Legacy: Miracle

Chapter 287 The inheritance of the crystal beast bloodline

In a hidden camp somewhere deep within the expedition's mines, in a simple laboratory constructed from fluorescent stone, Arya was absorbed in studying the crystal beast cub before her. Ever since the expedition's discovery, this cub had captured everyone's attention with its unique bloodline. A faint glow flowed beneath its fur, as if imbued with some unknown power.

"Arya, are you sure this cub's bloodline is truly unique?" Yun Yi stood aside, his eyes filled with curiosity and worry. He knew that exploring the unknown always came with risks, especially when it came to such a mysterious crystal beast bloodline.

Arya looked up, a determined glint in her eyes. "I'm certain, Yun Yi. An ancient and powerful power flows in its veins. If this power can be properly stimulated, it may bring great assistance to our team."

Upon hearing this, Kevin couldn't help but move closer, his eyes filled with excitement. "So what are we waiting for? Let's quickly find a way to activate this power!"

Although Feng Wuhen remained silent, his eyes told Arya that he was also full of anticipation for this matter. The members of the expedition team gathered in a circle, casting expectant glances, as if waiting for a miracle to happen.

Arya took a deep breath and unfolded the ancient tome in her hand. It contained densely packed records of knowledge regarding the crystal beast bloodline. "According to these ancient tome, to unleash the power of the crystal beast bloodline, a special ritual is required. This ritual utilizes the power of runes to channel the potential within the cub."

Yun Yi frowned. "Runes? This isn't a skill that can be mastered easily. Are you sure we can pull it off?"

Arya smiled faintly, her eyes brimming with confidence. "Of course, there are many experts proficient in runes among our expedition team, and I've already developed a rune array suitable for this cub. However, the process may be somewhat dangerous, so we need to be fully prepared."

Over the following days, the expedition team divided the work and busily prepared everything needed for the ceremony. Yun Yi was responsible for collecting rare materials, Kevin assisted Arya in setting up the rune array, and Feng Wuhen was responsible for protecting the camp and ensuring that the ceremony was not disturbed by the outside world.

Finally, on a moonless night, the ceremony began. The laboratory was illuminated by fluorescent stones, making it as bright as day. The cub was placed in the center of the rune array, surrounded by runes that shone with mysterious light.

Arya held a jeweled staff in her hand and began to channel the power of the runes. As her incantation grew louder, the runes began to emit a dazzling light, and waves of energy rippled through the laboratory.

"Hold on, little one." Yun Yi clenched his fists and cheered for the cub in his heart. He knew that this process was undoubtedly a huge test for the cub.

However, at the crucial moment of the ritual, an unexpected event occurred. A powerful backlash of energy suddenly struck, instantly knocking Arya's staff away and sending her back several steps.

"Arya!" Kevin exclaimed, rushing forward and supporting the shaky Arya. The rune array in the lab also began to become disordered due to the loss of control over the energy, and the cub let out a painful wail.

"Quick! Stabilize the runes!" Yun Yi reacted quickly, swinging his sword at the runes that were about to lose control, trying to stabilize them again. Feng Wuhen also joined in, his figure moving between the runes like a ghost, using his superb skills to repair the damaged array.

After some hard work, the rune finally stabilized, and the cub gradually calmed down. Arya stood up with Kevin's help. Although her face was full of fatigue, her eyes flashed with an unyielding light.

"We...we've taken the first step successfully," Arya panted. "But this is only the beginning. It will take more time and effort to fully unleash the power in the cub's bloodline."

Yun Yi nodded, his eyes firm and penetrating. "It's alright, Arya. Our expedition team is never afraid of difficulties. As long as we unite as one, there's nothing we can't overcome."

In the days that followed, Arya and the expedition team continued to experiment and improve the ritual. They experienced countless failures and setbacks, but each time they learned valuable lessons.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, when the laboratory was once again illuminated by the fluorescent stone, the cub's bloodline was finally fully aroused. A dazzling light burst from its body, and a powerful wave of energy reverberated throughout the laboratory.

"Success!" Arya shouted excitedly. She looked at the cub before her, her eyes filled with relief and pride. The other members of the expedition team cheered, knowing that this cub would become their most powerful force.

The cub seemed to sense everyone's joy, leaping with joy, its glow as bright as the stars. Yun Yi walked over and gently stroked the cub's fur, feeling the power surging within it.

"From today on, you are a member of our expedition team." Yun Yi said with a smile, "Let us explore more unknowns and create more miracles together!"
