Chapter 6988 Olivia
"boom!"
The shockwave from the alchemical bomb devastated the chamber, tearing the bodies of the four explorers to shreds.
Its terrifying destructive power is enough to destroy a six-story building, instantly leveling it to the ground.
However, at the entrance to the secret chamber, a water-like energy barrier completely blocked the violent shockwave.
Olivia, who was at the station entrance, was unharmed, but was quite frightened by the explosion.
At the moment of the explosion, she was thinking of escaping, but found that she could not move her body.
It was as if an invisible force was binding her body, making it impossible for her to move even an inch.
Watching the explosion, Olivia felt utterly hopeless, thinking she was doomed.
The surging, terrifying air currents did not tear her body apart, and even the sound was barely audible.
It seems a mischievous child set off a firecracker inside the house. The sound wasn't very loud, but the destructive power was astonishing.
The entire interior of the secret chamber was reduced to ruins in an instant, with dust spreading everywhere.
The tin can-shaped mechanical puppet was also reduced to a pile of scrap metal, with its parts scattered in different parts of the secret room.
The four adventurers inside had long since vanished without a trace, reduced to a pile of rotten flesh and ashes.
This horrific scene horrified Olivia; if she were in the secret room, she would probably be dead by now.
At this moment, she didn't know whether to feel fortunate or fearful, but more than anything, she felt lost.
Opening the secret room doesn't mean you've got the opportunity; you still have to face various risks and pay a price before you can succeed.
Not to mention that at this moment, things were no longer under her control, but had involved Tang Zhen.
Such a powerful figure, possessing such terrifying strength, could crush her like an ant.
The energy barrier before us is the best proof that even an alchemical bomb, powerful enough to destroy a secret chamber and turn mechanical puppets into scrap metal, cannot break through a transparent energy film.
This was the first time Olivia had ever seen such terrifying defensive power, and she gained a clear understanding of the strength of high-level cultivators.
At this moment, she only prayed that her life would not be taken away; the opportunities and treasures in the secret room were perhaps destined to be out of her reach.
He had also heard that high-level experts were capricious and could easily lose their lives if they said something that displeased the other party.
Although he appeared calm and composed from the moment he met Tang Zhen, he did not exert any pressure on anyone.
Olivia, however, dared not relax for a moment, always feeling that Tang Zhen was a volcano, and once it erupted, it would cause a cataclysmic upheaval.
An ant like her would be instantly pulverized in the face of such raging fury.
Rather than hoping that a high-level cultivator is kind-hearted, it's better to be cautious yourself and try not to offend their taboos.
At this moment, Olivia could be described as trembling with fear, even her breathing seemed cautious.
Just as she was at a loss, she saw Tang Zhen wave his hand, and the energy barrier blocking the entrance to the secret room instantly dissipated.
While Olivia was still in shock, Tang Zhen had already entered and arrived at another door inside the secret room.
"Hurry up and come in."
Upon hearing this voice, Olivia's heart tightened, but her body moved forward uncontrollably.
The dusty, enclosed room has now become spotless, as if an invisible force has suppressed all the dust.
Even after landing on the ground and experiencing vibrations and tapping, it still won't start dancing.
"This secret room door uses the Nine Stars Continuous Orbit Algorithm. To crack the code, you must determine the position and name of the nine stars, and then deduce and calculate based on their respective data."
If the secret chamber originated from another world, the difficulty of solving it would increase a hundredfold. Under normal circumstances, it would take years to make any progress. Tang Zhen didn't turn his head, but stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the door and commenting on the energy circuits above it.
At first, Olivia was a little distracted, but her eyes soon lit up.
A powerful high-level cultivator personally recounting the solution—this is an invaluable opportunity.
Missing out on this kind of knowledge is practically a crime against oneself.
At this moment, Olivia put aside all her chaotic thoughts and listened with unusual seriousness.
Tang Zhen seemed oblivious, continuing to mutter to himself while operating the device with one hand.
The fact that the cracking could be completed directly in the void without the need for a tool table filled Olivia with envy.
He secretly fantasized that if he were to advance to a higher level one day, he would surely be able to crack the door to the secret room with the same ease.
In less than two minutes, the door to the secret room suddenly opened, revealing the scene inside.
The secret room is about 300 square meters in size and contains a long workbench with various parts on it.
There were three boxes next to me, which looked like trash cans, and they were stuffed full at the moment.
In a corner of the secret room, there were seven puppets, each with a different shape, their surfaces covered with a thick layer of dust.
In addition, there are other items scattered throughout the secret room, making it look like a studio.
"Puppet Workshop!"
Upon seeing the scene before her, Olivia was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout out.
This secret realm mainly produces all kinds of puppets, and it is suspected to be related to a sect that is good at making puppets.
Over the years, explorers have discovered many golems and various technological legacies here, thus acquiring a great deal of wealth.
An undiscovered secret chamber, especially one specifically designed for creating puppets, clearly possesses immense value.
Especially for a senior apprentice, a female cultivator from another race with no background whatsoever, this was an absolute treasure.
If she could possess it, her future path of cultivation would be much smoother.
But in an instant, Olivia suddenly realized that none of this had anything to do with her.
Before today, she could perhaps still be dreaming of opening this secret room all to herself.
However, today's experience has made Olivia realize many things she had never thought about before.
For example, given her abilities, is it really possible for her to open the secret chamber and obtain the opportunities and inheritances within?
She knew the answer; the chances were extremely slim.
She is not formally trained and has not received systematic education; all her existing knowledge comes from self-study.
Although she is indeed talented, she has genuine congenital deficiencies. Many common-sense questions require Olivia to study for a long time before she can understand them.
The true teachings, conveyed in a single sentence, are most clearly and explicitly embodied in Olivia, a cultivator who came from a self-taught background.
Without a teacher's guidance, one will take many detours and waste more precious time.
The height that can be barely reached after decades of silent hard work is merely the starting point for cultivators with inherited skills.
This is the gap, a gap that breeds despair and resentment.
Olivia was previously gloating, thinking that she had opened the door to the secret chamber, giving the group of explorers the opportunity to steal it.
Having witnessed Tang Zhen's methods, Olivia realized that it was very likely Tang Zhen who had opened the secret room door earlier.
If it weren't for what happened today, Olivia might have wasted a lot of time and energy on this secret room, squandering all her accumulated experience, only to end up with nothing to show for it.
Either she won't be able to open the secret chamber door, or it will be forcibly taken by other explorers. In short, it's impossible for her to open the secret chamber, obtain the inheritance, and successfully realize all her dreams as she imagined.
