Chapter 2006 Placed It

The dragon soul crystal was too big to be placed in his backpack.

He would first shatter it into fragments, then use the warp backpack slots to fill them with the fragments and take them away!

He would pack as much as he could. Taking back some fragments was better than getting nothing at all!

“Okay, be careful. I’ll cover you.”

Gu Qingzhu agreed to Fang Heng’s suggestion and nodded. She took half a step back and remained vigilant of her surroundings.

“Good!”

Fang Heng no longer hesitated. He took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and punched forward again.

“Bang!!!”

His fist struck the surface of the ice and instantly, an imprint left by the fist appeared on the ice.

“Ka! Kakaka!”

Tiny cracks quickly appeared on the surface of the ice and rapidly expanded!

“Boom!!!”

In an instant, the ice completely shattered in front of the two of them and the entire dragon soul crystal was completely exposed in front of Fang Heng.

What surprised Fang Heng was that the dragon soul crystal wasn’t damaged by his punch or the explosion of the ice crystals. Instead, it remained intact.

A single punch couldn’t blast through it?

It was a bit different from what he expected.

Fang Heng frowned.

The dragon soul crystal was extremely hard!

Buzz…!

In the next moment, a visible lifeblood ripple spread outward from the center, with the dragon soul crystal as the focal point!

The moment the dragon soul crystal’s ripple swept past him, Fang Heng felt the lifeblood in his body being slightly stirred.

Simultaneously, affected by the ripple, the players who were frozen in ice immediately sensed something, and their expressions changed.

Gu Qingzhu reminded him, “Not good! They’re about to wake up. Hurry up!”

“Yes!”

Fang Heng didn’t hesitate and touched the dragon soul crystal again.

In the next moment, a game notification appeared on his retina.

Hint: The player has discovered an item-dragon soul crystal.

Put it into his backpack!

Who cares if it’s useful or not, he would try it out first!

The stone was so big that it most likely couldn’t be directly stored in his backpack. Since he couldn’t directly cut it into pieces with ordinary methods, he would use the Holy Court’s holy weapon, the great sword!

Fang Heng had already prepared for the next step. His right hand was ready to summon the great holy sword. However, in the next second, a look of astonishment appeared on Fang Heng’s face.

Whoosh!!

What?!

The dragon soul crystal vanished into thin air before his eyes.

It actually…

The entire dragon soul was directly placed into his backpack?!

And he could directly pick it up?!

Before he could figure it out, Fang Heng suddenly felt a strong burning pain seeping out of his body!

What was that?!

“Chi, chi chi…”

Fang Heng felt as if there was a ball of raging fire burning fiercely in his body. The flames spread from the inside out, coming from his body and spreading out rapidly!

For a moment, Fang Heng felt that his skin had become extremely hot as if it was about to burn.

“Fang Heng?”

Gu Qingzhu didn’t expect Fang Heng to be able to pick up the dragon soul crystal directly. Seeing that he was still standing there in a daze, she immediately shouted.

When Fang Heng heard Gu Qingzhu’s shout, he immediately came back to his senses and gritted his teeth.

“Help me! Let’s go!”

In the next moment, Fang Heng had already sprinted toward the seventh basement of the research institute!

A holy artifact!

The dragon soul crystal was actually a holy artifact!

When Fang Heng saw that the dragon soul crystal did not appear in the warp backpack slot, he immediately understood what was going on.

Holy artifacts could ignore the difference between the game and the real world and could be placed directly into the backpack!

Moreover, it was considered a prop by default in the game, and it did not even count as a normal backpack slot or backpack load!

However, the dragon soul crystal was somewhat special. lt seemed to be able to cause a strong negative effect after being stored in the backpack. Every second after it was placed in the bag was a great torment.

The searing pain in his body grew stronger and stronger!

Fang Heng gritted his teeth!

The intense pain almost devoured his will. There was only one thought in his mind.

He would take a gamble and bring the dragon soul crystal away first!

Gu Qingzhu frowned and immediately followed Fang Heng to the upper level of the research institute!

The moment Fang Heng left the ice cellar.

“Bang! Bang Bang Bang!!!”

Large chunks of ice in the ice cellar exploded one after another.

The players woke up one by one and opened their eyes to look at the center of the ice cellar.

Everyone saw that the spot where the dragon soul crystals were stored was now empty.

Everyone’s eyes flashed with surprise.

The dragon soul crystal…

It had been snatched away!

The security of the research institute was extremely tight. Who could it be?

“Chase!”

Everyone immediately reacted and chased after the dragon soul crystal’s aura!

Almost all the players who cultivated with the help of the dragon soul crystal were not low-leveled. Not to mention, with the help of the dragon soul crystal’s power, his close combat strength had improved!

Everyone chased after the exit of the passageway and soon saw the backs of Fang Heng and Gu Qingzhu.

That young man! Where did he come from?

Ji Shaojie’s gaze was fixed on Fang Heng, and he was astonished.

The dragon soul crystal contained a huge treasure.

An SSS-level bloodline inheritance!

Dragon bloodline!

Without a doubt, the bloodline power could greatly increase a player’s strength and even achieve a qualitative change.

To awaken their bloodlines, many players, including Ji Shaojie, volunteered to help Miyamoto Teru in exchange for the opportunity to cultivate here.

As for whether he could obtain the dragon bloodline in the end, there was no guarantee.

Due to the intense energy in the dragon soul crystal, it was difficult for ordinary people to get close to it, and it was even more difficult to bring the dragon soul crystal into their backpack.

They all had a special ice soul jade pendant that could resist a small portion of the dragon soul crystal’s effect.

However, the ice soul jade pendant also had a negative effect.

For example, being frozen.

At this moment, Fang Heng could no longer sense the changes in the outside world.

The loss of a large amount of physical strength accompanied the intense pain. Under the influence of the dragon soul crystal, his skin even turned charred gray after being burned.

His internal organs felt like they were being melted by a raging fire.

Fang Heng was sure that if it wasn’t for the strengthening effect of his undying body, he wouldn’t have been able to last until now.

The only thing he could do now was to distinguish the direction!

Hold on for a while longer!

He could hold on until he entered that world!

Gu Qingzhu was a short distance behind Fang Heng. Seeing that Fang Heng was about to be caught up, she snorted coldly. After a quick pause, she suddenly turned around and waved the silver sword in her hand.

“Pfft! Chi chi!”

In an instant, a wave of sword light rained down like a silver waterfall!

The players who were chasing after him felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this. They did not dare to take it head-on and retreated one after another.

“Be careful!”

Another muscular player flashed out from the side, a large shield in front of him!

Shield of disaster!

The dark shield had a layer of dark light attached to it.

The silver sword energies landed on the shield of disaster and were absorbed by it.

Ji Shaojie leaped out of the crowd and flew up. In the blink of an eye, he had exchanged several blows with Gu Qingzhu.
