Behind the stone door was the purpose of the masked man's trip.
Unlike the scarecrow, he would not take the initiative to eliminate humans.
However, if he encountered one, he would treat it as a roadblock.
Matthew was actually unlucky to have met the masked man in the passage.
If he had turned around and fled without hesitation, he would not have been treated as a roadblock by the masked man. Perhaps he could have survived.
In the eyes of the masked man, killing Matthew was like an ordinary person walking on the road and kicking a stone away. Its importance was frighteningly low.
This kind of casual killing made Matthew's sacrifice seem so cheap.
The masked man came to the heavy stone door. The three white butterflies never left the masked man too far away.
"Core energy … Core energy …!"
Ever since he saw the stone door, the masked man had been coming and going in a language that sounded obscure.
The stone door was very large and could accommodate dozens of people at the same time.
The edge of the door frame and even the top were raw boulders that had not been carved. The surface was rough and was not even as good as the bricks in the ruins' passages and rooms.
Judging from the appearance, it was quite thick and heavy, and it was difficult to judge the specific thickness of the stone door.
Moreover, there were dozens of rough engravings on the door, intertwined like a spider web.
The faint light of the energy crystals flowed through these dozens of notches, like fireflies that flickered in the darkness of the night.
The masked man stood in front of the stone door and kept repeating that sentence, but he did not make any move to push the stone door open. Instead, he … raised his hands.
Just like that, he used his long and sharp nails to pierce deeply into the stone door.
The seemingly hard stone door was easily penetrated by the masked man's nails like tofu.
"Kacha …"
The masked man did not push the stone door open. Instead, he dug.
The speed of his waving hands gradually increased, and the number of gravel on the ground in front of the door increased rapidly.
In just a moment, the masked man had dug a big hole in the stone door.
Perhaps because he was digging deeper, the masked man was obviously a little excited. He put more strength into his hands!
Just like that, he dug through the stone door.
The unique light of the energy crystal overflowed from the hole he dug, reflecting on his smooth and flawless white mask.
"Core energy …"
The masked man's upper body suddenly reached into the hole. He put his hands together and stretched them forward. Then, he pulled them to the left and right. Then, he violently expanded the area of the hole.
Then, he dashed into the room on the other side of the stone door, landed nimbly, and stood up steadily.
The three butterflies followed closely behind, fluttering around the masked man.
This was also a large room that was filled with the gentle glow of energy crystals.
However, this place was not a safe zone. There were no floating crystals, nor were there any crystal thorns that were stuck to the wall or hanging in the air like the sea urchin thorns.
The source of the crystal light was a stone platform in the middle of the room.
To be precise, the source of the light was the ring-shaped crystal on the stone platform that looked like a genetic factor. It spiraled upwards and extended to a height of more than three meters.
At the top of the crystal, there was a naked, white-haired human lying on his back. His arms and legs were hanging down naturally, and his back was connected to the crystal.
On the ground below the stone platform, there were hundreds of finger-thick crystals that extended to the bottom of the surrounding walls like a spider web. They seemed to have penetrated into the walls, and no one knew where they went.
After the masked man entered the room, his eyes were fixed on the white-haired human on the top of the spiral crystal.
"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha!"
He suddenly let out intermittent laughter that was completely human.
One could easily hear his excitement, ecstasy, and other emotions from his voice.
So, was he a human?
Was the existence at the top of the crystal also a human?
The butterflies fluttering around the masked man suddenly turned into a mass of telekinesis and imprinted on the masked man's mask, turning into three lifelike butterflies.
Then, the masked man stamped his feet and quickly arrived at the side of the stone platform.
Without any hesitation, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed one of the spiral crystals. Then, he suddenly exerted his strength and lifted the entire stone platform.
Crack — Pa —
The stone platform was lifted up by the masked man. The hundreds of crystals that extended from the bottom suddenly broke, making a sound like glass shattering.
On the other hand, the white-haired human on top of the spiral crystal did not move at all, as if he was glued there by superglue.
At the same time, the hundreds of safe zones in the underground ruins suddenly lost their light.
If this place was a game map, then in just a short span of time, the hundreds of lit areas on the map suddenly dimmed.
The crystals in the safe zones lost their light, and the production line of the copper mechanical life forms was also lost.
At the same time, it lost its function as a safe zone.
Bujand's team and the Hunters' Association's team all used the safe zones as temporary combat bases.
They were in the safe zones, and the crystals floating in the air suddenly dimmed, as if the electricity had been cut off, causing the room to suddenly sink into darkness.
At that moment, everyone was not thinking about why the crystals lost their light, but whether the safe zones still had the effect of blocking the copper mechanical life forms outside.
On Bujand's team's side.
Originally, Shell Rotter and Jerome, who had returned to the safe zones, were reporting about Matthew's death.
Matthew was the first victim that appeared after their team came to the Darkness Continent. In addition, many parts of the scene could not be explained, so Bujand paid a lot of attention to it.
Just as they were discussing this matter, the whole room suddenly sank into darkness.
However, in the next second, Graham casually conjured a searchlight and flung it around, instantly illuminating the whole room.
Bujand raised his head and looked at the crystals floating in the air, revealing an interested expression.
"The situation isn't good."
Paristone narrowed his eyes.
"What do you mean?" someone asked.
"Normally, this place shouldn't be safe."
Paristone shifted his gaze away from the crystals and looked at the surrounding entrances.
After observing for a while, he shifted his gaze to Shell Rotter and reminded him, "Alert us immediately when you hear any movements."
"Understood!"
Shell Rotter nodded with a serious expression.
On the other side, the Hunters' Association also used psychic means to create light sources to illuminate the room.
Their judgment was the same as that of Bujand's team. They all thought that since the crystals had lost their light, it meant that the safe zones had lost their effect. In other words, the copper mechanical life forms should be able to enter the safe zones.
On the ground that neither side could see, there was an intense uproar.
The few entrances in the ruins were all destroyed by the copper mechanical life forms.
In a frenzied manner, they drilled into the underground ruins from the entrances of the ruins from all directions.
The moment the riot happened, it was when the masked man dismantled the stone platform.
