Chapter 476 I Really Can’t Open It
"Back off..." Costat said in a deep voice.
Even without his reminder, everyone had retreated a long distance, and at the same time, their skin pores were closed, appearing quite solemn.
On the remains of the Yuan clan's life form, there was no flesh, blood or bones left, only the gray-white mist that kept steaming, circling around and eventually dissipating.
No one knows what these things are, and no one dares to touch them easily.
"Dead..." Everyone was shocked and confused.
This incident happened extremely suddenly and without any signs, which is really strange.
Looking at his painful and twisted appearance, it doesn't seem like suicide.
He actually died?
Li Ming was also surprised. Could it be related to the Eternal Abyss Power that he extracted from his body?
That's right, he not only extracted the genetic essence from the other party, but also another unknown energy during the absorption process, which was the power of the Eternal Abyss.
But what surprised him was that the power of the Eternal Abyss was still incomplete.
Could it be that this thing is at the level of the ultimate life form?
"There's no such thing as a contaminated area?" Kostarte's eyes were filled with confusion. "This is a record from the Terrax civilization, so there shouldn't be any mistakes."
"Don't say such specious things. Your Highness, just tell us what you know." Claude couldn't help but emphasize.
"After the death of the Abyss, an area that erodes the universe will be formed, causing great damage to any physical matter," Dius added.
Various methods are being used to observe the area where the Yuan people died, but no abnormalities have been found.
She even intercepted a wisp of the gray-white mist and boldly held it in her hand to observe it. Then she became more and more surprised: "I can't find any lethality. Even the composition of the material is very basic."
"Could these two be test subjects?" Costat speculated. "Has their ability to leave such a contaminated area been eliminated by the Holy Spirit Civilization?"
Dius objected, "It's unlikely. Based on the information we've learned, it would be extremely difficult for the Terrax civilization to deal with such a contaminated area, and they can't completely destroy it. They can only compress it and then throw it back into the Eternal Abyss."
Compress it?
Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he remembered the source of his first incomplete Eternal Abyss power, which was obtained from a lord-level Titan in the dimensional world.
According to the information obtained by Robin's butler, this kind of thing should be handed over and then destroyed, but the Lord-class Titan was kept as a souvenir.
He had previously thought that it was a relic left behind by the Yuan clan after their death, but it turned out to be a compression method. Li Ming suddenly understood.
The polluted area left behind after the death of the Yuan clan should have been caused by the power of the Eternal Abyss.
It has been absorbed by itself and naturally will not cause any impact anymore.
No one else could interrupt the conversation between the two.
The Empire and the Federation are considered the two oldest civilizations in the known universe. The power of the Cluster Republic Alliance cannot be underestimated, but its foundation is still too limited.
The information and data about the Yuan Clan is obviously not as good as that of the Empire and the Federation.
As for Reynolds and Mikhail, there is no need to mention them.
The two of them were merely the heads of individual organizations, and they only had a fragmentary understanding of Yongyuan and even the Yuan Clan.
The others listened attentively, but in the end, they found that there was no conclusion. Crow couldn't help but frown. "Let's not discuss the contaminated area issue for now. How could he die so suddenly?"
At this point, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Ming, "Aren't you going to explain?"
"Do you think this matter has anything to do with me?" Li Ming still hadn't released his king form, and his burly mechanical body was very oppressive.
"What else? Among us, you are the only one who has been in contact with him the longest." Claude felt very awkward. The one who currently controls this body is obviously Li Ming, a young boy, but now he has the power to suppress him in disguise.
This made him feel a little guilty when he questioned.
"Hehe..." Li Ming naturally wouldn't admit it, "This thing is an X-level life form. How can I get rid of it silently?"
"Then why did he look at you before he died?" Crow asked.
"Isn't it normal that I beat him so hard before?" Li Ming said indifferently: "For example, Lord Crow, I didn't even beat you, but you often secretly spied on me."
At this point, he said calmly, "Besides, even if I killed him, so what? I see you seem to be questioning me. What does this have to do with you..."
Klaue looked annoyed and was about to scold, but the pressure from the Mechanical King came over him, making him snort coldly and weakening his voice.
No one cared. It was obvious that Claude was targeting Li Ming on purpose. They were all used to it.
"Perhaps it was suicide..." Costat speculated, "He might not want to fall into our hands and learn his secrets."
At this moment, a series of strange syllables came from the side, which were very similar to the sounds that occurred when the Yuan clan died.
Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that the sound came from Reynolds' body.
"What are you doing?" Cedric couldn't help but shout.
"I recorded it, can anyone understand it?" Reynolds asked.
"We know very little about the Shadow of the Eternal Abyss, and we originally wanted to use this Abyss tribe member as a breakthrough." Kostat sighed.
Reynolds asked nonchalantly, "Was anyone interested in buying this recording?"
purchase?
Everyone was speechless. With their level of life, even if they didn't understand the meaning, wouldn't it be easy for them to repeat a few syllables?
No one paid any attention to him. Lancaster glanced at the fog around him and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, don't forget, there is still a Yuan tribe member here."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and Lancaster continued, "The Yuan Clan who took the initiative to attack are very powerful, probably not weaker than me."
"After these two guys escaped, they didn't think of leaving immediately, but attacked us instead." Gonzalez said with a hint of meaning:
"Their strength isn't enough to crush us, and they possess considerable intelligence. They must be aware of the extreme danger of attacking us."
He looked at the Mechanical Lord again, "So, what kind of value would make them take such a risk and force their actions?"
Li Ming... Li Ming again...
Everyone had their own thoughts. From the moment they entered the ruins, Li Ming had played an extremely crucial role.
They also understood that Qinglong was not asking him to take risks, but to reap the rewards.
And now, this guy seems to have extremely high value in the eyes of the Yuan clan, but where does his value lie?
Li Ming naturally would not explain and remained silent. It was just a specious guess that could not motivate anyone to take action against him.
It's not like he has no power to resist.
Mikhail, however, looked at the crumbling ruins in the distance and frowned, saying, "Hurry up! The battle just now seems to have disrupted some kind of balance. This ruin is about to be completely destroyed."
Everyone felt a little unlucky because this happened the first time they came in.
I thought this place could become a treasure land for long-term development, but it turned out to be a one-time thing.
Everyone followed Mikhail and changed direction, soaring into the sky. The collapse outside became clearer, not just starting from where they were fighting.
The entire periphery began to collapse inward, and the edges gradually melted away.
Mikhail simply took a quick glance and calculated the remaining time based on the current rate of destruction combined with the entire ruins model. "If we continue at this pace and don't speed up, we still have three months."
"Three months?" People didn't think it was long, but rather short.
"Where is the next place? What kind of situation will we face?" Cedric asked.
"According to our speculation, it should be some kind of laboratory. The problem is that we can't crack the management system." Mikhail said, "Once the management system detects our attempt to force a breakthrough, it will initiate self-annihilation, and nothing will be gained."
"Haha..." Gonzalez couldn't help but sneer. "What a coincidence! I heard Qinglong is best at mechanical intelligence."
"It seems that this is another exclusive stage for His Excellency Qinglong."
Everyone's eyes glanced over at him vaguely, and Li Ming was speechless. The Holy Spirit Civilization was a mechanically evolved race, and their methods were limited to a few aspects.
What is an exclusive stage?
"It's still the same old rule, priority selection?" Costat looked over.
Li Ming was helpless: "I haven't seen the specific situation, so it may not be opened. It's too early to negotiate conditions now."
He does have the ability to turn smart terminals into his own, he just needs to control them, but the problem is that he has to get to the core.
How could he touch the core across the entire laboratory?
"You're asking for a higher price because you see there's not much time left," Crow snorted coldly.
"You can't eat alone." Costat also said in a friendly manner, "Use the means prepared by Qinglong."
"Yeah, Li Ming, stop pretending." Reynolds also joined in the fun.
Mikhail didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his mind how to get that thing away from Li Ming.
"Little brat, it's not good to be too greedy." Dius glanced at him and said lightly.
"I…"
Li Ming became more speechless. Did he really think he could do anything?
He was indeed a little depressed, and he also understood that this was the aftermath of the previous incident.
Everyone felt that Qinglong came prepared.
If he said it couldn't be opened now, these people would definitely suspect that he was planning to have it all to himself again.
He didn't explain too much and decided to wait and see what the situation was.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the laboratory. There were not many traces of fighting here, and the large building in the center still retained its original appearance.
It is just covered by a faint energy barrier, which makes it look very thin.
But Mikhail said: "This energy barrier has an extremely high level of defense. More importantly, it can detect any slight fluctuations and has the ability to block space."
"The management system is unable to communicate and is already on high alert. If you don't have permission, as long as you get within a certain range, it will be directly annihilated."
"How did you know?" Cedric was suspicious. How could you know so much when they couldn't communicate?
"Forge Hammer has already destroyed one," Mikhail said calmly. "However, Forge Hammer estimates that there shouldn't be anything good inside. Probably some prototype or something."
Everyone was silent, their eyes fixed on Li Ming. He had already discarded his royal form and was only wearing his tank uniform.
"No..." Li Ming's helpless voice came out, "I can't get close, there's nothing I can do."
He really had no way to deal with this laboratory, and he couldn't absorb energy.
Everyone obviously didn't believe it, but before they said anything, their eyes changed and they all looked in the same direction.
Fog was swirling behind the side of the laboratory.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, their eyes were full of vigilance, and then turned into astonishment.
A shadow suddenly rushed out. It was the Yuan clan that had escaped before. Its speed was so fast that it was astonishing.
But the opponent's target was not them, and he crashed straight into the energy barrier in front of him.
In an instant, the ground suddenly exploded with a ball of bright yellow light like a small sun, expanding rapidly at an astonishing speed.
Wherever the light reached, everything was dyed golden, and energy fluctuations spread out violently.
The air was heated rapidly, forming waves of scorching heat that surged in all directions. The ground trembled and cracked under the impact of this powerful energy.
Although no harm was caused to anyone, their faces turned ugly.
Heat waves rolled in from all around, and the aftermath of the explosion had not yet completely dissipated. Given everyone's life level, they were naturally not afraid and took action to forcibly calm the energy fluctuations.
There is nothing here anymore. The original location of the laboratory has turned into a big pit, and the ground is cracked and shattered.
"Looking for death." Klaue looked gloomy and gritted his teeth. There were only four places in total. They didn't gain much, and one place was bombed.
Although no one knew what was inside, at this moment, everyone felt that they had suffered a heavy loss.
Except for Li Ming, everyone felt a little relieved at the same time as it was a pity. Everyone suspected that he wanted to have the whole thing to himself, but now that it has been exposed, everyone is happy.
"He's taking revenge on us." Costat said in a deep voice as he looked at the fog that had cleared around him.
Mikhail soared high into the sky and looked into the distance. After landing, his expression became quite solemn. "The explosion just now has accelerated the collapse of the ruins."
"Nothing is left, so there must be nothing good." Cedric looked around and couldn't help but say.
Their idea was very simple. Good things must be very strong. The explosion just now was not that strong.
If there is something precious, it will definitely be kept.
"If we had hurry a little longer, it might have been opened." Crow said with an inexplicable meaning.
Li Ming raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't mention anyone by name, it was obvious that he was calling him on purpose.
"Let's go to the last place." Mikhail interrupted again.
There was something wrong with Mikhail. This was the second time that Li Ming had rescued him. He glanced at this master craftsman.
The others didn't say much. The explosion had already happened, so there was no need to complain about anything, and it was even more impossible to blame Li Ming.
"Hurry up and don't let that thing get ahead of you." Cedric urged.
"Don't worry, the Yuan clan will definitely not be able to destroy the last place." Mikhail was very confident and had already soared into the sky.
Everyone followed closely, asking for specific details.
"I don't have much information to share with you. I don't know why we can't get in." Mikhail shook his head, not intentionally trying to hide anything this time. "We only know that it's a wall, an invisible wall that isolates everything."
