Chapter 718 It is the crystal nucleus

However, despite Li Luo's careful movements, the zombie still sensed something was wrong.

It began to struggle wildly, pressing its head against the iron railing, as if trying to get out of the small gap.

Its nose was sniffing the surrounding air frantically, and its hands were desperately reaching outside the railing, trying to grab something.

Li Luo's heart tightened, but she did not stop what she was doing.

She stabilized her emotions and continued to use the scalpel to cut an incision in the zombie's chest.

Her eyes were focused and firm, as if she was performing a delicate operation.

After cutting open the zombie's chest, Li Luo stared intently at the fingernail-sized crystal buried deep in the rotting heart.

It exudes a faint light, as if whispering some secret.

Li Luo controlled the scalpel from a distance, her fingers trembling slightly, as if she was having an invisible communication with the scalpel.

Her eyes are focused and sharp, as if she wants to penetrate the surface of the crystal and explore its inner mysteries.

She carefully adjusted the angle of the scalpel so that it was at the right distance from the lens.

Every tiny movement is full of caution, for fear of causing the slightest deviation.

Li Luo took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions. She had to ensure precise movements to avoid causing any damage to the crystal.

The blade of the scalpel shimmered faintly in the air, echoing the light of the crystal.

The next second, Li Luo gently waved the scalpel, drawing a subtle trajectory in the air.

The blade of the scalpel cuts into the crystal at an almost perfect angle without making any sound.

The moment the crystal was cut off, the zombie's struggle suddenly became more intense, and a low roar came from its throat, like the magic sound coming from the Nine Nether Hell, which made people's hair stand on end.

However, Li Luo's movements did not stop at all.

Her face was as heavy as water, her eyes were firm, and she controlled the scalpel with rock-steady hands, delivering the decisive blow with lightning speed.

I saw a small piece of crystal stained with blood falling like a broken leaf in the wind.

Li Luo was calm and composed, her calm posture was like that of a battle-hardened veteran, she accurately controlled the scalpel and caught the small piece of free-falling crystal.

Then, she flicked her fingers, and at her call, the scalpel flew back to her as lightly as a bird returning to its nest. The whole movement is like flowing clouds and flowing water, completed in one go.

Li Luo completely ignored the restless zombies beside her. She frowned slightly and stared at the crystal piece stained with blood.

It was as if in her eyes, this crystal was some dirty thing that people could not avoid.

But this is also true, this crystal is indeed dirty!

It was stained not only with the blood of zombies, but also with some disgusting organs and tissues.

The blood had coagulated, forming black spots on the surface of the crystal, as if they were coagulated dirty blood.

The organs and tissues adhered to the gaps in the crystal, and some of them had dried up and turned into brown-black lumps, exuding a stench.

If you look closely, you can still see some tiny maggots squirming in the organ tissue. They seem to regard this crystal as food and work hard to get inside.

The surface of the crystal is also covered with tiny bumps and pits, reminiscent of a toad's skin.

What's worse is that there is some yellow-green liquid on it, which may be pus or other disgusting secretions from the corpse.

These liquids have begun to dry out, leaving traces on the surface of the crystal, as if they were covered in yellow-green snot.

In general, anyone who sees such crystals can't help but feel nauseated.

Li Luo stopped looking at the crystal in disgust. She adjusted her breathing, circulated the supernatural power in her body, and began to establish contact with the surrounding water elements.

As she concentrated, the water elements around her began to stir.

They felt Li Luo's call and gathered towards her.

Rays of light blue light flashed around her, as if countless elves were dancing happily.

These pale blue lights became brighter and brighter. They intertwined and merged with each other, gradually forming a fist-sized water ball.

The water ball fluttered gently in Li Luo's hand, as if it was alive.

Li Luo gently held the water ball and slowly brought it to the crystal. The water ball seemed to be conscious, automatically wrapping the dirty crystal.

The moment the crystal was wrapped in a ball of water, the dirt on the surface began to loosen.

I saw that the water ball began to rotate slowly, and the light blue light inside became more dazzling.

The dirt is gradually decomposed and melted in the rotation of the water ball, the black spots slowly disappear, and the coagulated blood is also purified.

As the cleaning progresses, the light inside the water ball gradually becomes richer.

The organs and tissues that were originally adhered to the gaps in the crystal were also decomposed by the power of the water polo, turning into tiny particles that drifted away with the flow of the water polo.

The water ball continued to rotate, and it penetrated deep into the interior of the crystal, removing all the dirt hidden in the depths.

The yellow-green liquid gradually became clear under the influence of the water polo, and finally disappeared completely.

When all the dirt on the surface of the crystal is cleaned away, the water ball begins to slowly shrink.

Its light gradually converged, and finally turned into a crystal clear drop of water, dripping on the ground.

Li Luo carefully picked up the rinsed crystal. Its surface exuded a faint light and was crystal clear, like a precious work of art.

The disgusting dirt was gone, replaced by a pure and mysterious aura.

And Li Luo's face finally showed a satisfied smile.

She looked at the crystal carefully, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Then, slowly close your eyes, concentrate, and begin to feel the energy contained in it.

At first, Li Luo could only feel an extremely weak energy fluctuation.

This energy was so small that Li Luo almost doubted whether there was something wrong with his perception.

However, she knew that her perception had always been sharp, so she explored the crystal more intently.

As time went by, Li Luo gradually became aware of the weak energy flow within the crystal.

This energy seems to be a thin line, meandering inside the crystal, vaguely present. Its presence is so subtle that it seems like it could disappear into the air at any moment.

This familiar energy fluctuation...

Same as crystal core!

It is the crystal nucleus!

Li Luo couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart. What was so special about such a weak crystal nucleus?

Its energy is so small that it doesn't seem to be of much help in upgrading abilities.
