Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2157 - 2158: Doubts

"Shouldn’t we hurry to warn them?"

Qi Chen asked Feng Yuan anxiously, and Feng Yuan shook his head, saying

"No need. Although it’s a bit troublesome, I don’t think the likelihood of danger here is high. Besides, assessing the true situation of a relic isn’t just about relying on others’ information."

Feng Yuan discovered after a simple check that the possibility of danger here was low, so he didn’t think it was necessary to warn them. As for accidental injuries?

The nature of this action has been emphasized many times by the academy, and those who blindly trust the information provided by the academy without any critical thinking are bound to make mistakes before they learn their lesson.

Initially, those students were very excited. They were eager to uncover important information that the excavation team missed, unfortunately, not even Dou Yanlan was very optimistic about this.

The truth is, amidst the excitement, some students still managed to think calmly. As the group raced to decipher mechanisms and discover unknown treasures, some noticed something off.

It’s not just the room’s size, the mechanisms themselves had some peculiarities; at least some of them didn’t resemble normal theft deterrents.

Given the frequent travelers, the protective mechanisms inside the post station should primarily be non-sensitive triggering types with warning functionalities. However, the situation here was different.

The recently deciphered mechanism, though damaged, still had a certain retaliatory capability, and most importantly, the Ghost Series Spirit Beast mentioned by the teacher was yet to be seen.

As the students realized this, they began to gather within the station ruins. Even though it wasn’t a large group, the number acting together grew from a handful to more than a dozen.

Some even invited Feng Yuan to join their team, but Feng Yuan considered it unnecessary. In terms of deciphering mechanisms, Qi Chen and his peers working together were sufficient, while Feng Yuan focused more on exploring the relic’s remains.

"Hmm, this appears to be the Yinshan Bronze Armor. If this falls into the hands of those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, it could be troublesome."

Picking up some bronze armors, Feng Yuan spoke with some concern. He hadn’t expected the mechanisms to employ those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, but fortunately, the area of their exploration had been cleared by the excavation team.

Even though they are conducting archaeological excavation work, their team’s strength is not weak, basically comparable to the teachers at Maomu Academy, and they possess tools and weapons that many academy teachers lack.

This is primarily because many relics in this world contain dangerous traps and mechanisms, and using Spirit Beasts as guardians is quite common. Without a strong team, an excavation team might not even be able to complete the archaeological work safely, risking prolonged engagements that could cause irreparable damage to the relics.

Of course, it also depends on the relic’s level of significance. Therefore, the initial assessment, even though difficult, is an extremely crucial step; not everyone is an expert right off the bat.

Even the veterans of excavation teams progressed step by step from rookies. As long as they don’t damage vital relics, minor damages are permissible.

This time, the excavation team members were curious about the students’ capabilities and whether they could handle the relic safely from the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts.

"Qi Chen, share the Yinshan Bronze Armor information with everyone else, remember to mark it as important news."

Casting a glance around the modest guest room, Feng Yuan spoke with a serious expression to Qi Chen. If the Yinshan Bronze Armor falls into the hands of the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, depending on the quantity, it could significantly enhance their ability in group battles.

As for important news reminders, it’s a feature in the communication group typically used to alert group members about crucial information, with mobile phones defaulting to emit a distinct alert sound.

"Is this appropriate? What if someone is sneaking up on those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts?"

Qi Chen hesitated upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, rolling his eyes as Feng Yuan replied with irritation.

"Who doesn’t mute their phone during stealth maneuvers? Let this be a hard lesson for them."

"The Yinshan Bronze Armor... why didn’t they issue a warning?"

Staring at the Yinshan Bronze Armor on the floor, Dou Yanlan rubbed his chin with a heavy expression; the Yinshan Bronze Armor is no ordinary item, a mistake with it could cause big trouble even for the excavation team.

Feng Yuan guessed something and said with a shrug,

"They either didn’t recognize this thing or just did a cursory inspection without a thorough search; after all, this place is a bit deceptive."

Typically, guest rooms wouldn’t store props like the Yinshan Bronze Armor; not only is it unnecessary, but also inappropriate.

Yinshan Bronze Armor is crafted from special minerals, materials that enable Ghost Series Spirit Beasts to effortlessly control armor crafted from them.

Utilizing the Yinshan Bronze Armor, Ghost Series Spirit Beasts can achieve effects similar to an Army of the Undead, although this is only effective at low levels. Despite the Yinshan Bronze Armor’s materials, even without considering disrupting or interfering with the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts’ control over energies, to Spirit Beasts of Legendary Level, this thing could still be easily broken.

Yet, for them, this is quite troublesome because their attacks can’t destroy the Yinshan Bronze Armor, making it difficult to attack the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts with this barrier.

If the excavation team had discovered this, they surely would have warned about it; otherwise, the Yinshan Bronze Armor might cause considerable trouble or even injuries among the students.

"Not good!"

The excavation team’s captain, watching the students through equipment, sprang up upon seeing the important message posted by Qi Chen in the dedicated communication group, ready to dash into the relic.

"Old Tang, didn’t you find any indication of the Yinshan Bronze Armor?"

The accompanying teacher asked skeptically, watching the nervous captain who busily instructed team members while saying,

"How would I know something like that could be there!"

"Look where it is — the guest room! Who knew they’d put that thing in a guest room!"

The excavation team, initially relaxed and watching the proceedings, now moved frantically as if their feet were on fire, mainly because the Yinshan Bronze Armor was beyond the students’ curriculum.

Not just students; even they would find it challenging to handle.

They also wondered, however, why the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts didn’t utilize the Yinshan Bronze Armor initially, knowing they were clearing several areas.

Initially, many Ghost Series Spirit Beasts roamed this place, but for various reasons, they merely drove them off without additional actions.

Yet, while resisting, those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts didn’t employ the Yinshan Bronze Armor, was it because they didn’t know it existed?

Though puzzled by many aspects, they have no time to ponder now; the immediate priority is to extract and properly store all the Yinshan Bronze Armor, otherwise, if they continue exploring, those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts might use them to launch simultaneous attacks, complicating matters.

"Approximately five sets of Yinshan Bronze Armor, including two partially damaged ones; this place is rather strange, why store such weapons in the guest rooms?"

After tallying up the Yinshan Bronze Armor found, Feng Yuan questioned, puzzled; in ancient times, this would be classified as military gear, why place these in guest rooms, weren’t they worried about accidents?

Could it be remnants left behind by previous guests?

This site wasn’t abandoned due to war, so the likelihood of anything being left by guests is virtually nil, moreover, other students found similar items in guest rooms.

This indicates the items were intentionally placed here.

Aside from this, Feng Yuan and others puzzled over why they did this, as evidence indicates the post station didn’t close due to sudden events but was deliberately abandoned.

Thus, the Yinshan Bronze Armor was deliberately left here; why would they do this?

Eyeing the guest room’s door, Feng Yuan felt this place might be more complicated than it appeared.
