The transportation to Crystal Valley wasn't a carriage, but a griffin. This griffin was a mutated breed. Its speed was very fast, but it was slightly inferior to wyverns. Of course, its combat power was still far from being comparable.
This time, Sabrina and her daughter also came together. The potioneer's manor in the Bloody Vine Flower City was just a temporary stronghold. The real base should be in this Crystal Valley.
Even the mutated griffin took nearly seven days to arrive. The endless swamp in front of them was simply a barren land. No matter how they looked at it, it didn't match the dreamy name of "Crystal Valley".
According to the information obtained from Fatilu, it should be Fatilu's first time here too. Both Manu and Sabrina looked calm. Manu walked at the front and specifically instructed Chen Rui and Fatilu to walk according to his footprints. Sometimes, their posture also needed to be changed to avoid accidents. Meanwhile, Sabrina was at the back.
When Chen Rui was in Town Pascal previously, he had specially studied the map of the Bloody Vine Flower Estate. This swamp was very large. It was probably the misty swamp in the northern Black Iron Mountain Range. The scope of the Black Iron Mountain Range was very large. It was far above the Xilang Mountain Range and was already close to the Bloody Empire.
There were many creatures in the swamp, such as mutated crocodiles and giant lizards. However, he didn't see any high-level demonic beasts such as wyverns and hydra. Instead, the number of dragonflies was surprisingly large. These dragonflies were somewhat different from the ones Chen Rui saw in the Silent Night Wetland before. They seemed to have a much stronger combat power. Besides, their bodies were also flashing with a faint light. In [Analytical Eyes], it was shown as a mutated breed.
Chen Rui followed Manu's footsteps and walked forward. The familiar feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. Dragon Inscription!
What was laid in the misty swamp was Dragon Inscription!
The power of this inscription was only slightly inferior to the inscription near Paglio's treasure in the Silent Night Wetland!
Is this another secret treasure location left by the Dragons?
After walking for half a day, Manu stopped on a high hill. In front of him was a large pool. The water was dark green and bubbling from time to time. The air was filled with a rancid smell. It was obviously poisonous. It was likely that there were poisonous demonic beasts such as hydra.
"We're here."
"Grandpa Manu, are you kidding?" Fatilu asked in surprise, "This is the Crystal Valley? Why does it look like a putrid pool of poison? "
Chen Rui was the first to answer, "A magic formation! This must be the effect of some kind of magic array! This Magic Circle should be of the compound type. It's much more complicated than the ones we passed on the way here. It seems that this trip was worth it. Now I'm even more curious about the Crystal Valley! "
In fact, he knew very well that this was a triple compound Dragon Inscription, Illusion + Simulation + Fixed-point Teleportation.
Manu showed a look of approval, "You're indeed a talented genius master of magic circles! I believe the things inside won't disappoint you! "
After that, Manu actually jumped straight into the poisonous pool. The pool water splashed high, and his figure disappeared instantly. Fatilu couldn't help but exclaim.
It was just a simulated inscription! Chen Rui despised Manu's action of entering the water. The degree of difficulty is too low. He doesn't even know how to make water splash. Ten points deducted!
Behind him, Sabrina comforted her daughter, "Don't be afraid, Fatilu. Just jump down."
On the other side, Chen Rui had already jumped down without hesitation. Sure enough, after a dazzling teleportation feeling, he had arrived at a strange place.
This was a beautiful place, surrounded by undulating huge mountains that surrounded a long and narrow green area. This narrow and long was only relative to the huge mountains. Even in the narrowest area, there were still dozens of well-proportioned houses. There was a clear river in the middle, and a waterfall could be vaguely seen in the distance.
The beautiful scenery of green mountains and clear water could be described as a paradise. Compared to the dangerous muddy swamp, it was a world of difference. This was the real Crystal Valley!
Sabrina and Fatilu's figures soon appeared next to Chen Rui. Seeing Chen Rui and Fatilu's surprised expression, Manu smiled slightly, "Let's go. There will be plenty of time to enjoy it in the future."
Manu led the three of them down. There were many vigilant guards along the way. When they saw Manu, they showed respect, but some turned a blind eye. They seemed to be some kind of puppet that had lost its mind.
Chen Rui paid attention to a strange creature. This creature had the form of an ordinary Demons or a human. Its whole body was covered with crystal clear crystals. Its movements were relatively stiff, a bit like a robot.
After deliberately approaching the effective distance, data appeared in [Analytical Eyes]. Race: Crystal Man (Puppet). Comprehensive Strength Assessment: C. Physique: C +, Strength: C +, Spirit: F-, Agility: D.
Pure strength and physique type. Spirit was almost negligible while agility was a weakness. However, the physique and strength of the peak of Demon King really couldn't be ignored, especially there was more than one.
Could this kind of puppet be made by Kia's father, Azgalor? Although this power was not as good as Glorfin's strongest Great Demon King-level spirit-devouring demonic fly, the number of Glorfin's spirit-devouring demonic flies was very limited. The number of crystal men in front of him was almost equivalent to a small army.
Manu noticed his gaze and smiled, "These are the crystal guards of the Crystal Valley. Their bodies are strong and extremely strong. Magic damage to them is only half. They can be called the nemesis of magic. What's more terrifying is that they don't feel any pain. The only flaw is that they are slightly slow."
Judging from the data, Manu should be telling the truth. Chen Rui deliberately asked, "I've never seen this kind of guard before. Is it a new race in the Demon Realm? Why do I feel like they are being controlled? Is it the masterpiece of an alchemist master? Are there other masters in this Crystal Valley? "
"There are indeed other mechanic masters and potion masters in the Crystal Valley, but this has nothing to do with the crystal guards. The crystal guards were created by another person. I'm planning to bring you to meet this person. He is very powerful. He can be considered the real owner of the Crystal Valley. Even I can't compare to him."
Kia's father is so powerful? Even Manu admitted that he's not his opponent? Just when Chen Rui thought Manu would say Azgalor's name, Manu said instead, "This person's name is Jacob."
Not Azgalor! Chen Rui was shocked: Another new Demon Overlord! In that case, this force has at least three Demon Overlord powerhouses!
Three Demon Overlords. Even in an empire, it's shocking enough! As a matter of fact, Chen Rui's father-in-law, the general of the Fallen Angel Empire, is only the peak stage of the Demon Emperor! (Speaking of which, with those potions and Paglio's guidance, father-in-law should be able to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible and reach the level of Demon Overlord …)
However, even if they were at the same Demon Overlord level, the difference in combat power was not small due to the difference in territory and power. Paglio's strength was at the peak stage of the Demon Overlord back then. He claimed that he could deal with dozens of powerhouses of the same level. Chen Rui wasn't sure if he was bragging.
"Let's go and meet Jacob. Sabrina and Fatilu will stay here for a while, but I have more important things to do, so I can't stay for long. Jacob's temper is a bit weird. He's moody and not easy to get along with. You'd better be careful. If you see something awkward, don't say anything. "
From Manu's tone, Chen Rui could guess that the Crystal Valley was actually divided into factions. Due to [Soul Shackles], it was obvious that Manu had regarded Chen Rui as one of his own.
Manu walked forward with Chen Rui. It wasn't Sabrina's first time here, so she didn't follow them to meet Jacob. Instead, she brought Fatilu to the building complex on another hillside.
Chen Rui followed Manu and came to a huge manor on the mountainside. Along the way, there were crystal guards. Although these crystal men were like puppets, as if they were just moving sculptures without any danger, Chen Rui didn't dare to underestimate these strange lifeforms. In addition to the ordinary crystal men of Demon King level, there were also mutated crystal men of Great Demon King level.
These crystal men had powerful strength and attributes. If they were brought outside, they would definitely be the most terrifying army. Chen Rui thought as he walked. Unknowingly, he had arrived at the manor.
What surprised Chen Rui was that the facilities in the manor were much more luxurious than he imagined. The doorposts were carved with obsidian, the railings were made of topaz, and the corridors were inlaid with gems. It was just that compared with the beautiful scenery outside, this luxury had a "vulgar" taste. It was as if a short and vulgar nouveau riche was showing off his stink of money in front of an elegant and refined beauty. There was an indescribable feeling of discomfort.
This was clearly showing off his wealth, and it was the lowest-grade method. It felt like he was showing off his golden teeth by smirking at others. The more Chen Rui looked at it, the more awkward he felt. Thinking of Manu's previous instruction, "Don't say anything awkward", he swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
The houses in this manor were ridiculously large. It could even accommodate a giant dragon. There weren't many crystal men in the manor. The ones walking around were some women dressed as maids. They almost had a common characteristic. These women were all tall, plump, and even … almost strong.
When the maids saw Manu, they saluted one after another. Manu said to a maid, "Go and tell Sir Jacob that I brought an important guest to see him."
The maidservant bowed and walked towards the largest house. Not long after, the maidservant returned and invited the two of them to enter.
The facilities in the house could only be described as more luxurious and rustic. It was like sleeping in a pile of money. To be honest, if the golden bed that Jacob was lying on now was made of real gold crystals, then it was indeed similar to sleeping on a mountain of money.
Looking at the figure of the maids, he imagined that Jacob should be a tall guy, and … uh, a guy with a heavy taste. However, the Jacob in front of him was thin. Even if he was compared to Chen Rui himself, he was still shorter. His appearance was not good either. His skin was somewhat similar to an albino, and his hair was also white.
What was even more speechless was that this guy was actually lying in the arms of a maid whose upper body was naked. He was even unscrupulously playing with the maid's plump chest in front of the two of them. The maid was very cooperative and moaned in ecstasy.
This scene was indeed embarrassing, but the strongest feeling in Chen Rui's heart was not embarrassment, but horror.
Race: Dragons (crystal dragon). Comprehensive Strength Assessment: Unable to judge!
Demon Overlord-level Dragons … Crystal Dragon … Jacob!
Chen Rui felt vaguely familiar when he heard Jacob's name previously. Now, with the information of [Analytical Eyes], he finally knew the origin of the short and thin man in front of him. The crystal dragon, Jacob, was one of Paglio's enemies back then!
