The fifth floor of the Star Forge Tower is a hexagonal spacious and bright room, still made of metal, and the area is only slightly smaller than the arena on the fourth floor.

The room was empty, only the footsteps of Lin Lichuan echoed non-stop, which became more and more prominent with a cold sense of emptiness.

After walking around the room and finding nothing, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but groan slightly.

"According to that artificial intelligence, there should be a place for guards on standby in this Star Refining Tower, where will it be?"

He looked around.

The room in front of him was obviously the fifth trial venue, and from the outside, the Star Refining Tower had a total of five floors, and most of the places where the guards were on standby were in this layer, hidden somewhere behind this room.

Lin Lichuan came to the metal wall of the other party at the entrance of the stairs, drew his sword and slashed at the wall, after a few swords, there were already several more cracks on the metal wall that were 20 centimeters deep, but there was still no entrance.

"Judging by the sound, this should not be empty behind it. Lin Lichuan will also be a little helpless, the room area is so large, you can't try it like this, after all, this wall is made of metal, and the hardness is comparable to that of high-strength alloy.

Suddenly, Lin Lichuan suddenly patted his forehead.

"I'm confused, I forgot that there was that. ”

He immediately cast his gaze to the lower right corner of his field of vision, staring as he walked around the room.

The trial reward of the Star Refining Tower, since the bottle of primary star energy reagent was issued instantly, it proves that there must be a certain amount of reagent stored in the tower, as long as you find the storage location of the star energy reagent, maybe you can find something.

It turned out that Lin Lichuan was right, and after more than two minutes, the distance prompt of the meteorite energy finally popped up in the lower right corner of the field of vision.

Seeing this, he was overjoyed, and immediately followed the prompts to constantly correct his bearing, and soon stopped in front of a metal wall.

"Is this it? ”

Lin Lichuan didn't spare his hand this time, and directly slammed a crescent moon on the wall, and in the sharp and piercing metal twisting and tearing sound, a huge gap appeared on the wall in an instant, revealing the deep darkness behind.

"It's done!"

Exhaling slightly, Lin Lichuan immediately strode into the gap, and when he looked closely, it was a dim small room.

The floor, walls, and ceiling are made up of metal squares the size of a washbasin, and the walls are hung with a number of never-before-seen precision instruments, which are extremely high-tech, and the wall facing the gap is also inlaid with a huge device, judging from the dense electronic screens, buttons and meters above, most of them are consoles and other equipment.

The room in front of him looked inexplicably familiar, Lin Lichuan thought about it for a while, and then remembered that the room he had seen on the second floor of the temple of the ruins of Black Flame Island was also arranged like this.

"It seems that this is the central control room of the Star Refining Tower. ”

Lin Lichuan muttered, his eyes turned to the three chairs in front of the console with their backs to him, and a touch of miserable white could be vaguely seen in the corners.

The situation in front of him was particularly déjà vu, and he cautiously walked to the front of the three chairs, and when he looked at it, an expression flashed on his face.

Sitting motionless on the chair were three skeletons with white horns, their bones shining white in the dim light, with an indescribable charm.

The skeleton of an extraterrestrial demon!

No, they should be called StarClan skeletons now.

He had seen one in the temple of the ruins of Black Flame Island, and the skeletal refining star source was still lying in his backpack.

"Duty officer......

After thinking about it, Lin Lichuan put the three skeletons into his backpack.

This is three star sources, but now that the curse is not around, he has no suitable means to refine the bones, so he can only put them away first, and then deal with them later.

After putting away the skeleton, he continued to search for the hidden starenergy reagent, and soon found a drawer-like groove at the bottom of the console, and opened it to see that there was a row of starlight reagents lying quietly inside, a total of eight bottles.

Seven of the vials were exactly the same as the primary star energy reagent he had obtained at the fourth layer, and the liquid contained in the other vial was thicker in color than the other reagents, and when it was still and motionless, it looked like a high-grade red crystal, which was extremely beautiful.

"Is this a higher-level starenergy reagent?" Lin Lichuan picked up the reagent and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that the surface of the reagent bottle was marked with the words intermediate-grade starenergy reagent.

It's also strange to say, it's obviously a different civilization, but the Star Clan, both in writing and language, is exactly the same as the mainland human race, and I don't know if there is some kind of relationship between the two a long time ago.

After thinking for a moment to no avail, Lin Lichuan shook his head to gather his thoughts, put away the star energy reagent, and was about to continue looking to see if there were any other hidden items, when his ears moved, and he heard extremely slight footsteps outside.

"Achuan?"

Before he could react, Lu Qiu's characteristic gentle voice rang out.

Lin Lichuan relaxed his tense body and responded in a loud voice: "It's me." ”

The words fell, the figure in front of him flashed, and Lu Qiu appeared in front of him in an instant.

Teleportation of the space system!

Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed slightly, and it seemed that Lu Qiu's mastery of the spatial ability was not single.

"Sure enough, I thought you should come to the fifth layer earlier than me, and those trials in the first four layers are a little unfriendly to a non-physical enhancement ability like me. Lu Qiu chuckled, and after saying this, she looked around, a flash of surprise flashed on her delicate face, "This is the central control room of the Star Refining Tower?"

"That's right. Lin Lichuan said.

"Then we're lucky!" Lu Qiu's eyes lit up, and he looked at the console with a blazing gaze, "There should be a control hub on it, and the contents inside may be the biggest gain of our trip to the ruins." ”

Lin Lichuan became interested and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"A kind of high-level concentrated energy called the star core, I have seen it in some extremely dense materials, but the energy driving core of the large-scale buildings established by the Star Clan is usually the star core, which contains a large amount of meteorite energy, and only this high-level energy core can support the Star Calamity Ruins and many star beasts and beasts to survive for thousands of years. Lu Qiu explained.

Lin Lichuan suddenly showed a strange look when he heard this: "The star core you are talking about can't be a dark gold, basketball-sized, stone-like cube-like object, right?"

"I haven't seen the core with my own eyes, but that's what it says. Lu Qiu replied in a daze, looked at Lin Lichuan in surprise, and then suddenly reacted, "There are also star cores in the temple of the Black Flame Island Ruins?"

"Yes, indeed. ”

Lin Lichuan said and took out the star core from his backpack, because the meteorite energy contained in it was sucked dry, the dark gold on the surface of the star core became extremely dim, as if it was covered with a layer of gray.

Lu Qiu's eyes lit up slightly, and he took the star core and looked at it curiously.

At this moment, her spirit of inquiry as a researcher and her curiosity about unknown and strange things were completely aroused, so she held the star core and observed for a while, during which she constantly took out various small instruments from the storage space for observation.

Lin Lichuan, who had never seen a girl like this, stood aside and watched with great interest, without making a sound to disturb.

After five or six minutes, Lu Qiu temporarily ended his observation, raised his head, and smiled apologetically at Lin Lichuan: "I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted." ”

"It doesn't matter. Lin Lichuan shook his head, "If you are interested in the star core, this can be given to you, anyway, this thing is useless in my hands." ”

Hearing this, Lu Qiu thought about it, and was not polite, and chuckled: "Thank you." ”

Happily putting away the star core, Lu Qiu turned his head to look at the console, a deep groan appeared in his eyes, and said slowly: "I am not familiar with the console of the Star Clan, I don't know the specific location of the control hub, if you use violent means to disassemble the entire console, it may cause the things inside the control hub to be damaged." ”

"I don't have to disassemble it entirely, I know the location. Lin Lichuan glanced at the prompt in the lower right corner of his vision, strode to the left side of the console, and with a thought, the blade in his hand instantly turned into countless cherry blossoms, and rushed to a metal square board about thirty centimeters away from the countertop, which was close to the wall of the console.

Under Lu Qiu's stunned gaze, a large number of dazzling sparks burst out from the cracks, and under the continuous splitting of countless cherry blossoms, the metal square plate finally snorted and fell off the wall, revealing the hollow dark grid inside.

Inside the dark grid is a ring, and a dark gold square the size of a basketball is placed squarely on the top of the ring, which is exactly the same as the star core that Lin Lichuan gave to Lu Qiu, but the color is brighter, and obviously the energy inside has not been exhausted.

Seeing this, Lin Lichuan was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, stepped forward and took the star core from the dark grid, and when his mind moved slightly, the palm that was in contact with the star core immediately felt a warm current flowing into his body.

However, in just 1 second, the value of the spar column on the personal interface jumped up five times, increasing by 5 spars.

"Judging from the speed at which the hedron increases, there is no doubt that the meteorite energy contained in this star core is far greater than that of the previous one. Looking at the scene of the increase in spars, Lin Lichuan's heart suddenly swelled with ecstasy.

Last time, the star core brought him 3,000 polycrystals, and now there is obviously more meteorite energy left in his hand, if he can absorb them all, the crystals brought to him will definitely far exceed the value of 3,000.

Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Lin Lichuan turned his head to look at Lu Qiu, thinking about what conditions to trade with the girl so that she could give up the star core to herself, but heard the girl whisper: "Then this star core will be given to Ah Chuan." ”

Lin Lichuan was stunned.

"This core is important to you. Lu Qiu looked at him with a smile.

Looking at her demeanor, she had obviously guessed that Lin Lichuan had some way to absorb the meteorite energy in the star core.

Lin Lichuan didn't hide it, nodded directly and admitted, and said with some hesitation: "But you ......"

"I can't use the energy in the core, so this thing won't be of much use to me. Lu Qiu had a smile on his face, "What's more, I'm not without gains." ”

After the words fell, she stepped forward, groped in the dark compartment for a while, and retracted her palm after a while, and there was already a small and delicate chip between her palms.

"This control chip is a real treasure for me. Lu Qiu looked at the chip, his eyes flashed with amazement and joy, "The control chip of this Star Refining Tower has stored a lot of precious information about the Star Clan, if we can interpret it, our understanding of the Star Clan will be greatly deepened, and it may even be possible to obtain part of the Star Clan's technology for making biochemical beasts!"

Lu Qiu's tone carried a surprise that could not be concealed, which was already a gaffe for her, who was usually extremely calm and calm, but Lin Lichuan could understand, not to mention anything else, the Star Clan's technology for making biochemical beasts was so precious and rare, even if it was only partial, it was a priceless treasure for a researcher.

What's more, if she can crack and master the technology of using meteorite stones to create biochemical beasts, it will be an undoubted huge wealth for her family, and it is no wonder that she will behave like this.

However, just as the meteorite energy in the star core was useless to Lu Qiu, the information in the control chip was also a waste to Lin Lichuan, even if it was given to him, it could not be used, and the two of them just took what they needed.

When Lu Qiu came back to his senses from the surprise, Lin Lichuan told her about the Star Clan's bones and star energy reagents.

According to the agreement, the two of them will get a harvest in the ruins, and they will be distributed according to the proportion of Lin Lichuan four and Lu Qiuliu, and he will naturally not hide this point.

Lu Qiu didn't care, he just nodded, showing his complete trust in Lin Lichuan.

Later, the two searched the control room again, and after making sure that there were no other hidden treasures, they decided to leave.

"Speaking of which, isn't the average combat power of the StarClan people very strong?"

On the way down the tower floor, Lin Lichuan suddenly said loudly.

Whether it is the many alien beasts and star beasts outside the Star Refining Tower, or the trials inside the tower, it is not something that people below the knight level can handle, and even if the biological energy level is only level 21 of the Morning Star Knight, the possibility of wanting to pass the trial is not high, at least the strength level of level 22 must be enough to be sure of clearing the level.

In other words, the vast majority of people who are able to participate in the trial will not have a lower bioenergy level than level 22.

If that's not a big deal, then add to that the age limit of not being able to enter this ruin over twenty years old, and it's scary to think about.

If this is the general norm of the Star Clan, doesn't that mean that all the adult warriors of the Star Clan have at least the strength of the Morning Star Knight?

"I hate to admit it, but based on the information I've received in the past, it's very likely that this is true, and it is likely that adult StarClan warriors generally possess knight-level combat power, and in their power system, they are only the lowest star. Lu Qiu replied with a solemn expression, and then showed a smile again, "But fortunately, the population of the Star Clan seems to be small, far inferior to our Terran, and their reproduction rate is extremely low, maybe this is the price of individual strength." ”

Lin Lichuan's expression was slightly relieved, too, if the Star Clan really had no weaknesses, they would have conquered the entire continent a thousand years ago.

"It's no wonder that the Star Clan created so many Star Beasts and Alien Beasts, it turned out to make up for the lack of manpower. ”

As they spoke, the two of them had returned to the first floor.

......

Time went back to half an hour ago, just when Lin Lichuan and Lu Qiu had just entered the Star Refining Tower, the location where the two of them had originally entered the ruins suddenly burst into ripples, and then three gray-robed figures appeared out of thin air.

The thin-robed man in the lead was holding a metal square with fine patterns painted on the surface and shining silver throughout, and as the three of them stood still, the light on the surface of the square gradually dissipated.

After looking around and finding that there was no danger around, the bodies of the two people behind the thin gray-robed man relaxed slightly, and one of them couldn't help but ask, "Lord Selte, is it worth wasting a precious high-level access right in order to pursue Lin Lichuan?"

The thin gray-robed man Celt didn't look back, and said lightly: "The Knight of the Bright Moon who is less than twenty years old, if this kind of enemy is allowed to grow up, he will definitely become a big trouble for the sect in the future, and then it will not only be you, I'm afraid even I am not his opponent." ”

The questioner was silent for a while, but he had to admit that what Celter said was correct, and compared to the terrible enemies that might appear in the future, a high-level access privilege, although precious, was not an unbearable price.

"What's more, this time the advanced access may not be wasted. Celt's tone changed suddenly, and he looked into the distance.

The two people behind him followed his gaze, and when they saw the towering steel tower in the distance, they couldn't help but exclaim: "Star Refining Tower!"

"This is the relic of the trial!" said the two of them, with ecstasy on their faces.

The person who asked the question before said with surprise on his face: "No wonder that noble girl of the Lu family will put aside the family's combat power and go deep into the Circle of Sighs with Lin Lichuan, it turns out that their target is actually a trial relic, looking at the situation here, there is at least one or two percent of the star core in that star refining tower!"

"If we can get the star core, we will have a great achievement this time!" the other person also showed an uncontrollable joy, and the hideous color in his eyes flashed, "Those two little ones are lucky, but it's a pity that they made a wedding dress for us." ”

Ignoring the ecstasy of the two gray-robed men, Celt slowly levitated and flew towards the forest.

"Let's go, our target should be in that Star Refining Tower, in addition, there are many Star Beasts in the Trial Ruins that are comparable to the Radiant Moon Knights, these monsters don't care who we are, be careful not to provoke them, lest they cause trouble. ”

"Yes, sir!" the two gray-robed men replied in unison, flying into the forest after Celt.

The three of them flew extremely fast, swift and swift through the trees, and amazingly, the strange beasts and star beasts they encountered along the way all ignored them, allowing the three of them to pass in front of them, but there was no sign of attack.

The road was unimpeded, and half an hour later, the three of Celt had arrived at the Star Refining Tower.

At this moment, a layer of light suddenly flashed through the gate of the Star Refining Tower.

"They came out. ”

Celt's eyes were deep, and his body instantly floated silently like a ghost.
