Act 1: Broken Heart Chapter 19: Blood Crystal
On the other side, Icarus quietly looked at the direction where Nuan Xin disappeared. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Icarus, I don't understand. These should be the responsibilities of the city defense station. There should be no need for us to interfere, right?" asked another middle-aged man in white robes behind Icarus. Looking at his clothes, He should also be a Silver Guardian.
"Of course these are not our business!" Icarus smiled bitterly: "It's just that there are some things that can't be just looked at on the surface. The girl just now was originally a product of the alliance over the frost node. She followed the frost the day before yesterday. The survivors of the Cold Node came to the Frostfall Node together..." Looking at the middle-aged man who was still a little confused, Icarus continued: "She is free now."
"So, she was bought by a big family?" The middle-aged man suddenly realized that if it was a big family, then it would be normal for her to intervene.
Icarus shook his head: "I understand what you are thinking. Unfortunately, you are wrong. The person who bought her is an explorer."
"Can today's explorers be so rich?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised.
"That is not a simple explorer. He spent 20,000 exploration points at one time to buy two beauties. The most important thing is that his card is Bauhinia level." Icarus said with a solemn expression (Explorer of Frostfall Node) Level classification: Bai Sa, Green Ming, Lan Yao, Bauhinia. Corresponding to the four levels of crystal cards: white, green, blue and purple respectively).
"Hiss~~~~~~~~" The middle-aged man took a breath of cold air. What the Bauhinia level represents is very clear to them at this level.
"The boss told me that if I meet this explorer, I will try my best to be friends with him. Even if I can't be friends with him, I won't have any conflicts with him. And in this case, he will accept my favor." Icarus The corner of his mouth curled up, and he said proudly.
“Could the boss be………………?”
"Of course, it's not like you don't know the boss's temper. With such a good player, he can join the Guardians. In time, he has a high chance of becoming a Golden Guardian."
"As expected of the boss, hehe"
"Let's go, it's time to go back." During the conversation, the two figures disappeared at the end of the street.
………………
"Um...thank you for saving me. Sister, can you tell me your name?" On the other side of the street, just as Nuan Xin was slowly walking towards home despite the pain, a waxy voice spoke to her. There was a sound behind me.
When Nuan Xin heard the sound, she turned around and found that it was the girl who was caught before. Nuan Xin smiled at her and showed her kindness: "My name is Nuan Xin. It's great that you are okay."
While speaking, she saw that the girl's clothes were in tatters, with a lot of skin exposed. Nuan Xin tilted her head and thought for a moment, then took off the white apron she was wearing and helped the girl put it on. Although it could not be completely covered, it was It's much better than before.
The girl was a little reserved and dull, and she didn't realize it until Nuan Xin helped her put on the apron. Seeing the dust and large patches of red on her snow-white clothes, the girl couldn't help sobbing.
The tragedy of frost left her with no relatives in this world, and the nightmare of fear haunted her, but whenever she wanted to choose death, the words in her mother's final letter would appear in her mind: "You are The continuation of my father’s and mother’s lives, promise me to live strong.”
This was also the reason why she didn't want to commit suicide when she was about to be humiliated. She wanted to live. She was the continuation of her parents' lives. Even if she still had breath, she would live. As for the person who made her suffer all the humiliation, she wanted to live. I believe that one day, she can make these guys pay the price.
If her own experience was evil, then the sister named Nuan Xin in front of her made her feel the warmth of her heart again after experiencing fear and despair.
"My name is Gleiva
, Sister, is your injury okay?" After seeing the large area of red on the apron, Greva asked with some worry. If a normal human had lost so much blood, he would have been in a coma long ago. Now it seems that Nuan Xin's face is also the same. He was very pale, and there was a trace of dried blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Hearing Greva's words, Nuan Xin shook her head: "It doesn't matter to me, but to you, what are you going to do? Continue to live the life of a wanderer?"
Greva lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "Comfort is a breeding ground for laziness. Frost and cold destroy it. I can only survive by relying on the protection of my parents. I promised my parents that I must live. So, I think Take your own destiny into your own hands." As the words fell, Greva's eyes became firm.
"So, you already have a plan?" Nuan Xin looked at the girl in front of her. At this moment, she seemed to see her own shadow.
"Well, I plan to become an explorer. Only by constantly tempering myself on the edge of life and death again and again will I be able to cope with danger when it comes. I will blindly be comfortable and escape. When danger comes, I can only wait for death in despair. "
"..." Although Nuan Xin admires Gleiwa's courage, it is very realistic that Gleiwa is just an ordinary person, a very weak ordinary person, let alone a beast of heaven or earth, even if he is injured She can't deal with a being as close to the first-order human-animal level as herself.
She also knew some about the rules of explorers. At least what kind of jump coins are needed to go to the wilderness to return quickly, and that coin should consume exploration value. Thinking of this, Nuan Xin asked: "Do you have any ideas? Have you experienced the situations you have to face after becoming an explorer?"
"No matter what time it is, even if it is the end of the world, there will always be luck in the hearts of human beings, but people have not yet seen clearly that in this world where humans are no longer the leader of all things, apart from survival, the only thing left is to work harder. Have you survived? Since there is nothing left that cannot be given up except life! So what else is there to be afraid of? Even in a brand new world, we still have to work hard to survive, and explorers are only the first to wake up from their dreams. We are just human beings. If we do not make progress, we will eventually be eliminated by this world."
"..." Nuan Xin was silent. She had always believed that the shelter node was the safest place. When she was in the Alliance of Explorers, in addition to her desire for freedom, she still had some hope in her heart that she could be protected. If someone really likes her, she can accept it even if she doesn't like him very much.
The frost node was broken, which made her truly realize the cruelty of this world, and at the same time, it also broke the last trace of luck in her heart. And Greva's words made her realize that only her own strength is the most powerful thing. Be truly powerful, otherwise, even your own life can only be controlled by others.
"I support your decision!" Nuan Xin gave Grewa an encouraging smile, and then as if she had made up her mind, she took Grewa's hand and walked towards the Explorers Alliance on the other side of the street.
………………
It was close to evening when Resa returned to the Frostfall Node. He did not go home immediately, but went to the Explorer Alliance immediately. He wanted to test the identity of the more than 20 bloody crystal fragments in his hand. What, it’s better to find out the details of this unknown thing.
The Explorers Alliance in the evening is still lively, probably because the nodes are different and the order of the controllers is also different, but the Explorers Alliance at the Frostfall node is not as chaotic as Shuanghan.
The most obvious thing is that no idlers are allowed to stay in the explorer reception hall, and the guardians responsible for security are even equipped with exoskeleton powered armor.
This exoskeleton armor uses a new type of nano energy conversion device, which improves the load-bearing and volume problems of the conversion device on the original basis. The exoskeleton made of high-fiber composite materials not only provides good defense capabilities, but also provides The extremely excellent ductility makes the wearer's movements more flexible, and the built-in holographic personal combat terminal can analyze the advantageous combat conditions as quickly as possible.
Resa looked at the guardians in the hall with some envy. Such exoskeleton armor was undoubtedly the first choice for exploring the wilderness, but its high price was not something he could accept.
When I drove to the counter, opposite me was a sunny and handsome brown-haired man with a warm smile on his handsome face. He was wearing a gray-black vest over a white shirt. His manner was elegant, seemingly slow but not the slightest bit. Not sloppy, her scallion-long fingers are crystal clear and white, and when they dance, they look like elves dancing.
Even a man will be amazed at the first sight of such a man. Yes, he is amazing. When the man smiles, it seems that the whole world exists with him as the center.
"Hello, Mr. Explorer, I'm glad to serve you!" The man's feminine voice sounded in Resa's ears, causing Resa to lose judgment on the gender of the person in front of her.
Resa retracted his mind and clicked a few times on the personal terminal operator on his wrist. A small grid popped up on it. Resa took out a red crystal and placed it on the tray on the counter: "I want detailed information on this thing."
"Okay! But we will not be responsible for compensation for any losses caused by the testing." The man's smile was like a spring breeze, which made people unable to refuse.
After seeing Resa nodding in agreement, the man put the red crystal into a small culture tank on the counter. After clicking a few times on the platform, the red crystal in the culture tank slowly floated and began to rotate continuously, with faint waves. The red light flickered and stopped after almost a minute.
"Dear Explorer, the information you need has been sent to your personal terminal, please check it." The man bowed slightly, looking humble and polite.
Resa nodded and clicked twice on the counter. A disk floated on the ground and rose to a height of more than half a meter. Resa sat on it and began to check the information on the personal terminal:
Blood energy crystal fragment: No.: 000109
Material: crystal. Category: special energy crystal. Energy attribute: life energy (can supplement any type of superpower)
The value of a complete blood energy crystal starts at 21,500 exploration points. This fragment loses a lot of energy due to its damage, so the value is approximately: 239 exploration points.
Blood energy crystal is a special type of energy energy stone. It is a blood-red transparent crystal that exudes a rose-red light. It has a low hardness. You will clearly feel the life energy after touching it. The formation conditions are very harsh. It is currently known to form
There are two conditions:
Condition 1: In a burial place with at least tens of thousands of people, the remaining life energy in the body after death will accumulate and form blood energy crystals after years of precipitation, which requires at least a hundred years of precipitation.
When Resa saw Condition 2, he was shocked. Big beads of sweat fell from his cheeks. The first thing displayed on the document was not text, but a slightly blurred image.
In the video, two explorers are running on the street. The guy in front is thinking about throwing fireballs from behind while running, but the explorer behind is constantly throwing various test tubes, grenades and the like while running.
Behind them, a huge white shadow kept dancing and circling, approaching the two of them rapidly. The fireballs and grenade explosions, and the green mist rising after the test tube broke had no effect on the white shadow. After a while, the white shadow
I caught up with the two of them.
The white shadow suddenly turned into two and penetrated into the heads of the two people. Their bodies suddenly fell to the ground and kept rolling on the ground. During the rolling, the blood vessels on their heads were bulging, but their bodies were visible to the naked eye.
They shriveled up at a rapid speed, but their heads looked two points larger, which looked a bit funny.
However, the next scene was very horrifying. The heads of the two men suddenly exploded, and a white mist emerged from their broken bodies and merged into one in the sky. Reza's pupils shrank, and the white shadow's palm
Chapter completed!
