My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 363 - 355 High Purity Source Crystal
Chapter 363 -355 High Purity Source Crystal
“They even kill their own; how ruthless and cold-blooded.”
The dungeon where prisoners were guarded.
Six spies had been caught, one accidentally killed by Tylon, another gravely injured, leaving the four others with lighter wounds. However, at this moment, in the dungeon, three imprisoned Awakeners with eyes wide as saucers and mouths slightly agape, wore faces of disbelief.
A few members of the Guardian Corps nearby hung their heads, overwhelmed with shame.
As Luo Zhe scolded them, their heads drooped even lower.
The spies were more ruthless than imagined, but it was also a fault of the Guardian Corps. Tang Yu had docked their pay for two weeks. As for any further punishment Luo Zhe would impose, he didn’t involve himself.
Exiting the dungeon.
Nancy had already returned, a fainted Awakener curled up like a shrimp, floating next to her.
Tang Yu sensed briefly, “There’s a Ninth Layer presence, and it has reached the Peak.”
Seeing Luo Zhe also emerging from the dungeon, Tang Yu pointed at the unconscious Awakener, “I’ll leave him to you, pry his mouth open.”
…
Luo Zhe was skilled at interrogation.
The dungeon echoed with the desperate shrieks of agony.
Tang Yu didn’t mind torture but disliked staying in such a place, thus he walked away towards the center of the pit.
The roots of a great tree interwove like a maze.
Toward the center of the hole, slightly towards the Sanctuary, there was an entrance about two to three meters in diameter, with scaffolding built around it for stability.
The entrance led underground, lit by Source Power crystal lamps, the light no worse than outside.
The slight sounds were coming from within the hole.
There was also an elevator shaft leading deep into the burrow.
This was a mine. The Crystal Ore Rough Stones exposed outside had long been mined out, and now the mining crew had to dig deeper underground, which was more demanding. Consequently, the revenue from the Source Crystal Mine was experiencing a slight decline.
Tang Yu had no plans to inspect the mining area.
Although the mine had been reinforced by ability users, it was cramped and smelled odd, and might not even be safe… Going down into the mine was out of the question. As a Lord, he only needed to send the person in charge of the mining area for occasional inspections.
Tang Yu fell into contemplation.
The person in highest charge of the Source Crystal Mine should be Tylon, but with his size and that fearsome strength… perhaps, the mine would collapse?
…
After wandering around for quite some time, it seemed that the spy was even tougher than expected, Luo Zhe still had no information to share.
Tang Yu, having nothing better to do, turned back to look at Nancy, opened his mouth, and then closed it, not knowing what to say.
Members of the Guardian Corps standing guard outside the mine had serious expressions, looking intently at other places.
Workers responsible for transporting Crystal Ore Rough Stones, together with the steward, bowed their heads in reverence.
Quite dull.
Just then,
The mine echoed with rustling sounds, the pulleys of the elevator turned, and the ropes descended, bringing the platform up.
“Steward Jiang, we’ve found several unusual Raw Crystal Stones.”
The voice came before the people.
Two survivors and a cart loaded with Rough Stones appeared in view.
They didn’t recognize Tang Yu, but from the reactions of the people around, they knew this was a figure of authority and immediately reported the details.
Without any twists.
They mined the Crystal Ore Rough Stones just like any other day, but after cracking open the waste rock, they discovered several unusual Rough Stones.
The cart was pushed to an open space not far away, all the Rough Stones were unloaded, scattered on the ground.
Ordinary Crystal Ore Rough Stones, on the surface of the stone, were marked by some faint white patterns, somewhat like rough jade, and they could emit an extremely weak light at night.
Among these ordinary faint white Rough Stones, Tang Yu saw a few ‘Special Raw Stones.’
They were no longer pale white but exhibited a red color, half of the stone was tinged with a lava-like red.
Tang Yu picked up one of them, about the size of a basketball, weighed it, and then cracked it open.
The red Rough Stone’s outer shell scattered on the ground, and among the rubble, three red Crystal Stones that were even more dazzling than diamonds appeared.
Spiritual power concentrated, took on substance, and leveraged the material.
The three small red Crystal Stones, grasped by a large spiritual power hand, hovered in front of him and fell into his hands.
Tang Yu examined them carefully.
Each was the size of a pebble, larger and more regular than ordinary Source Crystals.
Ordinary Source Crystals, like fragments of shattered crystal, came in prismatic, spiked, blunt, large and small shapes… Despite still being magnificent, they could not compare to the three fiery red crystals in front of him.
He sensed them meticulously. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Not just in appearance, the fiery red crystals contained more Source Power.
“It seems to be on par with the Source Crystals mined from the bodies of Eighth Layer Demonized Beasts, and their properties also seem somewhat different.”
The Source Power flowed through his body, passed through his palm, and probed into one of the fiery red crystals.
In an instant,
it was as if he touched flames, yet it was not scalding hot.
Tang Yu’s eyes slightly widened, suddenly becoming focused, “Extremely pure Source Power and… it has the Fire Attribute!”
The Source Power contained in Source Crystals is impure, chaotic, and without attribute.
Awakeners cannot absorb it directly or use it directly, commonly serving as energy to drive other items.
Or consumed during rune drawing, for making Source Crystal bombs, etc…
All for external use.
However, these three fiery red Source Crystals were filled with pure Fire Attribute Source Power, much like a clear lake surface compared to one littered with garbage.
They were not on the same level at all.
“Such pure Source Power can be absorbed directly, which means these three fiery red Source Crystals can be used to aid in cultivation? Best for Fire Series Ability Users, but others can use it too.”
Awakeners’ attributes are not limited.
Those who have Awakened with a fire Special Ability can also learn Ice series Spells, and likewise… Tang Yu believed that even Ice series Mages like Eileen could absorb Fire Attribute Source Power for cultivation.
But… the efficiency is low, and it’s somewhat wasteful.
Tang Yu recalled for ten seconds that among the twenty-something followers in his current Territory, there seemed to be no Fire Series Ability Users?
Oh no, that’s not right. Shay’s explosion power borders on Fire Series and is suitable for cultivating with Fire Attribute Source Crystals.
“As a Demon Swordsman, I possess fire, ice, and lightning, three common attributes, of which my Fire Series Combat Skills are the most proficient. These three Source Crystals are equally suitable for my own cultivation.”
Tang Yu unapologetically designated these three high-purity Source Crystals as his Cultivation Resources.
“Besides aiding in cultivation, high-purity Source Crystals might also be integrated into Combat Skills or Spells to enhance their power, which could also benefit the practice of Combat Skills… Hmm, these conjectures can be tried one by one in the future.”
He even felt that by increasing the input of Source Power, these three high-purity Source Crystals could be used as bombs.
The power wouldn’t be small.
He turned his head to look at the mine’s laborers and steward, “Prioritize the mining of this type of Crystal Ore Rough Stones, continue digging deeper, and from now on, separate the two types of Rough Stones. Hmm, if any other Special Raw Stones are discovered, notify me immediately.”
“You two have done well. Each will be rewarded… Hmm, a hundred Source Crystals.”
