In the box, black energy crystals were stacked together, emitting a mysterious luster that was intoxicating.
Hayashi River had seen black energy crystals before, but this was the first time he had seen such a pure black color, like the darkness of the night.
With his keen senses, he could clearly sense that the energy waves contained within the black energy crystals were a unique characteristic that he had never encountered before.
"Energy crystals produced in the depths of the Black Sea?" Hayashi River murmured.
"Yes, kid. You don't know how precious this thing is. Even the [Shadow Flowing Light Crystal] pales in comparison …" Mossy Bone exclaimed excitedly.
Mossy Bone shouted excitedly. In ancient times, this black energy crystal had a terrifying name — Dark Devouring Crystal. It had many uses.
Hayashi River shook his head slightly, interrupting Mossy Bone's eloquent explanation. He quickly picked up the detector and checked the contents of the box. After confirming that there were no problems, he put the box away properly.
Fortunately, he was wearing a mechanic's robe, which could store many things. This was also the reason why Hayashi River liked to wear it and wander around. Firstly, it was convenient to store things, and secondly, it was useful to have the identity of a mechanic.
"Let's go. The things in this box are so precious, don't let that old fellow Limen discover them. "
Hayashi River muttered as he left the secret place, sealed the door outside, and met up with his companions as if nothing had happened.
At this moment —
In the depths of the cave, Chief Limen had already gained a lot of favorability points in front of everyone. Old Aidan, Hai Wuya, and Bayun all felt that he was a respectable elder.
Even Ramila's view of her adoptive father's elder brother had changed greatly.
"Mr. Chuan, you're back."
Village Chief Limen nodded slightly and briefly explained the plan he had come up with with Bayun.
This plan was actually something that the old fire gnome and Lin Chuan had come up with. However, they had made some adjustments.
"From the looks of it, the enemies we are facing are very strong. Shi Hulie, Zhong Wangsun, and the Northern Bow Family. These three great level-8 powerhouses are likely to be our enemies.
"However, we also have allies here. Lord Wolf of Limestone Ridge has always been at odds with Shi Hulie, and I can contact him about this.
"With the addition of the centaur army, we should be able to deal with these enemies. The key is to find the real culprit … "
"Since Mr. Chuan is in Shi Haishan City, you will be in charge of investigating Shi Hulie."
…
Village Chief Li Men explained the contents of the plan.
Hayashi River had no objections and discussed some details of the plan with the fire gnome elder. He then used the excuse of asking about some things in the cave, but was diverted by village chief Limen and tactfully refused to answer.
Then, the group of companions did not linger. They were led by the gorilla-like beast and prepared to leave the cave.
Before leaving, Hayashi River looked at the ferocious beast and asked Village Chief Limen what kind of beast it was for it to be so obedient.
"This is a secret … If the plan succeeds, I will give it to Mr. Chuan as a reward. Taming these beasts takes a lot of time and is incomparably precious! "The Fire Gnome Elder informed softly.
Hayashi River smiled and nodded, then left with his companions.
…
After leaving the Shi Haishan Secret Realm, the hover car drove onto the main road. Hayashi River touched the chest under his robe and calmed down.
In the earpiece, Mossy Bone sneered, "Hmph … That old fellow Limen is very dishonest! He speaks as if he tamed those 'Thorn Beasts'. I'm afraid he doesn't even know the name of the 'Thorn Beasts'. "
Hayashi River did not mind. Fire gnomes were naturally cunning, not to mention a fellow like Limen. He might be the strongest among the Seven Great Realms Seven in terms of strength and foundation.
Even if what Village Chief Limen said was 100% true, Hayashi River would only believe half of it.
Perhaps Village Chief Limen was not the only direct descendant of Cromwell, and only obtained a portion of the continent's Madman's inheritance …
Perhaps Village Chief Limen did not have good intentions during the competition between the Seven Great Realms Seven …
Perhaps Village Chief Limen had a part in the explosion of the experimental base 12 years ago …
Hayashi River remained skeptical of these conjectures. The only thing he believed in was the truth that he had investigated.
Of course, there was one more thing that could be confirmed, and that was that Shi Hulie and his side were enemies.
This was already confirmed from the chaos in Shi Haishan City that night.
"Shi Hulie, the owner of the green coat of arms …"
Hayashi River muttered to himself. It seemed that he needed to gain a deeper understanding of this mysterious existence in Shi Haishan City who could summon the wind and summon the rain.
The atmosphere in the car was somewhat heavy. Everyone was a little terrified at the thought that the enemies they were about to face were likely three great realms eight factions.
"Bayern, don't look so bitter. It's not like we have to deal with three great realms eight. If we really fight, there's still your centaur legion … "Old Aidan consoled.
The majestic centaur sat there with a solemn expression. He shook his head at these words. He had yet to recover from the shock after learning the truth.
Turning to look at Hayashi River in the back, Bayern could not help but feel more at ease when he saw that the latter was looking out the window without much anxiety.
He had only known this young Mechanic for a short time, but he had seen his various means, and Bayern was increasingly impressed by Hayashi River.
Now, seeing that this young Mechanic was so calm, the majestic centaur instantly felt much more at ease. Presumably, it would not be too difficult for Hayashi River to investigate the true culprit from back then.
At this moment, Hayashi River was actually not thinking about this at all. Instead, he was listening to Mossy Bone mention the treasure in the box again.
"[Dark Devourer Energy Crystal]. Little Chuan, this thing is very rare even for the Oceanic Beast Army, let alone the creatures of the continent.
"In our era, [Dark Devourer Energy Crystal] was completely mined by the Oceanic Beast Army, and there was not a single ore vein, not even the smallest one.
"However, this thing has many uses. If you can use [Dark Devourer Energy Crystal] in the creation of various Divine Weapons, you will obtain special abilities …"
Mossy Bone talked about the preciousness of this black energy crystal because it was too rare. In terms of value, it was even more precious than [Shadow Flowing Light Stone].
In ancient times, the powerful creatures of the continent had fought fiercely with the Oceanic Beast Army for [Dark Devourer Energy Crystal].
During the Dark Age, the energy crystal of the artifact that Mossy Bone and the others possessed was the [Dark Devourer Energy Crystal].
With the [Dark Devourer Energy Crystal], the modification of the [Phantom Bone Shadow] might be able to further break through and unleash the strength of a level-6 powerhouse.
There was also the [Seventh Armament]. If he used the [Dark Devourer Energy Crystal] and the [Shadow Flowing Light Stone], he might be able to create a better model than the one that Cromwell had once worn.
"This is a precious treasure …"
Hayashi River muttered to himself. He touched the small box under his robe and felt a little uneasy. It was really dangerous to carry such a box of precious treasures in Shihaishan City.
Other than the [Dark Devourer Energy Crystal], there were three [Shadow Flowing Light Stones] in the box, which happened to be what Hayashi River urgently needed.
As for the three sets of ancient weapons, because they left in such a hurry, Hayashi River did not have time to check them.
Suddenly, Hayashi River's expression changed slightly. He turned his head to look in the direction of the secret realm of Shi Haishan and thought to himself, "Sure enough, leaving the secret place quickly just now was the right choice." This was the source of that uneasiness …
…
At the same time.
In the depths of the cave, the secret place.
From the cracks in the tree trunk, emerald green sap of the Tree of Life continued to seep into the ground, and the surrounding emerald green mist became more and more pervasive.
On the side, the huge fierce beast was lying there, occupying a small part of the area. It fell into a deep sleep and snored from time to time.
At this time, somewhere in the tree trunk squirmed, and a figure emerged.
This figure had the appearance of an old man, but his whole body was made of bark. His figure gradually emerged and quickly condensed into a complete body, with only the knees submerged in the tree trunk.
From time to time, emerald green sap flowed out of the old man's eye sockets as he scanned the surroundings. Every time he breathed, a strong aura of life was spat out.
Seeing the huge Thorn Beast lying on the ground, sleeping soundly, the old man grinned, revealing a fierce expression. "This useless Thorn Beast, it's not easy to find a good container, but you let it run away and even let that box of treasures be taken away. What use do I have for you?! "
The old man cursed fiercely, waving his arm and constantly stretching out. Vines that were like swords pierced straight towards the sleeping Thorn Beast.
Bang!
From the huge tree trunk, there was a muffled sound. Branches and leaves popped out, binding the old man's arm and dragging it back bit by bit.
"Hu hu hu … this damned power of the Tree of Life!"
The old man panted heavily, his face constantly twisting, looking extremely ferocious. He struggled desperately, but he could not break free from the binding of these branches and leaves.
After a moment, the old man gave up, his arm returning to its original state. He panted, "Fine! I won't kill. In any case, there are many ways in this world to make people wish they were dead …
"As for this Thorn Beast, I'll let it continue guarding the door. Although it's a bit stupid, it's still the only useful Thorn Beast. What a pity, that young human just now was good in all aspects, an excellent container …
"With this container, I might be able to escape from here, what a pity …
"What's more, this young human also brought a strange beast with him, what a pity, what a pity … this is also a good container, although it's a beast …"
After muttering to himself for a while, the old man's emotions suddenly exploded, and he let out a low roar.
"This damned ancient cave, the last owner was an incomplete one, and this one is seriously injured and dying. Why am I so unlucky …"
"Just give me a complete vessel with a body that's in good condition. The owners of this ancient cave, they've all hidden this place, these bastards?! "
"Wait, wait a little longer, anyway, a thousand years have passed. As long as I can escape, the Northern King, the Centaur Race, and Cromwell, just you wait …"
"No, it's already been a thousand years, these guys should be dead. If I escape, I'll kill all their descendants …"
"So sleepy! This damned power of the Tree of Life, so sleepy … "
The old man muttered, his body gradually sinking into the tree trunk, and gradually disappeared.
He did not notice that there was a small protruding particle at the entrance of the cave, directly opposite to where he was.
This was the camouflage form of a mechanical bee, recording all the changes in the cave.
…
On the other side.
The group of companions had already returned to the Northern Sea Museum, while Hayashi River went into the laboratory and transmitted everything that happened in the secret cave to Mossy Bone. The latter was so shocked that he could not speak.
"What is this? A creature bred in the Tree of Life? "
Mossy Bone was so shocked that he was somewhat incoherent. He did not expect such a thing to be hidden in the deepest part of the secret place.
Hayashi River pondered for a moment, and said, "It should not be bred by the Tree of Life, but a certain powerhouse, because of the Tree of Life, became this form. He said that a thousand years ago, this is also a form of immortality."
Mossy Bone was silent, and the AI felt a chill. This form of immortality was not something anyone would be willing to accept.
On the side, Blue Kitty was also stunned. Looking at the appearance of the old man, its fur stood on end. If such a thing occupied its body, it would be finished.
Hayashi River turned on the light screen, entered the video, and began data analysis.
Beep beep …
A moment later, a series of data appeared. Hayashi River looked at it, and his brows relaxed.
"According to the data, this thing's accent is very similar to the accent of a person in the north of the Sea-Ao Empire, near the Grand Star Ao County, a thousand years ago. It should be a powerhouse who lived there for a long time."
"He also mentioned the King of the North, the Centaur Legion, and Cromwell. It seems that they are enemies. This guy must have been a very powerful warrior a thousand years ago."
"In this case, the identity of this thing is not difficult to find …"
Looking at the search interface, Hayashi River waited for a while. The light screen flashed, and several results appeared. They were all peerless powerhouses who were qualified to fight against Cromwell a thousand years ago.
One of the information caught Hayashi River's attention.
Grand Star Ao County, the 127th Commander of the Imperial Knights.
The Adjudicator of the Continent.
The King of the Empire.
One of the Eastern Continent's Ninth Realm powerhouses, Kesnari!
"Kesnari?!"
Mossy Bone exclaimed. Of course, he knew this name. This was a legendary powerhouse who shone like a diamond during the Hundred Years War a thousand years ago.
During the Continental War a thousand years ago, stars shone, and legendary powerhouses emerged one after another. The King of the Empire, Kesnari, was definitely one of the most dazzling legendary figures.
Back in the Sea-Ao Empire, Emperor Xing Ao, who had the strength of the Ninth Realm, was the true uncrowned king of the Eastern Continent.
The Imperial Knights led by the adjudicator of the continent, Kesnari, had once fought with the Dragon Clan Legion of the Western Continent and retreated unscathed.
The King of the North and the Centaur Legion, when the two joined forces, were invincible forces that swept through the continent.
In the southern part of the empire, Nanluo Province and Tun Kadaan Province were actually the three southern armies.
The Empire's Military Department and the Garrison Department could each gather a million elite troops in a day.
Apart from the officials, there were many peerless powerhouses, and …
The madman who later became the most powerful person on the continent.
The empire of that era was so powerful that it was suffocating. Otherwise, the armistice on the continent would not have been facilitated by that Emperor Xing Ao …
"King of the Empire, Kesnari …"
Lin Chuan tapped the table lightly with a contemplative expression. "This is a really powerful bomb!"
"Fortunately … you didn't go in, or it would have been troublesome …" Mossy Bone said with relief. Fortunately, he knew the danger of the Tree of Life Sap.
Hayashi River shook his head slightly. In fact, even without Mossy Bone's reminder, he would not have gone in.
At that time, he had stepped into the cave in the depths of the secret land, and the eyeball pattern on his forehead had given him an unprecedented pain.
He had taken a step back, but nothing had happened. He knew that the cave was very dangerous.
He had thought that the danger came from the trunk of the Tree of Life, but it turned out that the real reason was this …
Hayashi River lightly tapped the table and suddenly laughed. "It seems that the biggest gain from this trip is this. Such a dangerous thing, if used well …"
After thinking for a while, Hayashi River got up and went to find Fowler. He wanted to know the relationship between the Stone Family and Shi Hulie as soon as possible.
