The two tentacles dragged the corpses of the two giant beasts, and retracted straight into the depths of the bone giant mountain, with the retraction of the tentacles, a large number of bones emitted a loud noise, and blocked the place again, Xiluo stood stiffly in place and waited for a minute or so, and there was a sound from below again, and clumps of broken flesh and bones burst out like a fountain, scattered on the surrounding bones, and fresh blood flowed down. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Through these flesh and bones that were torn to pieces, it was vaguely recognizable that they were the fragmented corpses of the two giant beasts just now, and now I finally knew where these bones came from.

Xi Luo waited for a while, the huge tentacle monster was already silent, it seemed that he really didn't want to kill him, Xi Luo breathed a sigh of relief, his palms were already full of sweat, he didn't know what this place was for, but it was definitely not the place he should be.

It was only then that Xi Luo dared to look at the attributes of the thing he had just picked up.

In fact, from the hurried glance just now, Xi Luo almost guessed the origin of this thing, but he still had to confirm the attributes before he could be sure.

Broken Large Void Energy Crystal (Red) (Epic) (Damaged)

Not binding

Effect: None

- "The crystal was a rich blood-colored one, and it smelled pungent. ”

What Xi Luo held in his hand was a crystal that was exactly the same as the currency of the Astral Consortium, the Great Crystal, but this was exactly the same as just the shape, and this Void Energy Crystal as a whole exuded a dull red, which was completely different from the rich dark purple of ordinary large crystals.

The crystal was dull and opaque, apparently shattered inside, and drained of energy.

But this time, Xi Luo could recognize what it was, because he had done his homework in Starry Sky City before he came, so he recognized the red crystal when he saw it.

It is well known that the Void Energy Crystal serves as a container that can hold the Void Energy, as well as a specialty of the Astral Plane. It is widely used as the highest currency of the Astral Consortium.

This is because the Void Energy Crystal is more than just currency to the Ethereal Spirits, once they leave the Astral Plane, the crystal is also where life is located - like a power bank. They can recharge their energy cores at any time, and can also power the equipment of various Astral Consortiums.

And only a few people know that a long time ago, when the Void Energy Crystal was not widely used as currency, there was another even rarer Void Energy Crystal, its energy was much more powerful than the ordinary purple crystal, that is, the red Void Energy Crystal.

The color of the crystal is like the body of the ethereal spirit, the more condensed it is, the more powerful it becomes, the ordinary ethereal body can be seen at a glance that it is very illusory, but the legendary ethereal body is more condensed. And when it reaches the demigod level, all the purple energy in his body will turn red, and those Astral Guardians and Judges are all like this.

It is a well-established fact that the red void energy is more powerful than the purple one.

It is said that the unbroken red Void Energy Crystal has the purest of all. The largest void energy, that is enough to compare to the energy of the ethereal spirit dominating the life force, if according to the player, at least it should be a legendary treasure, and it is very unusual.

Unfortunately, this item disappeared forever centuries ago - the ethereals' excessive misuse of the power and resources of the astral plane has led to countless consequences, including this, and people can no longer dig up red crystals from the depths of the earth. The remaining red crystals are used as a symbol of honor for the most powerful spellcasters of the Ethereals, including the Guardians, Inquisitors, and Pioneers.

First the hilt of the ancient warrior's sword, then the broken energy crystal, it seems that many powerful ancient ethereal spirits are buried here. But this is not surprising, just the power of those monsters just now is really easy to tear apart these void spirits, Xi Luo just can't understand why it is in the Tower of the Starry Sky.

And Xiluo was also carefully observing the crystal at this time, and he found another detail - when he shook the crystal. The dark red hue in it was trembling slightly, and after Xiluo slowly shook it a few times, he found that there was actually some liquid in this crystal.

Xiluo hesitated to open the crystal to see what the liquid was inside, he had never heard of the liquid in the Void Energy Crystal, but after a moment of silence, he still put down the crystal.

Although there were doubts, but this was not his main purpose, Xiluo put away the crystal, ready to see if there was a possibility of repairing the broken crystal later, and then he turned and flew in the direction he came from, the portal to the second level.

There were no monsters attacking him along the way, and Shiro successfully crossed the portal and re-entered the second layer, only to breathe a sigh of relief, and he lurked in the sky in the form of an arcane spirit, observing the situation around him.

The ethereal soldiers seem to have discovered that four more teams of their comrades have died here, a large number of ethereal soldiers have gathered in the place where the battle took place before, and more ethereal soldiers are still scattered throughout the second layer, looking for the location of Xiluo, and many portals are full of ethereal soldiers standing near them to guard.

And the strange thing is that at the entrance of the portal on the eighty-third floor where Xi Luo is located, there is no one to guard it at all, Xi Luo quietly condensed into a human form, blessed himself with invisibility, and then turned on the magic pattern vision and looked carefully towards the entire second layer, taking into account the situation of each portal.

At this time, Xi Luo's eyes suddenly lit up!

In fact, he didn't know where each of these portals led, but these ethereal spirits themselves pointed out the way to Xiluo - they thought that the most important portal on the tower level must be heavily guarded, some portals only had a few guards in front of them, while others did not have any guards at all.

For example, the one behind Xi Luo leads to the eighty-third floor, which is completely purgatory-like place, and Xi Luo can almost be said to be dead and lifeless when he enters, so there is no need to send people to guard it, but those important places are almost surrounded by a sea of people, so as to prevent Xi Luo from entering.

Although Shiloh didn't know which level the portals led to, he was sure that it was definitely the most important place, and it just so happened that he was going to one of those places.

Xiluo's gaze quickly locked on the three portals, and the guards near the three portals almost blocked the spatial crack completely, and it was filled with a large number of epic elite non-commissioned officers, making it clear that they would not let him in.

It's fine if this kind of guard of theirs meets an ordinary person, but it is useless to meet Xiluo, who has arcane elf skills, and he can completely ignore the encirclement of the outer three layers here.

Shiro transforms into an arcane spirit form again. Flying towards one of the portals, he quietly passed through the crowd, unnoticed by the surrounding ethereals, and Shiro passed them straight through the portal. Finally, it flew out from the other end of the spatial rift and recoalesced into a human form.

Since there was no indication on the map, he didn't know what level it was, and after passing through the portal, Xiluo found himself in a small room.

In the first few floors of Xiluo, I saw the vast field scene, and suddenly entered such a small place, but it was a little uncomfortable, this is a small indoor space of only a dozen square meters, and the only furnishings in the room are a sealed bookshelf and a dilapidated wooden table. It's a bit like a study.

Xi Luo looked around, since he was here, he at least had to take a closer look at this place, he walked to the sealed bookshelf, which was covered by a layer of glass-like crystals, and there was a small black iron lock in the middle. Shiloh tried to use a lockpicking spell on it.

In fact, he didn't have any hope, this kind of lock generally requires a special key, lockpicking and the thief's lockpicking skill level is difficult to open, he just instinctively tryed, but when the tip of Xiluo's wand landed on the iron lock, it made a click, and then opened.

Xiluo himself was stunned. Then he reached out and took the lock off and opened the bookshelf.

There are many ancient and heavy books on display in the shelves, even if they are written and revised with the permanent incorruptible paper of the astral plane, they have a slightly dilapidated color and meaning, and it is obvious that the age is very old, and Xiluo is just a routine search. Coupled with the fact that the lock had been opened so easily, he instinctively thought it wasn't something important.

Xiluo reached out and took a book out of the shelf and flipped to the cover.

"Ancient Super Civilization - The Road to the Rise of the Astral Consortium"

Xiluo opened it casually and flipped through it, quickly closed the book and put it back again. This is a book that chronicles the history of the development of the Astral Consortium, and it is clear that the author's words are full of subjective praise for the Astral Consortium and the Star Lord, which is generally not very true and has little use value.

He took another one, flipped to the cover and looked at the title.

Conquest of 100,000 Planes

The title of the book is even more majestic, and the content is probably that in the process of expanding the Astral Consortium and opening up trade channels, the plane conquered by the Star Lord in various ways such as war, coercion, inducement, and cooperation is more flashy and exaggerated, and Xi Luo closed the book and put it back after turning a few pages.

Then Xiluo flipped through a few more books, and found that the contents of these books were different, but the ideas to be expressed were all the same—all of them were praising and praising the Astral Consortium and the Star Lord.

Xi Luo felt a little funny, even if the Starry Sky Lord was extremely proud of his achievements, he didn't need to open up a special layer in the Starry Sky Tower, and put these fundamentally flashy biographies and history books written by the sloppy people.

He shook his head, gave up the idea of continuing to flip through the book, and turned around and walked towards the portal, the room was nothing meaningful at all, and it wasn't the place he was looking for.

The only strange thing is why there are so many ethereal soldiers guarding this portal, is it to protect these "precious books".

Xiluo walked to the portal and waited for the cooldown of his arcane elf skill, this skill can be said to be perfect except that it cannot be used in battle, the only fly in the ointment is that it has a cooldown, although it is only a short three minutes, but it cannot be released twice in a row.

Xiluo had just entered this room and was about to leave, and the time had not yet arrived.

Xiluo stood near the portal and waited, but just as he was about to transform and leave, the spatial crack suddenly flashed with light, Xiluo was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils shrank!

This is a sign that someone is about to enter this room, it is likely that those ethereal soldiers have come in to search, and in such a small space, his arcane elf skills still have more than ten seconds of cooldown, and it is impossible for spells such as invisibility to be effective against creatures that surpass him by more than a hundred levels in such a small space.

To be discovered!

Xiluo's mind was in a hurry, and before he could come up with a way to deal with it, the creature that had passed through the portal had already entered-he stepped out of the portal, and then landed firmly in the room, which was an extremely rare, robed ethereal spirit, and it landed in the room, and he was also stunned when he found that Xiluo.

Xi Luo had already changed into the appearance of the red-eyed chef at this time.

The two looked at each other and froze, Xi Luo was thinking about how to round out the current scene, and the ethereal spirit was wondering why there were other people in this place.

“…… I'm the librarian of the Tower of the Stars, Usnar, what are you doing here? The ethereal spirit was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, asking Xi Luo tentatively.

"I'm Stro, the Red-Eyed Man who was invited. Seth. Xiluo's face once again had that skillful and hee-hee smile on his face, and he said kindly, "I'm a chef, and I'm here to cook food for Lord Arria, the Star Lord, and invite the noble gods to taste the specialties of our Ankarun plane. ”

Xiluo "reported to his home", and the look on the void spirit's face really eased a lot, but he immediately asked suspiciously: "Hello, Mr. Seth, but the guards should lead you directly to the kitchen under the lord's palace or the warehouse where the ingredients are stored, what are you doing in the library?" ”

"It's not yet time for the lord's meal, I haven't been informed, the lord has allowed me to explore the lower level of the Starry Sky Tower, and I'm here, the books here are very interesting." Xiluo said with an unchanging smile, hiding his identity as an intruder.

Because Xiluo was now searching everywhere outside, it was difficult for this ethereal spirit to suddenly see him here, and it was difficult not to suspect it, so Xiluo pretended to make it look like he seemed to have read a book here for a long time.

"Ah, you wouldn't have been able to see the real book collection without me." Usnar looked at the wide open bookshelf door behind Shiloh and shook his head with a smile, "You should have been here for a while, there are some minor problems outside, you can stay here for a while longer and then leave, and wait until the situation is over." ”

"What's wrong?" Xiluo feigned natural curiosity, "What's going on?" ”

"The barracks reported that a small intruder entered the Tower of the Starry Sky, but don't worry, it is said that it is a very weak guy, and it is only possible to break in by sneak attack and infiltration, you are a guest of the lord, and the guards are obliged to protect you." Usnar seemed a little embarrassed and explained.

First the Calamity Warriors invaded, and now the Starry Sky Tower has also been broken into, and the authority of the Astral Consortium has been frustrated one after another in a short period of time, which obviously embarrassed Usnar a little.

Xi Luo was also relieved at this time, this guy seemed to fully believe in his identity, and at the same time, he also checked his level, and found that this Usnar was not a combat-type ethereal, his level was only eighty level legendary, and he was really just a librarian.

After relieving himself, Xi Luo's thoughts also turned, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"It's not too early, I'd better go back to the kitchen and get ready, but the Tower of the Stars is too vast, can you tell me which portal leads to the kitchen?"
