Chapter Fifty-Three: Metal Life

  Dazzling golden light shot out from the room, making Garo unable to open his eyes for a moment. After slowly getting used to it, Garo looked inside and found that the room was not large, with over ten golden objects placed inside.

  "Now that I think about it, I haven't really taken a good look at what kind of demon core the undead mage used to cause destruction. After sealing the portal, I didn't come in here either, so let's take a closer look." Bai Ke spoke up and said "Let's go, I'm thinking maybe you can give me some help."

  The three of them walked closer and were immediately stunned! Twelve white gold objects of different shapes were quietly placed there, Luo was amazed by their color, Bai was amazed by their shape, but Galo was amazed by the thick aura of alchemy emanating from these things.

  "This is... a failed alchemy product? But how did it get summoned here? However, this is strange. What kind of material is this made of? It's so special, and to say the least, this thing can even evolve. How is that possible?" Galo's interest was piqued, it had been a long time since he saw something like this, if he didn't study it thoroughly, it would be a waste.

  "Come to think of it, I'll ask a question first, 'Right, Bai Ke, you said he will evolve, what does that mean?'"

  "His evolution, rather than saying it's an evolution, is more like a learning process. For example, when we first started using corrosive dark energy to attack, it was indeed effective, but after that life form lost about one-tenth of its body, it began to be immune to this damage. Later, we used fire to burn, but only at the beginning was it effective, and later it could completely resist. The color changed from green light at first, to cyan after being immune to dark energy, to purple after being immune to fire, to red before the seal, and then to gold after swallowing the magic core, and finally to the current white-gold color after swallowing all the dead spirit mages."

  A few simple words, yet they made Gallo's heart tremble with shock. These several stages, aren't they the five major advancement states of alchemy? But how could they appear on a metal life form? And what does this unprecedented white gold color represent?

  At this time, Bai Ke had also looked around and said, "This is really too exaggerated, this dead spirit master...I don't know what to say."

  Luo turned around the cow's head, and he couldn't see anything special, at most, he just felt that one of them was very beautiful, with a kind of feeling that made himself feel comfortable. Bai shook his head, "This dead spirit master can only be said to be too rich, and very good at hiding things."

  "Can you explain? Why did you say that?" Gallo also stopped thinking for a moment, this thing was too strange, he couldn't figure it out himself, and it was better to listen to what Bai Ke had to say.

  "Bai pointed at the things in front of him, 'Originally, I thought that the Taoist priest would use some different attribute magic cores for fusion, but I really didn't expect him to be so powerful. Look, these two sheep-shaped ones.'"

  Karlo and Luo looked over, and indeed there were two sheep-like shapes. However, one of the sheep had a pair of large curved horns on its head, while the other had a pair of sharp long horns.

  "These two, one is the Tal White Sheep, a rare seventh-level magical beast that grows in the snowy plains, born with the attributes of light, water, and thunder, but has a gentle temperament and is extremely rare. The other is the Shan Luo Dao Sheep, born in the demon realm, this magical beast is high-level dark attribute, and its sharp horns are said to be comparable to the cow horns of the Minotaur tribe, most importantly, they are a kind of ferocious magical beast, judging from their horns, it can also be said that they are seventh-level existences, it can be said that these two are completely opposite monsters."

  "What's that?" Luo suddenly pointed to another one, which was the huge cow-shaped creature he had been paying attention to all along. This cow not only had a pair of horns on its head, but also had sharp thorns all over its four limbs.

  "This is a savage ancient beast, it can be said that it's already an extinct eighth-level ancient demon beast. This kind of cow was previously just a siege weapon, its horns were indestructible, and its whole body was extremely tough. Unfortunately, it's said that they struggled to survive and slowly became extinct. I remember that they seemed to be earth-attribute magic beasts, so they had very high durability and attack power."

  "White, I didn't know you were so knowledgeable." Gallo nodded. In fact, she was also paying attention, but she seemed to feel that the arrangement of these things had a special meaning, and so many shapes seemed to have been seen before.

  "A person who has read books for fifty years and still doesn't understand is impossible, and there's this thing." Bai pointed to a relatively short one, the shape of which resembled a giant crab, but looking at the two huge pincers in front and the sharp thorns all over its body, it was clear that eating such a thing required not only good teeth but also very strong hands.

  "The Demonic Crab that grows in the endless ocean, a dark dual-attribute magical beast and a killer of the sea. Although it's only level 7, sometimes it dares to provoke even level 9 magical beasts. However, surprisingly, few people can hunt this magical beast."

  "Right, and then there's this, the invincible existence on the grasslands, the Blazing Lion. They're solitary creatures with a strong fire attribute, the strongest among 7th-level existences. It's said that their flame density is no less than that of the 9th-level magical beast, the Fire Phoenix. Wow, they're really formidable."

  "Don't underestimate it, the Thunder Dark Scorpion is a deadly assassin with both Thunder and Dark attributes. Don't belittle its poisonous stinger, its power is absolutely stunning, one drop of venom can kill dozens of people."

  "This one is also recognizable, the coral fish in the ocean, this fish has a strange fragrance, only eats coral flowers and aquatic flowers in the sea, no properties, but is called the vampire of the ocean, the illusionist in the water. Don't underestimate this fifth-level demon, its innate blood-sucking ability and illusion power are absolutely not small."

  "Let me think... seven plus five is twelve, but no matter how I look at it, they don't seem like magical beasts to me."

  "Indeed." Bai Ke let out a wry smile. "That's why I said that guy is formidable, the seven magical beasts just now were already very powerful and rare existences, but compared to these five now, they're nothing."

  A girl with a bottle in each hand, you look at her below, not two feet but a fish tail, the legendary mermaid tribe, a race that has been extinct for hundreds of years in history, unexpectedly appeared here, I guess that guy is using this mermaid's mermaid soul as a magic core.

  "This estimate is also, the centaur's centaur archer warrior, and from this look, with a pair of wings on his back, he should be the strongest heavenly centaur archer among the centaurs. You know, this was the only warrior who could fight against dragons in the past."

  Bai Ke shook his head, "Too exaggerated, don't mention the others, these two have already surprised me, let alone the remaining three."

  Karlo looked back, the remaining three shapes were even more unique. One was a double-faced four-handed creature with a strange movement of one side laughing and the other crying. Another was a girl kneeling on the ground with her hands clasped together and a pair of wings growing from her back. The last one was a strange balance scale.

  "Twins Libra!?" Gallo suddenly exclaimed, she remembered why these things looked so familiar, all the connections came together, and finally made Gallo realize that these twelve objects were not made according to the twelve constellations of the ecliptic in the solar system.

  Bai Ke studied it for a moment, "The twin children of the demon world, the angel tribe's trial by the spirit tribe's heavenly wheel, my dear, I feel like my heart is going to start beating again."

  As expected, Gallo has already confirmed it. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, and so on, all exist as the twelve zodiac signs of the Yellow Road, but who would do such a thing in this world?

  Garro observed carefully, moved forward, and his fingers condensed a thread of golden light that touched the scale. In the instant they made contact, Garro was completely certain that the high concentration of spiritual power within this metal life form was entirely a product of alchemy!

  Wait, this balance seems to have a strange feeling, Gallo concentrated all her attention to find it, and finally she found that the spiritual power contained in these things was constantly flowing towards one direction. Hurriedly withdrawing her hand, she looked forward and saw that behind the twelve objects, there was a small golden light bead floating, if not relying on spiritual power, it would be really hard to find.

  Once again, he used his spiritual power to explore, but as soon as he touched the golden bead, Gallo suddenly appeared, terrified, and his spiritual power was sucked away in an instant. He only felt a blackness before his eyes, and his body weakly collapsed to the ground.
