Li Xiaoyu's initial experint to test the height of the Pyramid had once triggered an alarm.
When leaving the Pyramid, Song Que also suffered from the headache of the alarm, but he hadn't expected Tang Xian to choose to jump directly from the aircraft.
Tang Xian saw the torn wings of Zhuo He and, within the transparency of sapphire, spotted a ring hidden inside a feather.
"Transform into human shape."
Zhuo He thought to itself that it was in trouble; the ring could not be kept safe. But it didn't dare to disobey Tang Xian's command.
Even though the wings had detached from its body, when Zhuo He transford into human shape, the severed wings beca two arms.
Tang Xian removed the ring from his right index finger.
Then he put the ring on his own little finger.
[Unable to match!]
The mont the ring was put on, a ssage suddenly popped up in Tang Xian's consciousness.
Tang Xian was sowhat surprised and tried a few more tis on different fingers.
[Unable to match!]
[Unable to match!]
...
All attempts were unsuccessful.
Tang Xian frowned.
"Indeed, there seem to be so secrets in this ring, but it looks like I've beco the peculiar one."
Unaccepted by the Order, rejected by all beasts. The only clue, Eden, had been eradicated. Tang Xian wryly smiled.
This thought made him uncomfortable, but suddenly he had an interesting idea: what revelation would Song Que get if he wore this ring?
Tang Xian handed the ring to Qing Jiuyu and said,
"Want to give it a try?"
Qing Jiuyu and Tang Feiji couldn't understand the language of the crystal crane and didn't understand what Tang Xian was talking about.
However, she naturally liked shiny things and thought the ring was nice, so she put it on her finger.
The mont the ring was put on, Qing Jiuyu showed a hint of surprise. Her eyes moved as if a multitude of scenes had suddenly appeared.
Tang Xian looked at Qing Jiuyu and said,
"Is there anything unusual?"
"It's truly magical... I see many ssages that I don't understand in my vision... various matrices..."
Tang Xian suddenly rembered that Qing Jiuyu, Bai Mansheng, Tang Feiji, although they could speak his language, they couldn't read the script.
Which ant that the Order's ring was made for humans.
"Anything else?"
"There's a voice. It's speaking in a very monotone manner and generally telling there's another fortress in this world. As one favored by fate, I must find the location of that fortress."
Tang Xian froze, then suddenly realized.
Indeed, just as the court has the Sacred Mountain.
It seed that the Order also had a similar chanism in place.
More and more truths surfaced.
Over two hundred Pyramids, perhaps they were independent entities, but these independents served a whole.
He now believed that the Order indeed consisted of chanical life forms.
Because all this felt like so vast network. Or perhaps a super civilization of an advanced intelligent species?
"I got it wrong before; the Order isn't at the very top of these fortresses, it only opens a portion of its authority to the lords of these fortresses."
"But it seems that the Order doesn't allow humans to go out in search of the fortress's location, perhaps there are certain conditions restricting this."
"If nothing else, it should be the number of chanical bodies, currently, only one among the thirty-nine fortresses has the Trial Knights."
Tang Xian's brain whirred.
He quickly outlined a plan about the Order's intentions.
This was a force nearly wiped out, but it was reviving itself with so unimaginable thod.
Humans would gradually beco dependent on chanical bodies, but eventually, once the chanical bodies were powerful enough to easily annihilate humans, they would be betrayed by them.
This was naturally an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory, but Tang Xian couldn't bypass this thought.
At this mont, Zhuo He suddenly curled up in agony.
Blood seeped from its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, looking horrifying beyond asure.
Tang Xian said,
"It seems the poison is taking effect."
[Save !]
"Okay."
Tang Xian stood up and said, "Tang Feiji, kill it."
"You are a cunning human." Tang Feiji wasn't surprised by Tang Xian's order.
Zhuo He's blood-red eyes widened and it said,
[You promised !]
"I've thought about it, and I'm willing to save you, but I can't save you, you will die painfully because, unfortunately, there's no antidote for the plague poison."
"So, to lessen your suffering, I have to sadly ask my friend to kill you. Go ahead, Tang Feiji."
Tang Feiji once again broke the enemy's neck.
Zhuo He died, gazing at Tang Xian with its eyes wide open until its last breath.
Qing Jiuyu wasn't inherently kind-hearted. She watched Tang Xian and beca convinced of one thing.
Tang Xian could risk his life for his friends, and it was a blessing to be his friend.
On the other hand, being his enemy was an unfortunate affair.
The orange light flickered in Tang Feiji's eyes.
Red veins erged on his neck, arms, and forehead.
He seed to be in pain too, but such pain lasted less than about ten seconds before everything vanished.
"It seems the Dragon Origin Blood Oath has disappeared?" Tang Xian speculated.
After breathing heavily for a while, Tang Feiji finally ca to his senses:
"I'm free, you cunning human."
"Congratulations, you can go anyti."
Tang Xian's tone seed sincere.
Even though Tang Feiji had realized over the past few days that this human was a skilled actor, at this mont it seed that Tang Xian genuinely agreed to let him go.
Tang Feiji was indecisive.
"Or you could continue to follow for a while, until you want to leave? During this process, I'll provide food, and you'll protect . Deal?"
