But Han Sen still wanted to focus on collecting the purple Crystal Nuclei. He couldn't stay there for too long. When it was time for him to leave, he'd have to leave. If he didn't, people would suspect him. Right now, he had to collect as many purple Crystal Nuclei as possible.
Han Sen drove the beetle for three or four days, and he collected a hundred purple Crystal Nuclei. When he wanted to keep collecting, he saw a giant crater in front of him. It looked like a meteorite crater.
The crater was much bigger, though. It was a few dozen miles wide. When Han Sen scanned it with his radar, he found that the crater was filled with the ruins of a crystallizer building. That should have been the core of the crystallizer ruin.
But there was nothing there that was still intact. Everything had been crushed. It was like a crater filled with broken glass.
"It looks like something scary came crashing down and destroyed this area. The scary power affected the entire ruin, and that's why the ruin is like this," Ji Yanran said, looking at the image on the screen.
"To be able to trigger such a terrifying explosion, what was it that caused it to fall down?
Could it have been a meteorite? "Han Sen agreed with what Ji Yanran said, but the explosion was too scary.
Crystallizer buildings were very strong. Even a small nuclear bomb couldn't do much damage to a crystallizer building.
But looking at the size of the ruins, it was like a small city had been destroyed. The mountains nearby had been uprooted, too. It was scary.
"If something that big fell, it should have left a mark. Let's look for it. Maybe we can find it," Ji Yanran said with excitement.
Han Sen scanned the entire crystallizer ruin with his radar, but he was confused. He couldn't find anything that could have caused so much damage. The crater was full of crystallizer things, but he couldn't find anything else.
But Han Sen did find a cluster of purple Crystal Nuclei. It was supposed to have been a storage of Crystal Nuclei. Now that the crystallizer building had been destroyed, the purple Crystal Nuclei had been buried.
Han Sen commanded the beetle to use its claws to dig through the crystal shards. It took him a few hours to reach a depth of two hundred meters and retrieve the purple crystal cores.
"We're rich, we're really rich this time. There are actually over a thousand Purple Crystalline Nuclei here." Han Sen excitedly looked at the pile of Purple Crystalline Nuclei, grinning from ear to ear.
Han Sen searched around again. Although he found some more Purple Crystal Cores, the amount was pitifully small. It was difficult for the experienced Han Sen to be moved.
When Han Sen turned around, he found that Bai Yishan and the shura were gone. Ten days had passed, and they should have been teleported back.
"What a pity. I wanted to take care of those Asuras."
After all, the purple Crystal Core was more important. He had gained a lot, and it was far more important than killing a few royal shura.
"Let's get out of here. If we leave too late, people will suspect us." Ji Yanran looked at the pile of Purple Crystal Cores and asked, "What are you going to do with them?"
Ji Yanran knew Han Sen too well. She knew he'd put in a lot of effort, and there was no way he'd just give them away.
"I have a way. You take a few Purple Crystal Cores and leave." Han Sen sent Ji Yanran back to where she'd first teleported in.
Han Sen rode the beetle back to where he'd first teleported in. He took a look at the green beetles before returning to where he'd first teleported.
Han Sen put the black rhinoceros beetle away, and it turned back into a small black rhinoceros beetle. It was like a small jade statue, and there was nothing special about it. Not even Han Sen's Dongxuan Aura could detect anything.
Han Sen put the black beetle away, and when he left, the people who'd sent him were already back.
Han Sen handed over the eleven Purple Crystals he'd prepared and allowed them to be scanned. The focus of the scan was on the Crystal Cores, but it didn't reveal the beetle.
The researchers could see the black beetle, but they didn't care. There were no Crystal Cores on it, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Han Sen walked out of the scanner, and he felt relieved. It was great that he'd been able to pass.
"Good, good. Han Sen, you did well. You and Ji Yanran are the best soldiers in the Alliance." General Reg welcomed Han Sen into the team and complimented Han Sen.
The faces of the shura looked glum. Han Sen wondered what was going on, and he didn't know what was going on.
When they returned to the airship, Han Sen chatted with Bai Yishan and the others. He learned that Bai Yishan and the shura hadn't brought many Purple Crystal Cores.
Because of the teleportation error, they hadn't arrived at the destination they'd planned to teleport to. Their preparations had been useless, and most of them had only found one or two Purple Crystal Cores.
Before Ji Yanran and Han Sen came out, the person with the most Purple Crystal Cores had found was the white-horned shura called Guna.
At first, the shura were very happy, but they did not expect Ji Yanran to come out with eight purple Crystal Cores. Han Sen had even brought eleven, which made the shura lose their shine.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have given up so much. This is a bit too much publicity." Han Sen sighed, but then he became happy again.
Just a dozen Purple Crystal Cores were enough to make the Shura so jealous. Without a doubt, these Purple Crystal Cores were very precious.
Han Sen thought about the thousand Purple Crystal Cores in the black beetle. His heart was beating fast, and he felt as if his blood was going to start burning.
"No, I have to find out what these Purple Crystal Cores are for," Han Sen thought to himself.
But before Han Sen could ask, Ji Yanran had already done so. Ji Yanran knew he had so many Purple Crystal Cores, so she wanted to know what they were for.
Because the teleportation wheel no longer worked, no one could enter the crystallizer ruin. The Alliance and the shura knew what the Purple Crystal Cores were for, so the Alliance didn't keep a tight lid on them. They allowed Ji Yanran to find out what the Purple Crystal Cores were for.
After Han Sen heard what Ji Yanran had told him, he opened his mouth wide and started to laugh like a fool.
"A thousand … I have a thousand … I'm rich … I'm rich …"
