"Monitor!"
Seeing Li Lu's armor explode, the two soldiers behind him started shooting at the red crystal armor crazily.
"Come in! Come back!" Ji Yanran shouted at the two soldiers, but it was too late.
The two soldiers had destroyed a few of the red crystal armors, but more of the red crystal armors had penetrated their armor.
"Let's go!" Han Sen shouted and pushed Ji Yanran's armor.
Han Sen was touched to see his own kind die, even though they were not familiar with each other. But now was not the time to be sad. He couldn't watch Ji Yanran die like those soldiers.
Ji Yanran came back to her senses. She gritted her teeth and steered the armor into the ruin. They had to get away from the simulated crystals. Otherwise, she and Han Sen would die.
Behind the black crystal gate was a crystal tunnel. Ji Yanran led Han Sen forward, but they did not dare to walk too fast. Not long after, they saw the red crystal armor that was made from simulated crystals catching up with them.
"Don't worry about it. Run!"
Han Sen knew Ji Yanran was worried about the traps in the ruin, but if they didn't run now, they would die.
The team of experts must have entered the ruin, too. If there were any traps, they must have triggered them already.
Ji Yanran heard Han Sen's shout and understood. She activated the armor and ran as fast as she could. But after a few thousand meters, they ran into a giant building that looked like an air-raid shelter. There were many tunnels in the building, like the windows of an octagonal pagoda.
"Where are we going?"
Ji Yanran looked at the tunnels, but they were all the same. She couldn't tell where they should go.
The tunnels were too short, too. The armor couldn't go through them.
"Follow me."
Han Sen gritted his teeth and came out of the warframe. He turned the warframe into a suitcase, picked it up, and ran into a tunnel.
Ji Yanran copied Han Sen and followed Han Sen.
Han Sen just entered the tunnel and summoned the snow-toothed wolf. A snow-toothed wolf mount appeared in front of Han Sen, but Han Sen didn't want to ride it. He just ordered it to run.
Han Sen planned to use the snow-toothed wolf to explore the way. He didn't know much about Crystallizer ruins, but since Ji Yanran didn't know what to do, he had to make a decision. Even if he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong, he had to make a decision. Hesitation would only put them in greater danger.
The snow-toothed wolf ran in the front, while Han Sen and Ji Yanran carried the armor case. The tunnels were connected, and although there wasn't any danger, they soon lost their way..
"There seems to be no sound behind us. Let's stop."
They ran to a place that looked like a bridge. Han Sen looked at the creepy crystal statues under the bridge and stopped.
Ji Yanran listened carefully and didn't hear any sound. She felt relieved. Following Han Sen's gaze, she looked at the ten-meter-tall crystal statues.
The statues were made of crystals of different colors. They were all strangely shaped and had nothing to do with humans. They didn't look like animals either. They gave off a strange feeling.
"Those are the gods that the Crystallizers worship. Most Crystallizer ruins have statues like that," Ji Yanran explained as she looked around.
Han Sen didn't seem to be listening to Ji Yanran. He was staring at a crystal statue.
"Come out. Otherwise, don't blame me." Han Sen held the armor case and shouted at the crystal statue.
Ji Yanran looked at the statue with confusion. She didn't see anything, but then she saw a person come out from behind the statue.
"Tang Xin?
Why are you here?
Where are the others? "Ji Yanran frowned when she saw who it was.
"I don't know. We were separated. Why are you guys here?" Tang Xin said as he walked.
Han Sen suddenly pulled out a mini laser gun from his waist and pointed it at Tang Xin. "Stop right there. Otherwise, don't blame me for what happens next."
"Why should I stop?" Tang Xin ignored Han Sen and kept walking toward Han Sen.
Pang!
Without hesitation, Han Sen fired at Tang Xin's head. Half of Tang Xin's brain was blown off.
"Han Sen, what are you doing?" Ji Yanran was shocked. She didn't know why Han Sen had done that.
However, Ji Yanran knew that Han Sen must have his reasons. Although Tang Xin and Han Sen had some conflicts, Ji Yanran knew that Han Sen wasn't the kind of person who would kill over such a small conflict.
Han Sen didn't need to explain. Ji Yanran immediately saw that something was wrong. Tang Xin's head was blown off, but he didn't fall. He just turned around.
Suddenly, she saw that on Tang Xin's back, there was a light red crystal that looked like a duck's egg. It was embedded in the middle of his back. From the crystal, there was a red crystal that was as thick as a hair. It grew densely on Tang Xin's back. It was flashing a weak red light. It was like the rhythm of a heart. It looked strange and disgusting.
"Parasitic crystal core!"
Ji Yanran's face changed. Like Han Sen, she immediately pulled out her gun and aimed at the crystal core on Tang Xin's back, ready to shoot.
Before Ji Yanran fired, she saw red crystal threads that looked like hair coming out of the crystal core. There were thousands of them. They wrapped around Tang Xin like a mummy. Pang! Pang!
Pang! Pang!
Ji Yanran and Han Sen fired a few shots at the mummified Tang Xin, but it was all for naught. When the laser guns hit the blood vessels, they only managed to break a part of them, but they quickly regrown.
"Laser guns are useless. Use beast soul weapons."
Suddenly, a voice came. Han Sen turned around and saw Professor Li Mingtang and a few young people coming out of a passage not far away. It was Li Mingtang who spoke.
Before Han Sen summoned his beast soul, a man rushed out from Li Mingtang's side. He held a beast soul sword and rushed to Tang Xin. The sword in his hand flashed and cut Tang Xin and the crystal core apart. The parasitic crystal core was also cut into pieces.
"This is not a place for cookhouse soldiers," Wang Hou took back his beast soul sword and said to Han Sen coldly.
"Cookhouse soldiers are soldiers," Han Sen said lightly.
"If you want to die, suit yourself."
Wang Hou said scornfully and ignored Han Sen. He walked to Ji Yanran and said, "Captain, why are you here? You shouldn't be here."
