Chapter 86: Crimson Element
Chapter 86: Crimson Element
After returning from the Red Wind disaster, Qin Muye let out a sigh of relief. The environment there was truly terrible. Even though he had a magic shield protecting him and he didn't suffer any damage, the constant presence of crimson made him feel quite depressed.
[Special Material: Crimson Element Core (High Concentration)]
"However, the item description shows that this crimson crystal is actually an element core, which I didn't expect. But the Crimson Element..."
This is similar to the element cores he used to upgrade his magic pool, both being elemental aggregates, but this one is highly concentrated.
The red crystals in the middle are likely ordinary element cores.
"None of the advanced class certificates for mages, elementalists, and other series mention the Crimson Element, so it seems to be a newly emerged element."
Qin Muye had exchanged a large number of advanced class certificates and studied them all. With his current knowledge attribute, he could remember anything he read effortlessly.
He knew of various peculiar elements, such as the Death Element, Life Element, and even composite elements like the Nature Element. These elements all have a basis, with most being natural elements. Even composite elements like the Nature Element are formed by a certain ratio of earth, water, fire, and wind elements intertwined into a single entity.
Such composite elements generally only appear in specific regions.
From what he could see, the Crimson Element should be considered a composite element, but it is not a natural one. It is formed by magic, divine power, and some unknown force of the ancient gods, and it is not as gentle as natural elements.
Elements are generally quite gentle. Even though they permeate the entire world, they won't harm anyone unless they are contacted in a specific way. Even the Death Element, for example, won't cause any harm unless one is exposed to it in a certain manner.
However, the Crimson Element carries a suffocating danger. Even in the form of an element core, it emits a strong radiation.
Once the human body is exposed to this radiation, it will gradually crystallize, a condition Qin Muye calls the Crimson Disease.
Don't ask him how he knows; he cut a large piece of flesh from his palm and is still in pain.
"Since it's an element, can it be converted into magic power?" Qin Muye looked at the Crimson Element Core, which was isolated in multiple layers, pondering this bold idea.
Of course, he had the courage to think about it, but he didn't have the courage to actually try it.
The Crimson Element and magic power are incompatible. He still vividly remembers the scene where the magic power was annihilated.
If he were to use a meditation method to convert it, the more likely outcome would be a disaster rather than successfully mastering the magic power it forms.
Qin Muye had long accepted that he wasn't the protagonist, so he wouldn't act unless he was absolutely sure.
He began to recall the contents of the Book of Gospel, hoping to find any relevant records.
After all, this thing was created by the Divine Seed's recklessness, and theoretically, it should have some connection with the crimson flame.
Unfortunately, he found nothing.
The Book of Gospel is more focused on the flesh side, while the crimson flame is on the energy side, which are completely different developmental paths.
So, there were no relevant records.
Therefore, Qin Muye had to explore it himself, but he had made some progress. After two enhancements, his academic research ability had given him sufficient research capabilities, and he hadn't encountered any technical bottlenecks yet.
"Master, the elite unit has been trained."
Black Hand reported from outside the laboratory.
Qin Muye only now snapped back to reality, having lost track of how long he had been in the laboratory. The abundant magic power had provided him with enough energy, and even 007's work had gone unnoticed.
As for the matter of purchasing dragon corpses from the trading house, Qin Muye had already arranged for Black Hand to handle it.
"Oh, I see. You're preparing to go out for leveling, have all the arrangements been made?" Qin Muye said without leaving the laboratory.
"Everything is in order, Master, but your research might be inconvenient, right?" Black Hand asked hesitantly.
Black Hand knew that since Qin Muye's last return, he had not left the laboratory for five days.
"It's fine, there's nothing inconvenient about it. I'll use the Hyper-Spatial Teleportation Channel to send you out. I'll arrange for the goblins to take turns manning the portal on the other side. You can take the two-way teleportation portal from your inventory and return it, and the goblins will remind me to bring you back."
Qin Muye indicated that this was not a big issue, but since the laboratory contained the Crimson Element, it was not suitable for goblins to survive in, so this procedure was necessary. Otherwise, he would have just monitored it himself.
After sealing the Crimson Element and the Crimson Element Core, Qin Muye carefully cleaned the laboratory to ensure no Crimson Element was left behind before leaving.
After all, the Hyper-Spatial Teleportation Channel was in his possession, and it could not be entrusted to anyone else.
"Let's go, how's the assembly going?" Qin Muye casually closed the laboratory door and sealed it with magic to prevent any leaks before speaking.
Although he would only be out for a few minutes, he could not afford to be careless.
"It's all set, just waiting for your instructions, Master," Black Hand said respectfully.
"What instructions? If everything is ready, let's go quickly. My experiments can wait, but the Red Wind disaster won't. Who knows when it will erupt?" Qin Muye had no intention of giving formal instructions; such formalities were unnecessary for the goblins.
Soon, a large group of goblins formed a neat formation.
The number was not large—just ten thousand goblins, nine thousand of which were Bloodthirsty Goblins, and one thousand were Malicious Goblins. The Gospel Goblins and other types remained behind, especially the Gospel Goblins, who served as the strongest military force in the territory and thus would not leave.
The Steward Goblins and Farm Goblins, who were not adept at combat, were responsible for managing internal and external affairs and agricultural arrangements, respectively, so they would not be going out either.
Therefore, only the Bloodthirsty Goblins and Malicious Goblins could leave.
After a quick inspection, Qin Muye confirmed the coordinates and immediately opened the Hyper-Spatial Teleportation Channel, teleporting all the Hero Goblins and the ten thousand elite goblins away.
Having done this, he hurried back to the laboratory. The subsequent arrangements were handled by the Steward Goblins.
The more he understood the Crimson Element, the more anxious he became about the Red Wind disaster. If it wasn't resolved soon, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It might even set back the entire territory's development to the beginning, so he even put on hold the planned reforms to minimize potential losses.
