Sixty-Seven - The Key to the Future

"Your 'Prison Flame' is now back for you, but have you made some changes to the composition materials and need to test the knife?"

"No, even if Sister Yonglin says so, what do you want me to cut?"

The matter of assisting Xue Hongchen in exploring under the cave passed without any danger. In the end, it was confirmed that there were no more missing places or secret passages, and the latest map was drawn, including the beast road excavated by a certain "Calamity Beast", which was the seventh day when Ji Yuehua began to follow Xue Hongchen and the others. Although he had encountered other A-rank "Calamity Beasts" more than once on the way, it was difficult to say that there was any danger because of the presence of Xue Hongchen, who was the division commander. In the remaining three days, Ji Yuehua basically just followed Xue Hongchen and the others to walk, just in case of an emergency, she brought a little red "Divine Crystal" back to Bayi Yonglin every time.

Then, in the middle of the eleventh day.

When Yue Qingque had almost cleaned up the "Calamity Beasts" in the jungle area of the South Coast Base Camp, and Xue Hongchen had not found a new "Calamity Beast" or secret passage when he patrolled the mine for nearly two whole days, Eight Meaning Yonglin called Ji Yuehua this morning and returned the "Prison Flame" she had taken to him.

I was finally able to say goodbye to that temporary weapon, although I was a little sorry for deliberately making that temporary weapon exactly the same as "Hell Flame" in terms of shape, size, and weight, but if you are used to using a weapon, you are a weapon that you are used to. Even though it's the same on a physical level, emotionally it just feels a little awkward.

At this moment, holding this "old friend" who had not seen him for nearly ten days with both hands, Ji Yuehua pulled the "Prison Flame" out of the scabbard and gently stroked the blade. Try to feel the change in the blade.

The change in the scabbard is not much, but in addition to the flame pattern in the middle, some soaring flames are added, which is purely a cosmetic change. However, the body of the knife is different.

It can be felt that it is from a level. Evolution to another level, as if reborn as a sharp change.

The heat that could be felt even through the scabbard became hot in the blink of an eye when it was pulled out. Even though the air conditioner was on, it was as hot as if it was exposed to the scorching summer sun. After Ji Yuehua pulled out the knife from the sheath, the indoor temperature rose by at least forty degrees, and all this happened on the premise that he did not ignite the flame on the knife.

"How does it feel?"

"The 'divine energy' that can be felt from the blade has become much stronger, and it used to feel warm when I touched it, but now. Even I, who have become a little accustomed to the heat, are starting to feel hot, and I can't say whether the "quantity" or "quality" has changed greatly, but both are better than before, and they have become more difficult to control. ”

It wasn't until the palm of his hand was burned by the blade of the knife that he reluctantly inserted the "Prison Flame" back into the sheath. Ji Yuehua exhaled, raised her head and asked, "Sister Yonglin, you extract the energy of the red 'Divine Crystal'. Saved in the blade?"

If that's all there is, isn't the "metaphorical energy" just a one-time consumable? I'm not going to do such a stupid thing. ”

did not deny Ji Yuehua's speculation. At the same time, he did not shy away from pointing out the shortcomings in his speculation.

Eight Meaning Yonglin picked up a shard of spar placed on the table with two fingers, held the shard shard in front of her eyes, and suddenly, the words changed and said, "Do you know how this red "Divine Crystal" is different from the ordinary blue "Divine Crystal"?"

"The 'metaphorical energy' contained in it is strong?"

"Nonsense! What about other than that? I just don't know, at least give me a guess!"

"That's too strong, isn't it? I've been following Brother Xue these days. I don't know what the research results of Sister Yonglin are here."

Regarding Bayi Yonglin's unreasonable request, Ji Yuehua protested without thinking.

Having said that, though, he's just complaining verbally. The little head obediently carried out thinking about this topic.

Things that are not interesting, Bayi Yonglin will rarely do. This question. At first glance, it seems to be a blank space, and the range of answers that can be answered is completely proportional to the breadth of the blue sky, but if he really didn't even have a chance to answer, Bayi Yonglin would not have put on such an attitude of asking him to think for himself.

Based on this assumption, as long as he can get rid of the feeling of confusion and fear of looking for a needle in a haystack in his heart, he may not be as difficult as he imagined to answer this question correctly.

No, to the extent he knows, it could be more straightforward than that. In the conversation just now, maybe the answer he needed was hidden.

"Wait, shouldn't I?"

Following this line of thought, Ji Yuehua quickly thought of a possibility.

The question is raised by Wing Lam after denying the one-time nature of the "metaphorical energy", in other words

"Shouldn't this red 'Divine Crystal' be able to recover the consumed 'Divine Energy' on its own like our 'Stigma' holders?" Ji Yuehua's eyes widened and said in a voice that was not very sure.

As the adjutant of the 13th Division and the deputy director of the Technology Development Bureau, he is well aware of the difference between the "Divine Crystal" and the holder of the human "Stigmata".

The holder of the "Stigmata" is an acquired product, which is generated by the implantation of the "Divine Stigmata" with a special bead material, due to cellular mutation. Among them, although the "metaphorical energy" in the "stigma" holder's body will become stronger with the growth of the holder, generally speaking, that "energy" is far inferior to the "metaphorical energy" contained in the natural spar in terms of "purity" and "total amount".

Excluding some special cases that are not as strong as humans, such as the current military marshal Dongfang Canglong, in addition to being able to naturally recover through the passage of time, in short, the "metaphorical energy" of the holder of the "Stigma" is not comparable to the natural "metaphor crystal" at all.

On the other hand, "mythical crystals" are naturally grown. The "metaphorical energy" contained in the "crystal" is overwhelming, and if the energy in the "crystal" is completely extracted and compressed into a bomb, the "energy" contained in a whole crystal growing on the ground is enough to blow a building into ruins.

Too strong and pure energy cannot be regenerated, weak and impure energy infiltrated with impurities is restored every day, innate and acquired are like two extremes, forming a strange balance, this is what Ji Yuehua understands about the knowledge of "metaphorical energy".

Although his "Hell Flame" carries a certain degree of "Divine Energy", it is mainly through him pouring the "Divine Energy" in his body that he can exert its due power and replenish the amount used, and it is also because of this.

"To put it more accurately, the natural recovery amount of the red 'Divine Crystal' is one million to two million times higher than that of the ordinary blue 'Divine Crystal'."

"Really fake"

Then, the balance in Ji Yuehua's cognition was broken now.

Two million or something, such a number has never appeared in Ji Yuehua's life.

Although the answer was affirmed, however, the previous knowledge was overturned, and when he heard such a huge number, Ji Yuehua's heart was only full of surprise.

The appearance of this red "metaphorical crystal" not only broke his cognition, but more importantly, subverted the original balance.
