Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 512 - 348, Primordial Ruins_2

Long Xingyun asked, "What seems off?"

The team member replied, "The shape of the quicksand band displayed by the ground-penetrating radar looks like a funnel, small at the top and large at the bottom, and it seems quite deep."

The mechanical spider has detected several quicksand bands, but has never encountered this shape before.

Long Xingyun was stunned for a moment and immediately ordered, "Power the mechanical spider with the exoskeleton, increase the transmitting power of the ground-penetrating radar, and probe again."

"Yes!"

Quickly.

The detection results came out.

The team member’s report became even more astonished, "The electromagnetic waves detected down to six hundred meters, and it’s still a quicksand area down there. From the images, the boundary of the quicksand band should be deeper."

Long Xingyun realized there might be something peculiar here, "Something is wrong. Since the quicksand is so deep, why hasn’t the surface sand collapsed?"

The Commander suddenly thought of a possibility and blurted out a curse, "Holy sh*t, could there be a monster down there?"

If there really is a monster, judging by the quicksand band’s range, it must be a big one.

The team member swallowed hard, "It’s possible!"

Others immediately became tense.

Gaba Muda suddenly recalled some rumors he had heard before, and his metallic-colored pupils flickered.

This member of the mysterious race hesitated, remembering the Canglan People’s lifesaving grace, and spoke, "Perhaps this is not a monster."

Long Xingyun curiously asked, "Then what is it?"

Gaba Muda didn’t answer immediately but asked a question first, "You should know about the ’Primordial Evil Race,’ right?"

Long Xingyun nodded, "Of course, I know."

The so-called "Primordial Evil Race" are the indigenous civilizations of the Primordial World.

Because they were generally brutal and fierce and were very hostile to the various civilization worlds that descended upon them, they were called the Evil Race.

Gaba Muda finally answered, "Over long years, new Primordial Evil Races have continuously been born in the Sea of Death Black Sand, while many Primordial Evil Races have perished for various reasons.

"The traces left by these perished Primordial Evil Races would be gradually buried by the black sand, eventually sinking into the depths of the Black Sand Sea, becoming ’Primordial Ruins.’

"When many civilization worlds explored the Black Sand Sea, they unexpectedly discovered Primordial Ruins and found many precious items inside."

Long Xingyun’s eyes lit up on hearing this, "Really?"

Gaba Muda nodded, "As far as I know, even after many years have passed, some Primordial Ruins still retain strong supernatural powers.

"Such power continues to affect the surrounding environment, creating some strange phenomena. The quicksand band discovered by the mechanical spider might be a special phenomenon induced by the ruins."

This member of the mysterious race paused for a moment and added a reminder, "However, ruins like these are often very dangerous, and even if a Knight entered rashly, there is a very high probability of falling."

Just as the words fell.

A bright red light point streaked from afar like flowing light.

"Boom!"

The flowing light exploded into a cloud of fire.

A massive ripple surged from the fire cloud, and a figure quickly emerged.

It was Yang Fan.

Gaba Muda was startled and quickly exclaimed, "Mr. Ghost!"

Long Xingyun and the others all saluted uniformly, "Greetings, Chief!"

Yang Fan glanced at the visitor from the mysterious race and smiled, "You guessed right. There is indeed a Primordial Ruin buried deep within this quicksand."

Gaba Muda was a bit surprised, "Mr. Ghost, how did you know?"

Yang Fan hovered in mid-air, looking down at the underground quicksand, and whispered, "My intuition tells me that this place is very dangerous!"

This indirectly confirmed that there indeed was a Primordial Ruin below.

He paused for a moment and added, "Everyone here besides me, if you get sucked in, there’s only a dead end."

The "you" in this sentence undoubtedly included the Iron Fist People.

Gaba Muda’s face changed slightly upon hearing this.

This was actually information from a Dream Realm.

For the Canglan People in the Dream Realm, everything that happened surrounding the ruins was a big tragedy.

In the twenty-sixth year since the descent of Canglan Star, the Canglan People received help from a civilization world named "Huiguang Civilization," and established a World Gate in Shapudian.

Because the world rift above Shapudian was very stable, it was the most suitable location on Canglan Star to build a World Gate.

There was no other.

Yang Fan strongly suggested that Great Xia completely control Shapudian for this reason.

After this World Gate was established, various powerful nations reached a consensus.

Only ten major powers were granted the right to use the World Gate.

Each major power had only three opportunities a year to explore the Sea of Death Black Sand through the World Gate.

The reason it was "three times" instead of more was that this was a "leased" World Gate.

No choice.

The Canglan People were so impoverished they couldn’t gather enough funds to build a World Gate even after so many years.

The Huiguang People supplemented the remaining materials and forced the Canglan People to sign a very harsh agreement.

The ownership of this World Gate belonged to the Huiguang Civilization for a hundred years, and the Canglan People had to pay a leasing fee every year, and additional fees for each use.

The first country to discover the Primordial Ruins was the Jin Kongque Kingdom.

This quirky country sent an exploration team, and when passing through the ruins’ area, more than a dozen members fell in.

Honestly, it was quite a laughable matter.

Because when exploration teams from various countries entered the Black Sand Sea, they would invariably bring a large number of mechanical pathfinding spiders with them.

With the help of mechanical spiders, exploration teams could timely avoid quicksand areas.

Only the Jin Kongque People brought many mechanical spiders but still fell into the trap.

The reason is utterly speechless—they had purchased a batch of mechanical spiders with quality issues.

The mechanical spiders responsible for pathfinding were equipped with faulty ground-penetrating radars, failing to detect the quicksand area beneath the sand layer.

As for why they purchased mechanical spiders with quality issues, a little thought can guess the answer.

After more than a dozen Jin Kongque People were sucked into the quicksand, not a scrap was left.

The remaining Jin Kongque People tried to rescue them, but a powerful suction force generated within the quicksand area sucked everyone around inside.

Only three Jin Kongque People standing at a distance narrowly escaped the calamity.

Terrified, they fled back to the World Gate as fast as they could and returned to Canglan Star.

This matter quickly spread worldwide.

Under the guidance of Great Xia and the Carmenia Federation, various countries formed a joint carbon exploration team to investigate the situation within the quicksand.

The Canglan People spent a full five years, not knowing how many people died, and finally figured out that a Primordial Ruin over 8000 years old was buried within the quicksand.

The first supreme commander of the Blood Banner Legion, Long Xingyun, died in an exploration mission.

However.

Before the Canglan People could start excavating the ruins, the World Gate suddenly closed.

This was undoubtedly due to the Huiguang Civilization’s good deeds.

Several powerful figures from the Huiguang Civilization rushed to Canglan Star, crossed the World Gate into the Sea of Death Black Sand, excavated the Primordial Ruin, and took all the relics within.

The Canglan Civilization faced with a ruin at its doorstep, paid a dear price but gained nothing.

The so-called "making wedding clothes for others," this was the best interpretation.

Not only that, but the Canglan People also faced punishment from the other side.

The Huiguang People, using the excuse "The development rights of the ruins surrounding the World Gate belong to Huiguang Civilization, and the Canglan People must not develop them arbitrarily," doubled the fees for the ten powers using the World Gate.

Powerful civilization worlds are so tyrannical when dealing with weaker civilization worlds.

At this moment.

Gaba Muda added another reminder, "Concerning the information about the Primordial Ruins, it’s best for the Canglan People to strictly keep it a secret, or once the news spreads, the Canglan People will permanently lose the ruins."

Yang Fan smiled slightly, "It’s okay, I have a way to hold the ruins firmly in hand."

Gaba Muda’s lips moved, but ultimately said nothing.

However, from the expression of this mysterious race member, it was clear he did not believe this statement.
