Chapter 576 - Crystal Skull

Walking in the quiet corridor of the museum, Wang Teng’s footsteps could be heard loudly.

The young lady called Alais followed behind him with light footsteps. She didn’t make a single sound. She was like a beautiful ghost.

Wang Teng was confused. Why was this unfamiliar young lady following him?

Was she curious about him?

Wang Teng didn’t chase her away. He himself was a little curious about her. He had used her Spiritual Sight to scan her just now…

This young lady was a normal person!

To hell with being normal!

Wang Teng didn’t believe this result at all. He felt that he must have seen wrong. He used his Spiritual Sight to look at the lady a few more times, but the result was the same.

This didn’t make sense!

She appeared like a ghost just now. Was he just too careless?

Wang Teng found it impossible. Hence, he must find out what happened. Even if he didn’t, having a beautiful golden-haired lady touring the museum with him was like having free accompaniment. Why not?

“Alais, are you a local?” Wang Teng turned and asked.

“Yes,” Alais’s voice was as lovely as ever. She looked at him and said, “You’re from Country Xia? Are you here for the Global Exchange Conference?”

“Yes, I just came today.” Wang Teng didn’t hide it.

“Talents from all around the world gather on Mount Saint. There will be a fierce struggle. But… you’re very strong!” Alais looked at him carefully and said.

“You can tell?” Wang Teng was surprised.

“I can’t. But, I can feel it.” Alais pointed at her head.

“Alais, you’re not a normal person, right?” Wang Teng asked again.

The golden-haired lady smiled gently. Her eyes were like the stars, angelic and deep. She didn’t say anything.

Wang Teng understood in his heart. He stopped asking and continued strolling in the museum, looking for items that could drop attributes.

He had gotten a taste of success from the sword just now. That was more than 800 points of killing intent.

Killing Intent: 4320/7000 (7-star)

After a long period of accumulation, his killing intent had reached the 7-star level.

During the sea beasts riot, he had made use of the killing intent from the Donghai martial warriors to gather an extremely powerful killing intent. That was how they resisted against the auras of a large number of sea beasts.

If he raised his killing intent level to the 9-star, he would be able to get the same effect all alone.

Unfortunately, the ancient sword was an artifact, so there was a limited number of attribute bubbles it could drop. After all, it had existed for thousands of years and wasn’t as glorious as it was before.

Wang Teng was curious as to how many people the sword’s owner had killed in the past for it to have such a frightening killing intent. Even until today, the sword continued to drop killing intent attributes.

Wang Teng didn’t see any other items that dropped attributes thereafter. He was extremely disappointed.

There was only one last exhibition room left. It was situated in the deepest part of the museum. However, Wang Teng wanted to leave. He was starting to get bored.

Although the items here were strange, most of them were ordinary things. The ancient sword was considered a half-martial arts item.

It was just a normal weapon, but it managed to last until today because of its special material. Also, it could form killing intent because it had tasted the blood of too many people.

But since he was here, he didn’t mind visiting one last room.

Wang Teng entered the room slowly and scanned it. Suddenly, he stopped.

Attribute bubbles!

To his surprise, he found another item that could drop attributes in the last exhibition room. Wang Teng was caught between laughter and tears. Were they playing with him?

Suddenly, he hastened his pace and went forward.

Alais was puzzled. She wondered why he was suddenly in a hurry.

When he got nearer, Wang Teng saw that the item dropping the attribute bubbles was called a ‘Crystal Skull.’ He was bewildered.

Multiple attribute bubbles were scattered beside the crystal skull. In the short time he took to walk over, another attribute bubble was added to the collection.

He picked it up. Wang Teng picked the attribute bubbles without any hesitation.

Imperial Realm Spirit*1

Imperial Realm Enlightenment*2

Imperial Realm Spirit*1

…

When he saw the words on the attributes panel, he was dumbfounded. The attribute bubbles dropped by the crystal skull consisted of Enlightenment and Spirit. Moreover, they were both at the Imperial Realm!

This was unbelievable!

Was this crystal skull alive? Wang Teng looked at the crystal skull in front of him with an ambiguous expression. He was in a daze.

Alais saw his expression and explained, “It’s said that this crystal skull is a relic from the ancient Maya civilization. It’s the same size as a human skull, and there were 13 skulls dug out in total. They are scattered all over the world. Some belong to people’s private collections while others are displayed in various museums. Some were destroyed because they were regarded as unlucky items. But these are just rumors. The owners might have spread the rumors because they don’t want people to know the location of these skulls. Some people think that this crystal skull doesn’t belong to Earth. Instead, it came from outer space…”

“Maya civilization!” Wang Teng repeated unconsciously.

“Many scholars feel that the Maya civilization is an advanced ancient civilization. The archeologists have found numerous interesting items in the Maya temples. Some of them have signs of cultivation,” Alais added.

“Advanced ancient civilization!” Wang Teng was shocked. This crystal skull was able to drop Spirit and Enlightenment. Did this mean that cultivation existed in the Maya civilization?

“You seem to know a lot?” Wang Teng said knowingly.

Alais didn’t deny it.

“Did anyone discover cultivation scriptures in the Maya temples?” Wang Teng didn’t mind her response. He continued asking.

“No. All the countries are still in the exploration stage. Some say that another space existed within the Maya temples. That is the real location of the Maya civilization. We just haven’t found it,” Alais said.

“Why does it sound like bullshit to me?” Wang Teng shook his head. If they continued to guess in that direction, the Atlantis, the pyramids of ancient Egypt, and all the other mysterious ancient civilizations could all be linked to martial arts.

Wang Teng stared at the crystal skull. A few seconds later, attribute bubbles dropped again.

He picked them up and left the museum nonchalantly. He bade farewell to Alais.

“Where do you live? Do you need me to send you back? It isn’t safe for a lady to walk alone at night,” Wang Teng asked.

“No need.” Alais stopped the man who wanted to send her back. She left quietly and disappeared amidst the night lights in the small town.

Wang Teng shook his head. He walked into an empty dark alley and merged into the darkness, disappearing completely.

The next instant, a few black shadows appeared at the corner of the street.

“We lost him!”

“This young man isn’t simple.”

“He’s a martial warrior from Country Xia. Let’s go to their hotel to take a look.”

“Alright, let’s go!”
