Chapter 213: The Skull of Silicon-based Life

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Amazon rainforest in northern South America stretched over eight countries. I fact, it was the largest, most diverse rainforest in the world, resulting in its being called the Lung of Earth.

A few motor boats were going down the river at the moment, entering the depths of the rainforest. This particular river was the Maranon River in Peru, which was the source of the Amazon River.

As Lu Zhiyu passed the valley of the Mountain Andes in a helicopter, he saw a wondrous multi-layered waterfall. This place was already in the depths of no man’s land, making it a paradise for animals and other strange species.

( Boxno vel. co m ) “Why do we have to get out of the helicopter here?” Lu Zhiyu asked?

“Because there is an unknown magnetic field that will interrupt helicopters and other transports, so we can’t access there, sir! Instead, we have prepared boats and paddle!” While Lu Zhiyu was listening the instructor’s reply, he was disembarking from the helicopter and boarding an awaiting boat.

There were seven to eight mercenaries already sitting in other boats behind theirs. As they made their way to the depths of the rainforest, Lu Zhiyu observed all kinds of animals, including colorful insects, snapping turtles with sharp teeth, and some other beasts that were drinking on the side of the river.

Lu Zhiyu also noticed that the beasts here were all bigger compared to the size of the ones outside of the rainforest. They were also much more aggressive. In fact, their wooden boat had already been attacked by giant crocodiles and bull sharks multiple times!

After they continued down the river, once they stopped their boats and were camping that night, they were then attacked by many giant otters! Luckily, they survived the attack! However, Lu Zhiyu soon began to realize that the closer they got to their destination, the more frequently they encountered the giant beasts!

Lu Zhiyu had been tracing the remains of the silicon-based lifeforms all along the way, as he was very curious about their origins especially. He also wanted to understand how they got their powers, as they were clearly not from Earth!

According to the information that was gathered by Nicholas Debye, the remains of silicon-based life forms were initially discovered by an ancient indigenous tribe, but with further research, he found that in ancient times, these remains were worshiped as gods by the indigenous people.

After even further research, they had discovered a temple that was hidden in the depths of the Amazon rainforest, which was supposedly right around this area...

Bling!

A strange life force field and wave resonance immediately spread out and covered a large area of the forest. Even though neither the instructor nor the mercenaries noticed it, Lu Zhiyu clearly felt it.

“The place you were talking about, is it in this direction?” Lu Zhiyu, who was wearing a full camouflage suit, turned around and asked the instructor.

The instructor looked amazed. “Yes, how did you know?”

They soon arrived at the ancient temple, which was covered in green vines and moss. But, when they lightly brushed the vines away, they could see the ancient marks on the temple.

Lu Zhiyu scanned the temple with his mind power and instantly had an image of its 3D structure in his head. He could see that this temple was about thirty meters tall, but that twenty meters of it were buried underground. Moreover, all of its entrances were blocked by collapsed walls or were buried in the ground.

The instructor quickly said, “This is it. However, if we are going to dig into this place, we might need more manpower.”

Lu Zhiyu quickly responded, “No need!”

There was no way Lu Zhiyu was patient enough to wait for the slow process of digging. So, he put up his hands and the ground immediately started to wiggle.

Then, the surrounding soils gathered at his feet and the ground was slowly elevated! The temple that was buried underground was slowly being raised up!

“Oh my God, what’s happening?” The instructor was panicking.

“Wow, are you a wizard?” When the mercenaries noticed what Lu Zhiyu was doing, they were so shocked, they had their mouths open!

“This is a supernatural power! It’s so cool! You’re like a mutant!” One black guy was cheering and shouting like crazy.

The miles of soil that had been covering the temple were lifted up by Lu Zhiyu by brute force, and finally, after being buried for a thousand years, the temple was revealed once again! The huge temple was made of stone, and there were giant statues, a stone gate, and some broken stone pillars at its main entrance.

The moment Lu Zhiyu lifted the temple up, he felt that there was a change in the temple. All of a sudden, as a strong power condensed within it, a strong wave came out of the temple, causing changes to the magnetic field of the area.

“This is not good!” Lu Zhiyu wasn’t expecting that his being inside the temple with his consciousness had disturbed it. Then, his digging it up by brute force had caused its immediate retaliation!

A ray of intense plasma suddenly burst out of the temple, evaporating everything in its path with intense energy and light. Lu Zhiyu immediately released his mind power force field, tightly blocking the plasma attack. Once the plasma beam struck on his shield, the whole world turned white, as the particles of the beam had struck the sky like fireworks.

Lu Zhiyu had spread himself into the form of the Lord of Dreams, surrounding the whole area. Then, he quickly noticed that there was a metallic skull looking in his direction on the fifteen-layered huge alter, which was in the core of the temple.

“I got you!” Lu Zhiyu quickly zoomed through the many layers of walls.

He arrived at the altar and quickly grabbed the metallic skull. He then trapped the skull within his mind power force field.

Meanwhile, the mercenaries and the instructor were still outside, surrounded by melted earth that had been scorched by the heat. There was also a giant fissure that had emerged from within the depths of the temple.

The ground still had black smoke oozing out of it. In fact, nearly everything had been ruined by that plasma beam! This scene sent a chill down everyone’s spines as they all stood still and were shivering nonstop.
