She felt her heart tighten.
What is Scarlet Crystal?
It is the source of life for alien invaders!
They knew before that the process of using white crystal to transform scarlet crystal was extremely complicated and could not be achieved on Earth. The white crystal had to be sent back to the mother planet.
Because of this, the concentrated scarlet crystal is so precious.
Their plan was based on this. If they destroyed the concentrated scarlet crystal, the alien invaders would lose their source of life and flee in panic.
But the huge, non-condensed scarlet crystal in front of them suddenly appeared, as if mocking their plans.
If the alien invaders can already create scarlet crystals on Earth, then their plan will be useless!
"I say, can we go home now?" Qin Fu looked at the giant scarlet crystal and felt that he had lost his motivation.
He also thought of the meaning represented by this huge scarlet crystal.
"...No, this is impossible." Xu Ying walked towards the scarlet crystal.
It shouldn't be possible for alien invaders to refine scarlet crystal on Earth.
There's something wrong with this giant scarlet crystal!
The closer she got, the more she felt something was wrong.
Because the closer she got, the more comfortable she felt, and she even felt her mind relax.
This is the characteristic of white crystal.
She walked over to the huge crystal and reached out to touch it.
"...This isn't a scarlet crystal." Her furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she let out a long breath. "This is the normal World Tree core, a pristine white crystal."
"Pure white crystal?" Zeng Tao raised her head and looked at the entire crystal. "But it's red?"
Xu Ying was also a little puzzled by this.
The properties it exhibits are clearly those of white crystal, so why does it appear to be the color of scarlet crystal?
A little weird...
Um?
Xu Ying thought of a possibility.
Her eyes slowly widened.
"Ah, I get it!" She clapped her hands, looked up at the huge crystal in front of her, and gradually backed away.
As she retreated, gradually, the full picture of the World Tree's core appeared in her field of vision.
After seeing the crystal clearly again, her eyes became brighter: "I know what's going on!"
"Ah? What's going on? Isn't this really scarlet crystal?" Wen Guixin asked.
"No, of course not." Xu Ying smiled, "However, this scarlet light does have something to do with our goal."
The others were puzzled.
What's the meaning?
"Think about it, where in our world tree can we see the core of our world tree?" Xu Ying reminded.
"Where...the underground space?" Zeng Tao replied.
In their world tree, in the underground space, which is the control area where Ji Chaoyang and others are now, they can see the core of the world tree.
The underground space is an area surrounded by the roots of the World Tree, and directly above the entire area, a part of the World Tree's core is exposed.
The reason why that area is so bright is because of the light released by the core of the World Tree that is exposed in the dome.
The upper part of the core of the World Tree, like the core of the tree house, is above the ground, which is the part that Xu Ying and the others are seeing now.
In this way, the location of the core of the World Tree can be determined.
Below the core is an underground space, with the lower half of the core exposed in the underground space, while the upper half of the core is exposed in the hollow area at the center of the World Tree's trunk.
That is the area where they are now.
To put it simply, the core of the World Tree is stuck in the ground, with the underground space below and the hollow area of the trunk above.
"Oh..." Qin Fu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
"What's going on?" Zeng Tao turned to look at him, her face full of curiosity. "Why is this happening?"
"Think about it, where is the target we are looking for now?" Qin Fu asked.
"Are you talking about the scarlet crystal? Isn't it in the underground space?" Zeng Tao pointed down.
"Oh!" Wen Guixin also understood, and showed the same surprised expression, "I understand too..."
"What? How do you all understand?" Zeng Tao looked confused.
"I don't understand everything, at least I don't understand." Zhao Xiaochuan pointed to his nose.
"I don't understand either." Wang Lei scratched his head.
Xu Ying explained it to them.
The reason is actually very simple.
As mentioned earlier, there is an underground space beneath the core of the World Tree, and the scarlet crystal that emits an extremely dazzling scarlet light is located in the underground space of the World Tree.
The light emitted by the scarlet crystal penetrated the core of the World Tree in the dome of the underground space in reverse, turning the entire core of the World Tree blood red.
The core of the World Tree was like a lens, allowing the light from the underground scarlet crystal to pass through it to the ground and reach where Xu Ying and the others were.
So, they saw a world tree core that seemed to be emitting scarlet light but was actually very normal.
As for the evidence…
Xu Ying had just observed the entire core of the World Tree. The scarlet color of the lower part close to the ground was obviously darker than that of the upper part, which confirmed her guess.
The scarlet light shines from the bottom up, and the white crystal is not completely transparent, so naturally the color becomes lighter the higher it goes.
At the very top, the red is very light.
Strictly speaking, this is not a scarlet World Tree Core, but a gradient colored World Tree Core.
From bottom to top, it gradually changes from a darker scarlet to a bright white.
It was just because the entire crystal was too large to be easily observed in its entirety, and everyone was shocked by the scarlet light, so they didn't notice this situation at first.
"So, this scarlet light is actually emitted by the scarlet crystal?" Zeng Tao finally understood, and then said excitedly, "Then we are very close to the scarlet crystal now! The crystal is right under our feet! We can even see the light, it's so close!"
"Even though it's right under my feet..."
Qin Fu stepped on the ground and said helplessly, "But we don't know how to get down. The guy who knew how to get down just died."
Everyone looked around.
Yeah, how to go down?
The scarlet crystal is right within reach.
