In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

A moment later, Rhine informed Mo Chen and Karen on the communication channel that he had gained something.

Mo Chen and the split pod shooter immediately moved closer to the little pea shooter's position, intending to study it carefully.

Rhine was very lucky. Not long after they separated, he quickly found a secret map in the ruins of a building.

Of course, this secret map is different from the secret map in the hands of Shuangbing.

The secret map of the Shuangbing combination shows the regional divisions of the entire secret realm, while the secret map found by Little Peashooter only shows the city-state area.

However, a few arrows are roughly used around the city-state area map to mark the surrounding areas.

"The northeast is the forest area where Rhine and I entered the secret realm..."

Karen's finger traced the arrow from the northeast to the city-state, pointing out the location where he and his younger brother appeared after entering the secret realm.

"The ruins of the city-state in the central area are my 'birth point'."

Mo Chen's gaze shifted from the city-state area to several other arrows, the southwest pointed to the mine area, the southeast pointed to the lake area, and the northwest pointed to the wasteland area.

"Since Rhine and Karen appeared in the forest after entering the secret realm, what if I appeared in the ruins of the city-state after entering the secret realm..."

"In other words, after Ms. Rosemary, Ashe, and Kaiwen enter the secret realm, they may appear in any of the three areas: mines, lakes, and wastelands."

The pod-splitting shooter took up Mo Chen's words and revealed other possibilities.

After everyone entered the secret realm, they were forced to separate. After excluding the forest and the ruins of the city-state, the remaining three areas were all likely to encounter missing companions.

"Our first goal is to find the core of the secret realm first. Only by mastering the core of the secret realm can we master the entire secret realm.

In this way, when leaving the secret realm, we only need to issue an order to expel other people in the secret realm, and we will not spend a lot of time searching for people in this vast secret realm. "

Mo Chen expressed his thoughts and was unanimously agreed by Rhine and Karen.

With the topographic map of the city-state in their hands, Mo Chen and the others successfully determined the location of the palace.

Now they plan to go to the palace to find the core of the secret realm that was born due to Bejeweled.

"Is it an illusion?"

Before taking a few steps, Mo Chen suddenly stopped moving forward and muttered to himself.

He turned his head and looked behind him in confusion, but there was nothing in his sight except the broken eaves and broken walls.

Mo Chen, who possesses three-attribute spiritual power, has very keen senses. Among the three of them, he was the only one who seemed to notice something.

Mo Chen always felt a chill on his back, as if he was being watched by someone all the time.

But there was no one else in this area except himself and his two spiritual warriors. Where did this feeling of being watched come from, Mo Chen didn't know.

"Householder, follow me quickly!"

The voice of the little Peashooter came from not far away. He and the Podshooter were already one step ahead.

Realizing that Mo Chen had not followed the team, Lai Yin immediately greeted him.

"Yeah, coming right away."

Although he was still confused, Mo Chen decided to ignore it. He responded to the little pea shooter's greeting and quickly followed up with his spiritual plant warrior.

Mo Chen had just left here when a small head suddenly popped out from behind a ruined wall.

This is a beautiful girl wearing a pure white dress, with long pink-white shawl hair shining with the brilliance of gems, and a pair of gentle pink eyes full of curiosity.

She quietly watched Mo Chen go away, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then chose to follow Mo Chen.

The girl's transparent body passed directly through the hiding wall and chased Mo Chen's back, always keeping a close distance from him.

······

After skipping the short and long journey, Mo Chen and the others finally arrived at the center of the ruins of the city-state.

What caught everyone's eyes were the ruins of the most majestic building in the Gem Kingdom in the past - the palace where the Gem Royal Family lived.

Said to be a ruin, in fact compared with other buildings, the extent of the palace's destruction was not too great.

It’s just that the columns collapsed and the dome collapsed...

Of course, compared with other buildings in the Gem Kingdom, the structure of the palace is relatively complete.

"Even if it becomes like this, it looks so spectacular."

Rhine, who had never seen much of the world, looked at the devastated palace in front of him with a dumbfounded expression.

"It can be seen that it had its glorious moments."

Thinking of the description of this palace in the book "The Kingdom of Gemstones", Karen couldn't help but sigh.

"Speaking of the house owner, if we successfully find the core of the secret realm and master it, wouldn't this city-state belong to us?"

The pod-splitting shooter, who seemed to have thought of something, turned around and asked Mo Chen, and received a positive answer from his own house owner.

"Yes, this is very reasonable. We discovered the secret realm, and we got the core of the secret realm first. The secret realm is naturally owned by War Garden No. 5905.

Of course, having a secret realm is a secret. You must not let the Federation or the Empire know about it, otherwise they will definitely come to rob it. "

While answering Karen's inquiry, Mo Chen recalled the scenes he had seen with his own eyes.

That prosperous and rich gem country that only exists in history.

Bring the Gem Nation back to glory? Make Gem Nation great again? It sounds very challenging.

In this way, is it necessary to re-establish a new gem city-state on these ruins?

"Let's go in and take a look. The core of the secret realm should be in the palace."

Mo Chen came back to his senses and slowly spoke to the two spirit-planting warriors beside him.

Little Peashooter and Podshooter nodded, loaded their firearms, and remained vigilant at all times.

Mo Chen took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pushed open the palace door.

······

After passing through the dilapidated corridor, the three of them arrived at the palace garden.

In the picture Mo Chen saw, the last survivors of the Gem Spirit Planting and several Gem Knights in the Gem Kingdom were here, desperately resisting the predators who surrounded them.

Rhine exclaimed: "So many gemstone statues!"

"There are those predators turned into."

Karen passed another gem statue and continued to add: "There are also gems that plant spirits."

Mo Chen stopped in front of a gem statue. He recognized the person he used to be, the gem knight who saved the young gem spirit.

This heroic knight maintained his most courageous posture until the last moment when he was transformed into a gem.

He looked forward, pointed the sword in his hand at the enemy in the distance, and stretched out a hand to block his people.

Even though his face had turned into a gem, Mo Chen could still imagine the firm look in the other person's eyes as if he was looking at death.

"Jewel Knight..."

Mo Chen admired these knights of the Gem Kingdom from the bottom of his heart. They were brave and fearless. In order to protect them, they were not afraid of anything.

"Can I also become a Jewel Knight?"

Mo Chen recalled the words of the jeweled knight in the throne room. Those words seemed to span time and space and were still fresh in Mo Chen's memory.

Yes, the throne room, that's where you should go.
