Several hours later.
Li Tianyi suddenly opened his eyes and said with a wry smile, "Luckily, this place is safe enough, otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died."
Slowly approach the pit.
"There hasn't been any crisis here for so long, so it should be very safe."
With a change in mindset, he retrieved whatever he might need, used his internal strength to protect his entire body, and jumped down.
After falling for about a minute, I felt something under my feet and was immediately alarmed, so I cautiously scanned my surroundings.
The surroundings were dim, but there was no sign of danger.
"What a strange place."
They slowly explored forward, and what they saw was similar to what they had seen before. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the far distance, extremely dazzling.
Li Tianyi protected himself with all his might and walked towards the light, where he could vaguely see a large, blocky object.
"Huh, such a strong energy fluctuation." Puzzled, he moved closer. Suddenly, the system voice sounded: "Ding! Level 5 Mystic Crystal Ore detected. Pick it up?"
"Pick it up." Li Tianyi grinned from ear to ear and continued searching into the distance. He soon found another level-four mystic crystal ore and could no longer contain his joy, bursting into laughter.
The room was spacious, and the laughter carried far, but no echo returned.
Li Tianyi hadn't noticed this yet and was still searching for Xuanjing ore...
Unbeknownst to them, they had already collected dozens of huge pieces of mystic crystal ore. Just as they were about to stop and rest, a shadow flashed by in the far distance.
"Someone's there?" Li Tianyi wasn't sure, so he quickly pulled out Po Jun and went to search the spot where the shadow had disappeared.
Just as they got close, a crystal staff came crashing down, accompanied by a shrill female voice, "I'll beat you, I'll beat you to death..."
Li Tianyi hurriedly dodged and grabbed the Xuanjing Cudgel, saying, "Calm down, calm down, I'm human."
The woman stood there, bewildered, muttering to herself, "How come there's someone here? What's going on here..."
After a few words, the woman's face was full of anger, her eyes were bloodshot, and she gripped the Xuanjing staff with both hands, sweeping it with all her might.
boom!
Caught off guard, Li Tianyi was struck in the chest, feeling a burning pain.
He is now a powerhouse beyond the Grandmaster level. Even without deliberately using internal energy to protect himself, he is stronger than ordinary Iron Shirt and Golden Bell Shield techniques.
However, the person in front of him clearly had no cultivation experience, and the fact that he was able to injure Li Tianyi was entirely due to the Xuanjing Staff.
He snatched the crystal staff from her, "Have you made enough of a scene?"
The oppressive aura and murderous intent made the young woman tremble with fear. She glanced at Li Tianyi out of the corner of her eye and asked, "You, you really, aren't, a monster?"
"A monster?" His expression turned serious, his gaze searching the distance, but he saw nothing unusual. "Are you sure there's a monster?"
The young woman shuddered, still frightened, and nodded emphatically.
Li Tianyi carefully observed her reaction and thought to himself, "She doesn't seem to be lying. That means there really is a monster here."
Try to make your voice as soft as possible, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
The young woman clung tightly to the crystal staff, glancing at him every now and then, "You, you're really not a monster?"
"No, it's not!"
To convince her, Li Tianyi turned on a powerful flashlight, making the surroundings bright.
A gasp of surprise rang out.
A few seconds later, the young woman slowly opened her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable with the bright light.
Li Tianyi was also sizing her up, muttering to himself, "She looks about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, about 170 cm tall, with an oval face, long hair, and is rather thin. There's one thing I really can't figure out: how did she survive in such an environment?"
The last sentence was spoken quite loudly, and the young woman heard it clearly. She slowly straightened up, pointed at the Mystic Crystal Cudgel, and exclaimed, "Rely on it!"
Li Tianyi was completely bewildered.
“Deep within the Mystic Crystal, there is a very unique Mystic Crystal. As long as you are near it, it can provide the nutrients that the human body needs.” The young woman smiled bitterly. “I don’t know if I’ve absorbed too much, or if my body is already saturated, or if it can only provide this much energy. I’ve been starving for the past few days.”
Li Tianyi didn't say anything, but took out a bag of dried meat from his pocket and threw it over.
The young woman's eyes lit up, and she almost drooled as she wolfed down the jerky.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly."
They kindly handed over a bottle of water and waited quietly.
A few minutes later, the young lady finally finished eating, leaned against the wall with a happy expression, and drifted off to sleep.
"This?" What could Li Tianyi say? He could only act as a guard.
As time passed, she slowly woke up and found that Li Tianyi had not left yet. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and a smile gradually spread across her lips.
"Big brother."
"You're awake."
"Yes!" The young lady smiled sweetly, which was like a spring breeze. "My name is Baili Tong. I came to do archaeology with my grandfather and fell in without knowing why. I don't know how many years I lived in there."
Her eyes reddened, and two crystal tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Wait, you said your name is Baili Tong?" Li Tian's eyes flashed with surprise. "The famous archaeologist, Baili Cangyue, is your grandfather?"
"You know my grandfather?" Baili Tong's expression was complicated.
"I don't recognize it." Li Tianyi took out a copy of the core materials from the Robotics Research Institute, given to him by Elder Li, and flipped to the center. "Take a look for yourself."
The above briefly introduces Baili Cangyue's life, and at the end there is a note: A master of robotics research whose talents were wasted on archaeology.
Baili Tong's tears flowed uncontrollably. She knelt down at the deepest point, kowtowing and sobbing, "Grandpa, can you hear me? You can rest in peace now, knowing how future generations will judge you."
Li Tianyi felt a tightness in his chest. This was a master whom even Elder Li and Elder Niu were ashamed of, and yet he had perished in this dark and hopeless place.
"Baili Tong, Master Cang Yue is gone, and I am very sad." He gently patted her shoulder. "Take me to pay my respects to the master."
"Hmm!" His voice was extremely hoarse, and he was somewhat unsteady on his feet.
Li Tianyi instinctively grabbed her arm.
Baili Tong shuddered, let out a soft gasp, and her cheeks turned as red as apples.
The two of them did not speak again.
Soon after, they arrived at a very special place where a skeleton lay on the ground. Baili Tong shook him off and knelt down, weeping.
Why not let the master rest in peace?
"The surroundings are too hard, and I don't have any tools." Baili Tong kowtowed repeatedly, "Grandpa, I'm so sorry, so sorry, sob sob..."
With a try-it-out mentality, Li Tianyi slashed the ground with all his might, leaving only a very shallow mark.
"Such hard pyrite."
After several attempts, I decided to give up.
He pulled out a body bag from the system space. "Baili Tong, put your grandfather in there, and I'll take you out."
"Get out?" It was these two words that sustained her; otherwise, she would have ended her own life long ago and followed her grandfather.
“Yes, go out.” His eyes were extremely firm.
Baili Tong carefully took the body bag and placed her grandfather's body inside.
The process was slow, and Li Tianyi didn't rush him, patiently waiting.
"Alright." He bowed deeply towards the body bag. "Grandpa, Tong'er will take you home."
Just as she was about to pick up the bag, Li Tianyi said, "Put it down. I'll use my storage space to take him with me."
"Storage space?" Baili Tong looked completely bewildered.
"Hmm!" Li Tianyi smiled. "You've been trapped for too long and don't know what's going on outside. Let me give you a brief overview. Now..."
It took almost half an hour to give a simple description.
Baili Tong was stunned for a long time, her eyes wide with disbelief, her brows furrowed.
To convince her as quickly as possible, Li Tian began by showing her the high-tech items in the system space.
She would exclaim in surprise every time one appeared.
As time went by, Baili Tong gradually became numb and watched quietly.
When the first generation of combat robots appeared, she exclaimed repeatedly, "What a perfect robot, what a perfect robot!"
Li Tianyi smiled and prepared to take it back.
"Don't move." Baili Tong rushed over and quickly groped the robot's body with both hands.
Woo, woo!
This robot had long since lost its power and was considered a scrapped product. The reason it was still in the system space was because of its extraordinary significance, and Li Tianyi couldn't bear to scrap it.
"Me, what the hell?"
The machine slowly extended its right arm, and Baili Tong stood on it, being brought to the head position.
The cockpit doors open.
Baili Tong was very excited and rushed to the neural interface console to type in the command.
"Neural link system activated, current linking degree 30%".
As time went on, the connectivity had already reached 100%, but Bailitong did not stop and continued to try to connect.
The robot was radiating a yellow light, standing like a war god.
"Woo, hidden link system activated, current link level 10%."
"Linkage rate 20%".
......
It didn't stop until it reached fifty percent.
Baili Tong suddenly opened her eyes, and two red beams shot out from the robot's eyes, landing directly on the Xuanjing ore, where two half-meter-deep pits appeared.
"Holy crap, so that's how robots are used." Li Tianyi stared wide-eyed, a broad smile on his face.
"Sigh!" Baili Tong severed the neural link and slowly got out of the driver's seat. "My ability is too low. If Grandpa were still alive, he could have achieved at least 70% connection."
"If they're this strong at fifty, wouldn't they be incredibly powerful at seventy?"
"It's not that defying the heavens," Baili Tong said with a faint smile. "But I can still beat you up."
"I, I, damn it!"
Li Tianyi's mind was buzzing, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. "What would happen if the hidden links reached 100%?"
"A thousand of you defending at full strength, I'll cut you down with a single strike."
Somewhat disbelieving, he asked, "Really?"
"real!"
Li Tianyi laughed wildly, rushed over, picked her up, and spun her around frantically, shouting, "Good, good!"
"You're hurting me." Baili Tong tried to break free, but he held her even tighter.
A feeling of suffocation welled up inside me, my eyes began to roll back, and they throbbed weakly.
At the same time, Li Tianyi suddenly came to his senses and quickly let go of her. Baili Tong was a little unsteady and fell towards his chest.
He quickly steadied her, but his arm brushed past her chest.
"ah!"
Before the exclamation could even finish, her lips collided with Li Tianyi's. Baili Tong trembled all over, her mind went blank, and she took what she wanted.
Li Tian was startled and tried to push her away, but heard heavy breathing. He thought to himself, "Her hypersensitive constitution...she's aroused? What...what should I do now?"
Before you could figure it out, she clung to you like an octopus, tearing at your clothes.
"Let go, let go now."
Baili Tong couldn't hear her at all and hugged her even tighter.
"Little girl, you asked for this, don't blame me."
Responding with deep affection...
