Chapter 413 Crystal of the Undying Hear (2/2)
After the gate was opened, there were three steps of vertical stone ladders. Two white flower pots were placed on the left and right sides of the gate. The flower pots were large, and an agave tree was planted in each pot.
Gao Peng glanced twice at the agave, which was just an ordinary plant, not a mutant monster in disguise.
Walking into the yard, there was a large white sculpture in the center. The sculpture, which was 16 feet tall, had a pool in front of it. The pool was sparkling gently, and light reflected on the water was gentle and smooth.
Behind this sculpture was a long and straight corridor that led to the back.
Gao Peng realized that the floor under his feet wasn't flat. Instead, it was slightly inclined. Although the angle wasn't steep, Gao Peng could still clearly feel the slight inclination of the ground.
[Monster name]: Penalty Sculpture
[Monster Level]: Level 43
[Monster Grade]: Normal
[Monster Attributes]: Dark
…
”The disguise is really good.” Gao Peng assessed the sculpture. ”Goldie, go and chop it up.” It was also time to give Goldie a few layers of passive skills.
Goldie took its double axes and walked over aggressively. The motionless pure white sculpture suddenly trembled. The white paint on its surface suddenly melted, like melting white wax to reveal a dark body.
Three minutes later, the floor was littered with disintegrated slags.
Goldie picked up the dark monster core crystal and handed it over to Gao Peng. Gao Peng took this dark Lord-tier core crystal and put it in front of Xiao Cao, who was in a deep slumber. Xiao Cao's body moved towards Gao Peng instinctively, and when he lifted the core crystal higher, the curled-up Xiao Cao stretched its body.
Finally, Gao Peng put the core crystal on its leaves. The leaves curled up, then it hugged itself into a ball.
Xiao Cao's level was still slightly lower, but it would be able to play more roles after it was promoted to the Lord tier.
The way to promote a monster's level quickly was to absorb a monster core crystal of the same attribute. In theory, as long as there were enough Lord-tier monster core crystals, it was possible to promote familiars that fulfilled the grade requirements to the Lord-tier in the shortest amount of time.
Xiao Cao was now Level 36. If the two core crystals were absorbed, it would be able to break through to the Lord tier. Gao Peng instructed Dumby to take good care of Xiao Cao, who was sitting on top of its head, and continued walking deeper into the temple.
For the rest of the journey, they didn't come across any other monsters. The atmosphere just became more and more uncomfortable. Unknowingly, the surrounding walls had turned black. The black walls on the inside were full of omens.
From outside, the temple didn't seem very big, but when one walked inside, one could feel its spaciousness. The dark walls and rooftop had no light at all, so they now depended on Flamy for light.
Logically, one should have walked out of the temple, but they were still walking onward. It could have been that they had already gone underground.
”Stop.” Gao Peng stopped his footsteps, and looking around, he realized that in front of them was a spacious open area with half-translucent white crystals floating in the air.
[Item name]: Crystal of the Undying Heart
[Item Description]: A crystal that naturally condensed around the Essence of the Undying Heart. It is formed by the various types of incomplete Soul Power absorbed from the air through the Essence of the Undying Heart.
”Flamy, increase the light.”
Flamy nodded, increased the flame in size by three times, and immediately, the flame lit up the entire hall. Everything was clearly exposed in their field of vision.
