Chapter 78: The Second Floor of the Relic
Chapter 78: The Second Level of the Relic
With the well-equipped Goblin Mobile Armored Unit winning successive battles, the second level of the relics that were filled with monsters gradually opened up to Owen, after all, these monsters were not difficult to deal with as long as they found a way to target them, but instead, they allowed him to obtain quite a few useful materials.
The body fluids of the vinyl worms were obviously extremely useful, even without any processing, they were excellent accelerants and bomb materials.
The skin on the back of the black-backed rat was a good material for leather armor, although Owen couldn’t accept it, the kobolds didn’t mind it.
The armor of the Thorn Spider was even better, not only was it strong, but it was also very tough, and its weight was much lighter than that of metal, so it was a good material if it was slightly modified.
Because of these harvests, Owen decided not to kill these monsters.
Because of the increasing advantage, the second floor of the ruins finally finished cleaning up.
Because of Owen’s importance, the Goblin Assault Soldiers were very cautious in the process of cleaning up the monsters, many times they attracted the monsters out and then rounded them up, so they didn’t cause any serious damage to the second floor of the relics, but time itself was the best burier, too much was erased, how much more could be preserved was anyone’s guess.
Wearing power armor shrouded in golden light, with a full-coverage helmet, and carrying a warhammer, Owen came in and realized that he had been nervous for nothing, as everything here had long since decayed beyond recognition, and was devoid of life, not to mention danger.
Owen wasn’t careless about it though, otherwise he wouldn’t have kept the Teutonic warrior away from here with Char.
Neither the Teuton warrior nor Char had special blood, who knew what would happen if they were induced to mutate.
Owen dared to come in because he was surrounded by cannon fodder, and because he had the sacred power-enhanced power armor, his safety was still guaranteed.
A lantern grass was hung around by the Goblin Assault Soldiers, allowing Owen to gradually be able to see the environment here.
The place where he was right now should only be a part of the second floor of the ruins, it was expanded by relying on the underground cavern as a base, so the space was not small, almost as big as two gymnasiums.
This place should be similar to a greenhouse, because the ground is covered with a thick layer of soil, there are man-made hills, obviously these should not appear in the cave, just the original lush vegetation has long been turned into dust, scattered broken bones can not be seen in the original shape is still barely proved that here originally still live some creatures.
But I don’t know what happened, this place has long been deserted, and everything has turned into dust.
If it was just like this, it wouldn’t have triggered the mutation, so the source of the mutation hadn’t been found, so Owen immediately ordered the Goblin Assault Troopers to spread around to look for the anomaly.
In fact, it is not difficult, the kobold raiders soon in the entire space in the center of the location of the anomaly, here on the ground slanting a person-high diamond-shaped green emerald, at this time bright and dark a look of the culprit, so people want to ignore it is difficult.
From the landing place turned on the soil to see, obviously this green emerald originally should be suspended in the air, in the loss of buoyancy before falling down inserted in the soil.
The stalactites scattered on the side, as well as the obvious cracks on the green emerald, made Owen guess how it all happened.
When the kobolds dismantled the second floor of the ruins, they accidentally caused the stalactites to break off, and they also happened to smash on this piece of green emerald, leading to the leakage of the internal energy that could cause the mutation of the living creatures, which caused all of this. Although it was only Owen’s speculation, unless someone was laying suspicion, his guess should be true.
Understand just a false alarm, but Owen on the degree of importance of this relic rose not a little bit half a point, after all, just a greenhouse-like place used to guide the mutation of the green emerald caused such a big commotion, then the whole relic hidden secrets in the end how amazing?
No one can estimate, Owen also can not, so the best way is to take the entire relic in their own hands.
Next Owen found a huge crystal ball at the top of the cave, about the same circumference as an eight centimeters table, very amazing.
And it looked like it was an irradiation device used to provide the plants and animals here with the light they needed to grow, as there were also lines around it that acted as a similar power supply.
These discoveries caused the little bit of pride that had grown within Owen due to his increased strength to once again be suppressed to nothing.
The green emerald that caused the mutation of plants and animals could be said to be a natural mineral with special radiation, but the crystal ball and the power supply device that could mimic the release of sunlight was undoubtedly not something that a backward civilization could produce, even if it was by means of magic.
“Perhaps magic is no different from technology after a certain level of development.” Owen somewhat lamented that this world was really too unfriendly to travelers, because you simply don’t know how deep the water in this world is, maybe just going out to make waves with full confidence, you just stepped on a foot and fell into a ditch.
“Sure enough, choosing Gou to slowly develop in the Northlands was the right thing to do, given enough time, I can create an impregnable shelter.” Owen muttered, this made him more and more convinced that his decision was right, as long as he was meticulous enough, the storms in the outside world couldn’t affect him.
This place had been erased too much by time, but the things that still remained were still valuable, so Owen had the kobolds carefully look to dismantle anything of value, and as for the green emerald that had caused the mutation, he was prepared to take it away himself.
Redeeming a lead box as thick as a coffin, Owen let the Goblin control the puppet to come over and put the green emerald into it, who thought that the green emerald also did not know whether it was the reason of a smash and fall, or because of the excessive release of energy caused by the changes in the internal structure, but it shattered, leaving only a fist-sized core.
At the time of the green emerald shattered, a much weaker fluctuation was released again, Owen power armor indicated that the golden light brightness increased for a moment and then recovered again, apparently not affected in any way, the sacred power of the enchantment is far better than he imagined, and the eyes of the surrounding kobolds have become more animated, and apparently gained a lot of benefits again.
Although shattered, but also let Owen sure that the mutation is the green emerald caused, so he did not even let go of a little fragment, all take away.
Under the kobolds’ digging and searching, some buried places were gradually excavated, even including a passageway that went deep inside the ruins.
Owen didn’t intend to go deeper into the ruins, still following the original plan, going in and demolishing as much as he could, leaving everything exposed to the sunlight.
However, through these things, Owen realized that this place was indeed used to cultivate plants and creatures as he thought, as many things he had seen in greenhouses, except that this place was more oriented towards the cultivation of special creatures, and some of the implements were so odd that he couldn’t figure out the purpose.
Next, he found a few more storage-like spaces, but there were only a few implements left inside that were worthless, the only thing that caught his attention was a huge bronze book.
