Alien Dust

Chapter 485: Yuan Guang Yuan You
……

Guo Hong and Lu Xian were found in the city. They were hiding in the Free Trade Street as ordinary gold diggers, selling the mutated organs obtained from the zombie tide.

When Wu Hen brought Temple Concubine Taya to them, both of them were quite surprised.

"The whole city is holding a heroic ceremony for her," said Guo Hong.

After learning about Taya's identity, Guo Hong and Lu Xian were a little overwhelmed. In the past, ordinary clergymen like those in the Languang Temple were unattainable, but now Wu Hen had kidnapped one, and it seemed that they were communicating very harmoniously.

"It's a bit strange that we were identified as corpse kings. To figure this out, we must first go to the Ancient Lizard Pond." Wu Hen said seriously.

When Guo Hong and Lu Xian listened to Wu Hen's words, big question marks flashed in their minds.

Is there any connection between these two things?

Lu Xian was about to ask, but Guo Hong reacted faster. Although he didn't know why Wu Hen said such illogical words, he still echoed: "Yes, we have to go to the Ancient Lizard Pond. Maybe we will get the answer there."

The two only knew that the clue to the ancient lizard pond was given by Marquis Changqiu, and that there were fragments of high-dimensional Yuanyou there.

"The Ancient Lizard Pond is in our Languang Temple. When we get there, we can find out who wants to harm me?" Taiya asked.

"Yes, Guo Hong, didn't you just say that you heard the commander's secret conversation? He was going to meet with some mysterious figure in the Ancient Lizard Pond. If we wait for them there, we will know what they are plotting. Maybe they are going to do something evil to destroy the Languang Temple. This is not only related to the life and death of you as the temple concubine, but also the survival of the entire Languang Temple in Oasis City." Wu Hen saw that Guo Hong had already understood, and immediately said in a serious manner.

Guo Hong couldn't quite keep up with Wu Hen's train of thought, and just kept nodding: "Ah, right, right, right..."

"That's a big deal!" Taiya said nervously, "Luckily you didn't let me show up, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play the long game and catch the big fish."

"Now you are the ghost agent of Languang Temple. Others think you are dead, but in fact you are investigating a terrible conspiracy against Languang Temple. Once you find the real culprit and expose their evil plan, you can make the fact that you are still alive public and let everyone look at you with admiration." Wu Hen casually applied a common routine from a Western blockbuster movie to arouse Taya's enthusiasm for defense.

Sure enough, Taiya not only had no resistance to most things in the outside world, but also had no resistance to such unpretentious lies. Her eyes, as pure as pearls, were filled with the firmness and wisdom of the goddess of light!
"Without further delay, let's hurry to the Ancient Lizard Pond. I know a secret passage. Most of the Knights of the Storm Light Temple are attending my funeral now, so no one should find us." Taya said.

How could someone like Mr. Corpse King, who has saved me many times, deceive me?

He must have extraordinary wisdom and vision.

……

The funeral was extremely grand, and it also demonstrated the status of Princess Languangmiao in this oasis city.

Not long ago, Oasis City had experienced a large-scale zombie invasion, and the whole city was extremely tired. As the funeral entered the drinking stage, people couldn't help but relax their vigilance and began to sing and dance while mourning.

Taiya felt a little lost.

She thought many people would cry for her. After all, she had helped many people in the past and enabled them to live a stable life in this Oasis City.

But when she passed a funeral buffet area, she found that most people were obsessed with the food on the buffet table. They drank sweet wine and tasted meaty pastries. It was no different from an official grand dinner. Only when everyone presented flowers did everyone put away their smiles to show respect for the deceased.

"I thought everyone would cry for me all day, but it turned out that the tears they shed were not as much as the wine they drank." Taiya pouted, and her unhappiness was written directly on her cheeks.

"You have been living in a fairy tale for too long. I don't understand who is so smart as to let you out into the world so early." Wu Hen said.

"I'm very capable, I just... have some minor problems." Taya emphasized.

Wu Hen recalled the scene where Taiya served as a human shield for him but remained unharmed.

Oh, by the way, this woman’s defense attribute points are also maxed out. My previous full-strength attack with an eighth-level life force didn’t hurt her, and she fainted entirely because of her phobia.

"Is this the way in?" Wu Hen pointed to an iron fence in front.

"Well, our temple queen is a vegetarian, but the rest of us prefer barbecue, so some smart managers opened a path here to transport the meat in," said Taiya.

After walking into the path, there were stairs in front of them, leading to the underground. Wu Hen used his hearing to probe inside, and after making sure that there was no danger inside, he led the three of them into the secret passage of Languang Temple.

The secret passage was built very simply, and was mainly used by the cook to deliver food...

Sure enough, the secret passage eventually reached the kitchen of Lan Guang Temple.

The Languang Temple was built in a man-made cave. The cave is quite spacious, and there are many luminous crystals inlaid on the rock walls. There is even a large piece of crystal that is like a beautiful and dazzling lamp hanging from the center of the artificial cave, illuminating most of the cave as if it were daytime. The light also has a little warmth, making the Languang Temple not dark and damp because it is built underground, but magnificent. "The ancient lizard pool is deeper, we just need to go down along the dark steps of the stone platform over there." Taiya said.

It was the first time that Taiya returned home, but he felt like a thief, just like when he was a child and meat was strictly prohibited behind the temple, but he secretly ate roasted chicken.

Although they encountered several knights in black and gold armor along the way, they were able to pass through the dark steps smoothly under the skilled leadership of Taiya, the traitor.

The dark steps were very long, as if extending deep into the earth. It was very dim at first, but slowly, rays of light were reflected on the smooth rocks and minerals. The rocks and minerals themselves were rich in color, scattering the phantom colors into the air like light liquid paint. So before they even got close to the mysterious ancient lizard pond, they felt like they were surrounded by soft water light.

Going further down, it is hard to tell whether you are in a deep pool of colorful colors or in a maze of magical minerals.

"This is the ancient lizard pond." Taiya said.

"But what about the pond?"

"Water is light, and light is water. We are already in the ancient lizard pond." said Taiya.

"Where is the ancient lizard?" Wu Hen asked.

"It was killed by us. When we were building the temple here, we found an ancient crustal lizard. It had a very bad temper and would not allow us to excavate here. We had to hunt it. Then we discovered that the underground light here contained a mysterious energy that could provide Oasis City with a steady supply of weapon light reserves and could also wash the holy weapons for our Languang Temple." Taya said.

Oh, it turns out there is no ancient lizard guarding it.

Wu Hen had guessed from Taiya's description that there had been a very ancient giant lizard here in the past, entrenched in the deep rocks of this stratum like a ground dragon, greedily absorbing the energy of the abyss light...

Not long after, a group of powerful and brutal members of the Languang Temple arrived. They robbed the monitor lizard's nest, killed the monitor lizard, and built an underground temple here.

With the underground temple, there was soon faith and shelter here. With faith and shelter, Oasis City also prospered and stood in this wasteland.

What a simple historical story! The mysterious pond was actually named after the ancient lizard.

"It seems that there are mineral deposits underneath, and they are sustainable..." Wu Hen said to Guo Hong.

"Then Marquis Changqiu didn't tell the truth. What you need are high-dimensional Yuanyou fragments, not this kind of endless and continuous energy. It can be seen that the energy of Oasis City's powerful Glazed Cannon comes from here." Guo Hong said.

Wu Hen also fell into deep thought.

Judging from Marquis Changqiu's reaction at the time, he was not lying.

In terms of value, this ancient lizard pond is indeed very good, no less than the Yacheng jade mine in the Zhenwu Continent, and its mining rate is very high.

But Wu Hen couldn't move this kind of mineral deposit away. Perhaps the total Yuanguang energy obtained from mining for twenty or thirty years could be comparable to that of a high-dimensional Yuanyou fragment. And it was impossible for Wu Hen to stay here for twenty or thirty years.

"Forget it. There's no need to hide it at this time. Let me open something and figure out the direction of the spiritual vein here first." Wu Hen released the seal of his perception.

He activated his sense of taste, feeling the flow of the spiritual rhythm of the entire ancient lizard pond.

Soon, those special spiritual factors were like fireflies with faint light. They flew in groups and formed a clear path in Wu Hen's perception. This path floated towards a rock crack.

Wu Hen walked towards the crack in the rock and leaned sideways so that he could squeeze in.

"There is a road here?" Taiya asked in surprise. She often came here to reflect on her mistakes and didn't know there was a secret passage here.

After passing the crack, there is a closed cave, like a secret underground temple. There is a very dim light in the underground temple, which can only illuminate the irregular outline of the underground temple.

And in the center of the underground hall, a Yuan Guang Yuan You was floating.

This Yuan You is extremely pure. The moment Wu Hen saw it, he knew that this was the high-dimensional Yuan You fragment that Marquis Changqiu had mentioned. It was a treasure that could allow his hearing sense to evolve to the fifth level.

At this moment, it is floating in the underground temple, without any defense, as if one can just walk up to it and pick it away.

But after walking in the alien wasteland for so many years, Wu Hen knew that things would definitely not be that simple. Now that he had opened his perception, he also scanned out all the threats in the area.

Surprisingly, there was no danger at all.

There are no mechanisms, no traps, no powerful guards, and no outrageous restrictions. She is as pure as the temple concubine Taya, and can be taken away with just a flick of the cane!
