Chapter 149 Alchemy and Mechanical Flow? Full of Mysteries!

He said with a twitch of his head: "Maybe you can take this opportunity to study a pet evolution topic with Professor Qiao Bai?"

Qiao Bai: "?"

What kind of King of Scrolls, you still don't forget to find him a job at this time, right!

Qiao Bai: Rejected.

Professor Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, but fortunately Professor Wu still had some reason in him.

"I invited Qiao Bai to study this ancient tomb together, and to open a new research topic temporarily... Without any preparation, nothing can be studied, and it will be a waste of time."

Professor Wu shook his head.

No, no.

This won't work.

No matter how tempted you are, it won't work.

After hearing this, Jiang Heng's face showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping.

She glanced at Qiao Bai, whose expression didn't change at all, and then at Professor Wu, who thought so sincerely, and the words of complaint were on her lips.

But obviously, how could Jiang Heng say it in front of the owner?

"...Okay, Professor Wu, if you think it's not appropriate, forget it." Jiang Heng sighed helplessly.

"But there is really no progress in the excavation of the ancient tomb, and we didn't expect you to come so soon..." Jiang Heng's voice became smaller and smaller.

Okay, okay.

They should have thought of this in advance.

After all.

Faced with an ancient tomb that is likely to tamper with the entire history of beast control from the source, who can resist it?

Just look at the completely sold-out tickets to Yangcheng.

Fortunately, Professor Wu and Qiao Bai are both easy to talk to.

Jiang Heng repeatedly promised that he would contact them as soon as there was progress. Professor Wu, like when he came, walked slowly in the direction of the return journey with his hands behind his back.

"Then you guys are busy, we'll go first."

Professor Wu waved his hand.

Qiao Bai glanced at the deep pit being excavated, and then retracted his gaze.

He followed Professor Wu's footsteps, full of expectations in his heart.

Just now.

Qiao Bai quietly used his talent skills on the part excavated from the ancient tomb.

[Eye of Insight] didn't see anything.

The panel locked the pets of other beast masters and staff members who were not important.

Then.

Qiao Bai used another uncommon talent skill [Power of Response].

When using it, Qiao Bai did not have much hope in his heart. There were too many pets nearby, and he could not hear anything useful.

However.

Something unexpected happened.

Just as Qiao Bai said, there were many pets around.

The ones nearby were the Dream Eater Cat and Qianji beside Jiang Heng, and the ones farther away were three earth-drilling dragons used to dig the entrance of the ancient tomb, and the pets brought by other staff members...

There were a dozen or so pets, and the voices of the pets mixed together were not so noisy. Most of the pets were still very simple and had single thoughts.

Their voices gathered together were probably like the barking of kittens and puppies, a little noisy, but tolerable.

But after using the talent skill, Qiao Bai first noticed not the messy voices of the pets, but a huge, deafening heartbeat that could overwhelm all other sounds.

Bang——

Bang bang——

Bang bang bang——

One after another.

Soothing, regular, and long.

It was as if some ancient giant beast was sleeping under this land.

That was a living life.

Qiao Bai exerted his strong willpower to control himself from showing any strange expression on the spot.

Who could have thought?

Originally, it was just a casual remark that there might be extraordinary creatures in the ancient tomb below.

But basically no one believed it.

Even Professor Wu agreed to come here to see if he could find the bodies of some extraordinary creatures in the ancient tomb.

And by the way, study the difference between extraordinary creatures two thousand years ago and extraordinary creatures one thousand two hundred years ago and now.

Living extraordinary creatures... that's a bit scary.

A life form that can live for two thousand years...

What would that be?

After walking back a few steps, Professor Wu ran into Cui Wenzhong who came to find him.

"Teacher." Cui Wenzhong didn't feel awkward when he bumped into Professor Wu. He took the initiative and said as if he had just come with Professor Wu: "The excavation work will take some time. The previous inspection team is not that fast. We estimate that we will stay here for ten days or half a month."

"Do you want to relax or continue the previous research topic?"

Professor Wu: "..."

Professor Wu showed a toothache on his face.

"Hey...previous research..." Professor Wu said and glanced at Qiao Bai beside him. After thinking for a while, he said hesitantly: "Or everyone should take a good rest for the time being..."

"Professor Wu, don't worry about me, it's okay." Qiao Bai said hurriedly.

But... "What is your latest research topic?" Qiao Bai looked a little interested and asked curiously.

"I remember that your latest work was finished more than a month ago?"

Since he agreed to Professor Wu's invitation, Qiao Bai had done his homework in advance before coming and learned about Professor Wu's main work in the past year.

After ending his cooperation with the official "Extreme" project, Professor Wu took over the work with a designated direction of "researching the evolutionary path of extraordinary creatures with the ability to purify water sources."

Seeing this kind of subject requirement, Qiao Bai had so many questions on his face that he could go out and act as an NPC.

no?

What is the difference between this kind of designated direction project and making a wish?

Party A said that he wanted a colorful black, regardless of whether there is a colorful black in the world.

Party B will have to rack his brains and compare various color pigments to create this colorful black that may not exist.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Learned a lot.

It turns out it can still be like this.

"That project..." Before Professor Wu said anything, Cui Wenzhong pushed up his glasses and smacked his tongue, dissatisfaction in his tone came to his face.

Qiao Bai: "..."

He originally thought that this kind of evolutionary requirement to specify the direction was normal, but from Cui Wenzhong's stunned expression, it seemed that it was not that normal?

"That's right." Cui Wenzhong glanced at Qiao Bai, who had everything he wanted to say written on his face.

Knowing that Qiao Bai had only been in the industry for a short time and was still a newcomer in the circle, Cui Wenzhong patiently explained to Qiao Bai: "In fact, it is not difficult to simply study the evolutionary path of extraordinary creatures with the ability to purify water. "

"After all, there are some extraordinary creatures with water attributes. They are in water sources and have certain environmental maintenance functions for the waters they are in."

Extraordinary power affects the ecological environment in all aspects.

There are good and bad.

But as long as you search carefully and study it, you can still pick out the good parts.

"The waters where these extraordinary creatures like the anchovy, scavenger, and moss turtle are cleaner than other ordinary waters, and the extraordinary power emanating from them has a positive impact on the waters."

"Start from this direction and try a few more times to figure out the evolutionary route in this designated direction."

"But the question is... what does it mean to not only purify the waters, but also enhance the vitality of the waters so that the number of life forms in the waters can multiply five to ten times?"

At this point, Cui Wenzhong laughed angrily.

"Do you really think our pet evolution professor is a magic lamp? We can light up any wish you make?"

Qiao Bai was silent.

ha.

It sounds a bit outrageous.

Cui Wenzhong: "Then you haven't heard what's more outrageous. They want to raise water dragons in this water area."

Qiao Bai silently typed a question mark.

Water dragon?

Is it the water dragon he was thinking of?

It doesn't mean a dragon species like the Jade Silver Snake, which after evolution has a slight resemblance to a dragon.

The water dragon is an extraordinary creature with the dragon attribute. It has the ability to make rain, and its control over water stands at the pinnacle of other extraordinary creatures with the water attribute.

but.

It’s like saying, “If it’s not a phoenix tree, it won’t live there, if it’s not a bamboo tree, it won’t eat it, if it’s not a phoenix tree, it won’t drink from it.”

Water dragons also have very high requirements for water.

At least in the entire world, only a part of the sea near a certain "Water Dragon Island" in the southeast can meet the daily requirements for water dragons to live and reproduce.

No water dragon will leave Water Dragon Island until they reach adulthood.

The number of water dragons that left Water Dragon Island after reaching adulthood can be counted on one hand.

The problem is that water from other places simply cannot meet Shuilong’s standards for daily water use.

Qiao Bai shook his head.

sharp.

There really is everyone for everyone these days.

Raise a water dragon?

Don't even look at whether you have the ability and strength.

"The most irritating thing is that their outrageous demands were not stated in advance, but were put forward bit by bit during our research." Cui Wenzhong rolled his eyes: "I was like I sensed something was wrong.”

"Then dig deep inside, okay." He spread his hands.

This is definitely a targeted fraud.

As long as the other party dares to write down the requirement of "purifying the water to a level acceptable to the water dragons", they will not even take a look at this project.

"Hey, that's why I prefer to cooperate with the government these years." Professor Wu also looked a little helpless: "If it doesn't work out, it's better to study some topics that you like."

"Just like the topic I've been studying recently."

Professor Wu can afford to take it up and put it down, and he is very open-minded.

After talking briefly for a few breaths, his eyes lit up when he told Qiao Bai about what he was studying recently.

"I want to start a new series of research projects, specifically studying those evolutionary routes that are simple, convenient, and require less resources!"

"Under these conditions, try your best to develop more powerful evolutionary forms of extraordinary creatures!"

Simple.

convenient.

Less resource requirements.

When these words were superimposed together, Qiao Bai instantly understood Professor Wu's real needs - an evolutionary route that would be more convenient to promote to the majority of beast masters.

It’s not that there are many powerful evolutionary routes that are bad, but the resource requirements are too high.

A beastmaster with an ordinary background may not be able to get a loan, let alone subsequent training and growth in strength.

Spending money to raise a pet beast is never a joke for a beast master.

Because of the support from the state and officials, there have been no big troubles for the time being.

But at Professor Wu's age, he always worries involuntarily - what if an accident really happens?

It’s better to research in advance and be prepared.

If there may be hidden dangers, they will find ways to solve the problems as much as possible.

Senior beast masters are a manifestation of national strength.

But this does not mean that there is no need for low-level beast masters to exist.

As the number of low-level beast masters increases, the number of high-level beast masters will increase accordingly.

This is a necessary process.

Qiao Bai touched his chin.

Ah... maybe he can help with this?

Think about the new evolutionary routes of extraordinary creatures that need to be studied in the various progress bars of his talent skills... Well, this might be a very good opportunity!

…

five days.

In the past five days, the entire Yangcheng has been in a feverish atmosphere.

It's obviously Chinese New Year.

But the merchants in Yangcheng have no time to rest at all.

After the New Year's Eve, I went out to work.

Here's your chance to pick up money!

There are many tourist attractions in Yangcheng, plus the ancient tombs that are being excavated... Although it is not allowed to get close and take pictures, just taking a look at the progress from a distance will make people exclaim.

very fast.

After determining the specific location and scope of the ancient tomb, we found that it is a huge underground tomb covering an area of ​​nearly 800 square kilometers, one-fifth of the area of ​​​​Yangcheng.

After the three earth-burrowing demonic dragons dug 24 hours a day in shifts, they finally dug out the general outline and found the location of the entrance to the ancient tomb.

Excited.

excited.

All kinds of emotions were mixed together, and everyone from all parties who had been miserable for five days couldn't wait to enter this ancient tomb.

Then……

As expected, the accident happened.

The entrance to the ancient tomb...ahem, I can't get in.

A total of ten groups of people tried to enter, but how could they walk in through the entrance of the ancient tomb, and how could they be sent out intact half an hour later.

When asked what happened, everyone had blank expressions on their faces and didn't know what to ask.

do not remember.

Can not remember.

Passed out.

I walked out as I walked.

The answers are pretty much the same, but they all mean the same thing.

Jiang Heng: "..."

"There must be a solution." Jiang Heng held his forehead and said helplessly: "I found the entrance but can't get in... Is it possible that it is caused by the ability of some extraordinary creatures?"

The beastmaster's tomb.

Especially for those powerful beast masters, some of them will indeed arrange some strange arrangements.

But basically everything is easy to break.

It will not cause much trouble to their work in the grave.

I have no idea what kind of extraordinary creature caused this situation... I have to say, this is the first time I have seen it.

Jiang Heng and Ke Xia, who was forced to come together, looked at each other.

"Shall we go in together and try?"

"……OK."

Try and die.

It turned out that Jiang Heng and Ke Xia were unable to study this strange situation at the entrance and exit.

Jiang Heng couldn't help but become anxious.

The ancient tomb is close at hand.

But they couldn't even get through the gate.

Is that true?

Just ask, is this ridiculous?

"It's useless to be anxious." Although he doesn't want to work, when he has to work, Ke Xia will still show his due spirit.

The sooner you get rid of your work, the sooner you can return to your normal state!

Everything that hinders him should be eliminated and resolved!

Just like the setting at this entrance.

After confirming again and again that this was not an effect caused by the skill of an extraordinary creature, everyone began to study it. Finally, after three days and three nights of research, they discovered the clue.

"Mechanical? Or is it alchemy?" Qiao Bai couldn't help but have an expression of doubt and confusion on his face as he listened to Jiang Heng's words.

no?

Aren't they a fantasy channel?

Why did he travel to the magic channel inexplicably?

Mechanics can barely be explained by genre.

But alchemy... is really a bit outrageous.

"It's not the alchemy you imagined... Hey, if you insist on thinking that way, it's not impossible." Jiang Heng wanted to retort, but in the middle of her rebuttal, she held her forehead helplessly.

On the other hand, Professor Wu on the side showed an understanding expression and took the initiative to explain to Qiao Bai.

"Alchemy actually existed a thousand years ago, but due to some special reasons that we cannot explore now, alchemy was lost."

"And alchemy is not as mysterious as the legends say. There are a few written records and descriptions in some ancient books that can be verified. Alchemy is the equivalent exchange of substances."

"To me, I think the so-called alchemy is more like the most basic use of matter by ancient humans. Because they don't understand the principles contained in it, they call it alchemy."

Jiang Heng had a toothache.

"No, no, no... the alchemy we discovered is really different from this alchemy..."

Professor Wu: "?"

Professor Wu looked at Jiang Heng with surprised eyes: "You don't mean to say that this alchemy is the kind of alchemy that can turn stone into gold and achieve immortality, right?"

"Do you think I am this kind of person?"

Jiang Heng's voice was a little weak, but she finally got to the most critical point: "We suspect that this alchemy is another way to use extraordinary power."

Professor Wu: "?"

Cui Wenzhong: "?"

Qiao Bai:.

A little surprised.

But he didn't seem that surprised.

After hearing the steady and powerful heartbeat coming from the ancient tomb, Qiao Bai had a hunch that this ancient tomb was definitely more exciting than he imagined.

In every sense of the word.

Qiao Bai originally thought that they would not be shocked until they entered the ancient tomb and saw the living, unknown extraordinary creature.

Unexpectedly, just after getting started, I already started to feel the shock of two thousand years of time and space.

alchemy?

The legendary alchemy?

Other uses of supernatural power?

Professor Wu felt that there was something wrong with his heart.

"Are you sure?!" Professor Wu asked hurriedly.

"I'm not sure." The expression on Jiang Heng's face was very serious: "This was originally based on our speculation about the special circumstances of the entrance, but if it is really true..."

Things have changed. Things have changed.

Things are really going to change.

It has only been in the past few years that humans have awakened the ability to control beasts and control extraordinary power, and there has never been a way to apply extraordinary power to external substances.

What is the design of the gate of this ancient tomb?

Think of this.

Professor Wu couldn't sit still either.

"Is the door open?" Professor Wu asked the question he was most concerned about: "If there is no problem, we should be able to enter!"

Jiang Heng nodded.

"That's what I came here for today."

"But the situation inside the ancient tomb is a little more complicated..."

Professor Wu waved his hand: "That's nothing!"

As long as you can get in.

It doesn’t matter if it’s complicated or not.

There is no researcher who is not interested in this kind of historical treasure from two thousand years ago.

"Then let's have a meeting first."

Jiang Heng said firmly.

…

Qiao Bai also participated in this meeting in person, but what specifically happened at the meeting and other processes... Qiao Bai didn't really want to recall it.

So be it.

Anyway, the final result is good for him, Professor Wu, and the professors of pet evolution.

Go to the grave together.

Everyone was given a backpack prepared in advance.

"There are lights, water, food and other basic living supplies inside, which can ensure a safe life for three days after being dispersed or trapped. If you are a beast master, you can last longer." Jiang Heng looked at the ground. The people who were preparing to enter the ancient tomb together said with serious expressions.

"The entrance to the ancient tomb has been opened normally according to our research, but entering from the same entrance does not mean that we will be transported to the same place."

"Don't panic or worry if you find that there are no other companions around you after entering." Jiang Heng explained in detail some situations that they might encounter after their first round of research and exploration.

"Remember the time and study the information, documents and information in the ancient tomb as much as possible while ensuring your own safety."

At this point, Jiang Heng paused: "Don't try it if you think it's dangerous or if you're not sure it can be done. Do you understand?"

Jiang Heng had never thought about kicking out the non-beast masters.

But after careful consideration she decided not to do it.

The danger level of this ancient tomb is still within a controllable range.

The maze at the door was very gentle and did not pose any threat or harm to their lives and bodies. Whether they were beast masters or ordinary people, they were all safely sent out even if they could not enter. .

That being the case.

Let ordinary people and beast masters go down together and try it out.

With more people and more power, we might be able to find some useful clues.

It is not that no one has objections to Jiang Heng's decision, but these non-beast masters who are willing to go to the grave are willing to bear the possible consequences.

Compared with the dangers that may or may not exist, they are still more interested in the tomb itself.

This is first-hand information!

No one can stop their contact!

Qiao Bai and Cui Wenzhong walked side by side beside Professor Wu: "Professor Wu, be careful when you go in."

"Teacher, you'd better not go. If something happens to you accidentally..." Cui Wenzhong also looked at Professor Wu with a worried look on his face, as if he wanted to persuade Professor Wu to come down.

"I know, but this is most likely the tomb of a beast master from two thousand years ago. There may be many unknown extraordinary biological documents or related information in it. If you can't see it with your own eyes..." Professor Wu pursed his lips as he spoke. , he will definitely regret it!

It's dangerous.

He also considered it.

In the absence of extraordinary creatures, as long as they can join up with a large army or meet one or two people, the danger level should not be as high as imagined.

Cui Wenzhong let out a long sigh.

He knew he couldn't persuade the teacher, but he just wanted to give it a try!

It's no use... Cui Wenzhong cast his expectant eyes on Qiao Bai beside him.

In other words, is it possible to count on Qiao Bai?

Qiao Bai nodded: "If we can meet him."

He will definitely protect Professor Wu.

Cui Wenzhong did not relax at all because of Qiao Bai's approval.

Random teleportation... Cui Wenzhong frowned once again when he thought about it.

It's because of this, otherwise he wouldn't have so much to think about!

"arrive."

Just when Cui Wenzhong was thinking about something, they had already arrived at the door of the ancient tomb.

It's not as grand a scene as I imagined.

It's just a hole that can accommodate one person through. If you look closer, it's pitch black inside.

"Come in together?" Cui Wenzhong looked at Qiao Bai, then looked at the teacher beside him and said.

Jiang Heng, who was not far away, heard Cui Wenzhong's words. She turned around and glanced at them: "It doesn't matter whether you enter together or one by one. The teleportation is random and you will not be teleported to the same place just because you entered together."

Jiang Heng said hesitantly: "Not necessarily? You can try again."

Regardless of whether it's a psychological effect or something else, just give it a try.

Cui Wenzhong nodded and stood beside Professor Wu without hesitation. Qiao Bai did not resist and followed the trend.

Most people walked in in groups of three or five.

Take two steps forward and their figures are no longer visible.

Soon all the few people had entered the cave, leaving only Qiao Bai and Professor Wu.

"Let's go too."

The three people stepped forward together, Cui Wenzhong holding Professor Wu's hand tightly with both hands.

Professor Wu had already rolled his eyes at him several times in disgust, but Cui Wenzhong remained indifferent.

Turn it over, turn it over, turn it over as you like.

Teacher safety is the most important thing.

Qiao Bai looked at it with the corners of his mouth raised.

This pair of master and apprentice, who are both quite old, is really interesting.

Qiao Bai took the lead and entered the cave at the front.

step.

Two steps.

It was completely dark.

Qiao Bai did not take out the flashlight.

Three steps.

Four steps.

Continue to go.

Five steps...the darkness in front of him disappeared, and for a moment Qiao Bai seemed to see golden stars flashing through the black space.

Qiao Bai didn't wait to determine whether this was his fantasy or reality.

The next second.

The body soars.

Both feet are already standing in another space.

Qiao Bai stood firm and opened his eyes, and was surprised to find - hmm?

The surrounding environment is not as dark as expected?

The faint light is like a firefly in the dark night, with stars scattered but not bright enough.

But after the eyes adapt to the surrounding environment, they can barely see the surrounding situation clearly.

Then Qiao Bai was surprised but not very surprised to find out.

The place he was in didn't look like an ancient tomb from more than two thousand years ago.

There was no one else around.

Professor Wu and Cui Wenzhong were not teleported with him, and the others did not know where they were. Qiao Bai tightened his backpack tightly. The supplies inside were one of the sources of confidence for him to explore here.

Qiao Bai did not rush to start his exploration, but released a few little guys.

Xiaowu.

Cat bug.

Little white snake.

Little jellyfish.

The moment Xiao Wu fluttered his wings and flew out, Qiao Bai seemed to hear the sound of his heart beating again, and it seemed to become even more rapid.

Little Wu's gold-red eyes are particularly bright in dim places.

"Jiji?" Maomaochong stood on Qiao Bai's shoulder, looked left and right, and made a questioning voice, where is this place?

It feels weird!

The little white snake also wrapped around Qiao Bai a little tighter, as if it was frightened.

Only Xiaowu and Xiaojellyfish didn't feel anything at all.

Qiao Bai had a reasonable suspicion that Xiaowu didn't feel anything because the three-legged Golden Crow blood gradually awakened in his body, making Xiaowu fearless.

As for the little jellyfish... maybe it's because the nerves are big enough, so it doesn't feel anything either.

Little Jellyfish: "?"

The little jellyfish, suspected by Qiao Bai of being very nervous and therefore not afraid, tilted its head and expressed its doubts to Qiao Bai with its movements.

"Ahem." Qiao Bai put a fist against his lips with one hand, coughed twice, and decisively changed the subject: "Don't run around, everyone, this is an... not very safe place."

Seeing the subconsciously frightened actions of Maomao Chong and Little White Snake, Qiao Bai felt.

If they weren't intimidated by the atmosphere in the ancient tomb.

He could only be frightened by that extraordinary creature who didn't know where he was, but Qiao Bai could always hear his heartbeat.

Being so far away can scare the cats and little white snakes... Qiao Bai is doubtful about the safety of this ancient tomb.

He touched the heads of Cat, Cat, Bug and Little White Snake, and briefly calmed their emotions.

The tense situation of Maomao Chong and Little White Snake quickly eased.

The two little guys were mainly frightened suddenly.

After calming down, the little white snake didn't dare to move much, but the cat and cat bug had returned to its original appearance of jumping up and down.

It seems that he really wants to flex his muscles in this strange place and show his strength.

Cat Cat Bug: "Chi Chi!"

Ben Long was just scared!

Look, this dragon is coming to clear the way now!

This dragon is fearless!

Maomao Chong looked full of energy and wanted to avenge his shame.

Qiao Bai suppressed his backhand.

"good."

Qiao Bai pressed Maomao Chong's head with one hand and touched the well-behaved Xiao Wu with the other hand.

"Stay by my side at this time and don't always think about making trouble, otherwise I will directly lock you up in the small dark room." Qiao Bai smiled gently, but the threat was implicit in his words... Maomao Chong understood, and Maomao Chong knew that Qiao Bai's attitude was really serious this time.

Maomao Chong finally behaved well.

Quietly.

No noise or noise.

Maomao Chong: Admitting cowardice.jpg

The little white snake opened a pair of beautiful golden eyes and stared curiously in the direction of Maomao Chong.

Maomao Chong: "..."

Turning head.

Pretending not to see anything.

As long as Long didn't see it, it wouldn't be considered embarrassing in front of my little brother!

Qiao Bai: "..."

Okay, okay.

Just be happy.

Qiao Bai waved to the little jellyfish, and the little jellyfish also shrank and retracted obediently, floating beside Qiao Bai's ear, and at first glance it looked like a decorative pendant.

It was pretty good.

Xiao Wu followed Qiao Bai vigilantly, and Qiao Bai finally wandered around in the space where he was.

Why did I say before that this doesn't look like an ancient tomb from two thousand years ago... Because the building materials under Qiao Bai's feet and around him are not bricks, tiles, gold and jade, which are more in line with the times, but a light reddish-brown color, which looks like it was fired at first glance.

But if you really step on it, you will find that it is a hard, steel-like refined material.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Did people two thousand years ago have such a powerful means of refining steel?

Or does possessing extraordinary power really mean that you can do everything?

Qiao Bai was shocked.

Qiao Bai wandered around in this space.

He also saw several huge machines that occupied a large area. At first glance, he didn't know what they were used for, but after careful identification, they looked a bit like modern scientific instruments.

However, most of the circuit structures in them are mechanical.

Qiao Bai circled around the machine in the middle, which was also the largest machine with the most mechanical parts, for several times.

The expression on his face became more and more shocked and unbelievable.

"This is really..." It's unbelievable.

Although two thousand years have passed, these machines are all broken from the inside out and cannot be used, and their true functions are unknown.

But based on the fineness and complexity of the parts structure, Qiao Bai could imagine how spectacular it would be to use these machines when they were still good.

The taste of steampunk was instantly there.

"These positions should be where some energy is placed, right?" Qiao Bai turned around a few more times and nodded thoughtfully.

There are five blank positions on this huge machine that are very abrupt.

There is no structure inside.

But looking at its specific appearance, it doesn't seem to be because of the corrosion of the years, which has worn away the parts that should have existed.

Then there is only one possibility - the starting energy of this machine is a very magical energy.

For example... the energy crystal in the body of a supernatural creature?

Qiao Bai thought uncertainly.

He took out five energy crystals and placed them where he thought the energy source was placed.

Waiting quietly.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Five minutes.

Qiao Bai sighed.

"Alas, it's not as simple as I imagined. The attempt failed."

The energy crystal can't provide energy for this huge, towering machine, nor can it make this machine that has been on strike for two thousand years start working again.

Qiao Bai shook his head and put away the energy crystals he took out.

"Chiji!"

The cat and cat bug looked at the energy crystals in Qiao Bai's hand and showed a greedy expression.

Qiao Bai: "...It's as if I've been starving you. I've never seen you not greedy for anything."

Helplessly tapping the cat and cat bug's forehead twice, Qiao Bai still fed two of the energy crystals suitable for the cat and cat bug's attributes to the cat and cat bug, and the other pieces were also divided between Xiao Wu and Xiao Baishe, and finally the little jellyfish...

"This is a water-attributed energy crystal. You should be able to absorb it. Try it?" Qiao Bai said to the little jellyfish uncertainly, holding a piece of aqua blue crystal.

Theoretically, it should be possible.

But the little jellyfish's situation is quite special!

The little jellyfish doesn't care.

Food?

Try it.

The little jellyfish opened its jellyfish shell and swallowed the energy crystal in Qiao Bai's hand in one gulp.

Chew, chew, chew--chew, chew--the little jellyfish tilted its head, and it suddenly raised two tentacles in the direction of a void--sizzle!

A water column as thick as a wrist spurted out.

Then.

The water magically disappeared into the void.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Little Wu: "!"

The cat, cat, bug and little white snake tilted their heads stupidly, as if they didn't react to what happened.

Instead, the little jellyfish that made the water spraying action, retracted and retracted, calmly returned to Qiao Bai's side as if nothing had happened, and happily waved its eight tentacles at Qiao Bai.

Eat!

Eat more!

The little jellyfish accurately conveyed this meaning.

Qiao Bai: "... No more, just stored a few pieces."

"There are other things to eat."

After all, the card pool can only store things that are drawn, and these energy stones are all brought in by Qiao Bai himself.

There are really not many.

Fortunately, little jellyfish are not picky about food, as long as it is edible, it will eat anything!

The little jellyfish waved its tentacles happily and ate heartily.

Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu were very concerned about the disappearance of the water column just now.

It would definitely not work to let the little jellyfish do it again. Qiao Bai turned his eyes to the little white snake: "Try it, spray water?"

Qiao Bai said uncertainly.

He didn't know whether the situation just now was special because the little jellyfish obviously didn't have water attribute skills.

Or it was because the situation in this ancient tomb was special.

Fortunately, Qiao Bai still had a pet that could spray water, and he would know after trying it.

The little white snake looked a little hesitant.

Unlike Xiao Wu, who was not afraid at all, the stupid and bold little jellyfish, and the cat and cat bug who had recovered because face was more important than fear.

The little white snake was still trembling, tightly wrapped around Qiao Bai's arms and neck.

It seemed that it could draw a sense of security from Qiao Bai in this way.

Looking at the little white snake like this, Qiao Bai didn't know what to say.

I could only touch the little white snake's head and put this idea aside for the time being. I will have a chance to study what is going on later.

I have already walked around this room.

Qiao Bai took out his mobile phone and took hundreds of photos of the mechanical equipment in the room, capturing every detail and recording a video.

Twenty minutes passed after this process.

Qiao Bai put away his mobile phone.

He walked outside.

Then, Qiao Bai looked at the dozen intersections at the door with a confused expression on his face.

No?

What kind of ancient tomb maze is this?

There are no fatal mechanisms, but there are fatal mazes, right?

Qiao Bai was not in a hurry.

He closed his eyes and listened attentively.

Bang-bang-bang-

The heartbeat continued, beating slowly.

Qiao Bai walked around several intersections.

This one is not good, it's a bit far.

This one seems to be closer, but the heartbeat next to it is closer.

Qiao Bai moved his footsteps little by little. Among several very close intersections, Qiao Bai closed his eyes, chose the direction where his heartbeat was the loudest, and stepped into that intersection.
