Chapter 638: City Construction (9)
“This is a dark crystal that the Devil clan had buried underground when they constructed the city, and it is only available in their world. It contains many dark elements, and when positioned here, it can activate the array in this room. The walls of the whole city would be reinforced, and no current siege weapons would be able to damage it even if they were to attack it continuously for ten years.”
“It’s that powerful?” Shen Yanxiao’s eyes nearly popped out of their socket. The Devil clan was wise indeed.
“However, there were already cracks on the existing walls. Did someone bombard the city for hundreds of years?”
“Those marks were caused by the G.o.d race’s besieging weapons.”
“Oh, so it’s the G.o.d race’s weapons…” Shen Yanxiao was somewhat fascinated by the story. The G.o.d race had fallen for many years, so it was practically impossible for humans to possess any of their besieging weapons. As long as she activated the array, then the city would become a real city where the sun never set!
Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and asked, “Can the dark crystal still activate the array?”
“No, the dark elements in it have been depleted.”
Shen Yanxiao instantly wilted…
Was he playing with her!?
As she looked on helplessly at the strongest protective s.h.i.+eld in the world, her heart almost broke into pieces when she realized she could not activate it.
However, Xiu’s following words allowed Shen Yanxiao to recover her excitement once again.
“The three plants in your hands could activate it.”
“For real?” Shen Yanxiao excitedly asked again.
“Yes. Otherwise, why would I bring you here?” Xiu’s voice had a trace of indiscernible joy.
“But if we were to plant it here, what would the demons eat?” Shen Yanxiao hesitated as she was still unsure as to where she would plant the three plants.
“No worries. If you plant it here, the array will allow them to grow. Furthermore, the dark elements it produced would also be spread throughout the entire city. Not only could it reinforce the city gates, but it could also provide for those demons.”
“Wow, that’s so convenient! Then we’ll go with that!” Shen Yanxiao no longer hesitated; she took out the three plants from her spatial ring. The underground bas.e.m.e.nt was too hidden, and she would not have discovered the place if it were not for Xiu’s help. Therefore, it was the safest place to plant the three plants.
Those three stalks of plants were of extreme importance to Shen Yanxiao. Not only was it related to her survival in the Forsaken Land, but it also concerned the unsealing of her subsequent seals.
“After starting the array, the dark elements here would be completely activated, and it would help the demons to evolve. The unique characteristics within their bodies would also stimulate a change in the dark elements, and at that time, I would be able to recover my strength at a faster speed,” Xiu explained.
However, there was a single point that Xiu did not cover.
The dark elements would spread rapidly around the city once they activated the array. Soon, all the demons around the Sun Never Sets would notice that, and they would enter the city in large batches.
After they resolved the problem with the plants, Shen Yanxiao looked at the dark crystal and asked, “What should we do with this?”
“Place it here. The dark elements will replenish the dark crystal’s depleted elements. At that time, you can use it to reinforce other cities.”
Reinforce… other cities!
Shen Yanxiao blinked in surprise. Indeed, as long as she completed the construction of Sun Never Sets, she could then expand toward the surrounding cities.
