A Million Possible

A mysterious metal skeleton appeared in the projection sand dunes. This weird scene instantly attracted everyone's attention.

From the appearance, the truth is that there is no way to associate it with any specific things.

Large areas of rust and decay have made this iron guy lose his original appearance.

What's more, from the metal edges that are obviously twisted or even torn, you can guess that this should be part of a larger structure.

"This is obviously a man-made object! It means that the Otherworld referred to by this projection also has humans, or highly intelligent creatures similar to humans!" Someone immediately judged.

This speculation was immediately approved by everyone.

But this is not a big surprise. After all, people have seen the "elven civilization" with their own eyes during the last projection, so they are more certain about the judgment that "projection refers to Otherworld".

"The rust on this..."

As everyone gathered around, a little lapel with a somewhat academic temperament murmured, and walked forward.

It seems that I want to take a closer look at its surface.

However, in the next second, I only heard a short "Careful!"

Immediately, I saw a black shadow violently sprang out of the metal frame buried in the sand dunes!

Very small, but extremely fast!

Between the electric light and flint, a cyan light curtain suddenly emerged, forming a wall of light.

The black shadow hit it and penetrated half of it directly.

But this also successfully reduced its speed.

Huang Yin's eyes were quick and her hands were quick, and her little white hand reached over and grabbed this thing directly in her palm!

Then he heard a "pop", a light blue liquid splashed from the gap in her fist, and the attacker was pinched to death by her!

Cheng Lin's eyelids jumped from behind. He remembers Huang Yin is elemental, right? Why is it so violent?

"nothing else."

Seeing everyone concentrating on alert, the perception system cultivator pinching the eyebrows said that after the other two perception systems were determined, everyone was relieved.

"What kind of creature is this?"

Cheng Lin also walked over and saw that Huang Yinxue's palm had been dyed blue.

The creature looked like a crocodile, but it was only palm-sized and covered with a thin layer of phosphorous armor. It had been crushed, and internal organs and blood spilled out.

Huang Yin touched out a red crystal the size of a pinky fingernail from its corpse.

The corpse was handed over to someone else and smashed into the sampling bag to make a specimen. A flame burned on that hand, and the blood and internal organs were roasted. There was not a little left. This was a waste of hand washing.

Then she used her thumb and index finger to pinch the crystal to raise it.

I watched the sun with my eyes for a few seconds, and said: "A kind of crystalline body similar to spirit ore, the energy response is barely the second rank."

Someone nearby hurriedly took notes and bagged the crystal.

Cheng Lin's eyes moved from the side. This is the magic core. The second rank... he used it to be useless. What he needs is the elite magic core, that is, the monster of the fourth rank can provide it.

After solving this "new monster", everyone finally has a certain awareness of the dangers in this desert.

"The perception system distributes evenly, provides enough potion supply, keeps the power always on, and the end observes the feet, under the sand, and the dunes... Once you find something, report it immediately. Did you hear it?"

Huang Yin clapped her hands and gave orders.

Everyone agreed.

After solving the monster, everyone finally gathered around the iron shelf again.

Huang Yin looked at the cultivator who was attacked: "What did you want to say before? Keep talking."

"Ah...Yes," the little lapel was taken aback, nodded slightly in fear, walked over, scratched the rust on the metal frame with his fingernail, observed for a while, and cautiously said, "This rust does not look like It will appear in a desert environment."

"What's the meaning?"

"The desert environment is dry. Generally speaking, water and oxygen are necessary for metal corrosion. Iron is more likely to corrode only when the humidity in the air is greater than 70%, and here... the air humidity obviously cannot meet the requirements, even if it is assumed here. The desert climate also changes, and occasionally it rains, and it can rust, but this must be layered, and the rust on this... is more like the formation of long-term soaking in the ocean." The little lapel hesitated. He said, paused, and added, "Of course, this is based on our world as the standard. Otherworld may be different."

Everyone was silent.

Ocean immersion?

Could it be said that this invisible iron frame is part of a ship?

Moved to the desert after rusting?

This sounds weird.

"Could it be... this desert was an ocean long ago?" Suddenly someone came out.

Everyone looked at him, but they didn't speak.

Under normal circumstances, if an ocean wants to become a desert, the unit of geological change has to be measured in ten thousand years, and ten thousand years... what kind of ship can survive underwater for ten thousand years?

It's already rotten into elements, okay...

"Ahem, speaking of it, some studies say that Taklimakan where we are located was from the ocean a long, long time ago, but that seems to be the middle stage of the Miocene era, it was ten million years ago..." That said, rusty The little lapel of the question said with a pause, "But considering the existence of Otherworld and Spiritual Qi...many things can't be handled with common sense."

This is, before the revival of Spiritual Qi, if someone tells them that they will step into the spiritual world in the future, no one will believe it, but now?

Since the recovery of Spiritual Qi, the world has become unfamiliar.

"Any guess is possible, come here, take some specimens, take a few more photos, and then move on!"

Huang Yin meditated for a moment and said loudly.

She is not interested in these things related to "scientific research", she is more interested in those "monsters" and "magic cores". When they are taken back to the research institutes, they may become practical results. .

The crowd dispersed according to their words.

Some began to bag surface samples with a knife, and some took the camera around to take pictures.

"Cheng Lin, let's go, this is nothing good." Fu Zhongting whispered when he saw it.

But there was no answer.

He turned his head to look, and saw Cheng Lin standing in a daze, staring at a certain place on the metal frame as if there was a special symbol, and someone was photographing there.

"Cheng Lin? Did you find anything?" Xie Qingke is a girl after all, with a delicate mind, look at him and ask in a low voice.

"Ah... No, I just think it's weird."

Cheng Lin smiled concealedly, and then returned to the car with Xie Qingke's suspicious eyes.

From beginning to end, his face was calm, but no one knew how speechless Cheng Lin was now.

There were only two twisted and rough symbols "CC" left on the rusty sign. The two letters were so spaced apart that other people would naturally not be able to associate them, but he recognized at a glance that the complete spelling should be CNPC. But the two letters in the middle are completely worn out.

And CNPC happens to be the English abbreviation of Xia Guo’s largest oil company...

Associated further, Cheng Lin quickly guessed that this thing was probably part of the Xia Guo Oil offshore drilling ship. When the monsters came, the sea was under martial law, and the personnel were evacuated, but some large equipment, such as oil exploration drilling ships, etc. He was there, and later he was directly hit by a "fire meteor" to the bottom of the sea. I didn't expect that after so many years, there would still be wreckage preserved in the desert.

"Fortunately, the traces have been corroded and you can't see the original, otherwise..."

Thinking of a group of big science cows in the world surrounded by high-tech laboratories, and after unremitting research and hard work, they finally discovered that the mysterious metal wreckage of Otherworld turned out to be the drilling ship of Xia Guo Oil... Cheng Lin shuddered.

...

...

The team set off again, but this time everyone was more serious.

Each vehicle is equipped with a sensory practitioner who is exploring the desert in different ways.

During this period, the convoy stopped several times, and some pale, strange bones were dug out from under the sand dunes.

Everyone agreed that this should be a creature in this area. After Death, it rotted and the bones were buried.

Most of these are small, and few of them are tall.

And judging from the bones, the body is more slender.

Probably it is related to acting under the sand.

I also encountered several attacks, all of which were easily resolved by everyone.

The highest level monster I have seen is the third rank. I haven't seen any elite monsters, probably because they are still on the verge of projection.

This made Cheng Lin a little anxious.

After walking for a while, everyone gradually became familiar with this place, but a group of people gathered together to explore such a large area, which is really inefficient.

After the convoy stopped for the eleventh time, Huang Yin gathered everyone up and decided to allocate the team and scatter to explore.

"Now assign teams, ten people in a team, and enter the queue as required. Each queue is assigned a car and kept within one kilometer from each other. It can support each other. Each team is allocated enough flares and potions. And food... signal immediately if there is danger, the two teams closest to each other must immediately support...Okay, now we start to read the list of personnel assignments!"

As the names were clicked, ten queues appeared.

Cheng Lin stood behind the team, listening to the roll call and thinking about how to reasonably leave the team and act alone.

"Or just use the same method as the last Xiandao projection? Or the experience of the fairy floating land..."

Cheng Lin pondered, and suddenly felt that there was no one around him.

He came back to his senses, looked around, and was shocked to find that he was left alone in the whole team, and the rest were already in place.

Then, Huang Yin buttoned the folder with a "pop", and said loudly: "The team is allocated, each team leader takes the team to set off!"

"Yes!"

Hundreds of cultivators replied in unison, vigorously.

When the shout fell, Cheng Lin, who was alone, raised his hand weakly and asked, "That...what about me?"
