I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 679 There are so many treasures! (4k)

Here, Sean sucked up all the precious concentration incense and couldn't eat any more, so he could only continue to float away to other places.

The Yun family members in the city knelt down in a dense crowd, but there was no sign of any unusual changes.

In the family that Sean visited first, the middle-aged man who was the leader finally couldn't help but raise his head.

The materials needed for the Concentrated Mind Incense were extremely precious, and every three years, a great figure from the Yun Family would personally go out of the valley to search for or exchange them. Compared to the precious materials, the craftsmanship of making the Concentrated Mind Incense was even rarer and more complicated.

I heard that the Yun family's ancestor has to personally be involved in making the Soul-Concentrating Incense.

The production of this thing is limited. Each branch family is given six sticks at a time and one is lit every month.

This was to allow the deceased ancestors to absorb the power from the concentration incense - although they did not know if it would work, apart from this, during the time when the incense was lit, their cultivation speed would be much faster.

The custom of lighting incense has been maintained for hundreds of years, and this is the first time that the incense has burned out so quickly.

The middle-aged man raised his head carefully and watched, but no strange phenomenon appeared after the incense burned out.

"Go and see if there is any light on the ancestor's tablet—"

"Eh!"

After a while, the servant came back trotting and whispered, "No change from before..."

"No change? That shouldn't be the case... Is it because the amount is not enough... No, we must ask the elders of the tribe to come and see in person. Aren't they here yet?"

"It should be soon..."

While the Yun family in the city were discussing various methods, Sean, who had eaten and drunk his fill, was floating slowly in the sky.

The valley where the Yun family hides is indeed beautiful, and it cannot be seen from the outside world.

This place is essentially a basin, and I don't know how the Yun family drains the water...

However, he could put other places aside for the time being and set his sights directly on the only mountain in the valley.

The mountain was not very high, but it was surrounded by clouds and mist, and various spiritual creatures roamed everywhere, making it look like a holy land of immortals.

That's what's so strange... With the climatic conditions in the wasteland and the existence of the evil dome, there is no such thing as naturally generated clouds.

Sean floated closer and immediately sensed a familiar force field.

The mountain protection formation outside the valley also exists here.

"It seems like this is really an important place of the Yun family..." Muttering, Sean stared at a 'crane' hovering on the mountainside.

Although it is called a crane, it is somewhat different from the red-crowned crane that people imagine. While the overall color scheme is similar, the "crane" looks more like the Toucan in Pokémon, and it looks bad-tempered.

In a flash, Sean controlled the crane and manipulated its wings to hover into the formation.

However, this time Sean became more cautious. After all, this place was a key protection unit of the Yun family, and the defense facilities were probably more numerous and tighter than the outer mountain protection formation.

This is indeed the case. The situation is fine on the mountainside, but further up, there is a sentry post every three steps and a trap every five steps. Not to mention unfamiliar outsiders, even the Yun family themselves probably won't be able to go up the mountain without guidance.

"It's not easy... Tsk, if someone finds out, it will be hard to sneak in next time."

Sean, who had been here many times, naturally couldn't just barge in rashly. He stared at an old man in a robe in front of him and was in a dilemma.

The old man is quite powerful. He is the overlord wherever he is in the Crimson Lower Layer. Of course, to Sean now, he is just a bug that requires a little force to crush to death.

The problem was that the old man was sitting cross-legged in the center of a force field, and it was faintly felt that he and the entire force field were in a symbiotic state. If he was killed casually, the force field would most likely react directly.

"The Yun family has used these energy fields in their hands to their advantage... Tsk."

A gleam of surprise flashed in the crane's eyes. Several insects crawling on the ground trembled, turned around and crawled towards the old man who was sitting cross-legged.

Just as Sean was about to break in by another method, suddenly, the old man stood up abruptly.

Discovered? Sean looked surprised.

Is the Yun family’s force field so powerful…that it can even detect my etheric body?
Sean was just about to take action when he saw the old man's surprise: "The ancestor's spirit in heaven has reacted? Most of the concentration incense has been absorbed?! Great, great, is the Yun family's grand plan finally going to get on the right track?!"

Sean: “Huh?”

The old man, who didn't even notice Sean, quickly straightened his clothes. He didn't even bother to look after the formation around him. Instead, he took out a prop similar to the eye of the formation and placed it in it. Then he quickly dodged and ran towards the foot of the mountain.

As he ran, he shouted, "Wake up quickly! The spirit of our ancestor in heaven is appearing on earth!"

Following his announcement, the members of the Yun family who were sitting cross-legged in various places leaned out, each showing a look of surprise, and then followed the steps of the elder.

The crane perched on a tree stroked its long beak in a human-like manner and blinked its eyes vividly.

The thing I inhaled turned out to be called the Concentrating Incense?
As for the spirit of the Yun family's ancestors in heaven...

Sean smiled secretly in his heart, spread his wings and flew towards the center of the formation.

Now, your ancestor who has returned for the first time is going to take a look at your important place.

The center of the formation was made to look like an ancient token, but Sean could tell at a glance that it was the key to control the energy field.

It was inconvenient for him to take action when there were people around, but how could he be kept under control with just a key?

Without intending to alert the enemy, Sean bypassed the center of the formation and flew straight to the highest point of the mountain.

It seems that the appearance of the Yun family ancestor is indeed a very important matter. Along the way, there was no one to personally take charge of several difficult-to-handle high-level force fields. They all temporarily put aside their responsibilities and ran down the mountain.

Sean saved a lot of effort and went up, and soon saw a building hidden behind the fog.

The building is ancient and quaint, but half of it is submerged in the rock.

The door of the building was wide open, as if it didn't care about the prying eyes of outsiders - of course, with so many force fields on the mountainside, it would be impossible for outsiders to break in, so there was really no need to take any precautions.

Sean flapped his wings and landed above a pavilion, scanning the surroundings with his sharp eyes.

Others may not care about it, but the Yun family’s ancestor Yun Shan, the legendary cyber swordsman, still needs to be taken seriously.

However, after taking a quick look around, Sean did not find any extremely powerful aura. It seemed that Yunshan's retreat was not on this mountain.

However, in the cave on the other side, a strong energy wave was coming rhythmically - that should be the energy tide driven by the breathing of the creatures in deep sleep.

"It doesn't look like a human, but more like a crazy beast..." Sean raised his eyebrows in surprise.

That aura gave him a slight sense of threat, which meant that the other party was a real deep blue level. Deep blue crazy beast? Compared with the deep blue strong, the deep blue crazy beast was probably even rarer.

To be precise, Sean has not seen any deep blue-level maniac beasts or mutants so far, and there is a paradox here.

The insane beasts only know how to kill, and the energy and blood in their bodies are the source of pollution. The process of human deep red upgrading to deep blue is a kind of self-purification, and once they have completely stepped into it, they will be completely free from the influence of the insane beasts' pollution.

In other words, if Crazy Beast wants to advance to Deep Blue, it seems he can only take the same path.

However, pollution and madness are the instincts and characteristics of the crazy beasts, which are in natural conflict with Deep Blue.

The situation of the mutants is probably much better than that of the Madmons, but not much better. The source of the mutants' power is the genetic mutation after being polluted, and the energy brought by this genetic mutation has an upper limit, so crimson-level mutants are already very rare.

The few bugs Sean caught in Paradise City were truly rare, but if it weren't for the influence of the Corrupted World Tree under the Big Rift, those bugs would not have been able to break through the upper limit of their own genes.

Now, the Yun family actually has a deep blue-level monster hidden here?

Interesting...Interesting...

Sean did not disturb the deep blue level crazy beast or mutant as it was still sleeping. He just kept his eyes on the open door.

There was no energy field in this place anymore. He broke away from the crane and his etheric body floated towards the door.

The door of the building was open, but the interior was truly pitch black, as if the sunlight was blocked outside. The nearly ten-meter-high ceiling did not seem to be designed for humans.

As soon as the etheric body crossed the threshold, Sean felt a wave of exploration coming rapidly.

He looked surprised. This place actually contained a scanning system that he couldn't avoid?

However, Sean did not make any move, but let the scanning waves spread around.

As long as his mental power does not give any alert, it proves that the scanning system of this place cannot detect it. The scanning fluctuations at this time are most likely caused by the detection of a trace of changes brought about by mental power.

Sure enough, after the scan was completed, it quickly went silent after finding nothing abnormal.

Sean floated straight into the house. The front hall was dark and empty. He walked about ten meters inside before he saw a huge statue.

The statue had long fluttering beard and looked like a sage. The stone material, like white jade, gave off a dim and warm glow in the darkness. Only the eyes emitted a bright golden light. However, the golden light was confined to a space of about half a meter around the head.

Taking a glance at the tablet in front of him, Sean learned that the owner of the statue was named Yun Hai, the first head of the Yun family.

"According to the history of the Yun family, this patriarch probably appeared in the first natural era or the second fog era?"

Sean was amazed. After walking around the statue twice, he focused his gaze on the statue's glowing eyes.

The statue is carved in a 3:1 ratio. Its golden eyes are about the size of peaches, and the material looks similar to amber.

Sean frowned slightly and took a step closer. Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation. It was not the statue attacking him, but an autonomous reaction brought about by the golden light.

"Does it have the function of burning spiritual energy?"

Sean didn't care. If his current mental power continued to burn at this rate, it would probably last for a hundred years.

I have eaten the offerings from your ancestors. If you want to burn them, just burn them for a while.

Allowing his mental strength to be burned, Sean moved closer to the eyes and immediately saw what was inside the golden eyes.

He immediately looked shocked.

In the golden light and within the amber, a mini goldfinch with three heads was circling back and forth, and its rice-grain-sized eyes were shining brightly.

The golden light came from the eyes of the golden sparrow.

“This thing…hiss!”

Sean took a breath and remembered the origin of this thing.

There have been related records in the imperial treasury, and the source of the records was the founding emperor of the empire. The former emperor mentioned that there was a special mutant species called the dead bird, and the appearance of the dead bird was recorded as that of a golden sparrow in golden light.

It has three heads, a golden body, and golden eyes. If you enlarge it further, there should be three constantly rotating golden balls in the bird's eyes.

This dead bird is not a new species in the wasteland world. On the contrary, it is a very rare species that has been passed down from the last era.

Sean had also heard Bai Youming mention that this dead bird was probably a creature that appeared in the second foggy era and was brought from another continent.

This dead bird is extremely magical and it is said that it can give people a second soul!

The mysteries of the soul are so profound that even Sean, who is at the deep blue level, doesn't dare to say that he has figured them out. As for the second soul, this involves the deepest mysteries of the soul.

Sean didn't quite believe the story of the second soul, but the magical power of this dead bird was beyond words.

He didn't expect that this legendary dead bird that had long been extinct could actually be found in the statue of the Yun family's ancestor.

However, is this the body of the dead bird or the soul of the dead bird?

Sean looked into those eyes, unable to make a decision.

No, what a bullshit decision!
Sean rolled his eyes. What was there to think about now? The right thing to do was to just take the dead bird away!
The etheric body's hands condensed slightly, and then covered the golden pupils.

Sean was delighted. After briefly materializing, he could sense that there were no restrictions on these pupils. He could just take them away!

However, if I take it out like this, I will definitely be discovered...

After thinking for a while, Sean's mind moved slightly, and his golden pupils made a clicking sound, and the edge was pried loose.

This secret place of the Yun family obviously hides many unknown good things. It is not Sean's style to just take away two dead birds.

Take another look inside, collect all the good stuff you can if time permits, and then pack it all up to take away!
Walking around the statue and going inside, the inside suddenly became bright.

A huge corridor appeared in front of Sean. On both sides of the corridor were dozens of towering arches, with numbers such as "一" and "贰" written on them in order.

Sean walked into the nearest archway, and the interior turned into a pure white room.

There were only two cages in the room, and in the cages were two furry, fat, pure white creatures.

The corner of Sean's mouth twitched.

Pure white crazy beast? !
