Wasteland Border Inspector

Demon Eye Sponge, Internal Cave, Magic Conch Space.

The Collector’s analytical ability once again displayed to the fullest!

Even without personally entering the cave, merely through the perspective of the Ghost Water Cave Crab, the true appearance of the Immortal Objects was clearly presented before his eyes.

Even more remarkable was that, unlike Liu Kun’s Scorching Eagle, the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch was neither impenetrable nor unapproachable; it seemed to be the master of this secret realm, calmly exposing itself to view without any intention of blockage.

The perspective was drawn closer to about two meters, and Cheng Ye stopped.

If he were in the real cave, this distance would have already sufficed for containment; he would just need to open the specially made Containment Box and place the conch inside, and the field of contamination it emitted would instantly dissipate.

By then, even without the Elder’s intervention, the Extraordinariies and military forces of Happiness City would immediately arrive, and the underwater Crab-men and remnants of the Demon Eye Sponge’s tentacles would no longer be able to stir up any trouble.

Unfortunately, everything in the information space was just a phantom; no matter how realistic the image, it couldn’t touch the true Immortal Objects.

Cheng Ye forced himself to calm down and closely observe the full appearance of the conch with the naked eye.

Its shell spiraled upwards, with curves so smooth they seemed unlike a naturally grown organism, but rather like an object polished according to precise mathematical models, each curve exuding a sense of perfect rhythm.

The light purple color was not uniformly distributed, but slightly deepened at the turns of the spiral, forming interwoven depths and layers as if it had absorbed the nebula at dusk into its shell.

The most astonishing were the light purple runes on the surface of the shell. Each rune was delicate and exquisite, yet not superficially floating but instead seemed to "grow" out of the shell, blending naturally with the body. Even at the tip of the spiral, all the runes converged into a small star-shaped symbol, emitting a brighter shimmer than the surroundings.

"Is this really just a fragment?"

Cheng Ye couldn’t help but murmur to himself; just this fragment in front of him radiated an indescribable mystery, making it hard to imagine how powerful the complete Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch would be.

Of course, since the analysis was not of the main characteristics of the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch, even though he had just seen the shape of the runes, the impression in his mind would immediately blur once he looked away, to the point that even the specific form of the shell couldn’t be clearly remembered; he could only barely recall its position hovering over the lake.

Only by directing his gaze again to the image could he confirm its existence and location.

"No wonder humans can’t actively locate and search for Immortal Objects; they can only rely on lucky chance encounters for containment..."

Cheng Ye clicked his tongue quietly, "Even I, an Extraordinary, can’t remember its details; an ordinary person might not even retain a vague impression at a glance."

Based on this inference.

Liu Kun’s Scorching Eagle he could remember clearly, but the details of the Immortal Objects couldn’t be recalled, indicating that the level of the Immortal Objects was higher than that of Extraordinary Creatures.

However, the fact that he could barely remember the position of the Immortal Objects indicated that the runes on the shell had a higher level than the Immortal Objects themselves, as even the Immortal Objects were affected by the runes, making it difficult for observers to memorize.

Understanding this point, Cheng Ye again stared at the conch for a long time before pressing the play button again.

The perspective instantly returned to the body of the Ghost Water Cave Crab, and the demonstration of the "Commanding Silk Pattern" rules began, but in the next second, an even more miraculous change appeared!

The light purple runes on the surface of the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch above the lake suddenly began to slowly flow, moving along the spiral trajectory of the shell like a living thing. Each flow would emit a fine purple light that fell onto the lake surface, tinting the clear water with a layer of dreamlike purple sheen.

More wondrously, as the Ghost Water Cave Crab was controlled by the silk pattern moving towards the lake, a gentle hum suddenly sounded in Cheng Ye’s ears, though the sound was not from the outside world but seemed to resonate directly in his mind.

Simultaneously, a weak tingling sensation came from his fingertips, as if fragmented energy was being "transmitted" through his line of sight, remarkably similar to the feeling when touching the eyeball of the Demon Eye Sponge!

"What’s going on?"

Cheng Ye shook his head vigorously, trying to verify if the hum in his ears and the tingling in his fingers were illusions.

But in the next second, the conch in the image suddenly underwent new changes; the speed of flow of the runes on the shell abruptly increased, and the originally dim golden lines also lit up. As purple and gold interwove, a few wisps of light purple mist emerged over the lake.

The mist quickly coalesced into blurry patterns, resembling winding mountains and rivers or twinkling stars, fleeting as an illusion.

Yet this brief change couldn’t escape the Collector’s detection.

The light blue panel gently popped open.

[Unknown biological fluctuation detected, recorded by the Collector, analyzing... ]

[Analysis successful, the characteristics of the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch have slightly increased!]

"The characteristics have increased?"

Cheng Ye’s eyes widened in astonishment, his heart uncontrollably racing.

Previously, after slaughtering thousands of Crab-men, the characteristics of the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch didn’t even pass a single digit. How could merely observing it in the information space collect characteristics?

No, could the implication of characteristics be...

Cheng Ye immediately comprehended, realizing that so-called characteristics should essentially involve the deconstruction of information from the target creature.

The pattern collected from the Crab-men was information, and the purple mist fluctuation just emitted by the conch was naturally also information.

This indeed provided him with a new idea.

If encountering a super strong creature that cannot be directly analyzed, perhaps one could start by examining the creatures and environments associated with it, gathering information indirectly, potentially piecing together characteristics over time.
