Chapter 410: Chapter 410 Chang’e Flees to the Moon

Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the woman with an indescribable gaze for a long while before turning away.

“The woman who came with me today is called Jin Lingsu. How do you think your skills compare to hers?”

The woman paused for a moment. She had heard of the great name of Jin Lingsu. With her own meager abilities, she was certainly no match for Jin Lingsu.

“Mr. Chen must be joking. How could I possibly be a match for her?”

“That’s right!” Chen Yu’s eyes held a hint of scorn: “With her by my side, why would I bother adding a burden to myself?”

The woman’s breathing became hurried. She had come to the desert with a treasure map in hopes of climbing the social ladder.

She had thought Luo Sanpao would be her support for the rest of her life, but the guy was only interested in herding sheep and horses in the desert, completely indifferent to anything else.

Now, having finally encountered Chen Yu and the opportunity to join the Knights of the Round Table, how could she possibly give up?

“Mr. Chen, I hope you will consider. Although I am not as strong as Jin Lingsu, the knowledge in my head will definitely interest you.”

The woman promptly took out a tattered piece of cloth from her body and spread it out on the table beside her.

It appeared to be a treasure map, but it didn’t quite seem like one.

All the topographical features were of the desert, with a river passing through a canyon depicted on it.

It was somewhat different from the map the woman had taken out earlier.

However, looking at the two maps together revealed several overlapping areas.

“What is this?” Chen Yu leaned forward, pointed at the map, and stopped at the point where the two maps connected.

From the terrain, it seemed like this place was the deepest part of the Tarim Basin.

It was a famously uninhabited area worldwide, rarely exited safely by anyone who ventured in.

“Mr. Chen, have you ever heard of the ancient kingdom of Muta?”

Chen Yu frowned. He had no knowledge of this in his mind.

“I haven’t heard of it, actually.”

A smug look suddenly appeared on the woman’s face. She took out a small box from her body, which contained a crystal-clear bead.

However, at the very center of the bead, there seemed to be a three-dimensional image of Chang’e flying to the moon.

Such crystal beads were already rare in the world, and with an image like this inside, it was an invaluable treasure.

“The ancient kingdom of Muta is a land of legend, said to have been extinct for over three thousand years. According to legend, their queen had an Art of Eternal Life.”

Chen Yu’s pupils suddenly dilated. Organizations around the world had a near-maniacal obsession with the Art of Eternal Life. If this information were released, countless powers would stumble over each other to enter the Tarim Basin.

The woman must have known this and wanted to use it as a bargaining chip to join the Knights of the Round Table.

“That’s just a legend. From a scientific standpoint, a person’s lifespan can only reach a maximum of a little over two hundred years. The longest-lived person recorded in history was merely about two hundred and sixty years old. Eternal life is nothing more than a myth passed on with exaggerations.”

“No!” The woman directly placed the bead into Chen Yu’s hand: “I’ve been to that place and seen living people, and those people are definitely the nationals of the ancient kingdom of Muta from three thousand years ago.”

Chen Yu’s body trembled slightly, watching the woman’s expression that didn’t look like a lie, but how could there possibly be people in this world who lived for so long?

He adjusted his breathing slightly, took the crystal bead, scrutinized it closely, and also activated the system’s scan of the bead.

This crystal bead, both in terms of material and age, was of the highest quality and would be an invaluable treasure outside. However, it seemed to contain a strange fluorescent element.

After systematic analysis, it was impossible to identify its individual elements.
