They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 51 The Temple Hidden in the Sea of ​​Quanta (Please recommend and continue reading)
After sending Ashley back to the tribe, Danlei said he was finally free from carrying around a little burden.

All I can say is that this little girl is sensible and doesn't cause trouble, but weakness is her original sin, and ultimately she is not one of my kind.

However, after bringing Ashley back, Dan Lei also received the mission reward, which was the helmet made from the shell of a sub-scorpion.

Of course, the most important place is the convergence of the seven oases.

Just as Dan Lei had predicted, this place was indeed a blessed land, in a physical sense.

Yes, the surface of this place is still a barren desert, and an ugly sinkhole was left behind after the probe buried deep by the Erudite Society was dug up.

However, when Dan Lei went directly down into the sinkhole, he found that the activity level of the earth's veins inside was terrifyingly high.

Moreover, based on the flow of the earth's energy veins, Dan Lei had the unicorn dig a hole, and they quickly discovered a massive, geothermal lava cavity with an underground lake and geothermal activity.

It can be said that this basic lava cavern, apart from the lack of food and the fact that the underground lake water is too mineral-rich for ordinary people to drink directly, is a good location to build a magic workshop.

However, neither of these problems is a problem for Danlei. With enough ley line magic, it is a small matter to switch himself to the ground. He can solve the food problem by either trading with the surrounding tribes or hunting in the wild.

As for the water, is it difficult to purify the mineral water in the underground lake into pure water using magic? Moreover, the Vidyadharas drink seawater without any problem. The fact that the mineral content in this cave is excessive means that it is only for ordinary people. At most, Danlei will only experience a bad taste and diarrhea after drinking it.

So Danlei immediately began setting up the magic workshop. Aijihazo has a crystal mine with properties very similar to crystal, which is one of their few special products that can be exported to the universe.

Dan Lei tested this thing and found it to be a good magic ore. So, after modifying it with magic, Dan Lei began to set up a ley line absorption array.

However, Dan Lei encountered a problem as soon as the formation was set up.

That underground lake, this seemingly ordinary underground lake, actually intercepted almost half of the magic power of its own ley line absorption array.

Although the half of the magic power left for Dan Lei was far greater than the ley line absorption array he had set up on Mount Fuji, this act, which felt like a tax being levied on Dan Lei, made him extremely unhappy.

So Danlei got fed up and released a Yoriichi Type 0 Magical Puppet into the water to see what was drawing his magic power.

Then, the puppet was scattered by the violent magic inside the water within minutes of entering it.

Danlei found this interesting and, after setting up his magic workshop on the ley line absorption array, began to continuously create puppets to explore the underground lake.

The materials were upgraded from ordinary metals to crystal ore from Ejihazo, but none of them could last for two hours in the lake's sewers.

Moreover, this underground water network is quite complex. Even if you follow the flow of magic, you won't be able to find out where the underground lake is sending the ley line energy it absorbed from you to after two hours.

As for Dan Lei going down to explore in person, Dan Lei said he wasn't stupid.

One's own physical body is more durable than a puppet's, and the Holy Grail can also ensure that the impact of ley line energy on oneself is, to some extent, a way of recharging oneself.

But what if we go deeper and find that the end is some kind of super monster?
In underwater combat, Dan Lei can basically only rely on water magic and cloud chanting techniques. His greatest weapon, the Sun Wheel Greatsword, is halved in power in its high-heat mode. If he can't win, he's just throwing his life away.

Therefore, Danlei would be better off using local materials and having the crystal mine golem go directly to the bottom of the lake to collect the stones as materials.

These stones were definitely not recently formed. After I started to charge the lake water, they showed no signs of being eroded by magic. They were clearly materials that were averse to magic.

Although this thing can't be made into a puppet, it can be made into a protective shell for a puppet. It's better to make it swim slowly underwater than to destroy it in two hours.

However, this approach revealed another problem for Dan Lei: the protective shell also prevented him from connecting the puppet using magic. Fortunately, this was the Star Iron Universe; if magic didn't work, he could rely on technology. He could simply go to Earth, find some space refugees, and buy a small, somewhat intelligent machine that could record images.

In conclusion, this underwater exploration puppet, which combines magic and science in a physical sense, finally met Dan Lei's needs.

Then, after a long underwater journey of more than ten hours, it found the second basic lava cavity by following the flow of magic and sent the coordinates to Danlei through a small machine.

Dan Lei used the unicorn to dig a hole in the ground to reach the second basic lava cavity. After setting up the ground absorption array again, sure enough, this place was also "taxed".

Furthermore, the flow of underwater magic has changed.

At this moment, Dan Lei had a rough idea of ​​the truth: the water network of this underground lake, whether natural or man-made, had most likely formed a massive planetary energy array.

It's unclear what it's for, but the fact that a knowledgeable person who doesn't understand planetary geomancy would insert a probe near their original cavern would clearly disrupt the formation.

Moreover, the point of damage may not be just that one.

Therefore, when the entire planet was scanned later, the Bo Shi Society could not find anything and could only regard the local legends as rumors.

Therefore, there was only one thing Dan Lei could do at this point: to find a way to repair the formation and then see what it was used for.

Two years later, relying on the continuous flow of underwater magic, Danlei cleared the blockages and found a total of seven caves, which matched the seven oases in the Ashley tribe's legend.

Moreover, in the past two years, because he activated the earth's veins and waterways, the oases on the surface have begun to grow in size and become thriving.

At the same time, in just two years, six super ley line absorption arrays absorbed ley line energy to form magical crystals.

The Holy Grail of Danlei is now fully charged with energy.

However, Dan Lei did not travel through time immediately.

In Danlei's view, unraveling the mystery of the temple in mythology is more appealing to him.

However, when he found the seventh underground cave, Dan Lei did not rush to set up the earth vein absorption array.

Dan Lei suddenly had a premonition that if he didn't set a switch for the seven ley line absorption arrays, he might cause a major disaster.

Therefore, before setting up the seventh ley line absorption array, Dan Lei returned to the first six caves and left a switch to ensure that the ley line absorption array could be turned off with one click.

Then, when the seventh ley line absorption array was completed, the robot placed on the ground for observation immediately sent a message to itself.

"A super-large sandstorm has appeared on the surface, covering all the oases in this area."

Without hesitation, Dan Lei used a displacement magic trick to go to the ground.

Then, inside the sandstorm, a convergence point of the earth's veins appeared. After forcibly breaking through the sandstorm to get here, a temple was seen hanging upside down in the air, with huge insect-shaped symbols visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, it is clear that this temple does not exist in the real world; it is filled with quantum power and seems to be submerged in a quantum sea.

However, the energy of the earth's veins has opened a channel here, somewhat similar to the channel from the Sea of ​​Quanta in Honkai Impact 3rd.
