Han Sen didn't dare to move and watched the green unicorn beetle crawl out of the crack created by Li Mingtang's explosion.
The beetle was the size of a fist, and it didn't crawl very fast. The crack wasn't very big, either. It took the beetle a few tries to crawl out.
Compared to the golden Rubik's cube and the simulating core, the beetle was very clumsy. It crawled very slowly, and it didn't look like it could fly. It just crawled slowly on the ground.
After a few steps, the front corner hit a crystal statue. This guy was so stupid that it didn't know how to turn. Its claws struggled and tried to crawl forward, but it was obvious that its strength was very weak. It couldn't move the statue at all. It was like a small car that was spinning in place.
Han Sen watched it for a while, and he found that the beetle was really stupid and weak. It couldn't be compared to the golden Rubik's cube, and it didn't look dangerous.
Han Sen thought for a while, and then he crawled out from behind the statue's ear. He picked up a crystal and threw it near the beetle.
The beetle was scared by the sound of the crystal hitting the ground. It stopped fighting the statue and turned around to crawl toward where the crystal had fallen.
Soon, the rhinoceros beetle hit the crystal. It was only a little bigger than a fist. The rhinoceros beetle used its horn to push the crystal a few times, but it only managed to move the crystal slightly. It couldn't move the crystal away.
"Is there such a useless thing in the crystallizers' playthings?"
Han Sen was shocked. He walked to the beetle, grabbed its shell, and picked it up.
The rhinoceros beetle was like a tortoise that had been flipped over. It kept flailing its claws, but it couldn't grab anything. It was weak, and it couldn't escape from Han Sen's grasp.
"Is this a pet made by the crystallizers?"
Han Sen looked at the beetle. There were many mysterious crystallizer patterns on its body. They were like the black crystal gate, and they looked like the core of a complicated mechanical watch.
Han Sen used his finger to touch the beetle's claws. The beetle's claws grabbed onto Han Sen's finger, but it didn't have much strength.
The unicorn beetle grabbed Han Sen's finger and climbed onto the back of Han Sen's hand. It wrapped its claws around Han Sen's wrist and stopped moving. Then, it squeaked at Han Sen.
Seeing that it was useless, Han Sen ignored it and walked to the crack created by Li Mingtang's grenade.
He didn't know what kind of grenade Li Mingtang used, but it cracked a small piece of the crystal on the ground, leaving a one-foot-long crack.
Han Sen moved closer to the fissure and looked down. He was pleasantly surprised.
There was a round room under the fissure. There were dozens of purple crystals scattered in the room. Han Sen had seen this kind of crystal before. It was the one that Ji Yanran asked Han Sen to use. It could promote brain development.
Han Sen wanted to go down and get the crystals, but he didn't bring any weapons. After all, this was just a substitute. Han Sen was afraid that Li Mingtang would destroy the substitute, so he didn't leave any beast souls on it.
With the strength of the beetle knight, it was obviously impossible for it to open the fissure with its bare hands. Han Sen could only wait for his original body and Ji Yanran to come. Then, he would figure out a way to get the crystals in the room.
There was still some distance between his original body and Ji Yanran. Han Sen found a place to sit down and played with the beetle in his hand.
The beetle looked very beautiful and clumsy. It was very fun to play with it.
Han Sen and Ji Yanran walked along the tunnel. Han Sen told Ji Yanran about the situation here, and then took Ji Yanran to come here.
Han Sen also described the appearance of the beetle to Ji Yanran. Ji Yanran didn't know what it was, but speculated that it might be a Crystallizer toy.
When they arrived, Han Sen grabbed the beetle and put the beetle knight back into the Sea of Soul.
"Things made by Crystallizers usually have a special function. For example, the golden Rubik's cube you mentioned is actually a guard crystal core. It can shoot out light blades that can cut through armor. A human's body can't block them. Unless you're fast enough to break the crystal core before it uses the light blades, the only thing you can do is run away.
Things like this look useless are rare in Crystallizer ruins. "Ji Yanran looked at the beetle and didn't see anything special about it.
"It's a Crystallizer product. Even if it's a toy, it's still a rare item. I think it can be sold for a lot of money." Han Sen looked at the beetle, his eyes full of gold coins.
"There are many collectors who like to collect Crystallizer items. If you find the right person, you can sell it for a lot of money." Ji Yanran nodded.
"Then I'll keep it."
Han Sen put the beetle in a pocket and walked to the crack. He opened his super creature warframe and used it to expand the crack.
After twenty minutes of digging, the crack was finally big enough for a person to go through. Han Sen put away his warframe and went in.
There was nothing else in the room except for a dozen pebble-like purple crystals scattered on the ground. Han Sen picked them up one by one. There were sixteen in total, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Ji Yanran told him that these crystals were called "brain crystals." Although they could be found in many Crystallizer ruins, there weren't many of them.
In some small ruins, finding one or two brain crystals was already good enough. Sometimes, it was impossible to find any at all.
In some of the larger ruins, finding seven or eight pieces was already considered a big discovery. In the recorded history of human excavation, the largest number of brain crystals that had been excavated was over a hundred. That discovery had already shocked the entire Alliance.
There were sixteen brain crystals here. It was a very impressive discovery.
"If you want these brain crystals, you have to use them here. Otherwise, when you return to the battleship and get scanned, the brain crystals will not escape detection," Ji Yanran said to Han Sen, seeing how happy Han Sen was.
"Then use them. We'll each take half. Husband and wife, we'll share the good and bad together." Han Sen then divided the brain crystals in half. He took eight for himself and gave eight to Ji Yanran.
Ji Yanran didn't want to take them, but after hearing what Han Sen said, she happily took the eight brain crystals and said, "You can only use one in twelve hours. Otherwise, it will stimulate your brain too much and cause some problems."
Han Sen nodded and put one of the brain crystals on his forehead. He felt a current go into his brain, and the brain crystal shattered.
