The encirclement dispersed, and the Quartz Clan members no longer cared about the Cube before them.
They swarmed off elsewhere, running toward an upward passage.
Mo Ling's curiosity rose, and he hurried after them.
He wanted to see what exactly this group of Quartz Clan members was looking for.
Following the mine vein passage upward, the Quartz Clan crossed a bridge and arrived at a platform beside a mine vein.
There were also some motionless Quartz Clan members here. They were all very small and pressed tightly against the mine vein, apparently newborns who had only just been born.
However, the focus was not on these newborns, but on a Quartz Clan member beside them with an unusually tall, strange build.
His originally transparent, crystalline quartz body was covered in bright cyan specks, as conspicuous as cyan ink bleeding into clear water.
This Quartz Clan member stared at the changes on his body in shock as well, watching the scattered cyan spots slowly spread.
The cyan did not directly replace the original color. Instead, it gradually stained the transparency around it, deepening from light to dark.

Mo Ling had finally seen the Divergent Vein Disease Shi Beng had spoken of with his own eyes.
So this was the real patient.
The Quartz Clan's voices sounded like an alarm, warning that a Divergent Vein Disease patient had been discovered within the Mine Stronghold.
Mo Ling had merely stumbled into the situation and happened to be mistaken for one.
The Quartz Clan member before them, who was slowly being contaminated by cyan, was the true target of the alarm.
By then, the Quartz Clan had already surrounded the patient. Some were also waking the newborns, trying to get them away from the area.
