Chapter 168, the Lord of Nightmares
After Ning Yue and Bai Luoluo regained their sight, they found that the place where they were was also a first-floor cabin, at the end of a certain corridor.
The corridor is about two feet wide, but there is no end in sight. The walls are inlaid with a row of transparent whole crystals, through which you can see a large dark river flowing slowly with fine sand.
"This seems to be below the surface of the water, and it should be the bottom of our ship. ”
Ning Yue looked at the surrounding environment and made a simple analysis, only to find that there was only one road in front of him, which was convenient for Bai Luoluo to walk down the corridor to the depths.
It only took a few breaths for Ning Yue and the two to walk to the end of the corridor, and in front of them, there was a wooden door that had already been opened.
Among the wooden doors, you can see that the ground is paved with some dark stone slabs without patterns, which are a little rough but very solid.
Ning Yue and Bai Luoluo glanced at each other, one after the other, and walked into the newly appeared cabin.
The moment Ning Yue stepped into the cabin, he suddenly sensed a lightness on his body, and found that the pressure he felt after entering this space disappeared all at once.
Ning Yue looked around depressedly and found that there were dozens of thick red crystal pillars in the cabin, connecting the ground and the ceiling of the cabin, and there was a mist-like soul power surging in each crystal pillar.
The arrangement of the red spar pillars was in a hollow shape, and Ning Yue and Bai Luoluo shuttled through the spar pillars like a fantasy, and found that there were nine black cages in the center of the crystal pillars, each of which was placed extremely neatly on the ground.
It's just that all the cages are empty, and I don't know what I've kept before.
Ning Yue and Bai Luoluo looked these iron cages up and down, and immediately found them in the nearest iron cage.
"Is it a piece of soul jade?"
Ning Yue walked to the corner of the iron cage in front of him with some uncertainty, and saw a stone similar to soul jade on the ground, saying that it was similar, because Ning Yue couldn't sense any soul power reaction from it.
Ning Yue walked over and picked up the stones from the ground, but when he retracted his arms, his sleeves rubbed against the black railing of the iron cage, and he immediately retracted his arms as if he had been electrocuted, dropped the stones that looked like soul jade, and looked at the iron cage in front of him in surprise.
Just now, he just touched the iron cage with his sleeve, and found that the soul power in his body was enough to be taken away.
"Be careful, this railing will absorb soul power,"
Ning Yue immediately reminded Bai Luoluo, a cold sweat broke out in the vest, he had just been drained of so much soul power just by touching his sleeves, and now when he sensed it carefully, he found that he was just standing near the cage, and the soul power in his body was also affected by the iron cage, and it began to slowly decrease.
Ning Yue first asked Bai Luoluo to retreat a distance, and then carefully put his arm through the iron cage, picked up the soul jade on the ground, and then retreated to Bai Luoluo's side.
The two of them looked at the soul jade in Ning Yue's hand carefully, and found that it was indeed the soul jade, but this soul jade not only disappeared without a trace of the divine power sealed on the outside, but also disappeared the soul of the demon beast sealed inside, and there was no trace of soul power reaction at all.
What is strange is that there is not a trace of damage on this piece of soul jade, in this case, whether it is the divine power of sealing the soul jade or the soul of the demon beast, it should be extremely stable.
Ning Yue subconsciously walked past several iron cages, and found seven identical soul jades, all of which did not have any divine power and soul power.
It wasn't until he walked to the last iron cage that Ning Yue found that the soul jade of the iron cage still had a trace of divine power reaction, but this divine power was already extremely weak, as if it would disappear at any time.
Ning Yue squatted down and was about to pick up the soul jade, but he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and quickly used his soul power to remove the debris on the ground of the last cage, only to see a crystal the size of a human head half-embedded in the ground.
"This is the Nexus Crystal ......"
Ning Yue immediately recognized the crystal on the ground, which was almost the same as the one he had seen on the Great Bright Emperor ship, except for the size, there was no difference.
Suddenly, a voice sounded directly in the minds of Ning Yue and Bai Luoluo.
"Finally...... See humanity again. ”
Ning Yue and the others were taken aback, and immediately made a defensive posture, but the two looked around and did not find the source of this hoarse voice.
"Don't look for it, I'm the central crystal you saw, you have a divine power reaction in your body, but unfortunately I can't see whose inheritance you got now. ”
Ning Yue immediately looked at the central crystal that was half-hidden on the ground in front of him, and when he saw a light curtain flickering on it, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "You said that you are the central crystal, but doesn't the central crystal need to be manipulated by human......s?"
The central crystal directly interrupted Ning Yue's words, and his voice was like its broken appearance, and he said in a deep voice: "Young man, I think we should not talk some unnecessary nonsense. I'm running out of time, and teleporting you here has almost exhausted the last of my energy. ”
"You teleported us here, so how are we going to get out of here?" Ning Yue asked subconsciously.
The voice of the central crystal sounded faintly: "I am the one who teleported you to me, and I will naturally teleport you back to the upper level of the cabin, but if you ask how to leave this ship, you must kill that monster!"
"You mean that black monster?" Ning Yue said to the central crystal.
"That's right! The nine of us brothers were favored by the master and took turns to control the treasure ship, but I didn't expect the master to come to this space, be trapped for a thousand years, and fall here, and then the monster appeared, forcibly occupied the hull, trapped us all in this cage, and lost control of the treasure ship.
For thousands of years, our brothers' soul power has been exhausted one by one, I am the last one, and I am about to be scattered, and I didn't expect to meet you at this last time, so I used my last strength to teleport you here. ”
Listening to the central crystal's answer, Ning Yue couldn't help frowning slightly, he didn't like this feeling of not being in control, especially when he suddenly found such a central crystal with his own thinking ability, which really had a big impact on him.
If when he saw Feng Cicada controlling the Pivot Crystal of the Great Bright Emperor Ship, it was like looking at an alien computer in a fantasy world, then the Pivot Crystal he encountered now was even more magical, it was simply an autonomous and intelligent computer!
Ning Yue finally forced himself to calm down, and asked the Central Crystal, "What are you teleporting us here for?"
The Nexus Crystal quickly replied, "I want you to help me kill the monsters at the bottom of the ship so that I can be freed and you can complete the test of the Lord of Nightmares." ”
