Chapter 172 Thank you for dying on my behalf!
"Fuck!"
Li Ran was stunned on the spot.
"Can this thing make me a mirror breaker?" Li Ran was excited and felt incredible.
He always thought that Mirror Breaker was an ability, but he didn't expect that he actually had a certain prop.
Wang Xiaodong, the previous erotic mirror breaker, seems to have mentioned that he is not the only mirror breaker. He even mentioned that his mirror breaker ancestors can travel through time and space and enter a place more awesome than the black mirror space - the time realm space. .
Is it a coincidence that a man carrying the source of broken mirrors and a sealed demon of time are here and now?
Li Ran looked at the corrupted corpse and thought to himself: "Is this guy the ancestor of the Mirror Breaker? He has the ability to enter the time space. Is he the one who introduced the time demon here?" He looked at the spherical mirror in his hand and
thought Thinking that the source of the broken mirror can make him a mirror breaker, does it mean that there is something like the source of time and space? A source of broken mirror alone cannot travel through time and space.
The appearance of the Mirror Breaker and Time Demon in this lava crystallized land also proves the existence of Time Space.
If he can combine the broken mirror and the ability to travel through time and space, he can also travel through time and space freely.
With this ability, life can have many more possibilities, and life can have the opportunity to choose again. This is the ability that many people dream of.
The strange butterfly was still hovering above the rotting corpse, indicating that the real treasure had not yet been found. Li Ran once again groped among the rotting clothes of the rotting corpse.
Sure enough, he touched an item again.
It was an old parchment roll, made of unknown material. It did not decay like corpses and clothes. It was rolled up like a scroll.
The Phoenix Butterfly lost its luster at this time and turned into a crystal butterfly that fell into Li Ran's palm.
He put the strange butterfly away and would not use it again until three days later.
Three days later, he either left the dungeon or died in the dungeon. Whether he needed to get this item is another matter.
He slowly opened the parchment. On it was an extremely ancient map, marked with ancient characters. Those characters were exactly the same as those on the black mysterious stone tablet, and he couldn't understand even a single word.
Looking carefully, I feel that there is an ancient formation recorded in the parchment. The formation image is a picture of all the parts in a mechanical watch stacked together. There are ancient words recorded around the formation diagram. Look It's extremely complicated to get up there.
(It is said that the Haoyue tribe has lost something. If you give it to the leader of the Haoyue tribe, it will reveal the secret of the parchment for you.)
Haoyue tribe?
What is this place?
Goldfinger gave no hint this time.
I have been at Cangming Airport for so long and have never heard of the Haoyue Clan.
But Li Ran believed that the formation diagram on the parchment scroll must be related to time travel, and even to the mysterious black stone tablet.
If he could find the Haoyue clan and decipher the meaning of the ancient words above, maybe he could solve the mystery of time travel.
But now there is a problem. The spherical mirror in his hand cannot be used at all. The source of the broken mirror needs to collect full energy before it can be used.
The problem is what kind of energy needs to be collected, he has no idea.
The source of the broken mirror, energy value: 0/999.
He put away the source of the broken mirror and the ancient parchment.
He looked around and sighed.
On this treasure hunt, I found the treasure but seemed not to find it.
Because there was none he could use.
"It seems that we have to go back to find the Erotic Mirror Breaker to unlock the secrets of these two things."
At this moment, Li Ran heard a strange sound.
It was the sound coming from the drill hole above him.
Li Ran quickly hid under a huge crystal flower and peered into the direction he came from.
I saw a rope falling down from the hole, and two figures slipped down from the rope one after another.
"Brother Xue, how did your mission end up in a place like this?"
"My identity is the leader of the emergency team, and my father is a miner in the mine. After I returned home, my mother in the dungeon told me that there was something wrong with the mine where my father was. , let me go to the mine and have a look. This mission is an exploration mission. The reward is very generous. You are good at it. I need a helper like you. After the task is completed, I will give you half of the points." Hiding under the cluster of crystal flowers
. Li Ran frowned slightly and said in shock: "Xue Jin, Li Wangu?"
Li Ran did not go out to recognize each other rashly, he wanted to see what the two men were doing.
Li Wangu walked behind Xue Jin, looking at this lava crystallization land with a shocked face, and was also shocked by the spectacular crystals in front of him.
"Brother Xue, is this the problem with the mine?" Li Wangu asked.
Xue Jin nodded, with a solemn expression, and said: "Just after I came down, my exploration mission ended, but a new mission was triggered. The rewards of this mission are higher and more generous. After completing these two missions, I will give you You."
"What mission?" Li Wangu's eyes lit up.
Xue Jin did not answer, but walked to a cluster of crystal flowers: "Since this space was drilled deep in the mine, workers in the mine have disappeared one after another. At first, people thought that this space under the drill hole was There were strange creatures in the land of crystals, and it was not until later that my father discovered that things were not that simple."
Xue Jin put his hand on a piece of crystal, and his palm completely fit the surface of the diamond-shaped crystal.
"I saw these from my father's diary. In order to prevent the news of someone missing in the mine from spreading, the mine owner blocked the news here on a large scale, recruited more miners and gave doubled wages. For wages, the miners are ordered to mine the crystals in this space."
Li Wangu listened with rapt attention and asked: "Then what?" "
My father's diary said that the boss was crazy and increased his efforts to mine the crystals even when someone was missing. The mine was completely blocked and no one was allowed to enter or leave."
"Later they discovered that more than two hundred miners, including my father, were infected with a strange disease." "
At first, this strange disease would grow on people's skin like ringworm. It was neither painful nor itchy, and people didn't care. They would be concerned about it, thinking that it was just a common skin disease that could be solved by applying plaster or something, but later they discovered that it was this kind of skin ringworm that grew bigger and bigger, with large patches on their arms, legs, back, and chest. The growth of patches, they are not ulcers on the skin, but patches similar to crystallized fish scales growing on the surface. Over time, they will also ooze tinfoil-colored pus." Li Wangu frowned after hearing this
. After hearing this, he got goosebumps all over his body.
"Then...then we still dare to come here, let's leave quickly." Li Wangu's eyes showed a bit of fear.
Xue Jin lowered his head and touched the surface of the crystal, and continued: "My father was the only one who escaped from the mine, but he turned into a puddle of tin-colored water and died at home." Li Wangu frowned and said:
" This is just your identity in the dungeon. There is no need to carry your emotions so deeply." "
Before I was trapped in the hotel by the Nightmare, I had always lived at home. When I was trapped in the hotel, I wanted to do this mission. It was done, but it has been delayed until now."
"Is it worth taking such a big risk to do this task?" Li Wangu asked in confusion.
Xue Jin nodded and said: "It's worth it, and it's necessary."
"My father's diary also records that people infected with the Crystallization Land virus turn into thick water after death and the virus dispersed in the air will infect those around them. People."
Upon hearing this, Li Wangu took a few steps back like lightning and looked at Xue Jin in disbelief.
"Brother Xue, don't make such a joke."
Li Wangu forced an extremely ugly smile on his face. He was really frightened by the story Xue Jin told.
Xue Jin withdrew his hand from Jingjing with an indifferent expression, and slowly rolled up the long sleeves of his denim jacket.
"This, this, this...how...how could this happen!" Li Wangu was so frightened that he took two steps back.
There is a large piece of fish scale crystalline moss on the skin of Xue Jin's right arm. The dense crystalline mass makes the scalp numb, as if countless small crystals are pieced together and then embedded in the skin. It looks extremely leaky. people.
"At first it was only the size of a pimple, but it has grown to such a big size in the past few days." Xue Jin rolled up the sleeve of his left arm as he spoke, and there were actually two pieces of crystal moss on his left arm.
"You have also seen that my current symptoms are the same as those described in my father's notebook." Xue Jin looked up at Li Wangu and said indifferently: "Except for my arms, my abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, and calves The whole body is covered with these things."
Li Wangu was completely frightened. He hurriedly took out a mask from the storage space and put it on, and stepped back to the rope that slid down step by step.
Xue Jin approached Li Wangu unhurriedly and said in a very cold and ruthless tone: "Do you know how to treat this disease?"
Li Wangu shook his head desperately. He just wanted to leave here now.
How could he have imagined that his teammates, who had lived and died together and even slept together for a few days, would actually want to harm him.
If the records in Xue Jin's father's notebook are not false, if Xue Jin's strange skin disease is not treated at this time, it will eventually turn into a puddle of pus like tinfoil, and the virus in the thick water may be transmitted to people around him. .
Before coming to the mine, they were originally going to the terminal to do a mission, but Xue Jin brought him to the mine on the grounds that he had failed to complete the mission in the terminal, saying that it was his guiding mission. Let him help to finish it.
He thought to himself that it was really miserable that such a long time had passed and the guidance mission had not been completed. Besides, Xue Jin said it was just a simple exploration mission.
Only now did he realize that Xue Jin was going to infect him with the virus.
"Xue Jin, you are so vicious. I regard you as the person I trust most and you treat me like this?" Li Wangu said angrily.
A slight sneer appeared on the corner of Xue Jin's lips, and he slowly walked towards Li Wangu: "Actually, during the hunter game in the warehouse center, I had already locked you in as my substitute. You are very upright and very nervous. , has no wariness about the people around him, and is the best substitute."
"Substitute, what do you mean?" Li Wangu asked with a look of horror on his face.
He also recalled the first time he met Xue Jin in the storage center. Xue Jin had just found a key and he happened to appear there. In order to make Xue Jin let down his guard, he handed over the two keys in his hand. Xue Jin gained his trust.
Thinking of this, Li Wangu felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. Xue Jin actually started to make plans for him at that time?
How could he endure it until now?
At this time, not only Li Wangu was horrified, but also Li Ran who was hiding under the huge cluster of crystal flowers not far away.
"Among all the players, Xue Jin is the one who remains the calmest when encountering anything. He can even make suggestions on key issues and is very team spirit. Apart from me and Zhao Yingzhi, his strength is the only one among the remaining players. The strongest one, I really didn't expect that his city was hidden so deeply."
Li Ran thought of what Xue Jin just said again, is there a virus in this land of crystallization?
He stared at the crystal in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.
(There is a viral substance in the broken crystal dust. If you inhale it accidentally, you will get a strange disease, but it is not a threat to you. You are wearing a multi-functional mask and an immunity ring.) "There is really a virus in the crystal!" Li Ran was extremely surprised
. .
Fortunately he didn't take off his multifunctional mask when he came down.
No wonder it was previously warned that it is temporarily safe and the risk is low.
It refers to the virus dust in the crystal.
"My father's diary also recorded that people infected with the crystal virus will die in as little as three days and as many as seven days. If you want to live, you have to find a substitute to bear the pain." Xue Jin walked slowly
towards Li Wangu, Li Wangu kept retreating.
At this time, Li Wangu's back was leaning on a crystal more than two meters high. When he looked back, he saw a middle-aged man with a dark face wearing a miner's uniform sealed in the crystal. The man's face was full of fear, and his body movements were like During the escape, he was sealed in the crystal.
At this moment, Li Wangu turned pale with fear.
He immediately took out his flaming hammer and issued a warning: "Xue Jin, if you take one step closer, I will fight with you!"
Xue Jin stopped and kept a distance of three meters from Li Wangu, still with a smile on his face. With a slight sneer: "Do you know how these people died?"
"Rust, rustle!!!"
Suddenly, three black cards fell from the top of Li Wangu's head, and the three cards were like phantom butterflies. It flew around Li Wangu, and then the trajectory of the card's flight turned into three black chains, which were suddenly closed.
Just as Li Wangu was about to react, he lost the ability to resist. Three chains tightly entangled him and imprisoned him with weapons.
He panicked for a moment and kept struggling, but no matter how he resisted, the chains on his body got tighter and tighter, making him almost breathless.
"Despicable, conduct a sneak attack!"
Li Wangu gritted his teeth and cursed: "You hold the grass, please let me go. Carrying a sneak attack is nothing. If you have the ability, you can fight me openly." Xue Jin didn't care about Li Wangu's scolding
. , he slowly unbuttoned his denim jacket.
When he saw the terrifying appearance of Xue Jin's upper body, Li Wangu was about to collapse.
Almost no piece of Xue Jin's upper body is intact. Below the neck, crystalline ichthyosis has grown on a large area of the skin. It is difficult to tell whether it grows from the body or on the skin. It is especially dense on the chest and back. It makes people's scalp numb.
"I have less than half a day left in my life. If I don't find a replacement, I will turn into a puddle of thick water like my father." Xue Jin turned around and showed Li Wangu the dense and disgusting ringworm on his body. look.
Li Wangu was about to go crazy and collapse: "I beg you, Brother Xue, please let me go. I can still save you before you make a big mistake. Let's go out together and catch an aborigine in." Is that okay?"
"It's useless. The aborigines generally have higher levels of guile than you and me. I'm not sure, but you, I'm absolutely sure." "No, no, no, there must be another way
. Yes, Brother Xue, look for Li Ran, Li Ran will definitely help you."
Xue Jin turned his right arm and walked to Li Wangu. Suddenly, his hand curled into a claw and grabbed Li Wangu's cheek. He said coldly and angrily: "Go back I will explain to others later that you accidentally sacrificed your life while helping me with the task." "
Uh... Uh-huh!!" Li Wangu couldn't make any resistance. He shook his head in collapse and screamed in despair. Voice.
"Li Wangu, I will be grateful to you forever. Thank you for dying on my behalf!"
After saying that, the crystalline ichthyosis on Xue Jin's body seemed to be given life, flowing from various parts of his body to his arms. Go, as if Xue Jin's body turned into a conveyor belt, those crystal ringworms crazily crawled towards Li Wangu's mouth.
Li Wangu's face was full of despair and fear, and no matter how much he resisted, he could not break free from the chains on his body. "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
" After the terrifying crystalline ringworm on Xue Jin's body disappeared, his skin returned to its original appearance. When the last piece of crystal ringworm on his body got into Li Wangu's mouth, he quickly let go of his hand and stepped back quickly. The chains on Li Wangu's body were also loosened at this time, but he knelt down directly on the ground and dug at the base of his tongue with his fingers, trying to pull out all the crystal ringworm he had swallowed. His face flushed, and the veins on his neck and forehead popped out. But no matter how hard he picked at it, he could only retching in the end, and couldn't get out any of the crystal ringworm.
Xue Jin put on his clothes unhurriedly, took out a blue mask and put it on his face, and then walked towards the rope below the drill hole ruthlessly and indifferently.
"Don't...don't go...don't go!!"
Li Wangu got up and chased after him, but halfway there, he covered his neck in pain and fell to the ground again.
"Help...save me, save me!!"
He got up again and strode after him.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
But while running, he suddenly spit out a large number of crystal blocks from his mouth. These crystal blocks poured out from his mouth crazily, like spitting out a torrent of crystal waterfall, which instantly covered his lower body. submerged.
"Uh-huh-huh!!!!"
Li Wangu's mouth was like opening a gate to release a flood. After the waterfall-like crystal blocks fell on the ground, they did not flow around like water, but piled up and covered him. His body was submerged in it, and those crystals seemed to be alive, automatically forming a huge diamond-shaped crystal.
For a long time, a huge diamond-shaped crystal more than three meters high stood in this crystal land. The people inside the crystal had faces full of fear and despair!
Xue Jin glanced at Li Wangu, who had turned into crystal, and then pulled the rope to climb up the drill hole without looking back.
The place where the lava crystallized fell into deathly silence again.
