Chapter 170 (2/2)

As a result, he was slightly disappointed. The quality of these meteorite crystals was really poor. Most of them transformed only 1 crystal, only a few transformed 2 crystal, and none of them transformed 3 crystal.

The 12 meteorite crystals finally contributed only 14 crystals, raising the total number of crystals in Lin Lichuan's hand to 994.

”Still need 6 crystal stones.” Lin Lichuan's spirit was slightly shaken. ”Kill a few more monsters to make up for it.”

”This relic looks like a lot of strange animals. It's a good place to brush crystal stones. When you find your aunt, you may find a chance to stay here for a few months and brush crystal stones.”

He thought to himself.

The battle cost little. The three didn't rest, but continued to move forward. More than ten minutes later, they ran into a strange animal.

But this time it's not a living beast.

Looking intently, a huge corpse of an alien animal lay alone under the half collapsed broken wall. The surface of the corpse was covered with sand and was almost completely buried. If the three people had not excellent eyesight, they would almost ignore the past.

The three looked at each other and stepped forward.

When she came near, Tina waved her hand. The sand covered on the body seemed to be pulled by some invisible traction, and lined up on both sides out of thin air, revealing the shriveled corpses of strange animals below.

Aaron squatted down and looked at it. After a while, his face suddenly showed a look of doubt.

”What's the matter?” Lin Lichuan noticed his expression and asked suspiciously, ”is the body strange?”

Aaron nodded: ”it's really strange. It seems that the beast has just died. It won't last more than a week, but the body is shriveled into this appearance, which is not reasonable.”

He touched the body without any muscle. It was almost skin and bones on the side abdomen, and the traces of bone bulges were clearly visible.

”And there is no sign of injury on the body. It should not have been killed by other creatures.”

Tina looked puzzled when she heard the speech: ”how did it die?”

”Most likely starved to death.”

”Starve to death?” Tina was stunned and immediately responded, ”there is no food in this relic, and it is normal for strange animals to starve to death.”

At this time, Lin Lichuan said, ”no, no, this relic was left over a thousand years ago. If the strange animals would starve to death because of lack of food, the strange animals would have died a long time ago. It is impossible for so many animals to survive.”

Tina was stunned at the thought.

”That's right.”

Aaron nodded as if he thought of something and took out a dagger from his body.

”Do you remember the feature that exotic animals can recover from injuries by swallowing meteorite? It is said that meteorite crystals in their bodies also have the same function and can extract energy from them to heal injuries.”

Hearing this, Lin Lichuan already understood: ”you mean that meteorite crystals can not only restore the injury of exotic animals, but also provide the energy they need for daily survival.”

”This is just my guess.”

Aaron whispered, waved a dagger into the beast, stripped the body and began to search. It was a long time before it was over, shook his head and got up.

”There are no meteorite crystals in the body.”

”... it seems that your guess is right.” Lin Lichuan said thoughtfully.

This can explain why the meteorite crystal in the previously killed alien is of such poor quality. Obviously, too much energy is extracted for survival. Once the energy is exhausted and the meteorite crystal disappears, the alien will die and become like the corpse in front of him.

”I see. These animals survived in this way,” Tina said. ”Their vitality is too tenacious.”

The girl said it casually, but Lin Lichuan looked a little moved when he heard this, and suddenly said, ”no, even if there is more energy contained in the meteorite crystal, it is impossible to support the strange animals to survive for thousands of years. They must have other energy supplement channels.”

As soon as these words came out, Aaron and Tina were stunned, and their eyes lit up at the same time.
