The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 1120 An unexpected surprise
The three pillars, the dragon Figueras and the human Eric returned satisfied after distributing the spoils, but Alan himself stayed behind with the soldiers of the legion for a while.

Alan didn't know much about this canyon and its surrounding environment, and he only had a rough idea about the future plans. The specific practical operations still had to be determined in combination with the local environment and resources. So even though Alan urgently needed to recuperate and recover, he still planned to stay here for a while.

If Alan doesn't sort out the relevant matters of the canyon this time, he may not know when he will come back after he returns. After all, the resources, climate environment, etc. here are not enough to attract Alan's attention.

"Chief, we actually have a discovery that we haven't reported yet."

Allen's brief stay in the canyon unexpectedly brought him an unexpected gain. Terrence did not find Allen alone until all the strong men who were not from the Green Tribe had left. He then reported a discovery that their troops had made while cleaning the battlefield.

"Ok?"

Alan turned and looked at the bugbear.

"When we were searching the original site of the White Bone Tower, we discovered a passage left by the Hydra as it climbed out from underground. I later sent out elite scouts to investigate, and they reported that about 3000 meters below the ground, there was a network of caves consisting of a huge crystal vein."

"There is a huge palace made of crystal at the entrance of the huge cave where the caves meet. It should be the place where the Hydra is sleeping. We found a set of relatively intact puzzle locks in the palace. We just need to find a professional to repair it before we can use it."

"...In the branch passages of the Crystal Cave, we also found many magical creatures that rely on crystal veins for survival, such as crystal scorpions, earth elemental puppets, and so on."

"But in order to keep it secret, I called back the scout team and had them block the passage."

Terence slowly told Alan about their findings, and Alan's eyes lit up.

In this way, this place is not completely without value for development.

"Take me to see it."

"This way."

Terence, who had been prepared, was waiting for Allen to ask this question and immediately led the way for Allen.

The dilapidated square tower of bones stood crookedly in its original position, but most of the owners who once served and took care of it had now turned into dust in the canyon, and the remaining few were prisoners of the invaders.

On the dilapidated land not far from the square tower, several huge stone slabs spread on the ground were moved away by the goblin warriors guarding the side with the arrival of Allen and Terrence, revealing a deep and dark vertical pit passage under the stone slabs.

"This is the passage that the Hydra climbed up. Go straight down and you will reach the crystal mine cave. Go east for more than 1000 meters and you will reach the crystal palace."

Terrence and Allen were suspended in the air and slowly descended to the bottom of the cave. When Terrence took out a fine fluorite from his dimensional equipment as a lighting device, what came into Allen's eyes was a magnificent crystal world.

Prismatic crystals grow straight and intertwine to form an irregular white crystal rock wall. The sharp tips of the crystals extending outward from the rock wall flash coldly under the fluorite light, adding a sense of solemnity to this beautiful picture.

Alan frowned slightly, because he found that his perception was limited in this crystal cave. He could not penetrate into the vein to find out its approximate thickness and length.

But then his face relaxed again, and he grabbed a prismatic crystal that protruded about half a meter in the cave with his bear paw. He exerted his muscles suddenly to break it directly from the rock wall. A crisp sound splashed some crystal foam, and Alan held the basically intact columnar crystal in his hand and played with it.

"...The crystal has a hardness of 7.5, high light transmittance, and excellent magic conductivity. The regular hexagonal shape is convenient for depicting most spell models..."

The God of Food Domain was activated as Allen thought, and penetrated into the crystal. Although such things could not be used as food, the identification characteristics of the domain still gave Allen a clearer understanding of the crystal. The production areas of crystal veins are spread all over the world, and the reserves are quite huge. However, it is also one of the most in-demand magic material consumables. Therefore, although its price is relatively affordable, it is also a mineral that is not worried about selling.

Moreover, high-quality crystals are often in short supply. Not only can they be used to make powerful magic consumables, but they can also be used to make various magic storage props and magic jewelry.

Crystal veins with huge reserves are also accompanied by various precious crystal varieties, such as amethyst, titanium crystal, golden hair crystal, etc. The value of any vein that can produce accompanying mineral crystals will immediately increase by more than ten times.

As they moved eastward along the winding cave, the temperature inside gradually changed. The air became dry and hot, and the crystal veins began to emit a faint light. With the goblin's natural vision, even without the fluorite in Terrence's hand to illuminate it, they could still clearly see the road and the shape of the crystals inside.

Alan's sharp eyes kept scanning the crystal ore he saw along the way. The scale and quality of this vein were somewhat beyond Alan's expectations. Several times, Alan discovered crystal veins of other colors in the white and colorless crystal rock walls, which means that there is a high probability that it contains more valuable associated crystals.

When Alan arrived at the crystal palace where the nine-headed hydra Hydra was dormant, he was slightly shocked for once.

This is a palace made entirely of the most flawless transparent crystal. The 36 giant crystal hexagonal prisms that support the palace have a diameter of about five meters and a height of more than fifty meters, forming a huge palace that can accommodate the Hydra to move freely and live.

There is nothing else in the palace except the circular dome above the head and the 36 pillars supporting the dome, as if to facilitate the Hydra to enter and exit. There are no other furnishings inside the palace, only some oval pebbles polished from precious crystals such as amethyst and titanium crystal, which are paved into a huge snake nest for the Hydra to live in.

With Alan's height and size, he looked particularly small against the backdrop of this majestic palace. And the light released by the fluorite in Terrence's hand, compared with the dome in front of him that spontaneously absorbed natural magic to produce colorful light, was like the difference between a pheasant and a phoenix.

"This is the crystal palace we found."

Even though he had been here once before, Terrence was still fascinated when he stepped into the palace again. However, he did not forget to introduce their discovery to Alan: "The palace's maze lock device is these 36 crystal columns, and the core that controls them is in the nest covered with crystal pebbles."

"It's the oval-shaped, milky white crystal pebble in the center of the snake's nest."

Alan and Terrence slowly descended into the snake's nest. There was a rustling sound under their feet, and the slippery crystal stones occasionally collided and made a pleasant sound.

Fist-sized, round, shiny crystal pebbles of various colors are laid flat in a slightly concave nest formed by dozens of transparent crystal pillars. The oval milky white crystal with a diameter of 50 centimeters and a height of more than one meter that is vertically inserted in the center of the snake's nest is indeed very eye-catching.

Not to mention anything else, the value of these crystal pebbles of different colors and filled with magical aura alone is equivalent to the income of the Green Clan for several years.

“Great job!!”

Allen patted Terrence on the shoulder. A simple compliment immediately made the not-so-young Terrence smile with joy. He was inexplicably happy: "I will remember this contribution. The tribe will definitely reward you later."

"This is all thanks to your wise leadership, Patriarch!!"

Although Terence was delighted, he still replied modestly.

Terrence was already satisfied to receive praise from the idol, the patriarch, whom he had always respected. As for other merits, he was well aware that their legion had not made much contribution in this fierce battle, let alone deciding the outcome of the battle.

Kicking the pebbles at his feet, Alan slowly walked to the relatively large crystal in the middle, leaned over and placed his hand on the crystal that was slowly absorbing the natural elements scattered around it, ready to take a closer look.

"Huh??"

As soon as the powerful bear paw touched the smooth crystal pebbles, the identification effect that came with the God of Cookery's domain immediately gave Alan an unexpected feedback.
