Chapter 1034
Ang grabbed the little ghost back. Liliana didn't notice this. After everyone had browsed around the Crystal Lake, she led everyone away. She seemed unaware that there was something else in the Crystal Lake.
That night, in the pitch-black Crystal Lake, a glimmer of light flickered among the crystals. It would light up, extinguish, and when it lit up again, it was already in another crystal, as if jumping among the crystals—free and joyful.
Yet the next moment, the entire space suddenly solidified. The glimmer was frozen inside a crystal, and a feeling of panic radiated from the light.
A tentacle of will slowly reached over, pinched that crystal, and pressed it forward. The crystal, along with the light inside, vanished.
When it appeared again, it had arrived in an empty space. All around were flat grasslands, with a boundary marker in the middle, and several humanoid creatures surrounding it.
"This is the thing? Just for this thing, you needed me to rush to build a Farm Barrier?" Du Luo Ken asked, puzzled.
Gris said, "It's necessary. According to Ang, it can jump at will between those crystals, and even jump onto the scales of those Crystal Dragons. If we don't isolate the space, it's very difficult to catch it."
"Even with a Farm Barrier, it's hard to catch. If it weren't for my lord's spatial solidification, it would have jumped who knows where before we could even make a move. I can only say it's too unlucky to run into a nemesis like my lord," Anthony said.
"What exactly is this thing? Why does it feel a bit similar to the Water Source?" Silver Coin asked, rubbing his hands.
If it were something similar to the Water Source, then they would be rich. Just thinking that anything it infected could become invisible like a Crystal Dragon, it would definitely sell like crazy.
"It's the same. Let's call it the Crystal Source. It's just that the Water Source no longer has consciousness, yet this Crystal Source actually has consciousness? But it's a bit stupid. Was it just born?" Gris said.
Anthony asked suspiciously, "If there were only one Water Source, it could be called an accidental product. Now there is a Crystal Source; could there be other sources? What exactly are these things? How were they produced? Why is their infectivity so strong?"
Du Luo Ken said, "The infectivity of this Crystal Source isn't strong. It only infects the scales of dragons. I don't know if it's because dragon skin is too thick to be infected, or some other reason. I'll get some later to test it."
Ang immediately reached out and scooped up the crystals by the handful. As the crystals fell to the ground, the grass on the ground rapidly crystallized and shattered. The ground was covered with crystal fragments, and then, from between the crystals, clusters of crystals slowly precipitated, resembling saltpeter.
This Farm Barrier was newly built and hadn't been reclaimed into farmland, but Ang didn't care and continued to scoop inside.
However, scooping by the handful was too slow. The little ghost emerged from his finger, let out two "ya-ya" cries, and drilled out along Ang's hand.
Ang's will quickly projected over, wanting to see what the little ghost was doing.
He saw that in the entire lake, all the crystals had lit up. It started with one crystal; the light lit up, illuminating the surrounding crystals, and the surrounding crystals then lit up the crystals around them. Like a chain reaction, almost in an instant, all the crystals in the entire lake lit up.
At the same time, Ang heard the little ghost's voice. He reached out and scooped, and *whoosh, whoosh, whoosh*, a large amount of crystals flowed out from the spatial rift Ang had pierced. Every crystal shimmered with dazzling light, like a river of light pouring out.
The crystals flowed all over the ground, covering the entire Farm Barrier in a layer, like a glowing carpet, breathtakingly beautiful.
Seeing that it was about enough, Ang pinched his hand, the spatial rift closed, and the river of light was interrupted, leaving only crystals shimmering with light all over the ground. These lights flickered and changed within the crystals.
Finally, all the light contracted into a ball, transformed into the little ghost, and drilled out from inside. It came before Ang and spat out a small point of light: "Ao—"
Ang tilted his head.
"Good fellow, it wanted to run and was caught by you? The little ghost is truly amazing." Gris miraculously understood the little ghost's meaning.
The little ghost let out an "Ao" and hugged Ang's hand again.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, little ghost, did you get bigger?" Gris asked, puzzled, calling out to the little ghost.
It was impossible to measure the little ghost's change in volume because this was only a projection of it; its main body was still in the Holy Heavenly Kingdom's core. But Gris felt that the little ghost had become much stronger. Could it be an illusion?
The little ghost emerged, its small head nodding and nodding.
Gris gave up. Only Ang and the little angel could communicate with these little things. He had no choice but to look at Ang.
Ang scratched his head and said, "Crystal, amplify."
"Can crystals amplify the little ghost's power? Is it permanent or temporary? It won't have an effect on it, will it?" Gris asked hurriedly.
Ang shook his head. "Temporary."
Gris felt some regret. "Temporary" meant that the Crystal Source had no effect on the little ghost. If it could have a permanent strengthening effect on the little ghost, that would be great.
However, this wasn't a bad thing either. If the Crystal Source could infect it, it meant it could also cause it harm. The little ghost was the Lord of Light; whether it could be strengthened wasn't important. Maintaining its current state was the best.
"How should we deal with it? It seems scared." Looking at the Crystal Source, which had shrunk into a small ball, Gris asked.
Ang thought for a moment, opened a spatial rift, and gestured toward the outside: "Go."
The Crystal Source, shrunk into a ball, was somewhat startled. It looked at the spatial rift and then at Ang, at a loss.
The two spaces were already connected, and there was a pile of crystals outside. As long as it had a thought, it could easily jump into the crystals outside. But perhaps it had been hit too hard, and it didn't dare to move.
Ang tilted his head and gestured again: "Go."
The Crystal Source asked hesitantly, "Really... let me go? Why?"
"Eh, you can talk?" Gris was surprised.
Ang scratched his head and said, "Useless."
If the Crystal Source had blood and energy, it would probably have surged to the point of explosion by now: "Useless? I'm useless? I can make the surface of all living things crystallize to enhance defensive power, make light oscillate to strengthen, make..."
Ang reached out and flicked, flicking the Crystal Source away. He closed the spatial rift and said, "I can do that too."
Ang could also achieve surface crystallization. As for light oscillation, that wasn't the Crystal Source's ability, but the effect of the crystal itself. Whether it had consciousness wasn't important.
Seriously arguing, what was in the silver lake was the Water Source, and what was in the crystal lake was the Crystal Source. This consciousness point was just a derivative of the Crystal Source and was useless. Plus, Ang didn't really take in underlings anymore; it was troublesome.
Having harvested a whole farm of crystallized crystals, Du Luo Ken volunteered to stay behind to study it.
Not long after the others left the space, Liliana quietly flew over and said, "You guys run quickly, don't go back to the Undead City. Arafat asked me to tell you that Lord North Crown has gathered all his manpower, including all of us Crystal Dragons, to encircle and suppress the Undead City and capture you."
After saying this, Liliana paused and said hesitantly, "Arafat also said that if you have other ideas, we Crystal Dragons are innocent, please show mercy. What does his remark mean? What other ideas?"
Gris said unhappily, "Trying to play both sides, this dead lizard."
