The Dark Moon War is currently urgent. What Chen Rui urgently needs most is to complete the plan for Bai Ling's territory as soon as possible. Before that, he must complete Xikali's commission. Therefore, the migration of Medusa of the Cold Mist Tribe is not in a hurry. He should do some things first.
Preparation.
Under Chen Rui's instruction, the Medusas picked half of the snake blood fruits and gave them to the lanterns. This "harmonious" scene was absolutely unimaginable before.
After obtaining the snake blood fruit, the lanterns finally softened their attitude and led Chen Rui through the mangroves to a cave.
The entrance to this cave is very cleverly disguised. It looks like a huge closed rock. If the lanterns hadn't walked directly through the rock, they would have thought it was an illusion. This kind of camouflage effect can also be achieved with magic circles or dragon language inscriptions.
, but Chen Rui didn't feel any fluctuations in power or elements when he passed by, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
There are more than twenty lanterns in the cave, but the light patterns on their bodies are quite dim. It is obvious that they have a serious lack of energy and cannot participate in the battle.
Ginny came to a strange object, which was about three meters high and seemed to be some kind of delicate instrument.
Ginny put the snake blood fruit into the huge container at the top. Jinsha's hand glowed with brilliance and was input into a switch of the instrument. The instrument began to emit colorful light. Chen Rui noticed that the snake blood fruit in the top container
It disappeared quickly, and two light blue cubes, about the size of a palm, appeared at the exit below the instrument.
The aura of the two cubes made Chen Rui feel very familiar, and when the lanterns saw the two cubes, they all showed surprise.
Ginny placed the two cubes in front of the lanterns. The lanterns all stretched out their hands and pointed at the cubes. The dim and blurry light patterns on many lanterns gradually became clearer. They should be absorbing the energy to recover.
Body.
As the energy passes, the cube begins to become smaller and smaller, and finally disappears.
Ginny and Jinsha did not absorb the energy of the cubes. Ginny said to Chen Rui: "Thank you for your help. If possible, I hope to get those strange spring water to create more energy cubes."
Chen Rui knew that the other party was asking for something from him, so he was naturally not in a hurry to use his chips: "We'll talk about this later. I want to know something about the Loeb mine first. I came to the swamp this time to accept a commission.
I want to investigate and solve the collective disappearance of the miners in the Loeb Mine, and I hope you can give me the answer."
"You have obtained the qualification for the test of inheritance, and we are about to take you to the ruins in the mine." Jinsha said: "We used to live in the ruins of an ancient civilization underground, mining the yuan ore underground to accumulate life energy.
, usually hides in the ruins, rarely shows up, and has no conflict with the miners. - Net. But not long ago, a powerful enemy appeared underground and occupied all resources including Yuan Mine. We have many companions
They were all killed and fell into a deep sleep. They were forced to leave the underground and come to the surface. Due to the shortage of energy, they could only compete with those snake girls for the fruits..."
"What kind of enemy is it?" Chen Rui finally knew the reason why the lanterns "walked out" from the mine and fought with Medusa.
"A very powerful enemy, not very tall." Ginny could not describe the specific characteristics of the opponent at the moment. "He also has many strange servants, all of which have transparent bodies and are not affected by our negative magic... This
This characteristic is very similar to the metal men you took out earlier, and the miners are controlled and enslaved by them."
Short? Transparent body servant? Not affected by negative magic? Control miners mining?
When these keywords were combined together, an image gradually became clear in Chen Rui's mind, and he was shocked: the director of the Loeb Mining Incident turned out to be that "old friend"!
This is definitely not something to be happy about. The last time in the underground crystal mine of Crystal Valley, this "old friend" was not only severely injured by Pagliu and almost lost his life under his planning, but also lost his accumulated wealth.
Thousands of years of huge wealth, it can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army. But Pagliu was there that time. If Chen Rui were to face this powerful dragon enemy at the peak of the Demon Emperor, even if the Yuxing Transformation, Yanlong
Killing, quasi-artifacts, etc. are all out, and there is no possibility of winning.
I originally thought that this mission should not be difficult to complete, but I didn't expect it to be far more difficult than imagined. Chen Rui was thinking about countermeasures when Jin Sha said: "Chen Rui, we can go to the mine now. The ruins are deep in the mine, and there are
Special protection prevents outsiders from entering, even that terrifying strong man."
Chen Rui remembered that the two women had said before that if they could pass the test, they would be able to obtain unimaginable power and wealth. He was moved in his heart, but did not reveal that he knew the details of the enemy. He asked instead: "What if I can get this ancient civilization?"
With our inheritance, can we defeat that terrible enemy?"
Ginny replied: "Before you get the inheritance, I don't have the authority to disclose any relevant information. If you can get the inheritance, you will naturally understand everything. But before we take you to the mine, please give us some manufacturing energy.
Leave pieces of fruit or spring water to our companions in case of emergency.”
Chen Rui could tell that although these lanterns were intelligent beings, they did not have much scheming. The conditions they proposed were just due to their thirst for energy. He immediately nodded and took out something: "I don't know about this thing.
Can it be converted into the energy blocks you need?"
Ginny and Jinsha looked over together. There was a fruit in the palm, about the size of a goose egg, red in color, round and clear, like a gem, exuding a special aura.
This kind of breath is very familiar to Ginny and Jinsha, and they said in surprise: "What a strong breath of life energy! It will definitely be able to create energy blocks with quite high purity!"
Jinsha took the fruit and immediately came to the instrument and carefully put the fruit into the container above. The transformation time of this fruit was longer than that of dozens of snake blood fruits. In the end, one piece of fruit was as big as the previous cube.
A large energy block appears below, but the color is not light blue, but purple.
"Top energy essence!" The lanterns exclaimed and gathered around.
Chen Rui's guess came true and he nodded secretly. The common feature between the snake blood fruit and the fountain of life is a faint aura, and the light blue energy block created earlier clearly emits pure aura, so he took out a spiritual aura.
After being tested by the lanterns, it turned out to be a top-notch energy essence that far exceeded expectations.
Ginny took out the purple-red cube and held it in her hands as if she had found a treasure. A lantern asked in surprise, "Ginny, Jinsha, can we absorb this top-level energy essence to fully restore our strength?"
Ginny and Jinsha shook their heads in unison: "This high-purity energy is much more precious than those elemental ores. It is the most important driving force for the ruins to resume operation. We cannot use it."
As soon as these words came out, all the lanterns looked frustrated. Only then did Chen Rui realize that the power of these lanterns had not really recovered. With a thought, he took out another spiritual fruit: "I still have some of this fruit. First,
Let everyone regain their strength, I hope it can help you."
The lanterns all showed surprise, even Jinsha and Jinni were no exception. Jinsha said excitedly: "Chen Rui, do you really have that kind of magical fruit with high concentration of life energy? What if there are a lot of them?"
If so, not only the sleeping lanterns can be resurrected, but the entire ruins can also be repaired!"
Life energy? This word gave Chen Rui a hint of inspiration that might be related to the super system, but he couldn't explain the reason for the moment.
Facing the expectant looks of the lanterns, Chen Rui answered vaguely: "There are still some, but not many."
Of course he would not hand over all the money. In fact, although he had used spiritual fruits to exchange for a large amount of spiritual energy before, he had accumulated hundreds of them over the past few days.
However, just the answer of "some" made the lanterns cheer in unison.
This time Ginny and Jinsha also participated in absorbing energy. Chen Rui was surprised to find that with the absorption of energy, the appearance of the lanterns was changing. The bodies that were originally a bit close to nothingness gradually gave people a real flesh and blood look.
The texture and light patterns all over the body are also converging, and finally disappear.
Next, a pair of completely naked women appeared in front of them, with light blue skin, silver hair, vermilion lips, a hot figure, and a bare lower body without any hair, giving people a strong alternative look.
Stimulate.
Although Chen Rui is no longer a virgin, he still feels uncomfortable among such a large number of naked women. Fortunately, the sex only lasted for a few minutes, and clothes and decorations began to appear on the lanterns. However, the styles of these clothes were quite revealing.
The ravines are fully visible, and combined with the veil covering the delicate appearance, it looks sexy and mysterious.
It is worth noting that the power of the lanterns after the "replacement" is completely different from before. It seems that they were in a state of lack of energy before, resulting in their inability to exert their true strength.
"Chen Rui, no matter whether the inheritance is successful or not, the elves will never forget your help!" Ginny and Jinsha folded their hands on their chests and led the elves to salute in unison. The elves all had the same appearance and stature.
The difference is the color of the pupils. Ginny and Jinsha are golden, while the others are silvery white and light gray, which are related to their own power level.
Not long after, deep inside the main tunnel of Loeb Mine.
"Be careful, the enemy should be not far away. I can already feel the strange blocking force, but the entrance to the ruins is still quite far away. If I forcefully break in, I'm afraid it will alert the strong man. I have to try to unlock these blockades."
Only the strength is enough."
It was Ginny who brought Chen Rui to the mine, while Jinsha and the lanterns stayed in the cave just in case.
The terrain of the main cave of the Loeb Mine is relatively complex, but its scale is much smaller than that of Mount Xilang. Ginny is extremely familiar with this place, and has a special connection with the "ruins" she calls it. There is no need for magic maps or lighting at all.
With props, you can move freely and quickly in the mine.
"I'll handle this, don't move yet!" Chen Rui also felt the "blocking power" in Jinsha's mouth, which was the breath of dragon language inscriptions, and as expected, the technique of this inscription was familiar.
feel.
Ginny watched in surprise as Chen Rui used a method similar to that strange power, leading her carefully through the blockade and approaching the destination step by step.
In front of a long passage, the two of them heard footsteps coming from the distance. Ginny suddenly took Chen Rui's hand and pressed him against the rock wall. She clung to her back and whispered.
Said: "Don't move!"
This posture is quite inelegant, especially since Ginny's current body is no different from that of an ordinary person. The soft and plump pressure coming from behind made Chen Rui's heart beat suddenly a little faster. Fortunately, he quickly stabilized his emotions.
I saw a group of people walking over in the light ahead.
The most conspicuous ones in the team were a few tall figures covered in crystal clear bodies, who seemed to be supervisors, escorting a group of miners dragging trucks, which were slowly filled with ore.
Sure enough, it was the Crystal Man! Chen Rui narrowed his eyes. The last time the Crystal Dragon Jacob was severely injured by Pagliu in the Crystal Valley, he also used the strange red flower to cause more injuries. Now he must be repeating the same trick and occupying the mine.
Use the ore to treat the injury. However, Chen Rui did not move. He already understood that Ginny used a chameleon-like method to cover up the breath and form of the two people, just like the disguise in the cave where the lanterns temporarily lived.
.
The Crystal Man and the miners passed by the two of them without realizing it. It wasn't until they were far away that Ginny let go of her hand and removed the power of disguise. Chen Rui felt a little embarrassed, but Ginny didn't realize it and continued to hold on.
His hand moved forward.
Passing several dragon language inscriptions along the way, Ginny and Chen Rui finally escaped from the guarding range of the Crystal Man and continued deeper into the ground. Then Chen Rui only felt that the surrounding scenery was changing rapidly, and he did not know how many sections of rock walls he had passed through.
, and even "escaped" into the ground. Finally, the two stopped in front of a huge rock wall.
Ginny's body floated gently, and she pressed on the rock wall in a special pattern. The rock wall emitted seven colors of light, which looked particularly dazzling in this dark environment.
This is a door. There is nothing surprising about its appearance, but it gives Chen Rui a feeling of indestructibility. He has a hunch that even with the peak power of the Demon Emperor, he will not be able to shake this door in the slightest.
"This is the door of inheritance." Ginny said, a colorful light emerged from the tip of her finger, and she clicked on the small cross-shaped keyhole in the center. The keyhole gradually became human-sized, which was exactly the concave shape of a woman's body.
Ginny raised her arms and walked into the concave shape. It turned out that the key to the door was herself.
After Ginny walked into the keyhole, the original thick and solid feeling of the door suddenly gradually became thin and transparent, faintly revealing the unpredictable mist behind it.
"Hurry in, the door of inheritance is open for a limited time, my life will disappear immediately, and everything else depends on you. If you can get the inheritance, you can resurrect me through the heart lamp..."
Only then did Chen Rui know that the price for opening this door of inheritance was Ginny's life. Fortunately, the lanterns are immortal. As long as the heart lantern is not destroyed, they can be resurrected repeatedly with sufficient energy.
Somewhat similar to the Corpse Witch.
He did not hesitate and immediately walked into the door. The moment he passed the door, the scenery suddenly changed. The door disappeared in a blur, and his body was suspended in the void.
A voice rang: "Welcome, comer, are you willing to accept the test of the successor of the alchemical civilization?"
Ancient alchemical civilization? Never heard of it?
Now that Chen Rui walked through the door, he didn't think much more and replied without hesitation: "I do!"
ps: My child’s birthday is today. Looking back, I feel that time flies so fast. Every time the child is older, the parents are older...
