My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 167 - 124: There Are Giant Dragons Here? Emperor-level Giant Dragon?

Chapter 167: Chapter 124: There Are Giant Dragons Here? Emperor-level Giant Dragon?

This ancient city is a treasure trove brimming with countless precious resources for the Treasure Pavilion.

For Lu Xun, it signifies endless Dutch opportunities.

Once the base was established, hundreds of exploration team members divided into groups, spreading in all directions to explore.

Besides Lu Xun, a master skilled in Magic Text, there are more than twenty archaeologists in the team.

With such a small number of people, hoping to explore an ancient city ruin within a few days seems like a fool’s dream.

However, with today’s advanced technology, 96% of the archaeological work does not require human intervention.

Various high-tech identification tools are enough to solve most problems.

Only the remaining 4% of issues, where machines fail, require the expertise of archaeology masters to resolve.

In the team, the Treasure Pavilion hired a dozen or so neural network engineers and surveying instrument operators.

They have implanted integrated artificial eyes that resemble VR glasses, with brain chips connected to various machines.

There are drones, robots, mechanical spiders, transport vehicles, and more.

One operator can control hundreds of devices of various sizes simultaneously, conducting relic explorations, capturing countless images, and scanning infinite artifact information with their mind.

The ruins are unlike the danger-laden Rift World.

There is hardly any danger here.

A few dozen people could fully explore the ancient city within a few days.

"Report to the team leader, I’ve discovered another uncertain artifact that the database cannot verify or identify." —Ding Xuezhu received a report from a team member.

She immediately replied, "Send me the coordinates, and I’ll dispatch the experts."

"Okay."

The coordinates were promptly received.

Lu Xun set out, riding an anti-gravity floating vehicle, quickly arriving at the destination.

Several tall loading robots rolled on their tracks, disembarking along with him.

Ahead was a collapsed ancient hall, dilapidated beyond recognition.

Creek, creek~

A fist-sized mechanical spider crawled out from the rubble, its eight legs moving swiftly.

It seems to be this little guy that discovered the unknown artifact.

"Master Lu, please step back a bit; I’ll clear the obstacles for you," said a robot to his left, speaking politely.

"Hmm."

Lu Xun took a few steps back.

Two mighty robots stepped forward, quickly moving the heavy stones aside with a few thuds, creating a pathway.

"Please go ahead, Master Lu."

"Alright."

Entering the ruins, Lu Xun saw a giant statue, three meters high, within the ancient hall.

He showed a look of astonishment.

Because the statue was perfectly preserved, enduring thousands of years five kilometers underwater without any damage, demonstrating its extraordinary material.

The statue was pitch black, as if made of natural black jade.

It had a very ferocious humanoid shape, with twenty-four wings sprouting from its back, twelve on each side, each feather carved distinctly and lifelike.

On its head were six thick demon horns, and a slender cow-like demon tail extended from its back.

With an androgynous face, its features were handsome and eerily attractive, making it hard to discern its gender.

Most peculiarly, its body contained both male and female physical characteristics, two reproductive systems.

Hermaphroditic, complete in yin and yang.

It was worshipped in this ancient hall 27,000 years ago and yet stands firm to this day.

Throughout the long years and harsh environments, not a single blemished mark was left.

It’s truly unbelievable.

"A Demon Race sculpture? No, it’s not an ordinary Demon Race."

Lu Xun mumbled quietly, his eyes glowing as he hurriedly stepped forward, touching the giant peculiar statue with his right hand.

’Analysis!’

[Analyzing...5%...10%...15%...]

[...Analysis complete!]

[Trait Points +79,000.]

[Recorded: Non-Biological Illustrated Guide x1]

[Illustrated Guide: Demon Ancestor - Divine Statue, Completeness 100%, Material: Demon Nether Jade, Existence Duration...Material Composition...Component Proportions...]

’Hiss~’

Lu Xun quietly drew a breath of cold air.

A mere statue, nearly 80,000 Trait Points.

His gaze became solemn as he looked at the statue once more.

So this is the Demon Ancestor, the progenitor of all Demon Race, a god-like existence.

Many Otherworld races have progenitors as well.

Just like in Lu Xun’s previous life’s country, people referred to themselves as Descendants of Yan and Huang.

The Blood Race has a Blood Ancestor, the Orge Race has a Ghost Ancestor, the Demon Race has a Demon Ancestor, the Beastmen worship the Beast God, the Dragon Race’s progenitor is called the Ancestral Dragon or Dragon God...

These progenitors of Other Races are certainly more than Mythical Level; they should be stronger, of a higher level.

Because during the five Celestial Convergences, many Mythical Level beings slaughtered by the Human Federation were no few.

I haven’t heard of any race’s ancestor being slaughtered.

According to the tales of the Other Races, their ancestors are omnipotent true gods, but they reside high up in the Divine Kingdom, disdaining to descend to the Mortal Realm.

... But Lu Xun didn’t really believe it.

What is a god?

In his view, it’s just a Life Form with a Life Level much higher than his own.

Not that mysterious.

It’s been thirty thousand years, and not a single "miracle" has appeared on Blue Star; even if there was one, it probably died a long time ago.

"Illustrated Guide: Demon Ancestor - Divine Statue"

What a pity, if only the extra word "Statue" were removed, it would be perfect.

If he could analyze the true Demon Ancestor, Lu Xun estimated he could take off on the spot, evolving into a mythical creature overnight!

"Xiao Lu, how’s your situation?" — Ding Xuezhu’s inquiry came through the earpiece.

"Hmm, it’s fine, I’ve already seen that mysterious ancient artifact... nothing mysterious about it, just a statue of the Demon Ancestor carved out of Demon Nether Jade," Lu Xun replied.

"Demon Nether Jade?" Ding Xuezhu was momentarily stunned, having never heard of such a thing.

She searched the database... and there was nothing!

Only two possibilities: either the information has been sealed and the data on Demon Nether Jade has been archived as top secret by the Human Federation.

Or: Demon Nether Jade is a new material discovered and recorded by the Human Federation up to now!

This Demon Ancestor statue is undoubtedly a priceless artifact, a rare treasure, valued at billions at the start.

If the entire ancient city had only this one Divine Hall and statue, it would be even more valuable, a one-of-a-kind piece!

"I understand, come back first, Team 7 has made another discovery, I’ll trouble you to check it out." Ding Xuezhu said.

As for why Lu Xun knew about Demon Nether Jade, although she was curious, she didn’t ask further.

Just like how Lu Xun, despite being so young, could understand the Ancient Demon Language, Treasure Pavilion didn’t bother to investigate further.

Since geniuses are inscrutable, why bother trying to understand them?

The Treasure Pavilion actually has its secrets, and the true purpose of this ruins expedition is known only to Ding Xuezhu in the entire team.

The exploration team’s mission is not just exploration, but also to find an extremely mysterious object.

Headquarters instructed Ding Xuezhu to find the object and bring it back; it’s an incredibly important mission.

She didn’t tell anyone else about this.

Everyone has secrets, and working together means respecting each other, why ask so much?

Even if Lu Xun knew the Treasure Pavilion had secrets, he wouldn’t interfere.

His purpose is simple—just one: Dutch!!!

"Tiring? Not at all, Sister Ding, I’m heading over immediately."

Lu Xun’s eyes lit up at the news of a new discovery, and he immediately left the ruins of the Divine Hall, boarded the flying car, and headed to the next location.

...

In just three hours.

Lu Xun analyzed hundreds of ancient artifacts, gaining over 500,000 Trait Points!

He also found an opportunity to analyze the sheep-headed Kulus in the guise of a greeting.

[...Analysis complete!]

[Trait Points +210,000.]

[Recorded: Biological Illustrated Guide x1, Non-Biological Illustrated Guide x438]

["Illustrated Guide: Sheep Demon - Mortal King"]

...

This King Level powerhouse is a 2nd-order Mortal King.

All those little ornaments and pendants hanging on it turned out to be various Magic Energy Puppets, Demonic Puppets, Mechanical Beasts, and Mechanical Men... a total of 438.

A single individual contributed 210,000 Trait Points.

It seems Puppeteers are much like Necromancers, loyal adherents of the "righteous gang-up" style.

Combat Power entirely relies on a puppet army.

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, come to me quickly, we’ve found a large Ancient Demon Language stele!" — A voice suddenly sounded in his ear again.

Throughout the team, among dozens of expert archaeologists, only Lu Xun was proficient in the writings and language of the Ancient Demon Race.

Everyone else, upon seeing those abstract "tadpole" characters, got headaches.

Only Lu Xun, who earns fifty million daily, can handle it.

"Coming."

He temporarily set aside what he was doing.

He quickly arrived at Ding Xuezhu’s location by flying car.

A massive Magic Text stele stood before the crowd.

It was five meters high and four meters wide!

There were thousands of blue-glowing "tadpoles" squiggling chaotically across it.

"What does it say on it?"

"Alright."

Lu Xun approached, extended his right hand to touch the stele.

After finishing the analysis, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

"This... There’s a Giant Dragon here?"

"And, it’s an Emperor-level Giant Dragon!"
