I Can’t Explain This. My Novel On Relics Became Reality - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Underground Signing Reward And The Divine Tree Crisis!

This strange scene made the experienced Professor Feissel start to fear.

“Did you hear anything just now?”

Because the sound just now was very soft, only a few people who were closer to the divine tree heard it.

“That sound just now was like that of a heartbeat. Did you notice it!?”

Professor Feissel found it hard to believe. He wondered if he had misheard.

However, Ian, who was looking at the map, knew that the heartbeat was not as simple as Feissel had thought.

The map in his brain only had a dark red skull, indicating the pharaoh’s tomb. The other places were all plain white, meaning there was no danger.

However, the color of the underground palace was constantly changing from white to red.

This meant that the danger level of the underground palace had been adjusted to a dangerous level by the map!

“F*ck! This is really a waste of effort!”

Ian suddenly pounded on the stone door.

The system notification sound that had been silent for a long time actually resounded throughout his brain.

Ding!

Just as Ian was thinking about how to solve this problem, the system notification rang out in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in the underground palace of the pyramid. You have obtained the Divine-level Astrology and Divine-level Holy Water reward. The reward can be stored in the system space. The host can use it at any time.]

‘Divine-level Astrology and Divine-level Holy Water?’

When Ian heard the system notification in his mind, he was instantly energized.

So he could sign in as long as he touched the door of the underground palace!

From the names of these things, he knew that they were not bad items!

He quickly checked the system’s signing reward.

[Divine-level Astrology]: You can judge a person’s future through divination. This technique can also be used to find things. After learning it, you will be able to choose the location of the palace, residence, village, ruins, direction, construction, and other methods to reach the general level. You can easily find all kinds of feng shui treasures.

[Divine-level Holy Water]: After being blessed with holy water, it can treat injuries and diseases, slow down aging, and prolong life. It can also be used to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. It is a very rare item.”

When Ian saw the introduction, he was instantly energized.

His eyes flashed with intense excitement!

As expected, there was always a way out!

These things were too awesome!

Whether it was the divine-level astrology or holy water, they had unimaginable effects on him.

With something as awesome as astrology, he could easily find the precious relics in the ruins.

No matter how fearsome the monsters in the mausoleum were, he would just pour a bottle of holy water on them!

He could rest assured about the items that were produced by the system.

With that, when Ian saw the notification that the map was gradually turning red, he was also relieved.

Of course, the holy water would only be used to ensure his safety.

It would be impossible to use it to protect others.

Ian was extremely excited.

He subconsciously wanted to use the system reward package.

However, at that moment, Aika’s voice sounded in his ear.

“Ian…” Aika suddenly had a serious look on her face as she laughed and said to him, “Is the following content not allowed to be broadcast live?”

Ian looked at Aika in surprise. Her sharp observation astonished him. He could see that something was going to happen next.

Ian nodded. “What’s going to happen next is not suitable for the live stream.”

The situation in the ruins was getting out of control. Some things were not suitable to be broadcast.

“Dear viewers, we are going to push out the ancient tomb next,” Aika whispered to the viewers in the live broadcast room.

Although they hadn’t said anything before, these viewers didn’t give up until the end.

Just listening to the sound was super exciting.

The withdrawal at this time made many viewers realize that what was about to follow was top-secret content that couldn’t be made public.

They watched the soldier constantly shake the divine tree.

The surrounding dozens of thick and sturdy chains were extremely rusty due to the corrosion of time.

Everyone watched the soldier’s actions carefully from the side.

“This person is too reckless. These are all precious cultural relics!”

“I think so too, but he has a gun in his hand. Do you dare to criticize him?”

It was because he had a firearm in his hand.

The soldier was currently shaking the divine tree fearlessly.

However, when he was shaking them, Ian could hear his heart beating louder and louder.

“It’s just a trick to fool people. Can It really resurrect people? Then why is the pharaoh still lying there?”

As the soldier’s words fell, the huge divine tree suddenly became quiet. The sound of heartbeats also completely disappeared.

“That’s f*cking right. What an obedient ghost. Don’t f*cking come out and make a fool of yourself.”

The soldier was holding a gun in front of him.

Whenever something appeared in front of him, he would let the other party taste the power of modern technology.

Looking at the soldier who kept shouting, Ian had a bad feeling in his heart.

The smooth surface of the divine tree revealed the outline of a human figure.

Before Ian could see clearly what was inside, the divine tree suddenly trembled, and a black crack appeared.

Before Ian could react, countless pale human hands reached out from the divine tree and grabbed the soldiers’ clothes, trying to pull him in.

The sudden change of events stunned everyone.

The dozens of strange human-like hands in the chaos were abnormally black. When the beam of light illuminated them, they immediately turned a strange white color. They were all reaching out from the dark corners of the divine tree.

Several strange white hands grabbed the soldier. Half of his shoulder was pulled in. He was desperately hunching his legs to hang onto the platform under his feet. He was barely holding on.

The hands that reached out from the divine tree crevices were silent, so no one noticed. When they caught and slowly pulled him in, the soldier had no choice but to use all his strength to resist. If he relaxed even a little, he would immediately be pulled into the 10,000-year-old divine tree’s pitch-black abyss.

After the soldier hooked the edge of the divine tree with one foot, he immediately raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

An explosive sound echoed as it shot the hands that were grabbing his shoulder. The bullet’s power shattered them, and it also affected his own hand—his palm was completely shattered.

However, there were still some arms wrapped around his shoulders.

The soldier’s ability to adapt was also exceptional. Before he lost his mind and the other strange hands in the divine tree touched him, he had already grasped the paratrooper knife in his hand. He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and swung it backward violently, cutting off half of his arm. He immediately got out of the danger zone with a stomp of his feet.

The blood from the soldier’s wound seemed to have stimulated the divine tree.

The defeated hands that had followed him stretched out from within.

Everyone immediately screamed in fear.

Professor Feissel and the others were so scared that they stood still and did not dare to move.

The life and death of the soldier lying on the ground was unknown.

The others were powerless to resist.

At that moment, Ian slowly walked forward to face these arms that were emitting a strange aura.

His face was calm, and his eyes were filled with contempt and confidence.

No one noticed.

He held a bottle of Holy Water that was giving off a sacred aura in his palm behind his back…
