Chapter 2373 Decrypting Broken Tools
Everyone looked at Daoist Chu wondering what the man had found.
"The information is incomplete, but it seems to be a report about the camp as well as the progress on the 'experiments'." Daoist Chu said before showing them the extracted information through a jade slip.
~SHUA~
Everyone probed the jade slip and quickly got the details.
The Yin Nascent Soul Maggot that they had faced were called as experiments which suited them as they were exactly that. The report talked about the growth of the experiment as well as any other disturbances they had noticed.
The idol that Lin Mu checked, instead talked about 'feeding cycles' as well as 'sleep cycles'.
But no details about what these were exactly was given as that information was simply missing. "Feeding cycles and sleep cycles... Looks like the Yin Nascent Soul Maggot are in a state of dormancy and only wake up when its time to feed." Lin Mu said after having read that.
"That would make sense since we haven't seen any of the Yin Nascent Soul Maggot wandering around so far. They might also be moving underground which makes it harder to find them." Ziran spoke up.
"But considering the sheer amount of credits they have given so far... its clear that they're consuming a massive amount of Chimeric Beasts. Just the one we killed right now gave over four hundred million credits." Crown Prince Feng Shun started to analyze. "I doubt it would have eaten four Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm Chimeric Beasts, so it is probably eating lower ranked chimeric beasts primarily." "That does make sense." Ziran nodded. "Also... doesn't it feel like the number of Chimeric Beasts is certainly a bit lower. Not too much, but at least a handful of percent lower." He added.
With all this in mind, they ended up staying at the base for the time being, while Lin Mu and Daoist Chu focused on decrypting the badge.
Thankfully, with their combined efforts, they managed to finally decrypt it after two months. The solution for the decryption ended up being a bit of the extracted Withering Dao energy that Xiao Yin gathered.
Adding that as the 'decryption key' seemingly showed them the real positions of the data nodes and the two formation masters didn't spend long after that to fully unravel it.
"So what is that badge, exactly?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked the question that everyone had on their minds.
They had been waiting for this for a long time and now they wanted to know it.
"It's an identity token as well as a communication token." Lin Mu said, his brows tensed. "And?" Ziran could tell that there was a lot more wrong with it than had been shown.
"For some reason... these token is... able to bypass the limits of the Spatial Plane..." Daoist Chu said, feeling quite shocked himself.
"Wait... do you mean, they can communicate to people in the Rust Sky world!?" Crown Princess Shang asked in shock.
"Indeed." Lin Mu confirmed it. "How's that even possible?" Qiao De asked. "This is a Celestial's treasure." "I can't exactly tell as we'll need to find a second token like this to figure out where its communicating from. But it seems like there is an old 'anchor' here." Lin Mu replied to the best of his capability. "This old 'anchor' has probably existed before the Celestial even turned this bridge plane into his treasure." He explained.
Hearing that the others couldn't help but be shocked for it meant that Yao Changying and the Black Fin Island members possibly had direct access to the plane!
