Chapter 462: [Blood-Vein Rock Comprehensive Surgical Bed]

What Alton discovered was a table with a strange shape.

Its overall appearance was similar to a flatter lounge chair, or some kind of movable single bed.

The width of an adult's arm, the length was about seven or eight feet, but what was strange was that compared to the beds in normal houses, the height of this single bed reached the position of a normal person's waist, much higher, as if it were specially designed that way.

The table was made of cold white marble, with a delicate and cold texture, and the surface was covered with dark red natural patterns resembling blood vessels, which naturally meandered and extended downward along the table surface;

The support below was three brass-colored pillars forged from unknown metals, clearly maintained and maintained frequently, with a smooth surface that could not see any signs of oxidation or rust.

It is worth mentioning that on both sides of the marble table, there were several metal devices connected to it:

A slender metal curved rod extended from the top of the table, with a circular copper plate hanging at the end, which could freely adjust the angle, and the surface was polished to be extremely bright;

The middle part extended a metal arm that could also rotate, supporting a shallow circular silver plate, and one could see a large number of fine scratches left by scraping on the surface of the silver plate;

On both sides of the table were also embedded several pairs of metal buckles covered with soft leather, and there were many traces of friction on the surface of the leather.

Compared to the various strange creations that the group of six encountered when they came, unlike those exotic buildings that were embedded in the rock walls like "clipping bugs" and were incomplete, the table in

It had luckily not fused with anything from start to finish, and was currently resting there quietly.

Its bizarre style, which was identical to the other creations, also proved that this tabletop was likely not left behind by the original inhabitants here, but had arrived along with those buildings embedded into the stone walls like a clipping bug.

"Could it be some kind of torture device?"

Lali walked closer to examine it, guessing cautiously.

Her fingers brushed lightly over the center of the tabletop, and accompanying the cold touch of marble against her fingertips was a curve that clearly dipped inward.

The concave curve was designed very ingeniously, just about enough to accommodate the body of an adult, but lying on it would likely not be very comfortable; instead, one would feel a sense of oppressive confinement due to the sunken body.

"These should be the straps used to secure the prisoner's body."

The captain of the *Oath-Breaker*, possessing a head of fiery red hair, looked at the leather and metal buckles on both sides of the tabletop and tried to flip them up from the base. With a *click*, the buckle and ring-lock connected to each other, and one could imagine the scene of a prisoner lying on the table being fixed and locked by the buckles.

"Then is this disc protruding from the side used for placing torture tools?"

The Barbarian Alton, standing nearby, added.

With the introduction of Lali's "torture device" theory, the various seemingly odd designs on the tabletop before them all seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

Xia Nan stood behind the group, not saying a word.

However, his expression could not help but become increasingly strange.

A torture device?

Based on his experience and memories from his past life, this tabletop, which looked like a single bed, was less of a torture device and more like some kind of classical-style operating table.

And the next second, as his attention focused on the tabletop, the attribute panel that appeared in the void beside him proved his conjecture.

……

Xia Nan was not a doctor in his past life and did not know if this type of operating table had applicability.

But even just starting from the five bonus effects on its attribute panel, taken together, this was definitely a very good item.

If compared to the quality levels of enchanted equipment on the Aifala Continent, with this many effects, it would at least be a blue-tier item.

This was precisely the function of the attribute panel, this golden finger of his.

While the professionals accompanying him, whose adventure experience was far greater than his, were still guessing the purpose of this operating table,

Xia Nan had already seen its specific attributes and special bonuses completely and clearly.

He even captured the origin of this operating table through the information revealed in the 【Description】 and 【Remarks】 columns.

"Blood-Vein Rock," "Gold-Ring level expert," "Physician Association."

Xia Nan could be certain that in the nearly two years since he transmigrated, he had never heard of these terms.

Whether it was the material called "Blood-Vein Rock" or an organization like the "Physician Association," he had never heard of them.

This made him even more certain in his heart that this operating table was a product from a Secret Realm.

"Does anyone here recognize this logo?"

The Druid Haian seemed to have discovered something, pointing to a palm-sized logo carved into the side of the operating table.

The specific pattern was a stethoscope pointing vertically downward.

Naturally, no one on the scene would recognize this mark from another world; only Xia Nan guessed that it might be the emblem pattern of that so-called "Physician Association."

For some reason, when she first saw this operating table, Lali showed that she attached great importance to it, leaning in to examine it carefully for a long time, with her gaze especially focused on the metal pillars supporting the tabletop.

But after checking, her face showed a clear disappointment, as if it were not the thing she was looking for.

Xia Nan keenly observed the change in expression of his temporary captain, and in his heart, he vaguely connected this behavior of hers to her sudden decision to interrupt her vacation and accept the bounty to head to the Twin Oceans.

The reason was the same as Edson's—both had discovered otherworldly creations on the black market—but why the disappointment?

Or rather, what was it that she was truly looking for...?

Regarding this point, he had already asked her directly before, but Lali did not answer.

Now, her strange performance regarding this operating table made Xia Nan have some guesses in his heart.

"So... these buildings and items are all from the ancient ruins in the commission?"

Alton reached out and scratched his bald head, looking puzzled as he muttered.

"Maybe?" Haian turned her head to scan the tower next to them that only had half left, her face also filled with confusion. "After all, these things don't look like something the villagers living here could build, and I've never heard anyone mention them before."

"Clearly they appeared suddenly recently, and I don't know if it has anything to do with those Sahuagin."

The mission information from the Association had already stated that there was a suspected appearance of ancient ruins near the Twin Canyons. Seeing these buildings and creations filled with exotic styles in the hollow, it was natural to make such associations.

But the information collected was limited after all, and discussing it like this clearly wouldn't yield any results.

After carefully checking the vicinity once more, they planned to leave and continue deeper.
