Chapter 232: Uninvited Guest

Standing in front of the console for more than ten minutes, Lin Lichuan finally determined the specific location to which the information pointed, to be precise, it was not in the console, but a metal square plate about thirty centimeters away from the console above the wall where the console was clinging.

He tried to knock, and the touch and sound of the metal square proved that the metal square was hollow behind it.

Seeing this, Lin Lichuan only hesitated for half a second, and then decided to disassemble violently.

After all, there are at least three hundred buttons and levers on the console, not to mention how much work it takes to try them one by one, even if he is willing to take the time to try, there is no way.

Much of the control room was dark, and it was clear that the energy had been depleted over the years, and it was no longer operational.

After making a decision, Lin Lichuan did not delay at all, and immediately controlled the cherry blossoms around him to float towards the metal square plate, and began to cut along the gaps.

The harsh sound of metal friction suddenly sounded in the control room, and the metal square plate was completely shrouded in cherry blossoms, and a large number of sparks could be vaguely seen inside.

The metal material used to build this control room obviously will not be ordinary steel, Lin Lichuan had expected it, but when he actually started it, he found that the hardness of the metal square plate was beyond expectations, even if he aimed at the most vulnerable square plate joint, it still took half an hour to complete the cutting.

Replaced with ordinary steel, these times are enough time for Senbon Sakura to cut off I don't know how many times.

Manipulating the petals to push the broken metal square plate down, and slamming it on the console, Lin Lichuan then looked at it, and sure enough, there was a hollow dark grid inside, with a ring slightly raised in the middle, and a dark gold square was placed at the inner end of the ring.

This block is completely different from the key block used to enter the ruins, with a side length of about 20 centimeters, almost the size of a basketball, and a smooth surface that looks like a rock.

Lin Lichuan looked at it for a moment, and then reached out to pick up the dark gold cube.

It's a little heavy to start with, and the texture is indeed somewhat similar to that of stone, but the density is not a little higher than that of most stones, after all, with his current strength, he can feel a little heavy, and the quality is not known.

"This thing doesn't look like a meteorite. ”

Looking at the strange dark gold cube in his hand, Lin Lichuan's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of doubt.

However, it is not only the meteorite that has information prompts, meteorite crystals and meteorite crystals also have them, but everything that contains meteorite energy will have a hint, and perhaps the dark gold cube belongs to the latter.

And the information that has disappeared in the lower right corner of the eye also proves this judgment.

"Speaking of which, those star beasts shouldn't have survived by absorbing the meteorite energy in this thing, right?"

Glancing at the corpse of the star beast not far away, the more Lin Lichuan thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

After all, apart from this dark gold cube, no other meteorite stones or anything like that were found in the entire temple.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Lichuan concentrated his mind and absorbed it silently in his heart, and suddenly felt a warm current slowly flowing in from the part where his palm was in contact with the square, and the speed was outrageously slow.

This scene made him stunned for a moment.

"What's going on?"

You must know that in the past, when absorbing and transforming meteorite stones and meteorite crystals, the whole process was completed in an instant, and the speed was so fast that there was almost no feeling of inflow, and there was never such a 'clear' experience as now.

Lin Lichuan opened his personal interface, looked at it intently, and found that as the strange warm current slowly flowed into the palm of his hand, the value of the spar column on the interface was gradually increasing, increasing by 1 spar every two or three seconds on average.

"Looks like it's going to take a while. Lin Lichuan muttered in a low voice.

Suddenly, his expression moved, and he turned his head sharply to look in the direction of the stairs, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Someone's coming?"

Just now, Lin Lichuan clearly noticed that there was suddenly a lot of aura in the dome space on the first floor, and although the other party tried his best to cover it, he was still aware of it the moment he entered the dome space.

"There are a total of twelve people, two of them have extremely weak breaths, looming, if it is not for the special ability to hide the breath, then the strength should not be weak, most of them are transcendents of the knight rank. ”

The question is, how did these people get in?

Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed slightly.

Of the three key blocks that entered the ruins, two were now on him, and the other was in the hands of the members of the Soul Court who were guarding the light gate outside the ruins, could it be that these people attacked the guards and then entered through the light gate?

Unlikely, his decision to enter the ruins was improvised, and his actions were stealthy and fast, and it was impossible for the high-level of the Soul Court to know about it, let alone follow the attack.

Then there is only one explanation left.

These people came in through an entrance and exit hidden somewhere in the ruins.

Maybe it's the entrance and exit in the depths of the lake, or maybe it's somewhere else, since there is already an entrance and exit in the ruins, it's not impossible to have one more.

In a flash, Lin Lichuan figured everything out.

He glanced at the dark gold cube in his hand, his heart moved slightly, and he looked up at the surrounding walls, and soon his eyes lit up.

Without hesitation, Lin Lichuan immediately lifted the swastika of Thousand Bonzakura, put the metal square plate back in its place, and at the same time put the corpse of the star beast on the ground into his backpack, and quickly cleaned up the bloodstains.

After doing all this, he leaped to his feet and landed lightly behind a large piece of equipment hanging from the wall on the right, where there happened to be a small space that only one person could enter.

Sitting quietly behind the equipment, Lin Lichuan restrained his breath, and while continuing to absorb and transform the dark gold cube, he quietly waited for the arrival of the group of uninvited guests.

......

On the first floor, in the extremely empty dome space.

The team cautiously walked in the darkness, cautiously observing their surroundings, and in addition to guarding, there was a look of shock on their faces that could not be concealed.

"It's too big a space, and the floor and walls are ...... What kind of construction technology is needed to create such a space?" Gu Xingsong muttered to himself with a shocked face.

Although the others did not respond, their faces involuntarily flashed with approval.

Even the two knights with the most extensive knowledge in the team, Lu Mengzheng and Liu Shuo, had never seen such a seamless metal wall and floor in their lives, let alone such a huge area, I am afraid that no country in the world has such construction technology.

Sensing that the team's attention was gradually drifting away, Liu Shuo suddenly shouted, "Stay vigilant, don't relax!"

"Yes!" everyone immediately came back to their senses when they heard the voice, and their hearts sank, and they whispered yes.

After a few seconds of silence, Gu Xingsong finally couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Liu, Teacher Lu, didn't the ancient books we got say that there are star beasts patrolling and guarding near this temple? Why didn't we meet half of the head along the way?"

Liu Shuo and Lu Mengzheng also frowned when they heard this, obviously they were also very confused in their hearts.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Mengzheng replied with some hesitation: "Maybe those star beasts have died out, after all, no matter how strong a monster is, it is impossible to survive for a thousand years in this desolate environment without food and water. ”

This explanation is reasonable, thinking of the desolate scene of broken walls and ruins they saw along the way, Gu Xingsong and Zhou Hongzhang couldn't help but nodded, and then they felt a little happy and happy in their hearts.

Originally, they thought that this trip to the ruins was extremely dangerous, after all, it was very likely that they would encounter a star beast whose strength was comparable to that of the Morning Star Knight, and it was with this in mind that Gu Xingsong and Zhou Hongzhang agreed to join forces, and paid a big price to invite Lu Mengzheng and Liu Shuo, two Morning Star Knights, and the guards in the same company were also very strong, including many gold-level transcendents.

Even though Gu Xingsong and Zhou Hongzhang are both top-ranked direct heirs in their respective families and have extremely high status, it took a lot of effort to set up such a team without being noticed by other competitors from their families.

But as long as you can get the treasure inside the ruins, it's all worth it.

Thinking of the richness of the rumored treasure of the Star Calamity Relic, Gu Xingsong and Zhou Hongzhang couldn't help but feel a touch of agitation and excitement in their hearts, after all, the two of them were elite direct descendants from a big family, and they were not carried away by greed, so they hurriedly took a light breath without a trace, forcibly suppressed the excitement in their hearts, continued to guard their surroundings, and moved forward carefully.

The march went smoothly beyond imagination, and the group arrived at the front of the stairs without any obstacles, Liu Shuo waved his hand indifferently, and two people in the team came out of the crowd, stepped on the stairs with solemn faces, and walked up one after the other.

About two minutes later, there was a low whistle from above.

Hearing this voice, the expressions of everyone in the team were slightly relaxed, and they immediately climbed the steps.

When they got to the top, it was no surprise that everyone was shocked by the high-tech layout in the control room.

After looking around, Gu Xingsong's eyes were quickly attracted by the skeleton sitting on the chair, he hurriedly stepped forward, looked carefully for a while, and his face gradually showed ecstasy, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Human-like, with two horns in the first birth, and fluorescent bones...... This is the skeleton of an extraterrestrial demon!"

When the words fell, Liu Shuo, Lu Mengzheng and Zhou Hongzhang were stunned together, and then quickly surrounded them.

Several people stared at the skeleton for a long time, their eyes gradually became hot, and after a while, Liu Shuo took the lead in breaking the silence, sighing and gently bowing his head: "That's right, it is indeed the skeleton of an evil demon outside the sky, exactly the same as described in ancient books." ”

Even with Liu Shuo's calmness and composure, he saw with his own eyes that the skeleton of the demon outside the sky was in front of him, and his breathing couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

Except for Gu Xingsong and the four of them, the other guards in the team had obviously never heard of the so-called Outer Heaven Demon Skeleton, and they couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this, revealing a blank look.

However, they soon sensed that the atmosphere in the control room was starting to get a little weird.

Liu Shuo's expression was still flat, Lu Meng was smiling, and Gu Xingsong and Zhou Hongzhang glanced at each other, their eyes flickering.
