Half a day is neither a long nor a short time.
By this time, Li Ming had already stored all the equipment Lin Xu had given him on the island.
But he did not leave this loose soil.
Although he felt that Lin Xu was an unfathomable big shot, he still hoped to see Lin Xu safely pass through the ruins before he would feel at ease leaving this place.
Lin Xu had already slaughtered countless people within the Golden Maze.
He has now dissected and studied at least five types of golden soldiers, plus the two types he studied at the beginning, making a total of seven types of soldier puppets.
Through these puppets, his mechanical abilities greatly increased, especially in the creation of puppet mechanisms and the application of various transmission shafts; he learned a great deal.
Given enough materials, he is confident that he can design a set of golden golems that meet his own requirements, and that their combat power will not be weaker than that of the soldiers in the maze.
However, to make this kind of puppet move, it still needs that special liquid gold.
After disassembling the golden soldier several more times, Lin Xu confirmed once again that he indeed had no way to replicate this liquid.
After abandoning his research efforts, Lin Xu's speed in killing the golden soldiers increased considerably.
He had spent most of the previous half day melting the maze walls.
As for killing the golden puppet, Lin Xu only needs to shoot out a single hair, which is enough to instantly kill any kind of puppet.
At this moment, Lin Xu casually threw a soldier holding a reverse-blade sword to the ground and shot out a hair.
The next moment, the soldier's core was pierced, and his entire body began to crack.
After the soldier shattered, Lin Xu collected the gold ingots that the soldier had dropped.
The entire golden labyrinth began to shake violently.
Lin Xu narrowed his eyes, but he wasn't surprised.
If he remembers correctly, he has already slaughtered his way through the entire maze.
All the golden soldiers had turned into corpses.
The ruins should already be considered cleared.
Sure enough, the walls of the entire maze began to slowly sink the next moment.
After those golden walls disappeared underground, they quickly dissolved, turning into clumps of gold, which then gathered together.
Once all the gold had gathered, it vanished like a phantom from the spot.
But where the gold disappeared, a large gold ingot remained, reflecting the dazzling sunlight.
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow as he looked at the lump of gold.
He flipped his hand and took out the gold ingots he had collected along the way, which landed right on the gold nuggets left behind on the golden wall.
As if triggering some mechanism, the gold began to merge and deform, eventually forming a brand new gold cube.
This cube has an unusually bright gold color, and its texture is subtly different from ordinary gold.
However, this was not the first time Lin Xu had seen this kind of gold.
Because the piece of gold he had taken from Wang En was exactly the same as the lump of gold in front of him.
Lin Xu looked enlightened.
At this point, he was 90% certain that Wang En had indeed come into contact with similar gold ruins and obtained gold from them.
Thinking about it this way, perhaps Wang En also received a share of the final reward after clearing the ruins?
Lin Xu initially found it strange that Wang En abandoned the treasure map of the Black Goat Ruins when he left.
After all, only if Wang En possessed something even more precious would he have no choice but to abandon the Black Goat Relics.
But Lin Xu found it hard to imagine anything more advanced than the Chain Relics at this stage.
In retrospect, what Wang En was willing to give up the Black Goat Ruins to keep by his side might just be the final reward of the ruins before him.
Only another, even more precious relic could make these nobles, known for their greed, give up the benefits they had already gained.
Lin Xu then turned to look at the ruins in the desert.
He was now even more curious about what the building would ultimately reward him with.
Lin Xu didn't waste any time. He casually put the two-ton gold block back into his spatial storage and then headed towards the ruins.
At this moment, Lin Xu had already activated the trap detector he had stolen, and at the same time, he was on high alert, secretly guarding against possible traps.
However, no traps appeared until he arrived at the ruins and touched the reward.
It seems that as long as the maze is solved, the ruins will be conquered, and there are no additional difficulties.
After Lin Xu touched the reward from the ruins, the ruins began to tremble violently.
Like the previous ruins, this building also began to slowly sink, appearing as if it were hidden underground, but in reality, it was disappearing into the void without a trace.
Lin Xu then saw the sculptures in the ruins more clearly.
It is an armored warrior standing in golden armor, leaning on a giant sword.
The warrior statue was very majestic, but Lin Xu always felt that compared to the Dark Orca Mother Beast and the figure behind that mother beast, this golden warrior seemed incredibly weak.
The two sides seem to be on completely different levels.
However, Lin Xu had no idea what was behind the sculpture, so he put aside his speculations and focused his attention on the reward he had just received.
The rewards from this relic are indeed much weaker than those from the Orca Mother Relic. Aside from the gold and knowledge of the puppet soldier's structure, there's only one prize.
This is a garment woven with gold threads.
The clothes were so soft and transparent that they looked like a layer of golden mist, as if they would dissipate at the slightest touch.
But when Lin Xu held the garment in his hand, he found that it was quite heavy, roughly equivalent to two or three down coats combined.
Lin Xu, filled with anticipation, immediately checked the attributes of the reward:
【The Mysterious Golden Thread Garment】
[Description: This garment seems to possess some kind of bloodline power... What are you trying to do? Don't subject this to those strange modifications!]
[Function: Clothing containing the secrets of the golden bloodline. If enough of the same type of clothing are collected and a special blessing is obtained, it seems that the bloodline can be purified and authority can be gained.]
"Bloodline? Authority!"
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow.
Lin Xu had never heard of the power of bloodline before.
Although various mysterious forces roam the island world, they don't seem to have made any special modifications to human bloodlines.
The most powerful island lords are pure-blooded humans; there's no record of them having any strange bloodlines.
Lin Xu had heard about the matter of power before.
The reason why nobles can monopolize resources and arbitrarily exploit commoners is because they control a portion of the island world's power and possess certain peculiar privileges.
Looking at the function of this golden robe now, it seems that it is also related to this kind of power and authority?
Lin Xu wasn't very interested in bloodline power; even if he could obtain it, he would only use it for research.
But he was extremely eager for power.
Only by possessing power over the island world can one truly gain the opportunity to confront the nobles and prevent their foundation from being easily destroyed by various strange privileges.
Lin Xu looked at the golden robe in his hand, his eyes flashing repeatedly.
This exploration of the ruins yielded even more fruitful results than expected.
He really wanted to test Chen Shaojie and his group about the silk robe and the golden ruins.
However, the gold-threaded garment is clearly exceptionally precious.
With Chen Shaojie's background as a minor nobleman, does he really have the power to orchestrate all this?
