An Infinite Journey From the Sea of ​​Stones

The singing that lingered in the crystal turned into a scream, and a shellman named Skarner who woke up because of this almost killed the explorers of the Philos family, but they still took away many of the original Heike. Crystal.

This is the original hex crystal.

In essence, the original Hex crystals are fundamentally different from all other later Hex crystals. The batch of Hex crystals won by the ancestors of the Philos family, except for those distributed to a very few people All but the collectibles went down with Zaun on 'Evolution Day'.

The explosion that day destroyed the crust of the entire lower city, and also buried all the precious original Hex crystals placed by the Philos family.In the sinking city, these wrapped crystals also disappeared with the change of the earth's crust and sank into the ground.

But after that, members of the Philos family discovered that similar crystals still appeared in the underground mines in Zaun.

Those hex crystals are not the original crystals, but it is like assimilating the minerals in the ground to finally create a new mineral. The originally cheap ore has become a hex crystal!

Thus, the Philos family started the first generation of Hex Technology.

This is why the Madam Piltover did not send their mineral mining forces anywhere other than Zaun, because only Zaun's underground, the minerals 'polluted' by the hex crystals that sank into the earth's crust Only then will the precious Hex Crystal be born!

Of course, this group of greedy businessmen has another choice, which is to venture into the Crystal Scar again, and dig out the original crystals from the shell people again.

But this approach is obviously extremely stupid. The power of the shell people who coexisted with the original Hex crystal is unimaginable to ordinary people. This race has been worshiped as gods by humans in the years before the War of Runes!

To put it bluntly, as long as Skarner has only one shellman, the entire Piltover can be easily destroyed, turning the entire city into a terrifying "Crystal Land"

This is why the Philos family never dared to go to the Crystal Scar to mine a second crystal. There is only one luck, and the second failure will not ruin the lives of a group of people. Maybe it will be the entire Piltover Come and bury them!

The original Hex Crystal was such a precious treasure, the only known remaining part of the entire Piltover was the one held by Heimerdinger.

This was a gift from the patriarch of the Philos family to the founder of Piltover, but this gift was shelved by Heimerdinger who knew all the secrets!

Yunjuan didn't know why he didn't try to destroy the crystal or hide it somewhere, but chose to keep it in his laboratory——

In fact, even without Yunjuan, this original Hex crystal would not survive at all.

If the original history is carried forward, this gem will eventually fall into the hands of Jess, and Victor will steal him from Jess and take him to the downtown in order to heal the patients who are dying of poisoning in the lower city.

The crystal would then be smashed to pieces by the reckless Jace with his Mercury Hammer, part of which would become Ike's Z-Drive, an incredible creation that travels through time!

If it is said that the thing that makes Yunjuan most curious and greedy in the two cities, then without a doubt, it is naturally this original crystal.

But when Victor presented it to Yunjuan as a gift, he was very satisfied.

"It seems that you have made your own choice." Yunjuan took the azure prismatic crystal, held it in his hand, and said with a light smile

"Do you know what kind of treasure you gave me?"

"The original hex crystal... I only heard that it is the crystal with the highest concentration of magic." Victor said softly

"No, no, it's obvious that your mentor has lied to you, Victor. This crystal is not as simple as that."

Yun Juan gently placed the crystal on the table, and smiled at Lux who poked his head out from the side and was full of curiosity.

"Do you want to try it? Enter your magic power to activate this crystal."

Lak started to do it without the slightest hesitation. With the injection of magic power, the azure crystal shone brighter, and a voice echoed in the room.

It was a gentle and pleasant singing voice, it did not vibrate any sound through the air, but it was 'heard' by everyone in the room at this moment.

This sound does not enter the brain through the ears, it is a resonance, a special connection.

It's a deeper connection to the world, like a constant hum that resonates with every level of people's nature, and whoever hears it, Lux, Victor, Ahri, reveals A fascinated expression of indulging.

Seeing this, Yunjuan unceremoniously stuck his finger on the crystal.

In an instant, the singing turned into a scream, as if it was a frantic whisper and howling cry!In an instant, the faces of all the people with intoxicated expressions were replaced by pain, and the most intoxicated Lacus glared at Yunjuan!

"Don't indulge in this kind of singing, it is not a good thing for you."

Yun Juan picked up the crystal with a chuckle, and pointed to the stone table below. Victor followed his gaze and immediately exclaimed

"Hex crystal?!"

Yes, the part of the stone table touched by the original Hex crystal has already crystallized. Although there is only a layer floating on the surface, the azure blue color and the magical energy surging along the surface , without a doubt, this is the Hex Crystal!

"The crystals you excavated and used are essentially formed from the minerals irradiated by this original crystal."

Yunjuan played with this transparent crystal, listened to the singing, and smiled playfully

"There are singing voices in the crystal, can you understand the meaning of this sentence?"

Lacus and Victor were both at a loss, but Ahri understood what Yunjuan was talking about almost instantly, and immediately looked at him in horror

"Could it be that this crystal...is alive?!"

"Correct answer! This may be the smartest time you have ever done!" Yunjuan smiled and patted Ahri on the head, picking up the crystal to play with

"There is no need to elaborate on the origin and story of the crystal, but the essence of this crystal can be said to be a kind of consciousness split-a certain huge consciousness has separated a part of itself, and the spare consciousness and memory have been cut into it. Separated at last."

The shell people got "immortality" because of these crystals. Rather than saying that the scorpion Skarner is his body, it is better to say that the crystals on his body are his body!

The consciousness of each Shellman after death will be automatically backed up and uploaded to the crystal, and these consciousnesses will also converge into a part of the more complex consciousness body in the crystal. The quality of that 'main body' will probably increase accordingly.

Then the question comes, what is the essence, what is the essence that composes these singing crystals?

The answer——Yunjuan didn't know, and he wasn't omnipotent, but when he got the crystal, he saw the essence of the 'song' surging in the crystal through his left eye.

"Then this thing...is it dangerous?" Lux asked suspiciously, thinking that there might be one or even multiple consciousnesses and souls in this crystal, she felt instinctively disgusted!

"Never trust something that you can't see your brain but can think for yourself." Yunjuan said leisurely

"But fortunately, the degree of damage to this crystal makes it not so dangerous. It is now just an original crystal, a copy of a part of the 'thing' below the crystal scar."

"Also, haven't you always wondered what this crystal can do?"

Yun Juan suddenly turned his head to look at Victor, and said with a playful smile

"Try it, drop your blood on it, and you will see the essence of a part of this crystal..."

Without any hesitation, Victor picked up the table knife and cut his finger open. The scarlet blood dripping from the wound splashed on the crystal. In an instant, the crystal seemed to be activated!

No, it's not being activated, but entering a certain state of stress!The crystal suddenly emitted a dazzling ray, and the next moment, under the radiance of that ray, all the plants in the entire room became crazily active!

The plant placed on the potted plant beside the bed swelled dozens of times its size at a speed almost mutated, breaking the flower pot in an instant and even obviously changing the gene of this green plant!

The wildly lush flowers spread at an almost expansive speed, and this light obviously affected not only the plants, but also all the life in the room—or organic matter!

Victor looked at his hands in amazement. Under the radiance, he felt that his body, which seemed to be in pain anytime and anywhere, was relieved a lot!

And Lux ​​also felt the strange agitation of the magic power in his body, Ahri annoyed raised a stream of fox fire to resist the light, and Yunjuan, he just watched the light of life evolution quietly.

"It has the power to stimulate the growth of organic matter!!!" Victor rushed over frantically, he grabbed the crystal, and as the contact area between the blood and the crystal increased, the light became more and more luxuriant.

"I suggest you let go." Yunjuan said softly

But Victor didn't want to let go, because this was the only hope he saw that he could grasp to survive!He was almost immersed in this radiance, immersed in the radiance that made his body feel healthy——

In an instant, the ever-growing plant suddenly withered and withered, as if it had been sprayed with highly toxic pesticides!

And the crystal in Victor's hand also fell suddenly, and he spit out a lot of blood in one gulp, and lay down on the ground, his whole body in excruciating pain!

"Don't listen to the old man's words." Yun Juan said leisurely

40. Crystal Truth

Victor is a very useful talent. He is an out-and-out genius in the field of research. It may be difficult to judge the person with the highest IQ in the Shuangcheng, but Victor must be among the top three.

If it is said that Jace created the idea and procedure of artificial hex crystals, then Victor is the one who has perfected his field deeply.And not only that, he also relied on the technology of artificial Hex crystals to go back to the source, and finally created a masterpiece like the Hex core!

Integrating the form of the simple Hex crystal, endowing the crystal with higher power and a complete energy supply circuit, Victor's skills are at the pinnacle in this respect!

So no matter what, Yunjuan will definitely save Victor's life.

Yunjuan needs the Hex Core, or what he needs is the most precious original Hex Core, which is related to one of his more important plans.

But at this stage, he will still give this crystal to Victor for safekeeping.

He needs this crystal. Geniuses also need materials to study advanced technology. Anyway, Yunjuan believes that Victor will not and cannot afford to own this precious collection.

Accompanied by the warm light of Yunjuan's right hand, Victor, who coughed heavily, managed to recover with difficulty.Seeing that he regained his vitality, Yunjuan put his hand away and said softly

"I can only go so far. I can make your physical condition better, but I can't cure your disease. Even the more I 'treat' you, your disease will only get worse."

Yunjuan is not lying, his 'Endless Life' can indeed achieve the purpose of curing diseases and saving lives within a controllable range, but Victor's problem is not what he lacks, but what he has more.

There are many lesions and even cancers in the internal organs. The body poisoned by the waste of Hex crystals since childhood can be said to be terminally ill. Yunjuan can heal his damaged internal organs, and at the same time, it can make his diseased body tissues spread more seriously.

It is conservatively estimated that his original lifespan may be less than half a year, and with Yunjuan's help, he can extend his life for another year. After that, even if he is alive, he will just stay on the hospital bed and wait for death.

Or to put it another way... Yunjuan can turn his half-year lingering life into a short month of essence blooming, using the removal of diseased parts and the activation of division designated cells to keep him in the best condition.

"Why is that?"

Victor looked at the azure gem in the pool of blood, and asked in despair

"Because this crystal is full of repulsion to organic life." Yunjuan tilted his head and said

"Haven't you always discovered that the use of hex crystals will lead to the withering and decay of the surrounding natural environment? Victor, you live in Zaun, don't you have the most say?"

Viktor was silent, of course, life in Zaun was terrible almost from the time he and even his grandparents were born.

But if it was just a simple geological catastrophe, how could it become like this?

The excretion and accumulation of hex crystal waste and the excavation of deep crystal veins are the biggest reasons why the natural environment around Zaun has almost turned into a wasteland after radiation!

"Magic will unconsciously extract the energy in nature, and the power derived from this crystal is even more extreme in this respect."

Yunjuan picked up the crystal and said softly

"Remember the stories I told? The shell people in those stories, do you really think they are still life?"

"They rely on the crystal to reincarnate. It can be said that the crystal is the body of the shell people. Even so, the life "parasitic" by them will transform from organic matter to inorganic matter in a very short period of time."

"Because this thing naturally rejects organic life."

He placed the azure crystal in the center of the table, and said softly

"What a great magical entity, he enlightens ignorant life with wisdom, and gives them perfect and infinite life. However, how weak is a flesh and blood body, life that accumulates toxins when drinking oxygen, and cell division cannot An endless body cannot live forever."

"The gift of crystals cannot be borne by flesh and blood, so the shell people who parasitize them will become an almost stone-like elemental life in a very short period of time. For human beings, weak life can't even survive its natural transformation."

Yunjuan shouldn't be too familiar with this trick.

The first time the hex crystal burst into light, Yunjuan saw that the light of this crystal was almost the same as his 'endless' brilliance.

They can all heal the body quickly, but in essence, this is to accelerate cell division, and in order to achieve immortality, it will also catalyze the activation of the magic power of life and the accelerated transformation of cells within the enveloping range.

Either of these two things is fatal to a normal life.

Man is a precise but fragile instrument, and many seemingly beautiful "beautiful" changes often lead to the direct collapse of the whole human body.

The human body seems to be a program that can run normally. You think those BUGs can be modified, but when you think that fixing a BUG can make the program run better, suddenly hundreds of large-scale BUGs appear in the blink of an eye. Your program can't even run.

The activation of magic power is even more terrible. For spellcasters, it is a stable equation that they can use mild magic to transform into actual reality, and the sudden activation of magic power will most likely blow up the human body into a mess.

Therefore, none of the shell people has a flesh and blood body, and all of them are "crystal life", and this is especially true for humans.

"Is this thing so dangerous?!"

Lacus was so scared that she almost jumped up. After being educated by Yunjuan, she only felt uncomfortable after being photographed for a while!

"No, no, the dangerous thing is only the transformation process of its 'host' instinct. In fact, it can also enlighten the host's wisdom, right? Moreover, he can store soul and consciousness. For its host, death is just A kind of 'upload'."

"That's why there are always some people in this city who don't have to install a hex augmentation body with their good bodies. After being immersed in such radiation for a long time, they will also feel that steel is far more comfortable than a mortal body. .”

Yunjuan threw the crystal up and down, and Victor's eyes on it gradually became firmer, especially after Yunjuan's words!

"If flesh and blood can't accommodate such kindness...then just don't use it!"

Victor's voice was extremely hoarse, and his expression became extremely fierce.

Yun Juan laughed for granted, as if he had foreseen it long ago.He threw the crystal to Victor, and at the same time released him again!

"I have accelerated the natural division of your body cells, and your need for food intake and energy will increase greatly, but at the same time, your vitality will also be healthier than ever!" Yunjuan said with a smile

"But it will only last for a month. If you can't do what you want to do, you will die miserably because the cells and tissues of your body go berserk!"

"Enough!" Victor held onto the gem tightly, his eyes firm and resolute

"One month is enough!!!"

Yunjuan waved his hand with a smile and sent Victor out.Ahri wagged his tail, looking at Yunjuan with a slightly disdainful gaze.

Although I don't understand what this bad embryo is planning, it will definitely not be a good thing!

"Mr. Victor is so pitiful..." Lux shook her head with emotion, she was full of pity, but healthy people would never understand Victor's pain.

"You should take pity on yourself first." Yun Juan Youyou took out a freshly made staff and threw it over, tilting his head and saying
