"Rock Peak? It really is connected to Kastantos."
Veronia surveyed the surroundings with an indescribable expression, and Фэн Юань looked at her in amazement and asked,
"Is this Rock Peak?"
"It’s not exactly Rock Peak; rather, this place has the characteristics of Rock Peak. What’s strange is that the power here comes from Rock Peak, yet it feels incomplete, as if something is missing."
Thinking for a moment, Veronia said with a headache, this place felt peculiar to her. While it seemed related to Kastantos, it was not quite right—at least the power felt like it lacked something crucial.
"What exactly is Rock Peak? We don’t know much about Kastantos, at least I’ve never heard any information about Rock Peak."
Dou Yanlan looked at Фэн Юань in confusion. She truly couldn’t grasp what they were discussing; it seemed from Veronia’s demeanor that Rock Peak was indeed a very special place.
"Um, well, Rock Peak is related to Kastantos’ Sacred Peak, um, I’m not too sure about the specifics, but it should be part of the Sacred Peak, right?"
Thinking again, Фэн Юань replied uncertainly. He knew that the Sacred Peak is a Holy Land belonging to Kastantos, but he was not so knowledgeable about the other aspects.
"Rock Peak is part of a special energy structure of Kastantos, if compared to human facilities, it’s somewhat similar to a power station. The power enveloping this site should be provided by Rock Peak, but strangely, this power seems to be missing something."
In her human form, Veronia held her chin with one hand and said, puzzled. Ци Чэнь hesitated for a moment and asked,
"Could it be so altered that even Veronia can’t recognize it, could it be a dangerous facility?"
"Probably not; at least I don’t feel danger, but that thing is certainly not simple. A fragment of Rock Peak? Can this thing still function properly? I’m more familiar with Kastantos because they are enemies, this place indeed feels somewhat off."
With her brows slightly furrowed, Veronia said uncertainly. She wasn’t sure if someone had restored Kastantos’ Rock Peak, but could anyone really achieve the restoration of that thing? Knowing that it was the technology of one of the top strong nations in the Mythical Era.
"These matters might need to be addressed later. For now, the problem is whether this place is truly safe."
The archaeologist who had been investigating the surroundings couldn’t help but speak out. Although she was also curious about this ultra-древний civilization’s secrets, she had not forgotten the purpose of this mission, which was to prioritize clearing out this Royal treasure site of the Golden Feather Dynasty.
However, now discovering that this place mixes ultra-древний civilization’s technology makes her uneasy. Although she has a desire and interest in exploring the truth of the world, she absolutely does not want archaeological research to cause tremendous harm to the surrounding common people.
Фэн Юань looked at the archaeologist in surprise, nodded, and said,
"So far, there seems to be no issue, and the power is just maintaining a special space. Although we don’t know what exactly they want to do, it can be confirmed that it shouldn’t affect us too much. Of course, if there’s a self-destruct mechanism, that’s another matter."
Even Фэн Юань could not guarantee that this Royal treasure site didn’t have any dangerous design where displeasure leads to its total self-destruction along with the entire ruins.
"These things probably need to be studied to confirm; at least on this route, we haven’t seen any dangerous items. Additionally, this place is somewhat special; it doesn’t seem like just a simple vault at first glance."
After thinking, Фэн Юань still provided an uncertain answer. Along the way, the corridor they passed had only simple decorations, but the decorative patterns were clearly designed meticulously. Фэн Юань believed that given time, they should also discern something from those details.
However, their focus was primarily on the potential threats of this ruin, not noticing the distinctions between the decor of this place and a regular treasure vault.
"This place... doesn’t look like a treasure vault?"
The scholar suddenly realized something, reflecting carefully, that it looked more like a palace of the Golden Feather Dynasty than a vault. But if it truly is the case, why is this ruin set so secretively?
"Hadn’t it been speculated before? This place is probably an underground city. With Kastantos’ power, this city inherently holds special advantages. However, they likely didn’t truly grasp that power; otherwise, these ruins wouldn’t appear like this."
Upon hearing Фэн Юань’s explanation, not only the archaeologist but Dou Yanlan also seemed to understand something. This ruin is probably not just Royal treasure; no, one might say the ruins itself are a treasure.
"If that’s really the case, we can be at least a little relieved. Unfortunately, these things cannot be concluded so hastily; more evidence is necessary for us to make such judgments. However, the issue of the communication interruption..."
"I can’t help with that; the communication breakdown is likely due to us being in a special space related to the use of special spatial expansion technology. At least it allows you not to realize you’re actually inside a Different Пространство."
Фэн Юань said while looking at Veronia, who was contemplating something. Noticing Фэн Юань looking at her, she nodded and said,
"Rock Peak, as far as I know, is a very special space. At least, normal spatial collapse and similar ultimate moves can’t easily destroy Rock Peak. This place may not be as strong, but blocking other Domain influences should be no problem."
"So, even though this area utilizes special spatial expansion technology, there’s no danger of spatial collapse?"
The archaeologist asked Veronia with curiosity, knowing that maintaining the destroyed Different Пространство within древний ruins is their biggest headache, to the point where they even brought the rare Пространство-attribute Духовный зверь to prevent accidents of spatial collapse in this mission.
Since those Different Пространствоs, having endured such lengthy times, could collapse due to any accident at any moment. To prevent such situations, they always bring Пространство-attribute Духовные звери on archaeological missions, yet she didn’t expect this ruin to be so unusual.
"Possibly, since the power is incomplete, as long as you don’t use space-destroying ultimate moves, it should be fine. But, why does this multilayered nested space have a bit of Starlotte’s feel?
I think it might be necessary to call Little Crocodile, this place seems connected to Starlotte as well."
"Why bring this back to Starlotte? The Golden Feather Dynasty and Salonto weren’t from the same period, right?"
Rubbing his temples, Фэн Юань felt a bit of a headache. Why did this ruin seem increasingly complicated?
"Salonto? Chronologically, they should come after the Golden Feather Dynasty. However, if the Golden Feather Dynasty’s royalty acted as a guide for Salonto, perhaps it’s possible."
The archaeologist said after thinking briefly. While not familiar with Starlotte, Kastantos, or those ultra-древний civilization matters, based on Фэн Юань and Veronia’s findings, what’s happening here certainly resembles Salonto’s method of collecting and excavating ultra-древний civilizations.
Not every Dynasty had the opportunity to discover these ultra-древний ruins steadily. Especially during the Dynasty Era, all Dynasties and families would choose secrecy about the древний civilization information they held.
This made it exceedingly difficult for others to excavate these dangerous древний civilization ruins.
Even in modern times, despite broad communication, sharing experiences of древний ruins is exchanged, and most devices within civilizations have been deciphered, dangers are still faced during excavations of these древний remains, let alone during the Dynasty Era with families having no clear direction.
This resulted in very few Dynasties specializing in excavating древний civilizations, more so concerning ultra-древний civilizations; these were genuinely extreme dangers.
"Ahead seems to be a complex of buildings, where answers to the truth might reside; surely they left some murals or something."
Glancing at the map and ahead, Фэн Юань chuckled and said, while everyone quickened their pace, eager to uncover what was truly happening in this ruin.
