A few months ago, when the rabbits counterattacked and captured Sheepback City.
The reconnaissance company commander under Longxing River, Zhang Yaqing, once led his team to discover a secret chamber within the Mo Family Manor.
And in that secret chamber.
The rabbits discovered what could be considered the most important batch of items since arriving in the Damo Realm:
First was the pitch-black skeleton of Mo Peidong. It was later revealed that Mo Peidong had taken over Mo Shaonan's body, proving that the Mo Family was indeed a loving family.
And based on Mo Peidong's wife's grave, it led to the deep pit at Qian Gu Mountain.
Next were two slabs that appeared to be prophetic tablets.
The electronic residue energy levels on the tablets made the rabbits realize for the first time that there might have been a preceding civilization in the Damo Realm, and it seemed highly advanced.
Later, tests from the command headquarters found that the stone whistle gifted by the Barbarian Commerce Association leader, Chilong, was made of the exact same material as the tablets.
As for the last item found in the secret chamber...
It was an ice coffin!
Although the rabbits currently lack the ability to open the ice coffin and know nothing about what's inside.
The presence of a microcrystalline iron array around the ice coffin, however, brought them unimaginable gains.
Whether it's the current camp's means of individually dealing with a Nascent Soul, or the protective 'array' used by Yang Zhengchu during his Nascent Soul Tribulation, they all derive from technology based on the microcrystalline array.
In other words.
Every item in the secret chamber is closely linked to one another, bringing unimaginable wealth to the rabbits.
If the secret chamber had not been discovered.
The camp's progress would most likely still be at the final stage of handling the beast tide at Xiaolianzi Mountain, with progress barely reaching 30% of what it is now.
However, as the saying goes.
Two flowers bloom, each in its own way.
Therefore, while highlighting the benefits gained from the secret chamber, the unresolved mysteries cannot be ignored:
That is, the interior situation of the ice coffin remains unknown to this day!
Don't forget.
The ice coffin is suspected to have an unknown field providing zero-point energy, and there is also a mysterious young girl asleep inside!
She is an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, slightly older than Hua Xiaomo.
Her face is delicate, with long hair reaching her knees, wrapping her whole body tightly like a flower.
According to later detection methods, the young girl possesses basic vital signs.
Thus, for a very long time.
The ice coffin has been treated as one of the highest secrets of the camp, placed inside a military base under strict supervision.
To think...
Another ice coffin has now been found in the local Qinling Mountains?
But unlike the ice coffin from the Mo Family's secret chamber...
The ice coffin in Panghu Cave contains no second 'Sleeping Beauty'βit's empty inside, looking like a large hollow box.
For some reason.
Zhu Yuhao felt this ice coffin was more like an abandoned item, casually thrown into a dug pit here.
In real-life terms, it's like someone rode a shared bicycle for a short distance, then locked it up again on a street corner after reaching their destination.
Nevertheless, the ice coffin's significance does not diminish in the slightest, as it is suspected to contain a vacuum!
Therefore, Zhu Yuhao dared not be negligent.
He immediately pulled Cui Xiaofeng back from the cave entrance and reported the situation of the ice coffin to command headquarters.
The location of Panghu Cave is several dozen kilometers to the southeast of the area where it was first discovered, geographically near Xinxiang in Zhongzhou Province.
Compared to Ju Mang Base, Modu is somewhat closer to this place.
And since the Fire Camp has previously dealt with ice coffins, they have some handling experience; hence, this support mission naturally fell on Modu's shoulders again.
Six hours later.
Around three thirty in the afternoon.
A group of experts from Modu arrived at the site.
This time, the team leader of the expert group was 'Mr. Xiao Yang' Lu Chaoyang, who used to enjoy playing Yasuo and recently loved playing Teemo and feeding the enemy... cough cough, the genius physicist.
Besides.
The accompanying team included a security force, with the leader being...
Cao Yi!
The one who just broke through the Foundation Establishment Stage after 1.3 million words, the strongest local combat power finally officially came out of seclusion.
Although Cao Yi's appearance hasn't changed much, he is no longer the small beat cop from before.
Currently, his position is the captain of the Fire Camp's 'Tian Shu' Special Operations Team, with his relationship shifted from a functional department to the military, rank insignia two-bar-one-star.
Additionally.
A deputy named Su Bai assists Cao Yi with coordination and task handovers.
Su Bai is now the deputy political commissar of the Modu Special Operations Team, considered Lin Ziming's local agent.
Currently, he is at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and is capable of controlling his life-bound magical artifact to flyβalthough Modu has not established a large cultivation base, it has an innate exchange advantage with the Damo Realm, allowing highly convenient travel.
Plus, Modu's geographical location is quite important, so having some cultivation forces stationed there is quite normal.
Upon arriving at the site.
Su Bai and Zhu Yuhao conducted a brief handover, as they were comrades responsible for overseeing guidance within the military:
"Director Zhu, hello."
"Major Su, it must have been a tough journey."
Zhu Yuhao saluted Su Bai, then slightly glanced past Su Bai:
"I wonder what the organization's support plan for this time is..."
Su Bai stepped aside, pointing to several large and small packages behind him:
"Director Zhu, due to time constraints, we didn't have much time to design special outfits.
So, we brought cold-resistant clothes of scientific expedition level, which is the Pathfinder model used during the 36th Antarctic expedition, where it achieved significant results.
With the assistance of a few first-level cold-resistant talismans, enduring a minus-100-degree environment is not difficult.
Furthermore, the base camp specially approved some activation devices for the microcrystalline array, allowing us to quickly set up an absolute defense area of twenty square meters.
With the cooperation of several cultivators, we should be able to handle any possible scenarios in theory."
Zhu Yuhao just nodded and stopped talking.
On the other side.
With his back injury having healed just recently, Cui Xiaofeng was looking curiously at Cao Yi:
"Comrade Xiaocao, you're our first local cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
Cao Yi smiled, a bit embarrassed, and scratched his head:
"Temporarily, temporarily.
The organization has taken good care of me, so my progress is slightly faster than other comrades.
In a while, Comrades Jing Song and Chen Rong should also break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Cui Xiaofeng nodded slightly and then changed the subject:
"Comrade Xiaocao, I heard that your what-not life-bound weapon is a modified Type 59 tank?"
Upon hearing this, cold sweat instantly broke out on Cao Yi's forehead.
He had been asked this type of question quite a few times recently, invariably followed by another request.
Although most of the requests were without much malice, going about it like a performance made him feel uncomfortable.
So he hastily explained:
"Professor Cui, apologies.
The spatial bags here have a large load when used, and my divine sense is currently not enough to bear such consumption.
So this time, the Type 59 was temporarily left in the Damo Realm and not brought back locally.
How about this, next time you visit the Damo Realm, I'll take you to have a proper look."
Upon hearing this, Cui Xiaofeng's expression visibly dropped a bit, chuckling dryly:
"I see, I see..."
Then, the two exchanged a few courteous words, fostering a basic sense of camaraderie.
Half an hour later.
Everything was ready.
Everyone was prepared.
The team from Modu launched the security operation for the ice coffin.
Note:
The military personnel characters have run out.....The remaining ones that have yet to appear are all research or functional personnel, only related if associated.
