Bleach Stronger by AFK Chapter 315: Star Core (2 in 1)
Chapter 316 Star Core (Two in One)
The fifth floor of the Star Refining Tower is a hexagonal, spacious and bright room, still made of metal, and its area is only slightly smaller than the arena on the fourth floor.
There was nothing in Nuo Da's room, except for the sound of Lin Lichuan's footsteps echoing, emphasizing a cold sense of emptiness.
After walking around the room and finding nothing, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but ponder slightly.
"According to the artificial intelligence, there should be a place for guards to be on standby in this Star Refining Tower. Where would it be?"
He looked around.
The room in front of you is obviously the venue for the fifth trial. From the outside, the Star Refining Tower has five floors. Most of the places where the guards are on standby are on this floor, hidden somewhere behind this room. .
Lin Lichuan came to the metal wall on the opposite side of the staircase entrance. He drew his sword and slashed at the wall with all his strength. After several consecutive blows, there were already several cracks up to 20 centimeters deep in the metal wall, but there was still no entrance. A type of existence.
"Judging from the sound, the back here shouldn't be empty." Lin Lichuan was a little helpless at this moment. The room was so large, so he couldn't try to pass through it section by section. After all, the wall was made of metal. The hardness is comparable to high-strength alloys. If he tries them all, he will probably be exhausted.
Suddenly, Lin Lichuan patted his forehead.
"I was so confused that I forgot about that."
He immediately turned his gaze to the lower right corner of his field of vision, and while staring, started walking around the room.
As a trial reward for the Star Refining Tower, since the bottle of primary star energy reagent is distributed immediately, it proves that there must be a certain amount of reagents stored in the tower. As long as you find the storage location of the star energy reagent, you might be able to get something. Discover.
It turned out that Lin Lichuan was right. More than two minutes later, the distance prompt of the meteorite energy finally popped up in the lower right corner of the field of vision.
Seeing this, he was overjoyed and immediately followed the prompts to constantly correct his position. After a while, he stopped in front of a metal wall.
"Is this it?"
Lin Lichuan did not hold back this time, and directly hit the wall with a **** crescent sky. Amidst the sharp and harsh sound of metal twisting and tearing, a huge gap instantly appeared in the wall, revealing the deep darkness behind it.
"It's done!"
Exhaling softly, Lin Lichuan immediately strode into the gap and took a closer look, only to find a small, dim room inside.
The floor, walls and ceiling are made of metal squares the size of a washbasin. Many precision instruments that have never been seen before are hung on the walls, giving it a high-tech feel. There are also inlays on the wall facing the gap. There is a huge device. Judging from the dense electronic screens, buttons and instruments on it, it is probably a console-type device.
The room in front of him looked inexplicably familiar. Lin Lichuan thought about it for a while before he remembered that the room he had seen on the second floor of the temple at the ruins of Black Flame Island was also arranged in this way.
"It seems that this is the central control room of the Star Refining Tower."
Lin Lichuan muttered, then turned his eyes to the three chairs in front of the console with their backs to him, and faint traces of paleness could be seen in the corners.
The situation in front of him felt particularly familiar. He cautiously came to the front of the three chairs and took a closer look. An expression of this was flashing across his face.
Sitting motionless on the chair were three skeletons with white horns. Their bones exuded a white luster in the dim light, carrying an indescribable charm.
The bones of evil spirits from outside the world!
No, they should be called the skeletons of StarClan now.
He once saw one in the temple of the ruins of Black Flame Island, and the star source refined from the bones was still lying in his backpack.
"Are there people on duty..."
After thinking about it, Lin Lichuan put the three skeletons into his backpack.
These are three star sources, but Tianshu is not around now, and he does not have the appropriate means to refine the bones, so he can only put them away first and deal with them later.
After collecting the bones, he continued to search for the hidden star energy reagents. Not long after, he found a drawer-like groove at the bottom of the console. When he opened it, he found a row of star energy reagents lying quietly inside. There are eight bottles.
Seven of the bottles are exactly the same as the primary star energy reagents he got on the fourth floor. The color of the liquid in the other bottle is thicker than the other reagents. When it is still, it looks like the best. Red crystal, extraordinarily beautiful.
"Is this a higher-level star energy reagent?" Lin Lichuan picked up the reagent and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw the words "intermediate star energy reagent" marked on the surface of the reagent bottle.
It is strange to say that they are obviously different civilizations, but both the characters and the language used by the Star Clan are exactly the same as those used by the mainland humans. It is not known whether there was some connection between the two a long time ago.
After thinking for a moment to no avail, Lin Lichuan shook his head to collect his thoughts, put away the star energy reagent, and was about to continue searching to see if there were any other hidden items. His ears suddenly twitched and he heard extremely light footsteps coming from outside.
"Achuan?"
Before he could react, Lu Qiu's unique gentle voice rang out.
Lin Lichuan relaxed his tense body and responded loudly: "It's me."
After he finished speaking, a figure flashed before his eyes, and Lu Qiu appeared in front of him instantly.
Space teleportation!
Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed slightly. It seemed that Lu Qiu had more than one spatial ability.
"Sure enough, I thought you should come to the fifth floor earlier than me. The trials on the first four floors are a bit unfriendly to a non-physical enhancement type ability user like me." Lu Qiu chuckled. After saying this, she looked around, a flash of surprise flashed across her delicate face, "Is this the central control room of the Star Refining Tower?"
"It should be right." Lin Lichuan said.
"Then we are lucky!" Lu Qiu's eyes lit up and he looked at the console with piercing eyes, "There should be a control hub on it, and what's inside might be the biggest gain from our trip to the ruins. ”
Lin Lichuan became interested and asked curiously: "What is it?"
"A kind of advanced concentrated energy called star core. I have seen it in some extremely confidential information. Whenever the star clan builds large-scale buildings, the energy driving core is usually star core, which contains a large amount of energy. Meteor energy, and only this advanced energy core, can support the survival of star disaster ruins and many star beasts for thousands of years." Lu Qiu explained.
After hearing this, Lin Lichuan suddenly showed a strange look: "The star core you are talking about is not a dark golden, basketball-sized, stone-like square object, is it?"
"Although I have never seen the star core with my own eyes, it is indeed described in the information." Lu Qiu replied in a daze, looking at Lin Lichuan in surprise, and then suddenly realized, "The **** of the ruins of Black Flame Island Is there also a star core in the temple?"
"Indeed there is."
As he spoke, Lin Lichuan took out the star core from his backpack. Because the meteorite energy contained in it was sucked away, the dark gold color on the surface of the star core became extremely dim, as if it was covered with a layer of dust.
Lu Qiu took the star core with slightly shining eyes and looked at it curiously.
At this moment, her spirit of inquiry as a researcher and her curiosity about unknown and strange things were completely aroused. She held the star core and observed it for a while, during which she continued to take out various small items from the storage space. instruments for observation.
Lin Lichuan, who had never seen a girl like this before, stood aside and watched with interest without disturbing her.
After five or six minutes, Lu Qiu temporarily ended his observation, raised his head, and smiled apologetically at Lin Lichuan: "Sorry, I was a little lost in thought."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Lichuan shook his head, "If you are interested in the star core, I can give this to you. It is useless in my hands anyway."
Hearing this, Lu Qiu thought for a while, and without being polite, nodded and said with a chuckle: "Thank you."
Putting away the star core happily, Lu Qiu turned to look at the console, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said slowly: "I'm not very familiar with the Star Clan's console. I don't know the specific location of the control hub. If violence is used, If you dismantle the entire console by any means, the contents inside the control hub may be damaged."
"No need to disassemble the whole thing, I know the specific location." Lin Lichuan glanced at the prompt in the lower right corner of his field of vision, strode to the left side of the console, and with a thought, the blade in his hand instantly turned into countless cherry blossoms, rushing to be the first. A metal square plate was placed above the wall next to the console, about thirty centimeters away from the countertop, and slipped through the gap between the square plates.
As Lu Qiu watched in surprise, a large number of dazzling sparks burst out from the gaps. Under the continuous splitting of countless cherry blossoms, the metal square plate finally squeaked and fell off the wall, revealing the hollow inside. hidden grid.
Inside the dark grid is a ring. On the top of the ring is a dark golden square the size of a basketball. It is exactly the same as the star core Lin Lichuan gave Lu Qiu, but the color is brighter. Apparently the energy inside has not been used up yet. All.
Seeing this, Lin Lichuan suddenly felt happy. He stepped forward and took out the star core from the dark grid. With a slight movement of his mind, the palm of his hand that was in contact with the star core immediately felt a warm current flowing into his body.
In just one second, the value in the crystal column on the personal interface jumped up five times, adding 5 crystals.
"Judging from the speed at which the crystals are increasing, there is no doubt that the energy of the meteorite contained in this star core is far greater than the previous one." Looking at the scene of the increase in crystals, Lin Lichuan suddenly felt ecstatic in his heart.
The star core brought him more than 3,000 crystals last time, and now the one in his hand obviously has more energy left in the meteorite. If he can absorb it all, it will definitely bring him far more than 3,000 crystals. this value.
Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Lin Lichuan turned to look at Lu Qiu, thinking about the conditions under which he would trade with the girl so that she would give him the star core, but he heard the girl whisper: "Then This star core will be given to you, Achuan."
Lin Lichuan was suddenly startled.
"This star check is very important to you, right?" Lu Qiu looked at him with a smile.
Looking at her expression, it was obvious that Lin Lichuan had some way to absorb the energy of the meteorite in the star core.
Lin Lichuan didn't hide anything, he nodded and admitted, hesitatingly: "But you..."
"I can't use the energy in the star core, so this thing is of no use to me." A smile appeared on Lu Qiu's face, "Besides, I haven't gained anything."
After saying that, she took a step forward and groped in the dark compartment with her hand. After a while, she retracted her palm, and there was already a small and delicate chip in her palm.
"This control chip is the real treasure to me." Lu Qiu looked at the chip, his eyes flashing with wonder and joy, "This control chip of the Star Refining Tower stores a large amount of information about If the precious information of Star Clan can be deciphered, our understanding of Star Clan will be greatly deepened, and we may even be able to obtain part of Star Clan’s technology for manufacturing biochemical beasts!”
Lu Qiu's tone was filled with surprise that could not be concealed. This was a loss of temper for her who was usually extremely calm and composed. However, Lin Lichuan could understand that, among other things, the Star Clan's technology for making biochemical beasts was so precious. Rarity, even in part, is priceless to a researcher.
What's more, if she can crack and master the technology of using meteorites to create biochemical beasts, it will undoubtedly be a huge wealth for her family. It's no wonder she behaves like this.
However, just as the meteorite energy in the star core was useless to Lu Qiu, the data in the control chip was also useless to Lin Lichuan. Even if it was given to him, he would not be able to use it. The two of them just got what they needed.
When Lu Qiu recovered from the surprise, Lin Lichuan told her about the Star Clan skeletons and the Star Energy Reagent.
According to the agreement, the two of them got something from the ruins, which was distributed in proportion to Lin Li, Chuan Si and Lu Qiu Liu. Naturally, he would not hide this.
Lu Qiu didn't care and just nodded, showing his complete trust in Lin Lichuan.
Then the two searched the control room again and decided to leave after confirming that there were no other hidden treasures.
"Speaking of which, is it possible that the average combat power of Star Tribe people is very strong?"
On the way down to the tower level, Lin Lichuan suddenly spoke out.
Whether it is the numerous alien beasts and star beasts outside the Star Refining Tower, or the trials inside the tower, it is not something that people below the knight level can handle. Even if the Morning Star Knight's biological energy level is only level 21, he wants to The possibility of passing the trial is not high. You need to have at least level 22 power level to be 80-90% sure of passing the test.
In other words, most of the people who can participate in the trial will have a biological energy level no lower than level 22.
If this is not a big deal, then coupled with the age limit for entering this ruins if you are over 20 years old, it is extremely scary to think about.
If this is the general norm of Star Clan, doesn’t it mean that all adult warriors of Star Clan are at least as strong as the Knights of the Morning Star?
"Although I really don't want to admit this, according to the information I have received in the past, this is very likely to be true. Adult Star Clan warriors are likely to generally have knight-level combat power. In their power system division, It's just the lowest star." Lu Qiu replied solemnly, and then showed a smile, "But fortunately, the Star Clan seems to have a small population, which is far inferior to our human race, and their reproduction rate is extremely low. , maybe this is the price of high individual strength."
Lin Lichuan looked slightly relieved. Also, if the Star Clan really had no weaknesses, they would have conquered the entire continent thousands of years ago.
"No wonder Star Clan created so many star beasts and alien beasts. It turned out to be to make up for the lack of manpower."
While talking, the two of them had returned to the first floor.
......
The time went back to half an hour ago, just when Lin Lichuan and Lu Qiu entered the Star Refining Tower, a ripple-like ripple suddenly appeared at the place where they originally entered the ruins, followed by three people wearing gray robes. The figure appeared out of thin air.
The thin gray-robed man in the lead held a silvery metal square with fine patterns painted on the surface. As the three of them stood still, the light on the surface of the square gradually dissipated.
After looking around and realizing that there was no danger around, the two people behind the skinny gray-robed man relaxed a little. One of them couldn't help but ask: "Master Selt, in order to pursue Lin Lichuan, you wasted a precious high-level life." Is access worth it?"
Selt, the skinny gray-robed man, did not look back and said calmly: "The Knight of the Bright Moon, who is less than twenty years old, if this kind of enemy is allowed to grow up, he will definitely become a serious problem for the sect in the future. Not only you, I'm afraid even I am no match for him."
The person who asked the question was silent for a while, but had to admit that what Selt said was correct. Compared with the terrifying enemies that may appear in the future, although a high-level pass is precious, it is not an unbearable price.
"What's more, this high-level access privilege may not be wasted." Celtic's tone suddenly changed, and he looked into the distance.
The two people behind him followed his gaze. When they saw the towering steel tower in the distance clearly, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "Star Refining Tower!"
"This is actually a trial ruins!" There was a look of ecstasy on both of their faces.
The person who had asked the question before said with surprise on his face: "No wonder the noble daughter of the Lu family would put aside the family's combat power and go deep into the Ring of Sighs with Lin Lichuan. It turned out that their target turned out to be a trial ruins. Looking at the situation here, there is still at least 10% to 20% of the star core in the Star Refining Tower!"
"If we can get the star core, we will have made a great contribution this time!" Another person also showed uncontrollable joy, and the ferocious color in his eyes flashed away, "Those two little guys are quite lucky. It’s a pity that we made wedding clothes for us.”
Ignoring the ecstasy of the two men in gray robes, Selt slowly floated into the sky and flew towards the forest.
"Let's go~IndoMTL.com~ Our target should be in that Star Refining Tower. In addition, there are many star beasts in the trial ruins with biological energy levels comparable to the Moon Knights. These monsters don't care who we are. , be careful not to provoke them, so as not to cause trouble."
"Yes! Sir!" The two men in gray robes responded in unison, flying into the forest after Selt.
The three of them flew extremely fast, passing through the woods nimbly and swiftly. What was surprising was that the alien beasts and star beasts they encountered along the way turned a blind eye to them without exception, allowing the three of them to pass by. He passed by, but there was no sign of attack.
The journey was smooth, and half an hour later, the three Celtics arrived at the Star Refining Tower.
Just at this moment, a layer of light suddenly flashed through the gate of the Star Refining Tower.
"They're coming out."
Selte's eyes were deep, and his body floated forward silently like a ghost.
Sorry for the late update, I thought I’d finish both chapters and post them together.
