Chen Rui slowly opened his eyes, only to feel a little drowsy in his head, as if he had overslept. What jumped into his eyes was a cluster of luminous stones on the top of the cave, like a magic lamp, emitting a soft light. There seemed to be quite a few more.
Groffin, God Mask, Star Devourer... These seem to be a dream, right! Athena!
He woke up suddenly and stood up, and the people around him were startled, and they all gathered around, including Tim, Sog and a few tauren.
Chen Rui looked at everyone's vigilance, and blurted out, "Where's Athena?"
Tim breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to the crowd, signaled not to worry, and said, "It's a miracle! You really weren't controlled by the mask! Otherwise, the first sentence wouldn't be to Miss Athena."
"Tell me quickly, how is she?" Chen Rui stood up anxiously.
"Miss Athena's life is not in danger, she's just been in a deep sleep and hasn't woken up yet." Tim's words made Chen Rui feel relieved, and learned from Tim that not only Athena, but Diudiu also fell into a deep sleep , most likely the result of digesting the ghost fly. In the battle with Grofin, Queen Medusa died, and Liao Sha took over the position of her mother to continue to lead the Medusa tribe. Liao Sha originally had the power of a demon king, but because of her pregnancy, her strength regressed. At present, the Medusa tribe is still considered Stablize.
"This time you saved the entire underground world. Without you, we would all die. It's a pity that the Queen and Lusha..."
Speaking of Lusha, Tim's voice was a little choked, and Chen Rui patted him on the shoulder: "Everything is over, Tim, you still have Liaosha, and the unborn child, you must be strong."
Tim nodded. At this moment, Chen Rui felt something strange on his face. It was a mask, and for some reason, he couldn't take it off. He exclaimed, "Tim, the mask on my face..."
"That's right, it's the God-eating mask. We tried many methods, but we couldn't take it off. Everyone has been worried that you will be controlled by Groffin. Fortunately, the earth elemental king told us that it should be you who defeated Groffin with magical power. You were controlled by Groffin before." All the earth elementals regained their sobriety, and the magic flies were automatically destroyed."
Chen Rui nodded. He vaguely remembered that Groffin's will had been completely swallowed by the black hole before he lost consciousness, but he didn't know how to get off the God-eating mask.
Soge, an elite earth elemental man, came over, crossed his hands suddenly, and knelt down on one knee: "Chen Rui, I tried to kill you when you put on the mask, please forgive my recklessness and ignorance."
After Chen Rui asked about the situation at the time, he helped Sog up: "Your behavior at the time was normal. Now we are all safe, and this is the most important thing. We are all friends, so don't worry about the past."
Soge nodded excitedly. At this time, the tauren leader Delong and Torrei and others rushed to Chen Rui after hearing the news. When they saw the mask on his face, they were slightly taken aback, and then beat their chest vigorously: "Friend! You finally woke up!"
"Delong, my friend!" Chen Rui also beat his chest vigorously, and then greeted Tuo Lei and others.
"Is Athena still awake? I want to go see her."
Delong nodded and said, "She is in the palace of the earth elemental man, and the earth elemental king is using some kind of power to protect her. Let's go together."
"Power protection?" Chen Rui was taken aback. He clearly remembered that after Athena burned out her life, he was fed the newly exchanged resurrection potion and life-extending potion in time. The resurrection potion is the highest achievement of a potion master. After death at the end of life, if the body is intact, it can be brought back to life within 24 hours; and the life-extending potion can just make up for the life-span problem that may be caused by burning life, but why hasn't Athena woke up yet
Chen Rui was anxious and walked out of the cave. In the tauren's lair, the royal court of the earth was still in place. Chen Rui walked into the palace quickly, and saw Athena's body lying on a stone platform, her body glowing faintly. There were several earth elemental men sitting beside the stone platform, and one of them was covered in natural armor, which was the earth elemental king.
As soon as Chen Rui walked into the royal court, the earth element king felt it. He crossed his hands and bowed to him: "Your Excellency Chen Rui, on behalf of all the earth element people, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you, and the earth element people will always remember your gratitude." grace."
The earth elemental king has a special inheritance and can easily speak the lingua franca of the demon world. Facing the courtesy of this demon emperor-level powerhouse, Chen Rui dared not neglect and hurriedly returned the courtesy. The earth elemental king sized him up for a while, then nodded: "As expected, that person's aura has completely disappeared. What I want to ask is, how did you eliminate him?"
Chen Rui euphemistically explained that Grofen was swallowed by a natural ability in his body by accident.
The earth element king pondered: "You have incredible abilities, but the consciousness of the devil emperor level is not so simple, it may bring some special influence to you, you need to surpass yourself in continuous practice, until you step on the strong pinnacle."
Chen Rui's heart was on Athena, and he didn't pay much attention to it. He said, "My lord, thank you for your reminder. May I ask what's wrong with my companion? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
On the stone platform, Athena was lying quietly, her chest undulating evenly and slightly, her beautiful face was extraordinarily serene, like a sleeping baby.
The earth elemental king replied: "She has just advanced to the demon king level. Without adapting to the new power, she has overdrawn her entire life in battle. Fortunately, she has regained her vitality under the action of a special potion. It is only because of the relationship beyond the limit that induced Some kind of mutation, this sleep is estimated to take a long time. After waking up, her strength will get a new leap. It's just that this mutation is quite dangerous, and there is a certain chance that it will cause the loss of all power or even endanger her life .”
Mutation? Could it be the medicinal power of the devil fruit? Or is it the inheritance of mutant blood? Chen Rui frowned tightly. This should be a great opportunity, but how can Athena survive the accompanying danger safely? Although he has been able to redeem the resurrection potion after completing the three-star evolution, but the resurrection potion can only be used once for the same person, so he must think of a way!
I only heard the earth element king continue to say: "Unfortunately, my elemental heart has been shattered, and there are only four days left in my life. Otherwise, under the protection of my power of the earth, I can guarantee that her life will not be in danger."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Your Highness, I have the most advanced resurrection potion. I wonder if it can restore the heart of the element?"
The earth elemental king has lived underground for an unknown number of years. Although he has the inherited knowledge of the elements, he still has no information about the outside world, but Tim is different. He had heard the name of the resurrection potion from Grofen before, but he didn't pay attention to it when the situation was urgent. Now that Chen Rui confirmed it, his heart was shocked. Tim naturally knew what the black potion represented, what the resurrection potion represented, and how much impact the appearance of this potion would have on the devil world. He looked at Chen Rui with obvious awe.
The earth elemental king shook his head: "Elemental people are formed by the condensation of elements in nature. Unlike ordinary demon creatures, they cannot use the power of potions. Although the resurrection potion represents the highest level of potion achievement, it still cannot make the broken elements The heart is restored."
"How can the heart of the element be repaired?"
The Earth Elemental King replied: "The fountain of life you collected is one of the conditions. If the fountain of life can continue to exert its original vitality, coupled with the source of the earth and the fruit of requiem, it will be able to make the broken heart of the element slowly recover."
"The fountain of life is fine, it can definitely exert its original effect. What are the source of the earth and the fruit of requiem?"
The earth elemental king said: "The source of the earth is the essence of the power of the earth, which can make the creatures of the earth grow and recover quickly, and can repair the cracks in the heart of the element. The formation of the source of the earth takes a long time. I have some here. But it’s not enough. The Requiem Fruit is a special and rare fruit with a strange soul power that gathers the dissipated souls, and its juice is the key to finally gather the heart of the elements.”
The source of the earth that can make the earth creatures grow and recover quickly? Chen Rui's heart moved, and he asked: "His Royal Highness, can you show me the source of the earth?"
The earth element king nodded, and some strange crystal fragments appeared in his hands. Chen Rui took one and looked at it, and there was a faint mist in his hand, which actually suggested that it could be transplanted. After obtaining the consent of the earth element king, he spent 10,000 spiritual energy to transfer the This crystal was transplanted into the Star Garden.
Star Garden reminder: Unknown species, each unit matures for 10 days, can mature repeatedly, and consumes 1 energy dust per day. Current Status: 2/10. That is to say, there are currently 2 units, which will increase by 1 unit every ten days, to a total of 10 units, and can be picked repeatedly. However, the earth elemental king has only four days left in his life, so it must be too late in terms of time.
"I don't know, can this energy dust replace the function of the source of the earth?" Chen Rui took out a handful of powder and asked the earth elemental king.
The King of Earth Element carefully observed the dust in his hand, with a hint of surprise in his voice: "This powder does not seem to have much power, but as an Earth Elementalist, I can feel something special about it. That wonderful The energies are somewhat similar to the source of the earth, and should be able to be used as a substitute. But their purity is too low, and their strength is not enough to meet the requirements of repairing the heart of the elements."
Hearing the last sentence, Chen Rui felt sad for a moment, the purity was too low... He suddenly remembered some reminders in the Star Garden, these dusts are just "first-level energy dust", remember that among the conditions for the upgrade of the Shu fairy, there is a "Secondary refining dust", could it be...
"In terms of purity, maybe I can think of a way!" Chen Rui said, and took out a crimson fruit the size of a goose egg, "Is this the Requiem Fruit?"
"A very strange breath..." The king of earth elements took the fruit, his eyes flashed with surprise: "Can I try it?"
"sure!"
A gap was opened in the spirit fruit, and the juice with aura gradually seeped into the hands of the earth elemental king. After a while, the earth elemental king with his eyes closed opened his eyes: "Obviously, this is not a requiem fruit."
Chen Rui felt a pang of regret. As expected, it was impossible to be lucky, and all the treasures he needed happened to be with him, and the next words of the earth elemental king made him hope again: "To completely restore the heart of the element, you must You need the requiem fruit, but your fruit has another kind of magical power. If you can provide enough high-purity energy dust and this fruit, plus the effect of the fountain of life, even though it cannot repair the heart of the element, But my life should be able to last until your companion wakes up."
Chen Rui tried his best to control his excitement, and nodded: "I'll restore the fountain of life in the tauren's lair first, and then try to improve the purity of the energy dust. As for the fruit... how much will it cost?"
"This kind of fruit is not as precious as the requiem fruit, just give me ten at a time. As an earth elementalist who is very familiar with the earth and plants, I can feel that this fruit is extremely fresh, It seems to have just been picked," the earth elemental king showed hope, "everyone has their own secrets, I won't ask, maybe you can really create miracles again. No matter whether the elemental heart can be repaired or not, you are an earth element A friend forever."
Chen Rui took out ten spiritual fruits, saluted the earth elemental king, and then left. In addition to restoring the fountain of life, he also has an important attempt to target the energy dust that needs to be carried out immediately, which is related to whether Athena can safely survive the mutation period.
Next, Chen Rui spent 100,000 spiritual energy to transplant the Fountain of Life from the Garden of Stars and place it in the original "water hole" of the Tauren's lair. Today's water hole no longer has the light yellow crystal light , and the size of the fountain of life has increased by five or six times compared to before it was brought into the Star Garden.
Seeing the cheers of the tauren people, Chen Rui smiled at Delong, without staying, went directly to the resting cave and entered the super system.
The first thing that catches the eye is the "startup screen" of the galaxy centered on the "sun", which is beautiful and peaceful. After the battle with Groffin, Chen Rui already understood that this kind of space is not just for looking good. As Groffin said, it should be a kind of spiritual realm, more precisely, a small universe in consciousness.
In this space, something is quietly floating, seemingly unaffected by the planet's gravity.
This is a mask, a god-eating mask!
But it was only the God Devouring Mask, Grofin's consciousness had completely dissipated, leaving only this one of the Seven Demonic Artifacts that was as famous as the Fallen Angel's Sword and the Shadow Cloak.
Chen Rui tried it, but he couldn't get into the storage space, nor could he devour it with "Star Devourer". Perhaps this is why the God Devouring Mask couldn't be removed from his face.
Groffin's Devil Emperor-level mental power is so powerful, even though it was devoured by Star Devourer, it cannot be "digested" for a while, so it can only be stored in this space, and will be absorbed and used for its own use step by step in the future.
Chen Rui didn't try to deal with the God-eating mask anymore. Now he had more important things to do, and when he thought about it, he had already appeared on the throne of the Star God Temple.
