Yan Changlan was one step ahead of Ye Shu, jumping ahead.
It's not because of anything else, but because he possesses thunder spirit roots and is the most resistant to lightning. If there is any danger in this mine, it is probably related to lightning, so it would be more appropriate for him to take the lead.
Ye Shu understood his intention and took advantage of the situation.
When the two of them landed on the ground, Yan Changlan raised his hand and swiped his clumsy thunder sword, knocking down several lightning bolts that came towards him.
Followed by a little bit of lightning, crackling and flashing, but the power of each one is not very great, and for a monk who is successful in body training, it will not cause much harm.
Ye Shu scanned the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness and said, "There are many scratches from the three-eyed thunder eagle here. It also spent a lot of effort digging for the thunder stone."
Yan Changlan took a look and agreed: "It's true, the mine walls are full of holes."
This place is indeed a rich mine. As soon as the two entered the mine, they saw dense holes, ranging in size. They were undoubtedly pecked by the eagle's beak. In addition, there were many long claw marks, which can be seen. Imagine that when the three-eyed thunder eagle gets impatient and pecks everywhere, it will use its sharp claws to scratch straight down. There are also many small holes in the claw marks, where the thunder stone should have been inlaid - I guess it was originally inlaid. Once caught, they all rolled out.
The mine is not too deep, which means it is taller than the original size of the Three-Eyed Thunder Eagle. It should have been digging from top to bottom, gradually forming such a hole.
Moreover, in addition to the place where the two stood and the surrounding space of more than three feet in radius, there are still solid mine walls further away. If you want to collect more thunder stones, you have to dig deeper.
Ye Shu turned his consciousness to the inside of the mine wall on the left and felt a flash of lightning inside. It was difficult to tell how many thunder stones there were, but there was no doubt that there were definitely a lot of them and they were densely distributed.
Yan Changlan also checked, but his consciousness penetrated to the right, and he still saw a large number of thunder stones far away.
Then the two of them explored forward and backward, and also found many thunder stones. But they didn't just explore the surroundings, because there was also a lot of thunder and lightning coming from below where they were staying. It can be seen that if they continue to dig deeper, they can also find a lot of thunder stones, so they naturally have to check it out.
After half a cup of tea——
Ye Shu said: "It extends a hundred feet to the left, ten feet to the front, and about five feet below."
Yan Changlan also said: "It extends twenty feet to the right and three feet to the rear. However, it seems to be uneven. In the few places I observed, the deeper you go, the fewer the number of thunder stones."
Ye Shu pondered for a moment: "I looked at the front and below, but on the left, there are more thunder stones as you go inward, and after thirty feet, there are fewer and fewer..."
When the two of them talked about it, it was almost clear.
Thirty feet to the left of where they are standing now is the center of this thunder spirit stone vein. The quality of the thunder spirit stone there should be higher. Whether it can reach the quality of the top grade thunder spirit stone, it must be dug first. Look again.
Ye Shu then ordered: "Fierce face, and you..." He looked at the toothy vicious insects. Since they were not the original first-generation vicious insects, and they had not been named, he directly gave the order, "Just replace them." I will dig out all these thunder stones."
The shells of the vicious rodent insects are very strong, and they are not afraid of the slight thunder and lightning that leaks from the thunder stone from time to time. When they listen to the order, they jump up without hesitation and continue to devour the mine walls.
The vicious-faced spider scorpion is not even afraid of thunder and lightning, but it has always been rebellious, but it refuses to just go away obediently.
Ye Shu was used to its disobedience and skillfully suppressed it with his thoughts.
Reluctantly, the vicious-faced spider scorpion transformed from a half-sized scorpion into a giant scorpion and slammed into the nearest mine wall fiercely.
Because the space dug out by the three-eyed thunder eagle was not very big, the vicious-faced spider scorpion hit Ye Shu hard.
Ye Shu only glanced at it, but his feet were still very steady.
However, Yan Changlan was a little unhappy when he saw it, and asked in a low voice: "Azhuo, does it hurt?"
Ye Shu said: "It can't hurt me. It lost its strength when it hit me. It just wanted to lose its temper."
Yan Changlan snorted coldly: "The fierce face is getting more and more surly now. I will go and spar with it later - no, it is not afraid of spar. It is better to starve it for a while and lock it for a while to make it calm down. Just calm down."
Ye Shu understood that his Taoist companions had always loved him, so he only became annoyed with Xiongmian because of a trivial matter. But after leaving the secret realm this time, in order to prevent the evil side from breaking through, I originally wanted to suppress it, so I agreed.
"You really need to suppress its temper and do as you say."
Yan Changlan heard his lover's indulgence and knew that he was making a fuss out of a molehill. He couldn't help but laugh, and his anger disappeared.
·
After the vicious-faced spider scorpion hit the mine wall, a depression was created in the mine wall. Many thunder stones appeared inside, and some fell directly to the ground.
Then it moved more swiftly, poking and flicking the tail hook, and the mine wall was suddenly severely damaged. With the sound of the tail hook pulling, a large piece of thunder stone fell down with a "crash", and the lightning flashed on the mine wall. Together. After a few pulls, numerous spider threads were ejected, all scattered and pierced into the mine wall, and then stirred rapidly, each time pulling out ten or more thunder stones.
The rodents soon began to eat the mine walls.
Yes, they are already very experienced. They do not go to chew the mine walls near one or two thunder stones alone. Instead, they move their tentacles slightly, seeming to sense where the power of thunder and lightning is stronger, and quickly eat that area. The walls of the mine were quickly eaten away, and at the same time, those Thunder Spirit Stones that could no longer be embedded fell down and piled up...
·
Ye Shu and Yan Changlan did not move.
Both of them knew that with their abilities, even if they went to mine, they would not be as fast as these ferocious insects. On the contrary, they would be held back because the pestle was there to make them go around.
So the two of them just scanned the spirit stones as usual, roughly counting the number. When they saw that the thunder spirit stones were about to block the path of the vicious insects, they collected them all in an instant.
Yan Changlan sighed while collecting it: "I didn't expect that the thunder spirit stone veins in this mountain would be so rich."
Ye Shu said: "There must have been a very rich Lingshi mine in this mountain for a long time. Later, thunder continued to fall, and the Lingshi mine mutated, turning it into a vein of Thunder Lingshi."
Yan Changlan nodded and said: "I'm afraid that's the case." Then he smiled happily and said, "No matter what, it's an advantage for you and me now."
Ye Shu also smiled: "Not bad."
——The two of them had personally excavated a quite rich spiritual stone vein before. That place produced a considerable amount of middle-grade spiritual stones and more than a hundred high-grade spiritual stones, which was really a huge fortune. And the vein they discovered now was wider than the previous one, and the number of Thunder Spirit Stones contained in it seemed to be still higher than that of the previous vein. How could they not be shocked?
·
With the help of their previous mining experience, the vicious-faced spider scorpions and rodent insects were able to go more smoothly this time. Although there were more thunder stones and the work was more arduous, it still did not hinder them.
In about half an hour, the ferocious insects had hollowed out all the spiritual stones in the front, back, right, and bottom directions, and the hundred-foot-long mine tunnel on the left was also rapidly deepened and widened by them.
Don't look at the fact that most of the Thunder Spirit Stones here are middle grade, but when they dig to the edge, some low grade Thunder Spirit Stones also appear. It's just that the number of these low-grade ones is far less than that of the middle-grade ones. They only appear about two feet away from the edge of the veins, which is extremely rare...
Gradually, we are approaching the center of the Leiling Stone vein.
There are indeed more middle-grade Thunder Spirit Stones here, and they are denser. Every time a spider thread pierces the mine wall, almost hundreds of Thunder Spirit Stones are brought out. At the same time, several high-grade thunder spirit stones also fell.
Up to this moment, Ye Shu and Yan Changlan had collected a quite terrifying amount of Thunder Spirit Stones.
The more the evil insects dig, the more they rise.
When they really reached the center, high-grade spiritual stones appeared in clusters, and every time they were dug, bright lightning would burst out, filling the entire cave with electric light several times, and electric snakes dancing crazily.
Yan Changlan stood in front, with his palms slightly open, and he pushed away all the electric snakes. Even if there were some thunder and lightning that came towards them, they were all absorbed by his palms and submerged into his body.
Ye Shu was firmly protected by Yan Changlan behind him, with soft eyes. In fact, both of them knew that with Ye Shu's ability, these thunder and lightning could not do anything to him, but it was difficult for him to directly absorb the thunder and lightning, and if he absorbed these thunder and lightning to refine his body, , and it always involves some pain, and it is not very suitable... If it is not necessary, Yan Changlan will not do it. As for taking more time, it doesn't really matter.
·
Soon, most of the lightning in the cave disappeared.
The top-grade thunder stones on the ground were also piled up like a hill. The purple light was very bright, and the entire cave was reflected in a bright purple color, which was very beautiful.
Ye Shu directly collected the high-grade thunder stones. Although he did not count them in detail, there were more than 300 in this small pile, which was already more than the number of high-grade thunder stones in the previous mine.
This time the mine is indeed richer than the previous one.
As the vicious-faced spider scorpion dug deeper and deeper, it looked like a tail hook was about to pierce into the core——
Suddenly, Yan Changlan stopped him: "Wait a minute."
The fierce-faced spider scorpion was not willing to listen carefully to Ye Shu's words, let alone Yan Changlan's? It pretended it didn't know, and the tail hook only paused slightly before continuing to stab forward.
At this time, Yan Changlan's Zhuo Lei Sword was blocked in front of the tail hook, and Ye Shu also showed a look of anger, and suppressed it with willpower, which made the huge figure of the vicious-faced spider scorpion tremble, and the tail hook was lost. strength.
Ye Shu said coldly: "Ferocious face, if you are unwilling to obey, you can go back to Hunyuanzhu from now on."
The vicious-faced spider scorpion was so shaken that it felt dizzy and uncomfortable. When it heard what Ye Shu meant, its anger subsided a lot and it slowly lay down... This was considered a sign of resignation.
Yan Changlan did not pay attention to how his lover taught the disobedient insect. He walked to the mine wall that was almost pierced by the tail hook, and slowly drilled small holes in the top with his Thunder Sword.
After the small hole was opened, the Thunder Sword was expanded to both sides, and a small hole appeared that could accommodate a palm.
Yan Changlan's right hand was wrapped in a layer of purple light, and then he probed into it.
