Chapter Eighty-Eight: Darkclaw
For ordinary people, the lava monster is an invincible existence, but for Lin Xuan, the frontal combat ability of this thing is just like that. An ice-based spell easily solved this battle. It's just that in the next second, Lin Xuan's expression changed. Because in his perception, after he defeated the lava monster. The other lava monster was immediately pregnant. It hasn't taken shape yet, but it won't take long for a new lava cube to spawn.
This time, Lin Xuan's interest was completely aroused. This time it's not just mental power. Lin Xuan directly used a powerful detection magic to forcibly break through the blockade of chaotic energy and come to the center of the volcano.
In his perception, all the chaotic energy came from a point in the center of the volcano. From that point on, it continued to radiate around, forming a chaotic energy belt, thus interfering with Lin Xuan's first snooping.
After wasting some effort, Lin Xuan finally broke through the blockade. Saw a sight in the heart of the mountains. It was a beautiful gem that is hard to describe in words. The very center of the volcano is empty. It just floated there silently. Constantly exuding invisible energy to the four kinds. This is also the source of the interference band that Lin Xuan encountered.
This is a fist-sized pure white, translucent, irregular crystal. It floated in mid-air, quietly emitting a heavy, soft glow. But if you look closely, you can see that inside the crystal, a faint red light is flickering.
Lin Xuan's spirit slowly penetrated into the inside of the crystal. To his surprise, he received some kind of feedback. It was an ignorant, instinctive consciousness. It's like a new life that has just arrived in the world.
There is no need for language to communicate in the spiritual world. Lin Xuan understood what it meant. It's basically asking him who you are and so on. Lin Xuan rang for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" ”
"Me? I am who I am. The nascent consciousness could not understand this rhetorical question, and could only answer it according to its own instinct. But it was enough for Lin Xuan, he already knew what it was. This is the 'heart of the mountains'.
Lin Xuan had seen records about the Heart of the Mountains in many ancient magic books. But he never really encountered it. In fact, even the guys who wrote the books probably never saw them. The 'Heart of the Mountains' is generally thought to have existed in ancient times, when everything had spirits. The heart of a mountain is the spirit of a mountain. It represents the will, strength, life, and so on of the mountain, and if you apply the Eastern concept, it is equivalent to the existence of a mountain god or something.
The Heart of the Mountains is undoubtedly an absolute treasure. Although Lin Xuan didn't know why such a thing appeared in this relatively low-end world, it didn't prevent him from grabbing the treasure. In the temptation just now, Lin Xuan had already discovered that this 'Heart of the Mountains' was not mature, it was still growing. But it will take at least hundreds of years for it to happen. Lin Xuan didn't have time to wait for hundreds of years, so Lin Xuan made a decisive move.
A powerful spirit poured out, and Lin Xuan's unformed will was directly destroyed. It takes hundreds of years for this spirit life to grow. Lin Xuan didn't have the slightest interest in getting a treasure that could only be used after hundreds of years. So he decisively destroyed the will of the Heart of the Mountains. After he succeeded, another lava monster that was already in the process of being conceived immediately lost its breath of life. Turned into a pile of obsidian.
Hank and the others on the side were already stunned at this time. If Nick's surprise rating when he took them into the inner world was ten, it's almost a thousand now. All of the dark creatures they had come into contact with before that could be forcibly explained by genetic mutations. But what they saw tonight had completely subverted their worldview.
A monster made of magma, is it scary? It's not scary at all. Because it only appeared for less than ten seconds, it was turned into a pile of rubble by another, even more terrifying guy. Well, a magician, you can believe it. A living mage defeats a lava cube with a single frost spell. This is clearly the plot of a fantasy adventure novel.
In fact, not to mention them, even the captain from the royal family was taken aback by the strength displayed by Lin Xuan. But when I think of them as a partnership, I put my heart down a little. At least for now, the stronger the partner, the better.
The other side. Lin Xuan's movements increased again. A hurried spell came out of his mouth, and the whole mountain cracked a bottomless crack at his feet. Violent tremors came from underfoot.
"What are you doing, trying to bring down this mountain?" Nick screamed in frustration.
However, Lin Xuan didn't give a response, he was now engrossed in cutting off the connection between the 'Heart of the Mountain Range' and this mountain? These two belong to a symbiote, and it is impossible for a weak country to take away the heart of the mountain range without severing the bonds between them.
With a violent tremor, a deep well that went straight to the center of the mountain range appeared at Lin Xu's feet. A white halo rose rapidly from the deep well, and finally appeared in front of Lin Xuan's eyes. The current 'Heart of the Mountains' has completely detached itself from this mountain, and if there is a system in fantasy novels to answer, the current 'Heart of the Mountains' is equivalent to a super-grade earth-based spirit stone.
Seeing the 'Heart of the Mountains' up close is a great pleasure. However, Lin Xuan didn't intend to let everyone see enough. After a few seconds, he put away the 'Heart of the Mountain'.
"What is this?" After a moment of silence, Nick asked. The rest of the people also pricked up their ears and listened at this moment.
"For you who live in the materialistic world, it is very important to explain this existence. You can think of it as a crystal with some kind of energy. The previous lava cube was created under its energy. Now I took it with me and the problem is solved. Mission ended, Nick. ”
Although all of them had countless questions, Lin Xuan was clearly not interested in explaining to them in detail. No one dared to come forward and ask clearly, so they had to keep it in their hearts, planning to ask Nick properly when they went back.
When parting, the captain found Lin Xuan alone.
"My brother Victor went to Portland. Coming for the key, he targets Nick. ”
"You can tell Nick about this. He's a good partner to work with. ”
"I see, there's one more question." The captain took out a mobile phone, "In a police operation yesterday, a smuggler was killed. We found this in him. ”
In the phone was a corpse, with three black claw marks tattooed on the corpse's bare chest.
"Darkclaw."
