Chapter 177 - Ancient Remains (XI)

Editors: Humu & Kitty

Now, Luo Jian was sitting on a pile of insect corpses and took a deep breath.

Although the insect corpses were disgusting, Luo Jian was a little tired and too lazy to move. It was not a good idea to keep chopping them down. The terrifying numbers of insects made it impossible to chop them all completely. Finally, using the tang sword copied from Duan Li, Luo Jian increased his speed so that he could break through the encirclement.

“Duan Li’s sword is really easy to use.” Luo Jian randomly waved the blade in his hand. The length of the sword was almost the same as the height of his body. It was not very comfortable to hold and swing it, but the weapon’s skill that allowed him to accelerate in speed felt great to use.

In fact, Luo Jian could have escaped with a better weapon. For example, his ability to reduce his sense of self-existence could only be used when the weapon was in its red umbrella state. Because the red umbrella had almost no attack ability, the hypnotic ability became the only defense—

However, it seemed that this skill did not work well for these insects. Maybe hypnosis was better for intelligent creatures. And for creatures such as insects which could only obey simple orders, as far as it was an insect, when he used his hypnotism, it was the same as when he did not use it.

Another example was Xing Yan’s spatial knife. What he originally copied was Xing Yan’s weapon. His red umbrella had also mimicked the magical spatial knife for ages. Although instantaneous movement was restricted by the secret chamber, it did not mean that Luo Jian could not use it.

But Luo Jian did not know why but he was not willing to use this knife in plain sight in front of Xing Yan. Even though he had been separated from Xing Yan for a while, as long as he thought of the possibility that he would be seen by him, Luo Jian started to feel uncomfortable.

Also, Luo Jian had always felt strange here. He always felt that all around and at all times in this space station, every corner was packed with something to survey them, as if there was surveillance present, causing him to deeply realize that he and his team members were under some kind of monitoring.

Someone’s monitoring us? No, or, perhaps someone was purely monitoring me?

Luo Jian sighed wearily. With the support of his tang sword, he stood up. His rising movement made him aware of something strange. He reached out and touched his back. Lowering his head, he found that his hands were red with blood.

“Tsk, I was careless.”

Luo Jian then started to rummage in his carry-on secret chamber, found some medicine, and gave himself a jab casually. Although his recovery ability was very strong, he was still injured, and he couldn’t possibly ignore it and let his vitality slip away. And in this alarmingly dangerous secret chamber, it was not as if he could revive himself to his best-conditioned self just like in the Crimson Asura Realm. Luo Jian knew that he must restrain himself.

He was too used to the way of fighting in the Asura Realm and did not know how to save his energy. He hoped that in the future, when he was battling, he could adapt as soon as possible, otherwise it would be terrible for him sooner or later.

Subsequently, Luo Jian left the spot where he was presently located and began to track down Xing Yan.

He had left a mark on Xing Yan’s body. That mark was left when they were in a deep kiss previously. With the mark, Luo Jian was fearless and knew that even if the other party ran to the ends of the world, he would be able to follow after him. This feeling made Luo Jian feel a little complacent.

En, but it was a little strange?

Luo Jian just started tracking, but he suddenly felt that his mark on Xing Yan seemed to have a slight change. Although he could clearly trace the destination of Xing Yan now, he also felt that something horrifying had happened to Xing Yan.

Just after Luo Jian sensed the strange change in Xing Yan’s body, something horrible happened one after another, and the note that Luo Jian kept it in his pocket all this time…… The printed note with purple patterns, which was unique to the secret chamber, ignited itself, a zzzz sound rang out, and smoke started bellowing from his pockets.

Aware of this, Luo Jian immediately reached out of his pocket and took out the note. He found that the printed note given by the secret chamber had started to burn, and the flames were jumping around the soft paper surface. And soon, the paper was burned to ashes.

Impossible! It’s impossible!

This pile of ashes in the palm of his hand made his heart almost jump up to his throat. The secret chamber’s note was a symbol of the power of the chamber and a symbol of its authority. As long as the note still existed, it meant that the space in the chamber was still under the control of the secret chamber’s will. However, if it burned up, turned into a pile of ashes, and disappeared in Luo Jian’s hands, he certainly knew what it meant.

The system was offline!

System error? Program disconnected? Program not responding? Would the secret chamber’s will withdraw from this battle? One could casually think about it but in short, Luo Jian understood that the huge space station was no longer under the control of the secret chamber’s will, that was to say, the secret chamber…….

Luo Jian’s face was pale, and he muttered to himself, “It’s really become a true secret chamber.”

The secret chamber without the control of the secret chamber’s will would be like an island in the sea. When the secret chamber’s will was still there, the chamber would use its powerful power to build a very, very long bridge to this island. This bridge was at the exit of the secret chamber space. After the player completed the task, he could return to reality from the bridge.

But now that the secret chamber’s will had disappeared, the system was offline and the bridge was gone.

The secret chamber that had lost control of its will became a real secret chamber. During this period, nothing in the secret chambers would be protected or buffed! For example, the most typical items or props that were originally set as ‘not to be destroyed’ could now be destroyed; the NPCs, who were originally controlled by the secret chamber’s will, would turn on their coats at anytime; the most crucial and most terrifying point was that—

The props and weapons provided by the secret chamber’s will for all players were all under the blessing of the secret chamber’s will. Now that this blessing had disappeared, it meant that all players in the space station had become ordinary people now!

Of course, this ‘ordinary person’ was not truly very ordinary. They were still much stronger than ordinary people in reality. However, in this dangerous space station, even a strong man was not much different from ordinary people.

As a result, after magic skills and weapons had been greatly weakened, these skills that could still be used now would become useless. Now, players in the secret chambers would possess their lowest strength ever.

However, this was also their original standards of their abilities, just like the basic ability value after removing all equipment and status bonus.

It was like fighting a boss in an instance with bare hands and without weapons.

Especially when the boss was difficult to deal with.

“F*ck! F*ck!” Luo Jian could not help but curse twice. He tried to start his own carry-on secret chamber again. Sure enough, even the carry-on secret chamber could not be opened. The secret chamber’s will had thoroughly gone offline from this battlefield, and Luo Jian didn’t know how long it would take before it could go online.

During this period when the secret chamber’s will couldn’t start up, the death rate of everyone in their teams would rise to an unimaginable high. They would find that some of their skills that could be used were unavailable now, and their weapons would be more sluggish than usual.

The process of discovering this fact would make players feel that they couldn’t adapt for a while. They were like a child that instantly grew to an adult. They could have done more damage, but now they couldn’t even lift something heavy.

This sudden process, to a large extent, would make players exhausted and even make them accidentally die in the battlefield.

Even if Noen was here, he had to find his companions quickly!

Luo Jian was in a hurry and did not want to linger. He stepped forward, following his senses. He waved the tang sword in his hand casually. But after taking a few steps, Luo Jian found another problem.

Although the aura blessing buff bestowed by the secret chamber had disappeared, Luo Jian felt that his strength had not been weakened much. And he did not feel much that the strength in his body had weakened.

Later, Luo Jian tried to change his weapons into different states and found that his weapons did not change much. It was as if the secret chamber had never bestowed the aura blessing buff on his weapons.

Oh right, the Crimson Asura Realm! The secret chamber created by Ying and his team was not under the control of the secret chamber’s will. There was no power and blessing by the secret chamber’s will except that the players there could be quickly revived in their best states and back to how they previously looked. Without the secret chamber’s enhancements of their strength and buffs, all the players in there were evoking their true strength normally!

With this in mind, Luo Jian felt he could not help noticing something he had been neglecting.

Could it be said that since he entered the Asura Realm, he had been fighting with his true level? He did not get any buffs or strength enhancement by the secret chamber. He could only use……

His own body.

“In this case, if the group of people in the Asura Realm could come out…… wouldn’t they be extremely strong?”

Luo Jian touched his chin and thought for a little while, but he was too lazy to think too much. His strength was not weakened. He could hardly be better. After that, he morphed his weapon into Xing Yan’s spatial blade. Although it was not known what made him feel dissatisfied with this knife, it was an issue of life or death now and it would be fine if he used it occasionally.

Because he was privately concerned for Xing Yan, Luo Jian decided to first flash to Xing Yan’s side.

Then he quickly changed the weapon form, and his entire person disappeared on the narrow place where he took a pit stop, but when he appeared in the next second, what Luo Jian saw really scared him.

It was freezing.

This was the nest of insects, the queen’s personal spawning room. It was densely packed with insect eggs that appeared like mountain peaks. There were also piles of densely packed insects stacked on the eggs. There was a huge queen insect in the distance. For sure, this was where Xing Yan was located. Yes, but…… every living creature here, no matter whether they were worms, eggs, or even the huge queen, was covered with a thick layer of ice.

Soon, Luo Jian found Xing Yan, who was frozen. His whole person was sealed in the ice. He was still kept in a posture showing that he was ready to attack with his knife. There were dense swarms of insects around him, and they all kept their attacking postures. He was surrounded and helpless. However, the expression on his face did not show a trace of fear. This man had always shown that he was competent and so much stronger than others.

Luo Jian did not know, so he could not understand why Xing Yan directly ran to the insect nest and was completely frozen with the insects and the queen. However, this ice caused a bad premonition to surface within Luo Jian.

“Icebound, frozen.”

Luo Jian spoke to himself and went forward to touch Xing Yan. The ice outside caused him to be unable to directly touch his skin. Then Luo Jian carefully raised the knife in his hand and slowly chiseled away the ice.

This ice shouldn’t have been so tough, but Luo Jian’s knife couldn’t leave any trace on it. It was as if these ice blocks had been given an ‘not to be destroyed’ attribute by the secret chamber. However, the problem was that the secret chamber’s will was now clearly offline.

Xing Yan remained standing in that posture as if his time froze at that moment, keeping his life and soul in that eternal moment.

Luo Jian stared at Xing Yan in a daze for a few moments. At this point in time, he had yet to think of any methods to get Xing Yan out of these thick ice. He merely stared at him, obsessed, and indulged in a kind of emotion that was hard to extricate himself from, that was, fear and panic.

“Their time has stopped.” At this moment, footsteps sounded behind Luo Jian, and a familiar voice rang out. Luo Jian paused for a moment and turned back. The alien Noen came out of nowhere and stood behind him.

“Why are you here?” Luo Jian looked at Noen, and suddenly his face was a little cold. “What about the others?”

“Everything’s fine. Although there are still a lot of insects here, it seems that most of them are frozen because of the ice. The rest seem to have shrunk back because they did not receive commands from the queen…… We went smoothly straight down to the lowest floor without obstructions.”

Noen raised his hand, poked a few times on his armor, and added, “I connected to the space station system and found you here, so here I am.”

Luo Jian did not reply for quite some time. He looked up and down at the alien in front of him. Noen wrapped himself in solid armor. His distinct body structure combined with the way he acted was just like a Polarisian, showing that he was hundred percent an alien.

So Luo Jian tilted his head slightly, and with his head to one side, he glanced at Noen. He asked, “Who are you?”
