Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 85 Discovering Clues

Bai Yang's prediction was correct. In a mysterious room, the Paz brothers were closely monitoring Bai Yang's every move.

On a strange screen, his entire body transformed into a human figure composed of lines.

Although the specific colors are not visible, all the movements are clearly visible.

This device, derived from the earliest exploration of ancient ruins, can emit light waves that are incomprehensible to Earth's technology, allowing it to detect various situations.

In previous excavations, the most precious find from Site No. 5 was undoubtedly the Muya crystal!

This device has an extremely sensitive ability to detect objects containing extremely high levels of life energy.

"Such powerful life energy!" Gu Qing Pas exclaimed as he looked at the screen.

"He is indeed only one step away from 'above the God of War'," his brother, Gushan Paz, sighed.

"Seventh Brother, what are your plans if he really does find something?"

After hearing this, Gushan Paz looked conflicted.

After a long pause, he finally said, "We definitely can't resort to violence. We need to resolve this peacefully! Let's have a good talk with Jia Yi."

Gu Qing Pas asked in surprise, "You're willing to part with it?"

Gushan Paz sighed, "What can we do if we're reluctant? Didn't we prepare ourselves mentally when we sent out the invitations? It's better than having nothing!"

You can do without things; at most, you can maintain the status quo.

However, if this offends a powerful force, the situation in the African base city will only worsen.

The two of them have reached this point, and they still have a sense of the balance between gains and losses.

Every time a new member of parliament arrives, they experience this feeling of gain and loss.

It has never been truly tested before, so what will happen this time?

-

Bai Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, one hand supporting his chin.

In the past ten minutes or so, he had tried out all the detection abilities he had learned from various monsters.

Whether it's sonar, infrared, shock waves, or testing resistance differences, telekinetic scanning, or air blasting, the entire hall has been scanned back and forth seventeen or eighteen times.

He believed that all known means of human technology had been used, but to no avail.

If it weren't for the hints on the spiritual energy meter, he might have already given up.

A minute ago, he finally took out the spiritual energy meter to probe.

The compass needle swung erratically, but it told him with absolute certainty that there was something there!

Judging from the reaction of this equipment, there is definitely a highly spiritual object here.

But strangely, its location was uncertain and its size seemed unpredictable, leaving him completely baffled.

Bai Yang absolutely believed in Ling Qi Ji's answer; there must be something wrong here!

However, he didn't have much spiritual power, so he could only wait half an hour before he could be tested a second time.

He had a private conversation with Yang Wu, and Yang Wu simply lay down by the door.

The Paz brothers, watching from a distance in a room, frowned deeply.

Are they preparing for a long-term battle here?

But they couldn't show themselves to ask questions, lest they expose that they had been monitoring them all along, right?

The two began to feel a growing sense of unease, but could only patiently continue watching.

Half an hour later, Bai Yang held the spiritual energy meter and tested it again.

This time, the spirit gauge needle started jumping wildly again.

He carefully observed the direction the compass needle swung, and after twenty seconds, when the spiritual energy was exhausted, the compass stopped.

With his eyes closed, Bai Yang mentally connected the directions of the pointers into a line.

Then compare it with the layout of the entire command hall.

He soon discovered that the pointer's trajectory covered a very large area of ​​the entire hall.

This area is ridiculously large; it's excessively large to use it for hiding things.

He walked toward the area and began to examine this part closely.

The same detection method was used again, but nothing unusual was found.

Where is the problem?

Bai Yang was puzzled, but this area should be correct.

Even if I use the spiritual energy trick again, I believe it will still point to this place.

Is such a large area really suitable for hiding things?

Won't someone find out?

It looks like a solid, hard alloy with excellent strength.

There weren't even many scratches on it, so it would obviously take a tremendous amount of effort for a member of parliament to crack it.

How could this metal possess "spiritual energy"?

How could truly precious metals be damaged and leave marks by mere planetary-level metals?

Bai Yang pondered for a long time but still couldn't grasp the key point.

I decided to wait another half hour and then stick the spiritual energy meter onto this large piece of metal to see if there would be any reaction.

During this waiting period, having nothing to do, he simply closed his eyes and began to comprehend the laws of the universe.

His understanding of both principles has improved considerably during this period.

I believe that as long as I persevere, I will definitely be able to perceive a trace of the fundamental laws of the universe.

Various insights and ideas about the laws repeatedly appeared in his mind.

A moment later, Bai Yang suddenly thought of something.

In this universe, the six fundamental elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and space—belong to the same category.

Could the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth here be somewhat similar to the "Five Elements" in Chinese philosophy?

Although it was never shown in the original work, it would be good if I could start from this direction.

Wouldn't it be much faster to comprehend other laws by first mastering one of them?

The laws of light are relatively complex, so let's assume he starts with the fundamental laws of water.

Metal generates water, so when Bai Yang faces the Golden Horned Beast, he will definitely have to bite off some pieces of its flesh.

In that case, I should at least gain an affinity with the laws of space, right?

He even felt that the Golden Horned Beast was a favorite of the fundamental law of metal.

If we really get our hands on its flesh and blood, not only will we be bound to have "metal affinity", but we might even be able to go a step further.

For example, what about the "favor" of the metal element?

He'd be more "friendly" than "favorite," but less so than "spoiled." If he could achieve that, he'd be content!

Bai Yang thought the idea was increasingly brilliant, feeling that the future was bright.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

Spiritual energy? Metal generates water? Life?

Spaceship! ?

A guess involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

Could this metallic area be the remains of some metallic life form?

It chose to assimilate with the spaceship, or perhaps just this command module shell!

Because it is essentially a living organism, it once had a soul!

Therefore, it possesses "spiritual energy"!

But its body is actually just a lump of metal, so the instruments can't detect it.

This is beyond Earthlings' understanding of life forms!

No matter how you look at it, it's just a lump of ordinary alloy with not much strength!

Even planetary-level experts can force it open, but it is extremely difficult.

It's tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away, so I just leave it alone.

But Bai Yang, being a time traveler, could understand the existence of such life forms!

If something is enveloped by this life form and the instruments can't detect it, that's perfectly normal!
