Chapter 414: Chapter 293: Awesome, My Ancestor_2

Feng Yi had just examined the zodiac copper coin that, in the process, had released some energy substance. This energy substance was still in a combined state when it was initially released, and it would take some time before it gradually transitioned into a free state.

The energy substance deeply hidden within the meteorite shared a certain common origin with the energy substance within Feng Yi himself!

Simply put, the non-free state energy in the meteorite could have been put there a long time ago, either directly or indirectly, by one of Feng Yi’s ancestral elders.

This made Feng Yi even more curious.

What exactly was the purpose of that ancestor, and how did they manage to embed this energy substance into the meteorite?

And when this energy was put into the meteorite, was it still in the sky, or had it already fallen to the ground?

According to the information provided at the auction, the meteorite had been dug out from a desert.

The meteorite’s formation date was too ancient to know how many years it had existed in outer space.

However, once the meteorite entered the atmosphere, the cosmic rays it was subjected to changed, and it was possible to estimate its age of arrival on earth by measuring its radioactive intensity.

The age of the meteorite’s fall to earth was not very old—it was definitely less than a thousand years old according to the data provided by the experts, even if the measurements weren’t highly precise.

Without a reference, Feng Yi might not have had a clear concept or more accurate speculation.

But now, by using the ancient zodiac copper coin from a thousand years ago as a control group, Feng Yi could determine—

The ancestor who had embedded the energy substance into the meteorite was much more impressive than the elder who had created the copper coin!

They weren’t even in the same league!

Which means, the ancestor who dealt with the meteorite lived in an even more distant past!

Furthermore, if the experts’ estimation of the meteorite’s age of arrival is correct, could it mean that when the meteorite was subjected to this energy, it was in space?

Impressive, my ancestor, ah!

To be able to project energy into a meteorite from afar!

Who was this incredibly powerful person?

Feng Yi felt that, as a frail cub living in an era of scarce energy, he could only look up and worship!

No comparison, truly no comparison.

Just like the current apex pythons, which would have been mere snacks back 60 million years ago.

Feng Yi’s gaze fell back to the meteorite.

Worth treasuring!

Indeed worth treasuring!

If it weren’t for his prior decision to fashion it into a gift for the housekeeper, Feng Yi would have cherished it for himself.

Too excited, the tip of his tail flicked unconsciously back and forth.

Just like some people shake their legs when they’re happy.

Feng Yi looked at the ancient copper coin and the meteorite in front of him.

These twenty million were well spent!

For him, being able to understand more about his ancestors’ power through these items and possibly learn a thing or two was quite a bargain!

But with only these, the information gained was limited.

Perhaps in the future, he should pay attention to those meteorite collectibles—they could provide him with much more useful information.

Not all the energy substance in the meteorite had been extracted.

Feng Yi withdrew his hand.

He thought that his abilities were still limited for now; maybe after he continued to grow and develop, becoming stronger, he might be able to analyze more useful information?

As for the energy substance still within, he would let it stay there. After all, the quantity was not large, and it wouldn’t cause any decisive changes.

The ancient coin and meteorite indeed contained a vast amount of information, but they also left many questions unanswered.

The more he knew, the more puzzled he became.

Feng Yi supported his chin with one hand, lying on his side on the floor, tossing the meteorite up and down with his other hand like a toy ball.

His gaze had no specific focus.

In his mind, he was thinking about the zodiac copper coin, the meteorite, the commonality of the energy substance, and many other things.

Until a wave of fatigue struck him.

"It might be due to overthinking."

Feng Yi had heard people say that fatigue is a signal from the brain, prompting one to stop the current activity and switch to something more enjoyable and relaxing.

Otherwise, overusing the brain could lead to metabolic changes that accumulate harmful substances, affecting the integrity of brain functions.

So...

No more thinking!

He would go roll around on the grassy fields of Yue Mountain!

To properly relax!

The disturbance around here is too much, and the backyard now seems actually not that big. Suddenly, he really wanted to go to a quieter environment in the wilderness and continue thinking.

His spirit was very excited now, but his brain felt fatigued. Anyway, he could not sleep, so he changed into a set of inexpensive sportswear, similar to what many night runners wear.

Before heading out, Feng Yi casually picked up two modern replica copper coins to go out and practice throwing.

It definitely wasn’t okay to do so in his residential area, in order to avoid making any noise, and since the appearance of the little swan, there were more surveillance cameras around, making it easier to be noticed.

The area outside the community, near the scenic spots, also counted as the outskirts. There were hardly any cars on the roads here at this time.

Because of the multiple protection zones near Yue Mountain, these regions had roads, but no streetlights were installed. Therefore, at night, cars were practically non-existent here, as they would detour using another route that had lit up overpasses.

Feng Yi ran toward Yue Mountain for a while, then skillfully avoided various electronic devices, circumvented night surveillance, and the outdoor monitoring cameras set up in the woods.

Once out of the monitoring range, Feng Yi picked up speed, and when running through the woods, he could dash far away in a blur.

He kept going until he reached the depths of Yue Mountain, then continued upward from the mountainside, finding a place with an open view and grassy land.

Feng Yi pushed off with his foot and lunged into the grassy area, then rolled on it.

His entire body sank into the thick grass.

The natural scent of the mountains gradually cooled down Feng Yi’s somewhat heated brain.

To be on the safe side, Feng Yi still did not revert to his original form.

Lying on his back in the grass, he gazed at the sky, resting his arms under his head as a pillow.

In the fifth lunar month, around the Dragon Boat Festival, insects and snakes were all at their most active.

If it were anyone else, they definitely would not dare to run to such a place without taking protective measures.

But Feng Yi didn’t care.

Lying in this spot, and in the surrounding area, the originally lively chirping of insects all became tinged with a sense of probing and wariness.

Feng Yi did not completely conceal his presence because after lying down for a while, he still wanted to try tossing coins.

Lying on the grass and looking up at the stars, Feng Yi thought of the meteorite again.

How did the ancestors manage to hit a meteorite that was so far away so precisely?

Could it be that a meteorite, which was originally going to fall a long time ago, was discovered by an ancestor, who then hit it back up into the sky before it could land?

The meteorite became an ordinary fragment in space, and after many years, due to some reasons, it fell down again?

Thinking about these questions, Feng Yi wanted to throw something with his hand again.

He wanted to grab a small stone, but there were no small stones around. They were all rather large, and throwing one would be too dangerous; even in the wilderness, a large stone falling from a height could damage flowers, plants, or some small animals, which wouldn’t be good.

Feng Yi also didn’t want to dig off a big stone, as that would leave obvious traces.

He got up, found a spot not covered in grass, picked up a clump of soil, and forcefully threw it diagonally upwards.

The direction he threw it in was over a large lake.

Last winter, the little swan often went there to wander around.

The clump of soil was tossed into the air, sailing over the forest, drawing a beautiful parabola under the night sky and the stars’ illumination, and began to fall.

Watching its descent, Feng Yi imagined what it must have looked like when that meteorite struck long ago.

He sighed.

Feng Yi turned around. The clump of soil he had thrown was no longer visible.

However, in his mind, Feng Yi still envisioned the scene of the meteorite falling from outer space.

His fingers traced through the air, simulating their fall and impact with the ground.

"Bang!"

Feng Yi: ...

???

That wasn’t a noise he made!

It sounded more like the noise of a vehicle hitting something!

It came from the direction he threw the clump of soil...

This...

It shouldn’t be possible! Because of the wind direction and the large distance, the information he could gather from scent molecules was limited.

Feng Yi didn’t believe the bang was caused by him; he had clearly aimed for the lake!

Nevertheless, the fact that he had just thrown a clump of soil and then that noise followed made some unpleasant associations inevitable.

A little uneasy.

He still had to go check it out!

You can’t just randomly throw things everywhere!
