Chapter 225 Radiation Crystals (2/2)
Han Xiao wore a pair of gloves. He held up a finger-sized crystal and looked at it carefully. ”Where did you find this?”
”On the walls deep inside the nest.” Hao Tian gave a very simple answer.
Frenzied Sword added, ”These crystals were embedded in the wall. We wouldn't have found it either if the slime on it wasn't scraped off during the battle. Furthermore, these crystals became more concentrated as we went deeper into the nest as did the monsters. We were unable to go even deeper, so we came back early.”
Han Xiao could feel the warmth from the crystal itself even with gloves, which solved one of his questions. These crystals provided the heat energy that made the Shadow Stalker Vipers build their nest here.
Han Xiao waved at Frenzied Sword.
Without a hint of hesitation, Frenzied Sword walked toward Han Xiao, who suddenly did something shocking. He grabbed Frenzied Sword's mouth and stuffed the crystal into it. Then he blocked his mouth, not letting him spit it out.
”Swallow it.”
”Wuuuuuu—” Frenzied Sword's face was filled with shock. He struggled all he could, but Han Xiao's hands did not budge even an inch. Then, the crystal went down his throat. The three people watching from the side were stunned.
”Any reactions?” Han Xiao stared at him.
Frenzied Sword let out a sigh like he accepted his fate. He touched his chest and looked at his interface.

Frenzied Sword described the status. Undying players were the best choice to test drugs. Han Xiao gave a large amount of experience to Frenzied Sword as a reward and said while nodding, ”Well done.”
Frenzied Sword felt much better when he saw the experience. He looked at the rest of the crystals on the table and pondered, Will there be more experience if I eat all of them? It actually tastes like sweets.
Han Xiao knew what Frenzied Sword was thinking from the expression on his face. He awkwardly collected all of the crystals, denying Frenzied Sword's thoughts.
From the experiment, the rough uses of the crystals could be seen—purifying this type of radiation crystals would create crystal-formed energy, which was a form of clean energy.
Han Xiao had a thought. There were a lot of such crystals in the nest. He could use [Basic Extraction] to purify them and turn them into energy storage, and these energy crystals could even be used on all kinds of machinery if he made an energy transformation device. It was a valuable discovery.
Crystal energy was most commonly used in magic civilizations, it would also appear sometimes in technological civilizations. In a more fashionable way, such clean energy crystals could also be called 'Non-Elemental Crystal' or 'Magic Crystal'. Mages would use magic techniques to harvest energy from these crystals to become their own energy or to power magic, so there were many uses for it.
The concentration level of the crystals should lead to the core of the nest, Han Xiao thought and called Huang Yu over immediately.
After describing this discovery, Huang Yu instantly marked an area on the nest map that they had drawn.
”There's a ninety percent chance that this is the core area.” Huang Yu pointed at the map confidently.
”Very good.” Han Xiao nodded.
Time to act!
…
At midnight, players continued to fight in the nest as they did not need to sleep.
The prize-pool mission motivated the players. Although there was no direct mission, they still received quite a lot of experience from killing the Shadow Stalker Vipers, which were a much higher level than them.
Sky Territory was at the top of the rank!
”Quickly, T3 (third tank) pull the monster. T1 (main tank) and T2 (secondary tank), come back here now!”
”Pugilists attack at close range quickly!”
”Come on Espers, last longer! Go to the side to recover if you're out of energy!”
”Mechanics don't go too close, stand further away to deal damage!”
”Those carrying eggs leave quickly, don't get hit by the fallout!”
The people of Sky Territory were surrounding a Shadow Stalker Viper and took it like a BOSS. Jade Green Sky was commanding and yelling, and they were having a very exciting time. The cooperation of Core Team One was very in sync.
The slime in the nest would lower the players' speed, but although the nest favored the Shadow Stalker Vipers, it still was a fish in a net when facing the core team of Sky Territory, which was extremely experienced in fighting BOSSES. The Shadow Stalker Viper could not break out of the net no matter how it tried, and its health was decreasing at a steady rate.
”Killing Line! Everyone, deal damage now!”
All kinds of attacks downed on Shadow Stalker Viper. Its carapace started cracking, and slime splashed all over.
Jade Green Sky charged forward. He wore a Heavy Mechanical Arm much thicker than his hands on his right arm and activated the active ability of the Heavy Mechanical Arm.
The motors made a loud noise. Heated steam shot out of its ventilation pipes, and the iron fist hit straight at Shadow Stalker Viper's head. At the same time, Jade Green Sky shouted out loud with passion!
”Haaa! Iron Fist Burst!”When health falls below a certain amount and can be killed in a short time.
