Chapter 208 Meditation Cushion (Part Two)

Jin had long suspected that this place, called "Yundu Beifu," was a villa area where Force warriors lived.

Two distinct levels:
The villas on the far east side are the real seaside villas, with beaches and sea views. Each villa has a larger area and more magnificent architecture, making them the most upscale villa estates.

Those who live in such villas must be the most extremely wealthy or powerful.

In the same community, if you move a little further west, there's no beach or view of the sea at the back; it's a lower grade, and the houses are much smaller.

Force warriors who live in such villas are all a level lower in terms of status, evolutionary level, wealth, and power.

Therefore,
In the far east, the chances of finding good stuff are greater in those large villas that are truly right by the sea.

...

What they're digging up is this villa.

Kim personally supervised the construction on site.

They quickly dug into the villa area. Lords Jin Nan and Xue Guo sensed the direction and pointed out that a tunnel led directly to the second-floor window.

The insects climbed through the window and entered the building.

Jin is the fastest, and with his blinking ability activated, he rushes straight to the top floor.

"..."

The metal door to the meditation room on the top floor was tightly closed. I pushed it with my paw, but it was locked.

The four lords, Blood Fruit, White Cang, Tuanhua, and Golden Nan, followed closely behind.

"Can't open it?"

"Can't open."

"These nest chambers are sealed."

"Yes."

Commander Jin said, "This kind of door has a mechanical structure and can be opened from the inside. Lord Jin Nan, there are three metal switches behind the door. Turn them to open it. Try sensing it."

"it is good!"

Lord Jin Nan agreed, stepped forward, touched the metal gate with his tentacles, and focused his mental energy to scan and sense it.

The other insects retreated on their own.

After waiting for a few seconds,
Three clicking sounds came from inside the metal gate as the metal mechanism turned. Jin Nanling's internal metal energy gathered into two forward-leaning horns, which forcefully pushed open the gate with two loud bangs.

The interior structure is similar to the meditation room on the roof of the previous villa, but the interior decoration is brownish-red, and the array of primal energy patterns on the floor is grayish-brown.

A clean space that has not been soaked in water.

The insects unleashed their spiritual power, scanning the center of the space. Finding no meditation cushion, their spiritual power shifted, and they looked around, only to be greatly disappointed. It was completely empty.

"..."

"Nothing?"

"Nothing at all!"

"Another empty nest?"

"why?"

Lord Tuanhua advised, "It seems the Force warriors residing in this chamber are not here. Look around; it's empty, with not many items."

"?"

The insects were puzzled, and at the same time, they turned their mental energy to scan downstairs. Sure enough, the rooms, large and small, had obviously been cleaned, and there were very few things inside.

"Is it hidden in an underground treasure vault?"

Lord Jin Nan led the way and rushed downstairs.

Each of the two side buildings on either side of the main building has a vertical shaft leading to the underground.

They arrived at the basement entrance on the left. Tuanhua and Lord Bai Cang worked together to quickly clear the accumulated water from the ground, and the insects entered the basement. Lord Jin Nan stepped forward and violently smashed open the 'treasure vault' door.

Like the previous villa, the 'treasure vault' was filled with 1000 original crystal storage boxes.

A quick check revealed that all the boxes were empty.

Returning to the vault on the ground where the armor and weapons were stored, it was found to be completely empty.

It's quite obvious that the owner of this villa doesn't live here. This is a tourist resort, and this kind of situation is perfectly normal in the entire villa area.

Jin convened a brief meeting with the insects and numbered the four villas that had been excavated so far as number 01 to 04.

All the harvested items were moved to the quiet room on the top floor of Ruins 04 and stored there, with a squad of ants assigned to guard them.

After working underground for several days in a row, everyone's energy and physical strength were nearly exhausted, and their mental state was not very good.

Jin told them to return to the surface to rest for a night, eat and drink their fill, and recharge before going underground again.

We continued digging north along the main road leading to Ruins 04, and after about 1 kilometer, we indeed found another fork in the road leading east. Following that fork, unsurprisingly, we unearthed another high-end luxury villa.

He climbed through the window and scanned the area with his mental energy. He immediately sensed something was wrong and headed straight for the meditation room on the top floor. Sure enough, it was empty and there was nothing there.

After cleaning up the water in the basement, they opened the "treasure vault" to check. This time it was even worse; the underground "treasure vault" was empty, without even an empty original crystal storage box.

A completely empty nest.

In order, it is simply named Relic No. 05.

Following the road, they continued digging north and soon found site number 06, which was still empty.

They returned to the surface, rested for a night, and continued digging northward.

Similarly, a little over 1,200 meters ahead, another luxurious villa was discovered.

The insects, familiar with the place, climbed through the window and entered. Scanning the area with their mental energy, they discovered a large number of remaining household items, clearly indicating that alien warriors lived there. They exclaimed that something was amiss and rushed straight to the top floor.

Lord Jin Nan stepped forward to unlock the door, violently ramming it open.

The primal energy, like that of a vast ocean, rushed towards us, sweeping over us with a roaring, surging wave.

The excited insects all raised their antennae, instinctively on guard.

In the very center of the meditation room stands a throne cast in silver-gray and silver-white metal, adorned with various marine creature carvings and decorated with water and cloud patterns.

On the throne sat a human skeleton covered in dark blue and icy white patterns, its head hollow and eye sockets facing the gate, as if gazing deeply across millions of years.

The primal energy within the sealed chamber dissipated, and the corpses, as if evaporated, quickly turned into dust, dissipating with the surging primal energy.

The insects instinctively felt a chill run down their spines, their bodies shivering. Gazing at the throne, they hesitated, not daring to move forward.

"..."

"Is there any danger?"

Lord Bai Cang broke the silence.

"Force Convergence Shield..."

The Lord of the Cluster Flowers swayed its tentacles, gently pointing to the side of the throne.

A meditation cushion, entirely sea blue and covered with silver-white patterns, fell to the side of the throne, its luster shining as if it were brand new.

"The smoke has cleared up, everyone don't need to be afraid..."

Lacking confidence, Blood Fruit Lord suggested, "Fire Tube, you command the soldier ants to go up and retrieve the item."

"it is good!"

Fire Tube gave a brief reply and waved its tentacles to issue instructions.

Five soldier ants burrowed into the building and quickly went upstairs.

The Zerg warriors instinctively retreated, keeping a safe distance, and secretly used their mental powers to spy on the situation.

Under the command of the fire tube, five soldier ants formed a battle team, ran into the meditation room, headed straight for the throne, and the lead soldier ant picked up the meditation cushion, turned around and ran out.

The other four soldier ants jogged around the throne twice without any problems.

Huotong took the meditation cushion and handed it to Jin.

"Mr. Jin, please check this."

"it is good!"

Jin took the meditation cushion and examined it. He quickly found the right spot, infused it with his mental energy, completed the contract, and then took out five primal crystals from the back armor. He manipulated them with his mind and successfully stored them in the dimensional space of the cushion.

The Force was replenished, the meditation cushion was fully activated, and after checking the holographic screen, it was confirmed to be correct.

This is also a top-tier meditation cushion, with a unique effect called 'Sea God's Domain'. It can initially convert ordinary Force into comprehensive water-based Force, helping to accelerate the absorption and conversion rate.

"Another well-preserved and usable 'Force Convergence Shield'! The accompanying auxiliary effect is comprehensive water-based, making it more applicable to a wider range of situations."

Jin calmly summarized, gazing intently at the throne, his mental energy repeatedly scanning it. The throne and the metal floor were one, forming a link in the array of runes that gathered primal force.

"The most valuable treasure is already in our grasp; there's nothing else of value. Let's not disturb the rest of the alien powerhouse. Lord Jin Nan, close and lock the door."

"it is good……"

Lord Jin Nan hesitated before agreeing, then activated his metallic energy, causing the two large doors to slowly close. He touched the door surfaces with his tentacles, activated the switch behind the door, and with three clicks of the metal mechanism turning, the doors locked shut.

Jin beckoned the insects to rush downstairs, clear the water from the basement, and violently open the door to the underground 'treasure vault'.

Similarly, the treasure vault was filled with 1000 original crystal storage boxes.

Lord Jin Nan activated his metal ability, controlling the storage boxes to levitate off the ground. He sensed their weight with his mind and found them to be empty.

They then went to the next building and checked the ground-level weapons warehouse, where they found several sets of Force Armor and a number of weapons.

They quickly looted the site and then moved on to digging the next one.
