Chapter 264: Crystal Tower
"Please place the ring on the groove to recharge, and the ring energy will be activated when it is recharged." The projection said in a rigid tone.
When Karel put the ring in the groove and watched the ring bathe in brilliant blue light, a question suddenly came to mind, why did the Titans put a bunch of rings here, and what did they want to do?
The question gripped Karel's heart so tightly that he couldn't think about anything else.
"Drop! If the charging fails, the system components are missing and cannot be recharged, please replace the spare components. Just as Karel pondered the meaning of the rings, the projection suddenly sounded an alarm.
"Failed to recharge? What's going on? Karel asked, turning to the projection.
"The system components are missing and cannot be recharged." Projection said.
"Okay, I know you're missing something, so how can I make up for the spare components?" Karel says it's too uncomfortable to talk to an AI. "What components are missing, and where can I find them?"
"Searching......" the projection said, and then fell silent until half a minute later, "The search is complete, and the missing components are the Flame Core, the Life Core, and the Lightning Core, and the spare components can be found in the three crystal towers in the test area." "The projection raised his hand and showed a map, which was a map of this basin, and from the map, this basin was a very neat circle, with tower-like markers on the north, east, and west.
"The crystal tower is on the north, east, and west sides of the basin, and it needs to be opened with energy crystals." The map screen changed to look like a small cluster of crystals. Covered in crystal blue, Karel had seen it on the way here.
"There are 4 types of energy crystals, which are red energy crystals, blue energy crystals, yellow energy crystals, and green energy crystals, and you need to use specific combinations to open specific crystal towers."
"The northern crystal tower can accept yellow, red and green crystals, and the eastern crystal tower can accept blue, yellow and green crystals. The Western Crystal Tower can accept red. The green and blue crystals, the crystal arrangement icons are shown in the picture-"
The drawings changed again, this time into three drawings, each of which was an arrangement of crystals. In addition to the color. The shape of the arrangement is exactly the same. There are 8 crystals arranged in the middle to form a large circle, then 6 crystals are arranged around one of the crystals in the middle circle to form a small circle, and then 6 crystals are arranged around the corresponding crystals of the great circle to form a small circle. The diagram of the Northern Crystal Tower is red, yellow, and green from left to right, the Eastern Crystal Tower is green, blue, and yellow, and the Western Crystal Tower is blue-red-green.
"There are many fierce beasts in the basin, you can use the crystal tower to consume crystals to make special items to help you survive here." The projection spoke so fast that everyone could only roughly remember what she meant. Then the picture in her hand changed again.
"The Northern Crystal Tower can combine two effects: one that deals damage and the other that negates damage, and the one that deals damage is the Explosive Crystal, which requires red and yellow crystals, which will create a large explosion and stun your enemies. Rejuvenating Crystals, which require yellow and green crystals, will provide you with a healing aura. ”
"The Eastern Crystal Tower can combine two effects: one that increases your mental stats and the other that creates a shield. Spirit crystals require blue and green crystals, which increase your mana recovery speed. Spike Crystals, which require blue and yellow crystals, provide you with a shield that deals damage to enemies that attack you. ”
"The Western Crystal Tower can combine two effects: one that increases your energy against damage, and the other that reduces the enemy's defense. Defense Crystals: Requires red and green crystals, which will strengthen your armor, and armor-piercing crystals, which require blue and red crystals, which will destroy your enemies' armor. ”
"Good luck to you." After that, the projection was silent.
"Okay, it looks like the mission is clear, we're going to go to 3 ghost places and get 3 things that I don't know what the hell they are, do you have any good ideas?" Karel pulled his ring out of the gap in the middle of the pillar with a dagger, then retracted it into his bag as he asked the others.
"I think we should split up, six people in three groups and go in three directions." Fu Hongxue said.
"Great, so how do you divide it?" Karel asked.
"I think you should already have an idea." Bowei said.
At this time, the 6 people present were faintly divided into 3 groups, Karel and Lu Lin, Fu Hongxue and Salina, Bowei and Roderick, seeing this, Bowei was even more depressed.
"Okay, Fu Hongxue, you go north, collect more crystals on the way, and the recovery of crystals should be able to ensure Salina's safety. Bowei you go east, I don't think you will refuse, Lu Lin and I will go west, the armor-piercing attribute is very useful for me. Karel thought for a moment and then said.
Of course, everyone had no objection to this arrangement, and after a little preparation, they set off.
"Hey, talk, you've been silent for hours." Walking through the forest, Lulin finally stopped and asked Karel.
"I'm thinking about things." Karel said, touching his chin.
"What do you think?" Dodging a low-hanging vine, Lulin said.
"This ring, isn't it too easy to come?" Karel drew his dagger and slashed at the branches that stood in his way as he spoke, the Dragonfather's Fang, though a dagger, was longer than a forearm and was good enough for a machete.
"Easy? This is what you earned by completing X-Class missions. Rulene followed behind Karel, carefully dodging the annoying branches.
"No, that's just my task, it's really too easy for this ring, it's too easy to find here, enter the control room, take the ring, and then come back here again, infuse the energy to activate, it's too easy." Karel frowned and said, suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of him, Karel subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, a vicious-looking poisonous snake was held in Karel's hand, and the sharp fangs dripped venom drop by drop, and the venom splashed on the ground and corroded into small pits. The fangs were only ten centimeters away from Karel's nose.
"Whew, this kind of difficulty is almost equivalent to giving it away for nothing, do you think it's reasonable?" Directly pulling off the snake's head with his hands, Karel sucked the blood directly on the snake's fracture, the blood of the poisonous snake, in the forest, there is no better sports drink than this, "Do you want to have some?" ”
"Uh......" Lulin struggled for a long time, "Okay. I'll try it. Lulene took the dead snake. Sucking gently from the fracture, the snake blood entered the mouth, and there was no imaginary fishy smell, but a long fragrance. Tastes good. The whole person suddenly felt as if it was fully charged. Energetic. "You mean, there's a follow-up to this ring?" Blood dipped in Lulin's mouth, revealing a strange beauty. Lu Lin said as she licked her lips.
"More than 90% likely." Karel spun the dagger in his hand in a circle, then chiseled it backwards with his backhand!
"Babble!" A terrible cry rang out, and the rattan pierced by the dagger writhed like a python.
Life Flogger, this is a life elemental creature, which grows like a huge flower, and two thick vines sprout from the stalks, which are used as weapons to attack enemies, and the more powerful ones will also spit acid, because they look similar to ordinary plants, so they are a great threat to adventurers in the forest.
Anyway, I saw a similar species a long time ago when I was in an underground cave.
The Life Whipper screamed miserably as he swung his arm-like vines at Karel, only to be able to smoke a cloud of smoke.
Shadow Walk, Death Mark, Piercing! The sharp dagger slashed a cold light in the air, and the large flower like the head of the Life Flogger was slashed down by Karel, and green juice sprayed all over the sky.
As if some strange mechanism had been opened, countless petite life whipper seedlings rushed towards the two of them.
Seismic! With a wave of Lulin's staff, the earth began to tremble and crack, but this time there were no strange stalagmites piercing out of the ground, and a large number of earth elements trembled at an extremely high frequency.
Within seconds, the Life Flogger seedlings were buried under the ground, leaving only a few strange saps on the ground, emitting a grassy smell.
"Well, there's a crystal cluster here." Karel took a few steps forward and noticed a shiny thing next to him, and when he turned his head, he saw a small pinch of red crystals contained in the stone at the base of a large tree.
Holding the dagger, Karel carefully pried the crystal open, and after prying out the crystal, the originally large crystal automatically split into more than a dozen small crystals, and the size and shape were extremely similar.
"It's kind of interesting." Karel picked up a piece of crystal and looked at it carefully, the crystal was roughly diamond-shaped, one end was sharp, the other end was relatively dull, and you could clearly feel the pulse of energy inside when you held it in your hand.
This time the group action, and there was no tank, so there were a lot fewer monsters encountered along the way, but most of them were some life element creatures, and there was nothing to gain except for some juice.
A day later.
"Hey! Let's see if this is the crystal tower that the projection said! Early in the morning, when the two of them finally came out of the bushes, Lulene stretched her back to the sun, when she suddenly saw a reflective object on the cliff in front of her, and couldn't help but shout at Karell.
"That's right, that's it!" Gazing at where Lulin was pointing, Karel affirmed.
The crystal tower is not large, just over 10 meters high and more than 2 meters wide, and a metal base is topped by a huge crystal that is still spinning. Bright and stout pillars of light shine straight into the sky through the crystal.
The crystal tower was built on a small platform on the edge of the cliff, which was not a good position, and Karel hooked it three times with the hook lock before stepping on the cliff and going up a little bit, and then pulled Lulin up.
"What should we do now?" Looking at the crystal tower in front of her, which was emitting pillars of light, Lu Lin asked.
"Don't worry, let me think." Karel walked to the edge of the crystal tower and took a closer look, and soon saw a small rectangular stone platform buried in dust on the edge of the crystal tower, and the stone platform was covered with diamond-shaped holes.
"Give me crystals, 6 blue and 6 green, 8 red." Karel held out his hand and said to Lulin.
"Okay." Lulin fumbled around in her bag and found a handful of crystals, which she sorted by color and placed them in Karel's hand one by one.
This basin is almost full of crystals, and you can see a crystal cluster after walking two steps, and not only that, but killing creatures in the basin will also give you a different number of crystal blocks, provided that you carefully examine the corpse.
The diamond-shaped hole on the small stone platform is 11x7 style, and there is no other hint, looking at this stone platform, Karel thought carefully about the picture that was projected to him before, and then picked up a red spar in his hand and inserted it into the hole in the middle of the top row, and after the crystal was inserted, the red light flashed, and then there was no reaction.
The next one is the middle of the bottom row, the diameter is determined, and soon Karel is arranged into a large circle with red crystals, and then according to the crystals at the left and right ends of the big circle, with blue crystals and green crystals arranged into a small circle, as the crystals are inserted more and more, the light on the stone platform is getting stronger and stronger, when the last green crystal is inserted into the groove, the stone platform is already shining at this time, and the base of the crystal tower is slowly cracking in the light.
Revealing the crimson core inside.
This is the core of the flame. (To be continued......)
