Many questions cannot be answered by just thinking, and we must find and verify them in practice before we can find what we want to know.

Tang Chen knew this truth very well, so he didn't dwell too much about it, he quickly put down this problem, no longer thought about it, he decided that after finding a barren crystal deposit, he would study it well to see what was so special about it, and then make a plan.

......

When the first person wakes up from a nap, it means that everyone's cultivation and rest for the night are over, and they feel that their cultivation has improved significantly after eating barbecue, and everyone is very satisfied and enjoys this peaceful and enterprising life.

It's just that I don't know how long this life will last......

Soon, everyone cleaned up and gathered around Tang Chen to listen to his arrangement.

"Senior brother, where are we going today?" Tu Zhantian asked.

Tang Chen replied without hesitation: "Continue to look for the Wild Crystal Deposit." ”

What he wanted most now was to find the desolate crystal deposits marked in this area on the map, and then study them carefully to see if they really had the effect of avoiding soul beasts, and if so, he would leave everyone here and go to the Ecstasy Swamp alone.

As for the matter of finding the three-sided desolate crystal, he felt that it was no longer important, and the most important thing was to let everyone save their lives.

If the Shanhe Sect was forced to give up many cities because they didn't find enough desolate crystals, it didn't matter much, and the cities that were relinquished, he would definitely help the Shanhe Sect take them back in the future, and in order to break the cage of the desolate domain, he would even have to take more cities, so it didn't matter if he couldn't find the desolate crystals or not.

Everyone followed Tang Chen on the road again.

This time, Tang Chen did not act separately from everyone, after the previous conversation with the mysterious powerhouse, he realized that in the face of the stronger, his soul sense may not be reliable, rather than leaving everyone behind, it is better to take them with him, in this way, even if something happens, he can resist one or two, and maybe he can win a way out for everyone, if even he can't resist it, then everyone is wiped out here, and it should be like this.

They followed the previously established direction and went all the way.

Half an hour later, Tang Chen's soul consciousness finally found a valley, in terms of appearance, this valley was very similar to the barren crystal deposit he had visited before, it was also surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the mountains were high on three sides and low on one side.

In this valley, the terrain is also relatively flat, and there are some black ellipsoids scattered around, which are the "wild eggs" they are looking for.

"Found it!"

Tang Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately beckoned everyone to speed up and gallop towards the valley.

When he arrived outside the valley, Tang Chen didn't immediately enter the valley, but carefully inspected and studied it on the periphery, he wanted to see what was so special about this place, whether it had something similar to the Isolation Star Array, which could isolate the exploration of soul beasts, or something similar to the Phantom Array, which could prevent soul beasts from finding in the valley?

"Senior brother, what are you looking for, do you want us to help?"

Everyone saw Tang Chen's abnormality, and Tu Zhantian couldn't help asking.

Tang Chen looked at everyone and said, "I heard that the Desolate Crystal Deposit can avoid soul beasts, that is, the kind of monsters I have seen before, so I want to see what is so special about it......

This sentence revealed two new pieces of information at once, one is that "the desolate crystal deposit can avoid monsters", and the other is that kind of monster is called a soul beast, which makes everyone surprised!

They had only rested for three or four hours, and Tang Chen had learned such important information, which was really incredible!

"How the hell did he do it? He didn't go out, and he didn't see him meet any outsiders......

Tang Chen saw everyone's confusion and surprise, but he didn't have any intention of solving everyone's confusion, but ordered: "Senior Brother Tu, you take everyone into the valley to dig up the desolate crystals, and I'll go for a walk around." ”

With that, he continued to walk, seemingly wandering aimlessly, but in fact walking around the valley, carefully examining as he went, not missing a single suspicious place.

After nearly four hours of searching, he looked at the entire periphery of the valley, but did not find any valuable clues, everything was normal and natural, and there was no trace of man-made construction.

"It seems that I have to go to the valley to look for ......"

After this toss, it was time for the daily rest, Tang Chen hurriedly entered the valley and joined the others.

Tu Zhantian handed him a star ring and said, "Senior brother, this is the desolate crystals that everyone collected, a total of five hundred and thirty-six. ”

"Good. Tang Chen took the star ring and said, "Tonight, let's camp and rest in this valley." ”

After the order, everyone immediately got busy.

Tang Chen saw that everyone was setting up tents in different areas as usual, meditated for a moment, and said, "You may have to stay here until the end of the sect competition, so this camp is better." ”

After a pause, he reminded again: "By the way, remember, never destroy anything here, including a single grass or tree." ”

After the explanation, Tang Chen did not start to set up a tent like everyone else, but continued to conduct a carpet survey in the valley.

Everyone obviously saw it and knew what Tang Chen was looking for, but they didn't bother him. The time they have been with Tang Chen is not short, they all know his temper, what he is willing to say, he doesn't need to ask, he will take the initiative to inform, otherwise, if he doesn't want to say, you will ask in vain.

This night, everyone ate barbecue to practice, take a nap and rest as in the past, but Tang Chen didn't stop for a moment, and investigated the entire valley, but the result was still nothing, the only thing that made him feel special was those "wild eggs".

"The location of these 'wild eggs' does not seem to be chaotic, but contains some kind of law, very similar to the star array, but not the star array...... What secrets are hidden here?......"

Tang Chen stood next to the last "wild egg" he had investigated, his eyes fell on the bucket-thick hole on it, and he couldn't help but have a bold idea in his heart.

This hole was left when collecting the desolate crystal, looking at this hole, Tang Chen thought of the nine-sided desolate crystal from the three-sided desolate crystal, and then from the nine-sided desolate crystal to the soul beast.

He remembered one thing that the mysterious powerhouse had said before, saying that the nine-sided desolate crystal was used to cultivate the three-sided desolate crystal as nourishment, although he didn't know what they would do, but he guessed that the three-sided desolate crystal must have strengthened itself by absorbing the soul power in the nine-sided desolate crystal.

"The reason why the three-sided desolate crystal was able to absorb the soul power of the nine-sided desolate crystal is probably related to the mysterious arrangement of these 'desolate eggs'...... Could it be that this mysterious formation has the effect of absorbing the soul power of soul beasts?"

He suddenly remembered the disciples of the Snowy Domain Gate who were turning into desolate crystals, and they were sitting in the position where the "desolate egg" was, as if a black mist was emerging from the ground, and that black mist was probably a kind of soul power.
