second floor. After entering the second floor, it is not as dirty as the first floor. There are several large chairs here, which seem to be used for daily rest by lizardmen, and the lizardmen who can use them should be of a high level.
In the middle stood a round object. On the top of the three-tiered platform stood a grayish-white energy crystal floating in the air.
The energy crystal seemed quite active, floating lightly in the open air, gently jumping, but not jumping out of the control range of the three-tiered platform.
Seeing that she had found the treasure she sensed, Locke said, "Master, this is the 'Origin' and the altar."
"Does every race have an 'ancestor'?"
"Yes, we also had an 'ancestor' before."
Qin Zhiyu didn't ask any further questions. There was no rush to find out about this kind of thing in a short time. She was distracted by this matter.
She remembered that she had seen traces of alien races in the underwater snake-man race and the sun-seeking space, but why had she never seen the "origin" in that place?
Qin Zhiyu felt that this was very important. Understanding this would elevate his overall understanding of the "alien race" to a higher level. "How would the 'ancestral source' disappear?"
"If the alien race fully activates and uses the altar, their 'ancestral source' will disappear. Our tribe has used the altar, so our 'ancestral source' has disappeared."
"My tribe used the 'origin' to send two of our talented descendants out, but they were wiped out by other powerful races."
Locke's speech was not fluent at the beginning, but it became smoother and smoother as he spoke. Now he can speak human language clearly without any hesitation.
She no longer wanted to touch upon the sad stories of Locke and the others. She made a note of the fact that this powerful race could destroy them, and changed the subject.
"How do I obtain this 'ancestral source'? How do I take it away?" Qin Zhiyu looked at the two aliens. "Is there any good way?"
"No, no member of the tribe has ever moved the 'origin'." Locke shook his head.
If not, then she would start the system investigation. Qin Zhiyu stepped forward and was about to choose a suitable location.
['Ancestor' detected]
Is mining taking place?
Of course, the answer is “yes”.
【yes】
[Mining success]
[You have two choices. One is to take away the 'Origin'. Its existence is to obtain the ancestral power of the lizardman race and use it for the shelter.]
[The second option is to "transfer the stone fort" to make the stone fort a permanent second shelter. Note: the transferred shelter cannot be upgraded.]
These two choices made Qin Zhiyu's eyes light up. In fact, no matter which choice she made, it would be a big profit for her this time.
Of course, she had to consider both options, and the first option was already perfect.
Let’s look at the second option. The shortcoming of her current shelter is that it lacks its own defense capabilities and protection. If it can obtain shelter, then this shelter will naturally be more powerful.
If her current shelter is already well-defended, then she doesn't need further protection, and the best option is to have another shelter.
It would also be a good choice as another branch shelter for herself, but she didn't have enough manpower, and she couldn't take care of two shelters at the same time, so the best choice was the first one.
【Confirm to select the first one】
【Choose Success】
[Zuyuan is recovered to the shelter, please choose to place it in the appropriate location]
After the ancestral source was recovered, the castle beneath his feet seemed to have been drained of its life in an instant, losing the original luster of the stone and withering visibly to the naked eye.
Locke and Lori, who were standing nearby, had disappointment in their eyes. This was the last scene they saw before they were expelled from their tribe.
"Let's go back." Qin Zhiyu silently pulled Locke and Loli out. Words were pale, but she would use her actions to give them a sense of security later.
Although the stone fort has lost its luster, it is still habitable. Remember this location, it may come in handy in the future or become the home of another group of residents.
On the way back, Qin Zhiyu took out two electric bikes, and she and Jiang Mo each took one.
Later, Locke and his friends can add another course to their studies, learning to ride bicycles and electric bikes.
After returning to the shelter, I took out the ancestral sources I had collected earlier and showed them to the guys in the shelter.
It is still unknown what this ancestral source is used for. She will only know after placing it.
【Confirm to place in this shelter】
The clear and vital luster of the original stone fortress appeared on the stone walls of the Dawn Shelter.
[The Dawn Sanctuary gains the protection power of the Lizardmen's "Origin," activating the "Solid as a Rock" effect.]
