Chapter 96 Space
Chapter 96 Space
"Was my intuition wrong?"
That shouldn't be happening!
Xia Xue seemed to realize something, so she shifted her gaze from the bronze coffin and slowly swept her eyes over the items she had taken from the coffin using her mental power and displayed around it.
She activated her premonition with all her might, her gaze slowly sweeping over each item, and finally, at a snakeskin bag, her premonition was triggered.
Xia Xue flashed to the front of the snakeskin bag and examined the seemingly ordinary-looking bag.
"This, is it the treasure that triggered my premonition?"
It looks pretty ordinary.
"Could it be what's inside the snakeskin bag?"
Xia Xue's eyes lit up, and she probed the bag with her divine sense, only to find an empty bag with nothing inside.
"Empty?"
Xia Xue looked at the ordinary snakeskin bag with a surprised expression.
"That matching treasure really is this snakeskin bag."
Tracing the source!
As the investigation progressed, Xia Xue's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"So, this is a spatial bag."
During her investigation, she saw the necromancer use it to put many things inside, including a mountain of cash that was over ten meters high. He then took it out without any hindrance.
"This space is clearly very large."
However, it's still a bit lacking compared to her dimensional space.
At this moment, Xia Xue roughly guessed what it would be compatible with.
"Teleportation ability? Not bad."
Xia Xue used her telekinetic power to roll up the snakeskin bag and levitate it in front of her.
"It's truly a case of a divine object concealing its true nature. If we hadn't used the tracing technique, how could we have discovered that this seemingly ordinary snakeskin bag was actually a rare spatial artifact?"
Xia Xue gently touched the snakeskin bag, and the system's voice arrived as expected.
"Item highly compatible with the teleportation ability detected. Treasure chest generating..."
Looking at the snakeskin bag that had disappeared from her hand, Xia Xue smiled smugly, revealing an expression that said, "Just as I expected."
"Space! I wonder what kind of abilities it will evolve into?"
As she waited expectantly, the system's voice sounded again.
"Open the treasure chest, and a spatial spirit - the Devouring Python - will be born in the dimensional space, adding the Devouring attribute."
"The Devouring Python: A mythical remnant species, born with spatial power. Its snake skin forms its own space and possesses the ability to devour, continuously absorbing spatial energy from the world and allowing its internal space to generate itself."
"Devouring attribute: The dimensional space can devour the spatial energy in contact with the spatial membrane to expand itself. The consumption of this spatial energy does not affect the spatial energy stored within the space for teleportation."
Xia Xue saw that the radius of her personal space had increased from seventy meters to eighty meters.
Previously, the flames of the Nether Phoenix burned the silver corpse, which increased the space by nearly nine meters. With the previous accumulation, the space of the sea of consciousness increased to seventy meters.
This adds another way to level up by defeating monsters.
Xia Xue discovered that there was a large amount of cash and other items in the dimensional space.
"These extra cash and items must be the accumulation of the shaman over many years."
Xia Xue then discovered something, shook her head and said, "To be more precise, it should be the accumulation of Netherfire over the years."
Xia Xue noticed that this dimensional space seemed to have become more spiritual. Concentrating her senses, she finally saw a small, transparent snake curled up and sleeping deep within the space.
"This is the 'Spirit of Space - Devouring Python'? It looks so small, it doesn't match its imposing name at all."
Xia Xue sensed the spatial membrane of the dimensional space and found that some changes had indeed occurred. It seemed to be breathing, shimmering with gray light.
As the gray light flickered, the unclaimed spatial energy that the membrane was in contact with also disappeared, and the membrane seemed to have grown a little larger.
"Although the growth rate is very slow, it's free, so what more could you ask for?"
Moreover, due to the existence of unified characteristics, the growth of dimensional space is not a single increase, but an overall increase.
She could clearly feel that her Qi Sea, Blood Sea, and Consciousness Sea were all showing a noticeable increase as the membranes flickered.
"Collect the bronze coffin!"
After scanning the area and confirming that nothing of value had been left behind, he clapped his hands in satisfaction.
"Let's go!"
With a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
……
Three hours after Xia Xue left, it was already dark. A special operations team composed of archaeologists, martial artists, and people with superpowers, led by Hu Jiu, arrived at the ancient tomb again.
"Since you don't have the Tomb Raider Token, you can only learn from the Unloading Ridge School and dig a tunnel to get in."
The three leaders were a leading figure in the archaeological field in his fifties or sixties, a martial arts master in his forties with internal strength, and a superhuman in his twenties.
The old man looked around, shook his head slightly, and asked, "How deep is that imperial tomb?"
Hu Jiu replied, "It's probably fifty or sixty meters deep."
The old man pondered and said, "This depth should be somewhat off. When it was buried, it shouldn't have been this deep, at most only thirty or forty meters. Plus, considering the location, this seems to be an imperial tomb of the Western Wei Dynasty. However, I don't know why it wasn't buried next to other Western Wei imperial tombs, but in a separate place. It's really strange."
The martial artist, a man in his forties with internal strength, laughed and said, "It's probably about immortality and resurrection again, haha."
Having received Hu Jiu's report, he naturally knew that the emperor had truly been resurrected.
Even as a zombie, regaining one's sanity, in some ways, is indeed like living a second life.
His plan succeeded.
However, he was unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire of the battle between the mysterious force and the Netherfire, becoming cannon fodder and being killed on the spot by a member of that mysterious force.
The superpowered man frowned and said, "Can't you take me in first? Once I'm inside, I can use my teleportation ability to teleport them all in."
Hu Jiu shook his head regretfully and said, "Unless you have a tomb raiding token, there's nothing I can do."
The martial artist with hidden strength laughed and, with a flick of his wrist, produced three Tomb Raider Tokens from who-knows-where.
"The Tomb Raider Token is a rare treasure for you, but it's not unusual for the government."
Hu Jiu gave the martial artist with a deep look, nodded and said, "After you sign your bond with him with blood, I will take you inside."
The martial artist with internal strength was very satisfied with Hu Jiu's cooperation.
"Don't worry, we have recorded your contributions. Your resume is excellent. Although you went into the tomb, you did not cause any damage. You even handed over a lot of cultural relics and submitted the locations of many large tombs. The City Lord's Mansion has long noticed you and intends to recruit you into the newly established special department. I wonder if Mr. Hu is interested?"
Hu Jiu's face lit up with joy.
"Of course, it is something we cannot obtain."
The Tomb Raiders, also known as the Tomb Raider Captains, are government-affiliated thieves, and naturally do not have the taboo against other cultivators entering officialdom.
The martial artist with internal strength laughed and handed the tomb raiding token to the archaeological expert and the superhuman, assuring them, "After this operation, you will be a full member of our department."
Hu Jiu asked curiously, "What's the name of our department?"
Upon hearing the department's name, the martial artist with internal strength immediately became solemn: "The Department of Abnormal Events Investigation."
