Chapter 126: 【126】What We Saw on Mars

Space ability users should be free to do as they please, traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.

Ever since Yu Xian experienced what true freedom was, his style of doing things became increasingly unrestrained; he went wherever he wanted.

After school.

Solar System, Mars.

A dust storm was raging across the land; the sand and rocks whipped up by the strong winds had the power of bullets and possessed extremely strong lethality.

Yu Xian sat on a rock, contemplating life, as countless sand and rocks flew towards him, but they were all blocked by his Dragon Scales, making ding-dong sounds.

He looked at the mine pit nearby, which was clearly artificially dug, and let out a long sigh.

As expected, he was still too naive.

At least on planets within the Solar System, easily found gold and white silver mines had long been dug up by other transcendent beings.

Contemporary space-type transcendent beings were indeed rare, but if you counted all space-type transcendent beings from ancient times to the present, the number was actually not too small.

A conservative estimate would be around three to four thousand people.

Perhaps hundreds of years ago, transcendent beings had already successively gone to surrounding planets to dig for gold and white silver; generation after generation, by the time it was Yu Xian's turn, these planets were left with only pockmarked mine pits.

Perhaps there were still some stragglers somewhere on the planet.

But just like finding a needle in a haystack, finding the gold hidden deeper down was destined to waste a lot of time.

If Yu Xian were really short on money, he would probably grit his teeth and do it, but the problem was he wasn't actually short on money; this was completely a hare-brained idea he came up with on a whim.

It was a three-minute passion; after the impulse passed, he lost interest.

Therefore, he definitely wouldn't waste time on boring and tedious searching.

Just then, a clear human bone was blown over by the wind, hitting his Dragon Scales and turning into powder.

While countless transcendent beings were still cooped up on Earth, they probably never imagined that on faraway Mars, people had once fought fiercely, and the bodies of the dead were forever left on Mars.

There were actually quite a few such skeletons; their flesh and blood had been eroded and dissolved by the wind and sand, but the bones of some physical enhancement transcendent beings were even harder than diamonds, so they remained and were gradually scattered across various places by the storms on Mars.

"Forget it, going home!"

Yu Xian grabbed a handful of Martian soil, then stood up and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the mine pit not far away; the sound was long and melodious, somewhat like a musical instrument, but also like the sound made by some creature with a very long throat.

The spatial bubble at Yu Xian's fingertip stopped expanding; he looked at the black, deep, and seemingly endless mine pit not far away and suddenly felt immense curiosity.

Could there be creatures in the mine pit?

He had already seen Abyssal Demons and otherworldly Zombies, but he had truly never seen alien creatures.

Although strictly speaking, Abyssal Demons and otherworldly Zombies were both considered alien creatures, they were ultimately beings from outside this world, while the creatures hidden inside the mine pit were very likely native alien creatures!

As the saying goes, skill makes one bold.

How bold a person is depends on how high their combat power is.

Now, Yu Xian was no longer the timid coward he was before; with the double protection of Dragon Shield and the Cloak of Deception, his courage was very great, otherwise, he wouldn't have run to Mars alone to be a gold digger.

His body was covered by red light, and he instantly appeared at the edge of the mine pit.

This mine pit was very special, as if a huge drill had bored straight down from the ground, so the hole went straight down and was bottomless.

Yu Xian tilted his ear to listen; strange sounds intermittently came from the pit, and after a while, the sounds completely stopped, leaving only the whistling wind.

On Mars, his Super Olfactory Sense was useless, so a bubble at his fingertip quickly grew an eyeball, which then rapidly flew into the mine pit under his control.

The Thousand Eyes and Myriad Views came with night vision ability and could see through most illusions.

Images from the mine pit quickly appeared in Yu Xian's mind; the pit was indeed vertical, but when it reached a depth of about two thousand meters, many passages about two meters in diameter appeared around the walls.

He controlled the eyeball bubble to enter one of the passages, but suddenly the bubble was attacked by an unknown creature; he only saw a black shadow flash in his mind, and then the picture went black.

"There is something indeed, but it doesn't seem like a normal creature."

Yu Xian recalled the last image he saw and thought with great certainty.

The black shadow was very thin, and its movement during the attack was Z-shaped, possessing a beauty unique to artificial creatures.

He suspected it was a magical creation or some kind of alchemical creation left behind by transcendent beings who had arrived on Mars before, and because its Master had died, it was left on Mars forever.

Although somewhat disappointed that the creature in the pit was not a true native alien creature.

However, Yu Xian still decided to investigate and see what kind of thing the creature hidden inside was; if it was interesting enough or powerful enough, taming it with Final Source Blood would also be a good option.

It's worth mentioning that the two Perfect Creatures following him had both died.

The Dragon-shaped Perfect Creature was killed by the Great Serpent; at that time, he was in a hurry to escape with Zhang Shou, so he only gave Little Vulture, who was following behind, a random retreat command.

As a result, after everything settled, Little Vulture never returned.

Yu Xian later tried to contact Little Vulture through his Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, but indeed could not reach it, so it could be concluded that it had a high probability of being dead.

"One, two, three, let's go!"

Just then, Yu Xian jumped directly into the pit, rapidly falling inside the hole.

Eyeball bubbles quickly surrounded him, providing him with a panoramic view; honestly, at this moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: it would be great if he could awaken the Great Serpent's Si Nan Venom Fire in the future.

If he awakened the Si Nan Venom Fire, the eyeball bubbles could shoot out the kind of green beam the Great Serpent had shot out before; that thing's power was quite astonishing, the Dragon-shaped Perfect Creature's defense was definitely not weak, but it was still split in two by the Si Nan Venom Fire.

Unfortunately, the Great Serpent's skill tree required not only energy but also emotions, making the difficulty of awakening skills too high.

Moreover, the Great Serpent's skill tree was also full of question marks; awakening skills was completely random, not his own choice, so the difficulty of obtaining the Si Nan Venom Fire was even greater than awakening the Pangu Great Strength Divine Power.

Currently, his focus was still on lighting up the series of basic abilities of the Perfect Creature; only after lighting up all the basic abilities would he consider what abilities to light up next.

"There's a sound!"

When he had fallen to about five hundred meters, Yu Xian heard strange sounds coming from below again.

He immediately wrapped himself in a spatial bubble, and the next moment, he accelerated sharply, falling downwards at a faster speed.

In a moment, he saw a group of beetles resembling black melon seeds attacking a snake with no eyes and a body completely covered in hard shell; the snake opened its mouth and continuously attacked the beetles, but its body was covered in them, its angry roars were useless, and finally, the hard shell on its back was torn open, and its body was hollowed out by the beetles in an instant.

"Native creatures of Mars?"

Yu Xian watched the beetles drill into one of the small holes and disappear in a flash, thinking with surprise.

He stopped in front of the hard shell left after the snake was eaten, used a palm bubble to pick up the shell and looked at it, then took out his phone to take a picture and sent it to Bat, asking: "I found life forms on Mars, aren't you shocked?"

"The internal nature magazine of Kirin has long recorded related reports, it seems to be content from ninety years ago, this is a mutated version of the Mineral Eating Snake, it should be a species brought to Mars by ancient people more than six hundred years ago and reproduced here," Bat quickly replied.

After reading Bat's reply, Yu Xian directly closed Bat's page.

Then he opened Zhang Shou's contact page, sent the photo to Zhang Shou, and asked: "I found life forms on Mars, aren't you shocked?"

"Holy shit, you've already run off to Mars? Take me with you!" Zhang Shou immediately replied.

Yu Xian looked at Zhang Shou's reply, and a faint smile finally appeared on his face; indeed, the emotional value provided by his best friend was higher, it was better not to contact that guy Bat when there was nothing going on.
