Chapter 174
Ryan didn't dare touch the skeletons lying in front of the steps, for fear of triggering some kind of curse from a vengeful spirit.
However, he didn't expect that after the red-robed mages from Glory City broke in and delivered a wave of equipment, they accidentally destroyed the skeletons, allowing him to unexpectedly obtain the [Thunder Totem].
Having obtained such a treasure, Ryan was in a very good mood.
…
Now that the bronze door is closed, there is no need to worry about someone suddenly breaking in.
The gargoyle above his head also obeyed Ryan's orders, so it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.
Canossa suddenly felt very relaxed. She spread out a thick cashmere mat, crawled on it naked with a natural expression, and enjoyed Ryan's treatment.
She looked at Ryan's red face and heavy breathing, and said in a low voice: "Doctor Ryan, is the harvest good? You look so happy..."
Although it was a question, from her tone, it seemed that she had no intention of finding out what kind of spoils she had obtained.
Ryan also felt that there was nothing to hide, and shared his joy with a smile: "Yes. I found a treasure that is very important for my extraordinary advancement..."
"oh."
Canossa listened and smiled slightly.
There is no doubt that the patriarch of the Miller Family, one of the five major families in Glory City, must have some valuable treasures.
What's more, there are two strange beads found in the ashes of the skeleton before.
But no matter what it was, even if it was a divine weapon, Canossa had no interest in asking. She felt that it was something that Ryan deserved and belonged to him.
Thinking of this, she looked at the blood-red crystal under the statue again, her eyes filled with complexity.
Without Ryan, she might never have the chance to see this thing in her life, let alone get it.
After thinking about it, she finally couldn't help but said, "Dr. Ryan, I have something to discuss with you."
Ryan, who was stitching up her waist muscles, was slightly stunned. The tone sounded too polite and he was a little uncomfortable with it.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
"that……"
Kanossa seemed to find it difficult to speak , and after hesitating for a long while, he finally said, "Can you give me that 'Divine Power Crystal' to help me comprehend it for a few years? I'll return it to you when you need it..."
After a pause, she explained, "The concentration of that blood crystal seems to be very high. It is very likely a 'God-given item' that has never been passed down..."
"ah?"
Ryan didn't expect that Canossa hesitated for a long time and actually said this.
Even though the door opened by itself, he also controlled the gargoyle using the demon language.
But if he came alone, he would have no chance to try to control the gargoyle with demon language, and he might not even dare to enter the temple. Even if he entered, as soon as he climbed the stairs, any monster that came down would punch him to death.
There would be no possibility of obtaining the complete 72 Body Refining Diagrams of the [Mighty Demon God], nor would there be any spoils of war from the next wave of great wizards, and it would be even more impossible to discover the [Thunder Totem] hidden in the pile of bones.
He felt that, based on the distribution of contributions to the team... it was completely what Canossa deserved to get the "Crystal of Divine Power".
Canossa was not sure what Ryan's "ah" meant, and suddenly felt a little nervous.
Although "stepping into legend" is her lifelong dream, she cannot do such ungrateful and unscrupulous things.
And, while she had once considered the young doctor merely an amusing visitor, she now considered him an ally and a close friend.
…
Ryan's fingers were still on the lady's slender waist. He clearly felt her nervous expression for a moment and laughed heartily: "That's what you deserve, madam... Why are you asking me?"
Kanosa's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he felt embarrassed: "But...it's obviously because of you that I can survive..."
"Without you, ma'am, I might not be alive today."
Ryan smiled and shook his head, then said, "Besides, I don't need such high-end things for the time being."
He wasn't being polite; it was the truth.
Things like "Crystal of Divine Power" are still too far away for him, and he is not sure whether he can use it in this lifetime.
High-level transcendents cannot be advanced simply by having genetic potions.
Especially after the third level [Demon Hunter], every breakthrough of a gene chain requires great luck. Those thresholds blocked 99% of low-level extraordinary people. Many people were stuck at the first and second levels for their entire lives.
It is not to be said whether Ryan can advance to the fifth level of transcendence in this life. Even if there is no bottleneck along the way, no matter how monstrous his talent is, it will probably take 10 to 20 years to reach the level of perfection of the fifth level and comprehend the "magic solution".
Besides.
Canossa was right.
If one day he really needs it, he can return it.
"Divine Power Crystal" is a consumable item, but it cannot be consumed all at once.
Now, whether it is excavated from the ruins or still in existence, they are actually the "crystallization of laws" condensed by the seventy-two demon gods themselves.
That kind of thing is like a candle. When it is lit (in the state of magic release), it illuminates the darkness. How much of the illuminated world you can see clearly depends entirely on your own understanding.
If the candle has not burned out when you die, the remaining part can be passed on to the next person.
Ryan once heard from Bazel that a complete crystal of divine power could be passed down for more than a dozen generations, or thousands of years...
The "divine power crystal" can absorb the divine power in other crystals to extend the "ignition time".
So this is why, even though the “Ten Legends” already have the crystallization, they will still try their best to grab this kind of thing.
Although Ryan didn't quite understand the purity of this thing, looking at the black red of the blood crystal, it was very likely that it was a "first-hand item" that had never been passed down.
Even if Canossa spent his whole life to comprehend it, it might not consume much.
Moreover, not saying it doesn’t count as “borrowing”.
Ryan thought that since she was willing to "request", she obviously regarded him as an equal friend.
Emotionally and logically, there is nothing to worry about.
…
Canossa didn't expect that Ryan would give the "Crystal of Divine Power" to him without hesitation.
But she felt that her judgment of people was always good, and as friends, it was natural for them to interact with each other.
She didn't hesitate, smiled knowingly, and said softly, "Thank you."
Ryan also smiled, without stopping the stitching action in his hands, as if he didn't care.
Then, Canossa discovered that his "ultimate goal" was suddenly about to be achieved, and his mood became even better.
Her eyes turned and she asked curiously, "Doctor Ryan, you not only saved me, but also helped me so much. How can I thank you?"
Now that they are familiar with each other, they can joke around.
Ryan said casually: "Or... pledge your love to me? Then we don't have to be so reserved."
Hearing this, Canossa naturally did not want to be outdone, and asked with a joking look in his eyes: "Are you after money or sex?"
Ryan said half-truthfully: "It's all."
"Oh, you have a big heart."
Canossa covered her mouth and chuckled, and said deliberately: "Well... It's not that I can't consider it. It's just that you are a little young. After all, you call me 'Madam'."
Ryan didn't think she took it seriously. This was obviously another example of "flirting but not burying".
He also looked nonchalant, and replied faintly: "Actually... it's not small."
Canossa was stunned and then spat.
“Pah~!”
Ryan laughed. After being teased for years, he finally got a point back.
…
The suture operation lasted for about forty hours before Ryan completely sutured Canossa's ruptured muscles one by one.
After recovering from his injuries, Canossa felt that he was in great shape.
Then they naturally turned their attention to the "Crystal of Divine Power" and the bone spear on the altar.
After observing carefully for a long time, I still didn't see any obvious danger.
After making all kinds of preparations, the two still used the dumbest method - stepping on the landmine with their bodies.
Ryan was still hiding in the distance, and Canossa was even ready to risk his life to get the crystal.
Then, after a breath-taking slow-motion test, she found that there was no danger at all, and she easily took the crystal in her hand.
It seemed that as soon as they stepped onto the steps and were able to reach the altar alive, they were qualified to get those things.
Of course, the harvest also included the bone spear weighing several tons.
Kanossa was satisfied with his harvest of blood crystal and had no interest in the bone spear at all.
Ryan guessed it was a "magic weapon", but he had trouble even picking it up, so he could only put it in his storage ring.
Now everyone is happy .
Canossa planned to absorb the "Crystal of Divine Power" on the spot to avoid any further trouble.
Ryan also felt that this underground ruins, which the great witch priest Mafa said was "one can enter but no exit", had more strength and a greater chance of survival, so he began to integrate the [Thunder Totem].
Anyway, they have enough supplies and there is no need to rush.
With the door closed, several days passed in a flash.
…
"It's done!"
Ryan's fusion of [Thunder Totem] was very smooth. It was originally an external equipment and did not require any comprehension threshold.
Just drip blood to fuse it and let the totem integrate into the body surface.
The process felt like getting a big tattoo on my back. The thick purple dragon patterns in the totem beads seemed to come alive and were imprinted on my skin.
Moreover, what made Ryan feel very satisfied was that this [Thunder Totem] did not cover his face, but was just below the collarbone, covering the entire upper body, hips and legs.
Before, he was a little worried that the totem would affect his handsome face, but now it is just right.
When I put on the clothes, others couldn't tell anything was wrong.
When the totem came into his body, he immediately felt the pleasure of "cheating" cultivation.
The thunder element totem operates automatically and endlessly.
In this temple where the "demon energy of the abyss" was originally very strong, Ryan's cultivation speed was originally three to five times that outside the pit. Now with the blessing of the totem power, it has skyrocketed several times!
Moreover, he obviously felt that the thunder element was much more "intimate" to him.
Even if he didn't actively meditate and absorb, the lightning elements floating around him would move closer to him. Then he activated the "Thunder Breathing", and lightning flashed all over his body, making him look like an electric man.
Ryan was very sure that with this speed of cultivation, he would be able to reach the second level of fighting spirit in no time.
On his extraordinary journey, his vehicle was changed from a small electric donkey to a jet plane...
…
Two days later,
A powerful pressure suddenly burst out from Canossa, making Ryan feel breathless.
Her eyes shone brightly, and behind her appeared a phantom of a god or demon that looked exactly like the stone statue in the square.
Canossa, successfully entered the "Legendary Realm"!
…
And it happens that
Just when Ryan and the others were planning to stay for a few days to consolidate their condition.
Suddenly, the tightly closed bronze door of the temple slowly opened.
Ryan didn't expect that someone could open the temple door from the outside, which required the "ancient demon language" to open.
After thinking again, he immediately stopped Canossa who was about to attack in anger.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard a loud shout.
"There's a smell of blood! Be careful, everyone !"
The loud and recognizable voice was none other than our old acquaintance Basel.
Then, those people who came in from outside were also stunned when they saw two living people in this temple that had been sealed for countless years.
"Senior Bazel? The Great Priest of Mafa?"
"What the hell, Ryan boy! Why are you here?!"
Before the two parties had time to reminisce about the past, there were concentrated and terrifying noises coming from outside the door.
"Quick! Close the door first! Don't let that monster in!"
