Afterwards, Guan Heng led Tu Gong Toad, Whirlpool Xiaoxie and Zhu Teng Manhao around the cave.
That kind of red and black stone balls seems to be very rare. After everyone searched for a while, they found more than twenty. Guan Heng said: "Well, these are enough. They should be used as 'samples' for Ding Ling to try using the red and black stone balls here." Stone is used as a material to refine imitations.”
"Master Guan, are you looking for me?" At this moment, Tu Gong Toad had summoned the Cauldron Spirit. Guan Heng nodded and said, "Yes, there happens to be a new thing that I want you to imitate." After that, He took out a stone ball and shook it in front of the opponent.
"Huh? This is...'Red Ink Stone Yuanzhu'!" Ding Ling obviously knew this kind of thing. The first time he saw this thing, he immediately screamed. Hearing this, Guan Heng's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "It seems that you know the details of this thing very well?"
"Hehehe, I can't say I understand him very well, but I know a little bit."
Ding Ling returned to his calm state at this time, smiled and continued: "Shi Yuanzhu is an ancient artifact that was originally derived over a long period of time. It is very rare. If you are not very lucky, you will not be able to see it at all. The rarity is almost the same as that of sea tires.”
"Ha, our luck has always been very good." Tu Gong Toad said from the side: "As long as you follow Mr. Guan, you can always see good things."
"I absolutely believe this." Ding Ling said to Guan Heng at this time: "Master Guan, since you have found this object, you must know a thing or two about its uses, right?"
"That's right, I discovered that this Shi Yuan Pearl can store earth mysterious spiritual energy." Guan Hengyan said.
"That's right, this is the biggest benefit of Shi Yuanzhu, it collects and stores Xuan spiritual energy." Ding Ling nodded and said to Guan Heng: "But it is only limited to Earth Xuan spiritual energy. This is also its characteristic."
"Besides, are there any other uses for the red ink stone beads?"
"Yes, but I don't know everything." Ding Ling paused for a moment before saying, "But if you leave it to me, I can always explore its uses."
"That's what I meant." Guan Heng nodded, and then said: "We found a lot of stone yuan beads, and I will give them to you later. In addition, you can see if the red and black stones all over the ground can be used as raw materials. Imitation stone beads?"
"Hey, these are..."
Just now, the Cauldron Spirit was only talking to Guan Heng and the others, not paying attention to where it was. At this moment, it glanced at the red and black stones around it, and suddenly whispered: "These are the 'semi-finished products' of Shi Yuanzhu. Due to the lack of spiritual energy, they That’s why it didn’t take shape in the end, it’s a good thing.”
Immediately afterwards, Cauldron Ling continued: "The weakness of these semi-finished stone beads is that they are too fragile and lack spiritual nourishment."
"But it doesn't matter. Put them into the Ethereal Toad Cauldron and wash and moisturize them with spiritual energy for a period of time. I guarantee that they will be able to turn into high-quality stone beads by themselves without us processing them."
"Great, I've been waiting for your words."
Guan Heng nodded, and then said: "Let's do this. Move the entire cave where the Shi Yuanzhu is located to the Toad Cauldron. Cauldron Ling, you find a place full of spiritual energy and place them. You can take care of the rest." Bar."
"I have only one request. Soon, try to provide us with red ink stone beads that can store earth mysterious spiritual energy."
"No problem, Mr. Guan." Ding Ling said in a comprehensive manner: "This is a trivial matter. As long as you have any request, I will comply with it."
"Okay, let's take action immediately."
"As ordered." Guan Heng and his companions hurriedly walked out of the cave at this moment, and things became much easier to handle after that. The Ethereal Toad Cauldron took the entire cave into the cauldron, and Guan Heng and the others continued to patrol and search ahead.
Along the way, the one who worked hardest to find all kinds of useful things was the Zhuteng Manhao. It looked left and right, and sniffed the surroundings with its long nose from time to time. The vortex spirit Xiaoxie followed it, and sometimes even lay on the other side. Resting on the vines on the back, after a while, everyone came to a four-way intersection.
"Master Guan, look, there are four forked roads in total." Tu Gong Toad said, "Which way should we take?"
"Let's ask Man Xi and Xiao Xie first." After Guan Heng finished speaking, he looked at the two of them. Almost at the same time, Zhu Teng Man Xi and Wu Ling Xiao Xie both raised their paws and pointed at the first tunnel on the upper left. Guan Heng smiled slightly: "As expected, I also think it should be there."
"But my feeling is a little different." Seeing everyone's decision, Tu Gong Toad said with some astonishment: "There is no trace of evil spirits or other things on that road."
"That's why we chose that place as the first exploration target." Guan Heng said: "If I guessed correctly, the other three forked roads are all dead ends. The weird smell and gray mist emitting on these roads are all caused by someone. The illusion of something being released.”
"Is that so?!" Tu Gong Toad didn't think so far this time, but after being reminded by Guan Heng, it finally woke up and said, "It makes sense."
"Of course, although our inference is 90% sure, it may not be completely correct. So, you send the little Toad clone to check the situation of the other three forked roads, and we can just wait for a while."
"Okay." After hearing Guan Heng's words, the Earth Palace Toad immediately nodded in agreement, and then sent out dozens of "Flying Wing Little Earth Toads" to quickly check the remaining forks.
After a few breaths, everyone reported the investigation results one after another, and Tu Gong Toad exclaimed: "As expected, the other three paths are dead ends!"
"Then let's go." As he said that, Guan Heng waved to Zhu Teng Barbarian, who immediately trotted towards that road, followed closely by Guan Heng and Tu Gong Toad, who were beside him. Not long after, everyone arrived at the wide area adjacent to this tunnel.
"There are many animal bone remains on the ground. Is this the cemetery of some ancient alien beast?" Tu Gong Toad said.
Guan Heng thought for a moment and said casually: "It's possible, but there isn't much smell of death and rotting corpses here. Even the tombs were destroyed many years ago. It was probably caused by the changes in the earth's crust and the repeated collapse of the underground area. .”
"Let's go and look further." As he said that, Guan Heng led everyone forward. On the road, the number of animal corpses continued to decrease, replaced by large areas of rugged rocks and even pitch-black plants.
Since the Zhuteng Manhao had never been to this place, it was somewhat interested in those dark plants. It even wanted to stretch out its claws to touch the corners of the plants. Seeing this, Xiaoxie, the vortex spirit, immediately screamed: "Zhizhizhizhi" , squeak!”
That means reminding your companions not to touch those things casually. Hearing this sound, the Zhuteng Manzi was still a little puzzled. It hummed in a low voice, asking: "Why can't you touch it?"
"Oh, those things are most likely mutated types after absorbing evil energy."
