Chapter 204: Phantom Crystal

The shaking came suddenly, and it didn't last long, and when the rumbling outside died down, Litch walked slowly out with Saya.

Inside the passage, the surrounding walls lit up again, but they were not as bright red as when they came, and after they already knew what these things were, the two of them naturally avoided them.

Quickly returning to the outside of the statue, Leach was surprised to find that the outside had completely changed.

The flames were still burning, but the pillars fell to the ground. In addition, in the center of the original sea of fire, a piece collapsed.

The most obvious difference was that before the two of them entered, the stone statue was empty in its right hand, which was now holding a stone greatsword in its right hand.

The tip of the greatsword was right at the secret door that the two of them had found when they first arrived.

What surprised Leach the most was that the stone statue that had been embedded in the wall had moved a long distance forward, and where it had been, a staircase leading down was revealed.

As for the secret door that was first discovered, it had also been opened, but it was now filled with blazing flames, and it was unlikely that they would be able to enter from there again.

Seeing that the sea of fire was about to spread towards the road dragged out by the stone statue, the two hurriedly climbed to the ground.

The staircase behind the statue was frighteningly wide, eye-sightly large enough for dozens of people to walk down side by side, but as it progressed deeper, the staircase became narrower and narrower, and at the end it was enough for one person to go alone.

At the end of the staircase was a black iron door without any handles.

Above the iron door, there is a circular groove, and there is no decoration other than that.

Leach tried to push it, but the iron door did not move, and gradually increased his strength, and it was still the same. Then he carefully poked the circular groove with his black blade, from which the sound of the machine turning, but the iron door did not open there, as if a certain key was needed.

"Leach, you ......try it with the handle of your black blade," Saya said suddenly as he was figuring out how to open the iron door.

Hearing this, Leach was stunned: "Why do you say that?"

"Leave it alone, give it a try!"

Confused, Leach aimed the hilt of the black blade into the groove.

"Look, nothing happened, did it?"

"Give it a turn and give it a try!" Saya urged with eyes fixed on the groove, despite Leach's nagging.

"What the hell......" muttered as Leach turned the black blade clockwise.

Then, after a click, the iron door slowly opened.

"Uh......" Richie, who was about to criticize Saya's unreliable behavior, looked at the open iron door in amazement, and said in a daze, "Saya, how do you know this is okay?"

"I guess!"

"What?"

Seeing Leach's stupid appearance, Saya pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't you think your black blade seems to have a lot to do with this place?" Seriously, Leach, when we get back to Ambrera, you'd better check the books at home to see what your weapon is all about, maybe there will be a surprise!"

Because Leach only picked out the changes in the black blade and said what he could say, Saya didn't know that Leach was more afraid than curious about this family heirloom weapon at this time, so her tone seemed quite relaxed.

Answering vaguely, for fear that the other party would see the unnaturalness on his face, Leach hurriedly beckoned Saya to walk towards the iron gate.

The space inside the iron door is not large, much smaller than the room where the stone statue is located. Directly in the direction of the iron gate, there is a pool of gushing spring water. Above the pool, a lilac bead floats.

The beads emit a soft purple light, and the spring water is also covered with a trace of purple gas, which looks very fairy at first glance.

"Is this ......?" said Leach, a little surprised.

"It's a phantom crystal!" Unlike Leach's uncertainty, Saya didn't hesitate to draw conclusions after seeing the appearance of the beads.

As soon as the words were spoken, the expression on Saya's face changed, and he continued as if he wanted to cover it: "Look, Leach, the appearance of the bead is very similar to the picture that Lord Wright showed us, isn't it?"

Leach was immersed in the surprise of accidentally obtaining the phantom crystal, but he didn't notice that something was wrong with Saya, and said excitedly when he heard this: "It should be right, haha, fortunately we followed Kumar to participate in the big competition this time, if we stay on the side of the Wind Owl tribe, I don't know what year and month we will be able to get a little bit of useful news! Tsk, Phantom Crystal, I didn't expect to be found so easily, it's so good!"

After the excitement, Leach couldn't wait to step forward and get the illusion crystal out of the pool.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Saya suddenly shouted "danger".

The good habit of being an adventure hunter all year round made Leach choose to trust his companion without hesitation, and he didn't bother to take the illusion crystal within reach, and hurriedly jumped to the side.

Immediately afterward, Leach felt something sharp fly past his ear, causing a whining of wind.

It took a few rolls before Litch steadied himself. Then he saw that the pool was surrounded by sharp spears, and that the spring water was slowly flowing down from the cracks.

After seeing what happened clearly, Leach was afraid for a while, if it wasn't for Saya to remind him in time, he himself would have reacted quickly enough, and he was afraid that he would have been pierced into a hedgehog at this moment.

Patting the dirt on his body, Leach quickly stood up, and after making sure that Saya was not injured either, leaned over to the pool again.

This time, Leach took action with twelve points of caution, and kept pointing forward with one foot, making sure that there were no anomalies before taking a small step forward.

With a distance of less than ten meters, Leach walked for five minutes.

Leaning back to the edge of the pool, Leach was about to pick up the floating phantom crystal, but suddenly remembered something, and quickly retracted his hand again.

Saya was wondering what he wanted to do, when Leach pulled out the black blade from behind his back, tore off a rag from his clothes, and after a few simple fiddles, a simple net pocket hung on the tip of the black blade's sword.

Then Saya saw Leach leaning back exaggeratedly, but his arms were stretched forward as best he could, and the posture looked very funny.

With all his might, Leach finally retrieved the crystal from the pool.

Before he could rejoice, the pool, which had already been shot into a thousand holes, shattered completely as if it had suddenly lost its support the moment the illusion crystal left.
