It took some time for the entire mercenary group of mercenaries to assemble. During this period, Miss Mermaid, the head of the group, came to Chen Tianci several times. In addition to chatting, the other party was still trying to inquire about Chen Tianci's true origin, but Chen Tianci perfunctory them one by one.

After a few times, the other party also dismissed the idea of listening.

"Sir, this time, we're going to try it out in the Cold Rift. You don't know how strong an attack your skills can resist? The mermaid head asked Chen Tianci.

Chen Tianci was slightly stunned.

Cold Rift, this place he knows. It was a crack in the ocean that was thousands of miles away in the small city. Because the sea inside is unusually cold, it got its name.

Because the water temperature inside is extremely low, it has become a natural breeding ground for king crabs. It is said that there are more than 10,000 king crabs in that area.

But in the same way, the risk factor has increased dozens of times.

It's no wonder that there are very few people from this mercenary group, and it's not fighting for their lives to go to such a dangerous place.

"Why go to that place?" Chen Tianci asked rhetorically.

This small city, Chen Tianci, has already heard clearly during this time. It is a food supply and trading city known for its abundance of king crabs. It provides more than tens of thousands of tons of king crab every year, and is the source of the delicious king crab imported by many city-states.

And the killing of king crabs can be found in the waters near this city by looking at many places. Chen Tianci was also very strange because of this, why did the other party have to go to such a dangerous place to hunt and kill.

The mermaid leader gritted his teeth and said, "I've been stuck in the third order for a long time. I heard that there is a hidden Yuan Stone Mine in the depths of that place, and there are high-level Yuan Stone in the mine that can help with advancement, so I wanted to take the risk and give it a try. If it does, you will be able to break through the realm smoothly and enter the next stage. ”

Chen Tianci nodded slowly.

He understood what the other party meant.

Speaking of which, Chen Tianci is very lucky. Because he has not experienced the brutal competition for resources such as Yuanshi from the outside world. In the world after the prevailing cultivation system, people attach great importance to cultivation resources, and these resources are often controlled by major forces and families, and it is easy for ordinary people to obtain them.

The only way to do that is to look for it in the Borderlands. But this process is full of dangers and hardships.

For example, the woman in front of her, without a strong backer, was able to cultivate to the third order, which was not easy. If you want to go further, it does take a lot of effort.

"High-grade Yuan Stone Mine." Chen Tianci groaned slightly.

"Is this news reliable?" He asked.

The merfolk leader nodded. "I looked for a lot of well-informed people and double-checked."

"My skills were only a little bit on display that day, but they were actually much more powerful. Protecting most of the team members is not too much of a problem. Chen Tianci said.

The other party's eyes lit up suddenly.

A powerful defensive skill is hard to come by, and there are even fewer people who practice this skill.

First, because of the lack of cultivation exercises, there are very few people who can delve into and study this aspect intensively.

Second, because this kind of exercise mainly focuses on defense, the offensive ability will be much worse. And in this era of the jungle, it is difficult to survive without a strong means of attack.

And Chen Tianci not only showed strong defensive ability at the beginning, but also rarely had strong offensive ability, and such characters rarely appeared.

Almost every one of them is the core force of the major city-states.

Therefore, she suspected that Chen Tianci was a nobleman in distress in a big city-state.

Chen Tianci waved his hand, and then added: "However, you also know that defensive skills, for every additional person to protect, the consumption will increase, and now, there are dozens of people here, if all of them are protected, the consumption is too great, and I can't maintain it for too long." ”

What Chen Tianci said, the other party is naturally clear.

But he didn't tell the truth. In fact, with Chen Tianci's current level, it is more than enough to protect a small city, there are only a few dozen people here, and where will it consume too much.

This is just Chen Tianci's attempt to prevent the other party from relying too much on his defensive skills, thus losing his judgment of danger, and bringing everyone to the point of no return.

Although only king crabs are abundant in this area, there are also some terrifying creatures.

For example, the sea snake group that made Chen Tianci very embarrassed at the beginning was a group of high-level snakes with a strength of around the fourth or fifth order. That kind of existence has already made Chen Tianci so embarrassed, if he goes deep into the cold rift, in case of an irresistible situation, Chen Tianci doesn't want to lose the entire group and even his own life because of the other party's overconfidence.

"I know that." The merfolk leader nodded.

She hesitated slightly, reached out and took out a box from the inside of her underwear, and handed it to Chen Tianci.

Chen Tianci didn't answer, but looked at the other party puzzled.

"It's an energy crystal." She explained.

"Energy Crystal?" Chen Tianci was slightly stunned, then reached out and took it, and opened it quickly.

As soon as the box was opened, a purple-black energy crystal appeared in front of Chen Tianci's eyes.

He was slightly startled.

After passing the sixth order, the Yuan Stone is also called the Energy Crystal because the energy contained in it is too large. And the energy spar that appeared in front of Chen Tianci's eyes was clearly a super energy spar that was about to enter the ninth order of the eighth order.

This kind of energy spar Chen Tianci is also the first time he has seen it.

"How can you have such a thing?" Chen Tianci hurriedly asked the other party.

The Eighth-Order Energy Crystal is not something that can be taken out casually. This kind of thing is to explore all the known Yuan Stone Mines There are only a few, and if they are discovered, they will become the treasures of the major city-states and treasure them.

It's good that this one was taken out like this.

What is this trying to do?

The mermaid leader glanced at the energy spar in Chen Tianci's hand with some reluctance, and said slowly: "I got this spar by accident. But because the energy inside it is too large, I can't absorb it without ensuring my own safety, so I can only keep it in storage. ”

She said, looked at Chen Tianci, and said in an extremely affirmative tone: "But if I guess correctly, sir, you must not be a martial artist of the same level as me, and your strength is at least above the fifth order." Am I right? ”

There was an unmistakable look in her eyes.

Chen Tianci raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was very surprised. Unexpectedly, this woman's judgment was so accurate that she almost judged his strength level.

He nodded slightly, but said noncommittally: "It's not much different." ”

The mermaid leader smiled slightly and said, "In that case, this thing must be useful to you, right?" ”

Chen Tianci did not deny it. This kind of unattainable thing is indeed very helpful for his current entry.

"In this case, I will give this thing to you, I hope that in the next operation, you can exert all your strength to ensure the safety of the members of our group." She said.

Chen Tianci thought about it and nodded.

"Yes. I took it. I promised to do it. As long as it is not a situation that threatens my life, I will do my best to protect everyone. He said.

The mermaid leader smiled with satisfaction.

A transaction was successfully completed. Both sides got what they needed, and both were satisfied.

The merfolk leader then leaves.

Chen Tianci quickly blocked the entire small building, and asked Qian Dazhuang and others, who were newly following him, to guard the entire small building. After that, he entered the process of absorbing the energy hedron.
