The fighting qi extracted and transformed from life by the special breathing method is not like the spiritual energy or magic power transformed by the mage's spiritual power, it has complex and changeable characteristics, it is a pure energy, if it is not at the high level of silver, it can't even be released from the body and affect the real world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 However, it has a strong ability to strengthen life itself, and can strengthen all kinds of abilities of the owner, including but not limited to muscles, tendons, and five senses.

The natural energy in steel crystals is different.

Elements, magic, all the energy that exists in nature, they will naturally react with other material energy, where the fire element is rich, flame crystals will be formed, where the water element is dense, the deep sea orb will be condensed, and where the elements are poor, even legendary magic equipment will gradually self-destruct due to the natural escape of energy.

"According to my calculations, at the rate at which this steel crystal would dissipate, it would dissipate into invisibility in two hours, but it shows no signs of shrinking at all."

Moria's eyes shone with a golden glow, and his hands flowed with magma-like luster and lines, and the old dwarf said solemnly, "I haven't felt any strange energy in it yet, but there is a sense of chaos...... This alone is worth paying attention to. ”

In that case, things are a little bit interesting.

Joshua stood aside, watching Moria's use of various methods to detect this black-red crystal, he touched his chin and thought, "Nostradamus, Cleel and me, plus this old dwarf, the four of them have come to four similar conclusions through different means...... Damn, where the hell did Hotaru find this thing? ”

Regardless, the four of them agreed on one aspect - there was no doubt that the steel crystal came from a world infested by chaos and on the verge of the end of the world.

"Space-time gates."

This word suddenly popped into Joshua's mind, and he thought thoughtfully: "This crystal should have flowed from the space-time gate that I destroyed, I was too tired at that time, and I rested in place for a long time, and Hotaru should have picked up the steel crystal at this time." ”

As for why you pick it up unsuspectingly...... Even he couldn't tell what this crystal was in the first place, how could Hotaru know? The girl probably thought it was just a pretty stone.

"There's no way to figure out its internal structure by visual inspection alone." Putting the steel crystal back into the box, the old dwarf narrowed his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face became a little heavier: "Looks like I'm going to use some heavy means...... Don't mind, Joshua? ”

"Don't mind." Joshua didn't have much to do with this thing, his knowledge of ancient things and strange things was not enough to identify the source of this steel crystal, since the old dwarf had a way, then simply let him go.

No one knew what the dwarves' heavy methods were, but they could all guess an approximate idea, so no one expressed surprise when Moria didn't know where to pull out a large magic energy resonance detector commonly found in alchemy workshops.

When he put the huge machine, which was three meters tall and had a translucent energy lead dragging behind it, on the ground, the entire forging room trembled, and Moria moved his arm, and then took the steel crystal out of the box again, and said: "I deliberately increased the power of this machine, and it is connected to the black steel furnace core of the core forging area, theoretically speaking, with full output, any substance will be thoroughly analyzed." ”

"Of course, be careful." The old dwarf reminded: "I ordered this instrument from the group of goblins in the west, although there are no problems after using it for two years, there is no guarantee that it will not explode." ”

A product of a goblin?

Hearing this, everyone present instantly cheered up and raised their vigilance, they watched as Moria put this piece of steel crystal into the instrument, and then pressed the start button, subconsciously preparing for defense.

Goblins' alchemy and engineering skills are indeed world-class, but their restless hearts are filled with countless churning inspirations and ideas, and there is no way to calm down and perfect a product to perfection, and the consequence is that most of their products have their own self-detonation capabilities.

"Buzz."

Joshua could sense that a huge stream of pure energy turned into the most subtle energy waves, constantly sweeping back and forth in this instrument, thoroughly analyzing the matter placed in it, and everyone stood at the observation port, looking at the various phenomena generated inside with a serious face, observing the various characteristics and information displayed by the internal steel crystals under this high-frequency energy scan.

A few minutes passed.

"It's indeed a bit abnormal, in this high-energy environment, ordinary energy aggregates, such as flame crystals, have already begun to decompose and resonate rapidly, but this steel crystal does not interact with the outside world at all, and it is extremely stagnant, and it will only unilaterally release a large amount of steel power."

Moriath frowned, and he asserted, "The power is still not enough. As he spoke, the old dwarf moved his fingers and turned up the power a lot.

"Buzz !!"

With a violent humming sound, a terrifying energy that even Joshua was surprised by was surging wildly, and the flickering light on the magic energy resonance detector instantly turned red, and the energy fluctuation strength of the internal detection became stronger, and the depth of detection was further improved.

No matter how inert this steel crystal is, it does not react with external energy, but under this level of stimulation, it will inevitably produce some changes.

"Crackle."

Countless tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the black-red crystal, and before the old dwarf who operated the console could react, the steel crystal suddenly broke automatically, turning into a pile of fine powder.

"What?!"

On the spot, Joshua and Moria, who knew something about the situation, exclaimed, and they shouted loudly almost at the same time: "Impossible! ”

These two people are different from the Divine Machine Boy and the Elven Druid, they clearly know that the resonance detector will at most make the pure energy condensation of Flame Crystal and Steel Crystal gradually dissolve, and it is impossible for them to 'crumble' like ordinary matter.

At this time, a rotating gray vortex appeared in the original location of the crystal, it frantically absorbed the energy fluctuations swept around, absorbing energy, expanding its own volume, and at the same time, an inexplicable aura appeared in the center of the vortex, and it began to release a misty light.

The speed of the light was unavoidable, and everyone present was enveloped by this light in an instant.

Joshua felt that he was the same as when he was in the main city of Moldavia before, when he actively contacted the strange power in the crystal, and was pulled into the illusion, his eyes suddenly darkened, although his consciousness was still awake, but he could not observe the information of the outside world.

A strange force affected his brain and flooded into his soul.
