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 displayed 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?

合着这里真的不是一个古墓，而是一个上古研究所（？）实验室（？）兵工厂（划掉） 乔白觉得他需要掐自己的人中才能保持接下来的清醒。

不是他不给力。

实在是眼前的这一幕过于让人震惊！ 乔白：时光机——哦，他不需要时光机。

从大脑空白和震惊的状态中清醒过来，时间已经过去了十五分钟。

在此期间，小白蛇一直安安静静乖巧地待在乔白的怀里。

猫猫虫耐不住好奇地从乔白的手里探出脑袋，遮掩眼睛好奇地从指缝里看向那个“最终兵器”的方向，又怂又爱玩，说的就是猫猫虫这种性格了。

小乌和小水母则是一左一右地悬空守护在乔白的身边。

小乌金红色的双眸死死地锁定着对面的那只……天使，最终兵器，超凡生物。

和小乌比起来，小水母要更加的放松，围着乔白的脑袋转圈圈。

小乌只是给了小水母一个眼神，就任由小水母去了。

孩子不害怕。

爱玩就爱玩一点。

反正还挺乖巧的。

问题不大。

在能解决的范围内。

乔白更加认真地查看了起来，他就想知道，这个【最终兵器】的称呼，究竟是怎么一回事……

还好。

不知道是有记载还是其他的原因，当乔白点开后面的问号，看到了他想要的答案。

【最终兵器：来自于“最终兵器”计划。上古的人类发现了这片天地之间的巨变，神秘没落，炼金时代褪去，宝石和金属失去了原本的作用，新的主宰将诞生于这片天地，人类将迎来血腥和巨变。

炼金术师们根据得到的神话石板，无数的炼金术师发挥出了巅峰的能力，合众人之力创造出了用来对抗新主宰的最终兵器，然而因为种种原因，这个计划并不像想象中的完美……】

乔白：“？”

等等？

他好像知道了很多消息，但是又好像什么都不知道！ 乔白扶额。

乔白大脑接收的消息有点多，消化起来有点困难。

最重要的一点是——这特么的是个断章狗啊！ “什么叫做这个计划不是想象中的完美？不完美在什么地方，总要有个说法吧！”乔白没忍住，发出了抱怨的声音。

在安静的环境中，乔白的声音显得格外的凸出。

【最终兵器】——乔白更喜欢称之为天使，因为长得比较像——睁开了半醒半睡的眼睛，所有的瞳孔统一锁定了乔白的方向。

乔白身体僵硬，还没来得及动作。

乔白身边的宠兽们先一步地警惕、炸毛了。

小乌“唰”的一下张开双翅：“！”

猫猫虫从乔白的怀里探出脑袋：龇牙——

小白蛇也盘旋在乔白的身上瞪着一双黄金瞳，紧紧地盯着【最终兵器】的方向：盯——

唯独小水母，一收一缩，动作缓慢，表现出了一种别样的悠闲，甚至还能把几根长长的触手弯成不同的形状。

小水母：触手比问号

还是小水母：触手比感叹号 乔白：“……”

严肃凝重的氛围，被小水母的几个符号给打破了。

不知道为什么，乔白突然之间就害怕不起来了。

好像这件事情并没有想象中的可怕？ “天使”在盯着他，但是“天使”并没有任何的动作。

乔白的目光从“天使”的身上转移到了面板上的【完好度：0.6%（归零自动泯灭）】

乔白：“？”

要是没有记错，之前看的话，这个完好度还是1%吧？ 为什么一眨眼的工夫就掉了0.4% 【最终兵器】做了什么？ 睁眼看他？

乔白不确定地想到。

再看他一眼。

从0.6%又掉到了0.4%。

按照这个速度持续掉下去的话……这个集合了无数炼金术师智慧结晶的【最终兵器】，即将彻底地损坏，陷入休眠又或者是消失？

乔白觉得有点可惜。

又觉得……好像也还行？

他实在是不敢想象，人造的【最终兵器】被挖掘出来后，会给社会带来多大的影响和震动。

人类在知道了【最终兵器】的前世今生后，会把它，又或者是祂，当作一个活生生的生命体来看待，还是无机质的机械来使用？ 其他人乔白不知道。

可在乔白的眼里，乔白的耳朵里，他眼前的不是冷冰冰的【最终兵器】，而是活生生地拥有心跳声的“天使”。

想着乔白又叹了一口气。

他怎么想的并不重要。

接下来这个“天使”，这个【最终兵器】，即将陷入终结。

乔白摇了摇头。

仅剩下1%的生命啊……

修？ 这是现在的人类，御兽师完全不可能做到的事情吧。

乔白用惋惜的目光看着“天使”，注视着生命的流逝和消亡。

就在他反手准备关上天赋技能面板的时候，意外发生了——原本散发着淡淡的莹白色光芒，只有乔白能够看得见的面板上，光芒在一瞬间变成了冰冷的蓝色。

一行文字被方框框住，跳出在了乔白的面前——

【检测到有智能AI生命体可进行接收，是否要进行绑定接收】

【是】【否】

（注：绑定接收后，智能AI生命体无法对持有者发起攻击、怀有恶意、存在欺骗等行为）

乔白：“？”

天降馅饼，直接砸在了他的碗里？

而且智能AI生命体……等等！ 你特么的面板上是一个字都没有提啊！ 乔白一边在心里疯狂地吐槽：一群炼金术师炼出了一个AI精是什么鬼，一边毫不犹豫地点击【是】

是是是——必须是。

AI精……虽然不知道有什么用，但是一看就很厉害的样子！

收了！

那些眼睛对着乔白眨了眨。

本来被直勾勾地盯着还没有什么感觉，但是眼睛这么一眨……嘶，乔白身上的鸡皮疙瘩瞬间起来了。

前胸后背手臂大腿，没有一处被落下。

是真的很有那种非人的惊悚感了。

下一秒。

巨大的“天使”在乔白视线可及范围内一点点地化作银星碎屑。

眨眼的工夫。

“天使”消失得干干净净。

乔白看一眼面板。

没有。

乔白：“？”

天使呢？ 他接收之后那么大一个天使呢？

“您好，请问您是在找我吗。”

一道闷闷的、带着几分机械化，但是又很有礼貌的声音，从乔白口袋的方向响起。

乔白：“！”

乔白发誓，他不想一惊一乍的，可是这个古墓里让他一惊一乍的存在实在是太多了。

多到乔白根本不想说话。

就这样吧。

爱咋咋地。

乔白伸手从口袋里掏出了手机。

是的。

在听到这个声音的一瞬间，乔白就反应过来，这是从他手机里传出来的声音。

原因？

因为这个声音就和他手机里用来听书的语音包一模一样啊！

听起来实在是太有违和感了！

划开手机屏幕。

解锁。

乔白就在自己的手机里看到了一个和软件图标一样大小的……【最终兵器】。

还是它原本的造型。

很多眼睛。

很多很多眼睛。

一圈接着一圈的眼睛。

等比例缩小之后没有巨大一只看起来那么吓人，猫猫虫和小白蛇都好奇地探头朝着乔白手机上的图标看了过来，它们的表情很有点蠢蠢欲动在里面。

“最终兵器？你会说话，有意识，知道现在的情况？”乔白的问题排山倒海一般地朝着手机里的“天使”砸了过去：“眼下最重要的问题是，你能不能换个声音，这个声音实在是……”

不习惯。

违和。

奇怪又别扭。

“现有力量暂时不足以支撑此操作。”最终兵器充满违和感，让乔白感觉自己在听小说的声音响起。

“您可以称呼我‘天使’。”

乔白牙疼：“你能听到我心里在想什么？”

“请您放心，在进入您的电子设备之后，天使无法通过任何方式探寻你的想法。”不知道是不是乔白的错觉，乔白硬生生地从机械的声音中听出了几分不应该有的温柔和体贴。

乔白沉默。

乔白骂骂咧咧。

该死的体贴。

好家伙。

进入电子设备之后无法通过任何方式探测他的想法，也就是说——在进入电子设备之前是可以的喽？ 乔白终于明白了，为什么之前【最终兵器】的完好度以一种肉眼可见的速度在“噌噌噌”地往下掉，感情这家伙正在探测他内心的想法呢！ 他当时想了什么？ 乔白重新回想一下，一时之间有些说不出话来。

还好……幸运大爆发？

“炼金工坊没有任何的危险，您可以随意走动和探究，其中最有价值的物品已经被您获得。”

“能量不足以支撑与您的对话，天使即将陷入休眠状态，能量充源后将重新苏醒，希望能与您再见。”简单地回答了乔白两个问题，手机重新恢复了安静的状态。

除了手机屏幕上多了一个像是屏幕小宠物，可以随意拖动，但是没有任何反应，眼睛全部都处于紧闭状态的“天使”，一切好像和来的时候一样。

只有乔白自己知道。

不一样。

绝对不一样了。

不提他收纳了天使这件事……就这么称呼吧，对【最终兵器】探测了他的内心这件事情乔白稍微有点不爽，又有点可以理解，并且他发现对方好像很喜欢“天使”这个称呼。

在陷入沉眠之前最后干的一件事情就是把名字定下来。

说不定就是将来的同伴，乔白自然不介意为人为己，换上一个更加顺口的满意的称呼。

“神话……在九阶之上还存在其他的品级吗？”乔白喃喃地说道。

这个答案……一时半会儿是无法知晓的了。

离开了这扇封印着禁忌的门扉，乔白被随机传送到了其他的地方，分辨了一下，乔白觉得——恩，有点像是个食堂。

虽说这里已经没有什么吃的了，但是看在能坐能躺的份上，他就暂时在这里休息了。

看看能不能等到其他的同伴。

毕竟……

就像是天使说的，这里对他没有危险也没有好处。

最有价值的存在已经安安静静地住进了他的手机里。

其他的……这里就是一个纯粹的炼金工坊。

炼金术啊……

嘴里念叨着这个词，乔白不由得有点心动起来。

不想成为炼金术师的宠兽教授不是好的御兽师不是吗？ 可惜。

图书馆，理论上来说应该是记载了一切和炼金术相关最重要知识和过往的地方，对书籍居然没有做任何的防护措施。

两千年的时光将所有的书籍全部都腐蚀得不成样。

根本无法进行阅读。

更别说探寻炼金术的秘密。

乔白研究着手机里的天使，顺带着等着人来。

终于。

在下午的时候，乔白迎来了他的小伙伴——柯夏。

“恩？这里有人啊。”柯夏打着哈欠，从不知道那个迷宫路口被传送过来，表情丧丧地说道：“啊……我真的不想走了，这个传送机制对于晕车晕机晕宠兽的人来说实在是太不友好了。”

“我觉得我需要一个投诉窗口。”

柯夏絮絮叨叨，垂头丧气又懒洋洋地说着。

乔白：“……”

“不舒服就坐一会，吃点东西休息一下。”乔白无奈地说道：“这里应该是一个食堂，没有发现什么太有价值的东西，等下我们直接出去换个地方再看就行了。”

“价值……”柯夏随意地走到乔白的身边坐下，抬头看了一眼乔白，慢吞吞地一样接着一样地从背包里掏出食物：“价值……要看怎么判定……从历史研究上来说，整个古墓都非常有价值。”

“不过可能和我们一开始想的有点不太一样就是了。”柯夏说得很肯定。

乔白立刻就判断出了，对方应该也发现了，这不是一个御兽师的墓穴，这是一个炼金术师的墓穴……啊不对，炼金工坊。

一群炼金术师的炼金工坊。

想到这里乔白摸了摸下巴。

说起来……他之前好像没有怎么从书籍和各种记载中，了解到过关于炼金术和炼金术师的消息和记录。

更别提炼金工坊了。

好像人类的历史就是从和超凡生物之间的战斗开始。

再往前的……有，但是从未提到过炼金相关。

这是为什么？ 乔白心里有好奇和不解。

但又不好在这个时候问出来。

主要是和柯夏不熟。

要是吴老教授在就好了……不行碰到个崔文仲也行啊。

大家都是搞科研的，稍微有点好奇心是很正常的事情对吧。

休息了大半天，柯夏甚至在这里睡了个觉，这才收拾好东西和乔白一起行动起来。

乔白这才知道。

门口的那个传送阵的确会让他们分散开来，但是在里面遇到之后，再一起走传送阵，就不会被分散开来，而是会被传送到同一个地方。

第二天下午的时候，所有人就汇合在了一起。

并且决定先出去。

这个地下古墓的真实身份超出了他们的想象，御兽师、培育师和宠兽教授都无法对这个古墓做出真正的研究。

因为这特么的根本就不是一个古墓！ 姜恒：摔——！ “还请大家务必对古墓……咳咳，两千年美人的情况保密。”出来之后，姜恒顾不上去休息，第一时间就向所有人进行了请求。

没有签保密协议。

能来参加这次行动的御兽师、培育师和宠兽教授的身份地位都不低，哪怕是御兽联盟，多多少少也要顾忌他们的想法，在可以商谈的情况下就不会用上过于强硬的手段。

“肯定的。”

“放心，我们知道什么能说什么不能说。”

“我的学生我都看着，不会让他们说出去的。”

大家都做出了保证，姜恒的脸上露出了一个感谢的笑容：“实在是感谢各位老师、前辈和教授们的配合，也不早了，大家都先回去休息吧。”

所有人又简单地寒暄了两句，就相互打着招呼告别了。

累了累了。

在古墓……咳，两千年美人内部探索了那么久，就算他们有特地的去休息，心灵上的疲惫和身体上的疲惫也不是那么容易消除的，更何况里面本身也不是什么好的休息的地方。

乔白是被吴教授邀请来的，自然是跟着吴教授他们一起回去休息的。

一觉醒来已经是第二天上午了。

古墓的挖掘工作并没有停止下来，乍一眼看过去，外面还是有不少的工人正在忙忙碌碌，依旧是一副热火朝天的模样。

乔白站在临时营地的门口观察了十分钟就发现了——御兽行业的各种专业人士少了，被邀请来的御兽师和培育师和宠兽教授都在分批地准备离开。

一起走过于显眼。

所以大家是分开的。

乔白转身回到屋内，吴教授已经重新投入到了他之前的研究工作中——正在优化这些天以来第五只超凡生物的进化路线。

“哎？小白啊，你来啦，过来过来，伱看看我想出来的这个进化路线怎么样？”吴教授冲着朝着招手，脸上带着喜悦的笑容：“我觉得我想的这个进化路线特别的好，比之前足足省下了十种中级资源需求！”

乔白看了一眼，金手指一开，问题一目了然：“火属性能量要求够了，但是进化的那一刻要有一个能够达到燃烧、点火种要求程度的能量，不太够，进化有失败的可能。”

“嘶——好像确实是有这个隐患，那我再想想，看看能不能再改进一下……”吴教授见状收回手，嘀嘀咕咕地说道。

乔白有点克制不住心里的好奇，看着已经全身心地投入到研究中的吴教授，乔白想了想问道：“吴教授，那个……有关炼金术是有什么不能说的地方吗？”

“我感觉大家都是一副讳莫如深的样子。”

吴教授闻言停下了手里的动作，扭头看向乔白的方向。

看着乔白年轻的面容和好奇的眼神，吴教授笑了起来：“我差点忘了，小白你也还是个年轻人，会好奇是很正常的事情。”

“恩……怎么说呢……”吴教授看了一眼同样还在房间内的崔文仲，想了想说道。

“倒不是忌讳别的，主要是……炼金术的存在，处于一种薛定谔，无法证实又无法反驳的状况，你能理解吗？”

说着吴教授无奈地叹了一口气：“因此炼金术在华夏，在国际上，都一直处于一种尴尬的境地。”
