Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 104 The Secret of the Construction Site
Draal took a deep breath, as if to calm the resentment in his heart, and after a long time, he reluctantly spoke.
"Can you untie me first?" Draal gestured to his feet, apparently referring to Xia Zuo's soul trap.
"I believe that with your strength, you won't worry that I will be able to escape under your eyes, right?" Draal continued.
"Moreover, there are many things on this construction site that I have no effect on just saying here, such as the place where the secrets of this construction site are buried, and you always need me to lead the way. β
"Hehe, too. Fred smiled slightly, and then looked at Xia Zuo, who still maintained an unfathomable look next to him.
Xia Zuo nodded slightly, and with a thought, his golden eyes lit up, and he withdrew the soul trap that trapped Draar.
β...... Sure enough, it's still so comfortable. Draal was not bound by the soul trap, moved his hands and feet slightly, and muttered to himself, his eyes flowing with inexplicable emotions.
"Now you can say it, right?" asked Natsuzo.
"That's it. Draal nodded reluctantly, "You want to know where my power comes from, don't you?"
"Then I'll get straight to the point. β
"I found a strange black stone, or crystallization, at this construction site. β
"I've worked as a miner in the Karen Mountains, and I've seen a lot of ore, but I've never seen this black crystal. β
"This translucent black crystal is so strange that when I first discovered it, it was even shimmering, making a sound like some kind of creature breathing, and it had an unusually hard shell. β
This peculiar black crystal naturally caught my attention, even though it startled me at first. β
"I was already very tired at the time, so I decided to take this black crystal in my pocket and take it back to my residence before studying it. β
"Maybe it's some kind of rare special ore?"
"When I got back to my accommodation, I fell asleep because I was too tired, and the black crystal was placed next to my bed. β
"But the next day, when I remembered the black crystal, I noticed that its size had suddenly changed. β
"It's getting smaller. β
"I remember it very well. β
"Originally, it was about the size of a fist, but the next day it was the size of an egg. β
"It was a surprise to me. β
"But soon, something even more surprising happened to me. β
"I was looking for a glass of water to drink to calm down, but the moment my hand held the cup. β
"The cup was shattered by my hand. β
"And my hand was almost unscathed. β
"My physical strength has been enhanced. β
"This is an indisputable fact. β
"The next thing I touched was damaged to varying degrees because I didn't have enough control over my power. β
"I was shocked, and in addition to being shocked, I naturally suspected the body of this black crystal. β
"I suspect it's this black crystal that gives me this perverse power. β
"After all, this kind of power can't always appear for nothing. β
"I'm sure I haven't encountered anything strange recently other than picking up this black crystal. β
"With that in mind, I began to look at this black crystal. β
"If my strength increases, there is a relationship with the decrease in the mass of this black crystal...... So can I eat this black crystal to get more power?"
"This crazy idea quickly ran into my head. β
"Even I couldn't figure out why I suddenly had such an abnormal thought. β
"I was fascinated by this extraordinary power. β
"But it's too dangerous to swallow crystallization alive. β
"After some struggle, I decided to repeat what I did yesterday and keep this black crystal by my side when I go to bed at night. β
"This night, I unexpectedly slept very peacefully. β
"Day 3. β
"I noticed that the size of this black crystal had shrunk a bit, and at the same time, the strength in me had become stronger. β
"At this moment, I was convinced that it was this black crystal that gave me this extraordinary power. β
"I put this black crystal close to my body until it shrunk to the point where it was gone. β
"At this point, I have obtained all the power of this black crystal, and I have a power far beyond ordinary people that I never dared to imagine in the past. β
"That's where the strength in me comes from. Draal said.
Hearing this, Xia Zuo couldn't help but nod to Dral.
According to the information that Xia Zuo knew, eighty percent of the black crystals that Draal picked up were the same thing as the black crystals that Xia Zuo and the others obtained, that is, the crystals of the dragon scales of the subspecies black dragon.
The black crystal that Draal picked up may have been accidentally left behind at the site by some ghost, but it is more likely that it was the result of a newly lost scale of the recent subspecies Black Dragon.
It's just that the essence of both is actually the same.
They are all transformed by the scales of the subspecies black dragon, and the essence of the subspecies black dragon is a pure soul creature, that is to say, Dral is in a sense equivalent to accidentally picking up a materialized soul substance.
An embodied soul that can be directly touched by ordinary things.
It's just that compared to the black crystal they got from the soul ghost, the state of this black crystal seems to be more unstable, so that it will accidentally merge into Dral's body in such a short period of time, making Dral the host of this soul quality, thus becoming an acquired soul descendant.
It seems that the possibility of the subspecies black dragon hiding here before is indeed very high, but now it is estimated that it is not there.
How could a high-IQ soul creature like a dragon be waiting for a soul descendant here?
"Where did you pick up that black crystal?" said Arnos, striding at Draal intently.
This is undoubtedly a very critical issue.
The place where Draal picked up the black crystal is likely to be very close to the place where the previous subspecies black dragon was hiding.
β...... This is a hassle to say. Draal paused, his eyes glinting with an eerie light, and said slowly.
"Huh?" Fred smiled at Draal when he saw this, "What's the trouble?"
"I just don't know what to call that place, but I think it's better for me to lead the way. Draal said, rolling his eyes.
"Yes. Anos bowed slightly.
"Huh...... Don't think about playing any tricks. Fred smiled at Dral, his purple eyes half-narrowed.
"I don't dare to play any tricks in front of you monsters. Draal shrugged, then turned away, wondering where he was looking at Constrang's construction site.
"I'll lead the way. β
"Follow me. β
Draal finished speaking, and walked forward at an unhurried pace.
Then everyone looked at each other and followed in Draal's footsteps.
Following the path led by Dral, the group soon came to the foot of an unfinished building, a half-finished building that seemed to have been left behind a long time ago, and for some reason was not completed.
At this time, Griman explained a little, letting everyone know some information about the building.
The project was contracted by Dral himself after an unexpected stoppage, with Dral as the foreman.
"I won't say much, there's nothing peculiar about the building itself, and the next thing is the main play. β
Draal explained to the others before moving towards the building.
Xia Zuo and the others walked along Draal's path, keeping an eye out for any unusual behavior to prevent Draal from escaping.
Despite the process, Ridral, he didn't seem to show any signs of wanting to escape.
A moment later.
Xia Zuo and his party followed Draal to a deep pit, the light next to the pit was dim, but they could still roughly see the deep pit, the pit was not bottomless, but the depth was relatively deep, and there seemed to be something under this pit.
"And now, how are you going to lead the way?" Arnos asked.
Xia Zuo was also curious, what was he doing in front of this pit? Is it implying that he wants to bury us all? uh...... This guy shouldn't be able to use this method to show his displeasure.
That is to say...... Did he pick up that black crystal near this pit, or in the pit??
How did he do it? Fall into the pit and pick up treasures...... Isn't this the routine of a legendary adventure story?
"This pit was dug by the workers who were in charge of the site before, and of course, by the workers who are now in charge. β
"Originally, the workers wanted to build a sewer under the ground. β
But now it's an accident. β
"An accident with a secret hidden. β
"There is something hidden in this pit that can shock the world. β
"My black crystals were accidentally picked up when the pit wasn't that deep. β
"After I was in charge of the site, the pit had this depth. β
"If you dare, come with me, so you might know all the secrets about this site. Draal glanced at everyone and said slowly.
"Yo, it's naΓ―ve. Fred couldn't help but smile, "But I took it." β
"Lead the way. β
"That's fine. Draal turned his head to look at the pit, took a deep breath, and then descended the ladder that had been set up long ago.
At the same time, the people of the Night Veil followed Draal down the ladder.
Xia Zuo and his party were not worried that they would mistakenly fall into Dral's trap or something.
In the face of absolute power, no matter what tricks he plays, Draal will only be useless.
The only ones left were the three of the Shadow Order and Riley and Panis from the council headquarters, and Griman went down with the others.
The three members of the Shadow Order consciously did not enter with Xia Zuo, because they all knew that this kind of exploration was really not suitable for them, and Riley and Panis, who were from the council headquarters, were not strong in combat and needed their protection.
For various reasons, despite the "impatience" in their hearts, the three people of the shadow order still endured it and stayed outside.
After Xia Zuo and his party jumped into the pit with Dral, they soon found that there was still a way to walk at the bottom of the pit.
Yes, one way.
Draal stood at the intersection.
Draal turned his head and saw that Xia Zuo was followed by so many people, shook his head with a little regret, and then continued to lead the way.
Everyone walked along this road, and the further they went, Xia Zuo found that the road in front of them was very narrow, only enough for about three people to pass at the same time, but the width of the road behind them increased significantly, and even enough for everyone to pass at the same time.
After walking this road, Xia Zuo and his party really entered the underground space of this building.
It's an unusually large underground space.
It seems like it existed a long time ago.
After entering this underground space, Xia Zuo found a large number of ancient buildings, which were covered with dust, and the glory of the past had long since dissipated, leaving only a piece of dust of history.
"This is ......," Xia Zuo's mind couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration.
"The underground ruins left by that civilization back then!"
