"Crack!"
The white bones at Xiaochen's feet could not withstand the passage of time and were crushed to pieces. The unknown creature seemed to have lost the last trace of its existence, leaving only white powder on the ground like powder.
The entire red soil area was quite large, and Xiao Chen had been walking for more than an hour without encountering anyone else.
Looking up, the white bones in front of me penetrated the earth. The white remains were like stalactites in an underground cave, layer upon layer.
Once you get closer, you can see that there is still a large gap between the bones.
"The towering three-bone peaks are at least several thousand meters high. On this slightly flat terrain, you should be able to see them from a distance..."
Xiaochen thought, but his pace did not slow down.
"It should still take some distance to go."
"Hiss!"
At this time, Xiaochen noticed a sudden pit on the ground in front of him. In the Wujie Abyss, he could only detect the distance within a few meters underground. Looking down, Xiaochen's mind seemed to have entered darkness, and he could not sense anything. , and those scavenging worms can often penetrate more than ten meters underground to carry out raids, so you should not take it lightly if you see any abnormalities on the ground.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly shook. The sword in Xiaochen's hand was ready to go, and his mind scanned to capture the traces of the monster.
"coming!"
And the place where the worm came out is... Xiaochen's feet!
Xiaochen suddenly jumped up to dodge, and the worm missed the target with one attack. The carrion-eating worm, which was more than ten meters long, burst out of the ground, and the mouthpiece full of fangs was roaring and twisting.
The collapsed soil and mist also shook. Looking closely, a deep pit with a diameter of about three meters appeared on the ground.
The worm missed the attack and retracted towards the ground.
"You're here and you want to run away!"
The long sword in Xiao Chen's hand buzzed, and under the guidance of his spiritual thoughts, a sword light shot out, straight into the worm's black and red twisted middle torso.
"call out!"
Easily, the sword sank into the worm's body.
"Hiss!!!!"
The worm was in pain and began to twist violently, causing the ground to shake.
"receive!"
As soon as the fingertips pulled, the long sword inside the worm's body suddenly upwards, piercing the mouthparts and coming out!
The viscous black liquid also spurted out from the worm's pierced mouthparts, falling like black asphalt rain.
Xiao Chen channeled his spiritual energy, and a burst of protective spiritual energy immediately rose around him. The black liquid dripped onto the ground, making a corrosive sound.
After receiving this fatal blow, the worm began to become crazy. Instead of retreating back to the hole, it rushed out of the ground, twisting and spitting out liquid.
Xiao Chen glanced at the long sword that was not stained with any dirt wrapped in spiritual energy. With a move of his fingertips, the long sword fell into his hand, and then he quickly stepped back dozens of meters.
The weakness of this scavenging worm is its seemingly indestructible mouthparts. As long as the venom connection port connected to the mouthparts is cut off, the worm will go crazy and die.
The worm that was more than ten meters long in front of him was not that big. Xiao Chen remembered that the largest scavenging worm he had ever seen was several thousand meters long. The burrow was hundreds of meters high. Wherever it passed, it was like The earth dragon turns over and destroys the world.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the worm's twisting began to become weak, but Xiao Chen did not dare to be careless at all, and the sword flew out again.
Just when it was about to be submerged into the worm's mouthparts again, the originally weak worm on the ground suddenly struggled violently, and its tail was whipped out like a sharp whip. This death-defying counterattack was really dangerous.
But Xiao Chen had already foreseen it. With his fingertips spinning and twisting, the long sword easily dodged the attack, and then submerged the mouthpiece again. After several sword attacks, the worm was completely dead.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen took a step closer. After the scavenging worm dies, the body will quickly turn into black water, so some important materials need to be collected quickly.
The worm seemed to be melting at this time. It was covered with black blood and looked very disgusting. Xiaochen frowned and plunged the long sword in his hand into the mouthparts of the worm. After a while, he found it. He picked up the poisonous sac of the worm, cut it off and took it away.
The poison sacs of carrion-eating worms are considered a rare material, and poison cultivators and animal cultivators are very fond of them, so they don't have to worry about a way out.
"5 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones are in hand."
Xiaochen carefully looked at the quality of the poison bag, nodded, and then carefully packed it in a jade box and put it in a storage bag.
Then he looked at the worm that had liquefied less than half, gave up the opportunity to harvest the glands in its tail, sheathed his sword and left.
Under the three white bones that rushed into the sky, Ma Liangyan was sitting on the broken bones on the ground, looking into the distance. Around him, more than 20 people had gathered.
"Brother Ma, how long do you have to wait? It's already half an hour..." Ma Dai stretched out and said lazily.
Ma Liangyan glanced at him, with a low expression but did not speak.
The lame man on the side realized what the boss meant and said, "Ma Dai, you are really burning your ass, why are you in such a hurry!"
After hearing this, Ma Dai didn't care. He curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "Yes, you can be patient."
"Okay! We are all brothers, there is nothing to argue about." Xiugao wiped the ax in his hand and persuaded with a smile.
The two stopped talking and turned their heads.
"Brother Xiu, this blood crystal mine..." Old Han sat next to Xiu Gao with a simple smile and whispered.
"Don't worry, I've already said it. Whoever finds the blood crystal mine belongs to the same person. We just keep each other company so that we can take care of each other!" Xiugao patted Lao Han on the shoulder and echoed, speaking loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
The matter of the blood crystal mine had already been mentioned at the previous night's party, and it was not a secret to everyone, so Xiugao was shouting so indifferently.
The other people looked at Ma Yanliang, who didn't care at all, and felt a little relieved.
They all came for the blood crystal mine promoted by Ma Liangyan and his group. The value of a piece of blood crystal mine is between a few hundred to several thousand low-grade spiritual stones. Compared with the rare spiritual embryos, these people obviously don't want it. With the idea of mining and getting rich.
If it was as rich as they claimed, then half a year's trip to Wujie Abyss would be enough for them to earn hundreds of mid-grade spiritual stones. Such a temptation would be too great.
If you are lucky enough and dig out high-grade or even top-grade blood crystal mines, each piece will be worth hundreds of mid-grade spiritual stones.
"Here comes another one!" The lame man said while looking at the figure walking towards them in the distance.
When everyone saw this, they looked over curiously. Xiugao recognized the man from a distance and immediately greeted him happily.
"Brother Xiao, you're fine!"
Xiaochen greeted calmly: "Brother Xiu."
Xiugao looked at the clothes on his body, and when he saw the faint blood stains on the hem of the clothes, his eyes froze, and then he quickly slid away and stepped forward and said: "Brother Xiao, you're a little early, you may have to wait for a while. "
Xiaochen nodded lightly, looked at the 20 or so people gathered, and said nothing more.
It took me almost two hours to get here, so there are still many people who are not looking in the right direction or have encountered accidents...
Xiugao looked at Xiaochen with a smile on his face, but he was quite shocked in his heart: the blood stain was new, which was unexpected, and it seemed that this person was not a fuel-efficient person...
After entering the temporary camp, Ma Yanliang nodded slightly towards Xiaochen as a greeting.
Xiaochen also responded, and then found a free bone and waited. At this time, there was no distinction between friend and foe for the time being, and he was not practicing.
His cultivation has long been on the verge of breakthrough, and further cultivation is nothing more than laying a solid foundation.
"Ling'er, can you hear me?" Xiaochen looked inward at himself and said to Ling'er, who was in a daze of boredom in the contract space.
"Master?" Ling'er reacted immediately after hearing this. She looked around in surprise, as if looking for the source of the sound.
"When can I go out? It's dark in here and so boring!"
"It still takes some time, just wait."
"Then I'll sleep for a while..." After hearing this, Ling'er lowered her head in despair and lay down in the space, planning to fall asleep.
Seeing this, Xiaochen ignored it and withdrew her spiritual thoughts. After more than ten days of practice, she had already mastered the two spells, which were her own help.
Everyone waited like this for another five hours before Ma Liangyan stood up and looked at the more than 60 people around him and said, "Everyone, get ready and leave."
Hearing this, everyone got up and stretched their muscles. After waiting for so long, those who have not yet arrived are either lost or encountered accidents.
There is really no need to continue wasting time.
Luo An hid behind the bones and watched everyone leave before gradually revealing his whereabouts. He was also a member of Ma Yanliang's team, but his purpose was just to monitor those people.
Looking at the distance again, Luo An left a mark and a text on the bones, then followed the crowd and fell a thousand meters away.
"Just make sure you don't get lost..."
Shortly after Luo An left, Sujue appeared next to the mark. He waved his spiritual power in his hand, and a text appeared: "More than 60 people from the Ma family headed to the northeast potholes, leaving soul-dispersing incense along the way as a guide."
"Pothole in the northeast? Could it be Pothole No. 4..." Suijue thought about Pothole No. 4 and the place where he and Ma Yanliang met at that time, and sneered at the corner of his mouth. He probably knew which way the other party would take.
He smiled coldly for a while, his shadowy eyes hidden under his hood, making it difficult to see his thoughts.
"Let's go, let's go to the front to entertain them." Suijue waved behind him, and then the group of people headed to the left.
The group of people walked through the dark red land and quickly disappeared into the mist.
"There is a worm pit ahead, and there are a lot of ravines and passages in it. Remember to follow closely and don't get lost." Ma Liangyan stood in front of a giant downward-facing pit and said behind him.
The pit is about forty to fifty meters high and looks deep and dark. You can see black liquid dripping from time to time on the cliff inside the cave. Some fluorescent moss grows in the cave, which is also the only source of light in the cave.
Xiao Chen squinted his eyes. The hole in front of him was undoubtedly the work of scavenging worms.
After swallowing his saliva, the cripple looked at the pothole in front of him. His left leg was still shaking a little and his face was tense. His left leg was injured in this pothole and has not been cured until now.
"Do you really want to go in? My instinct tells me that it's very dangerous inside!" Jin Li's hands and feet were shaking unnaturally, he took half a step back and whispered.
Seeing this, Xiugao laughed and said: "Wealth can be found in danger! If the blood crystal mine had been found casually, others would have discovered it long ago, Lao Jin."
Jin Li was silent at this time, his thoughts were constantly changing in his eyes. His Five Elements Taoist Technique could attract good luck and avoid disaster, but at this time, that technique brought him an extremely dangerous omen.
It's very possible that he died inside...
Should I risk it or should I back down?
Ma Liangyan obviously did not give him time to make a decision, so he took the lead and entered the cave.
Xiaochen also followed along with most of the crowd. When he passed in front of Jin Li, Xiaochen glanced at him sideways.
This person looks like this, and his body is shaking like a sugar sieve. However, there is no risk in cultivating immortality. The road to immortality is a road of life and death. If you are afraid of death, just turn back.
Seeing the crowd walking into the pit, Jin Li's face turned even paler. After thinking for a while, red threads popped up in his eyes, and he hurried to follow them as if he was risking his life.
This also surprised many people and gave him a sideways look.
