Chapter 481 Rune System
Su Chen checked and found that he needed less than 4,000 energy points before he could perform the next enhancement.
He thought for a moment, then turned to look at Tong Fei.
"Are there any more of the energy cores we just collected?"
"Uh...yes!"
Tong Fei snapped out of her daze and took all the energy cores from the vampire bats she had just collected.
Su Chen opened the bag and roughly counted about a dozen or so.
Based on the assumption that each vampire bat provides 100 energy points, I would need to hunt 20 more vampire bats!
But there's no rush.
After all, Su Chen's injuries had not yet fully healed.
He plopped down on the ground, took out food and water from his storage space, and gave them to Tong Fei.
Tong Fei was also exhausted and hungry.
She didn't refuse and took it directly. Ignoring the mess around her, she sat down next to Su Chen and started eating without any ladylike manners.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two rested for a while.
Only now have Su Chen's injuries been completely healed.
However, the vampire bats that escaped have not yet returned.
Su Chen wasn't in a hurry.
He first called out Mengqi's name loudly.
Before long, the sound of rapid footsteps rang out.
Soon, Mengqi appeared in front of Su Chen!
"Meow meow meow……"
Mengqi threw herself onto Su Chen, seemingly expressing her concern.
Su Chen laughed and patted its head.
After the two, one human and one cat, cuddled for a while, Su Chen said to Tong Fei,
"The swarm of vampire bats hasn't returned yet. Why don't we continue deeper in and see if there's anything else?"
Tong Fei naturally had no objections.
The two used flashlights to search the area again, making sure all the alien crystals had been collected before continuing their journey.
The surrounding space quickly became narrow.
After walking for about ten minutes, Su Chen, the two humans, and the cat suddenly found themselves in a relatively spacious cave.
In the very center of the cave is an irregularly shaped stone platform.
Scattered on it were all sorts of bones.
Surprisingly, there was a small hole in the top leading to the outside.
A faint light shone down from the cave entrance.
"This must be the Vampire Bat King's residence, right?"
Tong Fei spoke up.
"should be."
Su Chen nodded.
He walked around the cave and found it to be a dead end with no treasure.
Just as he was about to take Mengqi and Tongfei back to the huge space they had just left, he suddenly noticed a stalactite on the stone platform in the middle.
At the top of the pillar, there seemed to be something glittering.
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he leaped up onto the stone platform.
When he got closer to the stalactite, he discovered that there were two pieces of something that looked like alien crystals on the pillar.
Su Chen will temporarily refer to them as crystals.
Unlike other crystals, this crystal is engraved with many patterns.
After Su Chen took it in his hands, he examined it carefully.
Only then did he notice.
The patterns carved on the two crystals were surprisingly different.
What is this stuff?
Su Chen was completely bewildered.
But then he remembered that he was a man with a system.
Scanning and detection.
"Energy Storage Rune!"
"Psionic runes!"
Su Chen was stunned.
He carefully looked at the descriptions of the two in the system.
After a moment, he suddenly realized!
The patterns carved on these two crystals are called runes.
If you carve along their paths on the heteromorphic crystal, you can gain additional benefits.
Take, for example, energy storage runes.
It can store the user's mental energy, up to half, and for a maximum of three days!
As for psionic runes...
That would be even simpler and more direct.
When a user uses their special abilities, they can first channel their mental energy into the psychic runes.
The power released in this way is at least 30% stronger!
Su Chen's eyes lit up, and the smile on his lips was harder to suppress than an AK-47!
The usefulness of energy storage runes goes without saying.
Battles between superpowered individuals are a contest of who has the highest level of spiritual attainment and the strongest mental power.
If you have a power-storage rune, you won't be so restricted when using your electric eye.
Psionic runes are even simpler and more straightforward.
My own mental strength was already powerful enough.
The power of the superpowers he uses is also greater than that of other evolved beings.
If it's further enhanced with psionic runes, who could withstand it?
just.
How can such powerful runes be engraved onto the alien crystal?
Su Chen stroked his chin, lost in thought.
Unfortunately, the system gave no further prompts.
Forget it.
Let's put this thing away for now and figure it out later.
Thinking this, Su Chen put the two runes into his storage space.
Just as he was about to leave, another question suddenly arose in his mind.
Why would such runes appear in a secret realm?
Moreover, it is different from energy crystals, energy cores, and heteromorphic crystals.
These runes are quite exquisite; they don't seem to be naturally formed at all, but rather more like they were created through later research.
Could it be that someone... deliberately placed it here?
But what is their purpose in placing it here?
Is it similar to an online game, with the secret realm being like a dungeon?
Is this the reward I received after killing the Vampire Bat King?
The more Su Chen thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
But what followed was a deep sense of fear!
If that's the case, then the end of the world... was unleashed by the person behind it all?!
What kind of abilities does the other party possess?
Su Chen felt his hands and feet were ice-cold, and his heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cave!
This is the fear that arises from the powerful unknown!
"Boss Su, Boss Su..."
Just then, Tong Fei's shouts from below the stage finally woke Su Chen up!
Su Chen snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and suppressed the fear in his heart.
He pretended to be nonchalant and left the stone platform.
"Boss Su, what just happened to you?"
Tong Fei looked at him with some surprise.
Su Chen had been on stage for so long that she even thought he might have encountered some unseen danger.
"Nothing."
Su Chen smiled faintly.
Everything that just happened was merely his conjecture, and there was no need to tell outsiders.
He will find an opportunity to further verify his hypothesis!
Su Chen led Tong Fei and Meng Qi away from the Vampire Bat King's lair and back to the huge space they had just been in.
By this time, quite a few vampire bats had flown back.
Before the main force returned, Su Chen immediately started attacking them.
In no time at all, he had killed more than thirty vampire bats!
It was getting late.
And the number of vampire bats is increasing.
Su Chen didn't dare to delay either, and quickly walked out of the cave with Tong Fei and Meng Qi!
By the time they left the cave, it was already getting dark outside.
