Chapter 52: Strange Things
The meeting inside the Source Tower didn't last long.
Although Rosser was a core member of the team assembled in the name of a breakthrough in the experiment, the long gathering would inevitably arouse Pelot's suspicions.
Moreover, the intruder and the forces behind it could attack at any time, and it would undoubtedly take time to find a way to remove the hidden danger on the ship.
In the end, only Rosser, Burns, and Yan Jing were left in the meeting room.
The female scholars who had been standing behind Rosser also retreated to the inside of the Source Tower at this time.
Rosser leaned back on the bench and raised his hand to signal Burns to take a seat, while looking at Yan Jing, who immediately realized that the next step was the main thing, and hurriedly struggled to get up and walked to the round table to sit opposite Burns.
This was the first time Yan Jing had observed this polymath of the Origins Sect up close.
His figure was not burly, it could even be said to be thin, his body was covered by a loose and ornate robe, a light gold mask engraved with mystical patterns covered the entire face, and even the hands that stretched out of his robe were wearing gloves woven of gold silk.
Not to mention the appearance, you can't even see the skin.
'It's so tightly covered, could it be that the body underneath has mutated after many experiments? ’
Yan Jing speculated maliciously, but did not rashly test the other party.
Rosser is bound to be transcendent if he can become the captain of the Channeling Light.
In the case that the other party's ability is unknown, Yan Jing, who finally got here, doesn't want to go.
What's more, it won't be long before someone will help him test the strength of these people.
"I've made a breakthrough in the experiment with psions."
Facing the two people in front of him, Rosser didn't hide it and said bluntly.
Psis?
Yan Jing didn't understand, and at the same time wondered why Rosser suddenly mentioned something that seemed completely unrelated to the current situation.
However, this did not prevent him from showing a bit of surprise like Burns.
Yan Jing's mouth was now bandaged twice, and he couldn't speak, and no one expected him to say anything.
"The Tracing School has spent nearly a hundred years exploring the relics left by otherworldly civilizations, and the Landis Ruins are undoubtedly one of the most special relics, as long as we can find a way to enter them, we may be able to find out the secrets of otherworldly civilizations, how they appeared, and what is the source of the annihilation sand that falls all the time in the wormhole......
The unknown invaders and hostile forces did not make Rosser feel the slightest nervousness, but when talking about the ruins of Lantis, his tone was with rare excitement.
Yan Jing's knowledge of this world is limited to the background of the event.
Now that Rosser mentions the ruins of Rantis in the event mission, he can't help but prick up his ears.
"According to the previously scheduled sailing speed, we should rush to the sand sea area where the ruins are located tomorrow morning, but now there is an accident, does the original plan need to be postponed......
Burns thought that Rosser was concerned that the original exploration plan might not be completed, and he couldn't help but explain.
"No, you're wrong, the ruins of Lantis are never in the sand sea, don't forget, those ruins come from otherworldly civilizations, they exist in other dimensions, not in our world, and many ruins found in the past have long verified this conjecture."
Before Burns could finish speaking, Rosser directly interrupted his inquiry, and then added,
"You're a fighter of the school, you may not know about the ruins, the end of the voyage I determined earlier was not because the ruins were there, but because the place was the most likely place for us to open the passage to the ruins, but now the situation is different!"
Not only was Yan Jing at a loss, but Burns was also full of surprise, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say.
"The spirit element is the key to opening the ruins, born from the soul of the creature, there are not many living materials on the ship, there are only a few suitable ones, so I need a suitable place to perform the ceremony, which is the coordinates calculated by the strange object NO.75 astronomical orbit, and in fact, the area we are in now is already within the alien space where the Landis ruins are located."
Rosser spoke to himself, not caring whether the two people next to him could understand it or not.
Burns was thoughtful when he heard this, Yan Jing only felt that the decoration in this conference room was quite good, and the hand he put under the table was subconsciously rubbing the buttons on his clothes, and he couldn't help frowning.
Yan Jing didn't like the feeling of being out of control.
This was the case with the two solo events arranged by the torch, and although Yan Jing participated in them, he was always extremely unfamiliar with both worlds, and could only respond to the events and missions, even if he didn't know the cause and effect at all.
It's a bad feeling to be led by the nose by some being!
It's just that now he really has no choice but to participate in it.
Fortunately, Rosser is not a scientific madman who is completely immersed in his own world, as the captain of the Follow-by, the leader of this expedition, at the end of the conversation, made a very straightforward summary,
"I need this battle, the madness and fierce fighting will make people's souls alive to some extent, and I will obtain enough spirit essence in death to forcibly create an energy field, believe me, that will definitely have a higher success rate than the original plan!"
Rosser said as he picked up a silver-gray metal box from under the table.
Yan Jing noticed that the surface of the box was covered with a large number of intricate patterns, and in the center was a string of black symbols, which looked particularly eye-catching because of its completely different color from the surface of the box.
"NO.163 SPACE BOX...... Are you going to take the lab straight into the ruins? ”
The first time he saw this box, Burns recognized its origin and asked in surprise.
"That's right, you should have seen a lot of information about the Landis Ruins, and there is a high probability that there is a source crystal artificially created by another civilization in that ruins...... Even if it's just a fragment, no, even a crumb, as long as I get a part of it, I can make a potion, and only in that special environment can this potion be made. ”
Ruber's voice was frenzied as his palm stroked the box.
Yan Jing on the side was glad that he had anticipated this situation in advance, so he deliberately injured his mouth.
The silence at the moment has become a normal thing, and you just need to pretend to be excited.
It's just that his eyes can't help but cast on the box, what Rosser cares about so much is actually a potion?
Toot ~ Toot ~
Sudden chirp.
Burns took out the communicator on his waist,
"What's the matter?"
"Sir, we found something unusual in the sand sea in the southeast, and it is suspected that a giant sand bat is approaching!"
"Giant sand bat...... The whole ship is on alert and ready to drive it away, so I'll come here. ”
Hearing the name of the giant sand bat, Burns's face changed suddenly, he stood up suddenly, and as if he thought of something, he said,
"It was a giant sand bat that attacked the merchant ship earlier, and it's very likely that the intruder got in through that opportunity!"
The implication couldn't be clearer.
The enemies hiding in the shadows have made a move!
