Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Chapter 460: Chapter 271: The Goddess’s Portable Divine Artifact_1
It seemed like everyone had forgotten. That new-born deity who contended with Shamara for the Faith Elemental Force at a place where the wind blew at night.

Originally, everyone thought it was in the Resting Abyss, so a bunch of people ran back to look for it, finding the Holy Kingdom, yet only found a Little Ghost and two petrified fellows.

So they continued searching, finding the village of the Elf Druid and the Divine Body that had sprouted there. However, there was no wind blowing at night in the village of the Elf Druid, thus that Divine Body also wasn’t the guy contending with Shamara for faith.

The wind started to blow here at night instead. Could it be possible that the divinity is here?

Ange didn’t explain, but went straight towards that reef.

“Hey, Sky People, where are you going? Come back, it’s too dangerous.” Alice shouted loudly, but she didn’t dare pursue him. She could only watch helplessly as Ange disappeared at the biggest entrance of the reef.

The reason Ange chose this entrance was due to the most bubbles bubbling up from here, gurgling, albeit very much like the air produced by the Magic Fish Tank made by magicians who keep fish.

“This material from the reef is very suitable for aquarium landscape. When I go back, I can dig some and sell it to the old magicians who raise fish.” Negris muttered.

“Okay.” Ange responded casually, slapped the rock and picked a few large fragments to put into the Temple of Rest.

It was originally just a random strike, after continuing to spring forward, but after a while, Ange suddenly circled back and looked at the reef’s fracture surface.

Negris took a sharp breath: “This reef is alive?”

Ange shook his head: “Petrification Crossbow.”

On the fracture surface, some texture that only appears in living organisms was revealed, but it had already petrified with marine organisms attached to the surface or decomposition. If it wasn’t for the accident breaking off a piece, it would be hard to discover these textures.

Could it be possible that this reef was once a giant organism?

This isn’t an impossible thing, the Sea People can actually create hundred-meter long marine creatures, it’s not rare that this reef is alive. If it belongs to a mollusk kind of creature, it can grow even larger.

However, Ange had to be vigilant, soul energy surged out from him and rapidly armorized over his body.

Once armorization was completed, Ange rushed into the bubbles.

The channels and holes on the reef continuously spewed out air bubbles, blowing away the water. As soon as Ange entered the channels, he immediately felt a strong rush of air blowing at him, blowing off the humidity on his body and pushing him backward.

Ange gently invoked magic power, guiding the wind to blow from the sides of his body while he pressed against the wind to move forward.

After entering, Negris became more certain. This was indeed the interior of a giant marine organism, and it was most probably a clam. The outer reef being its shell?

After entering the interior of the reef, they saw a huge space, with many unusually shaped stone columns supporting this space.

Countless holes were dug out from the inner walls with some debris in some holes, clearly indicating someone was living there.

Looking at the number of holes, at its peak, the interior of the reef could accommodate thousands, if not tens of thousands of people.

The lower half of the space was filled with water, with many air bubbles bubbling up and spewing out from all directions through the channels and holes. By tomorrow, when the wind stops, seawater would surge in and rise until it was higher than all the water channels before stopping.

The air inside the space would be compressed into the upper half and remain un-submerged. This un-submerged part was the main living area for the Sea People.

On this level, there was a statue of the Goddess of Redemption. Her hands were spread on her right shoulder as if pulling an invisible rope. Perhaps there used to be a rope, but now it might have rotten or fallen off. In any case, the rope was no longer visible.

The statue maintained such a dragging pose, staying put there.

Ange followed the direction of the invisible rope and jumped into the bubbling water, sinking down and soon saw a huge pearl.

“Impossible!” At the sight of the pearl, Negris already shouted: “It can’t be a pearl, how could organic matter last so long? It should have decayed a long time ago.”

The pearl is formed by the mollusk’s secretion of nacre, which encapsulates it. This pearl material degrades and decomposes easily, so there’s practically no chance of a thousand-year-old pearl existing.

Indeed, it wasn’t a pearl. Ange confronted the air bubbles, touched the pearl and found it to be a stone. Perhaps it was once a pearl, but it had long since petrified.

“Another Petrification Crossbow. It seems the Church of Light has done a lot of modifications here.” Negris commented.

The stone ball had a diameter of about seven or eight meters. Ange pushed it and with the buoyancy of the water, he was able to move it easily.

Negris threw his consciousness towards where the air was emerging and discovered another seven or eight meter large hole there. Could this stone ball have blocked that large hole?

Negris’s consciousness returned to the stone ball and he immediately found a golden rope lying on the ground underneath the stone ball. When they descended, they didn’t notice it because it was always suppressed by the stone ball.

“Ange, pick up that rope. Could it possibly be the item that the Statue of the Goddess of Redemption was dragging?” Negris wondered aloud.

Ange picked it up, glanced at it, didn’t notice anything special and packed it into the Temple of Rest.

“Wow, Ange, you’ve picked up a treasure. That’s the Rope of Redemption, a divine artifact of the Goddess of Redemption.” Negris was envious after checking the rope in the space.

How was this skeleton’s luck so good? Wherever he went, he could pick up treasures. Was he the bone of the Goddess of Fortune?

Ange tilted his head: “What’s its use?”

“I don’t know, but it should work for tying up people. However, it seems broken and has lost its divine power. Let me repair it later, and you can infuse some divine power into it. Gosh, I told you your luck is good. You bumped into a god like me who knows how to use the Gold-touch Stick. Ordinary people wouldn’t have been able to repair this divine artifact.” Negris boasted.

Ange nodded: “Can use it to tie up seaweed.”

“…”

After diving a round beneath the water, apart from the broken Rope of Redemption, there was no other harvest.

After confirming this point, Ange finally focused his attention on the large hole bubbling with air.

Judging from the airflow and duration of the large hole, this hole definitely leads to a huge space, or even another plane. Should they go inside and check?

After considering it for only two seconds, Ange made his decision. He pushed the stone ball to roll into the large hole, bead to bead, just fitting tightly into the hole, blocking the emerging air.

…

“What? The food stocks were burned?” Back at the Master Plane, Anthony jumped up from his chair after receiving this news.

He quickly closed his eyes, called out to Ange, but as expected, he got no response. Ange was furiously chasing the Fish Snake Water Creature who had burned his food.

Realizing that there’s no saving the situation, Antony took a decisive decision, “Get moving, get moving quickly. Immediately initiate the Phoenix Plan!”
