Mou Xuan blinked hard, but dust seemed to be getting into his eyes for free, making him feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to curse.
He struggled to sit up, but his bones felt like they were falling apart and he grimaced in pain at the slightest movement.
Wait, this feeling...
He raised his left hand with difficulty, and the scene that came into his eyes instantly sobered him up - his left hand, starting from the wrist, had completely turned into crystal clear!
In the dim light, it flickered with strange light, like a finely crafted work of art, or like the limbs of some terrifying creature.
"What the hell!" Mou Xuan couldn't help but swear. What the hell is this?
He tried to clench his fists, and his crystallized fingers made a "cracking" sound. They were extremely hard, but he could not feel any temperature.
"Xuan...Brother Xuan..."
Hearing Chen Yao's crying voice, he noticed that Chen Yao was hugging him with red and swollen eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"You...you have been in a coma for three days..."
Three days?
Damn it!
Mou Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Three days was enough time for a lot of things to happen.
He quickly asked: "What happened? How did I become like this?"
Before Chen Yao could answer, a shrill alarm suddenly rang throughout the entire underground space, and red warning lights flashed wildly, as if foreshadowing some ominous sign.
"Warning! Warning! The underground metal building is moving! Warning! The underground metal building is moving!"
It’s Engineer Xiao’s voice!
Mou Xuan frowned. Damn it, could it be that the previous energy tide triggered some chain reaction?
“Boom…”
The earth began to tremble, as if some huge monster was awakening underground.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and then a group of fully armed people broke into the laboratory.
The leader was the landowner Ren, who had a gun in his hand and a ferocious look on his face.
"Expert Hao! Hand over the crystal core!" The landowner pointed a gun at Expert Hao's head and said viciously, "Don't force me to do it!"
Expert Hao was trembling with fear. He was just a researcher, how could he have seen such a scene before?
"Boss Ren, you...you calm down. The crystal core is still under research..."
"Study your mother!" The landowner Ren roared and kicked Expert Hao over. "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you! Search!"
Several militants immediately rushed to the experimental table and began to search frantically.
"Crystal core! Where is the crystal core?"
"Found it! Here it is!"
A Lexing explorer excitedly picked up a container filled with liquid, which contained a crystal core emitting a faint glow.
"Haha! We found the crystal core! Boss Ren, we're rich!"
However, before Explorer Le had time to be happy, he accidentally tripped over a stone, lost his balance, and the container in his hand fell out of his hand.
“Bang!”
The container fell to the ground, the coolant spilled all over the floor, and the crystal core was exposed to the air.
At that moment, the entire laboratory seemed to have pressed the pause button. Everyone held their breath and looked at the crystal core in unison.
The crystal core suddenly began to vibrate violently, and the light it emitted became increasingly intense, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
"Oh no! It's going to explode!"
I don't know who shouted, but everyone was scared out of their wits and ran away in all directions.
Seeing this, Mou Xuan knew that something was wrong. He ignored the pain in his body and immediately activated his time ability, trying to put the crystal core into space.
However, the moment he touched the crystal core, a powerful repulsive force bounced him away. The crystal core seemed to have its own consciousness and resisted his power.
At the critical moment, he still successfully took in the crystal core.
"ah!"
At this moment, a cold light flashed, and the owner of the land rushed in front of him without knowing when, and the dagger in his hand slashed fiercely at his crystallized arm.
"puff!"
The dagger cut through the crystallized skin, leaving a shallow scar.
Mou Xuan groaned. He didn't expect that the land owner would be so insidious and take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
A drop of black blood dripped from the wound and fell to the ground.
In an instant, the metal on the ground seemed to come alive and began to grow, twist, and deform wildly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into countless sharp thorn chains, wrapping around everyone like a python.
"Ah! What the hell is this!"
“Help!”
Screams rang out one after another. The militants had no time to react before they were tightly entangled by the thorn chains. The sharp spikes pierced their skin and blood dyed the ground red.
The landowner was also entangled by a thorn chain around his ankle. He looked in horror at the madly growing metal and struggled desperately, but to no avail.
Mou Xuan was also stunned by the scene before him. He felt a powerful force surging from his crystallized arms, controlling these metals.
What is going on? His blood can actually activate these metals?
"Brother Xuan..." Chen Yao's voice sounded again, with a hint of trembling.
Mou Xuan turned his head and saw Chen Yao holding a medical bag, looking at him with complicated eyes.
"I...I..." She seemed to want to say something, but swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.
Mou Xuan noticed that the medical kit contained some crystallized arm fragments...
