Chapter 945: Death Bone Platform
Chapter 945: Death Bone Platform
The four discussed, and Ye Zhongming was eager to see the platform.
Xia Lei looked at the platform that was shifted to the ground and asked Ye Zhongming.
Even the knowledgeable Xia Lei and Guang Yao had never seen this thing. If they met it outside, they might think it was just the bone of a mutated lifeform and wouldn’t believe it was a piece of equipment.
No, not equipment. Xia Lei and the others felt a very calm life force on this thing. If they didn’t look closely, it was easy to miss out on it.
It was a living being.
The Death Bone Platform didn’t look complicated. It just looked like there were many arc-shaped bones growing from the edges of a giant circular bone base. There were many such bones that intersected towards the middle and connected at the center of the platform.
The mother platform was around 50 square meters. Two of those bones were joined to resemble doors.
These all seemed ordinary; at most, their shapes were a little weird. What was shocking was that there were many purple tentacles at the base.These tentacles weren’t huge; each was the size of a brush, and they just looked like magnified mops.
The bottom of the tentacles had suction cups. They didn’t move, just pressing on the ground and supporting its huge body.
The son platform was similar, with the only differences being the size, number of bones, and positions of those bones.
The son platform had only one long bone in the center of the bone platform.
“This is the Death Bone Platform.”
The exact same words, but one was a question, and one was a certain answer.
Ye Zhongming touched the three platforms, and couldn’t hide his excitement. He was just faking it previously.
This was the Death Bone Platform!
In his last life, he didn’t know how many sets there were, but only heard of one owned by a super faction. In this life, maybe that set belonged to him.
Death Bone Platform was a special lifeform, and it wasn’t a piece of equipment.
There was only one function for humans, it was… Teleportation!
In his last life, people found out about this thing by chance. A small faction found the mother platform in the wilderness and brought it back to their camp. They analyzed it for a long time but were confused and didn’t know what to do about it.
They could only leave it there.
One night, everyone disappeared, no matter how strong their defenses were or how many people were on duty.
By chance, a survivor who was out on sentry returned and saw something that terrified him.
He saw a partner walking to the side of the Death Bone Platform and suddenly being sucked over. He flew two meters before falling onto the circular platform. His body started to fade, and he disappeared.
When this person rushed over to see what had happened, that person reappeared. He was still in that fallen state, just that he was thinner.
A second later, that person disappeared and reappeared. And then disappeared!
These dozen disappearances occurred within a minute. When this person appeared for the final time, he had turned into a pile of white bones. Moreover, his bones had become sticky liquid and seeped into the bone platform.
The guard was terrified and exclaimed to get others to come over. He described what had happened. At first, they didn’t believe it, but on the second night, they witnessed it happen.
This faction was called Demon Ghost, so they named it Death Bone Demon Platform.
This equipment was then sold to another faction. They were much stronger and much more technical. After a few months, they understood what this was. A month later, they brought something similar to it back from outside.
As time passed, this thing became more famous, and everyone finally knew what it was.
Death Bone Platform was a lifeform that ate evolved lifeforms. But the way it ate was special. Every night, it would teleport things to absorb their energy. How to teleport? The mother and son platforms were connected. Each time it teleported something, it would absorb some energy until they were sucked dry.
Humans were smart; their research spirits were very strong, too. After breaking this mystery, they didn’t stop. That faction nurtured this thing. Fortunately, it wasn’t too picky. Not only did it eat humans, but it also ate mutated animals and lifeforms. Even if the evolved had a higher level than it, it would lose resistance after a few times and get absorbed.
Finally, they nurtured it to its reproduction stage, and then… It reproduced.
A son platform split from the purple tentacles of the mother platform.
The originally white mother and son platforms then turned to a similar purple as those tentacles.
People noticed that the platform stopped consuming food, but it still had that ability to teleport. One could teleport between the mother and son platform and not worry about having your energy sucked. Moreover, after a few times, the faction understood that the new son platform’s teleportation length of time would increase from the first few days to a few months.
That faction made use of this ‘life equipment’ to do many things and jump into a super faction.
Dangers were everywhere in the apocalypse. Be it the skies or underground, there were dangers everywhere. Mu Xinfei and her caravan spent half a month getting to Cloud Peak, but if it was peacetime, she could have crossed China many times.
This showed how precious teleportation devices were.
Xia Lei and Guang Yao were tempted when they heard Ye Zhongming’s description. After seeing Mu Xinfei’s reaction, they understood that she knew its function.
Looking at the time, that faction probably just understood the function of the Death Bone Platform but it was here with Cloud Peak. WIth Mu Xinfei’s current situation, she couldn’t afford it and that faction wouldn’t sell it.
So how did she get it? The answer was obvious.
Ye Zhongming was deep in thought. No one was innocent in the apocalypse.
Xia Lei suddenly asked, “Since it is a lifeform then where is its demon crystal?”
Ye Zhongming pointed at those purple tentacles.
