Mystical Journey Chapter 953 - Accumulation 1

“What is that thing!?” f.a.n.n.y kept wiping off the blood flowing out from his face — it was very sticky. He didn’t feel any pain and experience but only numbness as if her face was injected with a dose of anesthetic.

The three of them walked back through the path they came from. Since they had lost two giant wolves, they had no choice but to head back slowly.

“I don’t know.” Garen shook his head. “Do you guys believe in the soul?” He questioned back.

f.a.n.n.y frowned as he pondered.

“Lord Garen, are you trying to say that thing is a soul?”

“Not just any soul. That was an acc.u.mulation of polluted negative energy. You can view it as a polluted spiritual field.” Garen used the world’s system as an a.n.a.logy to explain.

“That thing is a cl.u.s.ter of different content and isn’t something that can be handled with an average way.”

“What did you guys encounter?” East Perrin was curious as she listened from the sideline. She was stunned too when she saw that f.a.n.n.y’s face was covered with blood.

“Something extremely strange. I will tell you everything once we get back.” f.a.n.n.y shook his head and he didn’t want to go back in there for the rest of her life.

“Now that we have everything, we need to go back as soon as possible. We may not outrun those Predators if we were to encounter them,” Garen said casually. From the soul that he had encountered in the Ancient Ruins, he understood that even though this world was very technologically advanced, it would still be connected to the realm of soul once it had reached its limits. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain the phenomenon inside the ancient ruins.

However, from the encounter, he could sense that the Seventh Ancient Ruins contained something strange that no one knew about. This strange being was able to involve itself in the realm of the soul as it was able to activate the consciousness of the Nine Headed Dragon. If the strongest man in this world had its way around the soul, he would have to be extremely careful in the future, and not rely heavily on the idea of him being able to reincarnate again and again without fear. If he were to encounter a powerhouse who had knowledge in souls, he would be in danger as he would be defenseless while reincarnating. If that were the case, he might have permanently lost his life.

“Okay let’s quicken our pace and head back home.” Garen increased his pace as he led the way.

The other two followed along behind. Frankly speaking, East Perrin felt a sense of security ever since Garen became a leader. She, who had never relied on someone felt very much at ease.

She let out a sigh of relief upon realizing that she was no longer the leader who had to independently lead Leo City.

“Perhaps it’s better to rely on someone sometimes,” East Perrin blushed as she looked at Garen’s back.

The trio then quickly journeyed their way back home.

Suddenly, Garen stopped moving and he looked far into the horizon. There was a line of black dots at the other end of the field.

“They’re human. Unsure which team it is,” He said softly.

“Do you want to get in contact with them?” East Perrin lowered down her voice.

Garen pondered for a moment and eventually shook his head.

“In this current chaotic situation, we wouldn’t know what their intention is, right? Whatever, it’s fine. We are relatively safe even on our own. At the moment, everyone can be considered as the enemy since we’re all in the same situation.”

“Indeed. The radiation belt has always been chaotic. There are radiation people who eat their own kind to survive in this harsh environment,” f.a.n.n.y agreed, “it seems like they’re here for the ancient ruins as well. With their team of this scale, they’re definitely stronger than us.”

“True. If you don’t have the strength, you don’t have the qualification to speak up or make demands,” East Perrin nodded in agreement as well.

“Let’s go.” Garen turned around and left as the other two followed along.

He didn’t realize that the Nameless Forbidden Willpower inside him was pulsating slightly as Red Moon’s Willpower was trying to contact him. However, the pulsation was undetectable under the restriction of the Inherited Level of the Seventh Wind General.

The team of three people and a wolf walked further. Soon, they disappeared from the horizon of the field.

About a kilometer away from them, Clint put away his binoculars as he stood on the field.

“Looks like a team of three people and a wolf. What a strange combination.”

“What’s so strange about it? You can encounter all sorts of strange combinations in this field,” Red Moon said boringly. He seemed to have sensed the slight pulse of his Willpower. However, it was too weak to the point that he thought he had mistaken it for something else.

“Let’s go and look for that thing we want,” Baylon urged, “it will get dark if we don’t hurry up.”

“Alright. The Seventh Ancient Ruin is just up ahead. The sky is turning dark so everyone, hurry up!” Clint shouted as he waved his hand.

“Oh!”

The team behind him started cheering. They were all convinced that he was a good leader despite his young age. It wasn’t just his sincerity, but every time there was a dangerous situation, he would be the first one to fight back with his overwhelming strength.

It’s practically impossible to find a person with such personality in the radiation belt.

Clint and Baylon lead the team as they headed towards the Seventh Ancient Ruins.

The invisible world’s force field surrounding the two of them, which Garen called it the Force of Cause and Effect, was becoming more and more concentrated.

As they closed their distance, the evil force inside the Seventh Ancient Ruins became stronger. If someone could see this energy, then they would see a dark cloud engulfing the entire Seventh Ancient Ruins, reaching its hand out towards Clint and his people.

No one knew that they were heading towards the death’s doorstep on this journey. That place was also where Clint and Baylon would be facing death!

If Garen could a.n.a.lyze the information on the Force of Cause and Effect on himself, he would know that the Seventh Ancient Ruins would be one of the places where Clint and his team were fated to die. He was just merely testing the water for the future main character.

High risk came with a high reward; this was the never changing truth. If he was able to successfully escape from death, then the reward and growth he would obtain from this place would be tremendous.

The Force of Cause and Effect had far surpa.s.sed Garen’s expectation in this world as it was hinted that it had the power to control fate itself. Compared to the world Garen had lived in, it was much stronger than the rest.

*****************

As they returned back to the black stone mountains, Garen immediately started to work on finis.h.i.+ng the Production Thread. As a mechanical expert, East Perrin helped out as well while the others helped out in improving the lifestyle and setting up all kinds of safety features.

Malone’s experiment in farming the edible small fishes was showing some results. However, due to the high intensity radiation on the mountain, he started coughing recently. If he wasn’t careful, he would contract a flu.

However, everyone was experiencing the same thing. Although the top of the mountain was very safe, the radiation was too intense, causing everyone’s physique to drop.

As time pa.s.sed, Garen started working under Mincar in the Special Ability s.p.a.ce while he kept fixing the chip’s Production Thread. However, a new problem surfaced. In order to produce the chip, he needed a laptop, which could be replaced with the old quantum computer model on the Flying s.h.i.+p. However, the chip also required Gui Mineral, aluminum, and copper. Since he didn’t have the blueprint of the chip, it was impossible for Garen to design the control chip’s circuit on his own as he wasn’t an expert in this.

Fortunately, old man Mincar knew where to obtain the rare earth mineral, Gui Mineral. The aluminum and copper could be obtained by processing the materials used by the Flying s.h.i.+p. Unfortunately, it would be slightly troublesome to obtain them as they did not have any instrument in extracting these materials. Hence, they were not able to obtain those of good quality.

“I’ve heard of a chip that was completely built on organic materials instead of metals. It uses bioelectricity to process the computation. Moreover, the miniature computer to create the chip is smaller than a hair’s width.” After understanding Garen’s obstacle, he came up with a good idea.

“Living Chip?” Garen reacted immediately, “Has someone created such an item before?”

“Of course. We don’t need to fully create a Living Chip. What I mean is that since they are able to create a chip based on different parts of a living being, isn’t it the same if we use the organic material to replace the metal resources that we lack?” Mincar smiled.

Garen was stunned. He then nodded after pondering for some time.

“Hmm. It’s worth a try.”

His Energy Machine Imprint was the best high-performance computer and the organic materials were abundant natural resources as well. A living being was just nature’s way to store all of the organic materials in one place.

He was able to manufacture the core of the chip with the Production Thread. After throwing it into the Biochemical Pool and improvising it with the Energy Machine Imprint, he was able to combine everything together with organic materials of different properties.

After experimenting for three days, Garen had finally invented a semi-biological chip.

*************

“Now that the chip has been resolved, the next step is to combining everything to create the Core Terminal!” Garen was very happy. If he could finish building the core, he would solve the problem of controlling the giant wolves in certain amounts.

He came out from the bas.e.m.e.nt with a messy hair only to see East Perrin and the others were not around. The second floor was eerily quiet; not a noise could be heard.

“East Perrin!” He frowned as he shouted.

There was no response.

Slam.

Suddenly, a gentle knock was heard from the room at the far end.

Garen had been in the bas.e.m.e.nt for two days straight and had no clue to what had happened outside.

He immediately rushed to that room. He tried to open it but it seemed to be locked from the inside.

He pointed at the keyhole with his finger as a blue line shot out, melting it into a circular hole.

Click, the metal door was opened.

However, something seemed to be preventing the door from opening.

Garen used some force to push open the door.

Boom.

A hot naked woman’s body was pushed away from the door.

It was East Perrin. She seemed to be in the middle of a shower and even had a bowl of water in the middle of the room. There even was white foams on her body covering her breast and private part.

“Uhh… Uhh…” East Perrin’s face turned pale and didn’t know how to react.
