After the reconnaissance, the floating city landed at the landing point in the canyon where the blood crystal mine is located. The city gate of the lower city opened, and the robot loading truck transferred the blood crystals one after another to the floating city. If the ghost country wants to develop and grow, whether it is absorbing people from the past or aborigines from the dark world of death, blood crystals are an indispensable strategic resource.
Even in the future, when Xia Lei enters his own ultimate state of evolution and becomes a being like the Creator, blood crystals will still be an indispensable resource to create new life forms and civilizations. That's why he gave up his plan to go to no man's land immediately and returned to the northwest mining area.
Heini went to find her tribe in the isolated mountains. Xia Lei was not worried about her safety because Shenyue Ruyi was secretly protecting her. If Heini can convince her people to join the Ghost Kingdom, then the black winged people with the ability to fly will become a powerful and important force in the Ghost Kingdom.
The think tank Amido also came out of the floating city, and an engineer robot was reporting to it on the mining situation in the mining area.
"Currently, the mineral reserves of this blood crystal mine have been mined to a level of 93.8925%. The high-quality blood crystal mine has almost been mined out. What is left are only some low-quality and difficult-to-use blood crystal mines. Blood crystal mines. Some require blasting the mountain, and some require deep excavation. If they are all mined, I estimate it will take a few days." The engineer robot making the report is the commander of the miner army. It and other engineers There is nothing different about the robot, it just has more related programs.
"Understood, continue to transfer the blood crystal mine. The decision of whether to mine or not needs to be made by the owner." Think tank Amido said.
The leader of the miner army left and continued to execute the order to transfer the blood crystals.
Think tank Amido came to Xia Lei and briefly explained the situation.
Xia Lei gave the order directly without thinking, "Abandon mining and all engineer robots evacuate the mine. The soldiers stationed in the mining area also retreated and entered the floating city."
These two instructions were executed quickly. A large number of mining engineer robots evacuated from the mines, and the night watchmen stationed in the mining areas also began to pack up and salute, and entered the floating city one after another under the leadership of Xue He.
The entire mining area is a busy scene, and it won't be long before it turns into a deserted canyon. Princess Yongye and Dialuo may come here, but apart from a dead canyon, Princess Yongye and Dialuo will get nothing.
"Has 93.8925% been mined?" While waiting for Heini's return, Xia Lei suddenly remembered the content of the report from the commander of the miner army, and thought to himself, "It can't be another piece of mine." Go and count the unmined blood crystal mines together, right? It doesn't have the ability to see through, and even it can't accurately count the blood crystal mines hidden in rocks and soil, but its report is accurate. The ten-thousandth place of the fourth digit after the decimal point... By the way, this is not a number, but an accurate calculation based on the detected energy reserve. There are still nearly seven percent blood crystals in this blood crystal mine. Reserves, are there any higher-level blood crystal mines?"
In his heart, he had actually always had high hopes for this blood crystal mine. When Master Xueyue led an army of 200,000 to prevent Nightingale from occupying this blood crystal mine, he once said that this blood crystal mine was the best quality among all known blood crystal mines. Later, after learning about the existence of rune blood crystal, he always hoped that this blood crystal mine could dig out a rune blood crystal. But until now, this blood crystal mine has not dug up a single rune blood crystal, which has become a regret in his heart.
Now, he is about to abandon this blood crystal mine. At this time, he still has a glimmer of hope, or fantasy, whether there will be a rune blood crystal in the remaining nearly 7% of the reserve.
Xia Lei walked into the mine and walked along the mine.
The robot miners have retreated, and the mine is silent. Occasionally, water droplets drip from the rocks, making a slight sound.
Xia Lei quickly arrived at the place he had been to for the first time. At that time, it was the bottom of the mine, but it is no longer the bottom. The robot miner army has mined the blood crystal mine here and dug a deep tunnel. Bottomless mine.
In fact, Xia Lei didn't see even a piece of unmined blood crystal mine along the way. Everything he walked through was mined bare.
"The remaining nearly 7% of the reserves are all in deeper places?" Xia Lei thought in his heart. He didn't know why, but he had a very strange feeling in his heart. He felt that the matter might not be as reported by the leader of the miner army, and it might be another situation.
Another even stranger situation is that the last time he sensed an extremely powerful dark energy here, it seemed to be even more powerful than Defasci. But this time, in the same place, he didn't realize it was there.
At that time, he had not even gotten rid of the suppression of the dark world of death, and still needed Yin Tieyi and the God of War armor to shield his aura, so he did not dare to have too much contact with the detection at that time. This result was only based on the situation at that time. The result of vague judgment. Now that this strange situation happened again, he was even more confused.
He walked deeper into the mine. The lighting equipment on the cave wall illuminated the road ahead and cast his shadow on the ground, dragging it very long.
As he walked, he sensed changes in his abilities and was thinking in his mind, "Was my judgment at that time wrong? There is no advanced dark energy underground? It's just because this is the place where blood crystals are produced, and it has its own energy field. , the blood crystals here are about to be mined, and the energy field that produced the blood crystals will disappear?"
After a while, Xia Lei arrived at the bottom of the mine, which was at least a kilometer away from the "bottom" where he first came. One thousand meters is nothing if it is on the ground, but it is an extremely terrifying distance in the hard rock layer. If instead of the robot miner army in the floating city, mining was done by humans, it would take at least several years to mine here!
The bottom of the mine is an oval-shaped space. It is not very big, with an area of only a few hundred square meters and a height of only a dozen meters. It slopes down to the ground and is shaped like a pocket.
Xia Lei stopped at the bottom of the "pocket". He looked at the sparse few low-quality blood crystals on the rock wall, and secretly said in his heart: "I only saw a few blood crystals here all the way here, but the Robot Engineer Corps The report given by the commander is that there are still almost 7% of the reserves. This percentage is obviously compared to the original reserves. Although it is only 7%, it is still a large value. Are all those blood crystals Buried deeper? What a coincidence?"
After much thought, Xia Lei couldn't wake up from this evil. He awakened the clairvoyance ability of his eyes and the energy perception ability to detect the back of the rock wall and the depths of the ground beneath his feet.
He did not see the existence of blood crystals.
Suddenly, the mysterious dark energy appeared again, very powerful, sleeping, and frightened him. He suddenly ended his clairvoyance and energy perception, but the sleeping dark energy still seemed to be stimulated and reacted. Suddenly there was a strange energy field in this "pocket". It was everywhere and contained him in the "pocket".
At this moment, his instinctive reaction was to leave here. But the sense of danger disappeared in an instant, replaced by a strange feeling. He felt like he was in his mother's womb. And he, in this strange energy field, is like an unborn baby!
This feeling...
Xia Lei suddenly became excited and lost his voice in surprise, "There is a rune blood crystal here!"
Different rune blood crystals have different properties of energy fields. The rune blood crystals in Lava City have the attribute of fire, which induces a volcano to erupt all year round. The rune blood crystals in Ash City have natural properties, which is why there are such forests, fertile fields, and a rich variety of animals around Ash City. But what he senses now is an energy field similar to a woman's womb, which is extremely rare. If there is really a rune blood crystal underground, with its energy intensity, it is unknown how huge it is!
"Yes, what I sensed for the first time is not some advanced intelligent dark energy, because if there is, my robot miner army is mining here. How can it not wake up? How can it tolerate the engineer robot? Mining blood crystals under its nose? I'm afraid it has already taken action! There is no high-level dark energy here, it is a rune blood crystal!" Xia Lei made a judgment in his heart and was extremely excited.
The energy field like a woman's womb slowly fades away and is recycled underneath. It feels like a trickle of water seeping into the soil.
Xia Lei released a trace of desire energy and dug it into the rocks and soil under his feet. Desire energy descended rapidly, constantly transmitting information back to the ground, and his brain constructed a corresponding picture based on the information transmitted back by that trace of desire energy.
Dirt, rock, rock dirt, and the occasional blood crystal.
One hundred meters later, the soil and rocks blocking the trace of desire energy suddenly changed and turned into a huge blood-colored rock. The oval shape is like a huge egg. The surrounding area of this egg is not ordinary soil and rocks, but a swamp as dark as ink. His brain even constructed the smell of the swamp, which was an extremely strong smell of decay. It seemed to have evolved from the decay of countless corpses!
The end of life is death, and the end of death is life.
Only in places where the aura of death is extremely strong can blood crystals that nourish life be born, and the birthplace of rune blood crystals is even more unusual!
That trace of desire energy plunged into the blood-colored rock.
boom! The energy field like a mother's womb suddenly burst out again, unprecedentedly strong. Being in it, Xia Lei even felt that every rock here was alive and just sleeping. This is obviously not a real feeling, but it is so strong!
That trace of desire energy passed back new information, and his brain also constructed a new picture. Although he had already made a judgment, he was still stunned and speechless.
Lying quietly in the blood-colored rock is a rune blood crystal. It is as round as a full moon, half blood and half black. Blood and black are like two fish connected head to tail. You have me, and I have you. The runes flicker, innately extraordinary, like a piece of natural yin and yang Tai Chi!
