When he first saw the red crystal, Benjamin felt something was wrong.
In this unusually wide cave hall, there is nothing but red crystals. There are no protruding stone pillars, no hanging stalactites, the ground is smooth, the ceiling is regular... Everything here has a strong artificial trace, and it is not like a naturally formed cave at all.
And that crystal happened to be placed in the center of the entire cave hall. It was placed well. It was obviously placed there deliberately.
what is this
Benjamin also knew that this was where the remains of the "Soul Flame" were located. Looking at the red crystal, it is somewhat similar to the fire element crystal, but it feels different. It is probably something left by the senior mage.
But... Michelle should have been here too.
The legacy of "Soul Flame" is something she has always been thinking about. Although Benjamin didn't know how Michelle died, her ghost also said when casting the curse that she had obtained the remains.
So what is this strange red crystal
Thinking of this, Benjamin explored around again. The strange thing is that apart from the way he came in, he didn't see any other exits from this cave hall.
Is this a dead end
No way…
After thinking about it, Benjamin felt that the problem probably still lies with the red crystal. Therefore, he first walked closer, leaned over, and took a look, but he didn't see anything special, but he suddenly felt a warm feeling in his body.
"Is it because of the fire element..." He said to himself.
It's a pity that his mental power is damaged, otherwise he can use the water element induction method to sense what is special about this red crystal.
What to do
Because of Michelle's unexpected death, Benjamin had a bad premonition. After all, a good person would never die just because he wanted to. There must be a reason.
For some reason, after arriving here, he suddenly felt that Michelle's death was related to this thing.
Therefore, he had to act more cautiously.
He circled the red crystal twice and found nothing. Then, he suddenly turned around and began to walk around the entire cave hall, observing everything possible around him through the faint fluorescence coming from above his head.
It felt like he was playing an escape room. He was imprisoned in a room for no reason, and then asked to search around here, and finally tried his best to come up with a password of several digits.
However, the escape room will at least give you some clues, and you can also know the number of the password you want to get. But right now, this cave hall is really bare. Except for the moss on the top of the head and the red crystal in the center, it is really abnormally clean.
He couldn't study the color distribution of the moss and decipher some code, could he
It took him nearly an hour to search the entire cave hall. After finding nothing, he had no choice but to return to the red crystal.
After thinking about it, he reached out and picked up the crystal.
Nothing happened.
Benjamin felt a little strange. He also thought that this crystal would have some kind of mechanism attached to it, and that the cave would collapse or open a door when he picked it up. As a result, he took the thing in his hand and tossed it left and right, but there was no movement in the entire cave hall.
"Hey, come and see if this thing is weird?" So he said to the system.
Unexpectedly, the system, which was always chatty, had no response at this moment. There was silence in Benjamin's mind, so quiet that it was a little eerie.
He suddenly felt a little scared.
what's the situation
"Are you dead? If you're not dead, come out and say something. Don't be whiny." So, he urged again in his heart.
"Warning! Warning!" Finally, the system's voice rang, but the mechanized tone was completely different from usual, "An abnormality in the fire element has been detected. Please stay away from high-risk items quickly, otherwise your life will be in danger!"
… The fire element is abnormal
Hearing this, Benjamin was stunned, and then looked at the red crystal in his hand.
To be honest, he didn't feel anything unusual just holding this thing in his hand. At most, there is a warm feeling in the body, not to mention that it is life-threatening.
However, the system said so, and out of caution, he decided to put the crystal back.
He knelt down and put the crystal back into its original position. However, the strange thing was that when he let go of his hand, the red crystal seemed to be stuck to his palm and could not be put back.
this…
Benjamin looked stunned.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that the warm feeling in his body seemed to be magnified several times, flowing rapidly in his blood vessels. Suddenly, his pale face turned red, and the blood vessels on the back of his hands burst out, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying.
Before he knew what was happening, he felt like he was about to be cooked. A strong burning sensation rose from his chest and spread throughout his body in an instant.
So hot... What's going on
"Warning! Warning! An abnormality in the fire element has been detected, please stay away quickly..." The system's voice also sounded in his mind again, becoming more urgent, repeating what he just said over and over again.
But Benjamin couldn't wait to curse.
Damn... He wants to stay away too!
Under the shock, Benjamin could only wave his right hand desperately, trying to throw the red crystal away. However, no matter how hard he tried, the crystals seemed to have grown into his flesh and could not be shaken off.
Seeing his skin getting redder and redder, like a cooked lobster, Benjamin almost got red eyes.
This, what on earth is this
However, this seems to be just the beginning. In panic, he suddenly noticed that little drops of blood were seeping out from the back of his hand.
In shock, he looked at the other hand, and the other hand did the same. Not just his hands, he wiped his face with the clothes on his shoulders, only to find that the blood drops on his face were enough to stain his clothes red.
Soon, without moving, he found that blood was pouring out from all over his body. After a while, those blood beads completely dyed his clothes and pants red - he was about to become a bloody man.
Damn...
Benjamin was scared to death.
He didn't know what was going on, but he knew very well that if he didn't do something, the blood in his body would soon drain out - he would become a mummy.
Make knitting!
He didn't want to be killed by a strange red stone and turned into a mummy.
what to do
At that moment, countless crazy thoughts flashed through his mind.
Otherwise... just cut off this hand
But, how to cut it? He doesn't have a knife at hand! Moreover, even if there is a knife, if there is nothing that can stop the bleeding, he will die of excessive bleeding after cutting off his hand.
But...without chopping off his hand, how else could he get rid of this ghost that looked like an elemental crystal but was a hundred times more dangerous than the elemental crystal
At this moment, Benjamin's intestines were about to turn green.
Hold! Why on earth would he pick this thing up!
No, no, no... Calm down, there must be another way. He had finally escaped from the church's pursuit, so how could he die silently in this ghost place
Suddenly, Benjamin seemed to be struck by lightning.
Elemental crystallization…
right! Elemental crystallization!
He suddenly remembered that he had brought the water element crystal into the consciousness space before. The thing in his hand now is very similar to element crystal. If he could bring it into his conscious space, would he be able to end this weird bleeding state
However, the exclusivity of the consciousness space is so strong...
do not care! The blood is all gone, so how can you care so much? At that moment, Benjamin's heart suddenly crossed, and he entered the state of half-stepping into the consciousness space and half-foot remaining in reality, and then directed his mental power towards the red crystal in his hand.
With a whoosh, the crystal disappeared.
Benjamin was stunned, and he couldn't believe how easy the process was. However, he could deeply feel the changes in himself - the burning sensation in his body quickly subsided, the red skin gradually returned to its original state, and there were no longer blood droplets seeping out through the pores...
Actually... it was so successful
call…
Benjamin couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
If you want to bring something into the consciousness space, the conditions are actually very harsh. He had done experiments before, and only pure elemental bodies could be brought in, and other things were ignored.
He also didn't expect that his desperate move to seek medical treatment would be successful.
Thinking like this, Benjamin stretched out his hand and wiped something on his face that he didn't know whether it was blood or sweat. He felt like he was lucky to survive the disaster.
However…
Before Benjamin could catch his breath, the system's mechanical sound sounded again.
"Warning! Warning! An abnormality in the water element has been detected. Please stay away from high-risk items quickly, otherwise your life will be in danger..."
