Lin Feng is neither satisfied nor complaining about this effect, but is just used to it.
When he reached the center of the valley, he stopped, looked back at the twenty disciples, and said a few very concise sentences:
"There will be no threat to the monsters in this area today. You can explore on your own, collect spiritual materials, practice, and sense ancient Spiritual Qi, but there are a few things--"
"First, don't go north. There is a mark I made on the north side. Anyone who crosses the marked line is ignored." He pointed to the north. "Second, if you find any ruins or unknown objects, record them first and don't move. Wait for me to come back. Third -"
He paused:
"Don't mess with those monsters on the ground. They are not dangerous, but if you wake them up, it will be your problem."
"Teacher, where are you going?" a disciple asked.
"Deep," Lin Feng said, "I'm going to do archeology."
Then he took a step towards the center of the valley and further north, and quickly disappeared into the dense fluorescent vegetation.
Behind him, twenty disciples stood on the spot and looked at each other. Senior Brother Qi Yuchen looked around at the monsters lying around and sighed:
"Spread out and act separately. Meet here in three hours and contact us if there is any problem."
The vegetation in the north is denser than in the center of the valley, the fluorescence is stronger, and the ancient atmosphere is stronger. When you step on the ground, the ground under your feet has an overly soft elasticity, as if thousands of years of humus have been piled together, and it will sink two points with one step.
Lin Feng After walking for about half an hour, the vegetation began to sparse, the ground hardened, and rocks began to be exposed. The further you went, the more rocks there were. Eventually, the vegetation disappeared completely. In front of you was an open rocky land of about thirty acres. The ground was flat, as if it had been flattened by something. There were very fine lines on the stone surface. When you looked closer, you saw that the lines were not natural, but carved. They were as thin as hair, criss-crossed, and connected with countless incomprehensible runes.
Lin Feng lowered his head and scanned the runes on the ground. It was Primordial World Ancient Seal Script, but it was older than any ancient seal he had ever seen. Even he could only recognize a small part of it.
He walked around the rocky ground several times, confirmed the direction, and headed towards the center of the rocky ground.
Then, he raised his head.
I saw the stone statue.
To be precise, most of the stone statue.
The stone statue was about fifty feet tall, huge in size, and made of unknown material. It was not any mineral he had ever seen. The color was between black and gray, and the surface had an extremely delicate texture, as if it had been worn away for a long time and was smooth.
The posture of the stone statue is standing, with both hands stretched forward. The shape of the hands seems to be holding something, but the thing is no longer there, leaving only the holding posture of the two hands, the curvature and angle of the fingers, as if holding an axe.
The body shape, proportions, and clothing patterns all matched the temperament of the thing he recognized.
Just no head.
Above the neck, it was neatly cut off, and the fracture was flat. It didn't look like it had broken naturally, but more like it had been cut off by something. On the cross section, you could see the material inside the stone statue, and there was a deep, almost imperceptible light flowing very slowly inside.
Lin Feng stood at the foot of the stone statue and looked up for a long time.
Then, the stone statue moved.
It wasn't the entire stone statue that moved, but the huge stone hands. The fingers slowly closed and moved in the direction of Lin Feng. The speed was extremely slow, but the force, along with the direction of the movement of the fingers, had already caused the ground to crack.
This is the remaining will.
The stone statue has lost its main body, but the remnants of its will that have been accumulated for countless years are still retained in the body. When outsiders enter the triggering conditions, this will will automatically activate defense.
Lin Feng didn't move.
The stone hands continued to close, getting closer and closer to him, and the cracks in the ground expanded to his feet.
Then, the thing in Lin Feng's arms moved.
The two ax fragments began to generate heat at the same time. The heat did not radiate outwards, but converged inwards. It was like two magnets sensing the same kind and began to actively radiate signals of a certain frequency outwards.
The stone statue stopped.
The stone hand stopped one foot away from Lin Feng, and then, slowly, began to move back. The two closed fingers stretched out again and returned to the original holding position.
Then the system prompts, short and clear:
[The remnants of the will of the ruins have been detected, identification and devouring have been completed, and information fragments have been obtained: nine pieces in total]
[Interpreting--]
[Interpretation completed and available for viewing]
Lin Feng stood in place and read the nine pieces of information one by one.
It is not a complete record, but a fragment, like a book that has been burned in half, leaving only a few discontinuous pages. Each page is independent, and the logic in the middle has to be filled in by inference.
But when nine pieces of information are put together, a rough outline can be spelled out:
Back then, Heaven-Splitting not only opened the door to Primordial World.
Primordial World is inside Primordial Chaos World, but Primordial Chaos World itself is a closed structure. There is something on its outer layer, which is not a void or a law. It is an active and conscious blockade, like a cage, shutting the entire Primordial Chaos World inside, so that all beings in the world, no matter how high their cultivation level, cannot truly come into contact with things outside the world.
Pangu Splits the Heavens, not only Chaos of Primordial World, but also trying to split the blockade.
After the ax fell, Primordial World opened, and the blockade of Primordial Chaos World was cracked, but not completely broken.
Then, Pangu's body turned into all things, but his axe, his head, the core part of his body - shattered and scattered everywhere in Primordial Chaos World, as if they were deliberately broken up by some force to prevent them from being put back together again.
The last piece of information is a line of incomplete ancient seal script, with only half a sentence:
"... The blockade is not heaven, earth, or Tao, it is..."
The second half of the sentence is missing.
Lin Feng stared at the broken line of seal for a moment, carefully storing the nine pieces of information into his memory, and did not rush to a conclusion, because the information was not enough, and the missing half of the sentence was the most critical part.
He raised his head and took another look at the severed stone statue.
The two stone hands stood quietly in place, holding a non-existent ax handle in their hands, as if they were waiting for something that would never come back.
Lin Feng was silent for a moment and said softly:
"Let's talk about it when we find it."
Then he turned around and walked back.
Lin Feng It took about two quarters of an hour to return.
Before I reached the center of the valley, I heard a sound.
It was a low-frequency, thick roar that could cause a faint tremor on the ground. It happened every few seconds. It was rhythmic and powerful, as if it was emitted by something very large in size when it was moving.
Then, there were other voices, including screams, the roar of an explosion of spiritual power, the sound of shattering, and the muffled sound of something being knocked into the ground.
He quickened his pace.
When he entered the field of vision in the center of the valley, the first thing he saw was that Senior Brother Qi Yuchen was protecting the two disciples behind him and activating the defensive spirit treasure with all his strength, forming a translucent light shield in the air. One of the two disciples behind the light shield had an injury on his arm, and half of the sleeve on his right shoulder had been burned off.
Opposite the light shield is a monster.
