Chapter 197: Chapter 186: Obsessions and Remnantsl

Translator: 549690339

North of the Tianyuan Territory, about a hundred kilometers away from the border.

Here, the mountains are steep and endless.

Between two not-so-tall peaks, within a weed-infested land, an old gray stone platform is half buried. With intricate carvings on the stone platform, faint traces of civilization could be discerned.

Step – Step – Step ~

A black-armored troop pushes through thorns and bushes, walking on steep mountains as if they’re flatland.

A fair amount of weeds have grown since they were last here, a few goblins hiding within the bushes have somehow made their way here.

They are disturbed by the heavy footsteps and charge out from the bushes with a roar, with sharpened wooden spears pointed at the leading Skeleton General.

Snap.

The wooden spear breaks.

The Skeleton General lowers its head, looking down at the goblin that only reaches its knee, casting a large shadow in front and behind it.

It stretches out its hand, its large palm gripping the goblin’s head, and squeezes tightly.

“Splat    ”

“Very good, very spirited.”

Lu Liu came from a distance and instructed the group, “Clean out the surroundings a bit for Miss Isloa’s magic operation later.”

Lu Liu is the temporary commander of this temporary army.

Naturally, this is not the Trump Card Battle Group, but the second line of elites being prepared to fill the Hundred People Battle Group.

As many platoon leaders have self-awareness, Lu Liu, a ‘foreigner’, can also command them.

Where is General Dead Bone?

Of course, he is leading the Trump Card Battle Group, exploring and expanding step by step at the forefront of the map.

General Duo Lai often acts alone, aiming at certain tricky monster groups or wandering powerful monsters. Occasionally, he also takes actions to eliminate and purify small-scale Lands of Filth.

There are also three Hunting Teams, six Transport Teams, moving back and forth in these ‘relatively safe yet monster-infested’ intermediate areas.

The Hunting Teams are hunting monsters and providing sacrifices while also undertaking second-level exploration tasks.

This hidden relic stone platform was accidentally discovered during the patrol of the Hunting Team.

Tianyuan’s exploration speed is now several times faster than in the early stage.

However, other new Lords are not slower in their exploration.

They may not be able to form battle groups or teams, but they can hire players to cast a wide net. The ‘Historical Remains’ that Lord Da Ri encountered was discovered by the player he hired.

However, the reliability of hiring players is questionable, as they also sold the news of the Historical Remains to several other Lords.

Lord Da Ri rushed into the remnants to get ahead, not fully prepared, and in the end he lost his troops.

“Da Ri is not steady enough in doing things.”

Mu Yuan commented sharply.

Despite this, Lord Da Ri had no choice.

He had a choice, so he was steady with every step he took.

Mu Yuan observed this circular array platform through the eyes of his Battle Falcon from different angles.

After a while, a streak of light came from a distance, it was Isloa stepping on the River of Stars, commanding the river. Regardless of whether the River of Stars is strong, it seems quite good as a means of transportation?

After Isloa landed, she nodded slightly to Lu Liu and several platoon leaders, and soon stepped forward, studied the stone platform intently.

Soon, her frowned eyebrows relaxed, revealing confident eyes.

“Didn’t you have no clue some time ago?”

Mu Yuan asked.

Isloa replied in the Spiritual Link, “That’s not comparable, back in those days, I was just ordinary; now, I’m an Epic Life. Of course, I can see different things.

“Cough cough. Simply put, to repair this teleportation array, I find it very difficult, but… getting it to run is not difficult. Just like this… this… and like this.”

The Great Lord Mu understood!

Bit by bit.

In short, forcibly activate the Teleportation Array. Based on this broken array, locate the other side, then use special power to complete it and achieve the purpose of teleportation.

Isloa began to probe and operate.

She embedded some Soul Crystals in several positions on the platform and infused energy. The dim blue light gradually brightened, spreading along the Array Patterns, drawing a… teleportation array that’s slightly different from the original one.

It took a few hours for Isloa to get ready, then confidently announced, “I’m not boasting, but this teleportation portal is definitely going to open. However, the entire platform will be scrapped after one use.”

Since that was the case, in order to be cautious and not to fall into the same footsteps as Lord Da Ri, Mu Yuan resisted the urge to immediately open the door.

He began to enlist people.

General Dead Bone, who was tens of kilometers away, handed the command to Hong Yi, and together with several Skeleton Morticians and Resentful Spirits, rushed over.

General Duo Lai was even farther away, but he shot into the sky and arrived at the site of the stone platform sooner than General Dead Bone.

In the blink of an eye,

Dead Bone, Duo Lai, Isloa, the three great generals of Tianyuan, all gathered in this unremarkable place.

Isloa officially started working. Using the skill ‘Star Road’s Gate’ as a guide, she activated the entire teleportation array. In an instant, strands of deep blue light dispersed. Instead of directly teleporting the targets on the stone platform, it formed a whirlpool-like teleportation gate with a diameter exceeding three meters right here.

Dead Bone immediately resurrected a few crippled Little Skeletons from the surroundings of the goblin corpses, and commanded them to stumble into the teleportation gate.

A moment later, it nodded slightly and dispatched a Skeleton General, tentatively stepping into it.

“It’s okay, let’s go.”

It took big steps forward and stepped into the whirlpool-like light gate.

The space opposite the teleportation array was not large; it seemed like a small secret realm. Various kinds of miscellaneous items were piled up in the center, and there were also several experiment tables set up around. Whether it was due to haste or something else, the furnishings here seemed quite messy.

Under the effect of time magic, they seemed somewhat old.

I wonder if we can find anything useful.

Mu Yuan thought.

Ka-ka-ka-!

A strange noise suddenly echoed. Not far away, a pile of seemingly dead objects morphed and transformed, turning into one mechanical guard after another.

Even if they are covered in dust, these mechanical guards still possessed significant strength.

Boom !

The Skeleton Mortician, who came with Dead Bone, promptly attacked, cutting down with a heavy sword, which caused the just-awakened mechanical guard, who might still be stiff, to stumble slightly.

The mortician then made a fierce step forward. As he threw a forward punch, bone spikes burst out from his shoulder area.

Crash,crash,crash,crash!

In the blink of an eye, the mechanical guard was pierced in mid-air by a robust bone spike, with more than ten large holes torn open on its body, and its arm broken, scattering parts on the ground.

The remaining Skeleton Morticians and Resentful Spirits quickly dealt with the awakened mechanical guards without needing the three generals of Dead Bone to take action.

This was the cream of the crop of Tianyuan.

“Next, it’s time to reap the benefits.”

Duo Lai rubbed his hands, his big eyes blinking as he looked around. But before he could begin the enjoyable process of scavenging, another anomaly once again occurred.

A faint phantom emerged from a deeper place.

His figure was somewhat blurry, semi-transparent, and one could vaguely see that he was a man in a robe, holding a hardcover book in his hand.

He seemed neither real nor illusionary, somewhat resembling the light shadows circulating on high-tier remnants of souls.

But this was not a remnant soul.

“It’s… the remnants of obsession!”

Just as the thought crossed Mu Yuan’s mind, a strong momentum suddenly surged from the body of the distant blurry figure. The figure slightly opened his mouth, the pages of the book rustling as a visible ripple dispersed all around.

Boom

The Skeleton Morticians in the near distance, who were as if hit by a truck, were thrown and smashed directly into the surrounding stone walls, leaving human­shaped dents. Their armors and skeletal structures all cracked.

Dead Bone took two steps forward and blocked the incoming ripple with his heavy sword.

It looked to both sides, seeing some broken bones was not a big issue for the Skeleton Morticians, so it didn’t need to take action to recover.

“No, the problem is serious!”

All around, the piles of miscellaneous items shattered inch by inch under the ripple’s shock, like withering leaves.

The farther experiment tables and rotten bookshelves all broke and collapsed.

Duo Lai’s eyes turned red.

It saw that the figure in the distance was about to flip the pages of the book again. Infuriated, it opened its mouth wide and bit down.

“Snap     ”

A serrated spatial crack appeared on the blurry figure’s body, swallowing him from top to bottom.

Crash!

Space shattered like a mirror, then healed again. The figure was encapsulated inside, just the right size.

At the same time,

As Duo Lai killed the remnant of obsession, a faint light ball flew out from the spatial crack and flew straight towards Duo Lai.

Duo Lai opened his mouth and swallowed it in one bite.

Mu Yuan: “???”You eat everything!

But the next moment,

“Ding!”

“Warning: Duo Lai devoured the power from the remnant of the obsessed. Gained some experience from the previous lives of the strong with obsessions.”

“Warning: Your hero ‘Duo Lai’ has captured an opportunity and stepped into the semi-domain state.”
