Chapter 155 - Chapter 35: Changes in Blade-shaped Keratin!

The billowing heat rose continuously, churning in the air, causing the surrounding temperature to rise!

The closer to the lava pool, the higher the temperature!

But in the direction of the lava pool, there was something extremely discordant appearing above it!

In Jia Yan's eyes, the appearance of this thing here was somewhat unexpected but not entirely surprising!

Because if the so-called Japanese divine object really existed on Mount Fuji, then the appearance of this thing in front of him would not be surprising at all!

On the contrary, if the Japanese divine object did not exist near Mount Fuji, then this thing should not exist either!

So seeing this thing now directly corroborated the account of the Japanese divine object in Li Qi's notebook, proving that it was indeed real!

The divine object existed, and it was right here near Mount Fuji!

Jia Yan's heart was filled with certainty as he slightly lowered his body!

As he approached the lava pool, he could feel the temperature rising even more!

Nevertheless, he still lowered his body until he came to the side of that thing.

This thing had a hard outer shell, and its overall material was metallic.

Its appearance gave off a very modern feel!

Because the whole thing was made entirely of an unidentified metal, giving it a strange glow on its surface.

So what exactly was it?

The appearance of this thing was identical to those pipes at the bottom of the Chinese underground world, where mysterious machinery was attached!

And finding its figure here indicated that this area near Mount Fuji did indeed have similar mysterious machinery!

That's the Japanese divine object!

"A divine object?" Jia Yan's compound eyes gleamed faintly as he observed the thing before him.

This pipe protruded from one side of the rock wall and then curved in the air, plunging directly into the glowing red lava pool!

It seemed to have no fear of the temperature at all.

"This thing is indeed quite futuristic. I wonder who made it..."

Jia Yan looked at the pipe and then glanced at the cliff where the pipe protruded.

If it weren't for this cliff, he might have followed the direction of the pipe and found the Japanese divine object, to see if it was exactly like the mysterious machinery in the Chinese underground world!

But that was impossible. Jia Yan couldn't trace the pipe all the way to where the divine object might be, even with his armadillo-like digging ability. Therefore, the only thing he could study was this metal pipe!

"That kind of mysterious machinery has countless pipes of various sizes leading underground. Since even this type of pipe can be seen here, it shows that they are not just penetrating a little distance underground. They might be much deeper than we think!"

Would they even pierce into the Earth's core?

Thinking of this possibility, Jia Yan shook his head. This idea was too exaggerated.

"Since the machinery inserts these pipes, it must serve a purpose. Can I guess that it is some kind of functional machine? And by inserting the pipes into the ground, they obtain something."

This analysis was quite correct. Jia Yan had seen the appearance of the machinery in the underground world and although it did not seem to have the possibility of attacking humans, it was clear that it possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities.

And it didn't seem to attack or move!

With so many pipes present, there was only one possible guess: that this thing existed to obtain something underground.

"And even piercing into this lava, does that mean what they want to obtain is very, very deep?" Jia Yan analyzed.

Then, the faint light in Jia Yan's eyes became even brighter.

"Finding the location of the divine object along the pipe doesn't seem so easy. Since that's the case, I'll just go directly for this pipe!"

Jia Yan thought right. Since the divine object's pipe was seen here, there was no reason not to investigate it.

Even if there was no gain, it wouldn't affect anything. After leaving the cave, he could continue to search for the shadow of the divine object!

At least it would prove that the divine object existed.

"Okay, let me try with my forelimb first." Jia Yan continued to fly in mid-air, facing a section of the divine object pipe exposed in the air.

This section of the pipe was about three meters long, with a diameter of seventy to eighty centimeters.

Jia Yan extended his blade-shaped keratin forelimb and gently scratched the surface of the pipe.

Squeak...

The sharp tip of the blade-shaped keratin made a harsh sound as it slightly cut the surface of the pipe.

"No trace at all." Jia Yan saw that the tip of his blade-shaped keratin had left no mark, feeling a heavy heart.

After several battles, Jia Yan had great confidence in his blade-shaped keratin!

Perhaps because it was fused with a certain metal substance, its sharpness was exceptional!

Just like when he pierced the outer armor of a fighter jet and even punctured the entire Japanese armored vehicle, these were all reasons why Jia Yan had confidence in his blade-shaped keratin!

But now, this exoskeleton could not leave any marks on the pipe!

"Indeed, it is a metal that can penetrate directly into the lava..." Jia Yan retracted his blade-shaped keratin, and his compound eyes gleamed with a strange light.

He then lifted his right forelimb, and the blade-shaped keratin control flashed a vague shadow, then descended towards the ground!

Clang!

The sound echoed throughout the space, extremely piercing.

This time, Jia Yan used all his strength. Such an attack could easily pierce through a human's body, even severing bones!

"Huh?"

After his right forelimb pierced the pipe, Jia Yan suddenly felt a powerful shock force coming from the metal pipe!

Jia Yan's body, flying in the air, was directly pushed backward.

Pushed back!

"What a tough metal!" Jia Yan was extremely shocked!

"What is this metal made of? It doesn't seem to be the same material as that mysterious machinery. But its hardness is still so high!"

Comparing it to the material of the mysterious machinery itself, Jia Yan knew that this pipe's metal would definitely be a level lower!

Because when observing the mysterious machinery, it was very obvious that it had a very strong sense of technology, but this metal pipe, if not for Jia Yan's guess that it was a pipe separated from the so-called divine object, would likely be considered just an ordinary pipe from a human factory.

But this kind of pipe was unexpectedly so hard!

"I don't believe it!" The faint light in Jia Yan's compound eyes flickered even more.

Lowering his body completely, he first tested the temperature of the pipe with one forelimb. Feeling that although the pipe was completely immersed in the lava pool, it did not bring the temperature of the lava to his body.

Jia Yan could easily step on his long legs!

It was probably around seventy or eighty degrees. If it were a human, their skin would definitely be burned, but Jia Yan had thickened clumps blocking the outer layer of his exoskeleton, plus the exoskeleton itself was not afraid of heat. This temperature wouldn't even scald the clumps, let alone Jia Yan's body!

So Jia Yan's body descended directly onto the pipe, and then his five long legs firmly gripped the surface of the pipe!

The remaining right forelimb lifted again!

This time, the five long legs firmly gripped the metal pipe. With a foothold, the force exerted by the forelimb was completely different from when he was flying in the sky!

The long legs descended!

Clang!!!

A vibrating sound echoed through the entire space. Jia Yan's forceful strike, although not simple, was like striking on an official road. The sound reverberated through the air!

However, that was the extent of the effect!

Jia Yan's right forelimb was slightly trembling from the recoil!

But what he couldn't believe was that his strike was definitely capable of easily breaking through the previous Woguo light armored vehicle, but in front of this pipe, it seemed to have no effect at all!

There wasn't even the slightest trace left behind!

"This!"

The faint eyes of Jia Yan flickered with astonishment. This time, he was truly amazed. After all, during this period, he had become familiar with the feeling of becoming stronger. Everything before had proved that he was no longer a weak mosquito, but a terrifying giant mosquito!

The master of this Earth, humans, were paying extremely close attention to him, and even the whole world was in an uproar because of it!

But unexpectedly, there was a Waterloo here!

Blocked by an inconspicuous metal pipe!

"If this whole pipe is so hard, it's terrifying!"

Jia Yan carefully observed the pipe. There was still a faint dent left by his previous strike on the pipe, but it was extremely subtle. If he didn't observe carefully, he wouldn't be able to notice it at all!

"Since there are traces appearing, it's possible to break through!"

Jia Yan was initially shocked by the hardness of the metal pipe, but when he saw the faint dent on the metal surface, his compound eyes lit up again!

He was afraid of being completely unable to deal with this metal, but since he was able to make a small dent, it was possible to completely pierce through!

Jia Yan's forelimb continued to lift, aiming at the location of the dent, and began to attack continuously!

Clang!

Clang clang!!

Clang clang clang!!!

Each relentless strike of the sharp keratin on the hard object caused significant damage to the sharp tip of the keratin!

After continuous attacks for a dozen times, Jia Yan found that although each attack left an impression, the further attacks had less and less impact on the metal pipe. In the end, there wasn't even a single mark left by the last strike!

"Not good! The keratin has become dull!"

After discovering this problem, Jia Yan's heart felt pained. Then, he stopped attacking and stood still, observing the keratin on his forelimb.

After waiting for a moment.

"Huh..." Jia Yan was somewhat surprised to find that the keratin had undergone some changes!

Some hard tissues, similar to those clots, slowly grew from the tip of the keratin.

This change was almost visible to the naked eye, surprising Jia Yan.

After a while.

The keratin completely returned to its original state!

Jia Yan was even more shocked to find that among the keratin that grew autonomously, besides most of it being identical to the original keratin in composition, there was also an inexplicable...

A hint of deep blue light!

This was not the fleeting deep blue of the exoskeleton!

But a constant deep blue.

Jia Yan's compound eyes became even brighter!
