Chapter 247: Ancient Weapon · Yinshan Jun
Chapter 247: Ancient Weapon · Yinshan Jun
Under Qin Muye's guidance, the two of them quickly arrived at the location.
A cave hidden by various weeds and fallen rocks, if not for Qin Muye's careful identification, even Zong Si might not have noticed it.
"Damn, this is real, Professor Li, you're really amazing." Zong Si couldn't help but curse, previously thinking this was a great treasure, now he felt this person was like an ancestor.
Making up for past mistakes? No, no, no, as long as they found the ancient weapon named Yinshan Jun, he would immediately rise to prominence.
"Come on, let's go inside." Saying this, Zong Si drew a wolf-headed knife from his waist and easily cut through the obstacles.
These obstacles seemed to be deliberately placed, and once inside the cave, it was clear that this was not a natural formation but a man-made structure.
A normal cave wouldn't be so smooth and even, and there were still some remnants, though this place had been abandoned for a very long time.
It was probably because the obstacles had concealed it that no one had come here until now, making them the first visitors.
A light source appeared in Zong Si's hand, illuminating the originally pitch-black cave. He likely did this to help Qin Muye, who he saw as just a newly ascended Shadow Walker, not yet fully awakened to the shadows, and thus lacking night vision.
Zong Si was also quite excited, as Qin Muye rarely made mistakes. Generally, as long as he spoke, the ruins could be found, though whether there would be any rewards was uncertain. After all, he knew Qin Muye was human, not a god, and couldn't guarantee the preservation of resources in the ruins.
So, he now only hoped that the ancient weapon named Yinshan Jun would be well-preserved.
As they delved deeper, they discovered a door and walls made of black iron, clearly thick and likely requiring a significant amount of iron ore to construct.
This made Zong Si even more excited.
"Professor Li, can you open it?" Zong Si asked.
Qin Muye looked around: "It can be opened, but it's a bit troublesome and will take some time."
"Then we can't wait, I'll break the door." Zong Si, hearing that it would take time, couldn't wait and decided to take action himself.
He wielded his wolf-toothed knife, which glowed with light, and a silver-white giant wolf appeared, charging at the iron door.
His weapon was part of his Shadow Gear, and when combined with Shadow Techniques, it could slice through modern alloys, let alone an ancient iron door with inferior smelting techniques.
However, the iron door did not shatter as he imagined. Instead, the white wolf and the blade dispersed upon impact, causing his confident expression to falter. He hadn't expected this situation.
"Don't rush into it. I suspect this iron door and walls are part of Yinshan Jun. If you really break it, we'll have to run immediately," Qin Muye, who was trying to figure out how to open the door, couldn't help but comment.
He now suspected that this might be a large mecha. Don't ask how it was made; in a world where shadows could be animated, an ancient mecha was not so surprising.
"Really? Yinshan Jun is that big?" Zong Si was also shocked.
Qin Muye thought for a moment: "Conservatively, it's about the size of that ancient shadow beast. If my calculations are correct, we are probably at the chest area, which is the cockpit."
Zong Si swallowed: "This is just too incredible."
"Stop being amazed and come help me." Qin Muye quickly found the entrance mechanism.
There were no special mechanisms, just a large door bolt buried in the ground.
Seeing the door bolt, Zong Si was also shocked. He hadn't expected this to be only half of the door, meaning the entire structure was even larger.
"Wait a moment, I need to use a Shadow Technique to increase my strength, otherwise, I won't be able to pull it. And even if I pull the bolt, I might not be able to open the door in this situation."
Zong Si knew his shadow was skilled in assassination, not strength, so he needed to buff himself. If it were Qingjiao, he might have been able to pull it open by hand, but he couldn't.
Qin Muye didn't know what Shadow Technique Zong Si used, but the originally streamlined silver wolf Shadow Gear now looked more muscular.
"Professor Li, move back a bit. I'm afraid I might hurt you if I lose control," Zong Si said as he walked over and gave a warning.
However, he soon realized that Qin Muye had already moved far away, not needing his reminder at all. This left Zong Si with a black line on his forehead, realizing that this Professor Li was truly afraid of death.
But now wasn't the time to think about that; they needed to pull the door bolt as quickly as possible.
Enormous strength burst forth, and the soil around the buried door bolt began to loosen due to his pulling.
With a roar, a massive silver-white wolf appeared behind Zong Si, and the heavy door bolt was forcefully pulled up. He then shifted his grip, lifting it upright.
It was clear that this had taken a significant toll on him.
But this was just the beginning; there was still a door to push open.
Seeing this, Zong Si had to muster his strength once more, grabbing the door seam and pulling outward. The silver-white wolf solidified, and a bright moon suddenly appeared, with the wolf howling to the sky.
"Open up!!!"
At this shout, Qin Muye could vaguely see the veins bulging on Zong Si's body, despite being hidden by his Shadow Gear. If not for the Shadow Gear, it might have been a good opportunity to observe varicose veins.
Indeed, this was a formidable Shadow Walker, and Zong Si's strength was not to be underestimated. The iron door was forcibly pried open, creating a gap large enough for a person to pass through.
"Phew~ Phew~ Professor Li, it's done," Zong Si said, panting heavily.
The iron door itself wasn't heavy, but the soil was the main issue. Since the lower part was buried in the ground, there was no time to dig it out, so he had to use brute force to pry it open along with the soil.
This effort almost sent Zong Si over the edge.
Of course, it was also because his shadow wasn't specialized in strength, making the task more difficult. His own limitations played a part as well.
"Zong Si is truly impressive, managing to pry it open by hand. How about you go in first, Zong Si?" Qin Muye suggested.
The recovering Zong Si looked up at Qin Muye, his face full of exasperation. "Professor, if you want me to scout, just say so. No need to be so polite."
Zong Si was only teasing and didn't dare suggest that Qin Muye go in first. Instead, he went in first to check, then called out, "Professor, come in, it's safe."
Hearing this, Qin Muye slowly walked in, but he stumbled and almost fell flat on his face when he stepped into a five-meter drop. The ground was soft and blood-like, with long, vein-like tubes spread throughout.
Zong Si was nearby, ready to help, but he saw Qin Muye land steadily and decided not to intervene.
"It looks like this is the control room of Yinshan Jun," Qin Muye said.
Zong Si, however, found it strange that there were no control mechanisms, only a chair with a skeleton sitting on it nearby.
"Zong Si, go close the door tightly. We need to find the ancient shadow beast and take revenge."
Qin Muye, now just a weak records keeper, naturally left this task to Zong Si.
Zong Si was very excited and moved quickly.
"Done, Professor. What's next?" Zong Si asked as he joined Qin Muye.
Qin Muye pulled the skeleton off the chair and said, "Come, sit on the golden throne, and you will be the Emperor of Sacred Terra!"
"Are you sure? I feel like something's off," Zong Si said, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.
"Don't worry, I won't trick you," Qin Muye said, swiftly pushing Zong Si into the chair.
In the next moment, the vein-like tubes began to squirm, and countless shadows seeped into the chair. Zong Si's consciousness was abruptly drawn away, and an immense force stirred, revitalized by the surge of power. In that instant, Zong Si forgot the reason why Qin Muye could so effortlessly force him into the chair, an irrational detail.
Huangyuanshan began to tremble, and the surrounding area shook as if a giant, long-dormant, was preparing to stand up.
