Chapter 160: The Plight of the Hades
When the old man climbed to about three or four meters in front of Xu Renjie, You Wuchang had already returned with several green crystals the size of a football in his arms, and as soon as this guy came back, he respectfully handed the crystals to Xu Renjie with both hands.
Xu Renjie took the crystal, and without looking at it, he directly threw two pieces to the old man, and put the rest at his feet, and the latter was stunned for a short time for less than a second, and a strange look suddenly erupted in his already cloudy eyes, like a dying man suddenly regaining the vitality of life: "Venerable lord, your generosity is as vast as the great dark mountains!" ”
After saying this, the old man grabbed the crystal and devoured it.
In such a scene, the male slaves of the underworld next to them were in a commotion, and the sympathetic eyes before immediately turned into envy, jealousy and hatred, and the sound of swallowing saliva came from the voice, hundreds of people drooled at the same time, and Loulan goosebumps rose.
"The second puppet, this old thing, is a big luck today, such a big piece of crystal, it's enough for ten people to eat!"
"Damn it, that adult just now was obviously me, why didn't I go over!"
"The great god of the underworld, if I were to eat a piece of that big crystal... I'm willing to sell everything I have! ”
"Shut up, idiot, you have nothing to sell for!"
。。。。。。
This old man of the underworld, known as the second puppet, eats extremely fiercely, and as he eats a whole piece of revenant crystal, his body has also undergone amazing changes, the original skinny and almost half-dead appearance is already plump and radiant in the blink of an eye, and the guys behind him are already seeing that even their eyeballs are about to fall out.
Finally, a burly strong male slave took the initiative to walk out of the team, and Loulan noticed that when he walked past the old man who was gobbling up, his Adam's apple twitched involuntarily.
"Honorable lord, I can tell you everything I know, as long as you can also give me a piece of crystal" The strong male slave walked up to Xu Renjie and suddenly said loudly: "Just like the great god of the underworld said, it is more difficult for two people to lie together than one person. ”
Xu Renjie heard that a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, picked up a piece of crystal, checked it in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Say your name, you humble ant!" ”
"You can call me a puppet, honorable lord" As soon as the strong male slave saw the crystal, he immediately showed a look of extreme eagerness, and hurriedly said: "I am willing to do anything to repay your generosity." ”
"It will be your honor to be able to do things for me, you lucky ant." Xu Renjie's eyebrows jumped slightly when he heard this, raised his hand and threw a piece of crystal to this guy, and let him eat it in a big gulp.
At this moment, the crowd immediately became commotion, and more than a dozen male slaves in the front row rushed forward almost at the same time, and the people behind them even shouted and squeezed forward, if it weren't for the blood guards to immediately take action to maintain order, the scene was almost out of control on the spot.
Even so, there were still more than a dozen guys who successfully rushed to Xu Renjie to ask for crystals, because the crystals under Xu Renjie's feet were not enough, and they also fought with each other, but this is of course a situation that Xu Renjie is happy to see, because in this way, they will scramble to answer their own questions, and the possibility of lying will become very low.
So, after Xu Renjie's inquiries and these guys' gossip answers, Loulan quickly understood the basic situation here.
It turned out that due to the sudden appearance of many teleportation arrays to the human world on the Tianfeng Continent, some underworld tribes came to the human world through the teleportation array, and soon, they were surprised to find that the reserves of revenant crystals in the human world were extremely rich, just like the early Tianfeng Continent, and almost everywhere were undeveloped revenant crystal mines.
And the Soul Crystallization is the only source of food for the Hades, and it is really extremely important to the Hades.
As one of the countless races in the Heavenly Wind Continent, although the Hades have a population of millions, their territory is very scattered, because they are restricted by the indispensable food of the Revenant Crystal, they can only disperse and live in places where there are Revenant Crystals resources.
Revenant crystallization is a thing, just like an oil field, belonging to the category of mineral deposits, carbon has evolved into oil after tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, and the same is true for revenant crystallization, large cemeteries, battlefield sites that have died hundreds of thousands of people have evolved for tens of thousands of years, and a revenant crystallization mine has been formed, although such a place is not difficult to find in the human world, but it is already very scarce on the Tianfeng Continent.
The reserves of the Revenant Soul Crystals in the Tianfeng Continent were originally extremely rich, so in the early days, the exploitation of the Underworld was unrestrained, and a large amount of food led to a surge in the population of the Underworld, and the population of the Underworld at its peak had reached billions, and the population of such a scale led to the consumption of the Revenant Crystals being astronomical, which made the reserves of the Revenant Crystals on the Tianfeng Continent decrease sharply.
What's worse is that the lifespan of the underworld is almost eternal, as long as there is enough food, the underworld will not die!
Finally one day, the soul crystals were completely mined, and a large number of the underworld who lost their food starved to death, and the number declined rapidly, and finally became millions of people now, relying on the few remaining barren mines, struggling to survive, and the vast majority of people, especially low-status underworld men, lived a life of eating the last meal and not the next.
Under such circumstances, the importance of the Revenant Crystallization Mine in the human world to the Hades can be imagined, and it must be mined.
At this time, the Bone Soul Palace where Loulan and the others are located is a collection base for the Soul Crystals of the Soul Crystal, which is built by gathering the strength of the entire twelve Hades tribes in the Dark Mountain Range, and the daily output of this collection base is equivalent to one-third of the total collection of the entire Tianfeng Continent, which can feed these twelve tribes for at least a year, considering that the reserves here are rich enough to be mined for a whole year, that is, a large grain depot that is enough to consume more than three hundred years.
"How did you transport the mined Revenant Soul Crystals back to the Heavenly Wind Continent" After listening to what these guys said, Xu Renjie suddenly interrupted them and asked, "I don't remember that the Bone Soul Palace still has the function of transportation. ”
"Of course it's with a teleportation array" The old puppet said as a matter of course when he heard this, after this guy ate a large piece of revenant crystal, he actually gave birth to a new leg directly, and the whole person became energetic, even the original tattered clothes on his body actually became neat and clean, just like the two people just now.
"Teleportation array?" Xu Renjie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Your consciousness is that the teleportation array can directly teleport the revenant soul crystals back to the Heavenly Wind Continent?" ”
"It's not just the revenant crystal, that teleportation array can teleport anything," the second puppet said, "In the earliest days, there were many people from the walking corpse clan here who went to the Tianfeng Continent through the teleportation array. ”
"The Walking Dead?" When Xu Renjie heard this, he immediately glanced at Loulan, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes, obviously, the "walking corpse" in the mouth of the old puppet and the second child should be zombies, which means that the zombie virus should have infected the Tianfeng Continent at this time.
"Then what about you, can you also return to the Heavenly Wind Continent through the teleportation array?" Loulan asked.
"It's as easy as passing through a door," the second puppet grinned when he heard this, "But I've only been back a few times, and now there are special transport personnel over there, so we just need to throw the crystals into the teleportation array." ”
