Devourer of the Six Realms

Chapter 108 Crystal Prison

Jin Xiaokai and Cheng Xue walked through the ruins cautiously, but fortunately, they both had powerful bodies, so they didn't feel too troublesome about such small difficulties.

"God, it seems that this place has also experienced terrible damage." Jin Xiaokai jumped over a stone slab that was raised in mid-air, sighing endlessly.

"Judging from this situation, I'm afraid this is really a relic of ancient civilization. Aren't the relics on the earth also destroyed in a bad way?" Cheng Xue thinks that such an environment is more suitable for the name "relic".

"Can destroy such a large building as it is now, how powerful are those destroyers? It's really unimaginable."

"Haha, you're right." Kara in front heard what Jin Xiaokai said, and continued: "Compared to the strength of human beings before, you are indeed weak now, but there are various reasons for this. Yes, it's not as simple as you think."

"Oh?" Jin Xiaokai was a little curious: "Then tell me, what are the reasons?"

Carla giggled and said, "Do you want to talk to me? My mouth is very strict. You should slowly find a way to explore these things. If I talk too much, I will get into trouble."

Although Jin Xiaokai didn't say anything more, he was even more surprised in his heart.Obviously, Kara knows some secrets, and it can make it feel scruples. It seems that this is not simple.

"Little bastard, don't tell me, right? It's okay, one day I will dig all the secrets out of your mouth!"

Kara flew forward for a while, then turned back and said, "The front is what I want you to see, come here quickly."

Jin Xiaokai's curiosity arose in his heart, so he simply pulled Cheng Xue, and the envoy, Crystal Eater, flew over directly.Seeing this, Kara shouted: "You can finally fly too? It seems that you have gained a lot during this time!"

Jin Xiaokai didn't pay attention to this noisy guy, after passing through the passage, a huge space appeared in front of them, after seeing the things here, Jin Xiaokai and Cheng Xue were both dumbfounded.

The entire space is a huge circle, Jin Xiaokai and the others are located on the side wall of this circle.There are countless fine crystal fragments floating in this space, as if it is a space environment without gravity.Those crystal fragments were large and small, the small ones were at most the size of a fingernail, and the large ones were two or three meters in diameter. The finely fragmented crystals could still shine with a glimmer of light from time to time, which looked very beautiful.But what surprised the two of them was not these, but something sealed in a large crystal.

In several relatively complete large crystals, there are some human beings sealed up!
They were indeed human beings, male and female, as if they had fallen into a state of sleep, with serene faces.The clothes they wear are very weird, a bit similar to ancient styles, but the materials are gorgeous, and some of them are faintly flashing with defensive runes, and the light flows.

"Why, how can there be human beings here?!" Jin Xiaokai couldn't help shouting.He expanded his spirit, but he didn't feel the slightest breath of life. Obviously, these human beings had already lost their lives.

"This so-called temple is actually just a prison in ancient times. What you see now are all prisoners who were imprisoned at that time." Kara's voice came from behind. "That's how prisoners were imprisoned at that time—sealed in spar. On the one hand, it can delay aging, and at the same time, it can also play the role of sealing, because there are many prisoners who are powerful, and ordinary places can't hold them at all. .”

"However, these people are all dead now, didn't you say that aging can be delayed?"

"Stupid! I said it was in ancient times. Even if this kind of crystal can delay aging, it will lose its effect after tens of thousands of years have passed, right? Look at the people inside these crystals. Although their appearance has not changed, But in fact their bodies have been fused with the spar, or in other words, they have become spar."

"It's really scary." Jin Xiaokai felt a little scared.He never thought that the holy temple, which was regarded as the most precious treasure by the royal family of the Nine Star Empire, turned out to be just a spar prison from ancient times!

Jin Xiaokai took Cheng Xue up slowly, passed through the middle of the prison, and flew towards the opposite side.On the opposite side is another passage, which is where Carla entered in the first place.Looking at the scattered crystal stones floating around him, Jin Xiaokai couldn't help asking: "Kara, do you think people from the royal family have been here before? Don't they know the real purpose of this place?"

"This, it's hard to say." Kara landed on Jin Xiaokai's shoulder again, and explained: "Actually, there are many technologies and various relics of ancient civilizations here, and there are even many things that can greatly enhance the strength of organisms." Things, I think, maybe these are what the royal family fancy."

"Oh?" Jin Xiaokai immediately remembered that the crystal vessels that the man in black Tuo Lei found should also be things that enhance power.But Jin Xiaokai is not very interested in this kind of things, the thing he most hopes to find is the spirit.

"Eh?!" Jin Xiaokai's heart skipped a beat suddenly, his mental power seemed to touch some slight signs of life, which made him a little unbelievable.In this spar prison tens of thousands of years ago, are there any creatures that can survive?
"What's wrong?" Both Cheng Xue and Kara noticed Jin Xiaokai's strangeness.

"I seem to feel that there is something alive." Jin Xiaokai hesitated, not quite sure.

"Impossible!" Kara yelled, "It is impossible for living things to survive for tens of thousands of years! Tell me where?"

"This, it seems to be on the top..." Jin Xiaokai became a little suspicious when Kara called him like this, wondering if it was his own illusion.

"Let's go and have a look!" Kara quickly flew up without hesitation, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"This guy is running too fast!" Jin Xiaokai smiled wryly, and had no choice but to lead Cheng Xue to chase after him.

"Are you really not wrong? If anyone can persist for tens of thousands of years... that would be terrible." Cheng Xue was also a little unbelievable.

"I don't know, I just feel some mental fluctuations, maybe it's a little mouse or something." Jin Xiaokai said, but his mental power continued to search the surroundings.However, he could clearly feel that the amplitude of those fluctuations far exceeded that of small animals, and they looked like humans no matter how they looked.

The two flew up for a while, only to find that there was a large damaged hole in the top, leading to the outside.After passing through the big hole, Jin Xiaokai finally saw what he felt—it turned out to be a dozen or so humans wrapped in crystals!Kara was flying back and forth on those spars at this time, not knowing what she was doing.

"A living person! Someone is really alive!" Jin Xiaokai was very surprised, looked around, and found that this place was different from the huge circular space below, it was just a small room with several circular spaces on the top. There are more than a dozen spars scattered on the ground, each of which imprisoned a human being.However, most of the humans inside have already lost their lives, and the rest are extremely weak, as if they might die at any time.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay." Kara flew back with a smile, and said, "These are not ancient humans, but the ones thrown in in the last ten years."

"Recently?" Jin Xiaokai was a little surprised, and took a closer look. Sure enough, he felt that the clothes of the humans imprisoned inside were very similar to those of Shendu. "No, if they were thrown in recently, why would some of them die? Didn't you say that this way of imprisoning them with crystals can prolong their lifespan?"

"Look at the expressions of these people. Some are in extreme pain, and some even have wounds on their bodies... Obviously, they should have been severely injured before being sealed in the spar." Kara pointed at the humans in the spar with her wings. Then he said: "How can such a person survive for too long? Is it normal to die?"

"Who are they..." Jin Xiaokai took a closer look, but he couldn't see anything.Those who are still alive have extremely weak strength, and there is only a trace of Yuanli to maintain their body functions, which may collapse at any time.

"You can't see it this way, do you want to let them out and ask?" Cheng Xue asked with her head tilted.

"Well, what if they are bad people?" Jin Xiaokai hesitated.

"That's hard to say. There may be risks in doing anything anyway. But we don't have to be afraid. If they are really bad people, they must be very weak when they first come out. We can kill them at the worst." Cheng Xue said these When she spoke harshly, she acted as if nothing had happened, but she had the air of a mafia elder sister.

"Yeah, okay." Jin Xiao started sweating, not daring to offend this young lady.

It is very simple to open these crystals, just insert the crystals into those crystals.Jin Xiaokai only found two people who were still alive and was going to release them.Before letting them out, Jin Xiaokai sized them up carefully. One of the two was an old man with white beard and hair, with a solemn face, wearing a purple robe embroidered with gold patterns, who seemed to be of high status The other is a slender boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair and delicate skin, like a weak girl, and wearing a very gorgeous robe.

No matter how Jin Xiaokai looked at it, he couldn't connect these two people with the word "prisoner"—even if they were really prisoners, they were probably political prisoners.As for "heinous crime" or possessing tyrannical power, these two people are unlikely.

"This is obviously just a child, and that is an old man... Seal the old man and the child in crystals and throw them here. If we hadn't seen them, I'm afraid they would have been sealed until they died, right?" Cheng Xue felt aggrieved , full of sympathy.
