Su Changfa pondered for a long time.
Li Yao knew that with his shrewdness, he would not have agreed to teleport to an unknown area recklessly under normal circumstances. After all, there were too many variables.
But right now, Su Changfa's' investigation squad 'and the main force of the expedition army, which was made of the Black Wind Fleet behind them, were not on the same side. Instead, they were scheming against each other.
Su Changfa and the other two Immortal Cultivators were losers who had been exiled to the edge of the cosmos after the brutal failures in the competitions of their families. They craved to excavate the secret treasures in the relics of Pangu, occupy a Sector, and accumulate enough resources so that they could return for revenge!
The arrival of the Black Wind Fleet, which was as tough as tigers, as cruel as scorpions, and as greedy as dogs, would not only shatter their dreams, they might even be killed.
In order to compete with the Black Wind Fleet, Su Changfa had to take some risks.
If they could find a Colossus, it would be very beneficial for their next operation.
As he expected, Su Changfa hesitated for half a minute but nodded in the end. He said to Kou Ruhuo solemnly, "Brother Kou, since we are exploring an ancient relic, there are bound to be risks. The key is whether or not the risks are proportional to the returns! To this moment, we have found absolutely nothing. It is obviously not a good idea to return empty-handed. What do you think? "
Kou Ruhuo was the nominal commander of the exploration squad, but Su Changfa was his captain. Also, the bald man was very clear that, if a piece of legendary magical equipment such as a 'Colossus' was indeed found, it was very likely that he, who had the highest combat ability, would be the one to wield it.
Therefore, he managed to nod his head.
Tang Qianhe exclaimed in joy and was about to activate the teleportation array, when Kou Ruhuo stopped her.
"I am the chief of arms, and I am much better at dealing with dangers than you are. I'll go first!"
Tang Qianhe was dazed for a moment.
Perhaps it was his imagination, but Li Yao felt that the female Immortal Cultivator was somewhat reluctant. She did not retreat until she was frozen for 0.01 seconds.
Above the black lotus, the colorful 'soap bubble' grew larger and brighter, until it gradually turned into a dazzling ball of light.
Kou Ruhuo strode in with almost a hundred spiritual puppets and disappeared into the ball of light.
Li Yao pondered Tang Qianhe's behavior just now and felt that something was not right. She seemed to have been too proactive.
Moreover, that 0.01 second of stiffness had an unnatural feel to it. It was like some kind of signal delay.
Before Li Yao could think further, Kou Ruhuo's slightly trembling figure once again appeared in the glowing sphere.
"We found a treasure!"
The bald man roared excitedly in the communication channel.
Leaving three hundred spiritual puppets in an automatic defense formation around the teleportation array, the four of them entered one after another, only to be consumed by the light ball one after another.
Swoosh!
In front of Li Yao's eyes, a burst of colorful rainbow fragments flashed past. Thousands of colorful butterflies gathered in an instant and dispersed in an instant.
He appeared in the warp forcefield of another warp formation.
What appeared in front of Li Yao was an incomparably vast space.
For a moment, he even thought that he had been teleported to a boundless sea of stars.
Activating his optical nerves to the maximum, he looked into the distance and finally saw the dense hexagonal holes on the walls around him. He realized that he was still inside Kunlun.
They seemed to be at the center of a super large beehive.
Those who suffered from trypophobia certainly did not like to stay in such a world.
The gravity control rune arrays in this place had probably been damaged in the primeval war. Without the restraint of gravity, countless dead bodies and scraps were floating in midair quietly like frozen statues, just like in the vacuum of space.
It was not until the spiritual ripples raised by their arrival disturbed the slumber of the dead bodies that some of the scraps were dancing slowly.
"It seems that, although the Pangu escaped to this place through the teleportation array, the human army followed them, too. A fierce battle was waged here again!"
Li Yao mumbled, his eyes glittering.
The entire enormous space was both a splendid, gory relic of an ancient battlefield and a priceless treasury.
This place was protected by the super alloy walls. There was neither intense interference nor the gnawing of the Blood Tide, the Hellish Light Butterflies, and other mutated animals. Most of the remains were well-preserved!
Although the dead bodies of the Pangu and human beings from hundreds of thousands of years ago had been reduced to dry corpses and bones without any sign of life, the armor on the few survivors and the giant sabers and swords in their hands were emitting a layer of gloomy brilliance, indicating that they were not affected by the passage of time!
When Li Yao approached the magical equipment and tested them with his telepathic thoughts, the flames of spiritual energy on the surface of the magical equipment soared abruptly. It was obvious that they were reacting to his telepathic thoughts!
"These magical equipment are not completely damaged!"
Li Yao almost burst into tears and roared!
As a magical equipment specialist, was there anything more wonderful than being in the middle of an ocean of primeval magical equipment?
"Shua!"
At the center of the enormous space, Tang Qianhe seemed to have touched a piece of magical equipment. Intense ripples of spiritual energy suddenly spread out, and a golden ball of light expanded abruptly from a tiny point of nothingness to more than one kilometer in diameter!
On the translucent golden ball of light were starry spots that were connected by extremely thin lines. Next to the lines, detailed information was attached!
Li Yao adjusted the power rune arrays of the Crystal Suit carefully. He spurted out feeble flames of spiritual energy and slowly flew into the golden ball of light, where he observed the world inside.
It was as if he was in a miniature universe. All the stars in the sky and all the phenomena in the world were slowly revolving around him.
"This is the navigation map of the Pangu civilization!"
Li Yao almost exclaimed in shock!
The star maps that recorded all the stars in the three thousand Sectors could be divided into many categories.
Some of the star maps paid special attention to the study of stars. Some of the star maps focused on the habitable planets with abundant resources. Some of the star maps specifically marked the location of every black hole.
The star map in the Star Prier's House, for example, paid special attention to the abnormal movement of the celestial bodies in the universe. It was also known as the map of the apocalypse!
It did not mean that any random star map could be used to travel in the sea of stars.
It was like traveling around the world with a global map the size of a palm. It did not provide any guidance at all.
The Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector's understanding of the sea of stars was still very shallow. All the star maps in their possession, except for the Star Map of Kunlun left by Ba Yanzhi and the map of the apocalypse in the Star Prier's House, were no different from a global map the size of a palm. They could not be used for space travel at all.
This star map, however, was different.
It included a lot of information about black holes, neutron stars, red giants, magnetic storms, and safe sailing routes. Countless space zones with abundant spiritual energy and stable astronomical parameters that were suitable for space jumps were also marked on it!
Other than that, there were also thousands of types of information that Li Yao could not understand at all!
It was the most professional space navigation map, which was used to guide the starships!
Although Li Yao could not understand most of the information, he could more or less recognize the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector at the bottom left corner of the map and the Flying Star Sector at the center of the map!
Judging from the relative relationship of the three Sectors and the scale of the entire map, the star map did not cover a large area, but it did include the dozens of Sectors around the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector!
"This is a priceless treasure!"
Li Yao almost felt like stuffing the star map into his stomach.
Although it was a product from hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even millions of years ago, even if it was a few million years ago, it was just a short moment in the astronomical scale. The astronomical environment would not have changed too much!
It meant that the detailed star navigation map around the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector was still of great significance for the universal development today!
Judging from the three Immortal Cultivators who were shivering in excitement nearby, it was obvious that the star navigation map contained a lot of information that even the Imperium of True Human Beings had not grasped yet!
Not good!
Li Yao suddenly thought of something. The star map was too valuable. There would be dire consequences if it fell into the hands of the Imperium of True Human Beings.
No matter what price he had to pay, he had to stop the three Immortal Cultivators from getting the star map!
"This is an escape center."
Tang Qianhe, who had abundant experience in space travel, made a professional judgment. Pointing at the empty 'honeycomb' around, she said, "Those dense holes should've been filled with escape capsules.
"Perhaps the Pangu civilization realized that their failure was inevitable. Therefore, they were teleported to this place through the teleportation arrays deployed everywhere on the planetary warship before they escaped from the planetary warship in the escape capsules!
"The power of the escape capsules can't be very high, and it is difficult for them to change the sailing route time and time again. Therefore, the destination was set through a certain piece of control magical equipment in the escape center itself. That's why there is such a clear and detailed star navigation map here!"
"Escape capsules?"
The two words raised all their imaginations.
If they could find an escape capsule left by the Pangu civilization, they would have a chance to decipher the corresponding space travel technology and even space jump technology. The value of such technology would be immeasurable!
"Explore the honeycombs around and see if there are any escape capsules left!"
Even Su Changfa, who was experienced and prudent, could not hold back his excitement. Li Yao could clearly hear his heavy breathing in the communication channel.
Hundreds of spiritual puppets dispersed and searched on the walls that had no end in sight.
Li Yao received almost a thousand pictures through the crystal cameras of the hundreds of spiritual puppets. He did not need to explore in person. All he needed to do was to analyze and process the pictures.
Most of the hexagonal holes were empty. There was no telling where the dark tubes led to.
Some of the holes, together with the escape capsules, had been completely destroyed by the explosions, turning into black garbage that was of no value to be analyzed.
Half an hour later, the spiritual puppets controlled by Tang Qianhe finally found the first intact escape capsule!
What was even more surprising for the four of them was that inside the escape capsule …
There were people inside!
With the care and encouragement of my brothers and sisters, I have surpassed four million words in the forty thousand years of cultivation!
Since I've just finished the concluding speech of the third volume, I will not celebrate it with a single chapter. Let's just say a few words here and there!
Firstly, the original structure of the book was about three to four million words, which was twice as long as the longest book that Old Niu had ever written.
However, as I was writing, I realized that, even with four million words, I was only halfway through the plot.
Was I going to write eight million words? Would you support me?
Secondly, the gap between the monthly votes in the previous few months and the previous ones was too huge, and I was not in the mood to make a breakthrough. But this month, Old Niu took a look and found that the gap was not bad. It was still possible to make a breakthrough. Therefore, if you have any monthly votes, please give Old Niu a few more chapters. Thank you!
Thirdly, our book review section is truly one of the most lively book review sections in the world. Your comments are all very good. Old Niu is truly dazzled. I will refine your comments every few days. I hope that you can continue your pleasant discussion with us!
