However, on second thought, the possibility was quite high. Otherwise, it would have been unnecessary for Kunlun to appear next to a pulsar.
"The surface of Kunlun was certainly not as rugged as it is right now. It should have been flat and suitable for living and training.
"Kunlun didn't become like this until it suffered an overwhelming crash tens of thousands of years ago."
Professor Mo Xuan went on. "The crash caused a major tear on Kunlun. One side of the point of impact was almost thrown into the sea of stars and turned into an ocean of star scraps around Kunlun. Even the side far away from the point of impact had multiple folds on it, forming the mountains and abysses that we are seeing right now.
"However, as a planetary warship, Kunlun obviously boasted an excellent damage management system. Even though it had been shattered to such an extent, it was still functioning at the minimum level in some sort of 'hibernation state' instead of being completely 'dead'.
"If even the atmosphere and the ecological system on the surface of the planet can be maintained, chances are that there are parts inside Kunlun that are better preserved for us to explore!
"About seven hundred kilometers to our west is the center of metal reactions and spiritual waves on the surface of Kunlun. Something must be there. Let's go and take a look!"
The three of them flew to the west in the Crystal Suit, the artificial body, and the plant armor. After flying for about four hundred kilometers, they landed in the middle of a fold that was full of moss.
They had deployed a very inconspicuous attack position in the place.
Li Yao had planted a lot of crystal bombs and attack rune arrays that could be triggered with a telepathic thought in the folds of the earth.
The Fire Ant, on the other hand, had found soil in the abyss and sowed a lot of seeds.
The seeds of the demonic plants that had been genetically optimized and modified countless times took root and sprouted immediately. Their roots dug deep into the ground, and vines that were full of venomous thorns would grow out in a couple of hours.
Even Professor Mo Xuan had set up a few crystal cannons in the gaps of the rocks that were quite inconspicuous.
They had to consider the worst-case scenario. Should they run into the Immortal Cultivators on Kunlun, this place would be the battlefield where they had no choice but to fight!
After everything was set up, Li Yao found a cave in a hill that was not too steep after careful selection by Neltharion.
He retrieved a lot of items that Guo Chunfeng had prepared from his Cosmos Ring and deployed them in the cave one after another. Very soon, the cave was decorated into a messy temporary residence.
He even found a downwind outside the cave, dug a medium-sized ditch, and poured some of the sealed and preserved feces into it.
Fire Ant and Professor Mo Xuan both frowned and looked at him suspiciously as he set up the trap.
Li Yao, however, grinned at them. After everything was set up, he put the boxes and the boxes back into his Cosmos Ring and made sure that there were no loopholes left. Then, he clapped his hands in satisfaction.
Now, it was as if someone had lived in this cave for a year or so, or even longer.
With that done, the three of them continued onward.
The metal reactions up ahead were more and more intense. Li Yao's probe system was echoing with buzzes each louder than the last, as if a high-quality open-air metal reserve had been discovered.
"After we climb over the cliff up ahead, we will reach the place where the metal reactions and spiritual waves are the most intense. Be careful, everybody!"
Flying in midair was too eye-catching. Therefore, Li Yao, Professor Mo Xuan, and Fire Ant all landed and moved forward in the form of jet jumps.
The terrain in this area was even more treacherous, as if it had been through dozens of unprecedented earthquakes in a row. The cliffs were all vertical, with a height difference of thousands of meters every minute. The highest part of the mountain was completely hidden in the purple clouds, giving the feeling that it was piercing into the depths of the sea of stars.
Standing in the middle of the broken folds, Li Yao felt that he was like an ant that was rushing here and there in a maze built by deities and devils.
The cliffs that rose high from the depths of the earth were walls that were as smooth as mirrors, with traces of thousands of years of history left behind. Many of the walls had different colors from top to bottom, indicating that they were from different eras.
Like three mountain climbers, the three of them climbed over the folds with difficulty and were getting closer and closer to their destination.
There was only one last fold left in front of them. It extended for almost ten thousand kilometers and had no end in sight. The height difference was more than seven thousand meters, enough to blot out the sky.
Li Yao was adjusting the movement mode of the Crystal Suit and preparing to increase the output of spiritual energy from the power rune arrays when Professor Mo Xuan suddenly exclaimed, "Look, over there!"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at where Professor Mo Xuan was pointing, only to discover that a person was squatting and staring at them in silence several kilometers away from them in the depths of the folds.
"What!"
Li Yao shuddered. His bones were almost constricting, and his Yuanying was almost jumping out of his forehead. He drew his Blood Moon Dragon Hunting Saber quickly and adjusted the resolution of the crystal camera to the maximum before he observed carefully.
It was indeed the shape of a human, but it was deeply embedded into the wall. It seemed to have been dead for a long time.
Li Yao's telepathic thoughts spread out and did not detect the scent of any living creature. He was more or less relieved. Looking at the Fire Ant, the two of them both held their weapons and approached carefully while protecting Professor Mo Xuan.
It seemed to be right next to them, but it took them more than ten minutes to reach it.
The two parties were dozens of kilometers away from each other at the beginning. The reason why it seemed to be 'right next to them' was because the human was too enormous!
It was a giant more than a hundred meters tall.
Most of his body was deeply embedded into the rocks, like a person who had been drowned in magma. The parts that were exposed to the air were either incomplete or highly dehydrated, turning into a dry corpse.
However, judging from the skeleton that was even thicker than a crystal train and the head that was full of holes and horns that made it look like a super heavy crystal tank, it was not hard to imagine the magnificence of the giant when he had been alive!
His skeleton was covered in an awe-inspiring armor, which was made in a similar style to the armor of the ancient Cultivators. However, Li Yao observed the torn parts of the armor carefully and discovered that there was more to it than met the eye. At least dozens of layers of different metal materials had been superimposed on the armor. Also, spiritual energy transmission tubes that looked like capillaries filled every layer, which could increase the speed of the circulation of spiritual energy by hundreds of times more than before! There were also some structures that looked like nerve endings, but there was no telling what they were for!
"The armor seems to be vintage, but it has adopted a lot of technologies that are far more advanced than the modern Crystal Suit. The transmission tubes of spiritual energy and telepathic thoughts have been built into a system similar to veins and a neural network that covers the entire body of the armor!
"The enormous armor is like a primeval beast, but its senses are extremely keen. The tiniest change on the surface of the armor will be fed back to the giant's brain immediately!"
"What a marvelous refining technique!"
Li Yao secretly remarked.
"The hands of such giants are surprisingly large. Their fingers are almost three meters long, which is similar to the 'super finger' that we scanned in space. They should be of the same species!"
Professor Mo Xuan remarked, too. "In the myths and legends, there are indeed a lot of clans of giants that can support the sky and the earth. For example, in the legend of Kuafu Chasing the Sun, the giant 'Kuafu' can drink up an entire lake in one gulp. He can even stop a river from flowing.
"If the hundred-meter-tall giant is a member of the Kuafu Clan, such a legend is not so unbelievable!"
After saying that, the three of them were caught in weird silence as they stared at the giant that was suspected to be a member of the Kuafu Clan.
Even though they knew that the other party was also made of flesh and blood, made of cells, and was essentially no different from them.
Also, an excessively large body was not necessarily a good thing, especially on a planet with a high gravity. It could even be a heavy burden.
However, now that they were standing before the corpse of the giant that was almost a hundred meters tall, the three of them could not help but feel the urge to worship him.
It was a natural instinct that had been carved deep inside their cells and on their genetic strands. They had to resist it with the most tenacious willpower.
Beep! Beep!
Beep! The mystic rays that pierced into the rock wall gave back more information. A lot of human-shaped objects and animal-shaped objects were embedded on the ground.
A long time ago, a fierce battle of a large scale must have taken place here. After the battle, the world changed, and all the relics were buried deeper and deeper below the ground.
It was not until recently that Kunlun suffered an intense collision. The earth was torn apart, and the crust was twisted. Part of the battlefield was lifted to the surface of the ground again because of the movement of the crust. It was not until then that the enormous' war mural 'that was embedded with countless remains appeared!
The three of them discovered, to their surprise, that the body of another giant was embedded in the rock stratum behind the giant!
The two parties seemed to be enemies, because the giant in the back was holding a weapon that looked like a drill, which pierced into the chest of the giant in front of him brutally, shattering his internal organs!
As time went by, the internal organs naturally did not exist anymore. However, judging from the shocking cracks on the bones, it was not hard to imagine the power of the attack!
"Is one of them a warrior of the Pangu Clan, and the other a warrior of the Nuwa Clan who 'betrayed' us?"
The idea made their hearts beat faster. Li Yao cut the rock stratum around the two giants into pieces in person, gradually revealing their full appearance.
The two giants were in fact hugging each other hard, as if they were about to die together.
However, the giant in the back was slightly smaller. It was about sixty meters tall, and it was completely embedded in the rock stratum. Therefore, they did not notice it earlier.
The 'little giant' was also covered in antique armor. It seemed that the refining style of the two armors was almost the same. However, the 'little giant's' armor was more delicate and flawless. There was no trace of a corpse at all.
"That's not right!"
Under the mincing of the 'big giant' almost a hundred meters tall, the 'little giant' had already been shattered and deformed.
However, Li Yao did not find the shadow of the body at all in the shocking hole. As far as his eyes could reach, there were only the metal components that had been melted with the rock and the transmission tubes of spiritual energy.
Even the right arm of the 'little giant' that had been cut off from the shoulder did not have any bones at all. Instead, it was filled with components.
