Chapter 1196: Chapter 180 Everyone Can Be a Dragon! (6200)_3
Ian stroked his chin, his eyes filled with doubt: “This chanical structure… is very new.”
“I believe that the civilization of the previous era used semi-chanized Magical Beasts to guard their holand. And the fact that these semi-chanized Magical Beasts went out of control, driving the Humans away from the sanctuary, forcing them to build villages and towns on the first layer… I also believe.”
“But…”
Saying this, Ian raised his hand and picked up a piece of the shredded Magical Beast’s corpse. He carefully examined the Inscription Circuit on it and then shook his head, saying: “The civilization of the previous era used the anti-Spirit Energy coating and stealth circuit, technologies developed only in recent years. This I cannot believe.”
He tossed aside the bug Flesh and Blood, then looked around at everyone, determinedly saying: “The bug may be old, but the chanical structure is definitely new.”
“Indeed. This isn’t normal. This place is a safe area; our advance party has already driven off most of the dangerous creatures… The Demon Bugs included. These chanized Demon Bugs shouldn’t exist; they have appeared only in the last one or two weeks!”
Anfa felt a bit uneasy, although the strength of this semi-chanized centipede was really not strong. Even with the defense of the chanical structure, it barely reached the First Energy Level. Without the anti-Spirit Energy coating, it couldn’t even ambush Sio.
But its existence itself indicated that the ruins had changed: “Last ti I didn’t stay long on the second layer, and didn’t encounter enemies on the third, so I’m not very sure… But if the Exotic Species Research Institute still has the capability to create such chanical Magical Beasts…”
“Then, the environnt inside the Labyrinth is definitely more dangerous than we imagined!” Her expression turned solemn.
“We’ll deal with whatever cos our way.”
Ian’s expression remained unchanged, and he didn’t continue speculating. He signaled everyone to move onward: “If there’s nothing unexpected, other Exploration Teams probably also encountered such monsters… Interesting, this sneaky ambush by semi-chanized Magical Beasts, if slightly stronger, clearly sufficient to injure those at the Second Power Level, yet it’s using such weak Demon Bugs for ambushing, seemingly just a test and a warning.”
The youth’s words made Anfa thoughtful. Ian continued calmly: “It seems this ruin wants to select not only Dragon Blood… but also requires strong spirit and sharp reflexes. Interesting, what exactly is it selecting?”
——That expensive anti-Spirit Energy coating yields little effect. It’s selecting soone who can perceive monsters and traps without needing Spirit Energy… The answer is clear, it has to be the Silver Chip.
The plan to select targets starts from the minutest detail… Even Ian had to praise the ticulousness of the one behind it, but that person miscalculated one thing.
And that is, Ian is still a Prophet. He can sense various anomalies even without the Silver Chip.
“Selecting… what?”
Everyone followed Ian, Anfa still pondering, and Yisen Gard also proactively began attempting to find hidden Magical Beasts using the high life perception of the Eclipsing Light Refining Dragon.
As for Sio, she remained indifferent, but this ti, if soone with Spirit Energy vision were present, they would see a faint dragon shadow appearing behind the pretty-faced girl, covering the surroundings, conducting broad-area probing.
No traps or Magical Beasts can ambush Ian’s focused team, and indeed this second layer ‘Twilight Sanctuary’ is rife with deadly traps and vicious beasts.
So are ancient mines from the previous era’s civilization, possibly laid to counter out-of-control experintal Magical Beasts, and who knows why they can still function over a thousand years later. The expiration itself is mythically strong, and their power is as terrifying as Alchemic Cannonballs.
Yet in front of Ian, all these mines are dismantled before they detonate, as their control centers are disrupted by strong magnetic fields.
So are various chanical insect-type Magical Beasts, hidden in the dark corners of rooms and ruins, which launch fierce attacks as soon as soone approaches, neglecting the awareness of strength.
But these beasts can’t even get past Anfa’s sword; Yisen Gard can manipulate Fla Flow to roast them into pieces of iron-plated bug at.
The interior structures of the ruins form a large and trendously complex grid layout, filled with various broken and collapsed buildings, which transform the place into an artificial Labyrinth. The originally solid rock floor is full of gaps and pits, and nobody knows which buildings that appear identical hold treasures to be uncovered and which conceal dreadful monsters and traps.
But under Ian’s Guidance, the team seems to stroll leisurely through the ruins like walking in a park, occasionally finding so fairly intact chanicals from the civilization of the previous era, like miniaturized air-conditioning units, so kind of abandoned storage facility crystal discs, and so mysterious objects Ian couldn’t imdiately determine without the Silver Chip.
It’s not that Ian isn’t capable, but anyone would struggle to understand what each palm-sized ‘compression capsule’ reveals upon decompression… He can guess these heavy yet inconspicuous compression devices should be so kind of simple foundational construction equipnt, possibly to aid sanctuary residents in survival outside, but precisely what they are, can only be distinguished after decompression.
“This compression technology is really worth learning. Unfortunately, it probably requires an entire technical chain. Even if I analyze it with the Silver Chip later, I’d at most get the finished product; the preceding processes have to be reverse-engineered slowly.”
