Chapter 2204 - 2197: Haunted?
As a top-tier explorer, Monton can be said to have tempered the strength of his body to the extreme. The transcendence techniques he cultivated were almost all related to body cultivation. He could be considered a genius, integrating many transcendence techniques to develop his own path.
In terms of pure physical strength, not even the emperors of the Holy Soul Alliance could compare to him. That’s why he could set the deepest diving record into the Blood Pond, though that’s just a previous record now.
A sudden burst of golden light emerged from his body, and the surface of his body appeared as smooth as if it was covered with a layer of metal, possessing even a metallic sheen.
[Dean, this person’s physical strength has almost reached the level of a fourth-tier Ultimate Life Form!]
"By their words, this already has the physical strength of a Realm Breaker?" Zhang Menglong had never encountered a Realm Breaker in this world, and this realm nearly corresponds to a fourth to sixth-tier Ultimate Life Form. The gap between a Transcender and a Realm Breaker is immense. A true Realm Breaker could almost walk horizontally in the Holy Soul Alliance.
Monton came once again to the side of that cave. Another burst of strong energy fluctuations swept past, seemingly resisting Monton’s approach. But this time, he clenched his teeth and endured it. His body moved only a few inches backward and then continued stubbornly forward.
"He got past! As expected of Monton!"
"Is he about to break through? If that’s true, even the entire high level of the Holy Soul Alliance combined will not be able to limit him in the future!"
"This time’s treasure, he must have a share!"
Monton finally arrived at the side of the cave and glanced downward. This cave could be described as bottomless, even much deeper than the entire Blood Pond.
He also knew very well that there must be danger beneath this cave, and the danger might not be less than that of the Blood Pond.
However, he had lingered at this peak transcender realm for too long. He wanted to find a possibility for a breakthrough; otherwise, he would never be able to become a true Realm Breaker. He must attempt to seize this opportunity!
Thinking of this, he hardened his heart and directly entered the cave.
Soon, there was almost no movement within the cave. Many people still focused on Monton’s vital signs. Within a certain range, they could still learn Monton’s situation.
His vital signs were very stable, and it seemed that for a short time, he should not encounter any accident.
Zhang Menglong quietly came to the side, and the perspective of Monton immediately appeared before him. He had tampered slightly with the Supreme Crystal that Monton acquired, and now Monton was practically his detector.
"The surrounding temperature is very low!" Zhang Menglong observed the rapidly dropping temperature data, which was even approaching absolute zero!
The passage seemed not very dangerous. Monton easily passed through the entire tunnel, and at the end of the tunnel, there was a huge underground space!
"Holy cow! What is this?"
When Monton illuminated the entire underground space, Zhang Menglong almost stood up in surprise.
Facing the cave stood an enormous ice dragon! This ice dragon, over 5000 meters in length, was frozen within a Supreme Crystal, long devoid of life.
But bizarrely, its blood-filled mouth was wide open, releasing a powerful turbulence towards the cave, creating the entire Blood Pond’s Blood Vortex Flow. This energy flow originated remarkably from the corpse of a Warcraft that had been dead for who knows how many years.
"How can a dead creature continue to output energy?" Both Monton and Zhang Menglong were deeply puzzled by this.
[Dean, it’s likely because the Supreme Crystal that encased this ice dragon left some residual consciousness in it. This consciousness, similar to a human’s knee-jerk reflex, would automatically activate when stimulated until all energy was exhausted, forming this periodic Blood Vortex Flow.]
"I understand some of it, but not completely." But Zhang Menglong speculated whether the Supreme Crystal from the Blood Pond might have originated from this place.
Powerful airflow swept large amounts of Supreme Crystal powder into the Blood Pond, where it began to coalesce and crystallize, eventually forming numerous Supreme Crystals.
Zhang Menglong’s attention was now drawn to other areas of this underground space. Here, encased in Supreme Crystal, there were not just one of such creatures but possibly millions!
"These creatures seem to be non-existent in the compendium," Zhang Menglong closely examined the features and characteristics of these creatures. To date, all Warcraft and Spiritual Beasts have ample documentation online, and the possibility of an oversight amidst countless years of accumulation is minuscule.
Even if some creatures have undergone mutation, they would undoubtedly share some similar traits. However, nearly none of these creatures could be linked to any known prototypes. Gou Dan could basically determine that these creatures did not exist among the known records.
"These are creatures of transcender level and beyond," Monton analyzed these creatures through the equipment on his body. He couldn’t imagine what kind of power could kill so many powerful creatures here.
The Spiritual Beasts here, even just one, could turn the entire Holy Soul Alliance into a barren wasteland.
"Creatures from 120 million years ago!" Seeing the results from his detector, Monton was utterly astonished. This timeframe far exceeded the existence of the six nations of the Holy Soul Alliance. These creatures could undoubtedly be called prehistoric creatures!
"These are all valuable treasures!" Monton couldn’t help but exclaim. It was well known that the entire body of high-grade Spiritual Beasts was full of treasures, from bones to other body parts, all held high value.
Living beings can’t be stored in a space storage device, but dead ones can be stored in any quantity!
"There are humans too!?" Suddenly, he spotted a skeleton on the ground, evidently left behind by a human after death. According to the instruments, this human lived at least 80 million years ago!
million years ago, that would undoubtedly be an incredibly unfamiliar era.
"This is..." His gaze suddenly fixed on a ring on the skeleton’s left index finger—it was undoubtedly a space storage device!
A being above the level of a transcender fell here. How many relics might be left on him? Would something allowing him to break through to a Realm Breaker be among them?
Thinking this, his entire blood began to boil.
He directly approached the skeleton, but at this moment, the picture before Zhang Menglong’s eyes suddenly froze and blurred. Subsequently, Monton fell straight forward, and the detector showed that his vital signs had completely vanished!
Zhang Menglong was horrified: "Is this place haunted?"
