Chapter 297: Unlocked The next afternoon. In the depths of the cave that had been excavated. “Bang!” With a loud bang, the large rocks blocking the entrance to the laboratory were finally cleared. Liu Keyi was the first to enter the laboratory hall and looked around. “We’re here. Be careful. The target is a crystallized form.” The other player entered the laboratory to search. “Found it! It’s here!” Deng Xin found something. She shouted and called Liu Keyi over to investigate. Seeing the crystal coffin in the corner of the laboratory, a smile appeared on Liu Keyi’s face. “This is the one?” “That’s right. This is the crystallized form we’re looking for.” Liu Keyi looked at the crystal coffins nearby and frowned. There were five crystal coffins placed side by side in the corner of the laboratory. The other four had been destroyed, leaving only the last one in front of Deng Xin intact. There were much fewer crystallized forms than she had expected. Liu Keyi reached out and pressed on the crystal coffin. [Hint: You have found an item-experiment crystal coffin.] “Beep Beep Beep...” The crystal coffin emitted a response and lit up with a blue light. A few lines of small words appeared on the built-in screen. [Hint: Please enter the password to unlock.] [Hint: Forced movement, destruction and power customization will cause the self-destruct program to start.] [Hint: Three consecutive password input errors will cause the password program to start. The remaining number of times: three.] Liu Keyi quickly pressed the button and entered the password. “Click...” [Hint: Password verified.] After a slight sound, the tightly locked coffin was unlocked. “Enough.” Liu Keyi said in a low voice. She opened the lid of the crystal coffin, took out a blue crystal from her backpack and quickly threw it into it. “Chi Chi Chi...” The crystallized worms inside the crystal coffin woke up almost instantly and pounced toward the crystal. They surrounded the crystal and greedily absorbed the energy that escaped from the crystal. The worm’s body slowly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a faint red glow appeared under its skin. Liu Keyi took out two tubes of T-virus from her backpack and stuffed them into the coffin. Deng Xin tried to get more information from Liu Keyi. She asked in a low voice, “Liu, what is this? Are we here to find this?” “Yes, it’s the crystallized form that we’re looking for. The T-virus can stimulate them, allowing them to enter a rapid growth period in a short period.” “However, it is prone to instability and will explode easily if you are not careful.” Liu Keyi closed the lid of the crystal coffin as she spoke, turning around and sweeping her gaze across the crowd. “Stick to the original plan and load the explosives. We’re going to send a big gift to the Federation.” Just as they had agreed beforehand, everyone put on a uniform white mask. The hired players surrounded them and tried to lift the coffin together. “Let’s go!” After loading the crystal coffin with explosives, Liu Keyi led the player team out of the cave. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Deng Xin and her two teammates deliberately lagged behind them for a short distance and hid in the darkness of the laboratory. After confirming that Liu Keyi’s team had all left, Deng Xin looked around the laboratory hall again. She frowned and asked in a low voice, “Fang Heng? Are you there?” “Da.” Lucia fell from the high ground and stood in front of Deng Xin. “Pada.”. There was another soft sound. Fang Heng also jumped down from the high ground. Deng Xin saw Fang Heng and Lucia who fell from the sky, and for a moment, she was still in a daze. “Thank you for your hard work. You did a good job. The bonus will be tripled at the end of the month.” “Of course. Thank you, Boss!” When Deng Xin’s two teammates heard about the bonus, they immediately reacted and thanked him together. Just now, Fang Heng and the Lickers were hiding in the shadows at the top of the cave. Fang Heng and the others saw everything that happened in the room. Fang Heng quickly walked to the crystal coffin in the corner. One of the five crystal coffins was taken away by Deng Xin. “Looks like it’s quite easy.” Fang Heng said as he reached out his hand to touch the broken crystal coffin. “Oh my god! Fang Heng, be careful! I spent a few hours making this! They are all works of art!” Fang Heng raised his head and looked at Sandy who was climbing down the rope ladder. “I know.” As he spoke, Fang Heng tore open a layer of drawing paper that was stuck to the surface of the crystal coffin. “Chi!!” In the dimly lit cave, along with Deng Xin’s intentional guidance from the side, Liu Keyi mistakenly thought that the remaining four crystal coffins had all been destroyed. Those were only replicas made by Sandy using drawing paper. “Did you get the password?” “Wait a moment, I recorded it just now.” As Deng Xin spoke, she retrieved the video footage from before and reported the password. “Ouroboros.” “What did you say?” Fang Heng’s heart pounded fiercely, and he turned around to look at Deng Xin in surprise. “Hmm?” Deng Xin did not expect Fang Heng’s reaction to be so big, so she checked the video again. “That’s right, the password is Ouroboros.” Fang Heng frowned. Why did Ouroboros appear here as the password? What did it mean? Sandy and Mo Jiawei also climbed down the rope ladder. “Fang Heng, this is my best work in recent months. The shattered crystal mirror and the lifelike worms. God, I admire myself!” “Indeed, it’s very good.” Fang Heng came back to his senses and gave a perfunctory reply. “Of course, this is art!!” Sandy proudly extended his five fingers. “There are not more than five people in the world who can tell that this is an imitation!” Fang Heng temporarily suppressed the doubts about Ouroboros in his heart and quickly entered the password on the built-in screen. “Click...” The mechanical claw holding the crystal coffin loosened. [Password confirmed, unlocked successfully...] Fang Heng looked up. “Lucia, you take the crystal coffin and leave first. Take them back to the shelter for now. Be careful and try not to be noticed by others.” “Okay!” Lucia nodded heavily and asked, “What about you?” “There are still some things that I don’t understand. I’ll go and check on the Federation. Maybe I can get some information from them.” “Yes, be careful.” ... Outside, Zhang Zhe led seven elite teams of the Federation to hide around the rock cave in the Gobi District area. “Sir, what exactly does the Night Owl organization want to do by entering the laboratory? They shouldn’t have the ability to collect blue crystal ores. Is it for the crystallized form? What exactly is that thing?” Tang Chu had always been curious. He had heard of crystallized forms, but he had never been clear about what it was. Zhang Zhe glanced at him. “Captain Tang, you only need to carry out the order. Once Night Owl’s men leave the iron mine and enter the encirclement, immediately carry out the hunting plan.” “I don’t wish to let any player off.” “Yes!” Zhang Zhe’s gaze was fixated on the cave passage not too far away. Crystallized form! That was an extremely special lifeform. They absorbed the energy from the blue crystal ore to achieve their goal of evolving themselves. The last time Zhang Zhe fought with a crystallized form, he was still in awe. At that time, it was already the end of the game. The Federation had joined forces with the Dark Knights and paid a huge price to destroy the crystallized form that had already entered the late stage of growth-a Tier 6 mutated creature. That type of life form that could continuously enhance itself was extremely strange. Perhaps Tier 6 was far from its final form.
