Chapter 273: The Educational Beast Papu
Happily after absorbing the thoughts of death on the stone gate, he has gained a lot.
But for Moreau, the unopened ruins are equivalent to a blind box full of unknowns.
If you are lucky, you may be able to get some more growth ring energy.
Morrow originally wanted to ask Jin directly to see if there were any other ruins or tombs attached to thoughts of death.
But then I thought about it, anyway, we have to live together for at least a year in the future. There are many opportunities, so there is no need to rush.
Time passes slowly.
While waiting for his colleagues to come down, Jin was not idle.
He first went to the circular stone door and used a circle to detect it. After confirming that there was no trap, he returned to the cave entrance and asked Moreau for more specific information about the "Starlight Condensation".
In this regard, Moreau gave a very detailed answer, and even stated the various ideas when developing this ability. It can be said that he knew everything.
After all, in his opinion, since Jin took the initiative to ask these questions, it showed that he attached great importance to the one-year sparring agreement.
Then he must cooperate without reservation.
This matter is related to whether he can break through the limit of talent and get a chance to climb the peak of the new world.
In fact, Jin did attach great importance to this agreement.
This is not only because he attaches great importance to the spirit of the contract, but also because he has the expectation to complete the "agreement" in advance.
If it can be completed early, a lot of valuable time can be squeezed out.
If it doesn't work, he will not waste Moreau's ability to eliminate thoughts in this year.
Simply put, time is extremely precious and he can’t wait to use it.
On this point, Moreau actually agrees with King.
It was only a year before he had the idea of inviting Bisij over.
More accurately, I asked Miss Cookie to help.
This way, Jin's sleeping time can be greatly reduced, and the one-year period can be extended at least three times.
It can be said that both parties want to make the other party into a cow and a horse in order to maximize the value of their talents.
After a long time.
Relic excavation workers wearing diving suits came to the cave one after another.
They took off their diving equipment, their faces full of excitement.
"After more than half a year of preparation, I can finally find out!"
"Quickly, bring the lighting equipment and testing instruments."
"Why are you in a hurry, change your diving suit first."
With the arrival of the staff, the cave, which was originally quiet and could hear the needle drop, suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market.
Jin, who had made preparations for the excavation in advance, smiled and looked at these like-minded colleagues.
The feeling of opening up the dusty history will never change no matter how many times I experience it.
Compared to the enthusiastic excavation workers in the cave, Moreau stood in the corner, more like an outsider.
His eyes passed over the excited expressions of these staff members, and then looked at Jin who was smiling.
At this moment,
The powerful man known as one of the five great minds in the world seems to be just an ordinary person among all living beings.
This should be the special thing about gold.
Morrow thought in his heart.
「隆重介绍一下，这位是刚加入我们团队的技术顾问，莫罗，这次能顺利打开遗迹入口，全靠他的专业能力。」
当同事们都更换好装备之后，金这才郑重的介绍起莫罗。
After hearing Jin's words, everyone present couldn't help but look at Moreau, and immediately gathered around to extend the warmest welcome.
Morrow smiled and talked with them, gradually remembering everyone's name.
After exchanging names, under the leadership of Jin, everyone walked along the cave passage to the end, and finally pushed open the circular stone door.
Rumble.
With the sound of the heavy stone door moving, the stone door resembling a Tai Chi pattern retreated to both sides, slowly embedded into the rock wall.
Behind the stone gate, there is an upward stone staircase passage.
Looking up towards the end of the passage, you can see a flash of red light.
It seemed that there was an unknown light source in the space on the other side of the passage.
Everyone put on gas masks and tested the air conditions with instruments, and then walked into the stone staircase passage in an orderly manner.
Jin walked in the front.
With his strength and ability, he can deal with potential threats as soon as possible and protect the entire team.
Morrow was in the second position, looking at the "circle|circle|'s gold" being released in front of him.
Judging from the "circle" that spreads to the front, it has a radius of at least one hundred meters.
However, he noticed that Jin's reaction was particularly relaxed. I am afraid that a circle with a radius of one hundred meters is far from Jin's limit.
Soon, everyone came to the end of the passage.
Beyond the exit of the passage is a flat stone platform that extends to a huge arch.
The arch is made of massive boulders, with complex relief patterns engraved on the surface, but there are many roots wrapped around the reliefs, blocking most of the patterns.
The vault of the arch is in the shape of a pointed arc, and the edges are inlaid with strips of bronze trim, vaguely revealing the traces of time.
Just seeing this giant arch, everyone's attention was immediately attracted. On the platform outside the quiet passage, the only sound was the breathing coming from the protective cover.
This was the first time for Moreau to explore the ruins of an underground palace of this size. He moved his eyes away from the arch entangled with many roots and looked at other locations.
This is a huge stone platform, but slender and dense roots can be seen everywhere.
Looking through the arch, you can see a majestic palace shrouded in red light in the depths.
Around the palace, there are statues of soldiers holding ancient cold weapons neatly arranged.
But the face of each soldier statue is smooth, without any trace of facial features carving.
Morrow's eyes were full of curiosity. He suddenly raised his head and looked above the underground palace following the red light source.
What caught the eye was countless unknown roots, hanging down from the top of the underground palace for a distance like a blood-colored bead curtain, hanging densely in mid-air.
The ends of many of the roots are tied to a dry miniature human body, the limbs shriveled like a dried mummy.
However, in strange contrast to those shrunken bodies, is the swollen and deformed head.
Each head seemed to have been filled with water, swelling more than ten times, so that the skin was almost transparent, making it difficult to distinguish the existence of the five senses.
The surface of the head is covered with thick knotted roots, like protruding veins at the temples, exuding a ferocious aura.
The red light that fills the entire underground palace penetrates from the inside of these translucent heads.
Seeing this scene, Moreau's pupils shrank slightly, a little surprised.
Corpse?
Wrong.
Morrow subconsciously focused his thoughts on his eyes and used the technique of condensation.
As the thought energy condenses on the eyes like a torch, one can see that the human body tied to the ends of the roots actually has a weak layer of thought energy, floating slowly with a stable breathing rate.
"These people are still alive——!
After realizing this, a chill ran down Morrow's back.
In the eyes of those with telekinesis ability, even without using condensation, one can see the natural flow of life energy in ordinary people.
Morrow used this phenomenon to immediately identify the lurking snipers when he attacked the Ten Old Man gang troops.
However, the life energy emitted by these strange human bodies hanging on the roof of the underground palace is so weak that it requires "condensation" to see clearly.
But it just so happens that such a weak life energy has an intuitive vitality.
Jin Ziran also noticed the weak life energy in these human bodies, and a strong light of curiosity suddenly emerged in his eyes.
As for the other excavation workers at the site who do not have cognitive abilities, although they have seen many strange things in different ruins tombs.
But when he saw the strange-looking bodies, he was still frightened and turned slightly pale.
They who don't know how to read can't see the weak life energy on the human body at all. They just rely on common sense and directly define these human bodies as household bodies.
“What a weird corpse.”
A middle-aged staff member suddenly spoke up.
After a brief silence, another person said in a trembling voice: "Judging from the appearance of the arch, this is indeed the ruins of the underground palace of the Akashal Kingdom, but there is no such record in the existing relevant documents."
"This underground palace is very much like the resting place of the royal family."
Some people were a little calmer and said: "And those corpses, maybe they are a unique burial method of the Akashal royal family?"
"Impossible."
The only female archaeologist in the team stared at the roots tied to the weird head and said solemnly: "These plant tissues are obviously formed by late growth. Look at the connection between the head and the roots, there are obvious traces of vine-like growth."
After the initial shock and fear, everyone gradually calmed down.
The historical documents about the Akashal Kingdom they had could not explain the strange scene in front of them.
They could only look at the backbone of the team.
Facing the inquiring glances of his colleagues, Jin did not make arrangements immediately, but looked at the majestic palace in the distance.
There is the breath of thoughts of death in it.
And it has formed an ability connection with the human bodies above.
Thinking of this, Jin turned his head and looked at Moreau beside him.
"Have you felt it?"
"Hmm."
Moreau turned his eyes and looked at the palace. The surprise in his eyes gradually faded away, and he said calmly: "There is an aura of 'death thoughts'. Although the intensity is not as strong as the thought of death on the stone gate, it is more threatening."
"Yes, it seems that we still have to take it slow."
Even if Jin doesn't know how to eliminate thoughts, he can rely on his keen perception to reach a judgment similar to Moreau's.
The thought of death can take many forms.
Especially in ancient ruins, the thoughts of death are even more diverse.
The most common ones are the thoughts of death attached to ancient objects in ruins and tombs. They usually do not pose a threat, and due to their intensity, they will slowly disappear over time.
There are also some common resentments in tombs and mausoleums, which basically originate from the people who were buried or the craftsmen in charge of the tombs and mausoleums.
This type of thoughts after death, when accumulated into large amounts, will form an energy that can control the remains of the household.
It's just that as the body weathers and collapses, this thought of death will slowly disappear.
The other thing is the kind of thoughts after death that are attached to ruins or entrances to tombs, or even sealed thoughts after death that can wrap around every corner.
The existence of these thoughts after death is to protect the ruins and tombs from intrusion by others.
Finally, there are thoughts after death that are full of various destructive mechanisms and will attack intruders indiscriminately.
This type of thoughts after death are usually highly aggressive.
Based on this, even if there is no direct contact, those with the ability to read can still tell the lack of breath from the overflowing breath.
The aura of thoughts of death remaining in the palace at this moment exudes a cold and aggressive killing intent.
Hence, it is obviously impossible to start excavation of the ruins of this underground palace until this thought of the afterlife is completely resolved.
"You guys exit first."
Jin's eyes turned and looked at his colleagues.
Having worked together for a long time, in this case, without too many explanations, everyone knew that there were still some fatal risks hidden in the underground palace.
Normally in this situation, they wait for the money to eliminate the risks before officially starting work.
"Jin, Moreau, pay attention to safety."
"Let's go, you can study the reliefs on the stone door first."
"Then let's go out first."
After Jin sent him off, colleagues returned to the passage one after another.
After his colleagues left, Jin once again looked at the human bodies on the top that were suspected of being the living dead, and suddenly asked:
"Morrow, do you know the Dark Continent?"
"Know some."
Moreau said calmly.
In fact, he basically knows all the information about the Dark Continent that has appeared in the original works.
Jin did not expect that Morrow, at such a young age, would actually know about the taboo dark continent.
For a moment, he looked at Moreau with a hint of surprise, and asked tentatively: "Then how much do you know about the Dark Continent?"
"Jin, I have read the book "New World Chronicles: East."
Moreau answered the question incorrectly.
But this time, a bright light flashed through Jin's tired eyes.
Humanity's understanding of the Dark Continent basically comes from the book "Journey to the New World - East".
This book published hundreds of years ago has now become a book of illusions.
In Jin's opinion, since Moreau has read this book, it means that there is a high probability that he is also interested in the Dark Continent.
At this moment, there is no future blueprint for exploring the dark continent, and Moreau's position has been established.
There was a smile on Jin's face, he raised his finger and pointed at the many human bodies with life at the top and tail, and asked: "Do you think Pappu, the nurturing beast of the five great disasters, looks like him?"
"Listen to what you say——"
Morrow thought for a moment, and no relevant information about the human-nurturing beast Pap came to mind.
It is one of the five major disasters known to mankind from the Dark Continent, possessing the ability of approximately equivalent exchange.
The miniature human bodies on the roof of the underground palace are indeed very similar to the humans controlled by Palu, but "
"Some features are quite similar, except for the head."
"Hmm."
Jin nodded. He can only say that there are some similarities, but he is not sure that they are related to the Yuman Beast.
Morrow thought for a while and suggested: "Would you like to try attacking? If you think those are still alive, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Jin was silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally accepted Moreau's suggestion.
Actually, even if Moreau didn't say anything, he would do this in order to eliminate risks.
“Let me do it.”
Morrow volunteered.
Jin Yi glanced at him and had no objection.
Morrow immediately condensed a thought bomb on his fingertips.
Phew!
The thought bullet split through the air and killed a living dead.
Just a soft popping sound was heard, and the huge head suddenly exploded.
The next moment.
There was a wisp of black smoke and deathly air flying out from Wu, heading straight towards Moreau.
When Jin saw this, he immediately stood in front of Moreau.
"It's okay, you don't have to block it for me."
Moreau dodged and raised his hand to roll the wisp of black smoke into the annual ring.
Let me go for it——
Isn’t this just a buffet? !
