Next second.
The familiar feeling of weightlessness came again.
Qiao Bai: “?!!”
Is it possible? Put a teleporter at the intersection?!
Is this something that was driven out by humans?
After the world spun around, Qiao Bai regained his feet on the ground.
This time, without opening his eyes, Qiao Bai could feel the brightly lit scene in front of him.
He opened his eyes... As expected, Qiao Bai did not see any living supernatural creatures.
But when you listen carefully again, you will find that the "thumping thumping" of your heartbeat is louder.
Qiao Bai: OK, generally speaking the path he chose is right.
It's just that on the road to the truth, we always get lost or encounter roadblocks.
normal.
This is really normal.
Another room.
The lights are on.
Before looking at the source of the light, Qiao Bai's eyes subconsciously swept around the room.
At first glance, Qiao Bai estimated that it was more than 200 square meters, filled with tall bookshelves.
Apparently, this is a library (?) or a family reading room (?)
That's roughly what it means.
Qiao Bai picked up a book that was closest to him and wanted to flip through it to see if there was anything useful recorded on it.
However.
With just a light touch, the book he touched began to fall apart before Qiao Bai could pick it up. If he moved a little harder, the books next to it, which were made of unknown materials and did not look like ordinary paper, bamboo or wooden slips, all began to shake.
Qiao Bai: “…”
"call out"
Qiao Bai quickly withdrew his hand like a retractable spring.
Rubbing off the dust on his fingers, Qiao Bai pretended nothing had happened.
It's easy to tell that the destruction of these extremely precious books and documents has nothing to do with him.
"...What a pity." Qiao Bai murmured softly.
They were afraid that if the noise was louder, the books that had been preserved in the library for nearly two thousand years would be shattered.
But considering the current state of these books... let alone reading them, Qiao Bai reasonably suspected that as soon as this ancient tomb was opened, the books inside would immediately turn into foam like the little mermaid when the sun rose the moment they came into contact with the air from the outside world.
Qiao Bai shook his head.
Go around the tall bookshelves.
Unable to read the book, Qiao Bai's mind once again shifted to the source of the light.
Two thousand years.
The lights in the library are always on. What energy is used? What principle does it rely on? Qiao Bai is not a mad scientist. He is just simply curious.
After looking around, Qiao Bai found a ladder to climb on a bookshelf that didn't look very sturdy.
Think about it.
Qiao Bai put the cat and bug down alone.
After hesitating for two seconds, he turned around and pulled the little white snake down.
Only the little crow and the little jellyfish that can fly and float on their own can continue to stay with Qiao Bai.
The main purpose is to reduce the weight of the body.
Cat and Bug: Angry.jpg "Chichi!"
"Ouch!"
Not heavy!
Dragons are not heavy at all! You can leave my little brother behind, but you must bring this dragon with you!
Qiao Bai gave Maomao Chong a look.
"Some words hurt feelings, so we just need to know what we are talking about."
Cat and bug: ╭(╯^╰)╮
So sad.
So sad.
Temporarily break off relations with the Beastmaster for three minutes.
Qiao Bai calmly rubbed the heads of the catworm and the little white snake, then turned around and grabbed the ladder to climb higher.
Unlike books that crumbled into pieces when touched, Qiao Bai found the problem with this ladder as soon as he stepped on it. Hmm? The quality seemed to be much better than he had imagined.
Very strong.
Qiao Bai even felt like he was stepping on a steel plate.
Bang Bang Hard.
One step, two steps, three steps... every step was taken very steadily, and Qiao Bai raised his hand and finally touched the ceiling at the top.
I poked here and there, but most of the places were very solid and couldn't be poked at all.
It wasn't until Qiao Bai touched a special piece of ceiling that was slightly loose that he knew he had found the right place.
Use force.
One.
It's open.
Before the ceiling fell, Qiao Bai touched it with both hands.
Looking at the corner of the complex mechanical structure exposed behind the ceiling, Qiao Bai's face showed a bit of surprise, but there was also a sense of rationality in his surprise.
Reasonable.
Very reasonable.
Shouldn't he have thought of this as soon as he saw the all-gear mechanical device?
However, unlike the unknown and useless mechanical devices that have become completely obsolete and rusty and cannot be used, the mechanical structure of the lighting system is more complex and has energy supply.
When Qiao Bai lifted the lid on the ceiling, he could see that the gears inside were still turning slowly, making a "clicking" sound.
It's very obvious if you listen closely.
But Qiao Bai just discovered it.
"Ah..." Qiao Bai showed a look of realization.
It was the sound of a heartbeat, which overwhelmed his sensitivity to other sounds, but fortunately it was not a big problem.
Take a look at the ceiling you have removed in your hands.
I can't pretend anymore, so let it be.
Anyway, it does not affect the lighting system without main light in the whole room.
So Qiao Bai walked down the ladder with a piece of removed ceiling.
Before Qiao Bai could stand firm, the cat-worm rushed towards him like a small cannonball.
Qiao Bai stepped back.
If the two horns on the catworm's head were hit... it would be terrible. Qiao Bai felt that he would never be able to explore the ancient tomb again.
He swiftly turned around and dodged an angry attack from the cat bug.
The cat and cat bug found that he had missed the target: "?"
Rage up!
Without waiting for the cat and cat worm to regroup and start over, Qiao Bai quickly bent down and picked up the cat and cat worm. He stroked the cat and cat worm's back along the direction of the scales with his palm, smoothing out all the scales that had exploded due to anger.
"Don't be angry, I didn't mean it, it's not good enough for you to forgive me."
Qiao Bai blinked and said sincerely.
The cat and bug who can never be sincerely angry: "..."
╭(╯^╰)╮
Maomao Chong turned his head away angrily, not even looking at Qiao Bai.
Xiao Wu landed on Qiao Bai's shoulder and lowered his head to give Maomao Chong a contemptuous look.
angry?
If you have the ability, then don't lie so obediently and quietly in the arms of the Beastmaster!
Give up your seat!
Cat and Bug: No!
If it weren't for the remaining power of the big sister, if it was replaced by a little white snake or a little jellyfish, the cat and cat bug would stick out its tongue.
Xiao Wu: Haha.
Dare to do this to a bird? Beat him to death!
Qiao Bai held the cat and cat's head with one hand and picked up the little white snake with the other, invisibly defusing a family war that was about to break out.
"There's nothing valuable here. Let's take a picture and move on."
Go out.
very good.
maze.
See the maze again.
Qiao Bai continued to choose a path in the direction closest to the heartbeat he heard.
Then……
As expected, Qiao Bai was still teleported to a place that was completely irrelevant.
There was not a single coffin in sight.
I encountered two rooms filled with abandoned machines and unreadable books, and now I came to a place that looked like a battlefield.
Why do I say that... Because Qiao Bai could barely recognize the images of the black crow and the hurricane eagle from the paintings on the wall.
Qiao Bai touched his chin.
"coincide?"
Otherwise, why are the images of the two extraordinary creatures both birds?
And he didn't know if it was Qiao Bai's illusion, but he always felt that the black crow was more handsome and lifelike than the hurricane eagle.
certainly.
After two thousand years, the murals have become blurry and mottled, and there are also differences in painting styles over the past two thousand years... Qiao Bai, who is not a professional painter, just has a subtle feeling, and even he himself is not sure whether this should be classified as intuition.
Qiao Bai: Never mind, it's not a big deal.
Now the bigger problem is...
He couldn't find the source of his heartbeat! When he arrived at the library, he felt very close to his heartbeat.
Arriving at the battle hall, Qiao Bai still felt that he was very close to the sound of his heartbeat.
How close? Sorry.
have no idea.
It was the sound of "bang bang bang - bang bang" that kept beating on Qiao Bai's eardrums. Except for the communication between him and the few pets around him, Qiao Bai's reaction to the sounds from the outside world was a little slow and not that sensitive.
Qiao Bai thought for a few seconds.
He took out the item [Lucky Four-Leaf Clover] from his pocket.
As the saying goes – if you don't have luck, make up for it with props!
He directly chose to spend money!
Krypton gold is the coolest! As expected.
When he arrived at the door again, there were still a row of forks in the road outside for Qiao Bai to choose from.
Qiao Bai: Smile.jpg What to choose? He doesn't choose!
Just give the right of choice to the tool!
The lucky item will definitely help him choose the most correct path! The next second.
A complete purple item, the [Lucky Four-Leaf Clover] badge, which theoretically should be able to be used four times, with all four leaves lit up.
"brush"
The world was spinning.
Time passes.
Qiao Bai stood in front of a huge, dark door.
After a long while, Qiao Bai managed to stand firmly by holding on to the wall, but his head still felt dizzy.
Little Crow, Catworm, Little White Snake and Little Jellyfish all gathered around Qiao Bai worriedly.
The little bird raised its wings and gently rubbed Qiao Bai with the soft red feathers under its wings, emitting a faint warm temperature, which made Qiao Bai quickly come back to his senses.
The catworm, the little white snake and the little jellyfish stayed obediently beside Qiao Bai, watching Xiao Wu's movements, and then learning from Xiao Wu and imitating Xiao Wu... In terms of body temperature, they could not surpass Xiao Wu for the time being.
Listening to the heartbeat like a drum in his ears, Qiao Bai suddenly thought a little distractedly - this is quite interesting.
There are four pets at home.
Except for the little blackbird, which can barely be considered a warm-blooded animal, the rest seem to be cold-blooded animals?
Not only is it icy cold, but the feel of it to the touch is also something that most people cannot accept.
Qiao Bai laughed.
He let out a long breath from his chest, and the violently vibrating eardrums were not as painful as at the beginning.
Standing up straight, Qiao Bai looked at the huge iron door in front of him.
He was already able to confirm it.
The extraordinary creature whose heartbeat sound came from was behind this door.
Open?
Qiao Bai looked a little hesitant.
Before I came here, I was definitely curious, and my curiosity was very strong.
But the truth was right before his eyes, within his reach, and Qiao Bai couldn't help but think more.
What is the current state of this extraordinary creature that has lived for more than two thousand years? Alive?
Half dead? Is it aggressive towards humans? Or is it already in a dormant state?
Would opening this door be like unlocking a seal and releasing the devil from a bottle? Chaotic thoughts filled Qiao Bai's mind, but he still placed his hands on the door very honestly.
Cough cough...Qiao Bai coughed twice in his heart.
How do I explain this matter?
Worry is one thing.
On the other hand... through the previous teleportations through the wrong routes and the rooms he encountered, Qiao Bai had more or less gained some understanding of this ancient tomb. Combined with what he had seen... Qiao Bai had a guess.
It's not guaranteed to be completely correct, but it's somewhat related, right? If he thinks this way, no matter what kind of extraordinary creature is behind the door... it shouldn't be too dangerous...? "Squeak-hum-"
The door, which had not been opened for two thousand years, made a harsh sound the moment Qiao Bai put his hands on it.
Surprisingly, it wasn't as difficult to push as I thought.
Get started.
Use force.
The door opened.
The moment the door opened, a ray of light scanned Qiao Bai's body from top to bottom.
Qiao Bai stood there motionless.
It's not that Qiao Bai didn't want to dodge, but… even though he was mentally prepared, Qiao Bai was still startled by the presence at the door.
That is...
Angel.
This was the first name that came to Qiao Bai's mind.
In the center was an eye that was larger than Qiao Bai himself. It was not alive, but was obviously made up of a mechanical structure. It was half-open and half-closed, with a hint of sleepiness.
There are layers of rings suspended in the air outside, surrounded by six circles of light...the kind that are made up of eyes, big and small, none of which is as big as the one in the center.
The largest one is about the size of an adult man's fist, and the smallest one is about the size of a human eye.
Although these eyes are also made of mechanical things, they are smaller in shape, closer to the shape of human eyes, and are densely arranged together. Like the eye in the center, all of them are in a half-awake and half-asleep state, and the eyeballs do not move.
Qiao Bai still felt as if he was being stared at by many pairs of eyes.
At first glance, it feels terrifying and creepy.
Qiao Bai closed his eyes.
Take a deep breath.
fine.
No odor.
There is no bloody smell either.
Instead, you can smell a faint scent of pine and motor oil.
Qiao Bai: ...It's used to lubricate the chain, right?
I don't know if it's because he lost too much san, but Qiao Bai can still tell jokes to himself and his pets in his heart.
The cat, cat bug and little white snake froze again: "?"
You call it a joke? It's not funny at all! I can't laugh at all! Qiao Bai:) After looking at the fearless little crow and the carefree little jellyfish, Qiao Bai poked the stars that symbolized the cat bug and the little white snake in his spiritual sea.
Do you want to go back to the Spiritual Sea Beast Control Space? If you are afraid, I will send you back.
Cat and Bug: “!”
The hair is exploding... no, the scales are exploding!
How could I be afraid! What a joke! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I will never go! Maomao Chong looked very imposing. If Maomao Chong had not spoken a word or even moved the whole time, but only communicated with Qiao Bai with his eyes and mind, it would be a shame.
The little white snake beside him also didn't want to go back to the spiritual sea beast-controlling space.
Compared with the cat-and-bug with its scales flaking, the little white snake obediently dived into Qiao Bai's clothes.
Little White Snake: Covering one's ears and stealing a bell.jpg As long as the snake can't see it, it won't be afraid! The little white snake is both timid and strong.
It seemed that as long as Qiao Bai was by its side, it had the courage to face all difficulties.
Little White Snake: It's not shameful to be a snake for a few minutes! Not at all! The cat and cat bug who didn't expect this trick: "..."
It looked at Qiao Bai's chest with eager eyes.
How about...it also dives into Qiao Bai's arms and tries to cover its ears and steal the bell? Qiao Bai reaches out his hand and covers the cat and cat's eyes before the cat and cat can act.
Don't cause him unnecessary trouble at this time.
You just want to pretend you don't see it, what's the big deal? Just extend your hand.
All problems have been solved.
Qiao Bai controlled himself and did not make any sound. He activated his innate skill and looked at this... it was hard to call it, Qiao Bai just called it an "angel" in his heart (? ) This extraordinary creature should be a life form of an extraordinary creature.
The panel displays the other party's information.
Qiao Bai's pupils trembled even more.
This...what is this?!
[Pet: The Ultimate Weapon (?)]
[Attributes: All attributes]
[Variety: Mythology]
[Level: Ninth Order]
[Ultimate Form]
[Integrity: 1% (automatically annihilated when reset to zero)]
【zizizi——】
Qiao Bai: “???”
Qiao Bai: “!!!”
The word "ordinary shock" is not enough to describe Qiao Bai's expression at this moment.
Fuck! Holy shit!
Holy shit! What the hell is this?! The ultimate weapon? All attributes? Myth grade?
Ninth level strength?
It turns out that this is not really an ancient tomb, but an ancient research institute (? ) laboratory (? ) arsenal (crossed out) Qiao Bai felt that he needed to pinch his philtrum in order to stay awake for the rest of the conversation.
It’s not that he’s not strong enough.
This scene is really too shocking! Qiao Bai: Time machine - Oh, he doesn't need a time machine.
When I woke up from my blank and shocked state, fifteen minutes had passed.
During this period, the little white snake stayed quietly and obediently in Qiao Bai's arms.
Maomao Chong couldn't resist the curiosity and poked its head out from Qiao Bai's hand. It covered its eyes and looked curiously in the direction of the "ultimate weapon" through its fingers. It was timid and playful, which was exactly the character of Maomao Chong.
Little Crow and Little Jellyfish were hanging in the air on the left and right, guarding Qiao Bai.
Little Wu Jin's red eyes were fixed on the one opposite... the angel, the ultimate weapon, the extraordinary creature.
Compared to Little Crow, Little Jellyfish was more relaxed, circling around Qiao Bai's head.
Little Wu just gave the little jellyfish a look and let it go.
The child is not afraid.
If you like to play, then play a little.
Anyway, she's quite well behaved.
It's not a big problem.
To the extent that it can be resolved.
Qiao Bai looked at it more carefully. He wanted to know what the name of this [ultimate weapon] was...
fine.
I don’t know if it was recorded or for some other reason, but when Qiao Bai clicked on the question mark at the back, he saw the answer he wanted.
[Final Weapon: From the "Final Weapon" plan. Ancient humans discovered the great changes between this world, mysteriously declined, the alchemy era faded, gems and metals lost their original functions, a new master will be born in this world, and humans will usher in blood and great changes.
Based on the mythical slates they obtained, countless alchemists exerted their peak abilities and worked together to create the ultimate weapon to fight against the new master. However, due to various reasons, this plan was not as perfect as imagined...】
Qiao Bai: “?”
etc?
He seemed to know a lot of information, but also seemed to know nothing! Qiao Bai held his forehead.
Qiao Bai's brain received too much information and it was a bit difficult to digest.
The most important point is - this is a fucking out-of-context dog! "What do you mean this plan is not as perfect as imagined? There must be an explanation for where the imperfection is!" Qiao Bai couldn't help but complain.
In the quiet environment, Qiao Bai's voice stood out particularly.
[Ultimate Weapon] - Qiao Bai prefers to call it an angel because it looks similar to him - opened his half-awake and half-asleep eyes, and all his pupils were fixed on Qiao Bai's direction.
Qiao Bai's body was stiff, and he didn't have time to move.
The pets around Qiao Bai were the first to become alert and their fur stood up.
The little crow spread its wings with a swish: "!"
The cat and cat stuck its head out from Qiao Bai's arms and bared its teeth——
The little white snake also hovered over Qiao Bai's body, staring at the direction of the [Final Weapon] with a pair of golden eyes: Stare -
Only the small jellyfish moved slowly, expanding and contracting, showing a different kind of leisure, and could even bend its long tentacles into different shapes.
Small jellyfish: tentacles are bigger than question marks
Still a little jellyfish: tentacles are more like exclamation marks Qiao Bai: "..."
The solemn atmosphere was broken by several symbols of the little jellyfish.
For some reason, Qiao Bai suddenly wasn't afraid anymore.
It seems that this matter is not as terrible as imagined? The "angel" is staring at him, but the "angel" does not make any move.
Qiao Bai's gaze shifted from the "Angel" to the "Intactness: 0.6% (Automatically annihilated when reset to zero)" on the panel.
Qiao Bai: “?”
If I remember correctly, the integrity was still 1% before? Why did it drop to 0.4% in the blink of an eye? What did the [ultimate weapon] do? Open your eyes and look at him?
Qiao Bai thought uncertainly.
Look at him again.
It dropped from 0.6% to 0.4%.
If it continues to fall at this rate... this [ultimate weapon] that embodies the wisdom of countless alchemists will be completely damaged, fall into dormancy, or even disappear?
Qiao Bai felt it was a bit of a pity.
But I also feel that...it seems okay?
He really couldn't imagine how much impact and shock the man-made [ultimate weapon] would have on society after it was unearthed.
After knowing the past and present life of the [Ultimate Weapon], will humans regard it, or Him, as a living being, or use it as an inorganic machine? Qiao Bai didn't know about the others.
But in Qiao Bai's eyes and ears, what he saw was not the cold [ultimate weapon], but a living "angel" with a heartbeat.
Thinking of this, Qiao Bai sighed again.
It doesn't matter what he thinks.
Next, this "angel", this [ultimate weapon], is about to come to an end.
Qiao Bai shook his head.
Only 1% of life is left...
Repair? This is something that is completely impossible for modern humans and beast masters to do.
Qiao Bai looked at the "angel" with regret, watching the passing and disappearance of life.
Just as he was about to close the talent skill panel, an accident happened - the panel that was originally emitting a faint white light and was only visible to Qiao Bai, suddenly turned into a cold blue.
A line of text was framed in a box and appeared in front of Qiao Bai——
[An intelligent AI life form is detected and can be received. Do you want to bind and receive it?]
【whether】
(Note: After binding and receiving, the intelligent AI life form cannot attack the holder, harbor malicious intent, or engage in deception, etc.)
Qiao Bai: “?”
A pie in the sky fell directly into his bowl?
And intelligent AI lifeforms... Wait! There's not a single word about it on your fucking panel! Qiao Bai was madly complaining in his mind: How could a group of alchemists produce an AI spirit? He clicked [Yes] without hesitation.
Yes, yes, yes—it must be.
AI spirit... I don't know what it's used for, but it looks very powerful at first glance!
Received it!
Those eyes blinked at Qiao Bai.
At first, he didn't feel anything when being stared at, but when he blinked...hiss, goose bumps instantly appeared on Qiao Bai's body.
The chest, back, arms, and thighs, no part was left out.
It really does have that inhuman sense of horror.
Next second.
The huge "angel" gradually turned into silver star fragments within Qiao Bai's sight.
In the blink of an eye.
The "angel" disappeared completely.
Qiao Bai glanced at the panel.
No.
Qiao Bai: “?”
What about the angel? What about such a big angel after he received it?
"Hello, are you looking for me?"
A muffled, somewhat mechanical, but polite voice came from the direction of Qiao Bai's pocket.
Qiao Bai: “!”
Qiao Bai swore that he didn't want to be startled, but there were too many things in this ancient tomb that made him startled.
There were so many that Qiao Bai didn't want to talk at all.
That's it.
Do whatever you want.
Qiao Bai reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone.
Yes.
The moment he heard the voice, Qiao Bai realized that it was coming from his mobile phone.
reason?
Because this voice is exactly the same as the voice package he uses for listening to books on his mobile phone!
It sounds so incongruous!
Slide open the phone screen.
Unlock.
Qiao Bai saw an icon the same size as the software icon on his mobile phone... [Ultimate Weapon].
It is still in its original shape.
Lots of eyes.
Lots and lots of eyes.
Circles of eyes.
After being reduced in proportion, it did not look as scary as the huge one. The cat, bug and little white snake all looked curiously at the icon on Qiao Bai's phone, and their expressions showed that they were ready to make something.
"Ultimate weapon? You can speak, you are conscious, and you know the current situation?" Qiao Bai's questions were like a tidal wave hitting the "angel" in the phone: "The most important question right now is, can you change your voice? This voice is really..."
Not used to it.
Violation.
Weird and awkward.
"The existing strength is temporarily insufficient to support this operation." The final weapon was full of disharmony, making Qiao Bai feel like he was listening to the voice of a novel.
"You can call me 'Angel'."
Qiao Bai’s teeth hurt: “Can you hear what I’m thinking?”
"Please rest assured that after entering your electronic device, the angel cannot explore your thoughts in any way." Qiao Bai didn't know if it was his illusion, but he could hear some inappropriate tenderness and thoughtfulness in the mechanical voice.
Qiao Bai was silent.
Qiao Bai cursed.
Damn thoughtful.
Good job.
After entering the electronic device, it was impossible to detect his thoughts in any way. In other words, it was possible before entering the electronic device? Qiao Bai finally understood why the integrity of the [Ultimate Weapon] was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye. It turned out that this guy was detecting his inner thoughts! What was he thinking at the time? Qiao Bai thought about it again and was speechless for a while.
Fortunately... a burst of luck?
"There is no danger in the alchemy workshop. You can walk around and explore it at will. The most valuable items have already been obtained by you."
"The energy is not enough to support the conversation with you. The angel is about to fall into a dormant state. It will wake up again after the energy is recharged. I hope to see you again." After simply answering Qiao Bai's two questions, the phone returned to its silent state.
Except for the appearance of an "angel" on the phone screen that looked like a small screen pet, which could be dragged around but had no response and whose eyes were all closed, everything seemed to be the same as when I came.
Only Qiao Bai himself knows.
no the same.
It's definitely different.
Let’s not mention the fact that he took in an angel... let’s just call it that. Qiao Bai was a little unhappy about the fact that the [Ultimate Weapon] had probed his inner world, but it was somewhat understandable, and he found that the other party seemed to like the name “angel” very much.
The last thing I did before falling into sleep was to decide on a name.
Maybe they will be his future companions, so Qiao Bai naturally doesn't mind changing the name to a more pleasing and satisfactory one for the sake of others and himself.
"Mythology...are there other grades above the ninth level?" Qiao Bai murmured.
The answer...will not be known for a while.
After leaving the door that sealed the taboo, Qiao Bai was randomly teleported to another place. After taking a closer look, Qiao Bai felt that - well, it was a bit like a cafeteria.
Although there was nothing to eat here, he rested here temporarily because he could sit and lie down.
See if you can wait for other companions.
after all……
Just like the angel said, there was no danger or benefit to him here.
The most valuable existence has quietly lived in his mobile phone.
Others... this is just a pure alchemy workshop.
Alchemy...
Muttering this word in his mouth, Qiao Bai couldn't help but feel a little moved.
A pet professor who doesn't want to be an alchemist isn't a good beastmaster, right? What a pity.
The library, in theory, should be the place that records all the most important knowledge and history related to alchemy, but it did not take any protective measures for the books.
Two thousand years have corroded all the books beyond recognition.
It is impossible to read at all.
Not to mention exploring the secrets of alchemy.
Qiao Bai was studying the angel on his phone while waiting for someone to arrive.
finally.
In the afternoon, Qiao Bai welcomed his little friend, Ke Xia.
"Huh? There are people here." Ke Xia yawned, having been teleported from an unknown intersection in the maze. He said sadly, "Ah... I really don't want to leave. This teleportation mechanism is too unfriendly for people who are prone to motion sickness and pet sickness."
“I think I need a complaint window.”
Ke Xia kept on talking, dejectedly and lazily.
Qiao Bai: “…”
"If you feel uncomfortable, just sit for a while, eat something and take a rest." Qiao Bai said helplessly: "This should be a cafeteria. We didn't find anything of great value. We can just go out and look somewhere else later."
"Value..." Ke Xia casually walked to Qiao Bai and sat down. He looked up at Qiao Bai and slowly took out food from his backpack one by one: "Value... depends on how you judge it... From the perspective of historical research, the entire ancient tomb is very valuable."
"But it may be a little different from what we thought at the beginning." Ke Xia said with certainty.
Qiao Bai immediately determined that the other party should have also discovered that this was not a beastmaster's tomb, but an alchemist's tomb... Oh, no, an alchemy workshop.
An alchemy workshop of a group of alchemists.
Thinking of this, Qiao Bai touched his chin.
Come to think of it... He didn't seem to have learned much news or records about alchemy and alchemists from books or various records before.
Not to mention the alchemy workshop.
It seems that human history began with the battle with supernatural creatures.
Earlier... yes, but there was never any mention of alchemy.
Why is this? Qiao Bai was curious and puzzled.
But it’s not a good time to ask at this time.
The main reason is that I am not familiar with Ke Xia.
It would be great if Professor Wu were here...if not, then meeting Cui Wenzhong would be fine too.
We are all engaged in scientific research, so it is normal to have a little curiosity, right?
After resting for most of the day, Ke Xia even took a nap here, then packed up and set off with Qiao Bai.
Only then did Qiao Bai know.
The teleportation array at the door will indeed separate them, but after they meet inside, if they walk through the teleportation array together, they will not be separated, but will be teleported to the same place.
The next afternoon, everyone gathered together.
And decided to go out first.
The true identity of this underground ancient tomb was beyond their imagination. The beastmasters, breeders, and pet professors were unable to conduct real research on this ancient tomb.
Because this is not an ancient tomb at all! Jiang Heng: Fall! "Please keep the ancient tomb... ahem, the situation of the two thousand year old beauty a secret." After coming out, Jiang Heng did not take time to rest, and immediately made a request to everyone.
No confidentiality agreement was signed.
The status of the beastmasters, breeders and pet professors who can participate in this operation is not low. Even the Beastmaster Alliance has to take their thoughts into consideration to some extent, and will not use overly tough measures if they can still negotiate.
"Definitely."
"Don't worry, we know what we can and can't say."
"I am watching my students and will not let them tell anyone."
Everyone made their promises, and Jiang Heng showed a grateful smile on his face: "I really appreciate the cooperation of all the teachers, seniors and professors. It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest first."
Everyone exchanged a few simple greetings and then said goodbye to each other.
I'm so tired.
In the ancient tomb... well, they had been exploring inside the two thousand year old beauty for so long. Even if they had taken a special break, the mental and physical fatigue would not be easily eliminated. What's more, it wasn't a good place to rest inside.
Qiao Bai was invited by Professor Wu, so naturally he went back with Professor Wu and the others to rest.
When I woke up, it was already the next morning.
The excavation of the ancient tomb has not stopped. At first glance, there are still many workers busy outside, and the work is still in full swing.
Qiao Bai stood at the entrance of the temporary camp and observed for ten minutes before he discovered that there were fewer professionals in the beast taming industry. The invited beast tamers, breeders, and pet professors were all preparing to leave in batches.
Walking together is too conspicuous.
So everyone is separate.
Qiao Bai turned around and went back into the house. Professor Wu had already returned to his previous research work - he was optimizing the evolutionary route of the fifth extraordinary creature in these days.
"Hey? Xiaobai, you're here, come here, come here, take a look at this evolutionary route I came up with. What do you think?" Professor Wu waved at him with a happy smile on his face: "I think this evolutionary route I came up with is particularly good. It saves ten kinds of intermediate resources compared to the previous one!"
Qiao Bai took a look and opened the golden finger, and the problem became clear at a glance: "The fire attribute energy requirement is enough, but at the moment of evolution, there must be an energy that can reach the level of combustion and ignition requirements. If it is not enough, the evolution may fail."
"Hiss - it seems that there is indeed this hidden danger. Let me think about it again and see if I can improve it..." Upon seeing this, Professor Wu withdrew his hand and muttered to himself.
Qiao Bai couldn't help but feel curious. Looking at Professor Wu who had devoted himself to his research, Qiao Bai thought for a moment and asked, "Professor Wu, is there anything about alchemy that cannot be discussed?"
"I feel like everyone is being very secretive."
Upon hearing this, Professor Wu stopped what he was doing and turned to look in the direction of Qiao Bai.
Looking at Qiao Bai's young face and curious eyes, Professor Wu laughed: "I almost forgot, Xiaobai, you are still a young man, it is normal to be curious."
"Well...how should I put it..." Professor Wu glanced at Cui Wenzhong who was also in the room, thought for a while and said.
"It's not that I'm afraid of anything else, but the main thing is... the existence of alchemy is in a Schrodinger's situation, which cannot be confirmed or refuted. Do you understand?"
Professor Wu sighed helplessly and said, "Therefore, alchemy has always been in an embarrassing situation in China and internationally."
Deny alchemy, but every now and then you can encounter some ancient alchemical formations with various effects.
Admit it, apart from these formations, there is nothing else that can prove the existence of alchemy.
And the effect displayed by the formation...can also be achieved by extraordinary creatures.
How can you say that this must be alchemy? ! (End of this chapter)
