537 Chapter 537, half of the people had died!
The program was written by a strange program, and through Yang Tian’s spiritual power, the program was sent to the auxiliary device, Ding Dang. Ding Dang commanded the micro-machine, and the hundreds of storage tools that Yang Tian had collected.., all of them took away a crucial rune part.
Those tiny rune parts were all numbered and stored. The next time they were taken out, they would be put on the number.
This process sounded simple, but the complexity was also very high. If one was not careful, they would destroy the storage tools.
Hundreds of storage tools took an entire day to complete the folding process.
After completing it, Yang Tian put all hundreds of storage tools into the black storage bracelet that he used the earliest.
The rune parts that were taken out, along with the hundreds of miniature intelligent machines that carried them, were put into an empty stone box that originally stored beast cores and stored into the silver storage bracelet.
After collecting a large number of storage bracelets, Yang Tian planned to do the same.
Of course, after taking apart the first black storage bracelet, he also carried out installation tests. After discovering that the dismantling process did not cause any changes to the storage bracelet’s array glyphs, and that the storage bracelet was not affected in any way.., only then did he begin to dismantle the storage bracelet in large numbers.
After storing the hundreds of storage bracelets, under the guidance of the Little Azure Dragon, Yang Tian entered the second level of this abandoned ship.
There were also many stone rooms on the second floor, and the space in each room was a little wider. The height was also about fifteen meters, which was almost five meters higher than the stone room on the first floor.
Under the guidance of the Little Azure Dragon, Yang Tian went through a rotating stone staircase and entered a stone room on the second floor.
In this stone room, Yang Tian found many green stone materials.
Some of the stones were polished and engraved with runes. Some of the stones were still half-finished and had just been polished to half-finished. Most of them were stones with irregular shapes that had just been collected.
Under the gravity of this abandoned ship, each stone weighed several tons.
The Little Azure Dragon told Yang Tian that in the hundreds of stone rooms on the second floor, almost all of them were stored with these green stones.
Even without the scanning equipment, Yang Tian could see that these stones were much newer than the stones that made up this stone ship.
In other words, these stones were moved here after the stone ship was destroyed. What was their purpose! Without guessing, one would know that someone definitely wanted to repair this stone ship.
The density of these green stones was very high, and the materials were even and dense. They were the best materials used to carve rune arrays, as well as the best materials to repair this stone ship.
The Little Azure Dragon had entered the interior of the stone ship previously and searched it at an extremely fast speed. After leading Yang Tian to the first room filled with bluestones, it directly led Yang Tian to a stone chamber where corpses were piled up.
The length and width of this stone chamber were around fifty to sixty meters. Such a large stone chamber was actually filled with dried corpses.
The dried corpses were all randomly thrown here. It was very messy, and there were probably over a thousand of them.
Yang Tian took a closer look and was surprised to find that the corpses here were not piled up not long after they died. Instead, after a very long time, they had become dried corpses before they were collected, they were thrown into this stone room.
This inevitably made Yang Tian guess that not long before he came here, there were also people who came here..
Thinking of this possibility, Yang Tian immediately became vigilant.
Although he didn’t sense the presence of life aura in the surroundings, he couldn’t guarantee that there weren’t any living things on this ship, right?
If he carried a talisman artifact that specialized in shielding life aura, it would be able to prevent his own life aura from being emitted, making it impossible for others to detect it.
“Little Dragon, pay attention. Perhaps there are other people on this ship,”Yang Tian said to the little azure dragon on his shoulder.
The little green dragon nodded and immediately flew out of the stone room where the corpses were piled up and went outside to stand guard.
Following that, Yang Tian began to rummage through the pile of corpses. All the storage tools that were worn by the corpses were taken away by him and put into the bag that he was carrying.
After more than an hour, the search was finally completed. The bag that Yang Tian was carrying was also full.
This time, he had also collected hundreds of storage bracelets.
What made Yang Tian feel regretful was that many storage bracelets on the mummies had been destroyed during the battle.
One had to know that most of these corpses were incomplete… if these corpses hadn’t turned into mummies, that scene would have been unbearable for Yang Tian.
After collecting the storage bracelets, Yang Tian once again found an empty stone room. He took one of the rune parts from the hundreds of storage bracelets and put them into two storage bracelets.
After he was done, Yang Tian asked Ding Dang to tell him the time. If he used the time on the Ketra Star to calculate, it had already been nearly four days.
Time passed really quickly without him realizing it!
After collecting more than a thousand storage bracelets, Yang Tian was naturally happy. Together with the Little Azure Dragon, they comfortably ate a roast meat and drank enough wine in this quiet and unfamiliar environment.
The fresh meat would not go bad if it was placed into the storage bracelet. The roasted meat that Yang Tian had prepared was enough to last for a long time. However, there was not much wine left. They had to save some for later.
The second level had already been seen by the Little Azure Dragon. Below it was the third level, the fourth level..
After searching for 25 levels consecutively, Yang Tian had a rough impression of the upper structure of the ship in his mind.
Starting from the first floor, the lower the floor, the smaller the space on the ship.
The stone chambers on the upper floor should be used to store items, but other than green stone and dried corpses, there was nothing else.
Yang Tian estimated that perhaps the cultivators on the ship would put the items into their storage tools the moment they encountered an attack.
But with storage tools, did they still need to store the items on the ship? Wasn’t this a waste of space?
Or perhaps, these stone chambers were originally used to store people.
Other than the first and second floors, Yang Tian’s harvest was much less. He only found over a hundred storage tools.
After looking through the twenty-fifth floor, he took over a hundred storage tools, took out runic parts, and stored them into his storage bracelet. Yang Tian and the little azure dragon rested for a few hours before going down to the twenty-sixth floor.
After the twenty-fifth floor, from the twenty-sixth floor onwards, it was no longer a stone room for storing things. Instead, they entered the ship’s control cabin.
What appeared in Yang Tian’s eyes were countless stone pillars with a diameter of more than five meters. The stone pillars were naturally engraved with runes.
Other than the stone pillars, there were also many semicircular spheres protruding from the ground. They were evenly distributed among the stone pillars. They were connected by dark red energy lines that were about as thick as an arm.
Yang Tian felt that this was the engine room of the entire ship. Those semicircular spheres that protruded from the ground and had a diameter of more than ten meters were energy reactors.
This place was obviously damaged. Some of the stone pillars and spheres were missing a piece.
The runes on those spheres that were not missing were flashing, and the damaged spheres were extinguished.
After entering this place, Yang Tian swept his gaze over it and used an extremely fast speed to pass through this layer.
This layer was filled with stone pillars and semicircular spheres that were engraved with runes.
There were thousands of stone pillars, and nearly a thousand semicircular spheres.
A small portion of these spheres and stone pillars had been destroyed and were in a state of extinction.
On one of the stone walls, Yang Tian also discovered a hole with a diameter of ten meters.
To Yang Tian’s surprise, this hole had already been filled up. What was used to fill up the hole was a whole piece of bluestone, and the bluestone was also engraved with runes.
In fact, this layer had already been cleaned up, and it appeared very clean. Not even a stone fragment could be seen.
After seeing this layer, Yang Tian, under the guidance of the Little Azure Dragon, went to the next layer.
The twenty-seventh layer was an extremely vast space. From the top to the ground below, it was nearly a thousand meters high.
Standing on the rotating stone steps, Yang Tian looked down.
In this huge space, there were countless messy pipes that were four to five meters thick.
These pipes weren’t made of stone, but were made of silver-white metal. Most of them were in good condition. Some of them had been destroyed, revealing the dark red ones wrapped inside, it was unknown what material these energy threads were made of.
The smallest of these energy threads was as thick as an arm.
Countless silver-white pipes extended out from every part of the cabin arm, and finally converged onto a huge, 1,000 meter wide semicircle below.
This semicircle also had traces of damage on it, and it was similarly covered in runes.
From the looks of it, this place gave Yang Tian the impression that it was like an enormous ‘computer room’, and that enormous sphere was equivalent to the processor of this stone ship.
When they entered this level, the little azure dragon told Yang Tian that there was something strange about that enormous semi-circular sphere.
As for what was strange, Yang Tian was far away, and he hadn’t noticed it yet.
This huge space had not been cleaned by anyone. The ground below was filled with broken stones and some cultivators’corpses. Some silver-white tubes that had been cut off by sharp weapons were crisscrossed, revealing a large number of dark red rune energy lines.
Yang Tian immediately went down to the bottom through the stone spiral staircase and walked towards the huge sphere in the middle.
The ground was full of broken stones, and the cultivators’corpses were lying on the ground. These corpses were also dry corpses, but they were wearing the same style of silver-white armor.
As Yang Tian walked in the rubble, he would occasionally squat down to look at the dry corpses on both sides. To his disappointment, these dry corpses did not have any storage tools on them.
It seemed that these people were low-level soldiers guarding this level, so they naturally did not have any valuable storage tools on them.
As they got closer and closer to the huge round ball, Yang Tian’s heart became more and more nervous.
That huge round ball seemed to be in danger.
Not only Yang Tian, but even the little azure dragon had a solemn expression in its eyes.
When it was exploring this space earlier, little azure had the same feeling, so it didn’t dare to get close.
“Hehehe…”
When Yang Tian walked around a broken silver-white pipe that had fallen to the ground, there was a huffing sound in front of him.
Someone was there!
Yang Tian immediately stopped and widened his eyes, looking forward.
At this time, Yang Tian was still more than a hundred meters away from the giant sphere in the middle. The huffing sound was coming from the edge of the sphere.
“You have to be careful. There are spatial and temporal energy fluctuations ahead.”At this moment, the voice of the strange program sounded in Yang Tian’s mind.
As soon as the voice of the strange program sounded, a person with a strange appearance appeared.
When this person appeared, he was facing Yang Tian sideways, so his face could not be seen. The “Hehe”sound came from this person’s mouth.
When this person appeared, a weak energy fluctuation appeared.
As Yang Tian expected, there were still living people on this crippled ship.
“Go… leave… Don’t… come over…”
Yang Tian was curious and was about to walk over. The person who was facing him from the side spoke to him in a hoarse voice.
“Who are you?”Yang Tian asked curiously.
The person replied, “A… Half-dead… person… Don’t leave… me… less than… a hundred… steps.”
Yang Tian nodded. He really wanted to see this person’s face, so he circled left around the sphere in the middle.
With this person’s warning, Yang Tian did not dare to come within a hundred meters of him.
After circling for half a circle, Yang Tian could finally see the person’s face. When he saw the person’s face clearly, Yang Tian could not help but gape in shock.
Because the side of the person that was close to the sphere had already become a dried corpse, and the half that was close to the outside of the sphere was a young face.
As expected… a half-dead person!
