"This hole is a bit new..." Lin Chen squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that the hole was dug not long ago.
It did not exist in the past.
Someone got here before them?
"No way." Lin Chen thought of a certain guy and couldn't help but tremble at the corners of his eyes.
Could it be that guy Zhuo Bin?
Zhuo Bin's purpose in coming to this sea of suffering is to crystallize it. He is just joining in the fun of other states competing for hegemony.
Lin Chen still can't see through this person and doesn't know his details. If it were anyone else, Lin Chen would think it would be impossible for him to come here, but according to Zhuo Bin, it's really possible.
"Let's go down and take a look," Lin Chen said.
Zhuo Bin dug directly into the veins and blocked the entrance. Was he planning to directly refine the crystals in the veins to release more power of the soul?
"Okay, okay!" Alice was very interested and jumped in first.
Really brave...
Lin Chen shook his head and followed.
The hole was very deep. It was dug for about a thousand meters. The deeper it went, the narrower the hole became. Lin Chen tried it and found that the crystal stones in the inner layer were stronger. It was no wonder that the deeper the hole was, the smaller it became.
When we got to the back, we had to squeeze in all the way.
Falling to the bottom of the cave, there is a fairly small space. However, this place is not a vein of minerals, but an impurity layer. It is obviously much easier to dig out.
Apparently, it was used as a temporary base.
Lin Chen jumped down, his perception had a clear jump, and sure enough, someone was here.
All three of them knew each other.
"No, you can find this?" Zhuo Bin's eyes widened, he was really surprised.
After all, he didn't leave any marks. It was really amazing that Lin Chen could find this place in such a huge sea of suffering.
Immediately, Zhuo Bin looked at Alice, who fell first, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is it because of this woman?
But where did this woman come from? She doesn't look like a human being.
"It's really you." Lin Chen smiled, and when he saw Yun Jin sitting cross-legged on the ground practicing, his breath was not weak, it seemed that there was no problem, and he felt relieved immediately.
As for Shi Zi Nian, who was also sitting cross-legged on one side, Lin Chen ignored him.
"Boss!!!" Zhuo Bin calmed down, and then his nose and tears flowed together, and he ran over crying and hugged Lin Chen's thigh.
"You finally showed up. Do you know how miserable I was during this period? I almost died in the sea of misery and managed to hide here. Now it's fine. You're finally here!"
Lin Chen snorted.
Zhuo Bin was able to dig a hole to get in in a place like this, which must have made him cry miserably.
This is not something ordinary people can do.
Lin Chen pulled Zhuo Bin away from his legs and asked, "After refining so many bitter sea crystals, you should have recovered a lot, right?" Zhuo Bin sighed, "No way, there is something wrong with the bitter sea crystal here. It is too troublesome to refine it, and the loss is huge. It is of little help to me!"
"Boss, do you have any extra Yin Yang Creation Pills? Give me some. You see, Miss Yun is so well taken care of by me. She is unscathed. She deserves hard work even if she has no credit!" Zhuo Bin said.
Lin Chen ignored Zhuo Bin's words. It was enough to believe half of what he said.
"Lin Chen, Lin Chen, are they all your friends?" Alice's big eyes flickered, looking at Zhuo Bin and others curiously.
"Who is this?" Zhuo Bin looked at Lin Chen.
He could see that Alice was extraordinary, but he didn't know the specific circumstances.
"Mermaid Princess", Lin Chen said.
"The Bitter Sea Mermaid Tribe actually has a mermaid with such an appearance?" Zhuo Bin was very surprised. He coughed and said with a smile, "Little girl, you are not simple. It seems that your bloodline is very good. After transforming, you can have the appearance, even in the ocean."
There are very few among them!”
"Looking at you, you haven't seen much of the world. Just follow me from now on. I will teach you a lot!"
The mermaid princess seemed stunned, so Zhuo Bin pulled her up.
"She is a natural transformation," Lin Chen reminded at the side.
Zhuo Bin knelt down directly and hugged Alice's leg, "Sister, I am your long-lost little brother Zhuo Bin. I will follow you from now on. If you need anything, just give me your orders. I am blinded by swords, mountains and seas of fire."
Without blinking an eye!"
Alice scratched her head and giggled, finding Zhuo Bin very interesting.
Sure enough, not all humans are bad, and they are not naturally hostile to mermaids.
"Hello Zhuo Bin, my name is Alice, and we will be friends from now on!" Alice smiled happily, so beautiful that she seemed to be glowing.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Zhuo Bin nodded, thinking in his mind where did this silly girl come from? She was too innocent.
Alice hummed, looking here and there, looking at Yun Jin and Shi Zi Nian carefully, thinking about what they were doing.
"Boss, this little princess is a little stupid. Was she abducted by you?" Zhuo Bin asked in a low voice.
"It's a long story." Lin Chen didn't intend to explain, but instead asked, "What's your situation here?"
Zhuo Bin smiled and said, "Boss, you also know that I have some secrets. This time, I just used some small tricks to get here."
This is no small trick. Of course, Lin Chen will not get to the bottom of it.
"How much do you know about the situation here?" Lin Chen asked.
"I only know the location of this one, and I don't know anything else. But judging from the excavation, this vein is somewhat special and different from the ordinary Bitter Sea crystal mines." Zhuo Bin frowned.
Naturally, he can also detect weirdness.
There is some kind of power contained in this vein, which has been penetrated, or to put it another way, it can be said to be contaminated.
The deeper you go, the more serious the pollution is!
I'm afraid there's something underneath the veins!
"Boss, you are familiar with the little princess, do you know the specific conditions of this sea area?" Zhuo Bin asked.
"Can't you tell who owns the power of this sea area?" Lin Chen snorted softly.
Zhuo Bin smiled awkwardly and said, "It looks like he belongs to the snake people clan, but it is impossible for ordinary snake people to have this level of power. I am afraid that he is a guy whose blood is close to the ancestor of the snake people!"
"And the ancestor of the snake people, it is said, originated from the deep sea, and was the sea monster Ketuo!"
Zhuo Bin indeed knew a lot.
"She's Ketuo's daughter," Lin Chen said.
"Scinna Gorgon?" Zhuo Bin called, then coughed and said, "I have only heard of the three Gorgon sisters."
"Then do you know what her purpose is here?" Lin Chen asked.
"That's not clear." Zhuo Bin smiled, his expression returned to normal, and then said, "But I have really heard some rumors about Scyna."
"It is said that she once used her mother's name to summon a large number of powerful sea monsters into the array she prepared in advance, and then swallowed the life force of the sea monsters in one fell swoop. Therefore, she was hated by the entire underwater abyss, and Ketuo could not
Don’t expel them!”
"Later, she was surrounded and killed, and she almost died. She fled the ocean and disappeared without a trace," Zhuo Bin said.
Lin Chen's expression moved slightly.
Did Scyna come to this sea of suffering to heal or control her injuries?
Could it be that Scyna is under this vein?
"How about it, boss, should we dig in and take a look?" Zhuo Bin also became interested.
He didn't know who the power here came from before, but now that he knew it, how could he not be curious?
It had to be said that Lin Chen couldn't refuse this proposal. He was also very curious and wanted to know whether the guess was correct.
"Then let's dig," Lin Chen said.
"Yes!" Zhuo Bin nodded repeatedly.
"Mining, mining!" Alice ran over and cheered happily, not knowing where such enthusiasm came from.
After that, the mining project started. The three of them worked together, not too fast, but not satisfied either.
As for the mined ore, the two of them directly refined and absorbed it, which was quite fulfilling!
In this way, it took a full ten days for the secret treasure portal in Lin Chen's soul to be pushed open by half, the power of the domain boiled, and he successfully entered the sixth level of the divine treasure realm!
Strength has grown significantly again!
As for Zhuo Bin, it seemed that he had not changed at all and was still as weak, but Lin Chen's intuition felt that Zhuo Bin is becoming dangerous.
This crystallization of the sea of suffering definitely helped him a lot. In the occasional flash, Lin Chen could even feel the breath of another soul from Zhuo Bin.
It made him tremble!
Walking with Zhuo Bin, I don’t know whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the end!
"Boss, it seems that we are about to dig into the core position!" Zhuo Bin said excitedly.
After ten days of excavation, they continued to dig in the direction of higher pollution concentrations and advanced about a kilometer!
You must know that subsequent excavations will become increasingly difficult, and it is already very difficult to advance a thousand meters.
It was Alice, a little mining expert, who worked tirelessly, otherwise Lin Chen wouldn't be able to do it.
"Are we going to dig up a treasure?" Alice's eyes were bright and she was looking forward to it.
"Yes," Lin Chen nodded, but whether what he dug was a treasure was another question.
I dug a few meters further, but the pickaxe felt like it had lost its focus and dug through!
The front is empty!
"Be careful!" Lin Chen warned quickly.
Alice nodded, very excited, and stretched her head to look inside, while Zhuo Bin narrowed his eyes and took a step back. If the situation went bad, he would run away.
There is no reliable one.
Lin Chen sighed, the crown of space was beating at the moment, the simplified character "jie" was cast, the energy and blood were vibrating, but it was not released, the sword was held horizontally in front, immune to all attacks.
In short, the defense has been pushed to the extreme. At this level, no matter what dangers there are, it can still withstand it for a while!
After digging through the passage, Lin Chen took the lead and walked in.
Inside, there is a large space, but it is very strange. There are gray tubes crisscrossing each other, rushing to one place from all directions.
These gray tubes actually gave Lin Chen the feeling of blood vessels, converging in one place and nourishing something.
Lin Chen became more careful. He walked forward little by little, avoiding these pipelines and not daring to touch them. After all, he didn't know if any accidents would happen.
"What a magical place, what are these?" Alice asked curiously.
"Be careful," Lin Chen just said, unable to answer.
They walked carefully deeper and finally could see from a distance where many pipelines gathered.
The pipelines are intertwined and turned into a nest.
Inexplicable power slowly circulates in the nest, and it is this power that pollutes the mineral veins and the entire sea area!
Now that I have walked here, I can clearly feel the terror. Even Lin Chen feels his scalp is numb at this moment!
"What's in that nest?" Alice blinked, wondering.
"It seems like an egg!" Lin Chen looked surprised!
