I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 544 - 400 Irregular Mountain

Chapter 544: Chapter 400 Irregular Mountain

Lu Yuan looked at the remaining eager insects and instructed the three Worm Kings: “Guard the Sky City well, you can also release some insects into the forest to eat some wood and catch some extraordinary creatures, while mining some ores. For anything else, I will notify you.”

“Yes!”

Due to the existence of the unknown civilization, humans couldn’t mine with great fanfare, but the Insect Soldiers, not being intelligent creatures, could afford a bit of activity.

On the human side, the action was a bit slower; it took half a day to gather a thousand-strong elite investigation team.

Among them, there were six hundred soldiers, all of whom were skilled scouts.

One hundred Source Fire Mechas were equipped with Source Fire Cannons, Engraving Machine Guns, communication equipment, medical equipment, and two tons of logistics supplies, essentially serving as multifunctional robots.

...

Additionally, there were four hundred logistical personnel, including geographers, artifact analysts, biologists, medical staff, and more.

Everyone was rubbing their hands with excitement, looking forward to the unknown and the challenges, their morale quite high.

Although Professor Lu Tiantian was elderly, he felt he could still contribute and signed up to participate in the activity.

Of course, he would be operating a special Source Fire Puppet, so he wouldn’t need to walk.

Thus, with everything ready, Lu Yuan bid farewell to Conch Girl: “This expedition might last a few months, or even several years. Just stay here and work on ‘Spirit Language Technology’; I’m powerful now, so I certainly won’t die.”

The girl immediately teared up, unable to speak for a long time. She actually wanted to go along, but due to the social welfare plan, it was really not possible; after all, raising children requires a guardian.

Digging through her bag, she pulled out a small sachet containing a photo of the two of them and several “Spirit Word Buff Runes.”

[A crudely made sachet, though rough in craft, yet filled with rich emotion and clear love. (Low-grade artificial artifact)]

[Function: Slightly increases the recovery speed of spiritual power.]

Seeing that Lu Yuan hung it around his neck, the tears of the girl couldn’t help but fall as she kept rubbing her eyes.

To humans, the Spirit Word buff was quite useful, made from expensive materials she had saved from her salary.

Of course, for a Mythical Level being like the Greedy Demon God, such buffs were barely significant.

Lu Yuan didn’t plan to use the item gifted by the young maid; instead, he would cherish it for a long time, as it was also the first handicraft from Conch Girl.

“Scram already, like it’s a life-and-death farewell!!” Old Cat scolded mercilessly on the side, “If there’s any trouble, just call a comrade, and I’ll be right by your side in a flash.”

“Got it, got it.”

“So, goodbye, everyone!”

The massive Sky Fortress slowly started, heading towards the distance while activating its optical invisibility state.

From a certain perspective, humans had indeed become a bit stronger, evident from the size of the Sky Fortress.

It now had a diameter of three hundred meters, capable of carrying ten thousand tons of weight!

Truly, there had been a lot of growth.

But from another perspective, humans still had many shortcomings… To this day, no larger flying machine than the Sky Fortress had been built; isn’t that a significant shortfall? (Of course, there are still a few helicopters.)

The six thousand kilometers journey took nearly three days, and the Sky Fortress landed on a plain.

“Hisss!” As the airbag slowly deflated, Lu Yuan was the first to step out, placing his hand above his eyebrows, looking towards the clear blue sky.

Ten kilometers away lies the super peak, looking up, it feels as if the world has been turned upside down, the ground rising vertically as if it is a barrier connecting heaven and earth.

Even the sun is obscured by this high mountain, and even at noon, the giant shadow still drags for several kilometers.

Due to the lack of sunlight, the flowers, plants, and trees nearby do not grow very well.

“The mountain ahead might look tall, but the terrain is relatively flat, somewhat similar to a plateau,” explained Major Lu Ying from the Treasure Hunting Team. “We have found a fairly easy path that can accommodate the movement of puppet mechas.”

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

“According to our reconnaissance, there isn’t much danger at the base of the mountain. But once we reach the summit, close to that crack, we need to be cautious. The area is shrouded in mist, and it’s still unknown what exactly lies beneath the crack.”

“The gases there are biotoxic, we must constantly wear gas masks.”

Thus, the group began their journey on foot, led by 100 small insect soldiers, slowly exploring the surrounding area.

They moved about 30 kilometers a day, which wasn’t very fast.

The Sky Fortress then flew back into the sky, waiting for human commands—this insect is really too precious, if something were to take a bite, Lu Yuan wouldn’t be able to bear the regret.

Meanwhile, the scientists collected various samples along the way, such as plants, soil, fungi, and so on.

This type of collection work is tedious and boring, yet it effectively gathers supernatural information residual in the environment.

Especially the Phenomenon Level fluctuations, which linger longer and might possibly be detected.

However, what puzzled everyone was that after a series of tests, not only was no abnormal fluctuation detected in the samples, but the “Extraordinary Background Radiation” was even less than in other areas!

“Extraordinary Background Radiation… What does this signify?”

Lu Tiantian explained with a smile, “Extraordinary Background Radiation is a universal ideal parameter on the Pangu Continent. The higher this parameter, the more frequent the idealism power, theoretically increasing the probability of the birth of Extraordinary Creatures.”

“The ‘Extraordinary Background Radiation’ inside the Safe Zone is much lower than on Pangu Continent. This is because the land, air, and water within the Safe Zone were relocated from the original world.”

“And the fact that the background radiation near this mountain is even lower than in the Safe Zone is quite strange.”

This explanation helped everyone understand.

“There could be several reasons for this occurrence.”

First, this mountain might be hiding a large mine!

This mine might contain abundant irregular materials, such as Black Iron, Mountain Copper, etc. These irregular materials could be shielding the Extraordinary Background Radiation.

“Irregular” is also a form of idealism; it repels other idealism rules.

Of course, the probability of this happening is not high, because the surrounding soil has not shown traces of these common minerals.

But if it were legendary or above irregular materials, like “Eternal Essence Gold” or even more impressive Epic or Immortal Level materials, just a small chunk of the mine could cause a large area to become irregular, and it would be normal not to detect it in the soil.

The second possibility… man-made!

Such as a high-level civilization’s Sealing Array or some Ideal Energy absorption device, etc.

And this secret, hidden deep within that crack…
