Chapter 68 There Is Energy? !
In the face of Li Ming's passive eyes, the other party's thoughts have already been captured, but looking at the vortex in front of him, Li Ming is naturally extremely worried, because the high temperature in it is daunting, just like ordinary humans standing next to magma, as long as they go in, they will definitely die.
Li Ming frowned and thought, and did not immediately agree to the other party, but came to the front of the vortex and squatted down, narrowing his eyes slightly, and a beam of black light curtain shot out from Li Ming's body. This beam of black light curtain is like a small black stick. After entering the vortex, it was not swallowed by the high temperature, but penetrated the vortex, as if a black metal rod was probed into the water. Seeing this, Li Ming's mouth corners slightly raised. Of course, from this angle, Elias didn't see what Li Ming did at all, and this operation only took a few seconds. After doing this, Li Ming smiled secretly and stood up again.
This strange move made Elias look a little confused, and he didn't understand what Li Ming meant by this move.
"What? Don't you believe me?"
Elias stared at Li Ming's actions and said so.
Can't trust? More than just can't trust! I simply didn't believe it at all. Although I thought so in my heart, Li Ming didn't show any strangeness. He smiled and said, "That's not the case. You and I are both here for the Star Flame. We must cooperate with each other to be able to come here together. But... if there is only one Star Flame inside, how should we divide it appropriately?"
"Hehe..."
Elias chuckled twice and said, "So you are thinking about this. This is easy. If there is only one Star Flame, it belongs to you. You just need to give me some energy of the same value, and it will be worth my trip."
How could Li Ming believe this easily? He just nodded slightly, looked at the vortex, and said, "Okay, then I will enter it."
Hearing Li Ming's agreement, Elias's mouth corners slightly raised, and at the same time he raised his hand and took out a green metal rod. The whole thing was flashing green light, more than one foot long, and its appearance was similar to the blue wooden stick in Wilma's hand at the beginning, but the energy in it was quite different.
Obviously, the rank of this weapon is higher than the one in Wilma's hand. It is a fourth-rank stardust weapon, which is beyond Li Ming's expectation.
Elias waved lightly, and the green metal rod suddenly shone brightly. Then he pointed at a certain part of the vortex, and a beam of green light as thick as an arm shot out from it.
As soon as the green light entered a certain part of the vortex, the area emitted a wave of vibrations, as if a stone fell into the calm water surface. After the ripples, a round hole one meter long and wide appeared. The green light flashed in the round hole, completely isolating the vortex.
The powerful energy punched a hole in the vortex, and looking at the hole, you can even see the scenery deep inside the hole.
"Are you still not moving?!"
Elias continued to output energy to keep the hole open, and at the same time, he glanced at Li Ming and said sternly.
Obviously, this operation is extremely energy-consuming.
Li Ming hesitated for a few seconds, and finally stood up and jumped, disappearing into the green light like a small fish. Seeing Li Ming enter, Elias put away the green metal rod.
As soon as the green light was cut off, the vortex returned to its original state. Elias's eyes turned slightly and kept looking at the vortex.
At this time, Li Ming's figure kept falling down, and he could see the ground deep in the depths, dozens of meters high, and his body was like a stone falling freely from a cliff.
'Plop'
Li Ming's feet fell heavily to the ground. Although this planet has gravity, it is not strong. Li Ming can float in the air with his own energy, but it will consume a lot of energy, so it is most appropriate to land.
After a glance around, the first thing he felt was that the temperature here was not as high as outside. Looking up, the vortex was still spinning, and he couldn't see why, like an electric fan, but his feet were soft, as if he was stepping on sand and gravel.
Looking down, there was a piece of black sandy land under his feet. This kind of soil was like sand, pitch black, but soft, and seemed not as hard as the sand in the desert. It was more like foam. A pair of feet sank directly into it, and even the instep was submerged.
Li Ming looked around again, and the first thing that caught his eye was a red crystal boulder, one meter wide and nearly two meters high. There was a ball of red inside the boulder. This red object was very strange, as if something was curled up inside, and the surface also emitted a faint red halo, which made the whole crystal stone look like red. Apart from the red object inside, the entire crystal stone looked like an irregular ice block. It was only one or two meters away from Li Ming. He could not sense energy or detect abnormalities. Except for the bright appearance, the rest seemed to be the same as ordinary rocks.
But if you look closely, it seems to be a bit weird, that is, the part of the crystal stone close to the ground is the brightest red, making the crystal stone look like a fruit growing on the ground.
It is wonderful, but since there is no energy, it is of no use to Li Ming, so there is no need to care.
But the location of this stone is right below the vortex. If you use energy to open up the vortex and then look down through the opened area, you can see this object. Li Ming looked up at the vortex, then at this object, his face changed slightly, and he whispered: "Wilma said there might be star flames under the vortex. Could it be that she saw this stone..."
"If that's true, then this trip is in vain..."
Li Ming looked at the strange rock in front of him and sighed. At this time, Li Ming couldn't help but turn his eyes to the surroundings. After checking around, Li Ming found something unusual.
This place is no longer inside the mountain, but the underground under the mountain. There is an open space in the distance, and there are red crystals everywhere, like a huge square. The end is pitch black and nothing can be seen.
"Since I'm in... I might as well look around..."
Li Ming muttered to himself and found a direction and walked deeper. As he kept walking, Li Ming was surprised to find that the environment here was completely different from the volcano that erupted wantonly on the surface. It was very calm and a bit like a stalactite cave.
Above his head and around him, there were crystal blocks, and the ones above his head were more magnificent, like crystals, of different sizes and densely packed. The material under his feet did not change, and it was still those soft black sandstones.
Walking in such a place, it feels like entering a fantasy world. The crystals occasionally flash with faint waves, like red lights. Although it looks dark from a distance, you will find that the vision here is clear and wide when you are there.
It can't be said to be particularly bright, but the basic things can be seen very clearly.
After walking for a while, there is still no end in sight, and the surrounding environment has not changed much, as if this is just an ordinary cave on the planet, but the crystals formed in a certain environment are a bit beautiful.
Unknowingly, Li Ming has walked a long way, but still found nothing. He kept muttering in his heart: "How can there be star flames in such a place...?"
Thinking like this, Li Ming has already planned to return. But just when Li Ming was about to give up returning, a strange area caught Li Ming's attention.
Many crystals rose from the ground on Li Ming's right. These crystals were sharp and straight, one next to another, one on top of another, densely packed, like a wall, surrounding a place in a ring.
The sudden appearance of a different environment naturally attracted Li Ming's attention. Li Ming walked forward quickly and saw clearly that this was actually a circular giant pit, more than 30 meters wide and 5 or 6 meters deep, surrounded by these crystals on the edge.
These crystals on the edge were arranged one by one like a fence, neatly and orderly, and there were as many as five layers. The inner layer of crystals near the edge of the giant pit was more than three meters high, and the outer layer would be shorter, and the outermost layer of crystals was only more than one meter high, which looked like five steps from the outside.
Li Ming became more curious as he watched this scene. He first stepped onto the outermost layer of crystals one meter high, and then continued to go up like climbing stairs, until he reached the highest crystal in the innermost layer and stopped.
At this time, the inside of the giant pit surrounded by five layers of crystals was in full view.
The huge pit in front of him was like a calm ice surface, all red, and similar to the crystal blocks that Li Ming had seen before, but the difference was that the ground under the ice surface was all red, which made people feel a little uncomfortable. At the same time, the surface was emitting bursts of gas, which was similar to water vapor. After floating away from the ice surface, it was directly diluted in the air and disappeared.
In the center of the ice surface was an oval red object, which was not big, more than one foot high and half a foot wide. It was blood red in shape, and looked a bit like some bird eggs, but it was too long and didn't seem like it.
"What is this? Is it an egg laid by something?"
As soon as he finished saying this, Li Ming shook his head and denied it, his eyes slightly narrowed. Li Ming decided to go forward to see it clearly, and jumped down.
Stepping on the red ice surface made Li Ming feel a little uncomfortable, and he always felt that something was going to happen, but after taking a few steps, the feeling subsided a little. Soon, after a few steps, Li Ming was already standing in front of the round red object.
At such a close distance, it is already very clear, even the lines on the surface of this object are clearly visible, irregular light gray lines are spread all over the surface of this object like lightning, and the most important thing is that Li Ming can sense the energy contained in this object.
"Energy?!"
Li Ming said in surprise, his eyes widened a little. It can be said that this is the first object with energy that Li Ming has found since entering this area.
Although Li Ming doesn't know much, it is better to have energy than to have no energy. He can't come here in vain. No matter what this thing is, as long as it contains energy, he must take it away.
