Chapter 55 Crystallization Appears
Qin Zhiyu felt drowsy and his body was still falling.
It seemed as if an illusion was appearing before his dazed eyes. In the pool of blood in front of him, gray objects were floating in a regular pattern.
Is this the size and shape of Qin Lan and the others?
Qin Zhiyu's whole body trembled, and he gathered his energy and swam towards the object.
While struggling, he managed to swim half-awake and half-unable. Although the dog-paddling posture was rather ugly, he was able to move.
"Qin Lan! It must be you." She muttered silently in her heart.
What's this?
When he got closer, he found that these gray objects were not the cats he had been thinking about, but stone statues one after another, which were similar in size to cats.
Qin Zhiyu tried to get closer to the statue, but there was a layer of flowing blood film visible to the naked eye around the statue, which looked ominous!
You can't just force your way through, you have to think about how to get through.
She took out wooden boards from the storage device, and these boards disappeared as soon as they touched the blood film!
At the same time, the blood film on the wooden board corroded and slowly solidified for a moment.
it works!
Qin Zhiyu held on for a breath and used raw materials to offset the energy of the blood membrane. It took him three square pieces of wood and four square pieces of iron to dissolve a hole that Qin Zhiyu could crawl into.
Qin Zhiyu quickly sped into the cave entrance. Due to her poor swimming skills, her elbows and other skin inevitably touched some blood film, and several wounds appeared on her body in an instant.
In the gray blood water, these statues seemed to have the ability to float, forming a space of their own around them. They were evenly arranged around her and showed no sign of sinking.
Qin Zhiyu didn't know what these sculptures were, but seeing that there was no blood in the separated spaces, he guessed that there must be air.
He plunged in with his last breath.
"call!"
There is indeed air here!
Qin Zhiyu was overjoyed. He took big gulps of oxygen and the feeling of suffocation disappeared. The oxygen in the small space seemed endless and he did not feel uncomfortable while breathing.
These sculptures are a thing of beauty!
Qin Zhiyu's eyes lit up. Could this sculpture actually generate its own oxygen? If such a miraculous statue were placed in the shelter, wouldn't there be any fear of oxygen deprivation?
If they find Qin Lan, they won’t have to worry about lack of oxygen, but where are they?
At this time, Qin Zhiyu couldn't help but feel depressed.
Having to continue downstream, she conveniently put away the central statue in front of her that was surrounded by circles of small sculptures.
Being surrounded in the middle is definitely more important, so collect this first.
After the special statue in front of him was taken away, the small statues originally surrounding the central statue turned into halos and dissipated.
After the statue left its original position, the relic began to become unstable, and the blood pool that had been lying calmly in the crack began to boil for no reason!
The blood was like boiling water, gurgling and producing red bubbles one after another.
But Qin Zhiyu, who was underwater, didn't know all this, and only scared Bai Qianyu outside.
"Damn it, is the water boiling, Qin Zhiyu..." When Bai Qianyu saw Qin Zhiyu and the cat who had not come out of the blood pool for a long time, he realized that the situation might not be good.
He was still struggling to resist the attacks of the osmanthus flowers and iris vines, and gradually felt despair about the strange ruins. Wasn't the previous one quite normal? Why was this one so perverted?
Outside the ruins where the two people are.
[…Natural disaster system is being upgraded]
[The direction of this natural disaster upgrade - high temperature]
[Expected upgrade countdown, i.e. high temperature start time 12 hours]
[This natural disaster lasted for 8 days (including the early opening time)]
[Through this natural disaster, the high temperature disaster compensation rewards you can get will be doubled. The specific reward value is determined by your performance points during the natural disaster.]
[This upgraded natural disaster is a special one, please actively explore ways to survive]
…
Cannes.
【Provincial Channel】
Night Demon Child Shelter: I read that right! The last two days of breathing time have turned into a 12-hour countdown? The countdown ends and the high temperature disaster begins early?! Are they kidding us?
Collapse: How could the natural disaster escalate for no apparent reason? Could someone please tell me?
Huanhua Shelter: If I am not mistaken, the natural disasters should be activated in sequence according to different time intervals. This sudden upgrade of the system without any signs must have triggered some kind of upgrade conditions!
Qingcheng Shelter: So what? What are the conditions? Did someone unlock some hidden map or trigger some boss?
Night Demon Child Shelter: Let me tell you, what good is solving the case? Think about how to survive the heat! I happen to have two extra ice machine blueprints. The highest bidder needs to privately message me. [Ice Machine Blueprint] jpg.
Qingcheng Shelter: Bah! A profiteer, you're clearly raising the price. If you're brave enough, try posting a deal and grab it with your quick hands!
Love to watch the beauty shelter: profiteer! An ice breaker blueprint, 25 iron and not selling, why not go out and rob?
As soon as this was said, everyone downstairs echoed it. They thought their bid was reasonable, but when they saw that there were higher offers and they failed to make a successful deal, they felt mentally balanced in an instant, thinking that they could not afford it.
Retirement Group Shelter: Young people should not get excited. Scarcity makes things valuable. It is not difficult to buy one, right?
【Ice maker drawing】jpg.
A man in his early fifties, full of energy, displayed the newly traded drawings on the provincial channel. Ahem, he may be old but his heart is young.
The elderly also pursue face. When they see that others cannot afford something, they buy it without any hesitation. Wow, it feels good!
…
【Normal Channel】
"Help! Can someone save me? There's no sun for several days during the dark days, and when it gets hot, does it have to be sunny every day? How can I survive?"
"There's a wild wolf squatting outside my door for days. Is there any kind-hearted person who can come and kill the wolf? The things are yours!"
"Why am I alone in the suburbs? I really want to move to a shelter. I can't live alone! I'm desperate."
"I haven't found my family yet. I'm so worried about them. Why am I rushing to take this opportunity to travel?"
"You're still complaining about the lack of people in the wild? I want to trade places with you?! I'm in the community, and there are too many people. The shelter is so crowded, and the surrounding resources have been divided up. I can't even tear up the grass!"
"Me too! They're fighting over even a mouse. If that guy from the wild wants to live here, I'll trade with him!"
"Second the above proposal +1"
"I curse this damned natural disaster! When will this hell end?"
"Really? If it weren't for this natural disaster, life would have been so comfortable. Now we're living in fear from day to day, haha!"
…
There are always many people who have been defeated by natural disasters and lost their courage, complaining day after day and doing nothing, and in the end they either rise up or continue to complain until they are destroyed.
At this time, Qin Zhiyu was still swimming downstream.
The further downstream you go, the darker the color of the surrounding blood becomes, and Zhang's eyes are all blood red.
The high pressure of the water and the sticky blood made Qin Zhiyu spend a lot of effort every time his arm slid.
Since the arms are sliding in a viscous pool full of resistance, the body will not sink at all even if it moves slowly.
Although there is oxygen temporarily, the gas space is very small and cannot prevent blood from seeping in.
The burning sensation of the increasingly thick blood no longer allowed Qin Zhiyu to continue swimming with his eyes open.
She held the sculpture in one hand and walked forward with her eyes closed.
In such an environment, Qin Zhiyu was worried about whether Qin Lan and the others could survive. She forgot the pain in her body, and at this moment, her worry was greater than anything else.
The increasingly viscous blood seeped into the skin, and the pain became more intense.
At this moment, if one could see the appearance, one would see that the skin was torn and the whole person seemed to be turned inside out, but not completely turned over and covered in blood.
Oh my god!
Bai Qianyu's pupils dizzied as he watched bubbles as big as human heads emerge from the blood pool.
The originally strong and indestructible osmanthus tree was broken in half and fell into the pond. The splashing blood fell on his body, causing him burning pain.
All the irises withered in an instant, melting into a pool of blood on the spot, flowing into the cracks along the terrain.
At this time, Bai Qianyu no longer believed that Qin Zhiyu could survive.
Bai Qianyu, who was staying up there, didn't think he would be safe just by waiting here!
But sitting and waiting for death is not his style, he must find a way out!
The flower fields and osmanthus trees that were originally as beautiful as a fairyland in front of me suddenly turned into an overwhelming blood color.
Nature has an absolutely dominant power that paints the surrounding environment and turns the fairyland into hell.
The feeling that he was the only one left in hell at this moment made despair take root in his heart.
Where is the way out?
Bai Qianyu crossed several pools of blood and bypassed the osmanthus tree, but still did not see the way out.
The protective suit was completely scrapped, and the lingering Iris was covered in wounds and blood...
Desperate and unwilling, Bai Qianyu thought quickly in his mind. There was no way out... then what was left was...
Pool of blood!
Bai Qianyu broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this. The blood splashing on his body was unbearable pain. Would he be melted if he jumped in?
"boom!"
The ground collapsed! Cracks upon cracks!
"Let's go!" Bai Qianyu gritted his teeth and jumped into the pool of blood with a determined heart. Outside, he was still under a closed dome. He would die anyway, so he might as well give it a try.
…
Qin Zhiyu was holding onto the stagnant blood. No! It should be blood mud now!
She couldn't open her eyes, and she held the sculpture and tried to breathe, but she still couldn't find Qin Lan and the others. However, her mind became clearer.
Qin Zhiyu went down the pond and saw many tree roots growing in the water, entwined and intertwined along the way.
Is it an osmanthus tree? Or an iris? What kind of life is this? Can it survive in corrosive blood?
Investigate! She still has one more chance to investigate!
Qin Zhiyu didn't care whether it could continue to be used in the ruins.
【Confirm to use】
【Successful use】
Success!
This means that Qin Zhiyu can use the reconnaissance system to see the biological energy information in the ruins, find the weaknesses of the creatures, and maybe even find out how to get out!
[Blood Osmanthus]: It grows in places with abundant life and fertile soil. It is a mutation of the Osmanthus tree. Its growth direction is to have attack means and extremely long lifespan.
By condensing special energy crystals and obtaining energy, you can completely kill the osmanthus tree. If the osmanthus tree is killed, its energy crystals will disappear within 24 hours.
The energy crystal is located in the root ball at the bottom of the root system.
We need to continue to go deeper.
With oxygen, it is not difficult to walk down along the tree roots with eyes closed. You may even be able to detect Qin Lan and the others in this direction. They must still be alive!
She firmly believes it!
Continuous reconnaissance within the range gave Qin Zhiyu a second pair of more sensitive eyes. In her mind, she constructed the huge internal environment of this blood pool.
The crack is a small opening, but the blood pools underground are connected together, so there is still a vast sea of blood outside the range that cannot be explored.
Qin Zhiyu has not yet been able to see the root that the system mentioned, so he has to continue.
The blood behind was very sticky. She held the sculpture in one hand and touched the roots of the branches with the fingertips of the other hand, her skin peeling back.
I don’t know if it was because the pain was too much, but a faint warm current surged throughout my body.
My nerves felt like they were soaking in a hot spring, and the feeling became more pronounced the deeper I went. Could it be that the blood and water underground had such a warming effect?
A feeling of doubt suddenly arose in my heart.
If the blood pool has such special functions, it is not difficult to understand how an ordinary osmanthus tree can grow into the overlord of the ruins.
It also possesses cross-species changes such as attacks beyond its capabilities.
Five meters, ten meters, 20 meters...
Qin Zhiyu went down step by step.
[Special energy crystals*2 detected, energy dissipating...]
Found it! It's an energy crystal!
Qin Zhiyu's heart was beating fast. It was another special energy crystal. No matter how he analyzed it, this osmanthus tree was much stronger than Wen Zhiyin!
The crystal energy is dissipating, and they say the main trunk of the blood laurel tree is dead.
How did he die? Could it be Bai Qianyu who is still outside? No, he doesn't have this ability. Why is that?
This time, the blood pool that was originally underground suddenly gushed out, causing the surface to crack and the irises to grow wildly. No one knew the reason, but it was definitely related to the death of the blood laurel tree!
Qin Zhiyu quickened his movements, his whole body bathed in the warm energy of the blood pool, and his injured skin and internal organs were growing back.
She felt itchy and uncomfortable as the skin and flesh grew.
However, the sticky blood flowed gently on the body, slightly reducing the pain and itching.
Is this the power of crystallization?
The blood pool is so rich in energy, and the water in the blood pool can also heal injuries. If Qin Lan and the others were in it, they must still be alive!
Qin Zhiyu closed his eyes and moved towards the crystal.
One could feel the crystals wrapped in the giant tree roots still emitting continuous energy that was spreading into the blood pool.
Previously, most of the energy was transferred along the roots to the trunk of the blood osmanthus tree, causing it to grow and mutate to the point where even five adults together could not completely surround it.
The blood osmanthus flower can bloom forever, attack people, suck their blood and then return it to the blood pool.
Qin Zhiyu took out a scimitar and chopped at the tree roots. There were many large and small tree roots around. The big ones were two meters in radius, and the small ones were twenty centimeters in size.
The tree roots were intertwined horizontally and vertically. Relying on her body, which had lost sensitivity due to the resistance of the blood pool, she barely managed to get into the gaps between the roots, passed through several root knots, and found a good position to cut down the largest root knot.
One can clearly feel the crystal energy fluctuations inside the two largest tree roots.
The roots of the tree were only slightly damaged by the cut of the machete, and the skin was very hard.
Logically speaking, an axe should be easier to chop down tree roots, but her axe level is not high enough, so she can only use a machete instead.
It took a lot of effort to dig a hole in the hard bark of the tree root.
The roots of this tree are very thick. From the depth of the hole dug, it can be seen that the roots are at least ten centimeters thick.
Happy National Day!
