Chapter 159: Crystal
I don't know how long it took to fly downward, Zhou Chen estimated that it should be more than an hour, and the scene in front of him finally changed.
This is not a real bottomless pit after all, but an entrance passage to the secret realm of the abyss, and the passage always has an end.
Phewββ!
After passing through the last section of the passage at high speed, it suddenly became clear that it was not only the red and black light that dazzled the eyes, but the environment that turned into a variety of colorful crystal stones.
Da!
Zhou Chen's figure suddenly stopped, withdrew the Qingfeng technique used for flying, and stood gently on the ground on his toes.
Looking left and right, the field of vision is far away, with Zhou Chen's beyond ordinary people's eyesight, he can only see a boundless crystal terrain.
The ground was black with countless cracks, and red magma flowed from the cracks, and every ten or so paces, a cluster of crystal stones would grow from the ground, roughly shaped like a cactus in the desert.
Zhou Chen frowned slightly, raised his head and looked at the passage above. Just as he had looked down from above, he could now see a large deep hole with a red-black glow from it.
Originally, Zhou Chen thought that at the end of the bottomless pit, there was the source of red and black light. But now it seems that there is no light source at all, and how the red and black light came from cannot be explained by Zhou Chen's knowledge.
But Zhou Chen didn't care about this either.
"Brother, where are we going?"
The voice of life in my head came.
"Just find a direction. β
Zhou Chen couldn't sense the red key at all, not even the black key in the center of his soul. A total of two times, it was Zhou Chen who directly touched the red key with his hand before he reacted. This is exactly the same as the black key does not replenish energy every time, it only needs Zhou Chen's own body to contact the energy source before it can absorb energy.
"That red key is already a turtle in an urn, and I don't believe it has the ability to break through this secret realm and escape. β
Since he didn't know where it was, Zhou Chen was not in a hurry, just find a direction and look for it first.
In fact, the sudden appearance of the red key this time was really unexpected for Zhou Chen. Originally, he was ready to spend three or four hundred years like in the martial arts world when he was looking for the Heavenly Stone Divine Soldier.
However, it seems reasonable to think about it a little, and the opening of the secret realm this time can be described as a grand event. The warriors of the three large countries surrounding the desert, as well as several small countries, all gathered here, so it is not surprising that there are people who have obtained the red key mixed in.
"According to the information given by the sect, these crystals look beautiful but a little fragile, and if they can't refine weapons, they have no medicinal value for the time being, and they are ......."
Zhou Chen recalled the information he knew in his mind, and began to take steps under his feet, but just now he had only taken a few steps, and he suddenly paused again.
Click!
The ground trembled slightly, and a cluster of tall crystals less than three steps in front of Zhou Chen's right suddenly moved.
The crystal that glows with a colorful light is actually alive!
It swayed to its feet, revealing the real entity hidden underground, a red crab with a pair of giant claws!
In Zhou Chen's view, this monster that is as tall as an adult after rising from the ground is actually an enlarged version of the hermit crab. The common hermit crab has a snail shell on its back, and the one in front of it has a cluster of crystals on its back.
Zhou Chen's impression of the hermit crab was still obtained when he was on Earth, and later he traveled through the world many times and never really encountered this creature, and he had only seen similar monsters in the world of "Demon Pet Contract".
And the one in front of me is similar to the demon beasts at that time, they are all hermit crabs with slightly different characteristics after being enlarged. It's just that in this world, it's not called a demon beast, it's a fierce beast.
"Sure enough, the information summarized by the sect is correct, most of this place is real crystal, but it is almost a tenth of this fierce beast mixed in. And the strength of this ordinary fierce beast is average, and its actions are not fast, so it is extremely simple to deal with. β
Zhou Chen thought so, and at the same time, his right hand had already slapped forward quickly, the Sun Divine Palm!
Rumble!
At such a close distance, the fierce beast, known as the "Crystal Crab" by the outside world, was directly beaten upside down and flew out, breaking two clusters of crystals before falling to the ground.
Zhou Chen took a few steps forward and looked down, only to see that the hard shell of the front part where it was hit had been shattered and blown away, and the tissues under the shell were even more fragile, unable to block the domineering Sun Divine Palm, and under only one blow, the vitality of this crystal crab had been completely extinct.
The strength of the crystal crab is average, and the corpse is not very useful, it may be good to eat crab meat in one body, but Zhou Chen has two storage accessories, and a lot of food and water have already been prepared in them, so there is no need to collect them for the time being.
Without looking any further, Zhou Chen continued to move forward.
Maybe a crystal crab died, and the others all had a little intelligence, knowing that Zhou Chen was not easy to mess with, so they didn't suddenly jump out of the soil to attack Zhou Chen.
......
At the same time, above the entrance of the secret realm, the major forces had already taken full control of the nearby area, and each of them had their own hands firmly guarding the huge hole.
And around the entrance of this cave, in all directions, and beyond, there are already dense warriors. And, of course, the warriors who fly in the air.
The vast majority of them are not qualified to enter the secret realm, but they have come here despite the hardships of the desert environment, in addition to communicating with people from all walks of life, isn't it just to open their eyes.
So even though I know that I can't enter the secret realm, I am still very excited in my heart, which is the state of most people.
"Everyone!"
In the center of the crowd, above the huge hole, the lord of Lan Ying Country was still in charge of speaking.
He floated in the air, habitually touching his red beard when he spoke, and his tone was relatively kind, after all, he was not facing the civilians of his country, but the average level of martial arts.
"Everyone, be silent!"
He raised his voice and said again, seeing that the scene was quiet, he smiled slightly and continued: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm here to enter the secret realm." Now invite the three countries, and the other eight countries to come out, and we will enter in order according to the pre-arranged order. β
What the Lord of Lan Ying Country said was also jointly discussed by other top forces, but let him come out as a representative to announce it.
So as soon as he finished saying these two sentences, several top-level forces began to move, and then the first- and second-rate forces, all mobilized, and the representatives of all parties who had been determined long ago came out one by one, ready to enter the secret realm in order. As for the representatives of the other, weaker forces, it will be the turn of the least.
It was at this time that there were a few inconspicuous warriors mixed in the large crowd, but they all showed slightly weird expressions at this moment.
A young man wearing a cloak with a hood covering most of his face, a pair of eyes with an abnormal red flash.
A man with a mun expression in the other place suddenly grinned, stretched out his purple tongue and licked it lightly on his lips.
Not far away, there was a stout woman with a ponytail, who stood at the back of the crowd, but because of her height, she could clearly see the entrance to the secret realm in the center.
The woman had a large wooden box tied to her back, and she didn't know what it contained, and from time to time people around her would look at her curiously.
And in a place where no one can see, there is a small black tattoo on the inside of the woman's neck, which seems to be like a small snake, which is actually "alive" at this moment, twisting slightly against the woman's skin......
......
