Beast Throne

Chapter 448 Black Crystal

There is no day and night in the underground world, which means that there is no concept of time.
This different world has never been divided into 24 hours. They are more used to judging the time by looking at the positions of the sun, moon and stars. This is also because the environment of the different continent is well protected and the sky is very clear.

When you go underground, you can't see the positions of the stars in the sky, so naturally you can't judge how much time has passed.

I don't know how long it has passed, Opella has been sleeping very hard, but her black cat will look up from time to time, still retaining the wild habit of a monster.However, it lost half of its shadow, and its spirit was obviously much worse. Every time it woke up, it almost just twisted its neck, and then went back to sleep.

Finally, when Wu Tong felt that almost one night had passed, in the abnormally bright rock cave illuminated by flames, a small black shadow returned from the passage it disappeared from, and quickly returned to the sleeping Opera Under the body.

The latter immediately woke up from his sleep, as if frightened, a wild cat turned over with a whoosh, stood up instantly, and looked around vigilantly.But after seeing Wu Tong and Mu Xing again, Opella realized what she was doing, and rubbed her head in embarrassment.

"To be frightened by my own magic, princess, you are considered a talent." Even Mu Xing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth at Opella's reaction, and Wu Tong naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to hit her.

"Hey, it's the first time I use it, and I didn't know that it would be like this when the shadow came back." Opera laughed dryly, holding her black cat and kneading it for a while.

"Now you should explain it. What is the effect of your Split Shadow Technique? We and Mu Xing haven't figured it out yet. We can't just go to any place when the time comes, right?" Wu Tong asked. .

"Hmph, I'm not as bad as you." Opella replied unconvinced: "Shadow splitting is to separate your own shadows, and they will automatically find a way to move forward. Our desert country has relatively large wind and sand, and there are Sometimes the caravan will get lost due to wind and sand, and it will be very dangerous without water. Generally, there will be a priest in temples everywhere to learn the split image technique to find lost people."

"Oh, it's actually used for people's livelihood. Your temple must be very popular." Wu Tong praised that he could invent a special magic for finding people. For those who lost their way, this split image technique can really help It's called magic.

"That's natural. The priests in our temple are very popular." Opera's tail cocked immediately. She forgot that she didn't want to be a respected saint and had to run away from home.

"You use the split image technique to find dark elves? Can it also distinguish races? What if you encounter those cavemen or other unknown creatures?"

"Hmph, you don't understand this. After the shadow goes out and moves forward, it needs to consume the energy taken away from me. The shadows I split carry the same amount of energy. And the split shadows also have the same energy. It will absorb the aura of shadows, and the thicker the aura of shadows in the environment, the longer the shadows will exist. Therefore, the places where the shadows come back at the end are naturally the places where the aura of shadows is relatively strong. We can just wait. gone."

After Opella's explanation, her method is indeed a good one.Although what he found was not necessarily the residence of the dark elves, he couldn't think of any other way.

It was another long wait, and the shadows split by Opera came back one by one.Her black cat quickly gathered its own shadow, and her spirit would soon return to normal.But Opera's shadow was much slower, and it took a while for one shadow to return.

However, her image splitting technique is really amazing. Those shadows can't be seen in the dark, and they move very fast. If it weren't for Wu Tong to illuminate the surroundings very brightly, apart from Opera, Wu Tong and Evening Star would not even know that a shadow had returned.

"There are not many left, should we make some marks?" Most of Opera's shadow has returned, leaving only the part above the shoulders. Looking at the shadow alone, it looks like a headless horseman.

"Of course!" Wu Tong took out a short knife and made a mark on the passageway where the last shadow returned.

When the last shadow returned, Wu Tong counted and made seven marks in total.Although the order in which the shadows came back can be judged based on the numbers, Wu Tong still has some headaches. Even this fast-moving shadow has been gone for so long, which shows that this underground world is really big enough. If you look for it from the back to the front If not, it will waste a lot of time if you find the wrong one.

"Should we start searching from this hole?" After the shadow completely returned, Opera sat on the ground and adjusted, then pointed to the last passage and asked.

"Not necessarily. Although the shadow of this passage came back last, it also shows that it has traveled a very long distance. I don't think the dark elves will travel such a long distance. Let's... just start from this No. [-] passage, At least it's relatively close." Wu Tong said after a little thought.

"Speak out what you think, I'm not a military adviser, I'd rather be a thug." After finishing speaking, Wu Tong added another sentence.

But it's a pity that both Mu Xing and Opella are intellectual heroes, the three of them discussed and discussed, and finally decided to follow Wu Tong's method.After all, if you make a mistake, you can put the blame on Wu Tong...

Thus, three people and one cat started a long journey.

The speed of the shadow is very fast, but if the three of Wu Tong can let go of their hands and feet, they may not be slower than the shadow, or even faster.But this is the underground world, and stalagmites of all sizes are everywhere along the way, and the speed of the three of them still can't add up.And some places were so narrow that the three of them had to stop several times, and then one by one passed through narrow caves like dog holes.

Even Opella's complacency disappeared without a trace, because some places were obviously not passable by the figure of an elf, and her split image technique really had an unexpected effect.

However, Wu Tong and Mu Xing didn't say anything. After all, this was the decision of the three of them, and Opella couldn't be blamed.But after Wu Tong used violence to blow up a hole that only Opera's black cat could pass through, the three of them still couldn't help showing disappointment.

Although the space inside is not too small, it is a dead end, and there is no way to move forward.

"Uh, don't you think we're amazing? We must be the first people to arrive at this place." Wu Tong smiled helplessly. Judging from the entrance of the cave, it seems that no creature has ever been here.

After Wu Tong made such a joke, Mu Xing and Opera's mood improved slightly.Wu Tong took the opportunity to observe the surrounding environment. The place is not too big, it is only a few hundred square meters, and there are no purple crystals outside. It is pitch black without a trace of light.

But when Wu Tong fired sparks to light up the space, the three of them were all surprised from ear to ear.This small space is full of black crystals, everywhere on the floor, walls and ceiling.None of the three had ever seen such a beautiful black crystal. Their surface was as smooth as a mirror. Although there was only a small fireball lighting it, under the reflection of the crystal, the space immediately became a colorful world.

"These, these are all formed of pure shadow elements, my God!" Opera was a little incoherent, "It is almost impossible for shadow elements to be condensed, I can't figure out why there are so many black elements here. Shadow crystal, even our temple only has a very small piece of black crystal." Opera made a gesture, which was about the same as an egg.

"Your temple also has this thing?" Wu Tong knows that his understanding of crystals is different from that of people on this continent, but he also knows that naturally formed crystals are all single-line element condensates, even if they are small A piece of it also contains a lot of energy, and it is the favorite thing for practitioners of all departments.

The crystal is different from the magic core. After the magic core of the monster is used up, it cannot be replenished. As long as the energy in the crystal is not drained, it will automatically absorb the surrounding magic elements. Therefore, after the Storm Thunder Eagle got a piece of the storm crystal, it could not be replenished. Ability to increase greatly.

"It's very small, and it doesn't look as beautiful as the black crystal here. It was forcibly condensed by a high priest of our temple for a long time, and he also consumed too much energy for this reason, so he died earlier. "Opera touched those black crystals excitedly as she spoke, as if trying to get a small piece off, but all failed.On the contrary, her black cat was more flexible. After bouncing around for a while, it came back with a small piece of crystal in its mouth and handed it to Opera.

"Wahhaha, I must take this back and show them. Maybe my grandmother will bring people here to dig up these crystals." Opella hugged the crystal and kissed again and again. As obsessed with the shiny stuff as some girls are, she prefers to take it home and surprise her grandma.

"Okay, now it's a blind cat and a dead mouse, and it's rewarding. Take a break, let's move on to the next one." Opera Star Peak is terrible, Wu Tong and Mu Xing can only accommodate first she.However, encountering such a large number of black crystals is really a miracle, and it is understandable that Opera would get carried away.

However, it wasn't long before Opella was excited when she heard the princess screaming loudly: "No, no, there is something wrong with this crystal."

"What's the problem?" Neither Wu Tong nor Mu Xing knew much about the crystal.

"This is not completely formed by the shadow breath, there are other things in it, no wonder, no wonder there are so many crystals." Opera's face was depressed, unable to hide her disappointment, "If I take this back, grandma would kill me laughing."

"No way, even if there are impurities, they are still black crystals, and there are so many of them, enough for you to treasure." Wu Tong felt that Opera was a bit picky.

"No, you don't understand, this kind of crystal, if you use it, will kill you!" Opera said solemnly, her expression was definitely not a joke.
