Chapter 291: Fusion of Fragments
Luo Yan reached out and held the ‘Primordial Stone Fragment’ in his hand, but like before, this diamond-shaped crystal had no reaction.
He sighed lightly, “Could it be that my Divine Hidden Art can no longer break through?”
“Or perhaps, it needs something else to stimulate it in order to continue breaking through?”
Looking at the piece in his hand, Luo Yan certainly wouldn’t miss it. Even if he couldn’t use it himself, he could exchange it for contributions at the army or the ‘Giant Beast Strategy Manor’.
Or, he could give it to Bai Chou. Up to now, Luo Yan hadn’t had a chance to repay her for saving his life.
Thinking this way, Luo Yan took out a palm-sized metal password box from his pilot suit, containing another ‘fragment’.
Unlocking it with his fingerprint, the box popped open, and Luo Yan placed the two ‘Primordial Stone Fragments’ together.
When these two items were put together, they both vibrated at the same time. Then, like magnets being attracted to each other, they suddenly stuck together.
The touching parts instantly blend together like milk and water, permeating into each other. Both ‘fragments’ emit a faint clear light, and a subtle floral fragrance fills the air.
The yin-yang pattern on the ‘fragment’ now turns into a glowing light, layer by layer unfolding as if made up of countless stacked shapes.
Within each layer of shapes, there are hidden messages beyond human understanding, an incredibly vast amount of information. As these layers further break down, they form countless symbols that almost fill Luo Yan’s vision!
Looking back at the two ‘fragments’ in the box, they have completely merged into a transparent, jelly-like object.
The object twists and reshapes, and after a moment, it turns into a sphere about the size of an eyeball.
The symbols swirling in the air gather into patterns, orderly imprinting into the small ball.
Layers upon layers overlap, eventually forming a symbol similar to ancient script.
It seems to be a form of writing, but unfortunately Luo Yan doesn’t recognize it, only able to sense the hidden meanings of yin-yang within the symbol, which differs from the design on the ‘Primordial Stone Fragment’.
This symbol now appears to hold a deeper significance than the previous pattern.
In other words.
After merging two ‘Primordial Stone Fragments’, a higher-level entity should have formed.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan held his breath, reached out his hand, and gently touched the spherical object in the box.
In an instant.
The symbols inside the sphere, the countless intricate patterns, lit up instantly, and the crystal ball floated up into the air, reaching eye level with Luo Yan.
Suddenly collided with the center of his forehead.
Luo Yan instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too fast. Before Luo Yan could react, it was imprinted on his forehead.
Then the crystal clear sphere seemed to melt like ice under the sun’s rays, leaving only the ancient mysterious symbol imprinted on Luo Yan’s forehead, gradually sinking into his skin bit by bit, and finally disappearing.
The next second.
A small bright light appeared on Luo Yan’s forehead, then the light spread, illuminating all the capillaries and nerves in Luo Yan’s body, forming a mysterious pattern.
This process was very fast, almost in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Yan returned to normal, showing no signs of anything unusual.
However, it was undeniable that the two pieces in the password box had disappeared.
Just then, Luo Yan heard the sound of a car outside the train carriage.
Luo Yan put away the password box, closed the briefcase, and went outside to the truck.
Tanks stopped around them, the doors opened, soldiers got out in an orderly manner, quickly spreading out to form a defense line.
Soon, a group of people approached. A man with a square face led the way, and a young woman next to him introduced Luo Yan, “This is Commander Hu Yu Hu, the head of the Guangling Armed Forces.”
Hu Yu nodded and looked at Luo Yan, asking, “You didn’t lose anything inside, did you?”
Luo Yan replied simply, “No.”
“That’s good,” Hu Yu said lightly, “Thank you for your hard work. We will take care of things from here, so the military doesn’t need to be troubled.”
Luo Yan didn’t say anything and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, a capable woman behind them cleared her throat and said, “Wait a moment.”
Luo Yan turned around to look at her.
The woman with stylish short hair spoke expressionlessly, “As usual, we need to perform a necessary inspection on you, especially since you just entered an important supply truck.”
“Now, please take out everything on you and cooperate with our work.”
Luo Yan’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
His thumb was already on the hilt of the ‘Crack Star’ sword, ready to draw the sword at any moment.
“Be polite, Little Lin.”
Hu Yu spoke up at this moment.
Looking towards Luo Yan again, “Please don’t be upset, Little Lin didn’t mean any harm, it’s just her responsibility.”
“But I believe in you, believe in the Corps.”
“Please go about your business.”
Luo Yan nodded then.
He returned to his own mecha and headed back to the battlefield.
Watching the mecha leave, Hu Yu said solemnly, “Check the items on the vehicle, compare them to the supplies list we received at the base, see if the Mecha Master has been taking more than they should.”
The capable woman, Little Lin, nodded and retrieved a tablet, leading a team of soldiers onto the truck.

Forbidden Area Number 3, Misty Canyon.
Since the heavy rain that night, people who entered the forbidden area found that it seemed much quieter than usual.
Usually, even those who were just near the edge of the forbidden area would hear the roars of giant beasts coming from deep within the forbidden area.
However, recently, although similar roars have not completely disappeared, they have become much fewer. Sometimes, after a whole day, you would only hear three or two beast roars.
Forbidden Area The Third District, Medicine Valley.
This place, once occupied by ‘Black Waves’ company, is now jointly managed by ‘Hanli Pharmaceutical Company’ and several other herb companies, while also being open for other companies to exploit.
You just need to pay a fee to enter the Medicine Valley to mine raw materials. This will make the Medicine Valley busier than before.
Today, Yang Likai personally inspected the Medicine Valley. Now, this Medicine Valley has become the company’s biggest money maker. Even if “Hanli Company” doesn’t mine herbs, they can still make a lot of money just from quarterly dividends.
Standing in the new office building, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the busy scene in the Medicine Valley, Yang Likai sighed, “It would be great if Classmate Luo was here too. This is the ’empire’ we built together.”
He continued talking to himself, “No, Yang Likai, you can’t be proud. It’s easy to fail when you’re young and successful.”
“As a person, you should have a broader vision and bigger goals. You’re too proud of just a Medicine Valley. How can you compare to Classmate Liu as a close friend?”
“Let’s set a small goal. Our company ‘Hanli Pharmaceuticals’ aims to monopolize the business of herbs in the entire Misty Canyon!”
He nodded.
Just then, the alarm in the office building suddenly went off.
The loud alarm made Yang Likai freeze for a moment, then the announcement came on, “Attention! Attention!”
“There are traces of a giant beast in the Third Alert Zone of Medicine Valley!”
“The Third Alert Zone has been breached!”
“The Third Alert Zone has been breached!”
Yang Likai turned pale and quickly walked away, taking out his phone as he walked, “Quick, prepare the vehicle, I need to leave immediately.”
After explaining the matter, he put down his phone and sighed, “If Classmate Luo were here, I would have more confidence. I don’t trust the other guys.”
“However, Zhou Ming from Medicine Valley Four has already installed an expulsion system that releases high-frequency sound waves detested by giant beasts 24 hours a day.”
“I spent a lot of money on this system, so why is it malfunctioning?”
“Or could it be a middle-ranked giant beast that has arrived?”
Thinking about this, Yang Likai quickened his pace. If it was a middle-ranked giant beast, the old model mechas in Medicine Valley wouldn’t be able to stop it at all.
