Chapter 146 Crystal Forest
The next day.
No. 1 Civilization Heritage Center.
A magnificent palace floats among the clouds, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Below, an unidentified crystalline structure, nearly a hundred feet high, surrounds the area, which resembles a crystal forest without leaves. This is the final test site for the No. 1 civilization relic.
It is located 20 kilometers away from this area.
Thousands of people are hiking toward this place, and at the same time, so are people in three other directions.
The Great Xia team.
"Ji Zhiming, the number of people is reduced by half," Teng Hai said.
"Yes, it's the right choice for a level 4 talent who has just entered the second realm not to participate in the assessment. With so many people now, they can go and clear out the surrounding monsters and explore other places."
"The assessment criteria for heritage sites are different each time, and there is no experience to refer to. Otherwise, it would still be worth a try."
Teng Hai nodded.
The speed of several thousand people is not slow.
After half an hour, we finally arrived at the central area of the site.
"What is this?"
Looking at the crystal forest before them, everyone couldn't help but wonder.
"I don't know, this wasn't mentioned in previous materials, it should be part of this assessment."
"So what should we do? Should we go in?"
Ji Zhiming shook his head. "Wait."
"Wait?"
"Um."
Another ten minutes passed.
Click...click...
A crystal puppet materialized on the crystal tree trunk and walked in front of everyone.
"Welcome to the geniuses of the Blue Star Civilization to participate in the genius assessment of the Myriad Origin Civilization."
Ji Zhiming stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, how do we get to that palace?"
"Pass through the Crystal Forest, ascend the Myriad Phenomena Plank Road, and reach the end point to arrive at the palace to undergo the final test."
"Could you please introduce yourself to us?"
The crystal golem nodded. "This crystal forest spans ten kilometers and contains tens of thousands of crystal beasts, ranging in strength from the first to the fourth rank."
"Crystal Beasts like elemental stones. When you encounter a Crystal Beast, you can give it the elemental stones you have collected. If they are satisfied, they will let you pass."
Of course, you can also rely on your own strength to defeat the crystal beasts you encounter and reach the center of the forest.
At this moment, Xiao Weiqing came out and asked:
Do crystal beasts of different strengths collect the same amount of elemental stones? How do we determine the strength of a crystal beast?
The crystal golem shook its head. "No comment."
After saying that, the crystal golem disappeared into the crystal tree trunk.
"The assessment begins!"
A majestic voice resounded in everyone's ears.
"What should we do?"
"We'll see what happens. What else can we do? In the end, it all comes down to strength. I'm going in." Luo Dechang waved the giant hammer in his hand and walked into the Crystal Forest.
Stepping into the Crystal Forest, Luo Dechang's figure disappeared.
"It's gone?"
"It seems that, just like entering the ruins, we'll be separated, folks. There's no other way; we'll have to rely on our own abilities."
Ji Zhiming also said, "See you upstairs."
Nearly three thousand people.
They entered the Crystal Forest one after another.
As Xiao Weiqing stepped into the forest, the scene before him shifted, and he was surrounded by countless crystal trees.
At this time.
A childish voice rang out.
"Hey, I opened this road, I planted this road. If you want to pass, leave behind 3 elemental stones, no, 5!"
A humanoid crystal beast, with a pumpkin head on its head and a crystal spiked club in its hand, shouted at Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing looked at the crystal beast, which was less than a meter tall, and almost laughed.
"Where did this little brat come from? Where are your parents?"
Crystal Beast was displeased upon hearing this, "I'm not called a little brat, my number is 54213, I've grown up and can go out on my own."
"Okay, so how many elemental stones do you want?"
"Five, no, four!"
Xiao Weiqing chuckled, "How many are there exactly? You don't even know which is more, 5, 4, or 3?"
"No laughing!"
The little crystal beast, number 54213, was furious.
"Of course I know. If you count the big ones, it must be 3. Give me 3 elemental stones and I'll let you pass."
Xiao Weiqing shook his head, no longer interested in discussing with the crystal beast whether 3 or 5 was bigger.
"Clang!"
A flash of fire.
Click!
Crystal Beast No. 54213 lost its arm that was holding the spiked club.
"Ouch~ my arm."
The little crystal beast scurried up the tree and disappeared into it.
A few seconds later, a small hand reached out from the tree root and picked up his arm.
There was no stopping.
Xiao Weiqing glanced at the arrow on the card on his arm and began to move forward.
Ten kilometers, not too close, not too far.
......
Boom!
"10 elemental stones, or else..."
"Boom!~"
With a single slash, the crystal beast in front of Xiao Weiqing shattered into pieces.
They quickly regrouped, but the crystal beast, which was originally 2 meters tall, was now smaller.
"The road ahead is long and arduous; you'll see what happens!"
The crystal beast darted into a nearby tree and hid.
Xiao Weiqing glanced at the card.
"The golden dot in the middle must be the center, so we're only halfway there."
"Speed up!"
......
"Boom!~"
"Kid, if you don't leave behind the elemental stones, where are you going?"
"Fire Owl~"
"Bang!~"
"Ouch, my knees and necks."
"Brother, don't hit me, don't hit me, this way is closer."
"We can also avoid number 13."
Xiao Weiqing looked down at the crystal beast. "Number 13?"
"Yes, number 13. The top 100 are all crystal beasts over three meters tall. The earlier the number, the stronger they are. In our direction, number 13 is guarding the very back."
"Oh, and what about you?"
"Me? My number is 998."
Xiao Weiqing asked, "What kind of beings are you?"
Crystal Beast No. 998 was a little confused. "That's just how we are."
Xiao Weiqing: "..."
"Why do you need elemental stones, and what is their connection to this Crystal Forest?"
The crystal beast replied, "Eating elemental stones will make us stronger. This tree is where we were born; we were born here. We rely on the crystal tree for our survival. If we are not strong enough, we cannot go too far."
Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly. The strange race continued forward in the direction pointed out by number 998.
A few minutes later.
"grass!"
"Damn number 998."
Xiao Weiqing now has an urge to go back and uproot the big tree at No. 998.
Before them stood a nearly four-meter-tall crystal beast, exuding an oppressive aura. Behind it was a walkway suspended in the air, connecting to a palace in the clouds.
The enormous crystal beast spoke, "Elemental Stone."
How many do you want?
"all."
"Will giving it to me let me pass?"
"cannot!"
What's your number?
"Number 3!"
Xiao Weiqing remained expressionless as he pulled out half of the Crimson Dragon.
Upon seeing this.
Crystal No. 3 roared:
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
Thump~ thump~
Crystal Beast No. 3 took two steps to cover dozens of meters, and then smashed down with a punch from above.
It looked like they wanted to smash Xiao Weiqing to the ground.
"True Form of Flame!"
Xiao Weiqing did not underestimate the situation and immediately entered his Yan True Form.
"cut!"
The crimson dragon, wreathed in fiery energy, slammed into the fist of the No. 3 crystal beast.
"Clang!"
The blade struck the fist, producing a loud metallic sound.
This attack stopped the No. 3 Crystal Beast's charge, while Xiao Weiqing retreated several steps and behind a large crystal tree.
A thick arm stretched out from the crystal tree and grabbed Xiao Weiqing.
"Sir Number 3, I've caught him!"
