Chapter 058: The Clue of the Gem
Because there are no special resources here, although there are many zombies, there will be no shortage in other places, after all, there are billions of people on the earth.
And he now needs powerful materials to be used as the middle channel of the magic circle, filtering and absorbing the energy in the gem for advancement.
Annihilation is still an eighth-level apprentice, and in the case of zombies having other functions, even if he has energetic gems, there is no way to advance.
Then, he silently refined the black line, but he didn't notice that the gem on the side flickered slightly.
*****
"Haha, today's harvest is good, you see, there are a lot of canned food here, this guy hides it very tightly."
Liu Qingbitter kicked open the back of a small supermarket and said without looking back.
"How can I see it so clearly!" Liu Miaomiao rummaged through the shelves, opened a bag of snacks and ate it.
Behind them were a few strong, ordinary people who packed up all the useful items they found and prepared to ship them back.
The summer flood had slowly dissipated not long before, and they had been out in groups since five months ago in search of food, for annihilation had been recuperating in the mountains, and had driven them to a high ground far from the hills, where they could not leave.
At first, they first found a small boat to explore the surroundings, and then divided into two or three teams to hunt zombies, and the food they found was handed over to the selected ordinary people to pack and carry, so as not to delay their progress.
In this way, they took turns to train the troops, and they have been training until today.
When the big men loaded everything they found, Liu Qing shouted bitterly: "Go back, I'll go and see if the boss has any words today, and then decide what to do next." ”
The group returned to the outside of the town together, where they parked their boats, although the water in the Yangtze River has been much smaller, but if no one cares about the water in these low-lying places, it will not subside for the time being, and will only form a big lake wave.
"I don't know how Huo Yong is doing, whether he has found a way out." Sitting on the boat, watching the ordinary people around him paddling hard, Wang Jia also picked up snacks and ate them, not forgetting to worry about the current situation, they were surrounded here, and the places around them were full of zombies, and there were a lot of monsters in the stagnant water, and it was easy to have accidents if you walked on the water for a long distance.
And to the south is blocked by the Yangtze River, and to the east is even more looking for death, that is the magic capital, even if it has been flooded for a few months, it is also one of the cities with a lot of zombies, they have already learned in the surrounding area, and the few that appear here are because they have been cleaning up and annihilating the powerful monsters to level.
Huo Yong has been collecting this situation, and he also brought Huang Yuying, who has a good sight, and Zhao Baojin, who has a strong recovery ability, as assistants.
"Don't worry, it's much easier to wait for the boss to come out." Liu Qing said bitterly.
"It's not that easy, you haven't seen it." Wang Jia glanced at him, "I'm definitely not afraid of hundreds of thousands of zombies, but it's a group of tens of thousands of zombies, not a group of ......."
"It's all a trivial matter, let's make a hot air balloon and fly over." Liu Qing worked hard to promote his plan, "Let me tell you, I experimented that day, and it was very safe...... What's wrong with that? ”
Liu Qingku, who was full of excitement, was stunned for a moment, and looked at the direction of the hill in the distance in surprise.
Wang Jia and the others also looked over and found that the fog on the hill in the distance was like a tornado rushing into the weather.
"Quick, paddle there." Wang Jia hurriedly said.
"Is this the boss's doing, isn't he about to finish healing?" Liu Miao Miao said.
"I hope it's him." Wang Jia replied.
Because if it weren't for him, it would be terrible, this formation is not small, and Annihilation doesn't know if the injury is healed.
******
Annihilation's injuries were not yet healed, and when he had just refined the black line, a situation appeared.
The gem suddenly surged with a large amount of energy, drifting meaninglessly, and woke him up.
He thought that there was a situation in the secret realm, and the gem was the key to the secret realm, and now was the time for the secret realm to open, so he immediately prepared to enter it.
But.
A moment later.
It was discovered that something was wrong, and the gem seemed to be under extremely strong oppression, making a thin "creaking" sound, as if it was about to shatter.
This situation made him understand why the gem was broken into three petals, but he didn't understand what was going on.
Since it's not the secret realm that opens, is there something inside that wants to come out?
He cautiously used his spiritual power to probe, but there was nothing else in it except the swarming violent energy, and it was not so easy to survive in this situation.
In this unclear situation.
The energy of the gem became stronger and stronger, overturning the surrounding tents, and the annihilation injury was not yet fully healed, so he didn't dare to get close, so he had to stand in the mist and use his mental power to perceive and deal with it at any time.
Slowly.
The mist was driven by the momentum of the gem, and the speed of the fluttering speed increased, bringing up the corroded dust on the ground, but there was no obstacle to annihilation, he had already imprinted the formation on his chest, and these fogs were also effective for the sixth-level apprentice at most, as long as he took precautions, there would be no harm at all.
Then the momentum grew louder and louder, forming a tornado that rushed into the sky.
That's when it happened.
Trying to distinguish the annihilation of the gem's madness, he was stunned.
His sensitive mental power sensed something that no one else had yet to discover - another mysterious eruption had arrived.
After half a year, this outbreak appeared, and the accumulated energy must be more turbulent, and there will be more resources and powerful monsters in the future.
But.
"What's the relationship with this gem?"
Annihilation doesn't think that the sudden outburst of gems has nothing to do with the explosion of mystical energy.
There must be a connection, but he doesn't know it.
He carefully recalled the information in his memory, trying to find the connection.
"The Secret Realm Collapsed? Expansion of the secret realm? Or is it a secret sublimation? ”
There was no such thing as a mysterious outbreak in the world of the Mirror Wheel for a long time, only a few scattered records and inferences, as well as the limited information he had found from the void creatures.
But it doesn't help the current situation, the mysterious outbreak is not specifically aimed at something, it just expands the access channel of this world, and why does the gem react so strongly?
And it was still a reaction of oppression, and the "creaking" sound of the gem was even more obvious, as if it was about to shatter.
This makes Annihilation a little depressed, and he still wants to use his energy to advance, and if he explodes, he will accompany him.
It's a pity that the gem's current energy is too violent, and he can't get close, so he can only use his mental power to sense the situation.
Just when I was worried, suddenly.
A terrifying fluctuation came, and then disappeared again, only existed for a short moment, if it weren't for the annihilation of the spiritual power firmly locking the gem, it would have almost been missed.
"This ......"
Annihilation was stunned, this fluctuation is so familiar.
"Click"
The subtle sound did not escape his perception, and the gem shattered abruptly after the terrifying fluctuations, turning into several small fragments.
And its furious energy seemed to have been consumed a lot, and it was also affected by the fragmentation, and it slowly decreased, and the fog in the sky began to slowly fall again.
But Annihilation didn't pay attention to these anymore, and he didn't even look at the gem, but grabbed the feeling of the terrifying fluctuation just now and thought about it carefully.
"This is the fluctuation of the opening of the secret realm!"
Compare it with your memory and you'll understand the source.
Although the attributes and sizes of the secret realm are different, they all involve the mystery of space, and there will be a certain amount of similarity, which is also the most important means for them to find the secret realm, so they have studied a lot.
Secret realms are generally very stable, even if they expand, collapse, and sublimate, they are completely different from this gem - secret realms cannot be carried.
He had never seen or even heard that the secret realm could be carried with him, even if it was an ancient wizard, he was trying to fuse the secret realm, rather than shrinking it and taking it with him.
This is not the right direction!
Then only the clues of pure theory remain.
Seeing that the energy of the gem was still decreasing, Annihilation walked over to take a closer look.
The gem had been shattered into five small pieces—smaller than what he had lost.
Then he ignored his injury, picked up a piece and felt the energy inside, and found that it was still the same mess and the same strength.
But annihilation has already been roughly predicted in his mind, and now it is time to find out if the answer is right.
According to the terrifying fluctuations just now, he began to use mana simulation, hoping to attract energy and find clues.
"Bang"
Just when the mana simulation was strengthened and gradually matched with the fluctuations, the reaction given by the gem was to blow him up.
But Annihilation rolled on the ground a few times, but his face was full of joy.
He finally understood.
The gem had just exploded his energy flow, and it was the most crucial clue.
But.
Annihilation was still a little incredulous.
Looking at the gems that were scattered by the air current, he muttered to himself, "If the academy knew about this, it would definitely go crazy!" ”
Because he understood from the reaction of the gem that the gem fragment was indeed a secret realm.
But.
It was not a complete secret realm, and combined with its abnormal reaction to the mysterious outburst, Annihilation had a great deal of confidence in his mind that it was a remnant of a secret realm.
That's right.
An unformed secret realm had an accident and was compressed into the shape of a gemstone.
According to his guesses.
The gem is supposed to have been crushed directly by the collision of rules when it erupted mysteriously.
After all, at the beginning, the mysterious energy was not abundant, and the help for the formation of the secret realm was limited, and it seemed normal for accidents to occur......
No wonder he had never seen it before, as it must have only appeared at the very beginning of the mysterious outbreak.
The secret realm wanted to break through this new world and become a unique existence, but the mysterious energy was not strong enough, so it was tragically crushed, leaving only a little residue, and it was slowly crushed and dissipated by the fluctuations of the rules.
And the mirror wheel world has long passed this stage, and it has perfectly integrated the mysterious energy, so that the existence of gems can no longer be seen.
Annihilation couldn't help but laugh.
It is always pleasant to gain knowledge that has never been heard of before, not to mention that he is going to attack a ninth-level wizard, which will give him great vision and cognition, allowing him to perfect his knowledge and spells.
But that's for later.
Now the first thing that comes to his mind is.
"There's not just one secret realm! There will definitely be a lot of secret realms that have been crushed into gems, obtained by people, animals, and plants, and then their strength will soar, just like zombies, vine leaders, and dryads. ”
And I'm going to step up too!
