When they entered the black crystal gate again, the dazzling light made their eyes hurt. Ji Yanran took out a pair of glasses for Han Sen. He felt much better after he put them on.
Looking at the patterns on the wall of the passage, he still could not understand what they meant. After they walked through the passage, there was a horizontal corridor in front of them. There were many rooms on both sides of the corridor. Han Sen looked around and found that the crystal doors of several rooms had been opened.
He winked at Ji Yanran, and the two of them quietly walked to the first room that was opened. They looked inside and found that the room was very small. It was only about ten square meters, and there was nothing in it.
Then, he carefully looked at the other rooms, but they were all empty.
"The things in these rooms must have been taken away by Li Mingtang," Ji Yanran said after looking for a while.
"How do you know there are things in here?" Han Sen asked with confusion.
"I have read a lot of information about the Crystallizers. Judging from the shape of these rooms, they should be storage rooms for the Crystallizers. Although there are not as many crystal cores as there are in the Crystal Core Warehouse, there are still things that the Crystallizers can't use, or their trophies."
Ji Yanran pointed to some small round holes on the floor and continued, "Those round holes are actually transportation channels, but only the Crystallizers can open them. They can send things directly into the storage rooms."
Han Sen did not know much about this. After listening to Ji Yanran carefully, he pointed to the storage rooms whose doors were not opened and asked, "Why didn't Li Mingtang open these doors?"
Ji Yanran walked to a storage room that was not opened. She stared at the patterns on the door for a while and said, "I know too little about the culture of the Crystallizers, so I don't understand the meaning of these patterns. But it is very likely that the patterns mean something, such as danger or warning, so Li Mingtang and the others did not open these rooms."
"That makes sense." Han Sen nodded and continued to follow Ji Yanran.
Previously, Han Sen controlled the substitute of the beetle knight to lure Li Mingtang and the others in. Because it was a substitute, Han Sen didn't have too many scruples. He ran all the way and didn't stop until he got rid of Li Mingtang and the others.
The stand-in was now in a place similar to an underground plaza. There were many strange statues of crystallizer gods everywhere.
At this point, there were many forks in the road. Han Sen didn't dare to let the substitute continue forward. He turned a few times and found a huge statue. He climbed up and hid in the statue's ear.
After a while, Han Sen saw Li Mingtang, Wang Hou, and the others enter the underground square. They seemed to have some extra things on them. He wondered where they got them from.
"Han Sen, that brat, runs really fast. Isn't he afraid of dying in there?"
Xiao Zhang, a researcher, looked around and didn't see Han Sen. He couldn't help but snort.
"He might survive if he runs faster. If we catch up with him, he will die. If I were him, I would run too," Wang Hou said casually.
"There are so many passages here. I wonder where he went.
If we go in now, Han Sen might turn around and come out. That will be troublesome, "said Xiao Zhang.
Li Mingtang looked at the passages carefully and shook his head. "We can't go in these passages randomly. If we go in the wrong way, we won't be able to come out alive."
"Professor, where do these passages lead to?" Wang Hou frowned and asked.
"These passages all lead to the nursery of the crystallizers. At the end of each passage, there should be a room for crystallizers. The crystallizers value the nursery very much. They must have made some powerful arrangements. Even a surpasser might not be able to come out alive," Li Mingtang explained.
"Are there really crystallizers in there?" Wang Hou asked again.
"Maybe dead ones, but we haven't found any alive ones yet," Li Mingtang said casually.
"Which way is the real way to the crystal core storage?" Hearing that there were no living crystallizers, Wang Hou lost interest and looked around for a way out.
"The real exit isn't in these passages."
Li Mingtang walked to the statues and looked at them carefully. He pointed at a pyramid-shaped statue with a circular pattern on it and said, "The passage should be under this statue. Come and push it away."
The two researchers hurriedly turned on the armor, and then controlled the armor to push the four-meter-tall pyramid-shaped statue to the side.
As expected, there was a passage under the statue after it was pushed away.
However, before Li Mingtang and the others could see the passage, they heard some cracking sounds coming from the passage. Li Mingtang's expression changed. "Come back."
But before the two researchers could react, a golden shadow rushed out of the tunnel. It was a golden crystal that looked like a twelfth order Rubik's cube. The small squares kept spinning, and for some unknown reason, it was able to float in the air.
After the Rubik's Cube rushed out, the square on its body rotated. Suddenly, a laser beam shot out from it. The laser beam was several meters long. The Rubik's Cube rotated a few times. The Rubik's Cube flashed a few times and cut a researcher's armor into pieces.
The other researcher was shocked. He pulled out his laser gun and shot at the golden Rubik's cube. However, the golden Rubik's cube quickly dodged the attack and approached the armor quickly.
Crack!
The golden Rubik's cube rotated a few more times. The golden light blade flashed and cut the remaining armor into pieces. Of course, the people inside couldn't survive.
After cutting the armor, the golden Rubik's cube rotated again and flew toward Li Mingtang.
Li Mingtang took out something like a grenade and threw it into the distance. Suddenly, there was a dull sound in the distance. The golden Rubik's cube gave up on Li Mingtang and rushed toward the place where the sound came from.
"Let's go." Li Mingtang quickly rushed down the passage and Wang Hou hurried to follow him.
The golden Rubik's cube rotated a few times at the place where the grenade exploded. It seemed to know that it had been tricked. It turned around and chased into the passage, disappearing from Han Sen's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Fortunately, I peeked here. Otherwise, when Ji Yanran and I came here, I'm afraid we wouldn't even know how we died."
While Han Sen was thinking, he suddenly saw something crawling out of the place where Li Mingtang's special grenade exploded.
Han Sen immediately broke out in a cold sweat after taking a glance at it.
From the crack of the crystal, a little guy that looked like a rhinoceros beetle and was green all over like a piece of crystal art crawled out.
