Chapter 1012 – Cultivation Realm's Strength.

Zhao Hai was currently sitting inside the bone carriage. He took a gla.s.s of wine, took a sip, then closed his eyes as he said, "Addison, are you wondering why I am so interested in that giant skull and small beast skeleton?"

Addison was truly wondering. He didn't know why Zhao Hai needed to set a cooperation with Yuri. That huge skull wasn't anything rare in the Underworld. And although that small beast skeleton wasn't common, is it necessary to place a price on it? Was an agreement really needed?

Addison suppressed this thought for quite some time. Upon leaving Dry Bone City, Zhao Hai and Yuri had already signed a business contract, even if it was unnecessary in Addison's view.

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Addison recovered from his thoughts. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, I don't understand why you would need to do that. Although the s.p.a.ce can produce fiery souls and spirit stones, wasting it like this isn't good."

Zhao Hai still had his eyes closed, then he gently waved his hand. Addison suddenly felt that another set of clothes has donned on his body. Addison was stunned, he looked down and found out that he was now wearing a piece of armor. This armor was bone-shaped but it was very light, it also felt like it wasn't that hard. Addison found out that wearing it on his body felt very comfortable.

Addison gawked, then he looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. He didn't understand what Zhao Hai wanted to do. At this time, Zhao Hai waved his hand once more as a huge mirror appeared in front of Addison.

Addison looked at the mirror. There was a place-faced man on the mirror wearing an uncommon bone armor. The armor covered the whole body and didn't leave any place unprotected. Although his face can be seen, this was because the visor of the helmet was opened. Most importantly. Addison felt that the man on the image looked familiar.

It didn't take more than a minute for Addison to know why the figure was familiar. This was because the pale-faced man wearing the armor was him. The helmet that he was wearing seems to be a tiger skull with one sharp horn on top. It looked very much like the small beast skeleton that they acquired earlier on.

Addison understood that the armor was made out of that small beast skeleton. While Addison was looking at the armor, Zhao Hai suddenly said, "Addison, go try it. See how the armor performs."

Addison complied with a nod, then he left the carriage and headed towards the Dark Mist. Zhao Hai didn't worry and just continued drinking his red wine. After a while, explosions began to sound out in the Dark Mist. When the explosions stopped, Addsion appeared inside the carriage once more.

Zhao Hai opened his eyes and said, "So how was it?"

Addison gently caressed the armor as though he was holding a lover. Upon hearing Zhao Hai's question, Addison replied, "Young Master, this armor is fantastic, it's very good. It was able to enhance my strength by 20%. At the same time, my defense and speed has also been increased by 20%."

Zhao Hai faintly smiled. He was very clear, to people that reached his level, increasing by a rank was extremely difficult, not to say about improving one's strength. Because of this, Zhao Hai can understand Addison's happiness.

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "So do you know why I wanted to buy those skeletons? Remember, if you discover one of these things, buy them at any cost."

Addison immediately said, "Yes, Young Master. I know what to do."

Zhao Hai waved his hand. Addison's armor disappeared and was replaced by a pendant. The pendant was made out of thin bone chain and a pendant modelled after the small beast skeleton that was bought by Zhao Hai.

This pendant was hanging on Addison's neck. Zhao Hai looked at Addison and said, "Addison, I shall bestow this armor to you. If you want to use the armor, just send a trace of energy to it."

Addison was impatient to try it, so he sent a trace of energy to the pendant. After doing that, the full body armor was equipped on his body once more. Addison made another thought and the armor vanished into a pendant.

Addison tried it several times more, he was moved as he thanked Zhao Hai, "Young Master, thank you."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright, there's no need to be too polite. Your strength has been improved, isn't that good for me as well? If you encounter something in the future, then I wouldn't have to make a move that much. Right, which direction is the Lich?"

When he heard Zhao Hai, Addison immediately swept the place around him with his spiritual force. Then he commanded the undead to fly towards a direction.

Zhao Hai didn't care about which direction they were headed. He turned to Addison and said, "If we go at this speed, how long do you think we'll take to reach that Lich?"

Addison turned his head back to Zhao Hai and said, "We should arrive in about two days. But the place we're going to is the place where that Lich is located before. I'm not sure if he is still there at this time. I haven't seen him in a while."

Zhao Hai nodded, "It doesn't matter, we will slowly look for him, I always find things I want to find. Alright, let's take a rest." Addison nodded, then he lowered his head and fiddled with the pendant. It seems like he can't get tired just looking at it.

Zhao Hai didn't care about Addison's actions as his figure flashed and returned to the s.p.a.ce. He just received a lot of plants today, so he wanted to have a good look at them.

Although the huge bones were good things for Zhao Hai, he can't use them right now. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't bother with them for now. For him, those plants were more important.

Most importantly, after discussing with Cai'er, the bone armor was ready to be planted. The bone armor could enhance the strength of the Undead. And right now, Zhao Hai's main fighting force were the Undead creatures. If the Undead's power could be improved, then it would definitely be good news for Zhao Hai.

However, the black soil available for Zhao Hai was very limited. Even if all of the black soil were used to plant the bone armors, who knows how many they could grow in one year.

Zhao Hai wanted to enter the s.p.a.ce in order to discuss this matter in detail. However, after entering the room Zhao Hai couldn't help but gawk. This was because Laura and the others were looking at the huge bones.

After scanning Yuri's warehouse, Zhao Hai was able to get some parts of the huge skull. However, it was still incomplete in the end, so Zhao Hai just left them on the side. But Zhao Hai didn't expect Laura and the others to play with it.

Although Laura and the others weren't disgusted by the Undead and had even used it often, this was the first time for them to examine one this closely.

When Laura saw Zhao Hai arrive, she immediately said, "Brother Hai, come here quick. This skeleton is quite special, it's even harder than the s.p.a.ce's undead. It's amazing."

Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare upon hearing this, then he quickly went towards the big skeleton. The skeleton was naturally incomplete, other than the skull and ribs, the other parts were absent.

Back when Zhao Hai acquired these bones, they were all stained with dirt. They didn't look anything special. Only the huge skull caught Zhao Hai's attention.

But now the skeleton looked different. When it has been cleaned up, the bones were very white. It wasn't an ordinary pale white but inside it was like jade as it exuded a faint white light, it looked like a work of art.

Zhao Hai went towards the skeleton and took a careful look at it. He discovered that there was a scratch on a portion of the rib. Although this scratch wasn't very big, it can be seen that the position of this scratch was at the place where the heart should be.

Zhao Hai looked at the other ribs and discovered that they were complete and without any blemishes. Zhao Hai's gaze couldn't help but shrink. Then his staff turned into a sword as he slashed the skeleton.

After a clanging sound, the sword got deflected, leaving no mark on the skeleton. Zhao Hai, as well as the others, were surprised, this result was far from their expectation.

Zhao Hai was especially startled, he used 60% of his strength yet the skeleton remained undamaged. This was an evidence to how formidable this skeleton was.

Zhao Hai tried using 80% of his strength and was finally able to see a result. Zhao Hai waved his hand, receiving the skeleton as they went back inside the living room.

After having sat down, Zhao Hai said, "These skeletons shouldn't be the only ones in the Underworld. We saw a scratch on the skeleton, and that wasn't a simple scratch, it was something that was left behind by a sharp blade. The owners of the skeleton should have been killed while they were alive. We don't know for how long the skeleton have existed, but despite such a long time, they remained hard. Who knows how strong they were when they were still alive, yet they were still killed. This means that there is a more powerful existence than them. It seems like this isn't a simple matter."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Laura and the others stared, their expressions changed. But Laura quickly said, "Brother Hia, don't worry too much about it. Just as you said, we don't know how long this skeleton existed. Since we aren't sure if they still exist now, there's no need to think about it at this time."

Zhao Hai sighed and said, "Naturally I wasn't worried in the Underworld. In this plane, the strongest beings should be on Addison's level. However, I suspect that these skeletons didn't come from the Underworld. If these skeletons are from the Cultivation World, then we might have to readjust how we see the Cultivators."

Chapter 1013 – Cai'er's Gradual Maturity

Laura and the others were stunned upon hearing Zhao Hai. After that, they all frowned. They understood what Zhao Hai meant. In the Underworld, all experts were almost immortal, this was because they were Undead.

And those large skeletons, from the hardness of their bones, it was enough to prove that they were certainly experts before they died, it wasn't easy for them to die. Moreover, it was impossible for experts like them to appear in the Underworld. In other words, these huge skeletons didn't originate in the Underworld.

If they weren't from the Underworld, then it only meant that they came from a more formidable plane. And presently, the only thing that comes to Zhao Hai's mind was the Cultivation World.

If these skeletons belong to the Cultivation Realm, then Zhao Hai has to readjust his views regarding the strength of the realm. This was because Zhao Hai's second slash carried 80% of his strength. With Zhao Hai's strength, 80% of it was already very huge. And even so, he was only able to make a mark on the bone. Wasn't that enough to explain the strength of these skeletons?

Laura and the others didn't expect that Zhao Hai would think so far. Now that Zhao Hai brought it up, this caused a small sense of fear to emerge inside them.

Laura frowned and said, "Brother Hai, you mean?"

Zhao Hai forced a smile and said, "I don't mean anything for now. At this time, the s.p.a.ce doesn't have the means to appraise those skeletons, let alone us. I just had some understanding with regards to the Cultivation Realm."

Laura and the others could understand what Zhao Hai wanted to say. At this moment, they still have little understanding with regards to the Cultivation Realm. It was useless for them to think about it right now. The only thing they could do was to improve their strengths as much as possible.

Zhao Hai let out a long breath and decided to not think about this matter. Just as what Laura said, thinking about it at this time was useless. They can only go step by step according to their plan. Even if they wanted to do anything about it, they couldn't do so.

Zhao Hai moved on as he turned to Cai'er and said, "Cai'er, if we plant the bone armor, how much will it affect the twelve constellation combat suits?"

When Cai'er heard Zhao Hai, she smiled and said, "Young Master, actually, we already have a lot of twelve constellations combat suits. You shouldn't underestimate the production rate of the s.p.a.ce. Although its output each day isn't much, it could add up to a lot. And now that time accelerated regions had appeared, I had some of those regions placed on top of black soil. We can plant the combat suits there, immensely boosting their production. And don't forget, the black soil can accelerate plant growth."

Zhao Hai asked, "Time-accelerated regions can be placed on top of black soil? Will it affect the growth of the herbs? Also, I'm planning to grow years on some plants on the black soil, not just accelerate their growth."

Cai'er smiled and said, "Young Master can rest a.s.sured, even if the time accelerated region is much stronger than the black soil, there is no actual conflict between the two of them. The black soil only accelerates the growth of plants while the time accelerated region just speeds up time, so there's no overlap. There won't be something like the plants in the black soil halting their growth. After all, the time accelerated region must honor the rules, the same is true for the black soil."

Cai'er's words almost confused Zhao Hai, but he could faintly understand it. What Cai'er basically said was the time accelerated region and the black soil could be paired with one another. The effect of this overlap would be additive when it came to crops. And when it came to people, only the time accelerated region would act."

Zhao Hai was glad with this information, "Good, then I'll trust your decisions. We still need bone armors and twelve constellation combat suits. Right, we've just levelled up. You must process where to plant and to place the time accelerated regions."

Cai'er gave a nod, "Young Master, I know what to do. In fact, I have already planted the twelve constellation combat suits on the time accelerated regions. At this point, almost everyone from the Devil Legion is equipped with the combat suits. The Young Master doesn't need to worry about this."

While listening to Cai'er, Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel happy as he said, "Good, good! Cai'er, you're the best. Hahahaha" Then he grabbed Cai'er and gave her a kiss. Cai'er gave a scream, she scrambled to have Zhao Hai let go of her before she flew away. n.o.body knew where she had run off to.

When Zhao Hai saw this result, he couldn't help but stare. But when he remembered what he had just done, he became embarra.s.sed. And with the look that Laura and the others were giving him, Zhao Hai felt distressed.

Zhao Hai didn't really have any intentions towards Cai'er when he did that, he just did so reflexively. After seeing the expression on Laura and the others' faces, Zhao Hai felt that he may have been rash in his decision.

However, Zhao Hai discovered that Laura and the others weren't mad at him. This caused Zhao Hai to feel relieved. But after that, Zhao Hai began to discover that Cai'er's manner had become more and more mature.

Zhao Hai looked back at the time when he first saw Cai'er. Although it can be said that Cai'er was very strong and Zhao Hai wasn't aware for how long she has been alive for, Cai'er was still childlike at that time. However, without Zhao Hai noticing, Cai'er was maturing as time went on. As her body got bigger and bigger, she became to learn how to be shy, completely different compared to the playful Cai'er from before.

……………………………………………………………

Two days quickly went past. Over these two days, Zhao Hai spent the majority of his time inside the bone carriage observing the Underworld alongside Addison. The two drank and had a chat, pa.s.sing the time with comfort.

After two days of travelling, a bone mountain appeared in front of Zhao Hai. It was a very huge bone mountain, it could even be described as a mountain range. At this time, the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.

From what Zhao Hai felt, this bone mountain seems to be as high as several kilometers. There were some low-level skeletons walking along the mountain. These skeletons didn't have any consciousness, they just walked aimlessly in all directions. But some of these skeletons were hunting the others and absorbed their fiery souls, becoming stronger in the process.

Addison swept the mountain with his spiritual force, then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, this is where I met that Lich. That Lich is very formidable, even in my current state, I am still not confident in being able to deal with him."

Zhao Hai nodded, he turned his head towards the mountain before he said, "Alright, let's go. I hope we can look for him smoothly. The sooner we find him, the better." After saying that, the four beast Undead pulled the carriage to traverse the mountain.

Before long, Zhao Hai and the others appeared on the summit. The low-ranked skeletons didn't dare approach Zhao Hai's group. Although these small skeletons didn't have any intellect, their instincts told them that they couldn't just approach people like Zhao Hai.

Along the way, Zhao Hai kept scanning the mountain for things that he might be able to bring to the s.p.a.ce. But unfortunately, he didn't find too much in this huge mountain. Although there were plants here, these plants were either already in the s.p.a.ce or weren't high-ranked enough.

Although Zhao Hai was a little disappointed, he just shook it off. After all, he can get bone-shaped plants whenever he wanted.

When Zhao Hai arrived at the summit, he took the chance to take a look at the horizon. Behind this mountain were never-ending peaks.

After seeing this situation, Zhao Hai couldn't bear but force a smile. Then he turned his head to Addison and said, "Addison, do you know which direction that Lich might be?"

Addison smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, honestly, I don't know. At that time, I was too weak. I didn't dare to stop here. After I made a transaction with that Lich, I left immediately."

Zhao Hai gave a helpless smile and said, "It seems like we'll have to scour the mountain to find him. Alright, let's go back to the s.p.a.ce. If only the two of us look for him, then who knows when we'll be finished." Then after Zhao Hai sent Addison back to the s.p.a.ce, he put his hand outside and had the Blood Ghost Staff transform into small needles and had them fly around. This was the method that Zhao Hai thought of in order to find the Lich as soon as possible. Zhao Hai believed that as long as the Lich was in this mountain range, he would be able to find him.

Meanwhile, Addison went straight towards the h.e.l.l s.p.a.ce. He couldn't adapt to Zhao Hai's living s.p.a.ce, there was too much sunlight. Although Addison didn't fear sunlight, it still made him feel uncomfortable.

On the other hand, when Zhao Hai returned to the s.p.a.ce, he began to carefully examine the images on the monitor. At this time, the display has been divided into many smaller images, each one pertaining to a small Blood Ghost Staff needle. At this moment, aside from the bone mountain, nothing special has been spotted.

However, Zhao Hai didn't worry. Worrying was useless in this case. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't get too anxious. Conversely, Zhao Hai had the needles slow down, he didn't want to miss any good items just because the needles were going too fast.

The bone mountain was very big. Zhao Hai didn't believe that such a huge structure wouldn't have one or two great things. From what Zhao Hai can see, this bone mountain was just like a virgin forest on Earth, there was bound to be a treasure here somewhere.

And just like Zhao Hai thought, the search yielded a few harvests. Among them were more huge skeletons as well as bone plants.

Naturally, Zhao Hai wasn't polite and immediately took the skeletons and plants directly to the s.p.a.ce. Moreover, he also took in some strange items like iron swords and damaged s.h.i.+elds.

This didn't mean that Zhao Hai was just sorting through junk. This was because these things were indeed rare in the Underworld. In this plane, the weapons the Undead used were mostly made out of bone while weapons made by high-ranked beings were made out of their own body. Things like iron and wood weapons were almost nonexistent here. Because of this, Zhao Hai wanted to investigate the origin of these items.

Chapter 1014 – A Field Inside The Mountains!

But much to Zhao Hai's disappointment, the rusted swords and broken s.h.i.+elds didn't provide any useful information for him. Moreover, after going through the scanner, the materials used for these weapons were substandard. It can be said that they were practically worthless.

So Zhao Hai had to throw these things out again. After all, he can just casually take out something much stronger than that broken sword. He wasn't the king of trash.

In the beginning, Zhao Hai had no sense of how large this bone mountain was. But after an hour of exploration, Zhao Hai finally got an idea. After an hour, the needles that went to all directions had yet to find an end. This caused Zhao Hai to be surprised.

Although Zhao Hai had the small needles slow down, this slowing down was relative. Compared to an average person flying, the speed of the needles was still very fast.

For such a speed to be unable to reach the ends of the Bone Mountain, this meant that this Bone Mountain was enormous. It has exceeded Zhao Hai's expectation.

Laura and the others were similarly startled. Just like Zhao Hai, they didn't think that this bone mountain would actually be this big. Zhao Hai had already collected ten bone plants in the s.p.a.ce. This wasn't a small number in the Underworld, after all, these kinds of plants were not very easy to come upon.

On the other hand, Zhao Hai began to acc.u.mulate more and more huge skeletons into the s.p.a.ce. In addition to a human form, Zhao Hai also collected an animal-shaped skeleton. He took them because they had the same texture as the human-shaped ones.

When Zhao Hai discovered that this animal-shaped skeleton had the same build as the human skeleton, he was taken aback. He didn't think that a beast would have the same skeletal build as that huge skull. Naturally, after Zhao Hai took that skeleton to the s.p.a.ce, the s.p.a.ce issued a prompt saying that Zhao Hai's level was insufficient. This caused Zhao Hai to be more curious about the Underworld.

Zhao Hai knew that the Underworld had more secrets left for him to uncover. However, Zhao Hai didn't think about them for now. At this time, Zhao Hai was determined to get more of those mysterious bones into the s.p.a.ce, maybe he'll find a use for them in the future.

Five hours went by, Zhao Hai's needles had already flown to the sides of the bone mountain. They had yet to discover anything suspicious. However, Zhao Hai was able to get more plants and huge skeletons in the meantime.

Presently, only the south had yet to be explored. But even so, there were still no special places spotted. Even traces of ordinary skeletons couldn't be seen here.

Zhao Hai couldn't help but get anxious. He didn't know if the Lich was still in this mountain. If the Lich was still here, then that would save some trouble for Zhao Hia. If he wasn't, then Zhao Hai would be disappointed.

Another hour pa.s.sed by, Zhao Hai was still persistent. Laura and the others had already gone to sleep. Zhao Hai was starting to get bored as he drank tea and observed the monitor from time to time.

Then at this moment, an image in the monitor began to change, causing Zhao Hai to stare. He immediately placed down the book he was holding and focused on the monitor. The other images on the monitor disappeared, making s.p.a.ce for only one image.

Zhao Hai carefully scrutinized the display and unexpectedly saw a stretch of field!

Zhao Hai didn't mistakenly see it, it was actually a stretch of field in the middle of the huge bone mountain range. The field was about ten mu(6667 sq.m.) in size. There was a fence surrounding this field and there were plants planted inside. Most importantly, Zhao Hai hadn't seen most of these plants before. And in this field, Zhao Hai couldn't see any piece of broken bone anywhere.

In this ten mu of land were very small shards of bone, the biggest was about a fingernail in size while most were basically dust.

The area wasn't very big, but what's most important to Zhao Hai was the fact that this place existed. He couldn't help but feel surprised.

There were no such things as oases in the Underworld. The Undead rely on blood from the Blood Ponds and the Dark Mist in order to survive, so they really didn't need fertile land to live off of. Since entering the Underworld, this was Zhao Hai's first time seeing a piece of land like this. Zhao Hai even thought that there was only one such land in the entirety of the Underworld.

Zhao Hai's heart skipped a beat, he knew that he had found the place. Zhao Hai made the needle stop as he took a careful look at the field. On the field, Zhao Hai could see plants that he had and hadn't seen before, and all of them were neatly planted in their own regions.

Zhao Hai scanned through the field and saw that other than the plants, there was nothing else. After that, Zhao Hai directed the needle, as well as the other needles, to scan the surroundings of the field.

Before long, Zhao Hai discovered a cave on a side of the bone mountain. This cave wasn't very big, its entrance was just enough for a person to enter and exit. However, the entrance of the cave was carefully laid out. There was a flat land in front of it, paved with stones and was properly flattened.

Zhao Hai knew that he had found the place. He didn't call Laura and the others out and instead took Addison with him to leave the s.p.a.ce.

After Addison saw the cave, he immediately understood what was going on. He turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, do you think that this is the place?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "This should be it. Try and call him out. However, don't use your spiritual force to scan the place, we don't want the other party to think that we came here with malice."

Addison nodded before turning his head towards the entrance and said, "Is someone inside?"

The entrance remained still, no sound was heard back, so Addison increased the volume of his voice, "Is Senior here? Addison came to visit!"

Just as he said that, a sound was transmitted from inside the cave, "Addison? Why does that name sound familiar? I heard that somewhere." The voice got closer and closer before a Lich appeared in the entrance.

The Lich looked very ancient, white hair end-to-end, the same was true for his beard. He was wearing a robe that covered the rest of his body, giving out an ethereal feeling. His lower body was floating amidst the Dark Mist.

The Lich looked at Zhao Hai and Addison and couldn't help but pause. After sweeping his gaze on Zhao Hai and turning to Addison, he knitted his brows and said, "You seem to be a Vampire. Have you been here before? I don't seem to remember."

Addison turned to glance at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, this is Senior Lich." Then he turned to the Lich and said, "Senior, do you remember me? I was fortunate to meet senior outside the mountain. I also helped Senior acquire a blood b.u.t.terfly, and in exchange, Senior gave me a technique as a reward."

When the Lich heard Addison, he stayed silent for some time before he nodded and said, "Hmm, that seems to be more than 1 thousand years ago. At that time, you are still a Marquis. Becoming a Vampire King in such a short time is quite an achievement."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. One thousand years was actually just a short time for this old Lich. If other intelligent lifeforms heard this, then they might get mad.

Addison bowed to the Lich and said, "Right, right. It is an honor that Senior actually still remembers me. Just like you said, I was just a Vampire Marquis at that time."

The old Lich nodded and then he looked at Addison and said, "Why did you come here? And who is this? For a Vampire King to call you Young Master, it seems like you aren't a simple character."

While he said that, the old Lich's bright eyes sized Zhao Hai up. Zhao Hai took a step forward and bowed, "I heard Addison talk about Senior some time ago. I have great admiration for characters like Senior, so we made a special trip in order to visit you. Me and Addison has been travelling for some time."

The Old Lich looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Visit me? Why?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "We want to invite Senior to join us. I have established a special Magic Formation Research Laboratory. We need brilliant minds like Senior in the laboratory."

The Old Lich knit his brows and said, "Magic formations? But it has been some time since I researched magic formations. I'm currently researching the fire inside one's soul. I'm not interested in magic formations right now."

When he heard the Old Lich, Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Senior, please wait. I have something to show Senior. After seeing it, I will ask Senior to make your decision." Then Zhao Hai waved his hand and took a laptop out.

Zhao Hai's people were still rarely equipped with a laptop. It might only be Karen's group who were using laptops extensively. Let alone using it, it was even rarer to see one. Take Addison for example, he had never seen a computer before.

Zhao Hai took out a closed laptop and didn't immediately open it. The laptop looked very sleek. It's frame was made out of metal and was brightly polished.

Addison and the Old Lich were puzzled at why Zhao Hai would take out a strangle looking metal box.

Zhao Hai smile faintly before opening the laptop. And just as expected, Addison and the Lich stared since they had never seen the insides of a laptop before.

Zhao Hai pushed some b.u.t.tons and keys on the laptop in order to open a file. In this file were records about the magic armor research; magic formations, videos of magic armor battles, a 3D model of a magic armor, amongst others.

The Old Lich and Addison couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes. This was the first time they had seen a mystical thing like this. After fiddling a few b.u.t.tons, it could actually show some patterns and words on it surface.

Zhao Hai didn't show magic armor battles at first, instead he showed the 3D model of the magic armor. Naturally, this image rotated on the screen along with the descriptions that Karen and the others put in.

Zhao Hai turned to the Old Lich and gestured at the laptop, "Senior, this is an item we discovered outside a spatial rift. There are a lot of these things on the other side of that Spatial Rift. These things hold formidable fighting strength. These things are full of never before seen magic formations."

Actually, Karen't explanations could already be seen on the screen. While Karen's explanation was being played, the old Lich's attention was basically glued on the computer.

It was only until Zhao Hai took the laptop back did the Old Lich recover. The Old Lich looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Do those things really exist? How is their combat strength?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Senior, take a look at this and you'll understand." Then he opened the video of the fight between the magic armors and the foreign races. This video was something that Cai'er made. The editing made it possible to showcase the various aspects of the magic armor.

It wasn't only the Old Lich who was glued to the monitor, Addison was the same. In the video, there were a thousand Foreign Race warriors fighting against the magic armors.

However, the Old Lich and Addison was somewhat unmoved. This was because, in their eyes, the fighting power of the Foreign Races wasn't any good.

Zhao Hai looked at the expressions of the two men and said, "Are you thinking that these magic armors aren't any good? But what if I tell you that their enemies aren't weak people? Moreover, these magic armors are driven by people, much like carriages. Also, the people driving these magic armors had fairly the same strength as an ordinary person."

As soon as they heard Zhao Hai, the two couldn't help but change their thoughts. Naturally they knew that if ordinary people could man these things, then its overall utility was certainly great.

Zhao Hai continued, "If we can figure out the magic formations on these magic armors, even if we don't use it for magic armors, it is already a huge benefit to us. After we figure it out, then we could use them in a lot of things. If we can use it on weapons, then the weapons would experience a qualitative change."

Then Zhao Hai opened a text doc.u.ment. Depicted on the doc.u.ment were the various designs of magic formations as well as the current progress in figuring them out. Beside each magic formation were detailed lists of their potential use. However, majority of these portions were blank as they had yet to be cracked.

Actually, Zhao Hai taking the laptop out was part of his plan regarding the Old Lich. He knew that the Old Lich would find the laptop's novelty interesting and would definitely feel curious about it. And sure enough, the Old Lich was very curious about this metallic box.

Moreover, with the laptop having magic formations saved inside, it would be impossible for the Old Lich to remain unmoved. As long as the Old Lich bites the bait, then Zhao Hai would be able to lead him into the s.p.a.ce. And when the ancient Lich enters the s.p.a.ce, the discussion would begin.
