221: Mountain-drilling Iron-armored Centipede (Top-grade Magical Weapon)

"What kind of magical artifact is this? It feels a bit strange, doesn't it?"

After putting away the Moon Gazing Rhinoceros Horn artifact, Su Can picked up another peculiar artifact that resembled a centipede.

The artifact wasn't large, about the size of a sweet potato.

Su Can couldn't quite make sense of it from any angle, so he simply activated his Deceit Breaking Eye, golden light emanating from his eyes as he scrutinized it.

However, after observing it for a while, he found that this strange artifact was a seamless whole; even his Deceit Breaking Eye couldn't discern anything special about it.

Especially the surface of the artifact, which was covered in dense, intricate scales, looking at first glance like the armor of a pangolin.

"Since I can't figure it out, I'll just refine it and see!"

Zhao Hao and the others were being watched by the Eagle King and Wolf King, so there was no danger, and he didn't need to rush.

Forming a hand seal and channeling his true essence, Su Can began to refine this peculiar artifact little by little.

To speed up the refining process, he simultaneously poured his spiritual power into it, and the refining speed immediately increased by several folds.

The strange artifact began to hum continuously, emitting rays of profound light, wave after wave.

Upon the profound light, there seemed to be incredibly dense array patterns and symbols, which even with Su Can's cultivation in array formations and restrictions, caused him to feel a jolt.

"This artifact was definitely not refined by the owner of the cave dwelling; it must be a treasure he obtained through a fortuitous encounter."

A look of uncertainty flashed in Su Can's eyes; such a precise, profound, and exquisitely crafted artifact could absolutely not have been refined by the cave dwelling's owner.

Just looking at the Moon Gazing Rhinoceros Horn artifact he refined was enough to tell; they were two completely different refining techniques.

"The sophistication of this refining technique, and the meticulous and exquisite coordination of the array formations, definitely belong to a grandmaster-level array and refining master!"

"Excellent! Once I completely refine this treasure, I'll be able to understand its mysteries, which will be of immense help to my artifact refining and array Arrangement!"

Su Can's expression turned to one of pleasant surprise, as he continuously poured out his true essence and magical power, combined with his powerful spiritual energy, rapidly refining this peculiar treasure.

After a full ten minutes or so, Su Ran was on the verge of falling asleep.

Suddenly, she heard Su Can exclaim in delight, "It's done!"

Buzz!

The moment the sound fell, the peculiar artifact in Su Can's hand suddenly flared with light, then crashed to the ground with a thud, growing to the size of an ox or horse, its body bristling and emitting a faint blue glow, a living, ferocious steel giant beast!

At the same time, Su Can's mind also received a large amount of information about this treasure, including how to control it.

"Drill Mountain Ironclad Centipede!"

A top-grade magical artifact!

It can travel through earth veins, drill through mountains and carve out peaks, search for treasures and mines, with astonishing speed and incredible defense!

"Well, well, it turns out to be an earth vein traversing artifact. Oh, I see! No wonder the owner of this cave dwelling could connect with the earth veins beneath this cliff, set up array formations, and create earth fire. It turns out he might have used this treasure to first open up the earth veins and carve out passages before he could set up such a massive array formation."

At this point, Su Can formed a control hand seal and struck it.

With a boom, the Drill Mountain Ironclad Centipede expanded another fold.

Then, with a refer to of his hand, the giant ironclad centipede actually opened a 'hatch'.

Su Ran was completely bewildered by all of this; she couldn't tell if this was fantasy or science fiction.

A ferocious steel giant beast, and it even had a perfectly sealed hatch?!

"Su Ran, why are you still standing there? Come and experience it!"

Su Can's face was filled with excitement as he ducked into the hatch.

"Oh, oh, I'm coming."

Su Ran reacted and quickly followed Su Can, bowing her head slightly as she squeezed into the hatch.

Upon entering the hatch, it was indeed a world of its own, with a hidden expanse inside.

She had expected a control room like in a sci-fi movie, but instead found it to be entirely crafted from exotic wood, covered with mysterious patterns, looking both beautiful and ancient.

The space inside was quite large, furnished with a single solid wood table and surrounded by Grand Master chairs, perfect for drinking tea and resting.

"This isn't entering a hatch at all; it's practically entering a lounge!"

Su Ran was dumbfounded, her face filled with disbelief, feeling as if everything had surpassed her understanding and shattered her deeply ingrained modern concepts.

"How is it? Not bad, right? I never thought there could be such a profound magical artifact in this world. It seems I've underestimated this vast world and its myriad beings!"

Su Can sighed repeatedly.

Although he possessed the most top-tier Daoist Nine Secrets inheritance, in terms of application and expansion, there were still heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people.

At least he, having obtained the Zu Zi Secret, had never thought that artifact refining could be done and applied in such a way.

In other words, the appearance of this Drill Mountain Ironclad Centipede had once again taught him a lesson and opened a new door for him.

"The wisdom of humanity is indeed infinite!" Su Ran was also deeply shocked by everything she saw before her eyes.

"Alright, I'll take you to experience the powerful and magical aspects of this treasure. Let's go!"

Su Can, having acquired the methods of operation and control, moved to the front, his expression showing excitement and exhilaration.

The front part was a small control panel, but it was entirely controlled by array formations, serving as the array core and array eye.

In front of him was also something resembling a bronze mirror, through which he could monitor everything outside, and it was a 360-degree, no-blind-spot view.

"Good stuff, this is truly good stuff!"

Su Can praised continuously, pressing his large hand onto the array sphere in front of him, as a rich true essence surged into it.

"Stand firm, we're off!"

As Su Can's excited declaration fell, the entire massive artifact, propelled by the array formation, hummed and spewed out a large amount of profound light.

Then, a ferocious steel giant beast was seen rushing out of the cave dwelling at an incredibly high speed.

This beast was incredibly massive, yet its movements were silent and its joints incredibly flexible, making it essentially a land-based flying vehicle.

In the blink of an eye, the two had reached the base of a mountain.

Su Can, seeing this, formed a hand seal, and the Drill Mountain Ironclad Centipede immediately came alive, bending its body and drilling into the ground with a rumbling sound, as if digging a hole.

And the speed was simply astonishing; in a blink of an eye, a deep hole was drilled at the base of the mountain.

Inside the Drill Mountain Ironclad Centipede's belly, Su Ran looked through the bronze mirror and saw the earth churning outside, rocks flying, and a winding underground passage with nine turns and thirteen bends being opened. Her mouth dropped open in shock.

Especially since there was a tremendous rumbling sound outside, creating a huge commotion, yet they were inside the ironclad centipede's belly, as stable and quiet as if watching television.

In just a short while, the entire mountain base was perforated with passages, some going up, some going down, layered and intricate, like a labyrinth.

And all the shredded and broken mountain soil and rubble were collected by the Drill Mountain Ironclad Centipede into an array space at its tail.

The moment Su Can controlled the Drill Mountain Ironclad Centipede to emerge from the ground, its tail flicked up like a scorpion, and it spewed out piles and piles of broken soil and rubble.

"This is simply a divine object!"

Su Ran, pulled by Su Can, stepped out of the hatch and stared at the piles of waste soil and rubble, remaining stunned for a long time.
