Just watching the clip in the movie, many people should think that Xingjue found the universe spirit ball without much effort.

actually not.

It seems that he found the right place once, because before arriving at the abandoned temple, Xingjue had already been to other places, and through tireless search and analysis, he found a lot of directional information. Then, he was able to find out what to do in a targeted manner, and went to the door accurately.

To put it bluntly, it is because there is sufficient accumulation first, so it is easy to perform in the last link.

Look at this moment again.

Walking into the sealed stone room, Xingjue lit up the lantern again.

Unlike the passageway outside that was full of slime mold, perhaps because it had been sealed tightly before, no trace of slime mold was found in this nearly 300-square-meter stone chamber. Both the environment and the surrounding smell are much better than outside.

However, because of the shock caused by the explosion just now, a lot of floating dust was stirred up in the stone room. After being illuminated by a lantern, there is still a foggy feeling.

Not liking the feeling of being choked, Xingjue deliberately didn't remove his mask.

With the light on, he began to search in the stone chamber. The first thing Xingjue noticed was the large relief on the stone wall in front.

Stepping forward, holding up the lantern in his hand, Xingjue carefully examined the reliefs. After a few minutes, he probably understood what was going on—as expected, the ruins were originally a religious building. And the relief in front of me tells the myths that the Morag people believe in.

It is worth mentioning that on this relief, which is seven or eight meters high and more than 20 meters long...to be precise, a spherical object that looks like an artifact is carved in an area near the lower right corner.

After comparing the information in his hand and various speculations made after learning about the history of the Morag people, Star-Lord immediately made a judgment.

If there is no accident, the spherical object recorded on this relief should be the cosmic spirit ball he was looking for.

Concentrating, Xingjue came to the lower right corner of the relief and carefully observed this small piece.

"Well, the one at the front looks like a priest, and the group of people behind should be the accompanying guards."

"I encountered a lot of difficulties on the road, and finally escorted the artifact to the destination."

"The person who received the artifact is taller and more gorgeous. Well, he is either a high priest with a higher status, or a member of the royal family."

"After the artifact was handed over to the 'high priest', all the escorts died? What's going on... Wait, looking at this posture, it seems that they committed suicide. Could it be that it was to conceal the whereabouts of the artifact, so the gang Did people take the initiative to be martyred?"

It is not indicated where the artifact was eventually sent, and the story on the relief ends here.

It felt like I was watching it with great enthusiasm, but suddenly the chapter was broken and there was no more text. After studying the relief in front of him, Xingjue couldn't help feeling restless, and he was in a bad mood.

In order to divert attention and also want to find some other information, Xingjue started searching again.

This time, he focused on the right side of the stone chamber.

On the naturally natural stone wall, rectangular grooves of the same size were chiseled one after another neatly arranged. In the bottom row of grooves, there are various bottles and cans, and there are also some decayed metal utensils. You don't need to check carefully, just look at the shapes of these things, and you can probably guess that they should be ritual vessels that need to be used in certain ceremonies.

But in the three rows of stone troughs above, there are many stone slabs. Most of them are neatly arranged. At first glance, they look a bit like bookshelves in a library. There are also a few stone slabs stacked up in stone troughs, which look not so neat. In addition, there are very few stone slabs facing forward, placed like tablets in ancestral halls.

The walls and stone troughs are blue-black, but the stone slabs placed in the stone troughs are as earthy yellow as sandstone. If you look closer and more carefully, you can still see golden shimmers in these stones used to carve the slabs.

"If the Sovereigns see it, they will definitely like this thing." Xingjue wrinkled his mouth as he weighed the slate in his hand.

Unable to understand the words engraved on the stone slabs, Xingjue could only use a stupid method, picking out those engraved with pictures from so many stone slabs, and looking for useful clues from them.

It's not an easy job.

It's not that the stone slabs are heavy, and it's very laborious to sift through them piece by piece. The key lies in the number of these stone slabs... Looking around, even if it is less than four figures, there must be a few hundred dollars.

"Really... well, take your time." Sighing, Xingjue started to work.

How to screen each piece, and how to analyze the pictures left on the slate, will not be described in detail here. In short, in order to find useful information, Xingjue stayed in this stone room for two full hours.

After moving hundreds of stone slabs, my arms are really tired. Plus it took a lot of mental effort to recognize the pictures...

By the time this task was over, Xingjue was already out of breath and almost unable to stand.

There is a saying that heaven pays off.

After being tired for two hours, it can be regarded as a little gain.

After resting for a while, I sorted out my mood and took a breather by the way. Xingjue got up with a little effort, bent down and picked up the three stone slabs left by him, and flew out of the stone room with a shake.

Back on the Miranda, he put the slate in the corner, and Xingjue got himself something to eat first.

Paired with the beer from Shi Xiaolei before, and listening to those old songs that are so familiar to him, it took a quarter of an hour for Xingjue to comfort his stomach.

After resting and recovering mentally, Xingjue came to the cockpit and started the Miranda to take off.

No clues were found on the reliefs, but the three stone slabs brought back ~lightnovelpub.net~ allowed Xingjue to find some information and know where to go next.

In this way, one place after another, following the clues, after two days, Xingjue finally arrived near the abandoned temple where the universe spirit ball was stored, just like in the original plot.

Note that it says 'nearby'.

It's not like in the original plot, the spaceship is directly parked only one or two hundred meters away from the main hall.

This is why?

The reason is actually very simple, purely because Xingjue didn't choose the right time to come here this time, or to put it more bluntly, he came earlier than in the original plot.

The time is different, and the situation encountered will naturally be different.

It's not that other people appeared near the abandoned temple, so Xingjue deliberately stayed away. What really made Xingjue wary and dare not approach at will was actually the large group of wild animals entrenched around the temple.
