"Hey, why are the things that were originally soaked in these jars gone?"
"Even if it has completely decayed over time, there should still be corresponding traces left, right?"
At this moment, Fei Ru, who was nearby, was observing the area for a while, and suddenly heard something strange.
Gao Yuan also looked confused when he heard this.
This is what worries him too!
"Please pay attention to the surrounding area. I will go over and check."
After a brief silence, he sent a message to Fei Ru.
"Okay!...You should also be careful!"
Upon hearing this, Feiru responded without hesitation, and then sent a message to remind her.
After receiving a positive response, Gao Yuan turned back and nodded towards the other party, then slowly came to the vicinity of these containers.
He did not touch the black stain on the ground, but activated the wind spell, and his whole body was suspended in mid-air more than one meter above the ground.
His eyes passed through the transparent outer wall of the largest of these containers and landed on the inner bottom of the latter.
It was found that apart from the somewhat sticky colloid sediment left behind after the unknown liquid dried up, there were not even a few fragments of the outer wall that collapsed after the transparent outer wall was broken.
Gao Yuan's heart moved at this, and he calmly came to the remaining broken containers, his eyes scanning inward one by one.
As a result, without exception, there are more or less fragments of the broken outer walls of these containers inside.
Seeing this, Gao Yuan had a vague guess in his heart.
In the last and largest container, there is only one possibility why there are no fragments left inside the container, except for the fact that it was cleaned up afterwards.
That is, this container was broken by something from the inside out!
As for the remaining containers, there are corresponding fragments in the containers and jars.
It is most likely because these containers were broken from the outside in!
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Yuan's gaze subconsciously turned not far away.
In an area seven or eight meters away from here, there is a whole row of cylindrical containers, ranging from small to large.
And in this row of containers, they all contain an unknown dark red liquid, which is soaked with body samples of different stages of a ferocious unknown creature.
Turning his gaze back to the row of broken containers in front of him, Gao Yuan sorted out the thoughts in his mind.
"Perhaps, the samples originally soaked in this largest container were not completely dead when they were put in."
"So after it regained mobility, it launched an attack from the inside out, causing a big hole in the container."
"It itself also ran out of the container along this big hole..."
"After this sample creature escaped, it saw its own kind in the row of containers next to it."
"So it stood outside these containers and broke the containers one after another from the outside to the inside, thus freeing all its kind."
"As for the container as big as a wine bottle at the front, the reason why it was spared is probably because what is sealed inside is a partial sample of this creature, and it has no characteristics of being alive, right?"
As his mind wandered, Gao Yuan patrolled the area carefully for a while.
During this period, he discovered some other clues one after another, which, in series with each other, further demonstrated the authenticity of his conjecture just now.
Then he did not hesitate and informed Fei Ru of this information through sound transmission.
…
"What you said makes sense. Judging from the appearance of the door to this room and the mess in the corridor outside, there must have been a fierce battle in this ruins!"
"However, judging from the completeness of the corridors outside and the duty status of the puppet guards, no matter how fierce the battle was here, the monster that ran out of that container should have been killed by the ancient monks.
Suppressed."
"Besides, if you look at the writings on the doors of these rooms, they are not from our era at all."
"This shows that the era in which this ruins was located was at least tens of thousands of years ago."
"Even if the escaped monster is still in this ruins, after such a long time, no matter what strength it had at the beginning, it will probably have decayed in the years."
Fei Ru and Gao Yuan were standing back to back at this time, each guarding one direction.
She listened carefully to Gao Yuan's analysis, and went to check it out herself during the period, so she fully agreed with Gao Yuan's conclusion.
At the same time, she retorted with some disagreement about Gao Yuan's worries after thinking about it for a while.
Gao Yuan heard this and thought about the same truth.
Unless that unknown creature has the attribute of immortality, no matter how strong it is, it may not be able to withstand the erosion of time.
After all, according to his understanding, even an expert who is as powerful as the Soul Realm only has a life span of two to three thousand years.
Although this time span is also long, it is still not enough in the face of the civilization era that often measures tens of thousands of years.
The ruins where the two of them are now are clearly not created by the human race, and are probably the product of at least ten thousand years ago.
Such a long time has passed, even the most powerful creatures may not be able to withstand it, right?
When he thought of this, Gao Yuan's slightly heavy mood relaxed a lot.
He briefly communicated with Fei Ru using his spiritual thoughts, and then continued to explore the room without further delay.
…
Before I knew it, more than two hours had passed.
Gao Yuan and the two first carefully inspected this huge room filled with transparent containers inside and outside.
It was found that except for the row of broken containers found earlier, all other containers in the room were intact.
The various sample materials soaked in various unknown liquids were all safe and sound, with no abnormalities whatsoever.
And with those examples of broken containers in the past, although both of them felt that no matter how magical the contents of these containers were back then, after long years of erosion, it is unlikely that anything would happen again now.
.
But before they had a thorough understanding of what exactly was in these containers, Gao Yuan and the others were cautious and did not take them out hastily.
In addition, the two of them also explored three additional rooms, which were also huge.
Although most of the things inside seemed to have been sorted and taken away.
But Gao Yuan still guessed the functions of these rooms through the layout of these rooms and the characteristics of various residual items scattered around.
I saw that in the center of these rooms, there was a long square platform thirty or forty meters long, seven or eight meters wide, and more than two meters high.
At the top of the room, there are also hangers with slide rails.
On both sides of the square platform, there are many strange-looking metal utensils scattered.
It gave him the feeling that these rooms should be assembly workshops for some kind of equipment.
Especially when Gao Yuan found some leftover materials from the square utensils he had found in the previous room on the ground in two of the rooms, he became even more firm in his judgment.
These two rooms should be the production workshops guarded by two kinds of puppets, 'far and near', in the corridor outside the production assembly!
What's strange is that the layout of the third room is obviously the same as the two rooms, and its size is even nearly twice as large as the latter.
But in this room, not even a trace of scraps from the embryo was found.
Seeing this, Gao Yuan unconsciously thought of that weird hidden puppet.
As well as those mysterious specimens in the previous room that disappeared directly after breaking the container and escaping.
Then his attention fell on the group of containers, the only unbroken wine bottle-shaped container.
The palm-sized piece of pale white material soaked in it is almost identical to the skin of those hidden puppets.
Now that I think about it, the slightest difference is probably due to the influence of the unknown light yellow liquid that soaked this piece of material.
…
As their thoughts turned, Gao Yuan and the two kept moving.
They continued along the corridor and finally came to the end of this huge corridor.
At the same time, two huge portals facing each other, one on the left and one on the right, caught the eyes of Gao Yuan and the two of them.
I saw that the two portals were open to each other, each revealing a dark space behind the portal.
Gao Yuan turned his head slightly and glanced at Fei Ru beside him.
After many times of matching with Hei, there was no need for redundant words at this time. The latter came to the wall diagonally behind in a tacit understanding and took up the vigilance action.
At the same time, Gao Yuan was also making preparations skillfully.
Along with his skillful chanting and kneading techniques, the surrounding void shook violently, and several defensive spells were cast one after another.
In the center of the corridor, close to the two portals, a solid temporary bunker was constructed.
Gao Yuan didn't waste any more time. He slowly walked to the door on the left, took out a moonlight talisman, shook his hand and threw it into the room.
Following his movements, this moonlight talisman with a stone talisman set rotated across the darkness in the room at high speed.
In a moment, it landed on something with a 'clack' sound.
Judging from its position, it should be a little over a meter above the ground, and between the Moonlight Talisman and Gaoyuan, it happens to be blocking a huge unknown object.
After the moonlight talisman flew by, the latter just flashed an outline quickly.
Before Gao Yuan could see clearly, the light emitted by the Moonlight Talisman was blocked by his body.
Only the light reflected from other directions cast a hazy and huge shadow around it.
After throwing the moonlight talisman, Gao Yuan still didn't rush to find out his spiritual thoughts.
He stood at the door and listened attentively for a moment, but finally found nothing unusual.
Just when he relaxed slightly and took out a moonlight charm again, he was about to throw it out with shaking hands.
He suddenly heard a faint "bang" from within this room.
In the meantime, there was also a slight "ho~ho~" sound.
The movements of his hands paused, and his attention suddenly focused on the direction in the room.
His gaze was dozens of meters away, at the hazy light and shadow reflected by the circle of moonlight symbols.
I saw that the latter was no different from when it fell before.
Gao Yuan saw this and instantly ruled out the possibility of the Moonlight Talisman slipping and impacting to make an abnormal sound.
When he thought of this, his heart tightened.
"Be alert, there's something going on!"
While he was paying close attention to everything in the room, he also sent a warning message to Fei Ru behind him.
At the same time, he leapt backwards and retreated to the temporary bunker he had built earlier.
"Okay...ah~!"
At this moment, Fei Ru, who was on guard not far away, just sent a message to respond, and then a exclamation came from his mouth.
At the same time, a strong sense of crisis suddenly flashed through Gao Yuan's heart. Combined with Fei Ru's exclamation behind him, he suddenly felt blessed.
He didn't even have time to activate the Wind Curse before he kicked the ground hard with one leg, and his body jumped five or six meters forward under the force of the counter-shock.
At the same time, under his guidance, the Gale Wind Curse was operating at full strength, taking his leaping body and forcefully moving sideways to the left.
Gao Yuan also took advantage of the situation and used the force to turn around on the surrounding wind wall, which was like a solid wall.
He just saw a huge tentacle that was missed because of his dodge.
This tentacle seemed to be hanging down from the roof. It was pale white without a trace of color.
Its size is extremely astonishing, the end part alone is over a foot in diameter!
Gao Yuan's body flashed one after another like a ghost, and he flew back more than twenty meters in an instant.
His eyes followed the thick tentacle upwards, and a huge thing that looked like a spider and a bit like an octopus came into view.
The tentacle that just dropped down to attack was just one of the more than ten tentacles of this monster.
What is different from these pale tentacles is that the center of this monster's relatively flat torso is covered with dark purple lines.
"Fuck!"
"What the hell is this?"
Gao Yuan was so shocked that he even forgot about the sound transmission and directly cursed.
At this moment, he suddenly saw the dark purple lines on the monster's torso twisting on their own as if they were alive.
At the same time, the monster's body also became weak.
"Ah~!"
Before Gao Yuan could react, a sharp and shrill scream suddenly sounded from the direction of the monster.
There seemed to be a mysterious energy fluctuation within it, which disturbed the void in front of him and stirred up huge ripples visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, Gao Yuan felt a chill all over his body, and an inexplicable chill that far exceeded anything before suddenly enveloped his body.
Even if the 'Guardian Shield' and 'Soul Seal' were surging and running at the same time, they could not completely isolate it.
The flow of real energy and blood energy in his body also became much stagnant during this process, and the running speed could not even reach half of its usual speed.
Even his spiritual power was greatly suppressed out of thin air.
Accompanied by a vast invisible shock, the power of his spiritual thoughts that was originally radiating outside was suppressed and retreated with difficulty.
During this process, the monster suddenly stretched out two tentacles.
Heading downwards, the two people who were suppressed and unable to move by this weird 'screaming' sound were entangled.
"not good!"
When Gao Yuan saw this, he secretly thought that something was wrong.
Although the true energy and blood energy in his body could still function on their own at this time, it was difficult for his spiritual thoughts to be coherent amidst the continuous screams.
Not to mention taking action to fight back at this time, even his thinking was a little intermittent.
Looking at the thick attacks that kept coming, he took advantage of the moment when his spiritual power was suppressed to return.
To the two nearest spherical battle puppets, he was given the order to spray and activate all the evil-proofing talismans, demon-suppressing talisman, blazing sun talisman and other talismans in stock.
"Kakaka..."
"Puff puff puff..."
Continuous activating sounds of circlips were mixed with dense activating sounds of talismans. Hundreds of different talismans erupted around Gao Yuan one after another.
The moment his body was enveloped in various energy flames, several mysterious energy auras spurted out from these talismans.
For a moment, Gao Yuan felt a dense "chichi" sound, and his control over his body and mind suddenly recovered.
He ignored the energy flames surging around him. In the state of 'Burning Blood', the solidified 'Protective Blood Light', combined with the 'Golden Light Spell' and 'Protective Paper' that had been used in actual combat before, will
His body was firmly protected in the center.
His gaze turned to the direction above his head, and he paused at the monster that was still screaming, and Gao Yuan's thoughts moved.
The 'Heart Curse' mode instantly casts the 'Soul Forbidden Curse', which goes straight towards the monster area on the opposite side.
"Buzz~!"
The faint buzzing sound turned into a hazy translucent light and shadow, shrouding the center of the monster's torso.
Affected by this, the screaming sound it made was also forcibly interrupted.
Gao Yuan was slightly relieved at this, and the power of his spiritual thoughts that had just been suppressed radiated out again.
After turning into a tentacle, it fell on Fei Ru, whose consciousness was already a little confused, and then shook it hard to wake it up.
At the same time, all the surrounding spherical battle puppets, guided by his spiritual thoughts, floated up and swarmed towards the monster.
