Li Miao said to me with a smile.
"Since Brother Wu wants to go back to the cave to have a look, Heizi, Daozhang Zhang, I and I should wait for you and Xiao Yuan here. You can put Lao Cao down and I will take care of him. Otherwise, you will be holding him while walking around. It’s also quite tiring.”
He has always been so understanding.
"Then I'll trouble Brother Li."
So, Xiao Yuan and I returned to the underground cave and came to Cao Sen's blackened and broken "corpse".
If my guess is correct, Cao Sen wants the [Coffin God Village] to move with him, and that thing must be carried with him to make it possible.
Now that the devil has been killed and beaten into pieces by Lao Cao, we have to look for these "pieces"...
"Silly fat bird, let's get half of each of us?"
"You said you'd do what you said and I'd do half the job? Isn't that very shameless!"
"Ten big wild catfish, five boiled, five pickled peppers."
"For the sake of brother, what does face mean? Okay, just do as you say, Mr. Wu!"
"..."
So, Madoka and I searched very carefully among the broken pieces of the corpse of the demon Cao Sen.
I searched very carefully, even breaking apart and crushing every piece to look at it.
Madoka was rummaging there while muttering.
"Oh, what a waste. This good evil spirit has a body that is comparable to an iron armor, and it also has the aura of the Corpse King. It must taste very delicious, and it can increase the strength of my bird master. It's a pity, it's all burnt. All the mana has been burned...it shouldn't be edible, right? Why don't you try it?"
I was speechless for a while.
This stupid bird is really weird!
Of course, I didn’t seem to actually try to eat it.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, too lazy to pay attention to this idiot, and continued to search carefully.
Then……
"Huh? This piece is so hard that it can't be crushed."
I looked at the black pieces in my hand that were about half the size of a child's fist, and I had a feeling in my heart that maybe I had gained something!
Although Cao Sen's body was as hard as an iron armor, it was beaten to pieces by Madoka and I, and then was hit solidly by the [Golden Thunder Summoning Talisman]. In the end, Lao Cao used all the power of [Devil-killing Corpse Binding Rope] to kill him, burnt him, and broke him into pieces.
Therefore, the corpse fragments scattered on the ground are already very brittle and will break into powder with a little force.
But this thing in front of me...
Although it is also charred black, it is still as hard as steel!
It's not like Cao Sen's body fragments.
I put this thing on the ground, then pulled out the star blade, raised my hand and slashed it with my sword.
clang! ! !
A harsh metal tremble sounded, still echoing in the silent cave.
Madoka, who was rolling around on the ground with her butt stuck out, was startled, and she immediately turned back and glared at me.
"Wu boy, what are you doing! I almost deafened my ears. Believe it or not, I am cutting you!"
"Don't be a fool. Come over and take a look. I think you've found something. This thing is definitely not Cao Sen's body. It looks like some kind of metal or mineral."
Madoka heard this and hurried over.
I stretched out my hand, and an invisible force took the black thing on the ground back into my hand. The fat bird's furry head came close to my palm, and I stared at it carefully.
"Boy Wu, this thing looks a bit like..."
"Black phantom!"
I took over Madoka's words.
That's right!
The black substance half the size of a fist in front of me is probably a mysterious black phantom [ore type]!
The reason why I didn't judge it right away was because the mysterious black phantom breath it exuded was relatively weak - the energy fluctuations were much weaker than the one Dong Wan had embedded in the middle of his eyebrows before.
I don’t know whether it’s because the quality of this [Mysterious Black Illusion] is relatively low, or because it was used by Cao Sen to provide energy for the prototype of the [Coffin God Village] Cave Heaven, which consumed most of the energy... Or maybe it’s me. The fight just now consumed too much energy, and your perception has become dull?
Otherwise, I have taken [plant-based] mysterious black phantoms myself, and I will be more sensitive to this kind of smell than ordinary people.
But no matter what, the possibility of this being a mysterious black phantom ore is as high as 90%!
As for the demon Cao Sen, he most likely used the huge energy contained in this thing itself and certain magical effects to evolve the prototype of the [Coffin God Village] Cave Heaven with himself as the source.
Madoka suggested.
"Boy Wu, can you put a drop of blood on it and try it? I think that since you have eaten the mysterious black phantom, maybe your breath or blood essence can make it react a little bit. And you can also confirm whether this thing is mysterious or not. Dark fantasy.”
"Okay, you idiot, you finally made a reliable suggestion."
Out of caution, I placed the thing again on a large rock.
Then with a thought, the energy and blood in the body flowed, the muscles and skin became strong, and a bead-like drop of essence and blood emerged from the tip of the middle finger of the right hand.
After internal martial arts practitioners step into the level of [Transformation Energy], their control over their physical bodies has reached an almost incredible level.
So if you want to bleed, you no longer need to bite your fingertips with your teeth or use a sharp instrument to make a small cut to bleed.
With the movement of your mind, you can move Qi and blood in your body at will, and control the blood flow and muscle and skin tissues! It can make the blood roll out directly.
I turned my right hand, palm down...
Snap!
The bead-like essence and blood dripped from the fingertips and hit the black ore that was half the size of a fist.
After a while.
Buzz buzz...
The black ore trembled, and mysterious and unpredictable aura spread from it.
The air around it was stirred into wind, as if it had become something tangible, surrounding it like fluttering transparent silk.
"It is indeed a mysterious black phantom!"
I was shocked, mixed with joy and surprise, and had mixed emotions.
Fortunately, this thing is commonly known as a "fairy thing" in the spiritual world, saying that it is something from the fairy world and does not belong to the human world!
Surprisingly, there is still too little information about [Black Phantom Object]. Master said that every [mysterious black phantom] discovered has a different effect...
Although there is no distinction between good and evil for them, for people in our world, they are actually good and bad!
I'm not sure yet, what is the specific function of this mineral-like mysterious black phantom?
But since Cao Sen can use its power to open up the prototype of the cave...
So, it should be related to the "magic circle", right?
I felt a little hesitant.
"Would you like to try injecting your own true energy into it and see what the reaction is?"
But thinking about the tragic situation in which Zhu Qihan was eroded and controlled by the "black bug" before, he felt a little uneasy.
Madoka, this idiot, saw my concerns and encouraged me.
"Wu Boy, let's give it a try! This is a mysterious black phantom of mineral type, not a living creature. It shouldn't be a big problem. Just stay away and there won't be any danger. In fact, as your cultivation level improves, I have regained a little bit of my memory..."
