How Many Xuanyuan Swords Are There?

"Oh dear, never mind that, let me open it!"

As she spoke, Kiana stepped forward excitedly, her White Comet Armor glowing with golden patterns.

The deep-sea caves and Ancient Stone Gate gave her the feeling of exploring and opening treasure chests.

"Kiana, wait a minute, there are still a few stone tablets here, maybe we can find some information."

Shi Hen couldn't help but rub his forehead.

This white-haired girl is too impulsive.

The Nine Nether are the sealed place of Judgment-class Honkai Beast; it's not a place you can just rush in without any strategy.

"The handwriting is very blurry, can it be deciphered?"

Looking at the several stone tablets with severe weathering, Himeko raised an eyebrow and asked.

"It should be fine."

Shi Hen nodded in response.

Even if the human eye cannot perceive it, computer programs are perfectly capable of handling these kinds of problems.

"Oh? Did you find it? Send it over so I can take a look."

Hyperion's equipment is more comprehensive; they should be able to find more information.

Hearing their conversation, Theresa, who had been hiding in the communication channel, spoke up.

"Yes, Headmaster."

Nodding, Shi Hen immediately activated the Wrist-worn Terminal on his body, took photos of the stone tablet and the stone gate, and sent them to Hyperion.

While undertaking the task of remote output, Shi Hen also serves as the team's technological support.

The Wrist-worn Terminal he was wearing was just as powerful as any top-of-the-line computer on the market.

With the continuous development of materials and technology, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy have been able to miniaturize computers.

Of course, World Serpent can do the same, and even better.

In terms of the number of Previous Civilization Heritage inherited, the World Serpent is far ahead of the other two.

A few minutes later, the analysis results of the Shi Hen came out, even faster than those of Hyperion.

When dealing with relatively simple tasks, the speed of a small computer is not much slower than that of the mainframe of Hover Battleship.

What's written on it?

Kiana immediately came over and asked, like a kitten that had discovered something new.

"See for yourself."

Helplessly glancing at the white-haired girl that was almost pressed against him, Shi Hen swiped the projection screen toward the girl.

"A year ago, Jilin carried the Xuanyuan Sword..."

Kiana glanced at the screen and began to read aloud softly.

After a while, the white-haired girl finally finished reading. Mei looked at the stone tablet and frowned slightly. "This seems to be about the reason for the construction of the stone gate."

"This stone gate was built by Lianshan!"

Theresa's voice, suddenly realizing something, came through the communication channel.

Having read the records in that crimson jade, she could now clearly discern the traces of those ancient figures.

Moreover, the love story between Lianshan and Jilin occupies a large portion of Danzhu's notes, and could easily be read as a novel.

Judging from the notes, Danzhu and others played a significant role in bringing Lianshan and Jilin together.

Well, he pointed out a whole bunch of bad ideas.

All I can say is that the fact that they couldn't break up after being tormented by that group of silly guys who are still single for so long shows how strong their relationship really is.

"Lianshan?"

Kiana looked confused.

This name did not appear in the inscription.

"In legend, Lianshan was Jilin's husband."

Shi Hen explained.

"Lianshan must have entered the Nine Nether and built these structures in search of his wife's remains..."

Looking at the massive stone gate that was over three meters tall in front of her, Mei guessed.

"Waaaaah~ So touching!"

The white-haired girl immediately burst into tears.

These stone gates and steles would have required considerable effort even in this era, let alone in ancient times.

She couldn't even imagine how Lianshan had managed to do all this.

Looking at the stone gate, Himeko fell silent for a moment before asking, "Does the inscription mention how to open the gate?"

She had just tried; the stone door wasn't something that could be easily pushed open.

It's either a brute-force attack or there's some kind of mechanism involved.

"No. But I think it's probably a trap."

Shi Hen shook his head slightly.

"A trap? Why?"

Mei couldn't help but ask.

"Because there are no Chiyuan Bird in front of this door." As he spoke, Shi Hen pointed to a stone bird statue in the distance. "The last sentence of the inscription is to follow the gaze of the Chiyuan Bird."

If anyone were to covet the Xuanyuan Sword and forcibly break down the door, they would likely only receive malice from ancient times.

Not to mention building a stone gate in such a place, they even had the resources to build traps. He couldn't help but admire Lianshan's tenacity.

I wonder if Fu Hua helped when the other party was doing all this.

"Then let's keep going."

Upon hearing this, Himeko nodded approvingly.

Sure enough, among the three, the boy was the most cautious and calm.

Kiana is too reckless, Mei lacks wisdom, and only Shi Hen has the ability to lead the team out of the fog.

Only...

Himeko glanced at the two girls beside her and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Ignoring the stone gate, the group followed the directions of the stone bird statue and soon encountered a smooth stone wall blocking their path.

"Everyone be careful!"

Himeko placed her hand on the hilt of the Greatsword behind her, and Himeko expression instantly became wary.

Something unusual must be going on.

Since entering the cave, they haven't encountered a single enemy. Their success is almost defying common sense, as if some kind of will is protecting them.

Based on her years of experience as Valkyrie, this is often a sign that they have fallen into a trap.

There is no doubt that someone wants to use them to achieve a certain goal.

Picking up a stone from the roadside, Shi Hen flicked his wrist and threw it at the smooth, mirror-like stone wall in front of him.

Bang!

The stone hit the rock wall and bounced off immediately, leaving no trace.

"There are traces of Honkai Energy on it." Shi Hen said solemnly, glancing at the White-haired Girl beside him. "Kiana, shoot it."

"Receive!"

With a grin, Kiana raised her pistol and pulled the trigger, a beam of eerie blue light shooting out from the muzzle.

Call out!

The beam of light struck the stone wall in an instant, creating ripple-like patterns before passing straight through.

He picked up another stone, Shi Hen with a slight movement of his fingertips, he imbued it with a faint white light before flicking it out again.

Call out--

The stone made a whooshing sound as it cut through the air, but unlike the previous stone, it didn't bounce off; instead, it passed right through like a beam of light.

"It seems that only items carrying Honkai Energy can pass through."

Shi Hen guessed.

"A rather cautious judgment."

Himeko smiled with satisfaction, while secretly glancing at the boy.

She suspected that this guy might have some kind of paranoia.

In that brief moment, even she hadn't thought to test the waters with stones and attacks.

"But we still don't know what's behind the stone wall."

Shi Hen shook his head, his face showing no trace of smugness.

"You'll find out once you go in." Himeko simply shrugged and smiled. "Kiana and I will go first, you guys follow."

As she spoke, Himeko placed her hand on the stone wall.

In Setsuna, the previously dark stone wall lit up with white light, Himeko then heard a voice:

"Filthy humans, you have finally come..."

"What..."

Before Himeko could react, the white light on the stone wall suddenly intensified, attempting to absorb the Valkyrie's body into it.

"Major Himeko!"

Sensing something amiss with the white light, Mei shouted, but her body couldn't react in time.

In a flash, only Shi Hen's figure flashed forward, grabbed Himeko's other hand, and was sucked in along with her.

Upon seeing this, Kiana's face immediately showed anxiety.

"Let's hurry inside!"

Kiana barely had time to utter a single sentence before she unleashed her Honkai Energy and surged into the stone wall.

"Kiana..."

Helpless, Mei had no choice but to follow.

But after passing through the stone wall, Mei only saw a vast space that resembled a castle hall, and... a bewildered white-haired girl.

Chapter 185 How many Xuanyuan Swords are there?

"Hen! Major Himeko! How's it going on your end!?"

Mei realized what was happening and shouted into the communication channel, but she didn't receive a single response.

"Mei, what happened over there?"

Theresa, who had been on the communication channel, realized that something had happened in the Nine Nether and quickly asked.

"Hen and Aunt Himeko were sucked into a stone wall and then disappeared!"

Kiana said hurriedly, her voice filled with panic and regret.

At that time, she was clearly the one closest to Himeko, but she was the last to react. Even Mei noticed the anomaly in the stone wall faster than her.

"Stone wall..."

Upon hearing Kiana's explanation, Theresa couldn't help but ponder.

Based on what she had heard from the communication channel, she was able to piece together the events.
