Chapter 46: The Choice

After the injuries stabilized, Su Ming and the three of them walked to the foot of the mountain where the alien team stayed in the distance.

There was also a crystal-searching rig on the ground, which had several long stands. The stand is pierced into the soil, and the roulette wheel above it is carved with some unknown runes. Around the rune were several crystalline crystals, with a transparent shard in the center.

After knowing the location of the crystal, Su Ming felt that it was useless to keep this thing. The crystal was very firmly inlaid, Su Ming took down a crystal with a strong "snap" with one hand, and after scanning it with a detector, Su Ming was delighted with the thing in front of him.

【Energy Crystal】(Unnotarized)

Category: Consumables/Materials/Ores

Quality: Blue

How to use: It can be used to store natural energy and various elemental energy, can be used to craft spell scrolls, and can be used to fuse special alloys......

Price: 500 Void Coins.

The energy crystal is the hard currency of the Void, and the usefulness of this thing is too vast. No matter how much you take out, you won't have to worry about no sales in the Void Realm.

There were a total of nine energy crystals on the roulette, and Su Ming cut them all off, and each of them divided up the three. This thing needs to be just done in the Void, and if the origin is unknown, the Void will not let the redeemer take it away. But Su Ming was obtained through battle, and his name is justified.

The crystal fragment in the middle was stuck by some iron spikes, and the fine runes spread all the way from the energy crystal groove of the roulette wheel to the crystal fragment in the center.

Su Ming carefully picked off the iron spike with the tip of his knife and held a small piece of crystal fragment in his hand.

Cheng Ling and Zhao Wen also leaned over and looked at the fragment carefully. The size of the fragment is about the size of a melon seed, and the delicate, multi-faceted surface reflects colorful light.

Cheng Ling's eyes lit up, women just like this kind of shiny thing. The crystal was very light, and Su Ming took the detector and scanned its information.

【Heart of Nature (broken)】(not notarized)

Category:???

Quality:???

Application: ???

Price: 1000

I don't know if it's because the level of the detector is not enough, or if Su Ming's authority is not enough. In addition to the name and price of this thing, the introduction is full of question marks. However, judging by its selling price, it is definitely worth a lot.

Zhao Wen and Cheng Ling also took out their own detectors, which were also a row of question marks.

"This thing should be a large piece to be useful, otherwise the aliens wouldn't have taken it out to find other crystals." Zhao Wen lost interest after watching it for a while, but Cheng Ling wanted to take it and swallow it privately, even if it was useless to make a jewelry.

Su Ming turned over his hand and put away the fragments and put them directly into the space backpack. provoked Cheng Ling's resentful eyes.

Next, Su Ming spoke on the team channel and asked the team near the Broad Line to inform Stud King, while the three of them watched from nearby, and the other two teams also rushed here.

The reason why Su Ming stayed was because he was afraid that other alien races would find out about the situation here, if the information was leaked in the painstaking battle, Su Ming would vomit blood.

When the team of the Broad Line heard the news, they ran like hormone hounds and ran to Stud King's camp in less than an hour.

After learning the news, Stud King immediately rushed to Su Ming's location to confirm, and when he arrived at Su Ming's location, he saw alien corpses all over the ground.

"Did you three kill them?" Stud King looked at the pile of tattered corpses on the plain and was shocked, it was not a joke for three people to kill more than 200 people, he seriously underestimated Su Ming's strength.

"Yes, we saw that after they were probing here, an alien hurried back on his mount. We grabbed him and tortured him to find out the clues to the crystals here. "There are no loopholes in Su Ming's explanation, unless Stud King can resurrect the dead.

Stud King was accompanied by a middle-aged man sent by the Empire.

The search equipment he brought with him was not very different from that of the alien race, and they were all inlaid with energy crystals and crystal fragments on slender stands.

After passing the test, the middle-aged man looked at the results in disbelief, and there was really a resonance reaction under his feet.

"General Stud King immediately informs the Commander-in-Chief! We're going to dig up the crystals in the ground before they get alien! His expression was thrilled, this discovery could determine the fate of humanity for hundreds of years, or even longer.

"I will......" Stud King looked complicated, and what he feared had happened. If it is better to dig it out before the alien race finds out, he is afraid that half of the excavation will be fought by the alien race, and he will not be able to guess what will happen to the battle at that time.

"You did a good job of finding the whereabouts of the crystals in advance, and you didn't let the information leak out." Stoad King barely squeezed out a smile on his face and said to Su Ming's team.

[Hint: You have completed the Stage 4 mission.] 】

[Reward: Void Coins×3000, Attribute +5.] 】

Seeing such a generous reward, Su Ming felt that all the efforts were worth it, and Zhao Wen and Cheng Ling also received similar rewards, each with 2,000 void coins and 4 attributes.

"What's the Empire going to do next? Send someone to dig directly? Zhao Wen asked the middle-aged man.

"That's right, getting crystals equals winning."

"What about the aliens searching nearby, they are searching inside in circles around a certain area, if we come to excavate, will they be discovered?" Su Ming asked.

"Then kill them all, it's just a few search teams...... "The middle-aged man stopped halfway through.

"It's a nuisance, the crystals are in a very deep area underground. If you want to dig fast, it will take ten days and half a month. If we kill all the search party, the aliens will immediately know that we have discovered the crystals. ”

"Forget it, it's not for me to worry about these things. I'll report to the Commander-in-Chief for him and the upper echelons of the Empire to decide. "Stud King turned on his horse.

"I'll go back as soon as I go, this matter will be decided tonight at the latest, and I'm going to trouble you to watch here."

"I'll send a handful of elites to assist you, and I'll leave this place to you before they arrive." Sitting on the back of a galloping horse, he turned back to Su Ming and the three of them.

Zhao Wen and Cheng Ling felt that something was wrong, and as soon as they wanted to quit the team, they received the same prompt as Su Ming.

[Note: Stage 5 mission has been activated.] 】

[Mission completion conditions: Defend the area before the arrival of the elite of the second unit (if the alien race learns about the area, it will be regarded as a mission failure.] 】

[Task penalty: Data cleared.] 】

and Zhao Wen and Cheng Ling were stunned and the other two teams who rushed over, they just recovered from the surprise of completing the task, and they received the next stage of the task.

Fifteen people stared at each other in the venue, and Su Ming spread his hands to say that this time it had nothing to do with him.

"I have a hunch that I will continue to team up with you...... We're going to be killed by you! Cheng Ling looked at Su Ming and said seriously.

……

A circle appears on the map interface, right in their area. If an alien discovers something unusual here, it will be considered a mission failure.

Fifteen people stood outside the circle, cautiously watching the wind and grass around them.

Su Ming sat on a hill and looked into the distance, the injuries on his body had been completely repaired after Cheng Ling's treatment and the effect of the burst of life. Su Ming removed the bandage, and as his health gradually increased, this ability would become more and more practical.

There was no movement in the distance for the time being, Su Ming checked some points prestige, and the points had been increased to 371, ranking thirty-fifth in meritorious service. The first-place Flame Demon has risen to 2712 points, leaving everyone below far behind. Judging by his name, he should be a mage, and it's a code name.

Stoles' reputation has been raised to 371 (Awe), and Su Ming has not found any use for his reputation for the time being.

In the midst of everyone's fear, the elite that King said had finally arrived. It was a group of about a hundred cavalrymen, well-armed, fat and strong.

The soldier in the lead took over after handing over to Su Ming and the others.

[Note: Stage 5 quest completed.] 】

[Reward: Void Coins×500.] 】

Cheng Ling and Zhao Wen, who received the prompt, immediately quit the group, they didn't want to get involved in the next thing. The remaining few people also decided to withdraw from the group and wait and see, they withdrew if the risk > oil and water, and they stayed if the risk < oil and water. The discovery of the heart of nature will soon see an unprecedented climax.

The next day the group rode back to the Broad front on the horses they had brought. The next stage of the mission did not know when it would appear, and Su Ming decided to find out the truth and reality with Detective Stude Kim.

Walking to the entrance of the camp, the soldiers looked at Su Ming's eyes and became adoring, and the fifteen people returned to the camp to find their own opportunities.

As soon as I entered Broadsus, I found that the number of troops here had skyrocketed, the newly built camp had expanded several times, and a group of soldiers were pulling logs to build new barracks.

Su Ming wanted to look for Stud King in the barracks, but was blocked by a group of soldiers at the door. This group of soldiers was different from the other sergeants, and Su Ming vaguely felt that something was wrong with this group of people.

After scanning it with a detector, sure enough, the attributes are similar to those of Stud Kim, and the drop out of the name has the symbol of the Lingyuan warrior.

"Stud and the other generals are negotiating with the commander on important matters, and irrelevant personnel will leave immediately." The tone of these soldiers was very unkind, if it weren't for Su Ming's high reputation, the other party might have pushed him away directly.

Su Ming didn't make a sound, just casually glanced at their eyes, and several soldiers felt a murderous aura.

After waiting for about an hour, Stud King finally came out of the barracks, and many soldiers in general's clothes walked out with him.

"General, what is the commander's plan?" Su Ming leaned against the wall of a barracks and said to Stud King who walked over.

"For the time being, there are two options. One is to attack the alien border guards to make them give up the search, and then we take the opportunity to dig up the crystals underground. ”

"The other is to create a fake clue to attract the attention of the alien."

It turned out to be the two tricks of sounding the east and attacking the west and darkening Chen Cang, and Su Ming felt that this method was feasible. The next thing is to see if the alien side is compatible.
