At that time, she was very likely to be trapped in this cursed place forever.
It wasn't her wild guess; her sixth sense was sometimes very accurate.
Indeed, it was accurate.
Just as Mingxi finished bowing to the tombstone, a stone brick at her feet suddenly made a 'clunk' sound.
It revealed a small golden ring embedded in the stone slab.
Mingxi's eyebrows twitched.
"So... I really guessed correctly?"
She was a bit dazed.
She squatted down and [N O V E L I G H T] gently pulled the small ring.
"Rumble."
A large section of the floor tiles moved, revealing a downward staircase.
Lamps also lit up on both sides of the steps.
Oh, wow.
Sound-activated sensor lights? Or ever-burning lamps?
Mingxi had nothing to agonize over, hesitate about, or repeatedly confirm whether it was a trap; she took out the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform.
She sat directly on it and then controlled it to move downwards.
With safe and reliable transportation, why would she bother her own two legs?
After Mingxi had fully entered, the open hole above her head closed with a bang.
The lights on both sides of the steps flickered, elongating and shortening Mingxi and the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform's shadows.
"Whoosh..."
In the dark, sealed space, even with lights, it still felt a bit eerie.
There were no handrails or walls on either side of the steps; it was completely suspended.
So, the question is.
What's with those lights?
Friends who have robbed tombs must have already thought of it; that's right, they were floating in mid-air out of nowhere.
Mingxi maneuvered the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform to fly up, and the lamps in front of her were exquisitely crafted.
The base was in the style of a jade golden lotus platform, and on one of the lotus petals squatted a familiar small black beast. Its mouth was open, and every minute, a drop of blood-red oil would drip down into the lotus heart.
"Guangguang, scan what kind of oil this is?"
Guangguang was already accustomed to helping Mingxi with whatever it could, provided it didn't violate its own programming principles.
Soon, it told Mingxi:
"Master, this should be corpse oil refined from the corpse of a Transcendent creature called Oil Scarlet Tear, known as scarlet tears.
This corpse oil, when burned, does not produce toxic or harmful gases; instead, it calms the mind, nourishes the spirit, replenishes qi and blood, and is rumored to have the effect of communicating with and purifying the deceased.
However, the Transcendent creature Oil Scarlet Tear has long since gone extinct."
No need to think, it was yet another species that met its demise because it was a treasure in itself.
Mingxi did not touch the lotus lamps, even though each of them was an item.
Yes.
They were all items.
Otherwise, there's no way they could Float perfectly in mid-air without any support.
Those scarlet tears were not only used for illumination but also likely served as the item's energy source.
She also had no intention of collecting these scarlet tears.
No matter how precious it was, corpse oil was still corpse oil.
She didn't need to have trouble with corpse oil.
What about communicating with and purifying the deceased?
Aren't the so-called deceased in this world just Ghost-type Transcendent creatures?
Mingxi couldn't quite understand why she had clearly been reborn into an interstellar Beast Tamers world, but it suddenly switched to a tomb raiding channel.
It must have been a channel mix-up.
Mingxi smiled wryly, controlling the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform to continue downwards. After she passed, the lotus lamps would quickly extinguish.
It was quite energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
The steps kept going down, and Mingxi was in a good state of mind, not feeling the slightest anxiety or unease.
Perhaps the so-called scarlet tears really did have the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the spirit.
"Master, Jinli Shura's energy pellet has been taken! It also left a message for you!"
Guangguang shouted excitedly.
Mingxi immediately perked up; the Time Realm's spatial ability was also a bit invincible.
Her Pet Space couldn't even connect to Golden Yuanbao and their contracts, but the Time Realm could.
"That's great!"
She quickly took out the paper Emerald Green had left behind. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Little Human, I am safe for now.
I suspect I am in the outer perimeter of a tomb, because I found many suspected Asura skeletons."
Mingxi gasped.
Many Asura skeletons?
Had Emerald Green been summoned by its ancestors?
Don't panic, keep reading.
"I found some energy crystals and energy fruits here that I haven't seen before. They contain both dark and light auras simultaneously. I think they should be Ashura energy crystals and energy fruits.
Considering your mission, I haven't put them into the Time Realm yet; I need you to make a decision."
"Also, I sense that the main tomb chamber should have something that would greatly benefit my strength, so I'm preparing to explore it. What do you think?"
Mingxi thought it should wait for her to arrive; exploring alone, ah no, tomb raiding alone, was too dangerous.
But then again, besides being able to confirm that Emerald Green was in those rhomboid tombs on the periphery, she had no way of identifying its exact location or which tomb it was in.
So, why would she make it wait for nothing?
She ultimately couldn't object; limiting her own pet's ambitions was not what a Beast Tamers should do.
She could only leave a message, "Okay, but you must be careful! Just put the energy crystals and energy fruits directly into the Time Realm. There are others in this Tomb complex besides us, so let's not cause any extra trouble."
Mingxi hadn't forgotten Ni Heta and his Lingyan Dragon Lion, even though she had snatched his spatial ring.
Theoretically, even if he gained more resources, he couldn't take them away, but who knew if he would become desperate and think, 'If I can't have it, no one else can.'
So, it's better to put them directly into the Time Realm; there's no need to suffer a great loss over the issue of resource conversion.
She wasn't that noble.
Upon receiving the reply, Emerald Green quickly took action.
Guangguang was astonished, "This really is... quite a lot!"
Inside the Time Realm's storage room, over three hundred energy crystals had appeared, and they were all of high quality and considerable size!
Each one was as big as the round stone bollards used to block cars on the streets in the plaza.
It was incredibly outrageous!
Energy fruits were relatively fewer, but there were still 48 of them.
Could this so-called 'a little' be the legendary 'a lot'?
"Emerald Green most likely entered the tomb of a powerful Asura, and its being sent in there probably wasn't accidental."
Mingxi moved downwards while analyzing based on the existing information.
Although she couldn't be entirely sure yet, "Golden Yuanbao and the others might also have been teleported to a tomb corresponding to their own attributes."
In other words, the outer ring of the Ferris Wheel Tomb complex was most likely a beast burial ground.
"Master, Ming Ye Yu Huang also has news!"
Mingxi was surprised again. She wasn't surprised at all that Emerald Green was the first to find her message; it was the smartest of the seven.
But she really didn't expect Golden Yuanbao to be the second to send a message using the Time Realm.
Had Xiao Ye secretly grown smarter behind her back?
