The "jewel" mentioned by Ethos was placed deep underground under the Great Temple. The priests of the ancient city obviously attached great importance to this object. They drilled a stone with hundreds of stones into the bone foundation under the city.
A secret room was built in a meter-deep shaft, and the secret room was completely sealed with molten metal. It was precisely because of this crazy storage method that the gem escaped the battle between Hao Ren and his party and the Evil Mind.
, and also escaped the rebellion that occurred in the Great Temple thousands of years ago.
However, a mere few hundred meters of shaft and a layer of cast metal were not a problem for Hao Ren's autonomous machinery. The machinery quickly dug a sloping passage next to the high ground, and then extracted the "gem"
come out.
As Hao Ren and Vivian expected, it was a blood crystal.
The crystal clear blood-colored gem flows with mysterious brilliance. Each plane of the gem reflects the turbulent whirlpools at the boundary of different spaces. It looks magnificent and mysterious. Vivian holds the gem in her hand and gently
Stroking its surface: "An evil thought body... not only has been acting rationally for nearly a hundred years, but also specially made such a blood crystal before going completely crazy... Hao Ren, what do you think is inside this?"
"Maybe it's the 'message' from that evil thought body," Hao Ren frowned, "but to be honest, I don't recommend you to absorb this thing rashly. That evil thought body is so special, she even has divinity. She left it behind
The blood crystals must be very different from those you have obtained in the past."
"I will consider it carefully," Vivian shook the "gem" in her hand, with a smile on her face, "but you should understand my character. If I check the power in the blood spar, I will confirm that it is not harmful.
, then I must absorb it. After all, every piece of blood crystal contains memories that I have lost, or precious information, and I cannot turn a blind eye to it."
Of course Hao Ren understood Vivian's character, so in the end he just opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't do much to dissuade him. He just nodded lightly: "Then you must be careful, and if you want to absorb this thing, you must follow me in advance.
Tell me."
"Of course I know this." Vivian smiled and nodded, but just when she was about to continue to say something, a low rumble suddenly came from the distance, mixed with the loud noise of something breaking continuously, and everyone
The ground beneath my feet also began to tremble slightly.
"What's going on?!" Yzaks immediately raised his head and looked into the distance, and a gradually rising dust appeared in his field of vision.
I saw that large tracts of dust were gradually rising on the edge of the city. Countless shadowy buildings were shaking behind the dust clouds, and then collapsed in pieces. When the dust rose into the air, it seemed as if it was hit by something.
It can be seen that the disturbance of power, while rising and twisting, gradually formed a terrifying whirlpool structure like a horizontal tornado, almost forming one body with the quicksand vortex at the chaotic boundary of different space!!
Hao Ren only took one look and understood what was happening: "The collapse of different spaces has accelerated!"
Hesiana was immediately shocked: "How could this happen... Didn't it mean that no matter how fast the collapse here is, it will still take at least a few days..."
"Nonsense, I threw at least two dozen nuclear warheads when I fought with that evil thought body, and more than half of the destructive power was transmitted to the boundary of space." Hao Ren glared, "This does not include Lily's cannon Vivian.
The storm and the sea of blood thrown by the evil thought body! Do you think this place can survive the collapse of so many things?"
Hesiana looked at Hao Ren blankly for a long time before she finally said: "Now that you know you are the culprit, how can you still be so confident!?"
"In that situation, did I have any choice?" Hao Ren rolled his eyes at the little bat spirit, and then turned to look at the transparent "jellyfish" that was slowly floating in the sky, "Ethos, this place is going to end.
It's gone! You have to find a way to leave!"
"I know, I know... there will be a day like this sooner or later in this place," Athos's voice was still unhurried amidst the harsh roar of the constant collapse of the alien space, "There is no need to worry about me, the Chaos Wanderer will not
You will be killed by this level of collapse...You should leave as soon as possible, this city may not be able to sustain for a few more moments..."
More and more violent earthquakes are coming from afar, and the collapse speed of different spaces is further accelerating. This is like an activated chain reaction. Before the reaction has begun, the balance structure of space and time is relatively stable, but once a certain point is broken,
At the critical point, the collapse of the entire space was as fast and unstoppable as a sand castle in the waves. In just a few words, Hao Ren had already seen pieces of smoke and dust starting to rise from all directions in the city, even at the final stage of the collapse.
In serious places, the entire earth has curled up and bulged, and countless buildings and broken boulders floated like light foam, twisting into spirals in the air and falling towards the quicksand vortex at the border of chaos.
The entire lost city is accelerating into the vortex of the space boundary.
"What are you going to do?" Vivian asked loudly, "Are you sure you can run out in this situation?"
Erthos did not answer directly, but sighed with emotion: "I have stayed in this place for too long. Now that the master has died and the city has reached its end, it is time to say goodbye to this place... Let's go, while
I can still walk."
"Let's go," Hao Ren felt Ertus' indifference and determination from his spiritual connection, so he pulled Vivian beside him, "Don't worry, it knows what it is doing."
The collapse of different spaces is gradually approaching its peak, and finally even the gravity environment has begun to dissipate. The gravity system, which originally relied on the space-time structure, soon weakened and distorted after the space boundary lost its balance. The entire ancient city of Etos slowed down in the quicksand barrier.
Sloping slowly, the structures on the edge of the city spread out like flying snowflakes, swirling into the quicksand vortex. Hao Ren and his party quickly passed through the sky above the city, and they saw a huge black crack appearing on the central axis of the city.
The skeletal fragments of Erthos spurted out of the cracks like the fire of hell.
The spirit of Erthos began to leave the city.
The tentacles of the "giant jellyfish" were retracted from the ground, and its nearly transparent body slowly changed its shape, as if preparing for the final sprint. On the ground, the out-of-control Colossus Corps extinguished the runes one by one.
Their scorching cores finally cooled down. After losing their core support, these sophisticated golems would no longer function. They were like the most ordinary stones, gradually leaving the ground as the gravity became unbalanced and drifting towards the lower and lower pressure.
space boundaries.
It was a wise move to leave a set of stabilizers at the entrance and exit of the different space.
The collapse of space has caused the connection between this lost land and the main material plane to fall into an extremely turbulent state. If it were not for the forcible life extension of the stabilizer, I am afraid that this passage would have turned into a bright light with the collapse of the boundary.
energy sparks, and even with the function of the stabilizer, it looked shaky. When Hao Ren and his party came to the exit, the originally wide crack had turned into a bright circular hole, and the stabilizer was forcibly supporting it.
The edge of the portal continued to emit dazzling electric light, and it was obvious that it was reaching its limit.
"Hurry over, this place won't last long!" Hesiana pushed Elizabeth and Gun, and shouted as she ran towards the exit, "Everyone, follow up! Don't fall behind!"
Everyone passed through the gate one by one. Hao Ren and Vivian stayed at the end of the team. They stepped through the portal with one foot and looked back at the lost city for the last time before the passage completely collapsed.
The entire city was almost completely shattered, turning into large tracts of suspended land floating in space. The ruins of the great temple and several fragmented pyramids collided in the air. These ancient and magnificent buildings collapsed in a series of loud noises.
fragments.
And a translucent, shape-changing huge "creature" was floating above these fragmented wreckage. It seemed to pay homage to its former body for the last time, then turned its head and floated towards the largest vortex at the boundary of space.
The huge tearing force of space collapse seemed to not exist to Ethos. The figure swayed slightly in the vortex, then passed through the barrier and disappeared.
In Hao Ren and Vivian's minds, only Ethos' farewell message remained in their minds.
"Like a fish meow." Gun's head suddenly emerged from the space passage again and muttered next to Hao Ren.
"Hurry up and leave!" Hao Ren slapped this stupid cat on the head who couldn't tell his priorities. "If you don't leave, this place will really collapse!"
The unstable space passage made people dizzy for a while, but the dizziness went away as quickly as it came. Hao Ren soon felt that he was grounded again. He shook his head and quickly adapted to the dim environment around him.
It's still the same cave covered with yellow sand.
The two subordinates left behind by Hesiana were still guarding here faithfully. When they saw everyone returning safely from the rift, they immediately came up to greet them: "Great, you are safe. Patriarch, this place has been here since just now."
shock!"
Hesiana looked around the cave. She clearly saw that the walls of the cave were also squirming and shrinking, and the yellow sand on the ground was drifting in the wind like phantoms, so she nodded: "Get out of here first, this cave should be the same."
It will disappear soon."
The young male vampire saw Hesiana's serious and nervous expression and couldn't help but ask: "Chief, what happened inside?"
Hesiana glanced at Vivian, then at Hao Ren, and sighed softly: "Our family is so chaotic. It's hard for me to explain it to you with your normal human perspective."
