Chapter 1495 Discovery Under the Cube
There were many places where the Cube appeared. Most of them were places where large numbers of humans gathered. There were also some ancient cities or dimensional zones that might have the Cubes appear.
Zhou Wen didnt find it surprising that Guide Ancient City had a Cube, but with the citys continuous outflow of population, it surprised him that the Cube would appear outside a dimensional zone. We also found it odd in the past. Ive also read reports about the Cube. The Cubes in other cities appear in the center of cities where humans gather. However, even back then, Guide Citys Cube was located in the suburbs. There werent many people there, nor were there any dimensional zones. Theres no one there now. I wonder why the Cube appeared there, Yu Qiubai said.
Where is it? Zhou Wen felt that the location of the Cube definitely wasnt for no reason. Perhaps there was something there that hadnt been discovered.
Yu Qiubai took out a map and gave Zhou Wen directions.
It wasnt far from Ancient City. It used to be the suburbs of Guide City, a place where crops were planted.
It was once a place where lots of wheat was planted, but it had long been abandoned. There were weeds everywhere, almost as tall as a person.
This place didnt have any dimensional zones. It looked like a barren land.
A huge Cube stood in the middle of the weeds. From afar, one could see the lit Cubes screen. On it was the s.h.i.+mmering orange-red planet.
This should be a star, right? Zhou Wen looked at it for a while and was roughly certain that it was a star that resembled the sun, not a planet like Earth.
Stars emitted a large amount of light and heat. It was almost impossible for creatures to survive on it.
The sun had a surface temperature that could reach 5,500C. Its interior temperature was higher beyond imagination. Even a Calamity-grade creature couldnt withstand the high temperature inside.
If the dimensional zone is on that planet, the dimensional zone this time will probably be much more difficult than Venus. Zhou Wen was roughly certain that it wasnt the sun, so he heaved a sigh of relief.
If it wasnt a planet in the Solar System, the impact on Earth would be much smaller.
The scene on the Cube didnt move, nor was there anything interesting to watch. Zhou Wen circled the Cube and used Truth Listener to scan the nearby area, hoping to figure out what was different about it.
Strange, there arent any special Essence Energy fluctuations here, nor are there any dimensional zones. However, this isnt a place where humans gather. Why would the Cube be here? Zhou Wen plucked some weeds and carefully observed them.
Although the weeds here had mutated due to the environment, they didnt exceed the normal range of mutation. They hadnt evolved into dimensional creatures.
Such mutations were everywhere in the world. There was nothing special about them.
There must be a reason for the Cubes appearance here. Unfortunately, the Earth Elemental Beast has already been killed by Perfect Sword Immortal. Otherwise, I might discover something if I let the Earth Elemental Beast venture deep underground. Zhou Wen was somewhat depressed as he summoned Tyrant Behemoth who was also good at digging.
After Tyrant Behemoth came out, it followed Zhou Wens order and lowered its head to burrow into the ground. The strange horn on its head spun like a drill, drilling a huge hole through the weeds.
Tyrant Behemoth failed to discover any underground dimensional zones despite burrowing a few hundred meters. Just as Zhou Wen was feeling disappointed, he saw the baby bear run to a gra.s.s patch near the Cube. It crouched down and dug something with its front paws.
Zhou Wen walked over curiously and saw the baby bears front paws quickly dig open a huge hole. Whats that? Zhou Wen realized that the baby bear had really dug out something.
He still couldnt tell what it was. It looked yellowish-brown with some fine patterns on it. It wasnt gold, jade, or stone.
The baby bears actions became very gentle. It used its paws to remove the soil on it, allowing the thing to gradually appear. Eh This is a hive Zhou Wen finally saw what it was.
It was a hive resembling a lotus with a diameter of more than fifty centimeters. The baby bear tore open the hive with its paws, and honey flowed out.
The baby bear licked the honey and sucked quite a bit. It even gestured for Zhou Wen to eat the honey with it.
Zhou Wen dabbed a little with his finger and tasted it. It was really sweet honey.
Strange, this hive should be on a tree. The hive of the Scoliidae isnt like that. Why would this hive appear underground? Zhou Wen called Tyrant Behemoth over and got it to continue digging in the pit dug by the baby
bear.
The baby bear made another discovery after a short dig. However, this time, it wasnt a hive, but some rotting bronze tools.
As most of them had already rotted, from the remnant parts, they were likely something similar to a tripod cauldron.
Tyrant Behemoth damaged many bronze tools while digging due to its potent strength, making it even more difficult for Zhou Wen to identify them. Therefore, Zhou Wen decided not to let it dig any further and dug with his hands.
Soon, Zhou Wen dug out some gray pottery and some jade-like decorations. Although Zhou Wen didnt know what the decorations were for, he could tell from the jades texture that they were very inferior jade. These things look like antiques, but antiques arent of much value to this era. Zhou Wens understanding of history was limited. He didnt know what era these things came from, so he guessed that they were likely from the Shang dynasty.
Zhou Wen continued digging and dug out some strange items. Most of them were gray pottery and bronze. Although there were other things, most of them had rotted due to the pa.s.sage of time.
As he dug, Zhou Wens eyes suddenly lit up. Beneath his fingers, a hard object appeared. It looked like jade, but upon careful inspection, he realized that it was actually bone.
What creature do these bones belong to? Zhou Wen slowly wiped the soil from the bones. Soon, he realized that the bones were connected. They didnt look like ordinary bones. Bones would scatter after the flesh rotted.
The bones beneath were connected, but the flesh was long gone. For some reason, the bones hadnt split apart. They had remained firmly stuck together.
When Zhou Wen dug out the entire skeleton, he realized that it was the skeleton of a giant bird. Furthermore, it was complete without any missing bones.
