It was a planet filled with red river valleys.
Xia Fei was led by this warrior to an inconspicuous cave in the river valley. He walked in through the entrance, and the interior suddenly became spacious.
"Evidently, someone lives here. The entire cave has been modified, with lights, air conditioning, and other advanced equipment installed. From the energy reaction, this should be Feng Jianbo's residence. There are still some remnants of the Feng Family's unique energy aura." Fuchen nodded and said.
To prevent any accidents, Xia Fei told everyone to wait outside while he, Fuchen, and Black Orchid entered.
This place was like the residence of a hermit. The conditions were not luxurious, but it was quite well-equipped.
There were many hermits in the Alpha Universe. This was because high-rank warriors were immortal, and it was inevitable that they would get bored after living for too long. Besides, having a few faces in a family was not conducive to the family's prosperity. Thus, those high-rank warriors who had the foresight would retire when they reached a certain age, going to a place far away from human habitation to cultivate wholeheartedly.
Hermits were the wealth of a family. If a war were to break out, these old fairies who lived in seclusion were all experts who could take on a hundred men. If they were to gather together, it would be a deadly force. The major clans rarely went to war because they were wary of the enemy's hermits. It had been too long, and who knew how many hermits the enemy had buried. If all these old fairies were to be lured out, another catastrophe would be unavoidable. Thus, the major clans were rather restrained, and those old fairies who lived in seclusion would not show themselves, preserving their strength in secret.
"A place where he lives in seclusion? No matter what, Feng Jianbo isn't at the age where he should live in seclusion, right? "Fuchen furrowed his brows.
Black Orchid smiled. "Even you haven't gone into seclusion yet, not to mention how old Feng Jianbo is. The messenger said that this might be where the Feng Family cultivates, and I think it makes sense. Let's take a closer look."
The three of them split up. Xia Fei had ocular abilities and was also a speed type, so he took the lead.
"Hey, there are some very interesting carvings here," Xia Fei shouted from the depths of the cave.
Fuchen and Black Orchid quickly arrived at the scene and saw that it was a fork in the cave. At this point, many ancient murals began to appear on the walls on both sides. Many of the murals had already fallen off. It looked like they were works from a very long time ago.
"These pictures tell a story. Look, this is a poacher hunting exotic beasts. He accidentally discovered a very strange beast and chased it all the way into a cave. In the end, he accidentally discovered an ancient inheritance in the cave. Thus, this poacher transformed into a first-class warrior."
Xia Fei observed as he tried to decipher the story recorded in the drawings.
"This former poacher has obviously succeeded. He has become a very powerful expert, married a wife, had children, and had his own clan. As the clan expanded, troubles came one after another. Although this warrior and his clansmen are very powerful, it is difficult for them to be recognized by the other major forces. Because they have no history, they are considered to be nouveau riche."
"Later on, war broke out, and this former poacher thought of a brilliant idea. He didn't rely on the major forces but chose the weaker side. At that time, this force was on the verge of extinction. Because of his participation, this force was finally revived, and he and his clansmen became famous in the universe in a single battle."
"Later on, this founding ancestor of the clan was severely injured. Before he died, he set a rule that all the direct descendants of the clan must go to the cave where the inheritance was found when they were young. Like their ancestors, they must face the wall and cultivate for three years before they can return to the clan …"
At this point, everyone understood. Was this not the founding history of the Fufeng Clan? It was just that no one could have imagined that the great Fufeng Clan had actually originated from the accidental discovery of their clan's poacher ancestor.
"No wonder the Fufeng Clan suddenly rose to prominence without any historical records. It turns out that their clan has such a history." Black Orchid nodded and said in a deep voice.
At this time, they had already reached the end of the cave. The decorations here were rather shabby. There were a few mats woven from weeds, and the four walls were completely empty.
Fuchen was somewhat disappointed as he said, "It seems that this is the place where the Feng ancestor found the inheritance. Feng Jianbo also followed tradition and secluded himself here to cultivate. In the end, your arrival took that fellow's life. Right now, the Feng Clan probably doesn't even know about it. It's a pity that there's nothing of value here. It's just a place for cultivation. It's not worth it to deepen the enmity with the Feng Clan because of this."
Xia Fei smiled disapprovingly, the corner of his lips curling into a habitual smile.
"First, I killed that Feng fellow because he was an enemy, and enemies must die. Second, I obtained a very strange exotic beast and something on the ceiling, "Xia Fei said plainly.
"Ceiling?!"
"What's on the ceiling?"
Fuchen and Black Orchid hurriedly raised their heads and saw that there was a mysterious carving at the very top of the room. It looked like a star chart.
Because a human's eyes were looking straight ahead, the easiest place to have a blind spot was not the front, back, left, or right, but directly above! It was such an obvious carving, yet Fuchen and Black Orchid had failed to notice it.
"Wha … What is this?!" Black Orchid was shocked.
…
The Silver Soul set sail again, and this strange carving of a star chart appeared in the command deck. In for a penny, in for a pound, in for a pound, in for a pound, Xia Fei might as well cut down the entire stone wall on the ceiling and bring it to his warship.
"Strange. When we were looking at the star chart in that cave, it didn't look like this. It's not mysterious at all now. It's just like a normal flat star chart." Black Orchid furrowed her brows as she said this.
Xia Fei thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Come and help me."
Very soon, this mysterious star chart was moved to the top of the command deck and temporarily fixed to the ceiling with alloy bolts. People could only raise their heads to look at it.
"That's amazing! It turns out that this star chart can only be looked up and has no effect on the ground. What's the principle behind this? "Black Orchid exclaimed once more. This stone wall had already given her too many surprises and mysteries.
It was just a picture, but it actually had a completely different effect from different angles? What was the principle behind this? What was the principle behind this?
The three of them were a little confused, and it was very difficult for them to figure out what was going on.
"I think that the old ancestor of the Feng Family passed down an order for his descendants to cultivate at the place where he made his fortune. Perhaps there's some ulterior motive behind this, and this star chart is where the secret lies," Fuchen said.
Xia Fei nodded. "What you said might make sense. Yuan, compare it to the star chart and see if it's pointing to a certain place in the Alpha Universe. Also, do a carbon-14 test on this stone to determine its age."
Yuan began to operate the AI computer to compare the star chart and perform a carbon test at the same time.
"Comparison complete. In the entire Alpha Universe, there's no known star region that has a similar location to this star chart. Also, there's a problem with the carbon-14 test. This stone slab doesn't have any carbon-14 element at all." Yuan reported the final result.
"The Alpha Universe is huge, and the star chart isn't complete. It's understandable that we can't find the location indicated by the star chart, but this stone slab doesn't contain carbon-14? What's the reason behind this? "Black Orchid curiously asked.
Carbon-14 was an important element in determining the age of an item. As time passed, the carbon-14 element contained in an item would gradually decay, and it wasn't hard to deduce the age based on the degree of decay, but this stone slab didn't have any carbon-14 at all? This was far beyond the current realm of knowledge, and it was incomprehensible.
Fuchen and Black Orchid were both mesmerized, staring at the mysterious star chart above their heads for the entire night. It was as if there was some kind of attraction to the image that was hard to forget.
Perhaps because they were tired, Fuchen and Black Orchid simply laid on the ground with a blanket and chatted as they watched. There was even tea and snacks placed beside them.
Xia Fei was not as carefree as the two of them. This time, he was going to the territory of the Renegade Ghosts, and he was going to start a war with them! There were many things that he needed to prepare early.
Inside the warehouse, Xia Fei began to work on the leather of the Spiritual Horn Elephant Rhinoceros. Before he could use it to create a soul tool, he would first need to go through a dozen strict procedures.
Before he left, Bao Xiuzhu had already prepared everything for Xia Fei. Now, all he needed to do was follow the steps to tan the leather.
The thing that gave Xia Fei the biggest headache was the Colorless Longhorn Beetle. It had a strange transparent skin that was extremely tough. No matter what kind of tool he used, he was unable to peel off that layer of skin. Xia Fei was in an unprecedented predicament.
Xia Fei had tried all the weapons he could use in his spatial ring, but unfortunately, the toughness of this creature's skin was so tough that even the Legendary Divine Sword White Longyin could not do anything to it.
"Let me try. Use the Cursed Blade Nirvana," Radix said in a deep voice.
Xia Fei shook his head. "Nirvana is a devouring type. Even if he can cut open the Colorless Longhorn Beetle, he'll still be sucked into ashes. That'll be terrible."
Radix shrugged. "We can't go on like this. Even White Longyin can't do anything to it. I really can't think of anything that can deal with it."
"I know it's risky, but it doesn't mean that there's no chance. This creature's skin is too special. If I use it to make boxing gloves, it might be the best of the best! It's a pity that I can't use it here. "
Of course, Xia Fei knew that the Colorless Longhorn Beetle's skin was precious, but he still felt that it was inappropriate to use the Cursed Blade Nirvana. Nirvana was indiscriminate and would devour anything it saw.
All of a sudden, Xia Fei had an idea. He touched the carrot-shaped horn on the Colorless Longhorn Beetle's head.
"Everything has its own counter. Perhaps the solution lies in this ugly horn of the Colorless Longhorn Beetle!" Xia Fei was stunned for a moment before he excitedly said.
* Crack! *
With that said, Xia Fei swung the White Longyin in his hand! Without any hesitation, Xia Fei chopped off the pink horn with his saber.
It was very light in his hand, and compared to the Colorless Longhorn Beetle's skin, this horn was rather fragile and could not withstand White Longyin's slash.
The pink horn was somewhat ugly, and it was covered in fine shell-like patterns. It was like a rock that had been soaked in seawater for millions of years and had many parasites on it.
Xia Fei only wanted to give it a try, so he casually used this horn to lightly cut across the Colorless Longhorn Beetle's head.
A miracle happened!
In that instant, the pink horn erupted with a blazing temperature, just like a laser. No, it was even hotter than a laser! It appeared at the very top of the horn!
* Whoosh! *
The Colorless Longhorn Beetle's impenetrable skin was instantly cut open!
