Chapter 266: Beneath the Ground
Chunxiao finally carried the woman to the land of the crystal hub here, and now he understands what the crystal hub is.
A huge Mother of Crystals, long since lost its luster, lay at the bottom of a pit, surrounded by shelves made of metal like tree branches, and engraved with dense runes.
There are many connecting wires on the Mother of Crystals, all of which are connected to the various fulcrums of the metal.
In the very center there is a broken black hole, which looks unfathomable below.
The woman said that her husband went down and never came back.
Chunxiao was puzzled: "You are magicians, you can't help it?" ”
The woman said helplessly: "My husband is also a magician, and his strength is much higher than mine, if he can't go down, then I can't go down, if it weren't for Anne still here, I would have gone down a long time ago." ”
Seeing that the woman didn't look like she was lying, Chunxiao flew into the sky, looking at this so-called crystal hub from above, and didn't feel anything wrong, and even felt that this was a broken device, and there was no energy source for a long time.
According to the woman, the crystal mine is under the crystal hub, so the crystal hub should be a device for mining crystal ore, but the woman does not know the role of the crystal hub.
"The Crystal Hub actually existed a long time ago, much older than our age, in the era of mage's depletion, not many people knew about such a device for a long time, not to mention that it was extremely difficult to find, even in books, there was no record."
Chunxiao thought about it like this, he really didn't find any record of the crystal hub, and after careful observation, he found that this crystal mother was not the same as the one he saw at the bottom of the sea.
The crystal stones that have been absorbed, some of them will become fragile stone powder, and some of them are stones, but they are very hard, but the stone in front of him, when Chunxiao looked closely, turned out to be a hollow stone shell, presumably not a power stone.
This crystal hub is about ten meters long, and in a small basin, it looks like it has been many years old.
Chunxiao didn't stay too long, just said goodbye and jumped off the black hole.
The temperature of the black hole is not lower than that outside, and it is still a little warm, surrounded by soil and rock layers, there is not much space, the air is not good, and it is humid and smelly.
I don't know how long it took, Chunxiao felt that she was at the end, and sure enough, she stepped on the ground, and the soil was a little soft.
I didn't expect there to be a space underneath.
However, the underground situation is winding and cumbersome, and I don't know what it has to do with the crystal hub above.
The passages below are staggered, and Chunxiao has no choice but to start looking for them casually.
The blue crystal mine is the most mysterious ore that Chunxiao feels, and Chunxiao has always felt so.
There is a lot of stagnant water here, and there is a sound of "popping" water when it goes up in the spring dawn.
Soon Chunxiao made a discovery, there were indeed some blue crystal ores here, scattered in various deeper places, and Chunxiao found a mold under Shurima.
These blue crystal Chunxiao hurriedly put them away and continued to walk inside.
Further inside, there were more things, but instead of crystals, some tattered clothes, some sticks, utensils, and other things, as if there were human bones.
Chunxiao took a closer look, and there were rune inlays on these wooden sticks, which turned out to be magic staffs, magicians' weapons.
The bones of those human beings shattered at the slightest touch, and they had long since been corroded.
Most of the utensils are things that have been used by people, and it seems that many people have come here, but I don't know why they died here.
Is there an unknown danger? Chunxiao guessed, and immediately raised his vigilance, but he didn't find anything for a long time, and then he felt as if it was very likely that a conflict broke out between the magicians and killed each other.
There was nothing of value, and Chunxiao went all the way inside.
The twists and turns here really made Chunxiao want to blast them all at once, but he was afraid that he would destroy the structure here, resulting in the final gains outweighing the losses.
Some black cobweb-like things cling to the soil, and when you look closely, they slowly wriggle as if they were alive.
Although Chunxiao was not afraid, it was really disgusting to watch, and when the sword went down, the broken part flowed out of the black liquid and rancid smell, and the rest quickly left.
Such a departure is equivalent to finding a direction for Chunxiao, and he quickly followed up. The space inside was much more open, but he didn't see any blue crystals, Chunxiao didn't care, knowing that he had walked to a place where the temperature was rapidly dropping.
It was empty, and it was very dark around, but under the improvement of the blue crystal before, Chunxiao's eyes already had some night vision ability, and he could naturally see that this was a cliff.
This is where the wind comes in.
The surrounding stone walls are full of pitted traces, and there are a lot of scorched black, Chunxiao touched it, it turned out to be burned, it seems that there are fire magicians here.
There are also cobwebs and black silk on the stone wall not far away, but Chunxiao didn't know what kind of creature this thing was.
Looking up, it seems that there is air flow above it, and it looks like a canyon, and when you look down, there are some black fog-like bodies, which are not very clear.
Chunxiao chiseled the stone wall on the side, and the gravel on it fell down, and there were echoes around.
There was a sound of flying, as if a bat had flown out.
It's so deep here, and there are still so many creatures living in it?
Chunxiao slowly descended against the stone wall, and the scene below was gradually revealed, in addition to some unknown trees growing on the stone wall, there were some dark holes.
Chunxiao also found a corpse on the stone wall, shocking, it looked like the corpse of some magician, and the clothes on it and the staff inserted into the stone wall were all magicians' things.
He hadn't expected to find so many magicians in such a place, but he remembered that he had forgotten to ask the woman what his husband's characteristics were, and perhaps one of the corpses was hers.
After passing through the fog, Chunxiao saw the situation below, it turned out that there were shriveled cracks here, and this place had dried up as if it was a riverbed, but to Chunxiao's surprise, there was not a little bit of bugs here.
He couldn't figure out how this little bug creature should be the last thing to do in such a dark and damp place, but it was a deathly silence.
The narrow rock wall here leads somewhere, and it feels like a road that exists beneath the ground.
Chunxiao forgot the original purpose of finding the blue crystal and walked towards the south side.
......
At this time, Azir was guarding the edge of Shurima's crystal hub, and there were countless ravines and crevices below, and there was a black wind, which made him feel weak in bursts.
It seems that certain voices can still be heard, demagogic, over and over again.
Strangely, the land seemed to be black, and Azir wanted to get rid of this interference, but those black aura gradually eroded into his body, which made him miserable, and the solar disc on his body helped him dispel this black qi and fell on his side.
Azir seemed to have escaped the disaster, and left the place with the solar disc in hand.
