When Kia heard that Chen Rui was going to the Crystal Valley, she wanted to follow him to see the place where her mother died, but the Crystal Valley was obviously not peaceful now. Chen Rui finally convinced her.
Last time, Chen Rui used the spiritual link to cancel the symbiotic contract with Paglio in Town Lupin, but he used "truncation" instead of "cancellation".
Cancellation meant elimination, while truncation meant to retain the attributes obtained from the connection and forcibly break the link, but the price was higher than "cancellation". Chen Rui spent 1 million auras to cut off the symbiotic contract at that time.
It was not because he deliberately wanted to steal Paglio's life, but because he had spent hundreds of years in the training ground in the past, which far exceeded the lifespan of ordinary humans. If he canceled it, he would probably die immediately due to the exhaustion of his lifespan, let alone covering Paglio and Athena to escape.
In this way, just like Manu last time, the characteristics given by the symbiotic contract were retained, including the powerful ability to have sex. In fact, even without the power given by the symbiotic contract, the Super System's own blue, red, and wretched characteristics of [Double Training] were enough for him to run on another battlefield. Especially [Double Training], he could use the help of the Dark Will to deal with the special devouring physique of the succubus maid.
In the morning, Chen Rui slowly sat up, pulled the blanket over, and covered Kia's fair and attractive body.
Last night's hard work made the little maid orgasm several times, and she was almost paralyzed. She was sleeping sweetly now. He gently kissed the succubus' forehead, got up quietly, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.
At the moment when Chen Rui turned around and walked out of the door, Kia's beautiful eyes opened gently, and she quietly watched his back disappear. The little maid understood that she was not strong enough to be a burden to him. The only thing she could do now was to pray for him to come back safely.
Chen Rui bid farewell to Jía and her sister, rode on a wyvern, and left the Bloody Vine Flower City. He flew toward the Dark Moon in the south, but in fact, he took a detour to the north. His goal was the Black Iron Mountain Range in the north.
The rule of the contract was that the same contract could only be used on the same target once in a lifetime. Even if Paglio wanted to sign a symbiotic contract again, it was impossible. Fortunately, there were other equality contracts. Chen Rui's equality link quota was now 5. After signing the non-harming equality link with Paglio, there were still 4 spots left.
Since the temporary [Battle Enhancement] effect was quite obvious, 2 of the 4 spots were given to Rolla and Krobelus, who had the strongest combat power, while 2 spots were temporarily vacant. Lomont was unable to sign a second contract because he had already signed some kind of spiritual contract with the companion beast, evil eye tyrant, while Delia, Athena, and others admitted that their combat power was insufficient, so they did not want to waste the limited spots.
Chen Rui did not force them. His idea was to wait until he had accumulated enough faith crystals before signing a contract with them one by one. In the future, he would use the [Star Enhancement] that could permanently enhance their strength. However, that was not cheap. Just the first level of [Star Enhancement] required 100,000 faith crystals. It was incomparable with the 100 crystals consumed by the time-limited [Battle Enhancement]. Moreover, it was grayed out now and could not be used.
After the establishment of Shura's [War Faith], the production speed of faith crystals had indeed increased a lot. At present, there were more than 900. It would not be long before he could try the strongest [Royal Star Transformation] skill.
The area of the Bloody Vine Flower Estate was very wide, but it was slightly smaller than the Dark Moon. Chen Rui was going to the northernmost Black Iron Mountain Range. Even riding the wyvern, it took him 5 days to reach the misty swamp where the Crystal Valley was located. This speed was already very fast. The last time he went with Manu, he rode on the mutated griffin, and it took him 7 days.
As Crawford said, the misty swamp area was heavily guarded, and there were many magic protection circles, but this defense was aimed at the "entrance" that Catherine forcibly broke open with her power. Chen Rui knew that the Crystal Valley also had a special passage that used the Dragon Inscription to enter and exit. Sure enough, those hidden inscriptions were not destroyed, especially the triple inscriptions in front of the pool. Through the pool's teleportation, Chen Rui successfully bypassed the defensive military force and entered the Crystal Valley.
The scenery of the Crystal Valley was still beautiful, but the original Devouring Hall, Nightmare Valley, Crystal Lair and other facilities were abandoned, and some were transformed into mining facilities. Chen Rui recalled the past when he was "undercover" in the Crystal Valley as if it was yesterday. The death of Freya and Rafael had always been a hidden pain in his heart.
Power, I still need stronger power to be able to protect important people.
Chen Rui took a deep breath and set his eyes on the entrance of the mining area, which was the former site of the crystal dragon Jacob's Crystal Lair. The miners here had long been evacuated by General Crawford. Except for the heavily guarded army outside, there was no one in the entire Crystal Valley.
Chen Rui was still dressed in a cloak. According to the mining map provided by Crawford, he entered the mine pit and sneaked all the way with the light of the mine pit.
This underground mine pit was quite spacious and accessible in all directions. Its grandeur was comparable to that of Mountain Xilang. Strictly speaking, it was not built by Crawford or Catherine, but by the original crystal dragon Jacob. Because the crystal dragon had not recovered from the serious injury caused by Paglio back then, due to his special physique, potions could not work. He needed to use magic circles to absorb the power of the crystal mine to repair his body. However, before the poor crystal dragon could fully recover, he encountered a wretched Master Arthur. As a result, he was lucky enough to have a friendly "learning" with the Demon Realm's top beauty. He was even more injured, and he fled in embarrassment.
Unsurprisingly, the magic map was interfered with by some force, and it quickly lost its effectiveness. Chen Rui continued to move forward with the physical map provided by Crawford. Of course, there were also considerable errors in this map, especially the illusion caused by some magic circle interference. However, Chen Rui was no longer the rookie in Mountain Xilang. He marked and corrected the map while fumbling forward. Although this kind of carpet search was slow and he would often reach a dead end, it could avoid mistakes to the greatest extent. The corrected map was still of considerable value to the Bloody Vine Flower Estate.
Sure enough, after a while, Chen Rui keenly discovered the existence of the magic circle, and it was also mixed with the breath of the Dragon Inscription. Perhaps it was the mechanism left by the crystal dragon back then. It seemed to be a set of quite complicated mechanisms.
It was not so easy to dispel the Dragon Inscription. It was just like a minesweeper. Even if there was the corresponding knowledge and facilities, it was still very dangerous. With the help of the Super System, Chen Rui had fully mastered Paglio's teachings. When he was in the Crystal Valley, the crystal dragon also imparted part of his own insights. Later, with the addition of Rolla's powerful inscription knowledge, Chen Rui's Dragon Inscription level now surpassed Paglio and was second only to Rolla. He did not spend a lot of time and mental effort to crack the inscription, but he carefully bypassed it. He tried not to disturb or trigger those inscriptions just in case. He also searched for the whereabouts of Master Rummenigge.
About 3 hours later, Chen Rui finally figured out the law of the changes of the Dragon Inscription. It was indeed a large-scale and advanced inscription magic circle. He traced the source step by step and carefully approached the source.
The size of this pit was larger than Chen Rui imagined. It seemed to be endless, and the terrain and layout didn't seem to be like a pit, but a complicated and huge underground maze.
What surprised Chen Rui was that after passing through a few chain inscriptions, he actually vaguely felt a trace of ancient runes. He was very clear that the crystal dragon didn't understand ancient runes. When he grabbed Rolla's stone slab, he only used the mysterious power of the stone slab itself to heal his injuries. Moreover, the 6 stone slabs had been stolen by Chen Rui now. With the crystal dragon's level, he definitely couldn't set up ancient runes of this level. Could it be that the Bloodfall still has a master in this field?
While Chen Rui was surprised, he suddenly showed vigilance and hid his body in the shadows. Soon, a figure appeared in the faint light ahead.
The figure's movements were a bit stiff. His whole body was covered in crystal clear crystals which reflected a strange light under the magic lamp.
Race: Crystal Man (Puppet). Comprehensive Strength Assessment: C-. Physique: C, Strength: C, Spirit: F-, Agility: D-. Attribute: Anti-Magic.
Demon King-level … Crystal Man? This familiar crystal puppet made Chen Rui finally understand that the strange things that happened here were all caused by his "old friend"!
Although there were still some doubts about the ancient runes, Chen Rui didn't think much about it. He followed the crystal puppet all the way forward. The crystal puppet had no autonomous consciousness. It would only obey the master's orders. Although it had a certain perception ability, it still couldn't detect the stalker who had reached the Demon Emperor level.
The light began to brighten. The crystal man came to a place and stopped. There were several similar crystal puppets inside, and many Demons carried the mined ore from the surrounding mines from time to time.
These Demons were dispirited and looked very tired. However, they would be beaten or even killed by the crystal man if they stopped for a moment. Judging from their attire, they should be the miners who had disappeared in the previous pit. The role of the crystal puppet seemed to be to patrol and supervise.
Chen Rui thought of something and secretly approached them. He quietly changed into a miner's attire, then he walked forward boldly, took a basket of ore, and followed the miners who were carrying it forward.
The mined ore was carried by the miners to a place which was a hall surrounded by a circle of crystal puppets. It was heavily guarded. There was something like a teleportation portal at the front, and the ore was poured into the teleportation portal.
Near the teleportation portal, there was a middle-aged man in his forties with an extraordinary bearing. He was directing the miners to draw magic imprints on the ground.
Chen Rui's eyes lit up. This middle-aged man was one of his targets this time, Master Rummenigge!
