Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

126: Energy crystal! Calm and calm!”Five hundred years?” Wu Tian was startled, then squinted his eyes, trying his best to look in the direction of the Pyramid in the distance.

At the same time, he asked softly, ”What exactly is this token?”

”The power it generates out of thin air... can actually contend with the power of a black hole?”

”And it has contended for five hundred years?”

”...”

”Time...”

”It is indeed five hundred years!” Hernando nodded respectfully, saying to Wu Tian in a deep voice.

”But the power...”

”It shouldn’t be generated out of thin air!” The purple flames in Hernando’s eye sockets flickered.

”I’ve only seen this token from a distance once. It seems to be floating in the very center of the Pyramid, constantly absorbing power from the Pyramid!”

”And on it...” The ghost fire in Hernando’s eyes flickered.

”It seems to have words written on it, but the words...”

”I don’t recognize them!” ”Haha...” At this point, Hernando’s tone was a bit awkward.

”...”

Zhang Meng was stunned.

”Sigh...”

”Another clueless idiot who suffers from a lack of education!”

”Lame!”

Hernando: ...”...”

”Wait!”

”Let’s not talk about that for now.” Wu Tian waved his hand at Hernando, motioning him to come over.

Then he put his arm around Hernando’s skeletal shoulder, asking in a low voice, ”You just said...”

”The token is located in the innermost center of the Pyramid, so it shouldn’t be visible...”

”How did you discover this token?”

”Did you go inside?”

”Didn’t you say...”

”This Pyramid is your nightmare, and you don’t even want to get close to it?” A cold light flickered in Wu Tian’s eyes.

”...”

”No...” Hernando was startled, and the purple flames in his skull immediately flickered wildly. If Wu Tian hadn’t been holding his shoulder, he would have almost knelt on the ground.

”Brother Wu Tian...”

”Lord!”

”Please listen to my explanation, this Pyramid is indeed my nightmare, and I have truly never entered it...”

”...Hmm?” Wu Tian tightened his grip on Hernando’s shoulder.

Hernando’s speech quickened!

”But...”

”This Pyramid is transparent!”

”It’s completely transparent!!”

”How could I not see what’s inside?”

”Lord...”

”Wuwu... please release my shoulder, it hurts, it’s cracking...”

...”Completely transparent?” Wu Tian was stunned, then looked at the trembling Blue Flame Skeleton, Hernando, beside him... his brow slightly raised.

”Are you telling the truth?”

”...It’s true!” Hernando didn’t hesitate, nodding vigorously at Wu Tian.

”If you don’t believe me, I can take you to see it!”

”You’ll know I’m not lying once you see it!” Hernando patted his ribs, guaranteeing!

”...”

”Hmm...” Wu Tian released his right hand from Hernando, stroking his chin in thought.

The Pyramid was right in front of them, Hernando couldn’t possibly lie to them, so... this Pyramid should indeed be transparent!

Transparent, hard, immortal!

It can even contend with a black hole!

What kind of material is this thing made of?

Does such a thing exist on Earth? It’s a bit too outrageous, isn’t it?

...A few breaths later.

Wu Tian once again looked at Hernando beside him.

”I’ll assume you’re not lying for now!”

”Then let me ask you again.”

”Since this Pyramid is transparent, then what...”

”What material is it made of?”

”Material...” Hernando’s skull paused, then his mouth slowly widened.

He babbled at the seawater for a long time.

Then he tapped his skull and said to Wu Tian, ”This...”

”It’s very large, very transparent, blue, like jelly... no, it should be like crystal, and there are ripples flowing on it like water, I guess... these ripples are the energy it contains!”

”...”

”Like crystal...” Zhang Meng frowned, biting the dead skin on the side of her finger.

”Speaking of crystal, I recall a previous discovery!”

”...”

Hearing Zhang Meng speak, Wu Tian, Fatty, and Hernando all turned their gaze to Zhang Meng.

They all showed an inquiring expression.

”Hmm...”

”It should have been in 1927 when archaeologists discovered a crystal skull in the Mayan ruins of Belize, Central America. The crystal skull was entirely processed and ground from quartz, almost the same size as a human skull.”

”And it is said...” Zhang Meng’s tone was low.

”This crystal skull contains a large amount of energy. Although we humans cannot extract and utilize it, preliminary estimates suggest...”

”The energy contained in this small crystal skull will be a hundred times the energy released by the complete nuclear fission of the same volume of Uranium-235!” Zhang Meng’s voice suddenly rose.

”Attention!”

”The premise is complete fission of Uranium-235!”

”...”

”...”

Fatty and Wu Tian immediately fell silent. Having experienced Chernobyl, they were even more sensitive to ”nuclear energy.”

If this crystal really possessed such immense power... contending with a black hole didn’t seem impossible, did it?

In fact... for a sufficiently large amount of crystal.

It would be incredibly easy!

...After listening to Hernando’s introduction and Zhang Meng’s speculation about this energy crystal!

The Fans in front of the live stream... all went crazy!

”No way...”

”I feel like my worldview is going to crack. This is clearly the Bermuda Triangle!”

”Where did a giant crystal Pyramid come from?”

”How did it get involved with the Mayan civilization again?”

”How come I’ve noticed that ever since I came to this live stream, the whole world has become increasingly outrageous in my eyes?”

”...”

”Brother upstairs, I actually feel the same way.”

”The title is just ’Outdoor Adventure,’ but every time it makes me wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night!”

”This is simply...”

”Too sinful!”

”No, brothers...”

”If you analyze it carefully, Miss Zhang Meng just mentioned that the Mayans made a skull out of this crystal, so this crystal Pyramid here...”

”Wouldn’t it be related to the Mayans?”

”Holy crap!”

”Don’t talk nonsense upstairs, what if it’s really like that.”

”Then what if the Host goes in and finds a doomsday prophecy?”

”I’m still a virgin!”

”Don’t mess with me!”

”...”

”Mayan civilization...” Wu Tian frowned, keenly catching the originator of the crystal skull in Zhang Meng’s words.

”Since...”

”That crystal skull came from the Mayan civilization.”

”Then this crystal Pyramid here must also be related to the Mayan civilization, right?”

”Could it be...”

”This crystal Pyramid was also created by the Mayans?”

”...”

Zhang Meng was stunned.

Then her eyes lit up as she looked at Wu Tian!

She nodded heavily!

”It’s very possible!”

”Then this place...”

”Could it very possibly be a stronghold of the Mayans, or rather... a part of their civilization?”

”This...” Excitement flickered in Zhang Meng’s eyes!

”This will probably be a discovery that changes history!”

...”Uh, I don’t quite understand, can someone explain to me how discovering the Mayan civilization is a discovery that changes history?”

”Hasn’t the Mayan civilization already been discovered?”

”And...”

”Isn’t the origin of the Mayan civilization in Central America?”

”This is the Atlantic Ocean, what the hell do these two have to do with each other?”

”...”

A Fan was suddenly confused after Zhang Meng said this, typing on the public screen to ask.

”Bah!” A Fan who understood this knowledge typed an explanation for him on the public screen.

”Brother upstairs.”

”The place where the Mayan civilization was discovered is indeed Central America, but if traces of the Mayan civilization are also found in the distant Atlantic Ocean, wouldn’t this be a conclusion that changes the already established historical theories?”

”Furthermore!”

”The reason why the Mayan civilization is mysterious is because of its five prophecies, so if...”

”Other prophecies are also discovered here!”

”Wouldn’t that count as changing history?”

”...”

”Understood!” The questioning Fan suddenly saw the light!

”Thanks for the explanation, brother, but allow me to ask one more question...”

”Uh...”

”What are the five Mayan prophecies?”

”...”

”What are you asking for?!”

”Go Google it yourself!”

...”Let’s go, lead the way!” Wu Tian smiled slightly, raising his foot and kicking Hernando’s pelvis.

”Since you don’t dare to approach this crystal Pyramid, then first take us to where you live, your...”

Wu Tian scratched his head.

”Oh, right!”

”aztec gold coin, I’m quite interested in this thing, Hernando...” Wu Tian asked the latter with a smile.

”Does this aztec gold coin have the same effect on living people? Can it also activate our soul Talent?”

”...”

Hernando shivered, barely steadying himself.

He turned his head and gave Wu Tian an awkward smile.

”Haha...”

”I’m really not sure about that, after all...”

”I’ve only used this coin on dead people!”

”However...”

”I can definitely take you there!” Hernando said obsequiously to Wu Tian and the two people behind him.

”Haha...”

”Would you like to try it yourself?”

”Mm!” Wu Tian nodded in satisfaction, reaching out to stroke Hernando’s bald skull.

”Not bad!”

”You’re a sensible guy!”

...Although Hernando didn’t dare to approach the crystal Pyramid, out of curiosity and research into some of the Pyramid’s secrets, Hernando’s dwelling was still located at the intersection of the ’Underwater Graveyard’ and the crystal Pyramid’s area.

In a relatively flat, muddy seabed... a huge stone house suddenly appeared before everyone’s eyes!

Calling it a stone house... in Zhang Meng’s view, it was more like a standard luxurious residence for a Stone Age chieftain!

The first floor was quite tall, sealed on all sides, with no windows.

The second floor seemed to have been damaged by something.

Apart from the half-wall that still stood, the entire second floor was left with only a bare floor, and... a particularly conspicuous stone chest!

”...”

To be honest.

If these ancient artifacts appeared on land, they would at most be considered cultural relics!

They wouldn’t be particularly shocking.

However... appearing nearly ten thousand meters deep underwater, it was quite thought-provoking!

”...”

”This is it!”

”I’ll take you inside!” Hernando pointed to the huge stone house in front of him.

After ordering the other skeletons to wait outside, he led Wu Tian and the two others into the first floor of the house.

Then, following a stone staircase inside the house, he led the three directly up to the second floor.

”...”

”This is the treasure chest filled with aztec gold coins.” Hernando pointed to the only stone chest on the second-floor platform.

”Generally speaking...”

He scratched his head.

”When I test the soul Talent of the deceased, I always put their hand into the chest and help them take out a coin.”

”And it’s when the coin is taken out of the chest that these deceased...”

”Their soul Talent will manifest!”

”How about...” Hernando looked at Wu Tian and the two others.

”I’ll open the chest now, and you each take out a coin and try it?”

”...”

Wu Tian was silent for a moment.

Then he glanced at Zhang Meng and Fatty.

Then he turned his head and nodded faintly at Hernando.

”Then let’s do it!”

”I’ll try first!”

”...”

”Alright!” The purplish-blue flames in Hernando’s eye sockets flickered slightly.

Without further ado, he turned and went to the treasure chest containing the aztec gold coins.

He reached out.

”Creak...” The stone chest was flung open by Hernando.

The dark golden coins shimmered with a mysterious luster in the dim seabed.

Fist-sized coins, with a large skull carved in the center, were piled full in the chest.

Symbolizing wealth and status!

The flames in Hernando’s eye sockets flickered, revealing the indelible greed and desire in his soul!

But he quickly came back to his senses.

He turned and made a welcoming gesture to Wu Tian.

”Esteemed Mr. Wu Tian.”

”Please take a coin from the chest to test your soul Talent!”

”...”

Wu Tian nodded.

With a solemn expression, he approached the stone chest.

He reached out his hand!

”Clatter...” The sound of gold rubbing together intoxicated Hernando.

At the same time... a dark golden coin... was taken out by Wu Tian!

”...”

One breath passed... two breaths... five breaths... a full minute passed!

The entire seabed, under the nervous gaze of all the skeletons... nothing happened!

”...”

”Phew...” One of the Green Flame Skeletons wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

”That really scared the hell out of me!”

”I thought this human was so strong, his Talent would be strong too!”

”Haha...”

”Turns out he’s a waste!”

”Yeah!” The skeleton on the other side nodded in agreement.

”Hernando’s purple Talent, ’King’s Might,’ couldn’t even subdue him. I thought his Talent was also a pressure-type, and even more advanced!”

”Who knew...”

”He’s nothing at all!”

”Haha...” A coarse laugh rang out.

The Green Flame Skeleton who used his head as a pelvis chuckled.

”Who’s to say.”

”All bark and no bite, haha...”

”A false alarm!”

”...”

But just as all the skeletons, including Hernando who stood on the second floor, breathed a sigh of relief... an unexpected event occurred!

”Buzz!” A golden light suddenly erupted from Wu Tian’s eyes!

Immediately after... an ancient, solemn roar, as if echoing from everyone’s soul... appeared in everyone’s heart!

”My King...”

”Dominates...”

”The Six Directions!”

Boom!

Crack... All the skeletons, including Hernando, instantly... all knelt on the ground!

Even some weaker skeletons were directly ground into powder by this extreme pressure!

Dissipating into the dark seawater!

”...”

Crack!

Another soft sound... The Green Flame Skeleton who used his head as a pelvis also turned into bone dust after less than a second of resistance, scattering into the vast seawater!

A Blue Flame Skeleton beside him twitched his mouth... ”May he rest in heaven...”

”Without any more pressure!”
