Chapter 198 Core
Half a quarter of an hour later, Su An and the Holy Envoy sat cross-legged and practiced breathing and breathing, each recovering to their normal state.
Su An had no intention of actually taking action. He just threatened the Holy Envoy, hoping that the other party would give up and hand over the box. Since the other party was full of momentum, he could only choose to postpone it.
A few hours later, the Holy Envoy's condition recovered a lot, and the two left the library and headed to the next treasure location.
Su An picked out some skill secrets and put them into his tactical backpack. They were all the best that extraordinary people could practice. Su An planned to take them back to the members of the Anxia Sect for use.
As for himself, of course he covets what Li Changan left behind.
However, he has now reached a balance of strength with the Holy Envoy. As there is no need to risk his life until the last moment, the things can only be carried by the Holy Envoy temporarily.
It depends on who they meet first.
If they encounter a rebel army, then the Holy Envoy must hand over the treasure no matter how fierce his appearance is. If he encounters a demon monk... Su An is not without a chance.
After getting to the bottom of it, he is also a demon clan and possesses the power of a top-level bloodline.
The Holy Envoy took the lead, and the two of them walked quickly along the stone path in the secret place in the mountain, passing through large or small stone chambers from time to time. Their next destination is the institute.
"What's in the research institute?" Su An kept an eye on the Holy Envoy to prevent her from tampering with any formations and giving him a surprise attack.
The Holy Messenger's answer was very simple, only two words:
"core."
When the two came to the square outside the institute, there were already one or two hundred people here.
There were both demons and humans. The two sides fought together, and corpses lay scattered on the ground. There were especially many broken limbs and remains in front of the gate.
The holy envoy saw the old man in black robes, who was blocking the door with dozens of monks. All of those monks were high-level warriors, and the lowest cultivation level was at level eight. They were obviously mainly Sword of Dawn.
Most of the human extraordinary beings were no match for this group of people. They did not dare to approach the gate rashly, so they had to fight hand-to-hand with the intermediate demon cultivators in the square.
Su An was familiar with the team that mainly attacked the gate. He saw Zheng Nanzhi and Zhu Feng.
Zheng Nanzhi was safe and sound, and Su An was relieved.
The battle was fierce, and people were dying or injured every moment. However, neither Su An nor the Holy Envoy was in a hurry to end. They stood on the edge for a while.
This time it was the Holy Messenger who spoke first, and her words made people confused: "Silly man, I'll give you a chance."
Su An's face was full of lawsuits: "Who are you talking to?"
The Holy Envoy snorted: "Who told you to always call me a brat? It's disrespectful to call me little brat. Now I think you are a big fool and you can't change it."
It was difficult for Su An to agree with the other party: "You are small and young, and you are a brat to begin with. I am a tall and handsome person, so what does it have to do with a stupid big guy?"
The Holy Envoy curled his lips and refused to reason with Su An at all: "I don't care, you are just stupid!"
Su An was silent for a long time, feeling like he had shot himself in the foot. If he hadn't called the Holy Envoy a brat back then, he wouldn't be called a big fool now.
The holy envoy urged: "Silly man, do you want to seize this opportunity?"
"What chance?" Su An was helpless.
"You are an elf yourself, and your bloodline is not bad. Come back to the North with me, and follow me from now on. I guarantee you a bright future!" Lily patted her chest and promised confidently and boldly.
Su An ruthlessly exposed the other party: "My bloodline power is just good? Isn't it stronger than yours? Even if I go to the north, you will be fooling me."
Lily turned to stare at her, with ten thousand dissatisfactions written on her delicate pink face: "Who said your bloodline is stronger than mine? I am the strongest holy envoy in the North!
"The fact that you can open the restriction left by King Li Sheng only proves that you are closer to him by blood than me. Don't think too much!"
Su An looked at Lily with a look like a thief: "Since you admit that I am close to Li Changan, it means that the box should be mine. Bring it."
Lily's pretty face turned pale, she felt guilty and angry: "You, you are talking nonsense! I will never give it to you!"
Su An said: "You are just a robber. You keep claiming that the extraordinary beings who enter the ruins are robbers, but you don't know that you are the same type. You take other people's things and don't return them, bah!"
Lily was stunned, her mouth wide open and speechless for a long time.
After a while, the young holy envoy decided to break the pot and walked towards the square: "I don't care about you! You can do whatever you want. The road is open to the sky, let's go to each side!"
Su An grabbed her and said, "You want to leave without leaving your things?"
Lily struggled a few times but couldn't break free. She suddenly became furious and bared her teeth at Su Anhao, like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "If you don't let go, I'm going to beat you!"
Su An was unmoved: "It's useless to bite me."
After a while, the two bypassed the fiercely fighting crowd in the square and came to the gate of the research institute together. The demon monks nearby were all overjoyed to see Lily, and the old man in black robes quickly sent someone over to help.
"Open the door and let them in." Lily, who had her little hands behind her back and a stern face, ordered in a deep voice. The power of the Holy Envoy was boundless.
"Yes." The old man in black robe bowed to accept the order, then looked at Su An, who was walking side by side with Lily, frowning slightly and looking deeply, but said nothing.
This scene happened to fall in Zheng Nanzhi's eyes, and she quickly motioned to Zhu Feng to see: "What's going on? Why is Su An hanging out with the demon monks? Is he being held hostage?"
Zhu Feng's expression changed, his eyes were complicated, but there was no panic like Zheng Nanzhi's. Seeing the demon monks withdrawing into the research institute in an orderly manner, he immediately called for a group of extraordinary people to follow them.
Like the library, the research institute also has several floors with a vast space. The lower floors are warehouses for various experimental materials and various laboratories. They are still neat and tidy, but they are no longer bright.
Su An, Lily and others climbed up the stairs and soon reached the top floor.
The old man in black robe wanted to block the door, but was rejected by the Holy Envoy, so Zhu Feng, Zheng Nanzhi and others were able to follow him into the top space smoothly.
The stone chamber is large and can accommodate hundreds of people without any problem.
There were more than a hundred extraordinary people who entered the door with Zhu Feng, but there were only forty or fifty resistance fighters with him now. The rest had already rushed into the laboratories and storage rooms on each floor, busy collecting treasures.
The reason why Lily asked the demon monks to open the door was because they expected this scene. The extraordinary people were scattered everywhere, and there were not many people to compete with them for the core.
Originally, the number of demon monks was at an absolute disadvantage, but now the two sides are equally matched in strength. In addition, the demon clan has a home field advantage, and the certainty of successfully obtaining the core is greatly increased.
When everyone arrived at the top-floor vault, Lily stood still in front of the door, turned to glance at Su An, as if the old god was there and held the pearl of wisdom. As soon as her eyes met Su An's, she snorted proudly. , stepping forward with two long ponytails swinging.
What seals the vault is of course the formation.
There are many kinds of formations of the demon clan, but almost every formation uses the power of blood. And every formation that uses the power of blood often takes it as the core.
Therefore, the power in the blood is often the key. It can repair the formation, destroy the formation, complete the formation, or open the formation.
There was a stone platform in front of the vault that was similar to the stone room on the top floor of the library. Lily came to the stone platform and took out the dagger. This time she did not slit her wrist, but after a brief pause, she slit her palm.
The moment blood dripped onto the stone platform, the atmosphere in the stone room suddenly became tense.
Most of the monster monks turned around, glaring at the extraordinary beings with their swords drawn horizontally. Zhu Feng, Zheng Nanzhi and others were also in full formation, ready to fight at any time.
The core treasure of the secret realm of the main peak is in the research institute. This is information that the resistance has long grasped, and it is also the reason why they are here now.
Now that the "core" is about to appear, everything comes to a head.
Unlike others, Zheng Nanzhi does not pay so much attention to the "core", or in other words, compared to Su An, the "core" is not the most important to her.
Her eyes fell on Su An.
Su An cast a relieved look at her.
Zheng Nanzhi was slightly relieved, but he didn't dare to really feel relieved.
Su An reassured Zheng Nanzhi that he was not trying to make a fool of himself. He had his own reasons. The reason why he decided to enter the research institute with Lily and was not afraid of being surrounded by demon monks was because Su An could guarantee that at least he would not will die.
At worst, if he goes to the North, Lily has no reason to kill him. Is she really worried about being sliced into pieces?
Taking risks is for profit, and the biggest benefit is undoubtedly the opportunity to become stronger. Whether it is what Li Changan left behind or the core of the research institute, you must always work hard whenever you have the opportunity.
In comparison, the sect's power is just scratching the surface.
With Li Anxin watching over him, and considering the attitude of the rebels towards him, Su An was not worried about what would happen to the Anxia Sect after he left temporarily.
As Lily's blood dripped into the stone platform, the formation was activated as expected, and the pattern patterns glowed brightly. The entire stone room was enveloped in layers of formation glow, and the quiet light and red tide touched everyone present. people.
While everyone was waiting quietly with bated breath, the door to the vault was not opened.
As time passed by, Lily's little face fell down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Su An looked on and wanted to laugh, but he held it back. He knew what was going on, and this situation was not beyond his expectations.
Lily took a deep breath, turned to look at Su An bitterly, gritted her teeth and said, "You idiot, come here!"
Su An spread his hands and didn't move. The demon monks on the side, including the old man in black robe, all looked gloomy as if they had seen a ghost in the daytime.
It has become obvious that the situation in the secret realm of the main peak was unexpected by the demon clan authorities. Since the demon clan team entering the ruins was led by Lily, they must have thought that the power of Lily's bloodline was enough to activate all the formations in the secret realm and bring them with them. Get back what they want.
The northern demon clan has all the information about the ruins, and their judgment should not be wrong.
However, whether it was the formation on the top floor of the library or the formation in the vault of the research institute in front of her, Lily's blood power could not make them obey.
What's the problem?
Of course it was Li Changan, the former Holy King of the Monster Clan.
Li Changan had entered the ruins before and put all his life's efforts here in order to leave it to his descendants. So how can he ensure that the person who gets his inheritance is not other extraordinary beings and monster monks, but his own descendants?
Of course it depends on the formation.
Lily said that Li Changan had repaired the ruins formation. It was based on this foundation that the northern monster clan could now enter the ruins after two thousand years and harvest the legacy of the ancient monster clan.
Did Li Changan just repair the formation?
Naturally not.
On the basis of repairing the original formations in the library and research institute, he arranged a new formation to serve as a blockade. Only descendants with the power of his bloodline can break the sealing formation.
There is no doubt that this person is Su An!
This is why Lily can't open the top array of the library, but Su An can.
The formation on the top floor of the library ensured that Su An could obtain Li Changan's inheritance, but Li Changan was not satisfied with this. He also banned the formation on the top floor of the institute in order to let his descendants, namely Su An, you can get the "core" of the ruins.
This is a bit of a hooliganism.
After all, the "core" of the ruins is not Li Changan's own.
Because of this, the Holy Envoy and the old man in black robes have gloomy faces now.
As Li Changan, who is expected to become the strongest holy king in the history of the demon clan, or the elves, there is no doubt about his strength. This is because the ruins cannot tolerate warrior-level energy fluctuations, but Li Changan can enter the ruins and lay out layers of formations. You can tell.
What can be confirmed is that the current Saint King of the Monster Clan is not as powerful as Li Changan.
If not, the other party could, like Li Changan, enter the ruins on his own and pack away the ancient demon clan's heritage. Why would there be any need to send soldiers over with great fanfare and create the current scene of chaotic fighting between all parties?
Li Changan was powerful enough to ignore the rules of the ruins, at least some of the rules of the ruins. The formation he set up stipulated that it could only be opened by his descendants, so it could only be opened by his descendants.
No one can change this restriction.
Therefore, at this moment, Su An became the focus of the audience.
He has absolute control over whether to open the vault!
Everyone was looking at him, especially the demon monks, who looked at him with particularly complicated eyes. The demon monks who do not have enough status cannot fully understand all this, but beings like the old man in black robes already know Su An's identity very well!
