Chapter 97 - 80: Innate Treasure Land (Part 2)

The outside world.

A few returning tribespeople saw his excited expression, and someone couldn’t help but ask, "Captain, what’s happening with you?"

Currently, several outstanding strong individuals in the Sacrificial Fire Tribe temporarily inherited the title of the former tribe’s hunting team, referring to them as captains, but they haven’t made any changes yet.

"It’s a secret."

Qi Ze didn’t reveal it directly, giving a hearty laugh, "All I can say is, it’s a great thing."

"Let’s go, we’re setting out."

"Did Lord Sacrificial Spirit not agree?"

A voice of inquiry arose.

"Lord Sacrificial Spirit has their own arrangements, let’s just do what we need to do."

"Set off."

The others were at a loss, but their emotions were quickly infected by this young and outstanding captain, and the atmosphere became lively.

Inside the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Qin Jin withdrew his spiritual power.

The cockpit door opened, but he didn’t get down. He severed his spiritual connection with the Deep Driller and took out the [Mountains and Rivers] from in front of him.

The soft frame enveloped this treasure, surrounded by wish power. The subtle glow was hidden, making it look comparatively ordinary, lacking its previous divine aspect.

"If I could obtain more fragments of this vessel, I could verify some hypotheses."

Qi Ze described that treasure-filled land with a treasure skill barrier, but in Qin Jin’s view, it was clearly an array set up by someone long ago, a type of confinement.

It is very likely that because of the passage of time and the consumption of power, it has resurfaced.

The possibility of an ancient civilization that practiced cultivation once existing in the Great Wilderness is gradually increasing.

Formerly, with his temperament, he would have set out immediately.

But now, his new mecha is about to be built. Qin Jin has already made plans and doesn’t have enough time to explore, so he has to temporarily suppress his expectations.

The breakthrough he mentioned is naturally the groundwork laid beforehand.

His thoughts flickered.

"The livery of the new mecha can continue to focus on black and red hues."

"Changes in form are inevitable; focus on color step by step."

"If next time the ’Lord Sacrificial Spirit’ walks out of the Sacrificial Spirit Hall in white, it might scare the entire Sacrificial Fire Tribe."

With the Mountains and Rivers kept close, Qin Jin leaped off the mecha and approached the Python Bone, using spiritual power to sense it and select parts from within.

The level of the Three-headed Exotic Python is too high. Considering the driving needs of the new mecha, it’s impossible to use it as the main material; they can only try to add parts in crafting certain components.

As he selected, Qin Jin contemplated other matters.

He was thinking about Ding Yang.

Ding Yang, with his clear fire attribute special constitution, was the reason he could sense that treasure land.

Taking him as an example, it’s certain that there are still people with such extraordinary talents in the Great Wilderness, but previously, the Desolate People did not cultivate their spirit and couldn’t detect anomalies in their physique.

This kind of extraordinarily gifted individuals often have outstanding talents and can awaken treasure skills, with their own changes attributed to their treasure skill, without truly unleashing their potential.

"Once everything is settled, we can conduct a large-scale screening to see if there are others like this in the tribe."

After selecting a few giant bones from the Python Bone, Qin Jin’s gaze turned to the large eye. After a moment’s hesitation, he put one into the Mountains and Rivers as well.

Looking back, Qin Jin glanced at the Deep Driller, with a rueful look in his eyes.

As his first [mecha], the Deep Driller had served tirelessly as well.

But this mining machine indeed can no longer keep up with the version.

"In the future, a dedicated mecha collection room can be built to store the mechas I’ve piloted."

"So..."

He relaxed at the thought, a smile appearing as he linked some thoughts in his mind.

"No one would guess that the breakthrough of the Sacrificial Spirit of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe in the Great Wilderness is actually... an exoskeleton change."

"Some creatures indeed become stronger after shedding their skin; it’s quite reasonable."

The Deep Driller was stored along with the Mountains and Rivers, and Qin Jin’s figure disappeared from the hall.

...

A few days later.

The central region of Xinyang District.

In a spacious standalone villa.

Several figures were busying themselves.

This place serves as the setup residence for Qin Jin’s [Development Consultant] status.

After a few days, it has already been organized internally.

The future of Xinyang District might be gradually dismantled and reconstructed into a major city fitting Gaia Planet, but until Qin Jin departs the Mining Star for the top academy in the Star System, this will be his abode.

In the distance, Chu Tianyi and Yan Gaoyuan were conversing.

Chu Tianyi’s subordinates were assisting, moving various pieces of furniture into the villa.

On the other side of the courtyard, Qin Jin stood at the forefront, and Yan Yue peeked her little head out from behind him, her voice laced with deep shock, "Qin Jin, is this the cat you mentioned?!"

At the front.

The Saber-toothed Tiger lay docilely on the ground, its tiger paws tucked in, blinking its eyes innocently.

"Isn’t a tiger just a big cat?"

Qin Jin’s tone was calm, "Don’t underestimate it, it performed great deeds. Even though it proved to be unnecessary afterward, it’s still impressive."

"I wouldn’t belittle it." Yan Yue cautiously stepped out from behind Qin Jin and, seeing the Saber-toothed Tiger remain very docile, gained some courage and said quickly, "It’s so big, how could I underestimate it?"

"This is an authentic extraordinary creature." Qin Jin said gently, "In the future, once it grows stronger, it might learn to master a shrinking-type ability, and then it could directly be kept as a Star Cat, couldn’t it?"

"Vision needs to reach far; the Star Cats currently popular in the Star Sea are all ornamental small pets. How could there be a Thunder Cat that can fight?"

"Alright then."

Yan Yue rolled her eyes slightly.

Seeing this, Qin Jin gave a calm smile, "This fellow won’t be kept here. Given its nature, it’s more suited to survive in the wild. I’ve already arranged a place for it."
