Chapter 967 Taking the Sun From the Ancient River of Sacrificial Yin (3)
“Let’s not talk about that for now. There’s a big guy at the bottom of the river. Let’s take a break and then give it our all to get it out.”
“Let me tell you, Little Qing, this last one isn’t simple at all!”
“This is the first man-made sun in the Moon Worship Region. There were even rumors that it was an ancient item from a ruler’s era.”
When the captain introduced in a low voice, Li Youfei, who was sitting beside Wu Jianwu in the distance, was incomparably shocked.
As a person from the Moon Worship Region, he naturally knew about the artificial suns. At this moment, when he saw it being fished out with his own eyes, he was dumbstruck.
“Is Master’s friend that terrifying?!”
Before Li Youfei could digest the shock, the captain stood up and spoke loudly.
“Time to work, time to work.”
“Once we get the last big one out, we’ll be done!”
As he spoke, the captain walked to Ning Yan’s side.
Ning Yan looked pleadingly at the captain. The captain patted his shoulder.
“Big Ningning, this is the last time, I promise, and the things I promised you, I will definitely get them for you. I’ll make sure your bloodline strength will surpass your dad’s!”
Ning Yan was surprised.
The captain smiled faintly and didn’t say much. He took Ning Yan’s vine and headed straight for the river.
When Xu Qing saw this scene, he was a little worried. He also walked over and arrived beside the captain.
Noticing Xu Qing’s arrival, the captain laughed and warmth rose in his heart.
“Junior Brother, you’re still the best. You know how to feel heartache for Eldest Senior Brother. Previously, Ningning and Jianjian watched me jump into the river and none of them followed me. Alright, we brothers will do it together!”
After the captain finished speaking, he rushed forward and stepped into the river. Xu Qing also stepped in behind him. The two of them instantly entered the river and spread out their cultivation levels. While resisting the power of the river, they rushed toward the bottom of the river.
The captain’s method of resisting was the blue light all over his body. Xu Qing’s method was simpler. The Purple Moon’s power spread out slightly and instantly neutralized everything. Just like that, the two of them moved at full speed at the bottom of the river.
The bottom of the river was dark and the blood-red river water was incomparably dense here. There were also countless skeletons floating in the water.
Xu Qing saw a rotting skeleton of a woman drift past him. Its eyelids seemed to open for a moment.
Xu Qing didn’t care about this and continued forward.
Vaguely, there seemed to be some terrifying existences in the river that appeared in the surroundings. However, regardless of whether it was the blue light on the captain’s body or Xu Qing’s Purple Moon authority, they both formed a deterrence, causing those existences to not attack them.
Just like that, time slowly passed. Under the captain’s ability, Ning Yan’s vine was extended infinitely. They pulled on the vine, getting closer to the depths of the river.
After an unknown period of time, a gigantic sphere, partially submerged in the mud, with a size of tens of thousands of feet, came into view.
This massive object was broken and riddled with countless holes, as if it had been through a great battle.
A sense of age and antiquity permeated this iron sphere, evident in the mottled rust that covered it.
The passage of time on its body caused everyone who saw it to involuntarily feel a sense of decay.
This was the first artificial sun from the ruler’s era in the Moon Worship Region.
“We’re here!” The captain’s eyes revealed a strange glint as he gestured to Xu Qing, asking him to help him pay attention to his surroundings. After that, he grabbed the vine and moved closer to the iron ball.
Xu Qing nodded and watched from the side.
However, at this moment, they were unaware that within the rusted and damaged interior of the sphere, there was a figure sitting cross-legged!
This figure was emaciated, with a withered face, wearing tattered brown robes. The exposed skin showed raised, mountain range-like meridians.
He had long, gray hair, scattered around him like wandering spirits within the iron sphere.
The moment the captain and Xu Qing got close to the sphere, the figure’s closed eyes slowly opened. A hint of blue light appeared within, emitting a soul-stirring power.
It was the ruler’s heir!
He gazed into the distance, his expression becoming somewhat peculiar.
