Arad's Sword

Chapter 493 Red Crystal Lotus
With the guidance of the "flame lighthouse", it didn't take much effort for Midi to arrive at the entrance of that underground space.

This entrance is deep in a canyon.

After two red tides, there are bottomless cracks everywhere in this canyon. However, those cracks are dead ends. Once they fall into them, even Midi will find it extremely difficult to fly out.

The entrance is hidden in these cracks, and it is difficult to find it even if you look carefully. Therefore, according to Midi's deduction, this underground space can only be found accurately after obtaining the "flame lighthouse".

In other words, he should be the only one who entered this place.

It's just that Alex can't figure it out with common sense, so even if only Midi can find the entrance in theory, he is still careful when entering, not leaving anything for a long time.

And as soon as he entered the underground space, Midi immediately noticed that there was a very faint but very familiar aura in it.

Dragon Breath!

Dragon's Breath from the Black Dragon Stele!

Feeling the breath of the dragon, Midi immediately remembered that in this Crystal Dragon Castle, isn't the most important thing for the big families in Menzoberranzan City is this "Black Dragon Stele"?

It's just that, whether it's the crystal forest above, the tenth floor of the underground dragon tower, or the black crystal forest underground, there isn't even a "black dragon stele" on the exchange list of the Dragon Temple.

After a series of extremely tense battles, coupled with the resource war that required a lot of calculations and deduction, Midi almost completely forgot about it.

But now, in this underground space, there is an aura that Midi feels very familiar with. Could it be that there is a Black Dragon Stele hidden in this space?

Although it is not clear what the function of the black dragon stele is, since it is something that the big families are fighting for, it must not be an ordinary thing.

Thinking of this, Midi was also slightly excited and looking forward to it.

But just because he noticed that this underground space was unusual, Midi became more cautious at the moment.

He unfolded the psychic power "half-scene sensing" to extend the spiritual power to the limit, and then, under the guidance of the spiritual power, he walked step by step along the ever-inclining tunnel and continued to move deeper underground.

I don't know how long it took to advance, and finally, the tunnel made of rocks became wider and wider, and the originally dull environment gradually began to become brighter.

What illuminates this underground space is red light.

And what emits this red light are large pieces of red crystals embedded in rocks.

These red crystals are much larger than those in the black crystal forest, and their colors are much brighter. They look like frozen blood, reflecting a bewitching light under the light.

"These are... red crystal essence?" Midi's tone was tinged with surprise.

The exchange ratio between red crystals and black crystals was originally one to two, but if it was exchanged for essences, it would not be surprising to see one to two hundred.

Although the resources of the Black Crystal Forest have been exhausted, if all the red crystal essence in this underground space can be mined, it will not be a problem to reach 100 million Black Flame Coins in a short time.

However, since there is a large amount of red crystal essence here, naturally, it is accompanied by red monsters.

Generally, after absorbing the red crystal, the monster will turn into a red monster that is at least [-]% stronger than the main body.

But now, in this underground space, what these monsters absorb is essence, so they are at least twice as strong.

Purple gold scorpions, metal tigers, double-headed snakes, etc., Midi can see that all kinds of powerful monsters, which can be called kings among the red monsters, all occupy a corner in this underground space.

Midi didn't intend to get entangled with these monsters at first, but soon, he found through the scanning of psychic energy that these monsters did not occupy a place randomly, but had a clear division of labor, as if they were guarding something generally.

Midi immediately tried to restrain his breath, and then found an opportunity to sneak in from the area that the monster didn't pay attention to.

Then, he discovered that in the center of the area guarded by the monsters, on a piece of extremely dense red crystal essence, there was actually a flower purely condensed from red crystals!
"Red crystal lotus!" Midi immediately recalled the knowledge learned in the Dragon Temple.

A red crystal lotus can be exchanged for 40 Black Flame Coins.

Originally, Midi had no feeling for this exchange rate at all.

Because he is very clear that in this kind of resource war, what can really determine the overall situation is the construction of infrastructure and the construction of resource collection corps.

The red crystal lotus seems to be expensive, but in fact, it must be extremely difficult to obtain. Maybe, in order to obtain the red crystal lotus, it is possible to consume more than 40 black flame coins.

Therefore, as a far-sighted commander, Midi has never disturbed his pace because of such things, let alone wasting time to find such treasures.

After all, no ruler relies on treasures to govern the country.

But it's different now. Today, the collection work in the Sombra Forest has become normalized, and the excitement is about to dry up. It can be said that it doesn't matter whether there is Midi's command or not.

And since Midi came to this underground space to explore alone, he is undoubtedly a pure adventurer.

Adventurers will always seek to maximize their profits. Since this red crystal lotus flower is right in front of them, even under heavy defenses, how could Midi shrink back.

Having made up her mind, Midi's eyes immediately glowed a dark blue with a metallic texture.

The next moment, the purple gold scorpion closest to the red crystal lotus lost its breath without a sound.

Psychic powers, brain locking, bursts of psychic attacks.

In an instant, Midi used his mental power to lock down the Zijin Scorpion's not-so-strong willpower to the lowest point, and then, as soon as the psychic sniper came out, he instantly killed it instantly.

And since they didn't make any movement, the other monsters didn't even know that one of their companions was dead.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Midi took a step forward and came to the red crystal lotus in an instant, and then stretched out her hand to copy, and directly copied the lotus with its roots and soil, and threw it into the storage room. In the object ring!

At the same time as they got the lotus, the other monsters reacted immediately, and immediately let out a deafening roar, and rushed towards Midi aggressively from several different directions.

It's a pity that since the nearest purple gold scorpion has been instantly killed by Midi, there is a huge gap in the extremely simple encirclement of these monsters.

With a dodge, Midi was directly teleported tens of meters away.

Then, a faint layer of black iron dragon flames rose from his body, directly suspended in the air, and rushed out at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

Awakening Cheats, Tianxiang Dragon Strike.

Although in the narrow environment of the underground space, Midi's flying speed is greatly restricted, but with the power of teleportation, it is not a problem at all to get rid of these huge monsters.

Soon, Midi had left the pursuer's sight, and then the dragon flame around him swept the air again, completely eliminating his human breath, leaving only the black iron dragon flame itself The dragon's breath is mixed with the dragon's breath in the underground space, making it impossible to trace.

"40 black flame coins..." After confirming the red crystal lotus flower in the storage ring, Midi felt a little excited.

He already had 30 Black Flame Coins on hand, and with this flower, it would be 70. As long as he collects another 30, he can exchange for the "Elementary True Dragon Training Method".

With the current efficiency of Midi's army, this is only a matter of a day or two.

However, Midi is also very clear that now that he has explored here, he must go all out to get the maximum benefit. If he has a little gain, he will withdraw. When he comes in again, he may miss the opportunity.

Although the real dragon training method is good, it is not something that can double your strength immediately once you get it.

Therefore, Midi decided to continue exploring.

Not long after, he discovered another place where the red crystal essence grows, and here, there is also a red crystal lotus!
Midi followed suit and took the second red crystal lotus into her pocket.

Starting with two lotus flowers is worth 80 black flame coins. Now, the basic real dragon training method can be said to be in Midi's pocket.

Therefore, when seeing the third red crystal lotus, Midi didn't make another move.

Once there are too many shots, it will inevitably leave traces, which can be discovered or even tracked by others.

This time, Midi chose to keep a low profile and avoid the monster settlement.

And as he continued to go deep underground, the dragon's breath became more and more obvious. Finally, in the depths of a natural circular space made of red crystals, Midi saw the piece he had been looking for. The ancient Black Dragon Stele.

That stele is also a remnant stele.

However, this remnant is much larger and more complete than the one of the Tarantula Tribe.

It was four meters long and looked as if it had fallen from a height. Therefore, the four-meter-long monument was divided into three sections.

The section in the middle is the largest, about three meters long, with one piece at the tip of the stele in front and another piece at the base behind it.

Due to the lack of support from the magic veins, this remnant stele is like an ordinary rock, lying quietly among the red crystals, covered by dust.

However, even if it was not activated, the ancient and desolate ancient dragon breath emanating from the remnant stele still made Midi's real dragon blood boil.

Just as Midi was about to go forward and try to collect the remnant monument, he suddenly saw two shadows in the corner of his eyes, flashing past among the chaotic rocks made of red crystals.

"Alex? And Thor?" Midi's pupils shrank suddenly.
