Chapter 745: Crystal Fragments
Underground world, poisonous fog cave.
The originally tense atmosphere had completely disappeared. As the saying goes, we are all brothers...
"Crystal Flower, do you know... Diancie?"
After a brief reminisce, Lin Shi asked about the Crystal Flower again. After all, Diancie said that they seemed to have had contact before.
"Dianci..."
"Oh, you mean Princess Diancie? Of course I know her."
After a brief thought, the Crystal Flower nodded, then looked at Lin Shi strangely. It couldn't have imagined that the human in front of it actually knew Diancie. It could only be said that he was worthy of being the trainer of the Eternal Flower.
"Princess Diancie was the leader of the underground world at the time. She was not only the princess of the Mineral Kingdom, but also managed the entire underground world. When the doomsday came, she was the one who stood on the front line to resist it."
Crystal Flower said with admiration, it seems that compared to Eternal Flower who is a friend, Diancie is more like Crystal Flower's idol.
"Diamond didn't expect you to be so amazing?"
Xuwu Yide said in surprise, not knowing how this name was come up with, and ignored Lin Shi's continued questioning.
"So what happened next? Where did Diancie go?"
Lin Shi’s question caused Jingguanghua to fall into a long silence. Finally, she shook her head and said with some regret.
"I'm sorry I don't know much. When the apocalypse first came, although the underground world was relatively safe, we all knew that it was only temporary. In order to protect the underground world, Diancie made a decision and left here. I remember that she seemed to be looking for something..."
"At that time, I also made a decision. In order to better protect the tribe, I chose to use the petals of the Eternal Flower and Diancie's diamond fragments to advance to the championship. For this, I inevitably fell into a deep sleep."
"During this period of slumber, I reached a deal with Princess Diancie. It will protect our tribe, and we, the Crystal Flower Clan, must guard this passage forever and prevent any creature from entering the real underground world!"
Crystal Flower said this in one breath, and Diancie, who heard all this, was extremely shocked. It had no impression of any of this at all.
"Why do you do this? What is there in the underground world?"
It seems that the water in the underground world is indeed very deep, and even Diancie at that time seemed to be taboo about it.
This time, Jingguanghua still shook her head.
"I don't know. Maybe only Diancie knows. But judging from what it said at the time, the things in the underground world are probably as terrible as the Doomsday Disaster. They are existences that may destroy the underground world. For safety reasons, it asked our tribe to block this place."
"After all, as elves that can produce poisonous fog and possess corrosive properties, and that have cultivated many poisonous flowers due to the power of the Eternal Flower, we are the best elves to block space."
"And since I took on this responsibility, it has continued until now. Unfortunately, when I became the champion and woke up, the end of the world had already come to an end. The world was on the verge of collapse. I have never seen Princess Diancie again, and I don't know how she is doing."
Crystal Flower said with a sigh, seeming a little worried about Diancie.
But Lin Shi roughly understood where Diancie had gone at that time. Obviously, it had been sealed in the crystal lotus at that time.
But Jingguanghua said so much but it was the same as not saying anything. He still didn't know why Diancie was sealed? And she was sealed together with Xuwuid, the Ultimate Beast.
However, Lin Shi had a vague guess about what Diancie was looking for in the surface world as mentioned by Crystal Flower.
That's probably... the Tablet of Genesis!
After all, Sidoran once said that when the end of the world comes, only the Slate of Creation can provide temporary safe shelter. This is why so many legendary elves were fighting for the slate at that time.
Now it seems that for the sake of the elves of the entire underground world, Diancie may also embark on the path of fighting for the stone slab.
"If that's the case...hiss..."
Lin Shi muttered to himself silently, then took a breath and had a bad idea in his mind.
"Lin Shi, what are you doing? What did you think of?"
Sensing Lin Shi's expression, Xuwuyide asked in confusion, but Lin Shi shook his head.
“No, it adds to global warming.”
Xuwuid: ...
Shaking his head, Lin Shi put these things aside for the time being. Anyway, the seal had not been lifted yet, and other things were not important yet. He should consider another thing now.
Judging from the current situation, they probably have no way to go to the underground world through here. In other words, after what Crystal Flower said, even if they can find other ways to the underground world, he has to consider whether to let the elves go and explore.
He is not one of those smart characters on TV who knows there might be huge danger hidden there, but still stubbornly goes there. Isn't that just turning on the light in the toilet - looking for death?
Moreover, during this period, a large part of the entire upper underground world has only been explored but not developed. Considering the current size of the elves, this area is already very large.
Rather than continuing to explore at the risk of something, it is better to stabilize first, consume these resources, and then consider other things.
Thinking of this, Lin Shi touched his chin and nodded secretly, then he looked at the crystal flower again.
"There is one more thing I want to ask you. Where did these crystal fragments you carry come from?"
Lin Shi finally asked this question. The poisonous Taijing fragments carried by the Crystal Flower are items that can only be obtained by defeating some Taicrystalized elves in the game. Its function is to help one's elves change the titanium crystal properties at a specific location after collecting a certain number of them.
However, the existence of titanium crystal has not been discovered in this world. So far, the only titanium crystal elf that has been seen is the Eredion. But it is a divine beast, and these abilities may be innate, so there is no way to use them as a reference standard.
Just like when he didn't have super powers yet, he could use Z-moves under Zeraora's guidance, and those were real Z-moves, different from the castrated version he has now.
"Crystal fragments? Is that what you mean?"
A piece of poisonous crystal fragment with a purple halo shining on the crystal flower appeared in front of Lin Shi.
"I don't know either. I found this by accident in a cave. It seems to contain some strange power, so I have been wearing it and trying to harness this power."
"If you need it, I'll give it to you."
As he spoke, the crystal flower swayed gently, and the piece of Taijing fragment floated towards Lin Shi.
"This...you...then I won't be polite."
After a slight refusal, Lin Shi decisively accepted it. Although this thing was of no use to him at present, it was still good for collection research.
"It's okay, I still have a big piece there..."
Said Crystal Flower.
