"The battle is over for the time being, and now it's time for the assessment." Rhines walked over to the fighting members of the family, "Tell me, what information did you get from the battle just now?" Anyone can answer. ”

Roselle—the young captain raised his hand.

"The newly grown Soul Wounded Beast doesn't have combat experience, so using a normal strategy can easily get it hooked to achieve what we want to achieve." Rossiel tilted her head and thought for a moment, "The other one seems to have more defense, so Lord Lillian was weakening its abilities and activating a certain state of interest - I think it's a special state that can increase its attack ability and speed, but it has a time limit, and after the status is gone, it will be even more vulnerable than before." ”

Reins walked up to her and watched her carefully: "Go on. ”

"The battle we just fought may not be the quickest way to do it. At the time of the death of the two soul-wounding beasts, I was sure I heard what looked like some kind of crystal shattering, and I didn't think it was a coincidence. Rosiel's expression became serious, "If we have a way to directly attack that crystal, maybe we can make the Soul Wound Beast die directly." But I didn't observe the presence of crystals, so they should be inside the Soul Wounding Beast. ”

Rossiel hesitated, but continued.

"I have an uncertain guess, just now Lord Lillian was able to determine the attribute that the Soul Breaker fears through the magic you cast, and since Lord Lillian does not have the talent for magic, I think Lord Lillian determined it by the reaction of the Soul Wound Beast or the amount of damage it was dealt, then I think we should also be able to judge which choice is based on the different inscriptions engraved on our weapons."

"Yes, basically correct." Reins applauded, "That crystal is the core of the Soul Wounding Beast, because the Soul Wounding Beast is created, and each one of them is, even the cubs are surviving with the function of the core as the heart, and it is this core that allows the Soul Wounding Beast to inject the toxin into the soul through the wound." As long as you can find the location of the core and break through its defenses one at a time, then you can kill it instantly. ”

The silver-haired mercenary held up a transparent irregular crystal in his hand.

"Look, it's almost this kind of thing, but the cores in their bodies don't have as much energy as this one, because Rossos can't control the crystal nucleus of this energy, they can only separate this crystal nucleus into pieces and use it." She handed the crystal to Rossiel, who cautiously reached out and took it, "Don't be so cautious, that thing doesn't break easily, and it won't have any effect on people when it's not maliciously modified—actually, as far as I know, this is the power source used by some of your combat machines." ”

Reins glanced in Appaya's direction.

"As for the influence of the magic of different elements, each Soul Wounding Beast is different, and the specific reason is also affected by the crystal nucleus. Crystal nuclei carry different elements of their own without special treatment, and some of them even carry curses and toxins - which is why I was shocked to know that some people want to take it away with their bare hands and use it as a power source. ”

She gave Apaya a smirk, who sighed helplessly.

"As long as they are treated, they can have only the elements and no other negative effects, and of course, they can also convert all the elements into energy, like this one, which will be more durable." She retrieved the crystal nucleus that had been passed around and sent back to Rossil's hand again, "This conversion is more advantageous for the machine, but for the soul wounded beast, it will reduce its attack power, so Rossos retains their elemental attributes. ”

"So where can we find these crystal nuclei? If we can cut off the source early, can we leave them without crystal nuclei? Rossiel asked.

"These crystal nuclei have a lot of existence in the ruins of antiquity, and some of the scepters or weapons held by some families should also be inlaid with them, right? Those that are widely used are basically not much energy left, but for ordinary people, they can still make him a warrior of infinite strength. Therefore, it is necessary to say that it is completely severed...... Hopefully, not particularly great. ”

Rhines began to turn and walk in the direction of Apaya, the crystal nucleus floating in her hand, and she spoke one last thing to the members of the battle.

"As for the effects on the Soul Wound itself, because each part of the body has a different defense—yes, if you want to know which element they are afraid of through your abilities, then you need to practice more yourself. The one in the lair I'll ask Leanne to help you fight, and you can use it for practice. ”

The ten members of the battle began to gather and whisper, and Reins walked up to Apaya's side and handed him the white crystal nucleus.

"Oh, here you go."

Appaya looked at her suspiciously, and didn't reach out to take it, Reins directly picked up his hand and placed the crystal nucleus in his.

"This is the green crystal nucleus when we first met." She smirked, "At that time, I felt that a ruin was being attacked with poor methods, and I thought that some newcomer from Roseos wanted to come and take this, so I hurried over, but it turned out to be a reckless engineer who didn't know which family." ”

"I just heard that there was something that could be used as a power source, and it happened that my research needed this, so I didn't expect a mercenary to pop up and start attacking me indiscriminately." Apaya put the crystal nucleus away, then touched her nose, "Don't say anything about taking that crystal nucleus, and taunt me." ”

Reins chuckled softly.

"It's like you've suffered a loss...... That machine almost got me planted in the ruins. Later, when I went to check the ruins of another crystal nucleus with a relatively large aura leak, I also ran into an engineer again. ”

The members of the clan had already packed up their equipment and began to move together in the direction of the lair.

"I thought we'd have another fight at that point, but the ruin's guards interrupted." Apaya pondered, "Then you questioned me why I, as a member of the family, were staring at the crystal nucleus. ”

"I didn't even know how to respond to you when I knew you were going to be a power source." She whispered, "Although the crystal nucleus does have this effect...... But it's more valuable as a function of other things, and I didn't even think that there would be people who just wanted to take away the crystal nucleus as an energy source......"

"Then you explained to me the negative effects that come with the crystal nucleus, and the fact that some people are staring at it to do bad things." Apaya took Rhine's hand, "Then you simply gave me a piece of the purified hedron in your hand." ”

"I thought you could go back and be honest as a civilian, and don't come out again." She complained, "The result? You told Hua Shao about this, and then decided to let you continue to investigate the anomaly, in case something bad for the family would happen. This kind of thing should obviously be handed over to the combatants or the spies of the Ryan family, but you actually asked for it yourself, just for the sake of those crystal nuclei ......"

"Well, if it weren't for this, we wouldn't have gotten to this point so soon."

Looking at the light smile on Apaya's face, Reins thought about something.

"I noticed that your rhetoric is a bit strange." She raised an eyebrow, "What, you're so confident you'll always be with me?" ”

"Shao has long wanted to form an alliance with you, but he has never found an opportunity, and when we meet, there will always be another intersection." Appaya said as a matter of course.

…… It sounds like a set of things that have their own conclusions in the dark. But......

Reins lowered her eyes.

If they didn't have those experiences, he would still like Hua Shao deeply, and she wouldn't have any more thoughts about someone who already liked someone else, and their soul breath wouldn't blend together at all.

— just like now.

Even though the two of them are in a relationship now, their soul aura has always been estranged because of the existence of something, and they can't produce a beautiful white like Huck and Hua Shao.

She didn't want to delve into whether she couldn't let go of Hua Shao's mustard herself, or whether he really hadn't let go of Hua Shao himself, and it was appropriate to investigate everything to the end. Perhaps with the passage of time, that gap between them will naturally disappear.

And now, she just wants to do what she has to do.

At the entrance to a cave, Reins raised his hand for everyone to stop.

"This is the lair, and the lair is not suitable for large-scale operations, so we have two options." She looked at the fighting members of the clan, their faces already sweating from the nearby heat, "First, blast the lair from the outside and turn it into an open battle; Second, in the future, you will develop troops suitable for indoor combat. It is up to you to judge from experience which situation is appropriate. Now since you don't have a small-scale way to fight, and this is a crypt, even if you go in and fight, it will cause the nest to collapse, so choose the first option now. ”

They froze for a moment, and then a man with short aqua blue hair—Reins guessed it was Roselle's brother, Rosser—went into action, and he began to harness his machine, which had some of the external detection instruments that began to glow.

"62 meters ahead, 43 meters underground, there are multiple high-concentration energy reactions!" He declared.

"That's where the lair is!" Rosier made a decision, "The Technics are at the forefront of the defense against the onslaught!" ”

Four machines crouched down at the front of the crowd and assembled a large curved shield in front of them. Rhines stood leisurely in the rear, amazed at the way the family behaved in battle.

With a deafening explosion, the entrance to the cave was gone, and instead was a huge pit.

"Look, if the Soul Wounding Beast is no longer poisonous one day, it can't lose its job if it does some burrowing, right?"

Reine's taunt caused Lillian to let out an unceremonious laugh.
