Even if it was to maintain the mystery and grandeur of the Tomb complex, there was no need.
Long-term maintenance of so many lotus lanterns and this scale of suspended stairs also consumes scarlet tears.
If it was just an auxiliary energy space, then the mystery and grandeur would be completely superfluous.
Let me ask, would you turn your home's power distribution room into a low-key, luxurious, and meaningful princess room?
Mingxi certainly wouldn't.
If it were her, a sturdy but simple metal ladder would be good enough.
So, if there's truly something fishy about this Tomb complex's energy tomb chamber, the problem is most likely with these floating stairs. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
She wasn't a tomb raider, nor did she know the “Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art,” so she couldn't determine if there were any mechanisms or profound mysteries on these steps.
She crudely and directly manipulated the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform to spin along the edge of the stairs, directly flipping to the back of the stairs.
The view inverted and inverted again, the world shifted and shifted again.
Everything within sight completely changed.
The originally dim and cold space was now as bright as day.
She was in a small stone chamber, and the circular walls were adorned with murals depicting ancient Transcendent creatures.
It was unknown what materials were used, but after tens of thousands of years, these paintings still retained their vivid brightness and colors, as if the giant beasts in the paintings could come alive at any moment.
“Master, it can basically be confirmed that this is an ancient tomb now, right? I just don’t know why there are such obvious human traces here. Could it be that human civilization already existed in ancient times?”
Guangguang's tone sounded very puzzled.
“Not necessarily. From ancient times to the current Beast Taming civilization, there has been a very obvious fault line in between. No one can be sure that no other civilizations existed during that fault line.
Moreover, this isn't Blue Star.
If the Mystic Ground is truly a fragment of a certain planet or continent, then the existence of civilized traces here is perfectly normal.
This Tomb complex, however, is more like something built by a civilization that extended from the late ancient period, like a form of ancient worship.”
Mingxi, however, thought that the possibility of this Tomb complex being from an ancient civilization was very small, because the time was simply too long ago.
What could remain for thousands or tens of thousands of years without turning to dust?
So far, she had only seen Little Silver Flower and the fragments of the ancestral dragon's eggshell.
A Tomb complex, even if the various technologies at that time were at their peak, it would be absolutely impossible for such a vast and structurally complex Tomb complex to be preserved so perfectly.
Even if it didn't become ruins, it should at least not be in such a complete and intact state as it is now.
“You are right.” Guangguang immediately realized the problem as well.
Take this stone chamber as an example: even with good ventilation, the murals showed virtually no signs of fading or oxidation, which was already very unreasonable.
Even if they had been blessed with some special Transcendent ability, the ability would slowly lose its effectiveness over time and could absolutely not be maintained for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Mingxi put away the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform and stepped down from the stone platform she was on.
No matter what the situation was here, it didn't hinder her surging emotions at this moment.
“thousand life stone.”
That's right, there was also a thousand life stone in this stone chamber, and many rare flowers and exotic plants had already grown on it, roughly counting a hundred precious species.
Should she take it?
Isn't that obvious?
Although she wasn't a tomb raider, she wasn't a fool who wouldn't take things she saw.
She put on her gloves and carefully began to remove the mature flowers, plants, and materials from the thousand life stone. She didn't hesitate to put this part into her spatial ring.
Even though she knew that once these precious materials were placed in the spatial ring, one-tenth of them would be converted into energy.
But this was her responsibility as a support offering.
However, the thousand life stone itself was another matter. Even a slight loss could damage its integrity, causing it to lose its ability to continue nurturing rare treasures.
So, after harvesting the mature materials, she put the thousand life stone into the Time Realm.
After the thousand life stone disappeared, nothing happened in the stone chamber that would have given Mingxi a hard time; there were no arrows flying, nor was there any rampant poison gas.
Mingxi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed she hadn't guessed wrong; this thousand life stone should have formed naturally after the tomb was built.
As for the other item in this stone chamber.
Mingxi glanced at the display stand in the center of the room, on which sat an exquisitely crafted jade box.
The jade box material was very special; it was actually gilded and semi-transparent. Through the layers of jade, one could vaguely see liquid flowing inside the box.
A familiar small black beast was sprawled on the lid. It lay there lazily, but its eyes seemed to be staring directly at Mingxi, flickering with an eerie light.
One look and you knew that inside this box was either something deadly or something completely harmless.
Considering the importance of her own life, Mingxi decided to pretend not to see it.
She only glanced at it before decisively turning and walking towards the exit below the side mural.
After turning around and peeking with her small mirror, Mingxi noticed that the small beast on the jade box actually turned its head to follow her, and its eyes shot out two eerie green rays of light.
Oh my goodness.
Horror movies wouldn't even dare to portray this.
Mingxi pedaled her short legs like fiery wheels.
“Bang!”
She pushed open the stone door, and what appeared before her was a magnificent and grand tomb...
Two hours later.
Mingxi, adhering to the principle of absolutely not touching what shouldn't be touched and absolutely not leaving anything that could be taken to burden the tomb, had thoroughly searched all the tomb chambers she passed through.
Her luck might be turning around; it wasn't long before she, without a teacher, intuitively found the main tomb chamber.
To her surprise, the owner of this tomb was actually human, and it was a joint burial tomb for a husband and wife.
Mingxi found the bodies of a man and a woman in the anhun coffin of the main tomb chamber.
anhun coffin is also a type of Transcendent creature, a Ghost-type coffin. The corpse-coffins they leave behind after death have extremely strong preservation functions, so they are usually used to preserve bodies.
That's right, it's a corpse inside a corpse.
Even on Blue Star, where cremation is universally practiced, there are still many people secretly burying their dead in anhun coffin.
They probably hope that society will develop to the point where the dead can be resurrected.
“Rumble!”
The sound of an explosion rang out again. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
This was the eighteenth explosion Mingxi had heard since entering this tomb.
Mingxi had noticed other people here when she entered this grand tomb.
Because several tomb chambers had very obvious fresh traces left by Transcendent creature abilities.
There were also human footprints.
Moreover, from the traces, it was determined that there was definitely more than one person in this grand tomb.
This meant that when they were drawn into this Tomb complex, other support offerings were very likely to have encountered the same situation.
And these people should have been teleported into this grand tomb from the very beginning.
Only she entered from outside the tomb.
And it seemed these people hadn't been separated from their pet beasts.
