Only My Way

It was a huge, armored squid, or rather, a hard-shelled squid.

It stood there like a stone statue.

Its spindle-shaped head had three narrow eyes.

Looking at it, its upper body was upright, like a shuttle-shaped space rocket standing tall.

However, its lower body, with more than ten slender tentacles covered in barbs and suckers, spiraled downwards, tightly intertwined around an exquisite stone seat.

Facing this strange statue,

Even though Ling Wuyuan and the others couldn't discern any facial expressions,

They could still sense, through its posture and gaze, that it was like a guard solemnly protecting something.

Could the armor on its body be its external armor?

Ling Wuyuan and the others weren't entirely sure about this.

Besides that,

The most striking thing about it was the numerous patterns or distorted characters on its body surface, whether it was skin or armor.

Although they couldn't figure out what those patterns or distorted characters meant,

After a period of research,

Ling Wuyuan and Bai Jing Shu could determine that those things had a specific pattern.

Therefore,

They must represent a clear meaning, definitely not some random scribbles...

Watching Ling Wuyuan and Bai Jing Shu seriously studying the distorted patterns on the statue to see what use and meaning they had,

Wu Yanlian couldn't help but turn to her senior sister and ask:

"So... is that thing very valuable?"

"More valuable than other resources?"

"Otherwise, why not hunt more instead of spending time researching?"

After glaring at her,

Xi Xianlan could only helplessly complain:

"How would I know?"

"Let them study if they want to."

"It's not like we have anything else to do anyway."

At the same moment,

As the subject of their discussion,

Ling Wuyuan and Bai Jing Shu were seriously studying what function the statue in front of them had and how to activate it.

In this regard,

Ling Wuyuan and Bai Jing Shu were both convinced that this thing must contain some special function, definitely not just a mere decoration.

The reason?

Very simple!

The dragon beast, whose appearance was similar to a Flood Dragon, was already close to the [Spirit Accumulation Realm] in terms of strength!

Therefore, being able to stubbornly exist in its stomach for a long time without being damaged was definitely not a simple matter.

At the very least,

Various conventional metals could never do that.

Even artifacts with corresponding runes for blessing could only be achieved by precious treasures of very high grade.

Like the rune equipment on Ling Wuyuan's body.

Although they also had a large number of runes for defense and blessing, they could never resist that kind of intense stomach acid for a long time.

That was something that, with just a small drop, could instantly dissolve layers of rock.

It was far more terrifying than so-called aqua regia and magma, even diamonds would be instantly dissolved into residue!!

Many times, it was even used as a raw material for refining weapons, specifically used to dissolve various particularly difficult-to-handle hard objects.

Therefore, Ling Wuyuan and Bai Jing Shu were both very sure that the pillar-shaped statue in front of them must have some special function or secret.

Otherwise,

It would never be so intact!

It's just that.

Believing is believing.

For a moment,

Faced with this completely unfamiliar thing that they couldn't understand no matter how they looked at it, the two of them still felt like a rat pulling a turtle, unable to find a starting point, completely unable to find the key to the problem.

"True Qi is useless."

"Spirit stones are also useless."

"How do you think this thing should be activated?"

Before,

The two had already tried to infuse True Qi into the pillar-shaped statue and tentatively infuse the spiritual energy contained in the spirit stones into it.

Trying to activate it in this way.

But both attempts ended in failure.

Even the power of the mind was completely useless.

That was a feeling like a clay ox entering the sea.

After probing their minds into it, the two could only feel a void, just like ordinary people facing an environment where they couldn't see their fingers.

Now, facing Bai Jing Shu's inquiry, Ling Wuyuan was also a little troubled.

However,

He was, after all, more resourceful.

After thinking for a while,

A strange idea slowly emerged in his mind:

'What if this thing is more green and environmentally friendly and belongs to new energy products?'

What is new energy?

Answer: Light and electricity.

So he simply adopted the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living one and replied:

"Maybe we can try solar energy and electrical energy?"

Hearing this,

Bai Jing Shu, who had just asked casually and didn't expect Ling Wuyuan to come up with an idea immediately, couldn't help but be slightly stunned:

"Electrical energy?"

"Do you mean lightning?"

"As for solar energy?"

"What is that thing?"

Due to the different directions of civilization development,

Although she knew that lightning could be used as energy for certain items or formations, she was extremely unfamiliar with solar energy.

Ling Wuyuan, feeling that explaining things would be a bit troublesome, chose to answer briefly:

"Electrical energy is indeed lightning."

"As for solar energy... if it really doesn't work, you can understand it as highly aggregated sunlight!"

"I'll try using lightning first..."

After saying that,

Without waiting for her to respond,

Ling Wuyuan directly converted the True Qi in his body into Wind Attribute True Qi through his ability to convert the nature of True Qi freely.

Then, through the characteristics of Wind Attribute True Qi being able to affect the surrounding airflow and temperature, he promoted the changes he needed in the surrounding environment...

Before long,

Under his influence, thick dark clouds began to accumulate in layers above the sky.

The muffled thunder, which was extremely dull, was also echoing intensely above the four's heads.

That was a muffled thunder that would explode thousands of times in the air every second.

The commotion was so great!

Enough to shatter the eardrums of ordinary people!!

The dark gray gale even caused the trees within a hundred miles to rustle, and while blowing away countless leaves and weeds, it also caused countless animals to flee back to their caves in panic.

However, looking at the super lightning bolts deep in the dark clouds above their heads, which numbered in the thousands and were constantly scurrying inside the dark clouds like thunder dragons,

Bai Jing Shu, Wu Yanlian, and Xi Xianlan were a little confused about the situation.

"Are you sure you don't want to destroy that thing?"

"So much thunder, even a mountain could be leveled, right?"

"Small problem!"

"I'll control the output well~"

"If solar energy and electrical energy don't work, we can also try geothermal, tidal energy, biomass energy, cosmic radiation... I don't believe we can't figure it out."
