Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’

Chapter 1754 - 1402: Desolation

Hearing Lan Xi’s words, Fendi and the others gradually calmed down, though their faces still showed uncontrollable joy.

Lan Xi observed for a moment, then spoke to the crowd still immersed in shock and joy.

"This should be the Divine Race’s cultivation base; under normal circumstances, such a large sea of flowers wouldn’t appear."

"That’s right, this is clearly artificially cultivated."

Fendi agreed and said.

"So we need to be careful, there might be mechanisms and traps here."

Lan Xi said worriedly.

Hearing this, Fendi and the others completely calmed down.

"So what should we do now?"

"First, don’t touch these Magic Moon Flowers. Let’s observe and see if there are any peculiarities."

Lan Xi pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Alright!"

Fendi and the others replied in agreement.

They began to cautiously approach the sea of flowers, and at this moment, Fendi remarked emotionally.

"Lan Xi, how many Magic Moon Flowers do you think there are in this sea of flowers?"

"I estimated it a bit, and there are at least a million. Judging by their appearance, they all seem mature. If these Magic Moon Flowers were truly mass-produced into medicine, it would be a revolutionary harvest."

Lan Xi spoke, suppressing her excitement.

"How much would they be worth?"

Zhao Qian couldn’t help but ask.

"Priceless! It’s not something money can measure. If nothing unexpected happens, these Magic Moon Flowers will become the Federation’s lifeline."

Lan Xi suppressed her trembling heart and said.

"If that’s the case, then we must survive and bring the news back to the Federation."

Fendi said with great determination.

"Indeed, even if it costs us our lives."

Zhao Qian and the others declared one after another.

"Don’t say such discouraging things, we can all leave here alive."

Lan Xi encouraged everyone.

"Lan Xi is right. Let’s not think about that now; we should first inspect the surroundings."

Fendi said to everyone.

"Okay!"

Then Lan Xi and the others spread out and cautiously inspected the edges of the sea of flowers.

They found nothing special after half a day.

"Seems like there’s nothing wrong."

Zhou Mu spoke up.

At that moment, Burnji walked over and said, "I found something."

"What did you find?"

Lan Xi and the others all looked at Burnji.

"I climbed to a higher area and discovered something unusual at the center of the sea of flowers; there seems to be something there."

Burnji explained his discovery to Lan Xi and the others.

"You all wait here for a moment, I’ll go in and take a look."

Lan Xi said, lifting her head.

"Wouldn’t that be too risky?"

Fendi hesitated and said in concern.

"It’s a bit rash, but if we don’t check it out, we can’t be at ease, especially with so many Magic Moon Flowers at stake."

Lan Xi shook her head and replied.

"Then be careful."

Fendi nodded and agreed.

"Hmm."

Without a trace of hesitation, Lan Xi gently walked into the sea of flowers, cautiously making her way to the center.

She carefully avoided stepping on any Magic Moon Flowers, each being extremely precious.

After a long time, Lan Xi reached the center of the sea of flowers.

She quickly saw the anomaly Burnji mentioned: at the center, a pair of skeletons intertwined, embracing each other.

Lan Xi recognized at once that this was a pair of lovers who embraced in the face of death.

This sight deeply shocked Lan Xi.

She then gently walked over, but as soon as she got close, the air subtly rippled.

Instantly, the lovers’ skeletons turned to dust and scattered.

In their midst on the ground, a particularly vibrant Magic Moon Flower, exuding a rich blue halo and notably larger in size, caught Lan Xi’s eye.

Lan Xi immediately recognized that this Magic Moon Flower must be the Mother Flower.

Seeing this scene, Lan Xi roughly guessed that the lovers were likely guarding this Magic Moon Flower.

This scene made Lan Xi deeply envious, her eyes instinctively moistening.

Then Lan Xi paused, bowed deeply.

Shortly after, Lan Xi walked out from the sea of flowers.

Fendi and the others hurriedly came up to her, asking worriedly.

"Lan Xi, are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

Lan Xi shook her head.

"What was at the center of the sea of flowers?"

Fendi and the others asked curiously afterward.

"A pile of skeletons, should be personnel from the cultivation."

Lan Xi explained with a slight smile.

"That’s good. So, what should we do now?"

Zhou Mu breathed a sigh of relief but asked somewhat conflicted.

Lan Xi thought for a moment and then said, "How about this: you use the limited tools to survey these Magic Moon Flowers. I’ll explore around and see if there’s anything else to discover."

"Alright!"

Fendi and the others nodded in agreement.

Zhou Mu and the others then crouched down excitedly, examining the Magic Moon Flowers before them.

Lan Xi, however, continued along the edge of the sea of flowers, exploring further; in the distance, she noticed another passageway and wondered where it led.

She was somewhat curious about what other secrets this relic might hold.

A moment later, Lan Xi reached the entrance of the passage, and suddenly stopped.

She noticed some crude carvings etched on the stone wall beside the passage entrance.

Compared to the previously seen vibrant and exquisitely crafted images, these carvings clearly weren’t made by professionals at the time of construction but seemed to be added later.

With this thought in mind, Lan Xi carefully examined the carvings on the stone wall.

The stone wall depicted a group of people.

They were kneeling to a god, appearing to receive divine guidance.

Then they arrived on a crimson planet.

Lan Xi then saw countless grotesque monster depictions.

Numerous warriors battled fiercely with them.

Soon after, the warriors began to kill each other.

At that point, a man and a woman appeared to receive guidance and started traveling across mountains and valleys to reach a desolate area.

They established a base there and began research.

Eventually, they developed a seed of hope.

But before the seed could sprout, a mutation occurred.

The following images were blurred and unclear, making it impossible to tell what happened.

All that was known was that in the end, the man and woman sowed the seed of hope and ultimately embraced to protect it.

...

Lost in thought, Lan Xi became engrossed in the carvings.

At that moment, a gentle voice called her back.

"Lan Xi?"

Lan Xi snapped back to reality and turned her head.

Fendi stood behind her somehow, speaking to Lan Xi.

"What’s wrong with you? Have you been standing here all this time?"

"No, nothing, just caught up in the carvings for a moment. Why are you here?"

"I was a bit worried about you, so I came over to see how you’re doing over here. No need to worry about the sea of flowers; Zhou Mu and the others are surveying, should be fine."

Fendi explained.

"Hmm, I know."

Lan Xi nodded in response.

"By the way, have you discovered anything?"

Fendi casually asked Lan Xi.

"Nothing special, just these carvings. They seem a bit melancholic. It feels like the carvings were left by the lovers from the sea of flowers, using the simplest images to show us everything from the past."

Lan Xi said with some emotion, staring at the carvings.

After hearing this, Fendi also began to carefully observe the carvings.

She studied them for a long time, her brow furrowed, and said.

"It seems hastily carved; many images are hard to understand."

"Hmm."

Lan Xi nodded in agreement.
