Act I: Broken Heart Chapter 19: Blood Energy Crystal
On the other side, Icarus quietly looked in the direction where Yan Xin had disappeared, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Icarus, I don't understand, these should be the duties of the city defense station, we shouldn't need to meddle, right?" Another middle-aged man in a white robe behind Icarus asked, judging by his clothes, he should also be a Silver Guardian.
"Of course, we don't care about this!" Icarus smiled bitterly: "It's just that there are some things that don't just look at the surface. The girl just now was a commodity that originally belonged to the alliance on the side of the Frost Node, and came to the Frostfall Node with the survivors of the Frost Node the day before yesterday...... "Looking at the middle-aged man who was still a little puzzled, Icarus continued: "She is free now. ”
"So, she was bought by some big family?" The middle-aged man suddenly realized that if it was a big family, then it would be normal to intervene.
Icarus shook his head: "I understand your thoughts, but unfortunately, you are wrong, you bought her by an explorer." ”
"Can all explorers be so rich now?" The middle-aged man was a little stunned.
"That's not a simple explorer, he spent 20,000 exploration points to buy two beauties at one time, and the most important thing is that his card is at the Bauhinia level." Icarus said with a solemn face (The explorer level of the Frostfall Node is divided into: Baisa, Green, Obsidian, and Bauhinia. Corresponding to the four levels of crystal cards of white, green, blue, and purple).
"Hiss~~~~~~~~" The middle-aged man gasped, what does the Bauhinia level represent, they are very clear at this level.
"The boss told me that if you meet this explorer, try to make friends with him if you can, and don't contradict him even if you can't. And this time, he has to accept my favor. The corners of Icarus's mouth curled slightly, and he said very proudly.
"Could the boss be ..................?"
"Of course, you don't know the temper of the boss, such a good hand can let him join the guardian, and in time, it is very possible to become the golden guardian."
"Worthy of the boss, hehe"
"Let's go, it's time to go back." During the conversation, the figures of the two disappeared at the end of the street.
………………
"That...... Thank you for saving me, can my sister tell me your name? On the other side of the street, just as Yan Xin was slowly walking towards her home with pain, a somewhat glutinous voice sounded behind her.
When she heard the voice, she turned around and found that it was the girl who had been caught earlier. Yan Xin smiled at her and showed kindness: "My name is Yan Xin, it's good that you're fine." ”
While speaking, he saw that the girl's clothes were in tatters, and a lot of skin was exposed, Xuan Xin tilted her head and thought for a moment, untied the white apron on her body, and helped the girl put it on, although it couldn't be completely covered, it was much better than before.
The girl was a little restrained and wooden, until Xuan Xin helped her put on an apron before she reacted, seeing the white obscenity stained with dust and a large area of red, the girl couldn't help but sob.
The tragedy of frost and cold left her without a single relative in this world, and the nightmare of fear haunted her, but whenever she wanted to choose death, the words on her mother's last letter would appear in her mind: "You are the continuation of the life of your father and mother, promise me to live strongly." ”
This is also the reason why she didn't want to kill herself when she was about to be humiliated, she wanted to live, she was the continuation of her parents' lives, even if there was still a breath, she would live, as for the people who made her suffer humiliation, she believed that one day, she could make these guys pay.
If her own experience is evil, then the sister named Xuan Xin in front of her made her feel the warmth of her heart again after experiencing fear and despair.
"My name is Greva, sister, your injuries don't matter, right?" After seeing the large patch of red on the apron, Glewa asked with some concern, if a normal human had lost so much blood, he would have been in a coma a long time ago, and now it seems that Yan Xin's face is also very pale, and there is still a wisp of dried blood on the corner of his mouth.
Hearing Greva's words, Xuan Xin shook her head: "I don't care, it's you, what are you going to do?" Continue to live the life of a wanderer? ”
Gleva lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Comfort is a hotbed of laziness, frost and cold are broken, all rely on the protection of my parents, I can survive, I promised my parents, I must live, then, I want to take my fate into my own hands." As the words fell, Greva's gaze became firm.
"So, you already have a plan?" Yan Xin looked at the girl in front of her, and at this moment, she seemed to see her own shadow.
"Well, I plan to become an explorer, only on the edge of life and death again and again, I can deal with it freely after the danger comes, blindly comfort and escape, and when the danger comes, I can only wait for death in despair."
"........." Although Xuan Xin admires Greva's courage, but it is very realistic that Greva is just an ordinary person, or a very weak ordinary person, not to mention a heavenly beast or an earth beast, even if she is injured and is close to the first-order human and beast level, it is not something she can deal with.
She also knows a little about the rules of explorers, at least what kind of folding coin is needed to go to the wilderness to return quickly, and that coin should consume exploration points. Thinking of this, Xuan Xin asked, "Have you ever thought about the situations you will face after becoming an explorer?" ”
"No matter when, even if it is the end of the world, there will be luck in the hearts of human beings, but people have not yet seen that in this world that is no longer the length of all things for human beings, in addition to survival, the only thing left is to survive harder, right? Since there is nothing left but life, there is nothing that cannot be abandoned! So what's so scary? Even if it is a new world, we still have to try to survive, and the explorer is just the first person to wake up from the dream, and if he does not make progress, he will only be eliminated by this world in the end. ”
"............" Xuan Xin was silent, she had always believed that the shelter node was the safest place, and when she was in the Explorer Alliance, in addition to the desire for freedom, in fact, there was still some hope in her heart that she could be bought by someone who really liked her, even if she didn't like it very much, she could accept it.
The shattering of the frost node made her truly appreciate the cruelty of this world, and at the same time shattered the only trace of luck left in her heart, and Greva's words made her realize that only her own strength is truly powerful, otherwise, even her own life can only be controlled by others.
"I support your decision!" She smiled encouragingly at Greva, and then she made up her mind, taking Greva's hand and walking towards the Explorer Alliance on the other side of the street.
………………
It was already close to evening when Resa returned to the frostfall node, he didn't go home as soon as possible, but went to the Explorer Alliance for the first time, he wanted to test what the more than 20 blood-colored spar fragments in his hand were, and it was better to figure out the details of this unknown thing.
The Explorer Alliance in the evening is still lively, probably due to the different nodes and the different order of the controllers, but the Explorer Alliance of the Frostfall Node is not as chaotic as Frost Cold.
The most obvious is that the Explorer Reception Hall does not allow idle people to linger, and the guardians in charge of security are equipped with exoskeleton power armor all over their bodies.
This exoskeleton armor adopts a new type of nano energy conversion device, which improves the load and volume of the conversion device on the basis of the original, and the exoskeleton made of high-fiber composite materials provides good defense capability and also provides excellent ductility, making the equipment more flexible in action, and the built-in holographic personal combat terminal can analyze the advantageous combat conditions at the fastest speed.
Resa looked at the guardian in the hall with some envy, such exoskeleton armor was undoubtedly the first choice for exploring the wilderness, but its high price was not acceptable to him.
When he drove to the counter, he was opposite a sunny and handsome brown-haired man, with a handsome face with a warm smile, a white shirt and a gray-black waistcoat, his demeanor was elegant, seemingly slow but not muddy at all, his long fingers were crystal white, and his fingers danced like elves.
Such a man will be amazed even at the first sight of a man, yes, amazing, and when the man's smile is flashed, it seems that the whole world exists around him.
"Hello, Explorer, it's a pleasure to serve you!" The man's feminine voice rang in Ressa's ears, causing Ressa to lose her judgment on the gender of the person in front of her in a trance.
Ressa retracted her mind and clicked a few clicks on the personal terminal operator on her wrist, a small grid popped up on it, and Ressa took out a red crystal inside and put it in the tray on the counter: "I want the details of this thing." ”
"Okay! However, we will not be liable for any loss or damage that may occur as a result of the inspection. The man's smile was like a spring breeze, and people couldn't afford to refuse.
Seeing Resa nod in agreement, the man put the red crystal into a small cultivation tank on the counter, and after a few clicks on the platform, the red crystal in the cultivation tank slowly floated and began to rotate continuously, and faint red rays flickered, until it stopped after almost a minute.
"Dear Explorer, the information you need has been sent to your personal terminal, please check." The man bowed slightly, looking humble and polite.
Ressa nodded, clicked twice on the counter, and a disc floated on the ground, rising to a height of more than half a meter, and Resa sat on it and began to check the information on her personal terminal:
Blood Crystal Fragment: Number: 000109
Material: Crystal. Category:Special energy crystal. Energy attribute: Life energy (can replenish any type of ability)
The value of the complete Blood Energy Crystal: from 21500 exploration value, the fragment loses a lot of energy due to breakage, and the value is converted to about 239 exploration value.
The blood energy crystal is a special type of energy power stone, which is a blood-red transparent crystal that exudes a brilliant red light throughout the body, with low hardness, and you will obviously feel the life energy after touching. The formation conditions are very harsh, and there are currently two known generation conditions:
Condition 1: In a burial place with at least tens of thousands of people, the residual life energy in the body after death will accumulate to form blood energy crystals after years of precipitation, and the precipitation time must be at least more than 100 years.
When Ressa saw condition two, he was shocked, beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, and the first thing that appeared on the data was not text, but a slightly blurred image.
In the video, two explorers are running on the street, the guy in front is running and thinking about throwing fireballs in the back, but the explorer in the back is running while constantly throwing all kinds of test tubes, grenades and other things, behind them, a huge white shadow is constantly fluttering and circling, is rapidly approaching the two, the fireball and grenade explosion of the fire, the green mist rising after the test tube is broken has no effect on the white shadow, and the white shadow catches up with the two after a while.
The white shadow suddenly turned into two lines and burrowed into the heads of the two. Their bodies fell to the ground suddenly, and they kept rolling on the ground, and as they rolled, the blood vessels in their heads were agitated, but their bodies were shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their heads looked two points larger, which looked a little funny.
However, the next scene was very terrifying, the heads of the two suddenly exploded, a white mist drilled out of their broken bodies, and merged into one in the sky, Ressa's pupils shrank, and in the palm of the white shadow, two palm-sized blood-red crystals floated strangely, exuding a demonic light.
