"I feel like we are constantly going deeper." Sun Bin said.
"We are indeed going deeper underground. The depth of where we are now is more than a hundred meters lower than at the beginning." The spiritual compass in Ji Xiaoxiao's hand showed the corresponding data. She looked at it.
After that, he said to his companions.
"Look at that..." Wang Chao suddenly shouted, and Ji Xiaoxiao and the others immediately looked in the direction he raised his hand to point.
A huge worm covered with spikes appeared on the horizon in the distance. This furnace worm was more than ten meters long and was gray-brown in color, the same color as the surrounding plants.
If it lies motionless among the plants and you don't observe it carefully, you will ignore it.
At this moment, this huge gray-brown worm was crawling towards where Wang Chao and the four of them were, and it would make a tiny squeaking sound as it crawled.
"It's coming towards us." Cheng Ling couldn't help but get goosebumps as he looked at the creepy giant worm, and said to his companions, "Let's get away quickly!"
"Yeah." Ji Xiaoxiao and the other three nodded, and then they prepared to walk to the right to avoid the path of the giant gray-brown worm.
But just when they walked a dozen meters away, a giant gray-brown worm crawling slowly was attacked. The huge movement attracted the attention of Wang Chao and his party.
Turning his head to look, he saw a giant grey-brown worm slowly crawling along its path. More than twenty meters away from it, there was a sudden loud noise on the ground.
Then a worm of the same size emerged from the ground, but the color of this worm was somewhat different from the giant gray-brown worm. Its body was gray-white.
When the giant gray-brown worm saw someone of its kind blocking the way, it immediately stopped and then let out a harsh squeaking sound, as if it was trying to scare away the person blocking the way.
However, the giant gray-white worm ignored the opponent's shouts and quickly crawled towards the gray-brown giant worm.
The giant gray-brown worm saw this and became very angry and let out an even harsher cry.
Wang Chao and his party originally thought that the worm's crawling speed was very slow, but this time they discovered that the other party's speed was not slow at all.
The giant worm with a gray-white body quickly approached the giant worm with a gray-brown body. Then its body contracted inward and opened like a spring. The entire huge body rose from the ground and flew towards the opponent.
Seeing the annoying similar species rushing toward him, the huge gray-brown worm immediately compressed its body and ejected to the side.
"Bang, bang."
Two worms weighing several tons fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Under the gaze of Wang Chao and his party, the two worms repeated the same action like springs, one escaping and the other chasing.
"Are these two strange beasts joking?" Cheng Ling said with surprise as he looked at the two worms in front of him that exuded first-stage psychic energy fluctuations.
"I thought they were going to fight, but it turned out to be a chase and escape game. I have grown so big for nothing." Sun Bin said very disappointed.
"There's nothing interesting to see, let's keep moving forward! See if there are any other interesting creatures ahead." Wang Chao said.
Ji Xiaoxiao raised an objection at this time, "Wait a minute, take another look at those two strange beasts."
"What's wrong? Did you find anything special about them?" Cheng Ling looked at Ji Xiaoxiao and asked doubtfully.
"Perceive that gray-white worm beast carefully. The spiritual energy fluctuations on its body are rapidly increasing.
As it strengthens, the spiritual energy floating in the air is quickly absorbed by it." Ji Xiaoxiao told the three companions around him about the abnormality he discovered.
"It is indeed! Strange, what is going on?" Wang Chao sensed it and said in surprise. Sun Bin and Cheng Ling also sensed it.
Because they discovered something unusual about the worm beast, Wang Chao and the other four decided to stay where they were and continue to observe to see if there were any new changes.
"Bang bang bang."
The game of chasing and escaping is still going on, but fortunately, these two worms and beasts did not keep Wang Chao and his party waiting for a long time before new changes appeared.
The giant gray-brown worm kept trying to avoid being chased by its kind. Although he tried very hard to avoid it, he was still caught up by the gray-white giant worm.
After being caught up, an unexpected scene happened for Wang Chao and the other four people. Two worms and alien beasts began to multiply in front of them.
"..."
Wang Chao and the four others were silent for a while, but they still insisted on waiting to see if there were any new changes.
The reproduction time of the two worm beasts was very short, and they stopped after about five minutes.
After the giant gray-white worm finished reproducing, it rolled off its back and fell to the ground motionless. The spiritual energy fluctuations and life breath on its body began to dissipate as time went by.
But at this time, the giant gray-brown worm didn't even glance at the gray-white giant worm. It crawled away quickly and disappeared after a while.
A huge gray-white worm fell to the ground motionless. At this time, its body quickly ossified, and its spiritual energy fluctuations and life breath were extremely weak, and it might completely dissipate in a few moments.
Wang Chao and four others came to the giant gray-white worm beast that was about to die. Looking at the gray-white mountain of flesh, the four of them observed it carefully, and then looked at each other in confusion.
"This alien beast died after reproducing, and its body became rigid very quickly." Cheng Ling said.
"During the process of death, it is still absorbing the spiritual energy floating in the air. Why is this?" Sun Bin said very puzzled.
Wang Chao pulled out the long sword, a spiritual weapon, from his back, and said while composing a poem that he wanted to strike the dead gray-white giant worm with a sword.
"Cut open its body and take a look inside. Maybe we will know why it continues to absorb spiritual energy in the air during its death."
Just when Wang Chao was about to use the spiritual sword to strike a few blows at the dead worm beast, Ji Xiaoxiao stopped him.
"Wait a minute, don't rush to slap some swords on it."
"What's wrong?" Wang Chao looked at Ji Xiaoxiao and asked doubtfully.
"I sense that it is undergoing earth-shaking changes. What this change will look like should be revealed soon."
Ji Xiaoxiao, who was the most powerful, used his senses to carefully examine the condition of the giant gray-white worm, and caught every trace of strange changes.
After hearing Ji Xiaoxiao's conclusion, Wang Chao and the other three fell silent, and then quietly waited for the abnormal changes in the giant gray-white worm beast.
"Buzz."
After waiting for about ten minutes, the spiritual energy fluctuations and life breath of the giant gray-white worm beast completely disappeared. At this time, its body emitted invisible ripples.
Immediately afterwards, its rigid body changed its material form visibly to the naked eye, becoming like a rock.
In just three minutes, the giant gray-white worm beast turned into a large pile of gray-white rock.
Witnessing the transformation of the worm beast, the four people in Ji Xiaoxiao's group opened their mouths in surprise.
The alien beast that was a flesh-and-blood creature a moment ago has unexpectedly changed its physical form in such a short period of time. This kind of thing can only be seen in the spirit world. On the Blue Star, talking about this kind of thing to others,
I'm afraid no one will believe it.
What shocked Wang Chao and the other four people even more happened. After the giant gray-white worm turned into a pile of gray-white rock, they actually sensed psychic energy fluctuations from the gray-white rock.
"Dong dong dong."
A subtle sound came from the gray-white rock, getting louder and louder as time went by, and then with a click, the gray-white rock cracked from the middle.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chao and the four others became alert, stepped back a few meters, and then observed the strange phenomenon in front of them.
"Click, click, click."
A minute later, the gray-white rock completely broke in the middle, and then a juvenile gray-white worm creature that was only one meter long crawled out from the gray-white rock.
"Zhizhizhi..."
After the young gray-white worm crawled out, it screamed a few times toward where Wang Chao and his party were, then contracted its body and ejected like a spring. It bounced several dozen meters away before disappearing.
"It can actually regenerate after death and transform into a juvenile form. This kind of worm beast is so amazing!" Cheng Ling admired as he looked in the direction in which the young worm beast disappeared.
"I remember that there are several similar beasts in our illustrated book of strange beasts in the spiritual world, but this is the first time I have seen them die in this way." Sun Bin recalled the illustrated book of strange beasts he had seen before.
, said.
"Yes, I have also seen that although it is rare for such strange beasts to be reborn as young children in the spiritual world after death, it does not mean that they do not exist." Wang Chao said.
While the three of them were chatting, Ji Xiaoxiao walked towards the gray-white rock left behind after the death of the adult worm beast.
Wang Chao and the others saw Ji Xiaoxiao walking over and immediately followed. When they came to the gray-white rock, they saw that the gray-white rock occasionally flashed with light golden light.
"this……"
Ji Xiaoxiao knelt down and picked up a small piece of gray-white rock from the ground. She touched it up close and used her senses to explore the gray-white rock in her hand. A surprise expression appeared on her face.
"This gray-white rock should be a psychic material that we have never seen before."
"Ah?" After hearing Ji Xiaoxiao's conclusion, Wang Chao and the other three people all let out a cry of surprise. Then they also squatted down, picked up the gray-white rock, and felt it carefully.
Weak spiritual energy emanates from the gray-white rock. If that's all it is, it can only be regarded as a spiritual energy material.
However, if you pour spiritual energy into this gray-white rock, you will find that the spiritual energy flows into it very smoothly. This property immediately makes this gray-white spiritual energy material more valuable by several levels.
Psychic materials can absorb psionic energy smoothly, which proves that the psionic conductivity is very high. When used to make some spiritual weapons, the quality will be very good.
"After our discovery was reported, it was a great achievement!" Cheng Ling said in surprise.
She looked at the gray-white rock in her hand with a smile on her face.
It is extremely rare to discover a new material that has never been seen before and is very suitable for using it to make spiritual weapons.
"Our luck is really good! We took shelter from the rain and came to this cave, and we unexpectedly encountered such a good thing." Sun Bin said with a smile.
"Thanks to my instructions to come to this cave, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to discover this new material." Cheng Ling said proudly.
"If I hadn't insisted on taking a look inside the cave, we wouldn't have discovered this new material." Wang Chao laughed.
"But you wouldn't want to go into the cave without me specifying that you want to come to this cave!" Cheng Ling responded.
"Okay, you two, stop arguing, and don't get too happy too early.
If the number of such worms and beasts is very small, the new material discovered will only add another category to our psychic material catalog and will not have a particularly big effect on us." Ji Xiaoxiao analyzed calmly.
.
After hearing Ji Xiaoxiao's analysis, Wang Chao and the three others calmed down.
Indeed, as Ji Xiaoxiao said, it is good to discover new materials, but if this material is particularly rare, then it will not be of great use to Blue Star's overall spiritual weapon manufacturing industry.
"Let's continue walking forward and see if there are many of these worms and strange beasts?" Ji Xiaoxiao said.
Afterwards, a group of four people each packed some of this new off-white material into their bags, and then set off to continue moving deeper into the underground space.
Originally, Ji Xiaoxiao was worried that the quantity of this new material was not large enough to meet the consumption of Blue Star's current spiritual weapon manufacturing industry.
But as they moved deeper into this underground space, they found that their worries were unnecessary.
Walking forward, one after another gray-white rocks appeared in front of the four people, densely packed all over the underground space.
And as you go deeper, you can find more and more gray-white rocks.
If such a large amount could be transported back to Blue Star, it would be a huge benefit to the entire spiritual weapon manufacturing industry.
"Great, with so many new materials, our spiritual weapon manufacturing industry will produce a large number of high-quality spiritual weapons." Cheng Ling looked at the new materials that could be seen everywhere in front of him, and was overjoyed to see the people around him.
said the companion.
"We will report the situation here later and build a road here so that we can transport these new materials back efficiently," Sun Bin said.
"This credit is not small." Wang Chao said with a smile.
Compared to the joy of the three companions, Ji Xiaoxiao stared in the direction to the right with a serious face.
