Magic Tech’s Lair

While Cao Yan was studying how to open the box, members of the Pet Master Association and the Mage Association were exploring other areas of the ruins.

Eggy and the ant colony were also secretly operating in the ruins.

When the ant colony is not forming a group, they are not afraid of being discovered at all. No one will find it strange that there are ants in the ruins, and they will not think of the amazing things these little guys can do.

The ant colony is now divided into two waves. The first wave silently collects the bones of various ancient monsters scattered throughout the ruins. This is to take them back to enrich the gene pool of the spacecraft.

They put all the bones and residues they collected into the small maze box, they were not lazy at all, they were very serious.

There is also a wave of ants that are in charge of detecting the ruins, looking for treasures everywhere.

So the busiest people in the ruins are not the people from the two major associations, but a nest of ants.

Dandan was put into the ruins by Cao Yan since the dark creatures gushed out from behind the door.

In a state of shadow, it watched the confrontation between the people of the association and the dark creatures from a distance.

When most of the dark creatures died under the flame attack launched by Chang Mu and others, a few began to flee and scattered to all over the ruins, and Eggy followed.

It wants to stay in the ruins for the purpose of these dark creatures with the same attributes as itself.

They are the prey of the balls.

...

some corner of the ruins.

Suddenly there was a shadow covering a dark creature.

The shadow was Eggy, and it began to attack the fleeing dark creatures.

Burned by the flames, these dark creatures were already extremely weak, and their thin black air mass-like bodies were about to dissipate.

In this case, the resistance ability is naturally not too strong. Eggy's hunting process is unremarkable, and she hardly encounters any decent resistance.

And Eggy itself also has dark attributes, absorbing dark creatures is effortless.

This is also the time when the Malaysian girl came to find Cao Yan and let him enter the ruins again.

At that time, Cao Yan peeked at the screen through the assistant of the pet master to check the behavior of Dandan, and a message was pushed on the screen:

[Your demon pet Eggy absorbed a weak dark creature, and the third-order evolutionary value increased by 1%, reaching 48%]

[Your magic pet Eggy absorbed a weak dark creature, and its evolution value increased by 1%, reaching 49%]

[Your demon pet Dandan... The evolutionary value increased by 1%, reaching 50%; the dark creature was absorbed, and a core substance was left behind, which was obtained by Dandan...]

Since the dark creatures are in a weak state after being burned by the flames, the 'energy' obtained by Eggy hunting is not much, and the evolution value increases slowly, but it is better than stability. Every time one is absorbed, it grows by 1%.

Cao Yan hadn't had time to check the dark biological core substance obtained by Dandan through the assistant's screen, but was called away by the Malaysian girl, and entered the underground base to study how to open the treasure chest.

At this moment, in the underground ruins.

Cao Yan held the calculation results of Ji Wen and Shang Fang, walked to the box, and started to open the box formally.

The process of opening the door was very smooth. In fact, there was a certain element of luck. At that time, Cao Yan really planned to try it. If it didn’t work, he would study other methods, but he didn’t expect to get the opening point of the door and open the door directly.

At this time, opening the box was not so smooth. Cao Yan tried a few times, but all failed.

He squatted beside the box and frowned. The master-level semiotics knowledge in his mind was operating at a high speed, and he constructed a three-dimensional structure-like pattern at the level of consciousness, corresponding to the symbols on the box. Then disassemble these symbols into groups and try again and again to find the correct opening method.

Using the virtual deconstruction process in his mind as a reference, he touched the symbols on the box again and again, trying to unlock the secret lock on it.

The deconstruction process of semiotics requires enough patience and luck.

Cao Yan tried back and forth for nearly an hour, and the deconstruction process in his mind became clearer and clearer. Some methods that failed,

He keeps splitting it out, and the rest will naturally get closer and closer to the correct answer.

In the eyes of others, Cao Yan's hands kept touching the symbols on the box, which made people jaw-dropping.

The densely packed symbols on the box decreased one after another under his operation, and one by one they collapsed and disappeared.

If it is said that when opening the door, Cao Yan used accurate judgment in thinking, and he hit it with one blow. At this time, pure semiotic knowledge is used.

Crack!

Suddenly there was a soft sound from inside the box.

The center of the airtight and seamless box was dented, and there was a trace of a handle.

"It's done," everyone looked happy.

When the treasure chest was opened, Cao Yan let out a long breath.

"I'll come," Chang Mu said happily.

He was afraid that if there were organs in the box, Cao Yan's rank was not high, and he might be in danger.

Chang Mu stepped forward to hold the handle of the box and pushed it up. There was no other accident, the box slowly opened, and a halo of light diffused out.

Get rich!

The box is full of crystal nuclei of monsters. Because of their different attributes, they emit colorful halos and have a strong elemental atmosphere.

Changmu Probe picked up a crystal nucleus from the box, squeezed it, and the crystal nucleus shattered with a click.

He shook his head and said, "It's been too long. Although the crystal nucleus is sealed in the box, the power contained in it is still lost, and the preciousness has dropped a lot."

Having said that, the crystal nucleus of this box is still very valuable.

Cao Yan looked at the surrounding boxes, there were 21 in total. If most of the boxes were filled with crystal nuclei, the number would be astonishing.

How many monsters have to be hunted to gather so many crystal nuclei?

Considering the many skeletons of monsters in the ruins, Cao Yan felt that the destruction of the ruins might be related to the fact that too many monsters were hunted, causing the monsters to backlash, leading to the outbreak of the beast tide, and impacting the ruins.

After successfully opening a treasure chest, and then opening other chests, the difficulty is relatively reduced.

For the next two days, Cao Yan spent the cycle of resting and then working, cooperating with Ji Wen, Shang Fang and others to open new boxes one after another.

Most of these boxes are Warcraft crystal nuclei, but there are also other things. One of the boxes contains a black crown, which is a magic item and is very precious.

The crown is inlaid with a huge magic gem, if it falls into the hands of a mage, it can play a role in blessing magic power.

In another box, many ancient books were found, but they were seriously damaged, and they needed to be brought back to the association for restoration before they could know what was recorded in them.

These items will be divided among the two major associations.

Of course, Cao Yan contributed a lot in the process of opening the ruins, and his share was also indispensable.

However, Cao Yan is actually more concerned about the harvest in the dark. The ants have used this time to go to many places where people from the two major associations have not yet set foot...

What puzzled him was that the reminder that the task was completed still did not appear.

It stands to reason that the mission requires him to enter the core area of ​​the ruins, so it should have been completed long ago, right?
