Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Chapter 186 Candlelight and Mysterious Inscriptions

After a short while, Zhujiuyin... oh no, it should be called Zhulong, because it had developed a pair of dragon claws.

This creature, which was over a hundred meters long, had shrunk to the same size as the red dragon.

The only differences between them, besides the fact that the Candle Dragon has an extra golden vertical eye that flashes with fire on its forehead and looks more like a dragon, are that they are almost like twins.

"Roar…"

Well... congratulations on gaining another naive fellow. Among these guys, only the Black Dragon had some cultivation before its transformation.

The rest were all affected by special circumstances, just a big, dumb guy who kept growing taller.

After retrieving the three enormous objects that had made the place crowded, Ji Haobo stepped into the air and landed on the vertical hole in the middle of the bronze divine tree, then jumped straight in.

The darkness was so intense that it seemed to transcend space. It took Ji Haobo a full cup of tea's time to see the crimson light below.

He sensed a peculiar fluctuation, and then his body passed through a distorted, invisible barrier.

This is an alternate dimension several hundred meters high, not actually underground, but it is estimated to be at least two or three thousand meters above.

The alternate dimension was very spacious, and the light inside was bright but not glaring.

Its light source comes from a nine-meter-high altar with an adult-sized candle that flickers with a bright red flame.

However, Ji Haobo knew that this thing looked like a candle, but it was actually a manifestation of the subconscious influence of people.

Its true form is simply a ball of flame, a ball of flame that flickers with a special light.

Besides this object and the altar carved with countless incomprehensible runes, there was also a stone tablet standing nearby.

Ji Haobo walked over curiously and saw that there were many words written on it.

From the earliest scripts that were never seen before, to pictographs, oracle bone script, cuneiform script, bronze script, and finally seal script.

These words greatly surprised Ji Haobo, even though he didn't recognize almost any of them.

However, it also reveals the types of fonts and the timelines represented by their various evolutions.

He didn't know the era of those unfamiliar characters, but pictographs are over 5,000 years old, and even seal script is 3,000 years old.

To figure out what was written on it, Ji Haobo uprooted the stone tablet and took it, intending to find someone to study it when he got back.

Then his gaze returned to the candle, no, to the flame.

Needless to say, this thing is the legendary candle held in the mouth of the Zhulong.

It seemed ordinary, but Ji Haobo could sense an extremely subtle fluctuation, and the entire alternate dimension was caused by it.

Ji Haobo did not believe the white-haired rat's claim that the magical tree it conjured could break through the world barrier and enter the dark void to find a new world, or rather, he had a different understanding of it.

He guessed that those words meant breaking free from some kind of magnetic field protection shield in outer space and entering the vast, dark ocean of space to search for new life-bearing planets.

Instead of breaking through this world to enter some mysterious void and chaos in search of another world.

These estimates are probably unknown even to the white-haired mouse itself. It likely only knows some fragmented information and concocts a plausible but ultimately flawed conclusion based on its own imagination.

After all, no matter how magical this candlelight is, it doesn't have that kind of exaggerated energy.

Its function may simply be to connect to some kind of signal from outer space, or to activate coordinates or something similar.

For example, the mysterious dark side of the moon, and the planets of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), have similar altars or something.

However, these things were too far off for Ji Haobo; he had no interest in figuring out how to activate this thing.

Since I already have the Nine Dragons Coffin to rely on, as long as I slowly accumulate and develop, I can completely roam the universe. So for now, I should focus on getting the benefits I can get my hands on first.

The candle before him came from the candle dragon. He guessed that the snake god and it were one and the same, only that people called them differently.

The Candle Dragon is also called Candle Nine Yin, and nine is the extreme number, so Candle Nine Yin represents extreme yin.

But this thing may be a case of yin giving rise to yang. The Muchen Pearl is an extremely yin object, and although the candle it holds in its mouth is somewhat special and strange, it is still generally of the yang nature.

If this supremely yang flame were to merge into the Xuan Coffin, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the radiance of the Great Sun.

With these conjectures in mind, Ji Haobo did not hesitate and released the Xuan Coffin, which swallowed the candle on the altar.

Without this thing, the surrounding alternate dimension instantly twisted and cracked.

Ji Haobo didn't know what would happen if this place collapsed, and he didn't dare to risk staying. He quickly stepped into the air and rushed outside.

After the candlelight disappeared, the bronze tree outside seemed to lose something to support it. The bronze color gradually faded, cracks appeared, and it began to vibrate continuously.

As time passed, not only did the bronze tree collapse rapidly, but the mountain itself also began to shake violently.

Erpang and the others were practically on their feet, but none of them dared to stop and take a break.

When Ji Haobo came out again, a large part of the mountain had collapsed.

It was already dawn, and the crimson morning light shone on the earth, illuminating a scene of devastation in the mountains and forests.

The original mountain peak has completely sunk underground, leaving only a huge pit from which water slowly overflows. It is believed that this place will soon become a small lake.

Ji Haobo glanced at the scene and shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, feeling that he had also become a tomb destroyer, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to crack wherever he went.

He turned around and found the group of people who were slumped in the forest. While they were resting, he called a transport plane to pick them up.

Although I didn't make a fortune from the gacha pulls this time, I still gained a lot from the other aspects.

Aside from the Xuanjiao and Zhulong, the largest one is Zhuzhao. When that thing was integrated into the Xuan Coffin, a great sun appeared in the Burial World's small grotto-heaven.

This already has a basic world framework and is ready for development.

They happened to be in the primeval forest of the Qinling Mountains. Ji Haobo gave a brief explanation to everyone and then took flight, heading towards the surrounding area.

After searching from a high vantage point, he used the Xuan Coffin to project a small cave space and took some of the mountain peaks inside.

However, most of the piles were located more than 20 miles from the center. Several dragons became laborers, pounding and compacting them, and then the Zhulong used flames to slowly burn and reinforce them.

He plans to use this as a foundation and later place another steep mountain on top of it.

The rest of the area is dotted with a few small hills, which serve as small islands when there is water.

After that simple setup, the transport plane arrived.

Wu Xie and the others got off the plane as soon as they left the mountainous area, while only Ji Haobo and Laura returned to Kyoto.

Upon hearing the news of their return, Lao Hu and the others excitedly ran to the manor, shouting from afar.

"Brother Bo, you've been gone for days, tell us what strange things you've encountered?"

"Hey! I've actually uncovered some secrets."

Ji Haobo smiled and briefly recounted the journey to the Qinling Mountains to everyone, leaving Lao Hu and the others stunned.
