When holding it in his palm, Tian Yang discovered that this crystal skull was very large, more than a circle larger than a normal human skull. According to this ratio, the creature represented by the skull must be at least two to three meters tall.
Previously, he had watched it through the projection screen at the VIP counter, so he couldn't see it very clearly. Now that he held it in his hand, Tianyang could clearly see that the skull was covered with lines.
These lines do not seem to be simple cracks. The boy vaguely feels that there are some mysterious information hidden in these lines.
As he was observing the skull, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. In an instant, the world in the boy's eyes suddenly became extremely colorful.
The whole world became colorful, and when the eyes fell on the skull, the lines seemed to come alive. The lines lit up with red light, and the light twisted, as if something inside wanted to break free of the skull and fly away!
Buzz—
Tian Yang heard a low humming sound in his ears, and he felt a little dizzy, but not yet fainted. He could barely stay awake, and then he saw that from his arms, chest, and even his entire body, there were large and small, illusory shadows floating out.
They were like tentacles, wrapping around the crystal skull. Tianyang was no stranger to these shadows. When he got Zichen last time, not only did shadows emerge from his body, but even those shadows, as thick as black gauze, constructed a dark boy.
However, this time, the dark young man did not appear. He only cast a shadow from Tianyang's body, and the tentacle-like shadow slid into the stripes on the crystal skull.
At this moment, in the boy's vision, all the lines on the skull lit up. In the dark, he seemed to hear an angry roar, and then the red light as thick as blood began to flow out from the lines on the skull like real blood.
These sticky lights were entangled with the black shadow tentacles, as if they were being pulled out of the skull by the tentacles.
From those red lights, Tianyang could feel anger, humiliation, unwillingness and a hint of helplessness.
Tens of thousands of shadow tentacles kept moving in and out of the crystal skull's lines, pulling out sticky red lights of varying sizes. After those things left the skull, they were affected by some force and squirmed together.
In the end, the light condensed into a huge heart.
A heart as big as a human head!
On this red heart, the boy could see the blood vessels and nerves, and it was beating vigorously.
Every time it beat, it would emit something like smoke. The black tentacles exuded a joyful atmosphere, like a school of black fish, vying to absorb the red smoke emitted by the heart.
Every time he absorbed a wisp of red smoke, Tianyang could feel that the obsidian furnace located in the wilderness of consciousness was vibrating slightly.
The flame in the original furnace was burning fiercely, and pieces of red mist were sprinkled down and merged into the flame. Not only did the flame burn more vigorously, but the color of the flame was gradually changing.
A loud roar sounded in Tianyang's mind, and he looked at the heart in doubt, because his intuition told him that the roar came from the heart.
The heart spurted out a thick and sticky red slurry. They seemed to be the essence of the heart. After spurting out the slurry, the color of the heart quickly dimmed, and from the bottom, a layer of dead gray spread upwards.
As the ashes pass by, the heart gradually withers and dissipates.
But the essence it spewed out was cheered and snatched by millions of tentacles. When the last bit of essence was taken away.
The heart condensed by light eventually turned into specks of blood and disappeared in the flying ashes.
In the wilderness of the young man's consciousness, the earth was shaking, the wind was howling, lightning was flashing and thunder was roaring, and the world was filled with a breath of destruction.
Tianyang struggled to maintain his consciousness in the wilderness, and felt that the breath of destruction was flowing into the cauldron suspended in the air, just like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.
The flame in the original furnace suddenly lit up, and the surface of the furnace crackled, leaving a thin mark.
At first glance, I thought the original furnace was damaged. But after a closer look, I found that the original furnace was not damaged at all. On the contrary, its quality has been improved to a higher level.
And that mark was not a crack, but was actually similar to the stripes on the skull, with a mysterious aura that concealed some kind of mystery.
At this time, the world in the wilderness gradually calmed down, and Tianyang discovered that the flame in the original furnace changed from light purple to dark purple.
Moreover, it has grown a lot bigger, and the core of fire is already the size of an egg.
Some information appeared in Tianyang's heart.
Obsidian Furnace: Level 1
Completion progress: 43%
Awakening ability: weakness, consciousness corrosion, loss of control
... ...
Seeing this information, Tianyang suddenly jumped up in his apartment. After absorbing the essence sprayed out by the heart, the completion progress of the Obsidian Furnace suddenly increased from the original 4%.
Moreover, he also awakened his third ability: loss of control!
In addition, Tianyang also received some vague information, and he roughly knew what was inside the crystal skull.
That is the "source", but Tianyang suspects that this information itself is incomplete. In short, the heart, or the gushing essence, is the origin of something.
At the same time, it is also an important material for completing the Obsidian Furnace!
The crystal skull must contain the "source", so the obsidian furnace was attracted to it. Looking at the skull again, it still looked the same, and even still glowed, but there was something missing in this thing.
Because its "source" has been stripped away and absorbed by the original furnace.
Before setting off, Tianyang was happy to have acquired the third dark ability. Especially after he learned about the effect of the new ability, the smile on his face widened.
Although this skull cost him 100,000 contribution points, it was worth it as it could be exchanged for resources to replenish the original furnace.
After all, opportunities like this don't come often.
After a short rest, Tianyang prepared a dinner for himself through the food customization machine.
While eating dinner, the boy took out "Twelve Movements of the Evening".
This sheet of music is a product of the adverse world. It even has the word "Publisher" on the back. Its paper is special, so it has been able to spend countless hours in the adverse world and finally cross the Krafft Gate to see the light of day again.
The boy opened the sheet music and read through it carefully page by page. However, after reading through the music sheet which only had ten pages, he did not find anything special.
Apart from some annotations, there is nothing special worth noting.
Tianyang was not giving up, thinking that just like Su Lie's diary, something had been done to the cover.
However, there was nothing!
Tianyang was a little puzzled. He didn't even eat his meal. He picked up the music score and looked at it over and over again, but couldn't make any sense of it.
Apart from recognizing that the annotations were written by Liu Jinglin, he really didn't discover anything else.
But this was a clue that Liu Jinglin told him personally. Liu Jinglin must have something to tell him, and this thing was hidden in the music score.
If this is the case, then the clues can probably only be found in those annotations.
Tianyang couldn't help but feel a headache. He just glanced over the annotations, which were all about music-related knowledge. Fortunately, Liu Jinglin was so knowledgeable that he even mentioned music.
But this stumped Tianyang. He was already good enough to be able to recognize the words of the Reverse Realm. As for art, he had never touched upon it.
Helplessly, the boy had to put the music score away first. After this operation was over, he would go to the library to find some music-related books to study and see if he could find what he wanted from the annotations of the music score.
Two days passed in a flash, and today is the day of departure.
Tianyang still carried the storage box on his back, but he also kept the Black Thunder, Purple Glory and Ash Magic Crystals with him in case of emergency.
He was not too worried about this operation. After all, it was just a small-scale air clearance operation, and the mission location was far away from Black Star Fort. Logically, he would not run into any troublesome people.
Besides, there was another team with them. If the two teams looked after each other, even if they couldn't win, they could still escape.
Anyway, there is a clause for retreat in the operation, and the captain can make the decision on his own.
It's eight o'clock in the morning and the morning light is bright.
Tianyang arrived at the Night Walker headquarters. Several Falcon tanks were ready and the soldiers accompanying the team were counting supplies.
When the boy came nearby, he saw Han Shu talking to someone, and thought it should be a member of another team.
Tianyang was a little curious and wondered which team he would work with on this operation.
He was not the only one who felt curious. Kun Lan stretched his neck and looked towards Han Shu.
Han Shu turned around and saw the two of them. He waved and said, "Come over here quickly. Let me introduce you. This is the captain of the Dragon Spear team..."
"Bai Yinglan!"
When Tianyang heard the name, his steps suddenly staggered.
Bai Yinglan
The eldest daughter of the Bai family
Captain, you didn't recognize the wrong person, did you
The young man asked three questions in a row, and when he looked carefully, it turned out to be Bai Yinglan!
She still looked heroic, wearing a dark blue combat uniform, a gorgeous platinum body armor, and holding a silver spear. She was even more heroic than the man.
Behind Bai Yinglan, there were several men and women, all dressed the same as Miss Bai, and each of them had a silver spear. No wonder this team was named "Dragon Spear".
"Hello again, Tianyang."
Bai Yinglan strode over with a silver spear in hand, stretched out her jade hand and gestured with a smile.
Han Shu's mouth suddenly couldn't close, so much so that the cigarette in his mouth fell out. His eyes swept back and forth between Tianyang and the daughter of the Bai family, and finally said sourly: "Tianyang, that little bastard, how come he gets all the good things!"
Tian Yang was also a little surprised. Although he had fought side by side with Bai Yinglan in the Beidou base last time, her attitude today was a little too enthusiastic. She actually took the initiative to shake hands with a nobody like him.
When he got closer, Tian Yang realized that Bai Yinglan's eyes seemed to have been carefully decorated. She had drawn eyeliner and light eye makeup, which made her eyes look more charming than usual... ...
