Han Sen thought it looked like a crystallizer control room. Li Keer said, "This building style must have belonged to the crystallizers."
Exquisite nodded and said, "It should be a crystallizer. Crystallizers don't evolve very quickly, but their technology is the best in the universe. If they hadn't challenged the thirteenth-ranked True Demon, they would have been one of the lower races. Even if they were in the top one hundred, they could have used their technology to become one of the higher races."
Li Keer's interest was piqued, and she said, "I have heard that the crystallizers almost defeated the Demon Man. It was only because the Extreme King intervened that they lost. Is that true?"
Exquisite shook her head. "No one can say for sure, but according to our records, another race joined the fight after the lantern fight. It wasn't the Extreme King, though."
"What race was that?" Han Sen couldn't help but ask.
Exquisite didn't care, and she said, "I don't know. I only know that it was a multi-race army. No one knows which race they were from."
"It is a shame that the crystallizers were defeated. It wasn't easy for a race with pure technology to get to where they were," Li Keer said with a sigh.
While they were talking, they followed the two Crocodile Gods into the crystallizer fortress. The place was badly damaged. There were collapsed buildings and broken machines everywhere, but there were no bodies.
Aside from the buildings and machines, there was nothing else in the fortress. The Crocodile Gods led them through the ruins of the fortress. They didn't know where they were going.
"This must be the crystallizer's fortress. There is no mistaking it. But only Kings can enter the core area. How did they get here through the sea?" Li Keer looked around as she spoke.
"Other races can't, but it is hard to say for the crystallizers. High-level creatures can't get in, but their technology can. With their technology, it is normal for them to be able to get in.
But what are they trying to do by building a fortress here? "Ling Long pondered as she looked around.
Han Sen looked around, too. It was similar to the crystallizer control room he had been in before. There were crystal machines everywhere, and he couldn't figure out what they were for.
"It's a shame Stay Up Late isn't here. Otherwise, he might be able to see something," Han Sen thought to himself.
Suddenly, Han Sen was slightly taken aback. He saw a huge area similar to a warehouse in front of him. In that area, there were rows of crystal jars up to a hundred meters tall.
Looking from afar, Han Sen could see that many of the jars in front of him were broken. There were only two or three jars that were not broken. Each of them contained a Chain Demon Crocodile.
It wasn't like the Crocodile God. It was like the Hinge Demon Crocodile King outside. Its body was dark red, and it had a pair of bat wings. They were soaked in a giant crystal tank full of liquid. They looked like corpses soaked in formalin in hospitals.
Exquisite and Li Keer noticed the jars, too. They looked in that direction. As they got closer, they saw that there were many crystal jars. There were dozens of rows, and each row had fifteen jars.
But most of the jars were broken. Less than ten of them were still intact, but each of them contained a Chain Demon Crocodile.
"Weird. Why would the crystallizers come here and capture so many Chain Demon Crocodile Kings?" Li Keer asked with confusion.
"Something is wrong here," Exquisite suddenly said.
"What is wrong?" Li Keer asked, looking at Exquisite.
"According to the arrangement of the crystal jars and the distribution of the Chain Demon Crocodiles, there should be Chain Demon Crocodiles in the other jars as well. But we don't see them here, and we don't see any bodies, either," Exquisite said.
"Maybe they ran away," Li Keer said casually.
Exquisite shook her head. "That's not the point. Every Chain Demon Crocodile in the jars is King class. If the other jars are the same, think about it. How many Chain Demon Crocodiles are there?
I don't think there are as many King class crocodiles here as there are in total. "
Li Keer now understood. There couldn't be that many King class demon crocodiles.
"There shouldn't be any demon crocodiles in the other jars, right?
If there were, even if the jars were broken, there should be bodies outside, "Li Keer said after a moment of thought.
Exquisite didn't argue with her this time. The jars that were still intact were scattered randomly. There wasn't a pattern to their arrangement. Judging from that, the King class demon crocodiles in the jars weren't random. The other broken jars might have had the same demon crocodiles in the past.
But if they were all King class Demon Crocodiles, it was too unbelievable. It was hard to believe.
The three of them followed Crocodile God through the area. They saw a hemispherical crystal building. It was transparent, but they couldn't see what was inside.
Crocodile God climbed into the hemispherical building, which was the size of a gymnasium. Han Sen and the others followed him.
After entering, the three of them froze. Inside the building was something like a swimming pool. There was a man-made beach and an ocean-style swimming pool.
There was also a sun chair nearby. The big Crocodile God climbed onto one of the sun chairs and lay down with its belly facing up. It looked like a mafia boss on vacation at the beach. The only thing missing was a flowery shirt and a pair of big pants.
The small Crocodile God ran out of the building and returned. There was a rope in its mouth, and there was a big box tied to the rope.
Han Sen watched as the small Crocodile God dragged the box in front of them. Then, the small Crocodile God barked at them.
Li Keer understood what the small Crocodile God meant. She opened the box and saw many tools inside. She was shocked. She had a bad feeling about this.
The tools were crystallizers. That much was obvious, but Han Sen and the others had never seen anything like this before. They didn't know what the tools were for, but judging from their shapes, they looked like construction workers.
With the small Crocodile God's barking and Li Keer's explanation, Han Sen realized that his bad feeling had come true. The three of them had been captured by a pair of crocodiles.
The Crocodile God wanted them to clean up the space fortress. It wanted them to be treated like servants.
After understanding what the small Crocodile God meant, Li Keer and Exquisite looked glum. They had never done anything like this in the Very High. Now, they were being ordered around like slaves by two crocodiles. It was hard for them to accept.
