"I've sensed very strong spiritual waves and intense metal reactions. Something must be hidden inside the rock stratum!"
Yan Yangtian shrieked in the communication channel.
Li Yao sensed that some familiar waves were hiding behind the rock stratum that was as smooth as a mirror, too.
It was weird enough that such a rock wall that was as smooth as a mirror appeared in a deep-sea canyon.
"Hurry up. Blow up the rock wall. We can't give up as long as there is a slim chance!"
Li Yao gritted his teeth. The Floating Vulcan Machine Gun and the crystal railgun appeared at the same time. Almost ten fiery snakes were shot at the rock wall.
Ding Ling Dong was surrounded by intense purple flames, which split the seawater and blasted at the rock wall.
Yan Yangtian, Ba Weiqi, and Leng Ziming all bombarded the rock wall with the last bit of their spiritual energy.
"Crack! Crack!"
The rock wall was not thick. Soon, cracks that looked like spider webs appeared on it, as if it were a dam that was about to collapse.
But more and more rocks were falling down from above their heads.
One of the rocks almost hit Yan Yangtian. Thankfully, Ding Ling Dong was quick enough to pull her back.
"Our attack accelerated the collapse of the crevice. According to my estimation, the crevice will collapse completely in one minute and bury us inside!"
"We have no choice but to strengthen our attacks and dig out the enormous metal object hidden inside the rock stratum!"
Rocks were falling down above their heads. More than ten demons were eyeing them from outside. Team Blue Bronze attacked without caring about anything. More than ten seconds later, the thin rock stratum finally exploded. A dim silver brightness flashed in the darkness.
"This is …"
What appeared in front of everyone was a warship that was riddled with holes. But there was not much rust on it, and silver brilliance was flowing around it!
The crystal warship was not large in scale. It was no more than two hundred meters long. But the lines were smooth, and the style of its production could be described as' elegant '. The body of the warship was made of metal, but it gave a feeling of smoothness and ease.
An emblem of a red dragon swallowing the sun was carved on the body of the warship, indicating that it was a crystal warship from the Star Ocean Imperium.
Perhaps, they were left by the previous expedition team that explored Boneyard thousands of years ago.
Everyone's heart soared high. At first, they were filled with boundless hope. Then, it suddenly fell, turning into endless despair.
Even if they found a starship, how were they going to get in?
The crystal warship of the Star Ocean Imperium was not something that they could activate easily. In half a minute, they would be buried ten thousand meters below Boneyard together with the crystal warship!
Only Li Yao's eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
No wonder. He would have felt a familiar fluctuation just now.
The crystal warship in front of his eyes, although ragged, was identical to his Neltharion.
Neltharion. It was a piece of training magical equipment from the Star Ocean Imperium that he found in the mysterious Cosmos Ring.
By his estimation, it was used to train starship pilots.
Over the past year, he had never forgotten to train himself with Neltharion. He had grasped the basics of Neltharion. Although it was not as easy as controlling his own arm, he was at least able to use it freely.
He had also grasped the operation mode, the internal structure, and the magical equipment system of Neltharion.
If Neltharion, as a piece of training magical equipment, corresponded to a crystal warship of this model. Didn't that mean …
"Don't give up. We still have hope!"
"Ding Dong. Block the falling rocks for me. Buy me … thirty seconds! "
Li Yao turned into a streak of black brilliance. He flew to the crystal warship and moved among the rocks like a loach. Stepping on a giant rock, his speed soared again as he dashed to the shell of the crystal warship.
Behind him, Ding Ling Dong grunted. Like thousands of shackles, she suddenly broke apart and entered the seed explosion state!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
One, two, three … a total of seven flame dragons of different colors roared out from her body and circled in the air. All the rocks that were falling down were smashed into pieces!
Li Yao was extremely fast, but his heart was in the calmest state in the blink of an eye. His eyeballs were like the most precise crystal cameras. They were steady, efficient, and emotionless.
He dashed to the tail of the crystal warship.
He was very clear that the structure of Neltharion was very complicated. There were four entrances and exits and six launch platforms for Crystal Suit on the shell. But those places were all heavily guarded. Without the corresponding spiritual stripes, it would be difficult to open them by force.
Also, rune arrays were used to control the entrances and exits. After thousands of years of corrosion, it was unknown whether or not the rune arrays had lost their effectiveness.
On the left side of the stern, however, there was a maintenance entrance that could be opened from the outside so that the maintainers could enter.
The most amazing thing was that the entrance was controlled by a complicated mechanical structure. The crystal warship of this model was made of more than five thousand kinds of super-strengthened alloys. The silver seawater did not seem to be very corrosive. It did not rust or malfunction!
Very soon, Li Yao found the maintenance entrance.
Next to the round control panel, there were seven holes in different shapes. Seven different tools had to be turned on at the same time to open them.
A silver metal ball appeared in Li Yao's right hand. It wriggled slowly like glue and crawled into the seven holes. Triggered by his telepathic thought, it froze instantly.
"Crack!"
The control panel was opened. Inside was a precise, complicated mechanical structure that was as dense as a spider's web.
Li Yao thought quickly. The silver liquid metal ball in his palm turned into four different tools, which he operated quickly.
He was like a zither player who was completely absorbed in the music, lightly plucking the strings and immersing himself in his own world, completely forgetting that he was surrounded by a world that was about to collapse.
In the communication channel, Ding Ling Dong was breathing more and more heavily, but she did not urge him at all.
It was because she absolutely believed that Li Yao would bring a miracle in thirty seconds if he said that he needed thirty!
Twenty-four seconds … Twenty-five seconds …
"BOOM!"
The fiery dragons around Ding Ling Dong were dimmer than ever, but they were as stubborn as their master. They roared out again and again. They shattered the giant rocks one after another.
However, the overwhelming rocks were not something that could be stopped by human strength. Her movements were more and more sluggish. Countless pieces of gravel slipped through the net and landed heavily on her body.
Twenty-eight seconds … Twenty-nine seconds …
"Crack!"
Next to Li Yao … A gap appeared on the seemingly flawless shell, and a round cabin door that could allow one person to pass through appeared!
Inside the round cabin door, a milky white light flashed and blocked the seawater outside!
"It worked! Come in now! "
Li Yao roared. He did not crawl into the cabin door. Instead, he stomped on the shell of the ship like a sharp arrow. He darted toward Ding Ling Dong.
Ding Ling Dong had maintained the SEED EXPLOSION state for more than ten seconds. Her vitality had been overburned, and her soul had been exhausted. She was only holding on with the last bit of her willpower.
Li Yao's arrival made her feel weak all over. She collapsed in Li Yao's arms without any worries.
"Thirty seconds. Easy!"
Ding Ling Dong wanted to laugh, but what she heard in the communication channel was a series of rapid coughs, even through the thick Crystal Suit. Li Yao could feel that she was shivering in fear.
"Of course. Are you a tyrannosaurus in human form? What can they do to you? "
Li Yao laughed dryly. He dragged Ding Ling Dong and swam toward the crystal warship. Giant rocks were falling on his back one after another. He bit his lips hard and did not make any sound.
The five members of Team Blue Bronze hurriedly crawled into the maintenance channel. When Li Yao slammed the cabin door shut … A giant rock weighing almost a hundred tons happened to hit the shell of the crystal warship, causing a dull sound. Their eardrums were almost torn apart.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "
After a moment of dizziness, the crack at the bottom of the ocean finally collapsed.
The five members of Team Blue Bronze. Trapped ten thousand meters below the ground by an iron coffin.
…
Outside of the crack, in the bottomless trench, fourteen demons were patrolling in the sand again and again, but they could not sense any scent of Cultivators at all.
"Billions of tons of rocks will fall at the same time. Five Building Foundation Stage Cultivators will be dead for sure!" One of the demons grinned hideously.
But Wang Ji's face was gloomy. The sound of his teeth grinding could be heard clearly.
"Vulture Li Yao, such a death is too easy for you!
"My hatred will never be appeased if I can't skin you alive and grind your bones into dust!
"Fine. Right now, we have more important things to do. I'll excavate the secret treasures left by Skeleton Dragon first. I'll look for your body later!"
Wang Ji waved his bone tail. The fourteen demons turned around and swam toward the debris of Skeleton Dragon's undersea town.
…
In the darkness, Ding Ling Dong, Ba Weiqi, and Leng Ziming were all groaning in excruciating pain due to exhaustion after the seed explosion.
Li Yao took out three Flowing Brightness Grasses and three Heart Locking Flowers from his Cosmos Ring.
"Yan Zi, the three of them are exhausted. Peel the Flowing Brightness Crystals from the roots of the Flowing Brightness Grasses and grind them into powder. Then, mix the No. 14 strengthening drug and the No. 21 healing drug that we brought with us in a ratio of 3: 1. Pour the powder into the mixture and shake it at a high speed for half a minute.
"Then, take half of it and inject the other half into their veins.
"As for the Heart Locking Flowers, squeeze some of the juice out of them and mix it with the No. 6 strengthening drug. Smear some of it on their temples and philtrum. Take the rest and take it orally, too.
"The Flowing Brightness Crystals can help them recover their spiritual energy quickly. The Heart Locking Flowers can prevent them from mental derangement. You know the rest of the treatment procedure.
"Don't take off the Crystal Suit now. The air here is terrible and not suitable for the heavily wounded."
While talking, Li Yao crawled into the depths of the dark maintenance tubes.
"Wait. Where are you going?"
Ding Ling Dong and Yan Yangtian asked at the same time.
Li Yao's heart suddenly constricted. Ding Ling Dong's voice was extremely feeble after overexertion. She seemed to have turned into the helpless little girl who was besieged by demon beasts again.
He crawled back and groped for Ding Ling Dong's hand, before he shook it hard.
"Trust me!
"I'll be back soon.
"I'm going to find a way out for us and a dead end for the scumbags of the demon race!"
While talking, he turned around again and crawled into the darkness without looking back.
Li Yao threw away all the distracting thoughts. Many translucent, complicated structural designs popped up in his brain, which were the detailed structures of the crystal warship that he had acquired from Neltharion.
He was going to the control center of the crystal warship, which was the bridge.
Although he didn't know whether or not the crystal warship that had slept for thousands of years in the depths of Boneyard could still function normally, the fact that the rune arrays at the maintenance cabin were still working gave him a glimmer of hope.
Even if there was only a 1% chance, he wouldn't give up and would try his best to realize it!
"Wang Ji …"
