All conceivable methods were used, but the blood-colored stone was still lying on the ground of the Tongque Hall, as if it was a stone for a lifetime.
"My wise and invincible master, is this thing a stone?" Haofang said in the depressing atmosphere.
Invincible wisdom, this title made Xia Lei feel a little embarrassed. If he was really wise and invincible, wouldn't he be able to do anything even with a stone
"I have a plan, maybe I can open this stubborn stone." Da Qiao said.
Xia Lei's heart moved, "Madam, if you have any good ideas, tell me quickly."
Da Qiao said: "You can send craftsmen to build a furnace, and then send people to burn it every day, maybe you can melt it."
Xia Lei, "..."
This is not a good strategy at all. If even his and Shenyue Ruyi's energy cannot split this blood-colored rock, no matter what furnace it is, it will be useless. However, he also took care of Da Qiao's feelings. He smiled at Da Qiao and did not say that her method was useless.
"Your starting point is wrong." Nightingale spoke.
"Madam, what can you do?" Xia Lei's eyes moved to Nightingale again.
Nightingale said: "Husband, you have overlooked one thing, that is, the rune blood crystal has the property of absorbing energy, and that is the most basic property. The heart of the city of Ash City supports the energy shield for Ash City, any energy The supply will be absorbed. This blood-colored rock is the wall of the rune blood crystal inside, which supplies it, and of course it will protect it, so any energy-based attacks are useless."
Xia Lei suddenly woke up. On the surface, the blood-colored rock is just a shell covering the rune blood crystal. But judging from the basic properties of the rune blood crystal, isn't it the city protected by the rune blood crystal
"Then how should I open it?" Xia Lei asked.
Nightingale thought for a moment before saying: "I have never seen such rune blood crystals. Some of the rune blood crystals I know are usually embedded in the stone walls of mines or in the soil like ordinary blood crystals. There is no record of such a rune blood crystal hidden in a stone. I have to do some research before I can think of a way."
There is no record of a similar rune blood crystal. This is a trouble, but it also shows that this rune blood crystal is extraordinary.
Although Nightingale didn't give any practical solution, her words gave Xia Lei a very important revelation, and an inspiration was born at that time.
Rune Blood Crystal, isn't the most important part of it the natural energy rune? And he is a person who evolved from energy runes, and he also has natural runes on his body!
Xia Lei placed his hands on the blood-colored rock, and a trace of energy was injected into the rock. But this time he didn't have any intention of opening the rock, and his energy wasn't aggressive at all. It is peaceful, gentle, and acts as a peacemaker.
That trace of energy slowly moved forward among the blood-colored rocks, getting closer and closer to the rune blood crystal in the center of the stone egg. It was during this process that he discovered that the blood-colored rock was not simple. It was not a metal or an ordinary rock, but a crystal. Its molecular structure is very special. Its molecules are arranged like human cells. The density is not high, but it has the strength and toughness of an alloy.
Even the casing is unusual.
That trace of energy continued to approach the center of the stone egg. This time, the rune blood crystal, which was like Yin Yang Tai Chi, did not resist. It seemed very quiet. Just like when Xia Lei first perceived its existence, it was like a sleeping high-level dark energy.
Now it seems that it not only possesses advanced dark energy, it should also possess the light energy that represents life. The reason is very simple. It not only represents the black color of darkness, but also the blood color that represents life. What Xia Lei perceived and reacted to just now was only the black part of it. The part that represents life or light has not moved, or has not awakened, until now. This seems to be the reason why Xia Lei thought it was sleeping when he first sensed it.
Everything about it is shrouded in mystery and alluring.
All the women's eyes were focused on Xia Lei, no one disturbed him, and the Tongque Hall seemed very quiet.
Especially Nightingale, her eyes were full of expectation. She is an expert in the field of rune blood crystals and has considerable authority, but she has never seen such a magical rune blood crystal, and she cannot think of a way to open the shell, but she believes that Xia Lei can do it. There is no reason or need for a reason, she just believes it.
That trace of energy finally approached the rune blood crystal in the center of the stone egg, and then stopped. If it were an extension of Xia Lei's body and soul, the mysterious rune blood crystal was right in front of him, within reach. To him, the black part of the rune blood crystal represents the Yin fish, and the bloody part represents the Yang fish, and he needs to make a choice, whether to contact the Yang fish or the Yin fish
After a brief thought, the energy representing Xia Lei plunged into the bloody Yangyu. At that moment, the feeling transferred back by that trace of energy was like falling into a warm lake. The water in this lake is as smooth as amniotic fluid and nourishes life. There were also energy runes, one by one, and a group of fishes surrounded him, colliding with him, and playing with him.
Xia Lei couldn't help but recall some memories from his childhood. He and his friends were playing games in the community. He beat everyone. Jiang Ruyi ran over with an ice cream and asked him to take a bite. The sun shone on his face, and his little face was dirty, but full of a happy smile. The same smile appeared on his face at this moment, and he felt the same happy feeling in his heart...
Xia Lei shook his head vigorously, and all the memories disappeared from his brain, replaced by natural runes one after another. They were swimming like a fish in his mind, constantly changing, as if they were playing a puzzle game with him.
That trace of energy that represented him slowly swam toward the black Yin Fish. The moment he entered the black Yin Fish area, he felt like he had entered a real hell. He seemed to be in the never-ending absolute darkness, everything was dead, there was no sound, no light, and no temperature. But he could see something in the darkness. He saw the ground paved with corpses. His feet were standing on the face of a human corpse. The corpse's eyes were wide open and its mouth was open. His eyes were wide open and he looked like he would not rest in peace. The carcasses of birds were floating in the sky, one here and one there, covering the earth like dark clouds.
Fear set in, and he felt like he was dying and becoming part of the place.
This is obviously another illusion!
Xia Lei shook his head vigorously again, all hallucinations disappeared, and natural runes appeared in his mind. They swim and change in unpredictable ways. Then, blood-colored runes and black runes emerged in his mind, swimming around in disorder. He observed them, looking for patterns. His brain is now like a super hacker, cracking a powerful firewall...
"What are you doing, husband?" Cailing couldn't help but say something, which also broke the silent and tense atmosphere in the Tongque Hall.
"He was touching the rock," Haney said.
Cailing looked at Heini with a strange look, then closed her mouth. Yes, the husband is stroking the rock. She is not blind. Could she not see it? She felt that her black-winged sisters did not have many cells in their brains, but she did not say such hurtful words.
"Nightingale, have you thought of a solution?" Shenyue Ruyi asked the nightingale beside her.
Nightingale shook her head, "I haven't thought of any way, but I think it's no longer necessary. My husband should be able to open it."
No reason, just belief.
Shenyue Ruyi's lips moved, but she didn't say anything. Xia Lei's women all have mysterious confidence and mysterious admiration for him. Nightingale feels like she is a fanatical believer in a certain religion at this moment. She wants to talk to Nightingale about the God Xia she believes in and worships. There is still a need to continue the conversation.
Another long time passed.
For a moment, the blood-colored rock that Xia Lei was holding on with both hands suddenly trembled, and a piece of blood-colored and black energy burst out from the blood-colored rock.
Click!
There was a cracking sound, and the oval blood-colored rock split from it. The half-blood, half-black disc-shaped rune blood crystals were revealed. The blood-colored Yang fish released blood-colored energy light, and the black Yin fish released black energy light. It was a spectacle!
The entire Bronze Bird Palace was shrouded in these two completely different energy lights. One half was as warm as a mother's womb, nourishing life, while the other half was like a terrifying hell, cold, dark, and filled with the breath of death.
"It's so cold!" Diao Chan, who was shrouded in dark energy light, exclaimed and quickly jumped to the area shrouded in blood-colored energy light. In less than a second, a layer of frost formed on her brows and hair!
However, Nightingale, Cailing and Heini, who were in the dark energy light, did not feel any discomfort at all. They just stared at the yin and yang rune blood crystals in the cracked stone eggs with their mouths open.
Xia Lei reached out and grabbed the yin-yang rune blood crystal in the stone egg, and then picked it up. At that moment, all the blood-colored energy light disappeared, and the black energy light also disappeared. Everything that happened just now was like an illusion, but the frost on Diao Chan's brow and hair had not yet melted.
"Husband, it..." Nightingale's voice sounded. She seemed to want to ask questions about this rune blood crystal, but her brain was so weak that she lost the ability to organize questions.
A smile appeared on Xia Lei's face, "The end of life is death, and the end of death is life. Explained by the philosophy of Tao, it is yin and yang. The fusion of yin and yang makes all things come alive. Its runes are naturally formed, and half of them contain the essence of life. Half of the secrets contain the mystery of death. But I have just come into contact with it and have only scratched the surface of it, so I can’t tell you why at the moment.”
The process of analysis is actually a learning process. Once he masters the secret of the yin and yang runes and blood crystals, he will surely lead to a transformation like a phoenix's nirvana in the field of energy runes!
"My master, we have arrived at Ash City." Think Tank Amido said.
Xia Lei put away his thoughts and looked at Nightingale, "Madam, go mobilize and tell them that this is the last chance and the last retreat."
"Yes." Nightingale responded, "Turn over my sign tonight, I want to sleep with you, and you tell me about this mysterious rune blood crystal."
The eyes of the other women suddenly focused on Xia Lei. Their eyes seemed to be able to speak, and they all spoke the most mysterious and complex language in the universe. Even the Yin-Yang runes contained in the blood crystals The natural energy runes are dregs compared to them.
Xia Lei returned to reality in a second.
