Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Chapter 104 Win-Win! The End!

Outside the first ruin in the starry sky.

A faint spatial fluctuation flashed by, and a giant snake, thousands of miles long, appeared out of thin air.

Its body is as large as a winding mountain range, covered with emerald green glass scales, the edges of which gleam with a golden luster, and its triangular head is covered with fine emerald green scales.

On its head, a pair of deep green vertical pupils were cold and sharp, with lightning flashing faintly deep within them.

"It's truly a remnant of a sacrificial temple!"

The giant glass serpent slowly twisted in the void, each twist creating ripples in the space. A strange light flashed in her vertical pupils as her gaze fell on the spot where the blood-red pillar of light had been.

She had seen many ruins of sacrificial temples.

But most of them are just ruins and not worth mentioning, while this site appears to be quite well preserved from the outside.

and.

If it were an incomplete temple ruin, the spatial seal formed by the secret runes on the building would have already collapsed, and she could easily teleport directly into the core area of ​​the ruin, take the treasure, and leave.

But this ruin—

She could sense that the secret runes on the building were still flowing, still sealing off the interior space. The power contained within the runes made it impossible for her to teleport directly in from the outside.

"Phew~"

King Li Yan's figure rapidly shrank, from thousands of miles to hundreds of meters, then to tens of meters, and finally appeared as a puppet with a human body and a snake's head, barefoot and floating in the void.

"Whoosh!"

She flashed and entered the ruins.

Tens of millions of kilometers away, in a floating meteorite.

The meteorite was only a few hundred meters in diameter. Among the countless floating meteorites, it was inconspicuous and indistinguishable from the surrounding meteorites.

However, inside this meteorite, a small space had been hollowed out, and an ordinary metal sphere was placed there.

This is a set of high-end detection instruments that Lin Yan purchased from Hunyuan Unit for nearly 10 million yuan, including a large detector with a range of 100 million kilometers and a small detector with a range of 100 kilometers.

This also includes a series of supporting monitoring, early warning, and recording devices.

"drop!"

Suddenly, the metal sphere emitted a crisp sound.

A tiny indicator light on the surface of the sphere turned red, and the detection instrument detected the spatial fluctuations and the giant glass serpent that stretched for thousands of miles above.

The information was instantly transmitted to Lin Yan's watch via the virtual universe network.

The sixth site is outside.

Lin Yan and Feng Yinghou had just emerged from the ruins and were preparing to head to the next location.

"Beep 1"

Suddenly, Lin Yan's watch screen flickered and emitted a rapid notification sound.

"Master, detector number one has detected abnormal energy fluctuations!" The fat cat's voice carried a hint of tension. "The detected energy fluctuations are only at the King-level Immortal realm. The other party has already entered the ruins."

Detector No. 1 —

Lin Yan was slightly taken aback. That was the detection instrument he had placed tens of millions of kilometers away from the first ruin, mainly to prevent...

The Lord of the Li Serpent Clan returned after leaving, and unexpectedly, he came in handy.

"The demon race is crowned with immortality."

Feng Yinghou's gaze sharpened slightly. He turned to Lin Yan, and a hint of seriousness and vigilance flashed in both of their eyes at the same time.

"Whoosh!"

Without hesitation, Lin Yan raised his hand and projected the detection information from his wristwatch, and a three-dimensional projection unfolded in the void in front of the two of them.

In the starry sky, a giant glass serpent, thousands of miles long, appeared out of thin air, exuding a vast aura of law. The aura was so tangible that even through the projection, one could almost feel the oppressive force contained within it.

"This is----"

"King Li Yan!!!"

Feng Yinghou's pupils suddenly contracted, and his voice carried a hint of undisguised shock.

"King Li Yan?" Lin Yan looked at him in confusion.

He had investigated information about some alien races that had been granted the title of King within the military system, including some immortal kings from the demon race.

However, there are so many immortal kings among the demon race that Lin Yan could not possibly recognize them all.

He could only remember those who were infamous on the battlefields beyond the borders, or those who had been active on those battlefields for a long time. He had never seen the name Li Yan Wang in the military intelligence.

"Brother Lin, I think we should skip the last two ruins!" Feng Yinghou said solemnly. "This King Li Yan is one of the demon race's strongest warriors who is close to becoming a king. He is not famous in the outer battlefields, but he is notorious in some cosmic secret realms."

"withdraw."

Lin Yan's voice was calm and decisive.

A near-invincible being among the demon race, who is beyond their ability to deal with. How can they search for the ruins with peace of mind when such an enemy is roaming the Netherworld Starfield?

Fortunately, he had placed a detector outside the first ruin beforehand; otherwise, if they had encountered King Li Yan while exploring the ruin, they probably wouldn't have had a chance to escape.

"Submit the star map —"

Feng Yinghou's voice calmed down, but a trace of lingering fear remained in his eyes. "Perhaps we can explore it again in the future."

There are two unexplored ruins on the star map, but they are far from their current location and more dangerous. According to the original plan, they will have to explore them all within the next ten years.

"Let's leave it for future exploration!" Lin Yan said.

Reporting the star map would indeed earn them a military merit, but that merit was nothing to them anymore.

Moreover, there are two unexplored ruins on the star map, which may contain even more precious treasures.

Rather than handing over the star map in exchange for a little military merit, it's better to keep the coordinates and explore them when we're stronger in the future.

Although the two were unwilling, they also knew very well that the most taboo thing on the battlefield outside the domain was greed. Knowing when to stop and not putting themselves in danger was better than anything else.

Many powerful figures died on the battlefields beyond the realm, not because they lacked strength, but because they were greedy for more treasures, greater opportunities, and higher military merits.

"Walk."

Lin Yan turned around and flew towards the spaceship.

Feng Yinghou also returned to his own spaceship.

The two spaceships accelerated in a wide area of ​​space, quickly reaching the speed of light and entering the dark universe.

Inside the spacecraft control room.

Although he was still somewhat unwilling, Lin Yan suppressed his thoughts, leaned back in the chair in the command room, and tallied up the gains of this operation.

This trip to the extraterritorial battlefield was indeed quite lucky.

First, they encountered an alien army by chance, dealt with them and obtained two finger bones. Then, while searching the fragmented continent, they found an arm bone.

Then, they encountered the battle between Feng Yinghou and the Lord of the Chishe Clan, and were drawn into a conflict at the level of a Marquis. In that ruin, they discovered a star map showing the distribution of the sacrificial temple ruins.

With the help of that star map.

They thoroughly explored all six sites.

Although the prize was split equally with Feng Yinghou, Lin Yan was probably the one who truly benefited the most. Of course, from Feng Yinghou's perspective, he was unaware of the importance of the secret bone to Lin Yan.

In this "win-win" situation, the entire cooperation process is naturally pleasant.
