Chapter 520: Collecting Rune Crystals (Part II)

Victor left the camp and, after making a big circle in the neighborhood, diverted to the southeast towards the Carchimosen Grand Canyon.

In order to get out of the sight of his entourage and collect the rune crystals unknowingly, Victor made a lot of foreshadowing in advance. But all the excuses were not false, and he did enjoy bathing in the moonlight and shuttling through the mountains and forests.

As he navigates through the mountains and forests, X-3 has mastered extraordinary agility, transcendent perception, blindness, wind and surge talents, constantly revising the maps in his memory and overlapping them with the real environment. Fallen trees, cluttered vines, hidden potholes, raised rocks, vertical and horizontal ravines, and slippery streams could not slow him down, but rather helped him to accelerate.

The soft air flowed through the veins on his body, like a layer of invisible armor, breaking through the sword-like north wind, shielding the piercing scream of the roar, the two-headed dragon lizard skin combat boots stepped a solid rock, the body was like a sharp arrow, across the 20-meter-wide river valley, lightly landed on the opposite rock wall, a few ups and downs, and disappeared. Like water and moonlight, the air passage of the white mist is dissipating.

Riding against the wind and galloping freely is the romance of the moon elves.

Victor ran continuously at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour for 1 hour and 43 minutes, stopping on the branch of a tall oak tree, only feeling happy and hearty, everything around him was reflected in his mind without omission, even if he did not enter the state of life and death, he could clearly feel the cheers of the blood of the moon elves, and he almost couldn't help but let out a long howl.

He realized that his Moon Elf bloodline had further awakened, and at this moment, he could easily grasp the Wind Whisper talent and become a true golden bloodline by simply accepting it and embracing it.

However, this is not a good thing for X-3 and the human bloodline!

Victor suppressed the urge to growl, calmed the instincts in his veins, and forced himself to shift his attention to the nearby hills.

That's the pass on the east side of the Cavimoson Grand Canyon, and the core of the earth is on it!

There is no movement of birds and beasts here, only the mournful cry of the mountain wind blowing through the woods, like a dead field where life is extinct, and even the bright moonlight has become miserable and dim, adding a bit of gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. Even people with no experience in the wilderness can feel the danger hidden in the dark. If it's a mountain hunter, they'll just turn around and stay away from the area.

There may be a new "lord" nearby.

Victor quickly scanned the surroundings, and soon found a faint outline in a dark bush of thorns, X-3 referenced the image in his memory, automatically completed the lines of the outline, and sketched in his mind an alchemical mastiff curled up and sleeping with his head in his mind.

"Useless stupid dog, someone came without noticing, see if I don't kill you. ”

A hint of mischief flashed in Victor's heart, and the mastiff instantly opened its green eyes, erected its ears, its mane exploded, and its sturdy body the size of a calf swelled in a circle, and its lips rolled up, revealing its cold fangs and sharp teeth, which looked extremely terrifying. It let out a low, powerful roar in its throat and slammed out of the thorn bushes and swirled under the oak trees. In the distance, the howls of five alchemy mastiffs were heard from different directions, and they were rapidly approaching here, and after a while, they gathered under the branch where Victor was.

"It's me. ”

Victor jumped off the high canopy, and the six fierce alchemy mastiffs immediately clung to their ears, stuck out their tongues, and rushed forward, flicking their big tails desperately, and trying to curry favor with their masters.

"Don't lick me!

Victor hurriedly stopped the alchemy mastiffs who wanted to pounce on them, touched their heads one by one, and smiled with satisfaction: "Let's go, let's go see the alchemy tower." ”

The alchemy mastiff hugged Victor up the hill, and more than 20 sturdy figures also surrounded him from all directions, wearing old leather armor, equipped with hunting bows, long forks, short axes, and net ropes, all dressed as mountain hunters, and bowed to Victor one after another.

Victor untied the Eagle Wing Bow and two quivers, threw them to a burly bald man, and asked excitedly, "Brute, has the core of the earth changed?"

Manniu, one of the first barberry militiamen, is currently 7 and a half years old, he has been reselling illicit goods with the Warhammer smuggling merchant group all year round, and his mind has reached the level of a young man, and he can fully understand the words of his master.

"No change. Ten days ago, the nearby cottage sent people to clean up the floating soil of the core of the earth for the last time, and they should not send people again until the end of this year's rainy and snow season. Manniu said.

Victor nodded, quickened his pace, and commanded as he went: "The barberry militia follow me, and the others disperse the guard." ”

The Spirit Monkey Militia led the alchemy mastiff to quickly leave the hill and spread out in all directions, leaving the 8 barberry militia to follow Victor closely.

Soon, Victor saw the core of the earth.

Round, smooth, heavy, and abrupt, the brilliance of the silver moon shines through the mist of pus, and crosses a layer of mysterious yellow halo for it, showing its extraordinary. Victor couldn't hide his excitement, took off his armor made of dragon lizard skin and pure gold, stepped forward, and pressed his slender palm to the surface of the core of the earth, but finally hesitated.

For tonight's collection operation, Victor has made long and thorough preparations, taking into account all the details. For example, find out in advance the rules of the Navel people's monitoring and management of the core of the earth, and the nearby cottage regularly inspects the condition of the core of the earth once a month, but the weather is cold and damp in the season of water, the mountain fog is filled, and the environment is treacherous, at this time the beasts that are still hunting outside have become extremely fierce, and the villagers will not go out to adventure in the season of water, so they can only wait until the spring of the next year to continue the task of cleaning up the core of the earth.

Victor couldn't be sure how long it would take for the No. 7 Alchemy Tower to fuse rune crystals, but by choosing today, he would be able to set aside a full three months. Even if he fails to successfully fuse the rune crystals tonight, arrange for the alchemy war mastiff to dress up as a ferocious beast, block the way for the villagers to go out, and prevent accidents, the brute bull is responsible for monitoring the fusion process, once the rune crystals are successfully fused, Victor will run out to collect the rune crystals under the pretext of cultivating the blood of the moon elves.

These are just the details, though. What will happen to the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda fused rune crystal, Victor has no bottom in his heart.

In the worst-case scenario, the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda was also completely damaged and died, and Victor died on the spot due to the soul binding!

In the best case, the No. 7 Alchemy Tower was successfully fused, and Victor not only had the more powerful No. 7 Alchemy Tower, but also explored a set of methods to collect the alchemy tower rune crystals until the glorious achievements of the Alchemy Empire were restored!

It's a fateful gamble!

Death and the unknown are the source of fear and excitement, and Victor's heart contracts violently, pumping blood to his brain, the water element in his body surging unconsciously, and his eyes glow with golden light. If he was in a state of inner vision of life and death at this time, he would be pleasantly surprised to find that his human bloodline and the moon elf bloodline were pulsating at the same time. Unfortunately, X-3 detected that the hormone levels soared due to intense mood swings, endangering the life and health of the subject, so he operated autonomously, quickly calmed down his emotions, and put him into an absolutely calm overrun state.

No one can be considered exhaustive, and no one can fully grasp all the changes. The development of things is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if you can't keep up with the situation, you will be eliminated, and the former help will be reduced to a stepping stone, this is the case in Yeliu City, and the same is true for No. 7 Alchemy Tower. The current structure of the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda can no longer keep up with the growth of the Randall family, and if it maintains its current state, it will be of less and less use to me. I'm preparing to work with the Wizards of the Kite Castle to study the secrets of the Soul Bloodline. The Randall family's psychic warriors have been formed, which can completely replace the current No. 7 alchemy. I have an alternative, even if No. 7 alchemy is damaged.

However, things did not go my way, and there were signs that I had been embroiled in a wrestling with an unknown existence, representing the side of the revival of the Alchemy Empire. The Randall family, the Golden Regiment, and the Soul Warriors are my cards to break free from the shackles of fate, but I still need the help of Alchemy Tower 7 to get through this gap. If I reject the trajectory of fate now, it is very likely that the revival mission of the Alchemy Empire will be transferred to someone else and become my mortal enemy!

In other words, the probability that I will succeed in collecting the Rune Crystal is very high!Moreover, relying on the Psychic Warrior and the Lord of Radiance may not be able to fight against the powerful enemy who will disintegrate the Alchemy Empire.

I and my loved ones will die! Everything I cherish will be destroyed!

Victor's mind turned, calmly analyzed the gains and losses, quickly completed the psychological construction, turned off the X-3's overreach, took a deep breath, and ordered the stone ball to open with his own will, as in the dark forest.

The ground shook, and Victor took a few steps back, watching as the core of the earth, which even the Golden Knight could not shake, broke free from the sturdy rock formations and floated into the air, the light blooming from its interior, forming lines along the surface of the sphere, and then splitting into thirty-six rocks, a misty rune crystal hanging in the center.

Sure enough, it's an alchemy tower!

With a "ding", a solid crystal fell from the cracked suspended rock into the semicircular pit, attracting Victor's attention. It is dark yellow and elongated in the shape of a diamond, with fine runes solidified inside, revealing a mysterious beauty.

This is the second Alchemy Empire artifact that Victor has seen, the first being the fragment of the Saron Demon Iron Rune Sword found by the Alchemy Militia in the Dark Forest, and this well-preserved crystal is obviously more valuable.

Victor didn't rush forward to pick it up, turned his head and asked, "What is this?"

The wild cow shook his head, made a puzzled expression, and said, "I don't know either. ”

"You, go pick it up, be careful, don't force it, step back 50 meters first, spread it out in your hand and show it. ”

Following Victor's instructions, a barberry militiaman jumped into the round pit, picked up citrine, jumped out, took dozens of steps back, spread his palms, and showed Victor this mysterious ancient artifact.

Victor watched carefully for a moment and saw that citrine was lying in the palm of the barberry militiaman's hand, and there was no movement. He frowned, and asked the Barberry militia to run another 500 meters back, trying to get as far away as possible from the alchemy tower rune crystal.

"So far...... It shouldn't make a difference, right?"

Victor muttered, his gaze refocused on the rune crystal. Its luster was dimmer than that of the Rune Crystals of the Dark Forest, but it was twice as large as the Rune Crystals of the No. 7 Alchemy Tower.

It could be a more advanced Alchemy Tower, and maybe it could help Alchemy Tower 7 unlock more features...... The No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda took 23 minutes for the first fusion, I wonder how long it will take to fuse this time?

Victor made up his mind that he would no longer drag the mud and water, and four elemental runes appeared in his left hand, yellow, red, blue, and green, which rotated around his index finger and condensed into the rune crystal of the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda. With a light finger, the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda Rune Crystal floated towards the newly born Rune Crystal, and the two silently collided and turned into one, and the floating stones fell at the same time, making a series of dull sounds. At this moment, the conscious connection between Victor and Alchemy Tower 7 still exists, but it can no longer be controlled as he pleases.

This situation was exactly the same as the first fusion, and Victor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

All that's left to do is to be patient.

"How's Warhammer Camp 4 doing?" asked Victor as he felt the connection to Alchemy Tower 7.

"Hammer obeyed your orders and began to evacuate the personnel of the camp. Due to the large number of supplies in Camp 4, the population size of more than 1,500 people, as well as the many women and children, and the limited capacity of the Warhammer smuggling caravans, it would take two months to evacuate them all to other camps. ”

Manniu paused and said, "My lord, I received a summons from the Alchemy Crow yesterday. Hammer asked me to tell you that the soldiers of Earl de Caeser approached Camp 4 and dropped a map to warn the camp personnel to beware of the ferocious gnoll fangs...... Spot its whereabouts and report it to the local outpost in time for a handsome reward. He also demanded that Camp 4 provide supplies and assistance to the mercenaries, rangers, and soldiers who hunted the Wind Fangs, and that there should be no fighting, otherwise they would be considered bandits. If mercenaries and rangers attack mountain people, the camp can send someone to appeal to the Dekaeser family for help. ”

"As I expected, the kingdom of Neville wants to rein in the hill camps in the south and ensure that the trade routes of the Rand Empire are unimpeded. Victor smiled and said, "Tell Hammer that no matter what method he uses, he must remove all the ordinary mountain people in Camp 4 within a month." The Randall's Arcane soldiers can be evacuated last in the rain and snow. ”

"Yes. ”

Victor looked at the alchemy militia standing in the distance, and then ordered: "You will later, arrange for the alchemy militia and 6 alchemy mastiffs here to escort that citrine directly back to the mountain fortress led by Randall, and you can't let anyone else know about the crystal." Remember, this is the number one priority!"

"As you wish, my lord. ”

As time passed, Victor's consciousness became more and more connected to Alchemy Tower 7, and after 32 minutes, he finally reached a normal level. He stepped over and reached out to point at the real-like rune crystal, which immediately split into four elemental runes, spinning and merging into his palm.

Victor's mind moved, and the four elemental runes resurfaced, condensing into the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda Rune Crystal. After trying several times in a row, Victor put away the rune crystal, couldn't hold back his excitement anymore, and laughed loudly, and the melodious laughter of the clear spirit drifted into the distance with the night wind.

He won the big gamble!

"Congratulations, sir!"

The brute bull took the initiative to pat the horse's ass, although his expression was not flattering enough, but it was better than sincerity. It's rare for him to have such a performance.

Victor gathered his excitement and joy, pointed to the stones on the ground and said, "Put these stones back together and put them in their place!"

The core of the earth had lost its sturdy and heavy properties, and the barberry militia worked together to quickly restore it to its original shape. Victor stroked the cracks on the surface of the sphere and asked with a smile, "Brute, you say, what will happen to the Neville people when they find that the core of the earth has cracked?"

The brute cow touched the back of his head, thought about it again and again, and said honestly: "I don't know." ”

Victor was full of joy and smiled as bright as the moonlight:

"yes, they don't know anything......"
