Chapter 386: Bizarre (1/2)
Figure after figure rushed by as various Explorers hurriedly charged towards the interior of the centipede.
Lu Yin carefully examined the buildings. “Monkey, can you tell which period these structures are from?”
“Seventh Bro, you must really think of me as an archaeologist. I only read the records of some powerhouses. I haven’t researched anything at all about whatever periods.”
Lu Yin casually pressed his hand against a wall, only for it to collapse to the ground and turn to dust. Nothing could be preserved forever, and even the words on the buildings had long since faded.
“This civilization must have been rather powerful if they settled down in such an enormous centipede's body. Their construction materials must also have been different from what we use. But despite all that, this building can do nothing but turn to dust today. The time that has passed since they were first built can only be imagined.”
Lu Yin felt like something was strange. “So why is this centipede’s body perfectly preserved? Why hasn’t it disappeared after all this time?”
“I don’t know about that. Logically, this thing should have indeed vanished.”
“Right Seventh Bro, you can put that spacecraft in your cosmic ring,” the Ghost Monkey suddenly suggested.
Lu Yin frowned. “It won’t fit.”
“You’re thinking about a normal cosmic ring. The one you have now is from Northgate Lie, so the thing might actually fit.”
Lu Yin’s eyes gleamed, and he hurried back to where he had parked the spacecraft to try the monkey’s suggestion out. Unfortunately, the vessel still could not fit since it was too big. The ring’s maximum storage size was a cubic meter, so the only way he might be able to store the spacecraft would be by tearing it apart.
“Forget it. We’ll try again after getting a better cosmic ring.”
At that point, a spacecraft landed heavily nearby. Lu Yin’s heart jumped, and he slowly approached the vehicle.
It was a small-sized spacecraft that could hold up to a hundred people.
The hatch opened, and the occupants walked out one after another. They all wore similar uniforms, and it was clear from just a glance that they were mercenaries, though not particularly strong ones.
The last one to walk out was a middle-aged man with thick muscles and a stern gaze. He looked at Lu Yin who was walking over. There was still smoke in his mouth, and as he exhaled, he puffed out a smoke ring that slowly vanished.
“Go, bring him over here,” the man ordered.
Several mercenaries immediately moved to surround Lu Yin and escorted him back to the middle-aged man.
“When did you enter?” The man only glanced at Lu Yin before casually asking him this question with a relaxed attitude.
Lu Yin looked at him. “You should have a set of universal armor.”
“Give me a set of universal armor.”
The people surrounding him all gave Lu Yin strange looks.
The leader of the group became furious. “I’m asking you a question! Answer me honestly, or I’ll kill you!”
Lu Yin frowned, and a gust of air swirled around his body, sweeping everyone aside. An intense pressure enveloped everyone, and even the muscular man who was an Explorer felt it. Despite his realm, he was pushed back several steps by the pressure. He looked at Lu Yin in shock. How can a Limiteer be so powerful? Hold on, this person looks familiar.
“I said, give me a set of universal armor, and I won’t make things difficult for you,” Lu Yin said without any rush.
The middle-aged man immediately tossed a set to Lu Yin without any hesitation or words.
Lu Yin examined it before nodding in satisfaction and turning to leave.
The man relaxed after he saw Lu Yin leave. It was absolutely terrifying that a Limiteer could have such strength, and he must be some great power’s freak genius. Such a person could not be provoked, no matter how familiar he might seem.
“Captain, what do we do next?” one mercenary asked.
The captain waved a hand. “Let’s head in. I doubt that there will be freaks like him all over the place. With the strength of our group, we should be able to get some good stuff, and it’ll be good for us to gain some experience as well. Right, make a record of the surroundings along the way too. It might be valuable.”
“Yes, captain.”
After acquiring a set of universal armor, Lu Yin was no longer worried about being exposed to outer space in any further accidents. With that issue sorted out, he proceeded into the depths of the centipede's body.
This centipede's body was too massive, and no one knew what was inside, so everyone was making their way forward very cautiously.
“Monkey, do you think that there will be any living creatures in here?”
The monkey muttered, “It’s not easy to tell. Maybe, maybe not.”
