“Little Mola, are you alright?”
Ji Zi rushed forward, picking up Little Mola and examining her carefully. Her eyes were full of concern.
“Yeah, I’m fine~,”
“The Star Core was delicious. It tastes like ‘Old Xianzhou Chicken Wrap’ + dark chocolate.”
“Mola wants to eat some more Star Cores.”
“Heehee~”
Mola smiled brightly, full of energy.
“It seems like she’s really alright.”
Seeing Little Mola's vibrant energy, Ji Zi smiled and placed her on the ground.
“But, if you feel anything uncomfortable, you must tell me immediately.”
She was still worried and gave another reminder.
She had initially planned to try the method of sealing the Star Core recorded in the train’s '智库'.
But unexpectedly, before she could even try it, Little Mola swallowed it whole.
If she was really fine?
It seemed that the path of exploration would be much easier in the future.
Just let Mola eat them as snacks.
“Mhm.”
Mola nodded vigorously, then looked down.
“There seems to be something below?”
“Let Mola go take a look.”
She said, her emerald green eyes sparkling with excitement.
Then, her legs suddenly exerted force.
She leaped high, agile like a fox.
‘Whoosh’.
She dived down, plunging into the sand.
With a rumbling sound from the earth, Mola began to dig a tunnel underground at high speed, like a giant dragon weaving through rocks.
Kong Xu Wan Cang: “…”
Foxes dive into snow.
You dive into sand.
Not long after.
Mola emerged from the sand, dragging a mummy.
“Ji Zi.”
“Look,”
“Is this it?”
Bang!
She casually threw the corpse onto the sand.
“Whoa~”
Kong Xu Wan Cang was startled.
He had seen too many dead people, but this one, rapidly dehydrated and turned into a dried chicken... It was still the first time he had seen someone die so miserably.
The mummy was very broken, as if it had been subjected to artillery fire before its death?
The thigh was broken.
Half of its body was buried in the yellow sand.
The dry 'Salsoto' desert could dehydrate a body and turn it into a mummy within a short hour.
Not to mention a body with a broken leg and flowing blood.
“It seems it fell from the sky and crashed directly into the sand.”
Walter glanced at the body.
Then he looked up at the sky.
He speculated.
After all, its head was flattened.
“The long-lasting impact of the ‘Meteorite Cluster’ caused Salsoto’s rotation to stop.”
“The scorching summer sun and the freezing cold of night, lasting for half a year, became a reality.”
“Salsoto only has two remaining mobile cities, clinging to the terminator line, constantly moving.”
“I don’t know how long it took, but the two mobile cities, ‘Airport’ and ‘Tumbleweed’, that never met each other, finally met.”
“The turrets on the wreckage are pointed at each other.”
“Maybe it was to fight for the remaining resources, maybe it was because they went crazy, but war began.”
“In the end, the two cities turned into the same ruins.”
Ji Zi said, shaking her head regretfully.
“It seems this mummy was the one whose thigh was hit by artillery fire and fell during the war.”
Walter nodded, then looked at Ji Zi with confusion.
“So we are here...?”
“His equipment.”
Ji Zi pointed at the protective gear on the mummy’s body.
The dry erosion of the wind and sand was very fast, the body did not rot, and the protective gear, etc., had not been infected.
This was very valuable.
“Ah? We, the nameless travelers, are… doing the work of grave robbers?”
Kong Xu Wan Cang was stunned.
“Mhm?”
“Hei Ta loves to collect these things.”
“Nameless travelers need funds to explore.”
“Occasionally, we earn some ‘extra money’.”
Ji Zi smiled gracefully.
Walter remembered that Ji Zi’s great sword was from Hei Ta’s collection.
What is an ‘artifact’?
It’s not the round icon in the game, it’s actually the objects left behind by the deceased, ancient objects, and so on.
Short for ‘artifact’.
But, not all ‘遗物’ can be called ‘artifacts’.
First, it must enter the profound and unspeakable ‘crack world’.
Then, it must be stained with the information pheromone of the crack world dust, so that it can be restored and enhanced.
Simply put, it is ‘enchanting’.
A very special enchantment.
Pam Note: Collecting a set can summon magical powers.
So, not every corpse’s armor can be transformed into an ‘artifact’, this is something that is hard to come by!
Sets are even rarer.
Ji Zi smiled and reached out to pull at the corpse.
As a scientist, she had no qualms.
“Let me do it.”
Walter took the lead.
He pulled off the ‘翔鹰的长喙头盔’, ‘鹰击指环’, and ‘翼装束带’ from the mummy.
“Oh? The beak part of this eagle helmet seems to have an inscription.”
Walter took a look.
But he couldn’t understand the language of the Salsoto people.
Ji Zi took it over and nodded, “The earth is not the shackles of the eagle, wings are. Because of it, you must fly.”
Kong Xu Wan Cang: “Sounds like a eulogy?”
“Yeah, in the traditional rituals of Salsoto, ‘landing’ means death, flying cannot stop.”
“Every helmet will be inscribed with a eulogy in advance.”
Ji Zi explained.
“This ring seems to have…”
Kong Xu Wan Cang leaned in to examine it carefully, but unfortunately, the inscription on the eagle-strike ring was already mottled and completely unclear.
“It’s ‘responsibility’.”
“It’s ‘responsibility’,”
“Unexpectedly, he was a ‘fishing captain’, that makes it even more valuable.”
Ji Zi recognized it after a while and smiled.
Only the most skilled, most respected and reliable fishing captains would be awarded the ‘Eagle-Strike Ring’.
Hei Ta was going to bleed a lot this time.
“This belt?”
“Sss… it even has hair?”
Kong Xu Wan Cang instinctively wanted to throw it away.
But Ji Zi snatched it away.
“You can’t throw this away.”
“The belt is the lifeblood of the air fishermen.”
“This mummy was obviously married, the hair in the belt should have been provided by his wife.”
“Legend has it that this kind of wing-mounted belt will be blessed with ‘home’, protecting the air fishermen so they can safely return home.”
Ji Zi explained.
It was very touching.
But there are always those who spoil the atmosphere.
Kong Xu Wan Cang shrugged, “Unfortunately, this time, it didn’t protect him.”
Walter乛_乛: “If you can’t speak, don’t say anything.”
“Too bad! Missing the leg straps!”
“I’ll search around for it.”
Ji Zi said.
It was clear.
When the air fishermen still existed, the Star Cores were still active on Salsoto, and the crack world existed at the same time.
After this mummy fell, it was eroded by the crack world.
It just happened to be contaminated by the crack world dust information.
Unfortunately.
If the leg straps were still there, and if they could be collected together to make a complete set, the value would be doubled.
…
At this time, in the ‘斩赤红’ world.
Su Zhe was surprised to find that he could actually spread his ‘true name’.
