Chapter 1273: 1273
"Firepower deterrence!" Kou Ruhuo bellowed . The hundreds of spiritual puppets formed a rhombus-shaped battle formation, the crystal cannons on their shoulders opening fire at the same time . More than a thousand clusters of unstoppable mystic rays immediately raised countless blasts and airwaves inside the primitive forest .
Many animals were evaporated before they had the chance to scream . Still more animals fled to the deeper parts of the forest amid devastated cries .
The overwhelming malicious intent a moment ago was entirely gone .
The firepower deterrence lasted a whole minute, paving a wasteland a kilometer wide and dozens of kilometers long in front of them .
Li Yao took the opportunity to record the firepower of the spiritual puppets and evaluate their combat ability .
It was obvious that the spiritual puppets of the Imperium of True Human Beings had a combat ability three to five times higher than Xiao Xuance's Grand Illusionary Soldiers did .
As for the firepower deterrence itself, Li Yao did not have any objection .
He had personally explored many world fragments, too . He knew that one needed to demonstrate their dominating firepower when they were exploring an unvisited land—especially if they were faced with the low-intelligent, primitive animals—so that the ferocious animals would be scared and keep their distance from them .
Otherwise, the ferocious animals that did not know what was best for themselves would likely lunge over one after another . Even if they could not pose a fatal threat, a lot of spiritual energy and ammunition would be wasted, too . It could be quite a nuisance .
With the display of power, whatever the animals lurking inside the primitive forest exactly were, they had been taught a good lesson about respect .
Without the harassment of the animals, there was nothing to stop them from advancing, so they successfully flew over to black cube .
The closer they got to the black cube, the better they felt the splendidness and incredibleness of the building .
Measured from whichever direction, every edge of the building was precisely ten thousand meters, without even an error of one millimeter .
By achieving the best in the largest and smallest scale in such a way, the building was informing the visitors a million years later of the formidability of the Pangu civilization!
Li Yao and the three Immortal Cultivators flew around the black cube . They discovered a slot that pierced through the cube on one of the surfaces . The slot was equally straight, precise, and boring .
It was perhaps the 'gate' of the black cube .
It was a 'slot' from a long distance away, but it was actually more than a hundred meters in width . Covered in a vague mist, they could not tell exactly what was inside the black cube .
Dead bodies of the Pangu Clan and human beings were lying all around the 'gate' . They were mostly broken because of tearing and gnawing .
It must have been done by the animals and vines that proliferated after the city fell .
However, all the animals and vines only dared to touch the surroundings of the black cube but had no courage to invade it .
"Chances are that there are better-preserved corpses inside, maybe even Colossi!"
The four of them and almost eight hundred spiritual puppets fell into the black canyon like dust .
The moment that he broke into the black cube, Li Yao's eyes were entirely blocked by the black mist . Even the communication channel was jammed, with background noise echoing nonstop .
He could only hear his own heartbeat and see the reflection of his glittering eyes .
But the black mist soon dispersed . Li Yao finally got a general picture of what was inside the giant, black cube .
And he could not help but gasp hard .
He did not know how he should describe everything in front of his eyes . It was even stranger than the 'red inferno' a moment ago that was caused by the Blood Tide .
The black cube was hollow . As a large building ten kilometers in both length and width, it did not have any levels or walls inside . The entire space inside was a whole without the slightest blockade . It looked like a warehouse, a factory, and more importantly, a farm .
The reason it looked like a 'farm' was that giant, black pillars thousands of meters high occupied the entire black cube . Every black pillar had countless branches, and every branch had countless metal vesicles that looked like wheat ears or corn cobs .
Most of the metal vesicles had been broken . They were lackluster and dry, like the empty cocoons of the insects after they broke out .
But a few metal vesicles remained intact on the surface . Dark red brilliance was being emitted from them!
Most of the vesicles were three to four meters in diameter . From every metal vesicle, more than a hundred metal tubes were connected to the black pillars, as if they were transmitting energy and nutrition from the pillars .
Li Yao ran a simple calculation . Every black pillar that was six to eight kilometers tall boasted almost a hundred branches, which could 'grow' almost ten thousand metal vesicles .
When he was flying among the dense black pillars, he felt that he was a small mosquito darting into a primitive forest . Everything felt both large and weird . He found it almost impossible to catch his breath .
Li Yao scanned the broken metal vesicles with the mystic rays, only to find nothing worth noting after more than ten tries .
When he scanned the nineteenth metal vesicle, however, he finally found… the skeleton of a human being inside it .
The skeleton was only 1 . 6 meters long . Judging from the skull, the teeth, and the limbs, it was a male human .
His bones were intact . There was no sign of fierce resistance or struggle . His death was rather 'peaceful' or even 'tranquil' . He seemed to have died of natural course .
What was odd was that, given the development of his bones, he should have been a teenager . Yet, he was crouching in a cluster like a fetus in the womb .
Did the Pangu Clan capture the young man, stuff him into the metal vesicle, and sustain their life functions in a certain way? Li Yao pondered to himself, but he somehow felt that his guess was not right .
