As a person who didn't even like to drink too much rice brew, how could Zhang Tie let go of such a giant's skeleton which was worth over 1 million gold coins? If he let it go, he would never forgive himself. No matter how rich he was, he would never waste it like this.
Therefore, after taking a quick look around, Zhang Tie found that nobody was paying attention to this place and it was in the shadow of the woods. Therefore, he started to dig out the complete skeleton of the giant which was longer than 20 m from the soft soil at the fastest speed.
It was the skeleton of the giant. Although it was mostly covered by the soil, as long as the layer of soil was dug up, the white luster of the skeleton could be seen.
The texture of the giant's bones was very fine, like pure white marble. As long as one scraped off the dirt on the bones, one could see a faint metallic luster.
Zhang Tie moved so fast that his efficiency was almost as high as that of a steam excavator. However, it still took him two hours to dig out the entire skeleton.
Watching the complete skeleton of the giant lying in the huge pit, Zhang Tie became shocked inside. Even though lying down, this giant's skeleton was almost as high as Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie really couldn't imagine how powerful such a person was. If he could cultivate, he would be more terrifying.
According to legends, humans and giants lived in the same age. Giants were also a branch of humans. There were many stories about giants in Chinese legends.
During the Primordial Era. When the river was flooding, the Great Emperor of the Hua Clan led hundreds of clans to control the flood. Among his subordinates, there was a couple of giants called Pu Fu. Although the giant couple was ordered to control the flood, they were lazy and didn't work hard. Therefore, they were punished by the Great Emperor of the Hua Race and didn't have to do anything every day. They were made to stand there, unable to move or eat. They could only drink dew until the water in the river turned clear. The "gentle physical punishment" of the Hua emperor finally made the giant couple yield and start to work honestly …
Later on. Another Chinese Great Emperor was born. At that time, twelve giants appeared on the banks of the Tao River. The Great Emperor was delighted and thought that it was an auspicious sign. He specially cast twelve golden men to represent them.
Later on, two more giants played important roles in the history of Hua people.
One of them was called Weng Zhong. After surrendering to Hua people, he became a general of Hua people. He assisted Hua people to conquer foreign races and became famous across the world. Because of his valiant battle prowess, Hua people made a statue of him in order to commemorate him. Until now, the name Weng Zhong always referred to a huge bronze statue or stone statue in many places in Hua people.
The second giant who left his name in the history of Hua people was called Wu Ba. In history, this giant assisted an ambitious Hua man called Wang Mang to usurp the throne. He was the most powerful general of that ambitious Hua man. Because of his huge figure, everyone used to add the word "giant" in front of his name so as to symbolize his status as a giant. Today, everyone in Hua people would call him "giant" which originated from the giant Wu Ba in history.
There was a deep relationship between giants and Hua people.
...
After recalling those Hua stories about giants, Zhang Tie put his hand on the giant's huge skull and injected his spiritual energy into it. Closely after that, he teleported the entire giant's skeleton into Castle of Black Iron.
After getting 1 million gold coins, Zhang Tie felt pretty good. After filling up the huge pit left by the giant's skeleton, he cleaned up all the traces. After that, he returned to Castle of Black Iron and had the incarnation of the little black beetle fly out to explore this place.
After incarnating into the little beetle and applying a senior hiding skill, Zhang Tie directly flew 100 m high and started to fly along the coastline of this space.
The thunder hawk could fly higher and faster; however, if an animal appeared on the ground in this underground space, it would be too eye-catching. If he met that demon knight, the others would know that something was wrong. Therefore, Zhang Tie preferred this little black beetle. Although this little beetle could not match the thunder hawk in speed, it was also very fast.
This land in the underground sea seemed to be a huge island. There were mountain ranges on the island. The entire island seemed to cover tens of thousands of square miles. After flying around for over 2 hours, Zhang Tie found that he was just in a small corner of this island.
When Zhang Tie wanted to take a look at the island, he saw a shadow flying over 500 m above the head of the little beetle.
Zhang Tie's heart raced as he realized that it was the demon knight. It seemed that it had fallen into this place from another hole.
While flying in the sky, the demon knight gazed at the ground and was also looking for Zhang Tie's trace.
Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside, 'Thankfully, I've changed an incarnation; otherwise, I might really be caught by this demon knight.' However, Zhang Tie knew that this demon knight was not sure whether it had been washed here or not. Because the underground water network was very complex, it might be washed to other places.
At this moment, the enemy was in the dark while Zhang Tie was in the light. It was a good opportunity for Zhang Tie.
A wisp of hope rose in Zhang Tie's heart once again. Zhang Tie's little beetle was dozens of m above the ground, which was about 1 mile away from the demon knight.
As the demon knight was looking for Zhang Tie's trace on the ground, it didn't fly too fast, which was just enough for Zhang Tie's little beetle to keep up with it.
After another 4-5 hours, the demon knight didn't find any trace of Zhang Tie on the seashore or in the ocean. Therefore, the demon knight seemed to have lost its hope. It turned around and flew towards the 5-6,000 m high mountain range on the edge of this island.
Zhang Tie closely followed it. When the demon knight flew over the mountain range, it seemed to be unsteady in the air as it almost fell off. After stabilizing itself, it instantly rushed towards afar at a speed that was many times faster than that just now.
Watching the demon knight disappearing behind the mountain range, Zhang Tie became stunned for a second before hurriedly rushing over there.
…
When he flew over that mountain range, Zhang Tie finally knew why that knight almost fell off the sky just now. Because even though he was the knight, he didn't know why he almost fell off here just now. At the sight of that thing in the distance, Zhang Tie's heart raced as he realized that it was the incarnation of the little beetle. Therefore, he forgot to flap his wings and almost fell off the sky too.
Right in the middle of this island, on a plain behind this mountain range in the distance. A majestic and suffocating pyramid was standing there.
It was a very huge pyramid. The entire pyramid was almost 2,000 m in height. It was like a mountain protruding out of the ground instead of a building. If one didn't climb over this mountain, one could never see such a pyramid on this island.
The pyramid was completely made of crystals. Even from dozens of miles away, Zhang Tie could still see the color and texture of crystals on the pyramid.
It was a huge pyramid made entirely of crystal. Such a pyramid, in this era. Even if all the human countries across Blackson Humans Corridor joined hands with each other, they could not build such a pyramid. This pyramid had completely surpassed the limit that humans could reach in this age.
A term that Zhang Tie had heard before flashed across his mind like a lightning bolt — — the relics of prehistoric civilization.
There was actually such a miraculous prehistoric civilization relic in this underground space.
After being stunned for a second, Zhang Tie hurriedly flew towards that pyramid.
Compared to Zhang Tie, the demon knight almost exerted all its strength. Even Zhang Tie was amazed by its speed towards the pyramid. That was too fast.
...
When he was 20 miles away from the pyramid, Zhang Tie had sensed the powerful energy of heaven and earth in the space. If he cultivated in such an environment, he would polish his surging points much faster.
The closer he was to the pyramid, the more obvious the energy field of the huge crystal pyramid would be. With the effect of the obvious energy field, the vegetation near the pyramid was almost two times more luxuriant than that in other places. Those banana tree-like huge trees and those fungi on the ground were extremely huge. Those trees could easily reach 200-300 m high while those fungi were like pavilions on the ground.
Besides these vegetation, there were also more animals here. It seemed that even those animals had sensed the uniqueness of this place...
With a loud sound, Zhang Tie saw some huge weird birds whose wingspans were higher than 3 m being blown into pieces by the demon knight in front of him and falling off the sky.
All the animals here seemed to have gotten used to the long period of tranquility. Such a loud noise immediately startled the animals below and caused them to scatter in all directions. Large flocks of colorful birds flew up from the forest below and fled into the distance in panic. There were also some small animals fleeing in all directions in the two-meter-tall grass on the ground.
At the sight of those small animals, Zhang Tie had understood that there were no powerful animals or mutated beasts here. If there were, those small animals would not gather here in such a large number.
The most powerful ones here might be the unknown weird birds. It seemed that they felt that the demon knight had violated their airspace and wanted to ask for an explanation. Pitifully, they killed that guy in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Before Zhang Tie arrived at the foot of the pyramid, he had heard the demon knight's extremely arrogant laughter.
"Ha … ha … ha … Demon God … this is the legendary tower of time … this is the tower of time. I've not imagined that there's a tower of time underground … everything in this tower of time belongs to me … all of them belong to me …"
When Zhang Tie approached it, he found that the entire pyramid was not made of crystals at all; instead, the entire pyramid was a piece of super huge black crystal. Inside the crystal, there were some complex runes which made the crystal look bizarre...
Zhang Tie was so shocked that he almost became numb...
There were also two giants' skeletons at the foot of the stairs leading to the entrance of the pyramid.
The two giants' skeletons were well-preserved. Giving out a metallic luster, they were sitting on two huge crystal chairs at the foot of the stairs in an extremely dignified way like two majestic gate gods. Each giant was holding a terrifying battle sword which was higher than 10 m which was inserted into the ground like two huge pillars. At the sight of the battle swords, Zhang Tie had known that they were at least tons.
If not that demon knight, Zhang Tie might have stopped to take a look at them. The reason for that was because all of this was simply too shocking.
"Open..." The demon knight roared in the middle of the pyramid.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whoever enters it first will get this opportunity. Don't let that demon knight enter it... "
At this moment, Heller, who was usually silent, warned Zhang Tie.
After flying over there, Zhang Tie saw the demon knight tightly blocking a 40-m high crystal gate leading to the pyramid. It was trying to push open the gate forcefully.
How powerful a knight was! However, no matter how hard that knight exerted his full efforts, he could only open a crack of the gate. At the same time, a milky white light with powerful energy leaked out of the crack. It seemed that there was another marvelous world behind the gate...
Watching the gate being slightly opened, the demon knight roared out of excitement as it continued to exert its full efforts...
The crack gradually expanded. Being pushed by the demon knight, it gradually expanded. It became two strands, three strands … Slowly, he was able to insert a finger, two fingers …
The demon knight almost roared out of excitement...
Then...
Before the demon knight made any response, the little beetle had flown in through the crack of the gate which was about 2 fingers' width...
The gate which could be pushed suddenly became heavy. Closely after that, it became still. No matter how hard it tried, it could not push it open anymore. The demon knight became flurried. Closely after that, the crack of the gate which was about 2 fingers' width gradually closed once again. It could not be pushed anymore as if it was a joke.
'What happened? '
The demon knight's flurried turned into fury; the fury finally turned into despair; the despair finally turned into resentment like that of an aggrieved wife.
With a roar, the demon knight exerted its full efforts to hit the gate.
The demon knight's strike was like how a mosquito wanted to push down a huge tree. It didn't even arouse any dust...
"No..." An extremely shrill shriek drifted from outside the pyramid.
At this moment, the demon knight was like a beggar who spent all his efforts to buy a lottery ticket. After the lottery, the beggar found that he could win 10 million gold coins. When the beggar went to exchange for the lottery ticket, he dreamed about a good life like an emperor. However, those people who exchanged for the lottery ticket told him solemnly that the lottery ticket was invalid because the computer of the lottery center was attacked by a hacker last night and the winning number was temporarily changed by the hacker. After hearing this news, the demon knight felt the same.
'Nothing is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is to lose something when you are about to get it. '
...
Watching the huge crystal gate being closed once again, Zhang Tie had the little black beetle return to Castle of Black Iron. He then walked out of Castle of Black Iron.
In front of him was a long and deep crystal tunnel. The abundant energy in the tunnel made Zhang Tie feel comfortable all over as each of his pores opened.
Walking in the tunnel, Zhang Tie looked around. There was no gap on the four sides of the tunnel; instead, it was full of crystal lights and flowing runes. Zhang Tie's shadow was reflected on all four sides of the tunnel. Zhang Tie felt like walking in a kaleidoscope.
Zhang Tie chatted with Heller as he walked.
"Heller, will that guy break in again?" Zhang Tie turned around and threw a glance at Heller.
"No, this place could only accommodate one person at a time. Additionally, that person is not able to destroy this place."
"How do you know that?"
Heller's faint laughter drifted from Zhang Tie's mind sea, which was his answer. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't ask this question anymore; instead, he suddenly recalled another question.
"Oh, I heard that demon knight say that this is a tower of time. What's a tower of time?"
Heller became silent for a short while in Zhang Tie's mind sea, "In a far-ancient age, this place was the cultivation place for powerhouses of various clans. Castle Lord, you should have heard an old saying that has been spread among humans for thousands of years — — humans are afraid of time; however, time is afraid of pyramids!"
"Ahh, I've indeed heard this saying in Blackhot City. Does it have anything to do with this pyramid?"
"It was because of this pyramid that the saying spread!"
"What do you mean?"
"Castle Lord, you will know it when you leave here. There's a time barrier in front of you. The great time and space torsion from that barrier will cut off all the connections between me and Castle of Black Iron. However, don't worry, Castle Lord. When you come out, everything will recover to normal. Enjoy your time inside!"
