LOL: Let me touch your steel

As he spoke, Zhang Xu patted Ezreal lightly and said jokingly:

"Okay, your mission is complete. Your guide mission is complete... Oh, and remember to go back and prepare a world map of Runeterra for me. I'll get it before I leave."

Zhang Xu felt that after this time, he would never have the chance to meet the little yellow-haired boy again.

so...

Of course, we must take advantage of this opportunity to get all the benefits!

There aren't many big fat sheep like Ezreal!

"Oh, of course, you can also come with us. It's the same if I go with you to get the world map after we get out."

Chapter 152 It’s true!

Ezreal finally followed, after all, his previous two attempts to explore the Hextech crystal mines had ended in failure.

Just to satisfy my curiosity.

Ezreal said this in his heart and followed Zhang Xu and his group silently.

The situation underground was not what Zhang Xu had imagined. The actual situation of the crystal mine was much larger than expected. The entire underground world was like a magnificent crystal palace with carved railings and jade bricks, and was filled with dazzling spherical crystals everywhere.

However, there are certain impurities on the outside of these crystals, so if they are to be used in scientific research, they need to be carefully polished.

But even so, the storage capacity of Hextech crystals still far exceeded Zhang Xu's imagination.

In other words, Hextech crystals aren't that rare.

Zhang Xu subconsciously glanced at Camille and found that she was also looking at him. Seeing that he was looking at her, Camille quickly understood what Zhang Xu meant and spoke at the right time:

"Sir, our Ferros family also needs to survive. Keeping the Hextech crystals secret can bring greater benefits to our Ferros family, right? Moreover, if a large number of Hextech crystals flow into Piltover, the entire Piltover market will be in trouble."

Zhang Xu could completely understand it. It was the same hunger marketing strategy as diamonds. The only difference was probably that diamonds were just worthless toys created by capital speculation to deceive people, while Hextech crystals were much more precious.

"So...so beautiful!"

Talia looked around with a little surprise, and couldn't help but reach out to touch the spherical crystal closest to her. As soon as she touched it, a cool feeling that was enough to calm her soul instantly surged into her heart.

Talia, who had always lived in a barren desert tribe, had never seen such a thing.

When Talia first heard about Hex Crystal Mine, she thought it was the same substance as the concentrate commonly found in the desert... It was not until she saw so many crystals that she realized how wrong she was.

Even Kassa, who has never been interested in these things, couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

In any case, Kassa is now just the age when she was just entering college in her previous life, and girls of this age are always interested in these shiny things.

Among the few people, only Zhang Xu did not show any other emotions.

Camille subconsciously observed the subtle emotional fluctuations of the few people, constantly analyzing them in her mind.

Judging from the current developments...it seems that Lord Zhang Xu has no intention of seizing the Hextech crystal mine?

He even looked uninterested when he saw the Hextech crystals that were about to be snatched up outside. So...what was his purpose?

Camille couldn't figure it out, but she immediately realized that this was an opportunity, and an extremely elegant smile instantly appeared on her face:

"If you two ladies like them, two polished Hextech crystals will be delivered to you later. Just consider it as a greeting gift from the Philos family to you two."

Kasa first glanced at Zhang Xu, and after seeing that Zhang Xu did not show any abnormality, she nodded:

"Then I would like to thank Lady Camille in advance."

really!

The bet was right!

Camille was immediately delighted. If the two women who had always been following Lord Zhang Xu accepted her gift without hesitation, it would prove that he was indeed not interested in Hextech crystals!

The Hex Crystal Mine has been saved...

Maybe there will be a chance to gain the favor of Lord Zhang Xu.

Ezreal looked at Camille in confusion. Wasn't there anyone who came to ask for his opinion?

Things like Hextech crystals...I like them too!

Why don't you give me one too?

Ezreal couldn't help but twitch his lips. He knew that Camille gave away two Hextech crystals because of Zhang Xu. He was just... a little hurt.

Is it too late for me to hug Zhang Xu's thigh now?

I want to get on the bus too!!!

Seeing Zhang Xu walking around the crystal mine, Camille frowned slightly. She still couldn't figure out what Zhang Xu wanted to do, but... this kind of person shouldn't be used to being watched all the time, right?

After realizing this, Camille immediately took a few steps back with her great-niece Misty.

At the same time, Zhang Xu slowly closed his eyes.

The energy of nothingness surged through Zhang Xu's body. Although Zhang Xu did not open his eyes, in Zhang Xu's perception, everything around him had turned into nothingness.

Everything became ethereal, and everything was disappearing from Zhang Xu's perception.

Everything no longer existed, as if he was the only one in the entire space.

But soon, Zhang Xu discovered something strange.

After using the energy of nothingness, what should have appeared in Zhang Xu's mind was a world of nothingness. The world that should have been empty, suddenly a touch of color appeared!

A touch of purple that shouldn't exist here lingers in Zhang Xu's heart!

This is a power... no less powerful than nothingness!

Zhang Xu's heart trembled and he suddenly opened his eyes.

The energy of nothingness gradually faded away, and everything around him gradually appeared in Zhang Xu's sight, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

But the corners of Zhang Xu's mouth rose uncontrollably, and it was indeed so...

Sure enough!

It turns out that the Hextech crystal mine was not formed by chance... Although he had already guessed it when he saw the crystal device in Ike's hand, when Zhang Xu really saw this touch of purple, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Although it is still unclear what lies deep within the Hex Crystal Mine...

But since this thing can still show its original color under the influence of nothingness energy, it proves that this thing should be at the same level as nothingness!

Seeing Zhang Xu's excited face, Kasa moved a little closer and asked softly:

"Did you find what you wanted?"

"Yeah...something that might cause trouble."

Zhang Xu pursed his lips, but a hint of joy still flashed in his eyes.

Camille's heart trembled slightly. Although she didn't know what Zhang Xu had just done...but from Zhang Xu's current performance, it can be seen that he seemed to have found something.

Is there something hidden in this hex crystal mine?

A hint of curiosity flashed in Camille's eyes. The Philos family has controlled this Hextech crystal mine for some time and has been mining it, but they have not found anything abnormal.

Is it because their level is not high enough?

Or is that mysterious thing hidden too deeply?

Chapter 153 World Rune - Purple

Zhang Xu's sight fell on the bottom of the tallest spherical crystal. From what he perceived just now, that thing... should be hidden right below this spherical crystal!

But...how should I take this thing out?

Violently opening the box certainly won't work, so... try using energy to activate that thing?

Zhang Xu thought about it, then stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the spherical crystal.

If you want to activate that thing... you have to use the energy of ascension, right?

The ascending energy in Zhang Xu's body surged out in an instant, and a bright golden light quickly condensed in the palm of Zhang Xu.

Then, this bright golden light acted on the spherical crystal, and the spherical crystal, which was originally emitting a faint blue light, suddenly burst into an even more dazzling light!

The entire spherical crystal was dyed with a brilliant golden color!

Camille subconsciously took two steps back, not only because of the changes at the moment, but also because of the energy that was madly released in the space!

This energy did not affect Camille, but she could still feel the horror of this energy!

Is this terrifying energy that seems to be able to tear everything apart the force that caused the changes in Zaun?

It's simply... beyond the scope of human beings!

As energy was injected, Zhang Xu's expression gradually became solemn.

After determining the location of that thing, Zhang Xu only needed to use energy to activate it, but... the energy required for this process was beyond his imagination.

The ascension energy was continuously injected into it, but...that thing didn't react at all!

Is the energy not enough?

With the help of Zerath, the Ascension Energy in Zhang Xu's body was no less than that of some ordinary Ascendants. But even so, he tried his best but still couldn't cause any reaction from that thing! ?

Zhang Xu took a deep breath. It seemed that the ascending energy was no longer working...

It seems that I can only try the void energy.

Although the use of void energy is likely to cause some unknown changes or errors, it is better than the current situation where there is no response, right?

Zhang Xu frowned and took back all the energy released from his palms.

The next moment, the energy of nothingness burst out!

Although the void energy and the ascension energy formed a balance in Zhang Xu's body and the two energies were actually the same, the void had characteristics that the ascension energy did not have.

That is devouring!

The light in the space disappeared instantly, the golden light on the giant spherical crystal completely disappeared, and even the blue luster of the crystal itself completely dimmed. This Hextech crystal seemed to have completely lost all its effects, like an ordinary crystal.

In fact, it is almost the same. This crystal can no longer be used in scientific research.

All the energy above has been swallowed up by nothingness.

That touch of purple lingered in Zhang Xu's mind again. This time, with the help of close contact with the void energy, Zhang Xu finally saw the true appearance of that thing!
