Not to mention the outcome of the battle between Cao Wenjin and the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, Zhou Yang went into the Lingshi Mine to dig for seven or eight days.
For seven or eight days, he did three hours of mining and one hour of rest.
After continuing to dig like this for seven or eight days, the length of the mine tunnel he dug has reached several thousand feet.
It's just that after digging for so long, Zhou Yang still didn't find the high-grade spiritual stone he wanted. Instead, he dug a lot of medium-grade spiritual stones. After cutting, there would probably be more than a hundred pieces, and even more low-grade spiritual stones, at least.
Four to five thousand yuan.
Of course, this harvest does not satisfy Zhou Yang. After all, Rhinoceros Continent is not a kind place now. Every extra day of stay brings more dangers.
"Did I dig in the wrong direction?"
Judging from the number of middle-grade spiritual stones excavated, this spiritual stone mine must be a small or larger spiritual stone mine, so there must be high-grade spiritual stones.
Zhou Yang had been digging for so long but could not find a high-grade spiritual stone, which made him wonder if he was digging in the wrong direction.
Unfortunately, although everyone knows that high-grade spiritual stones are produced in spiritual stone mines, how to dig this kind of treasure from the spiritual stone mines has always been a mystery.
Even those sects with thousands of years of heritage cannot accurately dig out all the high-grade spiritual stones in a spiritual stone mine. They can only obtain them by casting a wide net and slowly digging.
Zhou Yang had previously thought that the direction that suppressed his spiritual consciousness was more likely to contain high-grade spiritual stones, but now he had doubts about this speculation and suspected that he had dug in the wrong direction.
So after his eyes flickered for a while, he suddenly changed the direction of digging and started digging in the direction that originally caused the spiritual energy to rise into the sky.
After digging like this for another two days, Zhou Yang, who was digging with his spiritual sword, suddenly sensed a wave of extremely pure spiritual energy appearing from the front. This made him feel happy and he quickly accelerated the digging speed.
After a while, he dug out an earth-yellow spiritual stone the size of a human head.
The spiritual energy emitted by this earthy yellow spiritual stone is extremely pure, much purer than ordinary middle-grade spiritual stones. However, Zhou Yang himself does not believe that such a large spiritual stone is a high-grade spiritual stone.
"Could it be that the real high-grade spiritual stone is hidden inside this spiritual stone, and the spiritual stones outside are just its companions?"
He looked at the spirit stone in his hand, his eyes flashing, as if he had thought of something inside.
Then, after pondering for a moment, he took the flying sword in hand and carefully input mana to cut the spirit stone.
After a cup of tea, Zhou Yang finally peeled off all the "coats" that wrapped the genuine high-grade spiritual stone, and obtained the first high-grade spiritual stone in his life.
This top-grade spiritual stone is about one finger long, three fingers wide and half an inch thick. It is golden in color like the finest jade and exudes dazzling spiritual light.
Compared with middle-grade spiritual stones and low-grade spiritual stones, although the spiritual power of high-grade spiritual stones is many times more pure and concentrated, no spiritual energy is emitted, and the spiritual power is completely restrained.
This kind of restrained spiritual power is the biggest characteristic that distinguishes high-grade spiritual stones from middle-grade and low-grade spiritual stones. For this reason, even if a high-grade spiritual stone is placed in a storage bag for thousands or ten thousand years, its spiritual power will not be lost or degraded.
Become a middle-grade spiritual stone.
As for the top-grade spiritual stones above the top-grade spiritual stones, it is said that not only will their spiritual power not be lost, but if they are placed in a place with rich spiritual energy, they will actively absorb spiritual energy to replenish the consumed spiritual energy, reaching the level of infinite recycling!
"This is a top-grade spiritual stone!"
"I wonder if this high-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to two or three pieces in terms of the number of spiritual stones? There is no way such a large spiritual stone can be counted as just one piece!"
Zhou Yang couldn't put it down and played with the spirit stone in his hand, his eyes full of excitement.
Although he had never seen a high-grade spiritual stone before and did not know how to classify the volume standards of high-grade spiritual stones, he also knew that with the size of the high-grade spiritual stone in his hand, it would definitely not be counted as a standard volume high-grade spiritual stone.
Spiritual stone.
With just this high-grade spiritual stone, all his hard work these days was worth it.
After playing with the high-grade spiritual stones in his hand for a while, he carefully packed them in a jade box and put them in a storage bag. Then he put the middle-grade spiritual stones that were previously wrapped in high-grade spiritual stones in a separate jade box.
Arrived to the side.
Although the concentration of spiritual power of these middle-grade spiritual stones wrapped with high-grade spiritual stones is completely incomparable to that of high-grade spiritual stones, they are still much better than ordinary middle-grade spiritual stones.
In the future, whether it is used to replenish mana in battle or as a power source for third-level puppet beasts, the effect will definitely be better than using ordinary mid-grade spiritual stones.
After putting away these spiritual stones, Zhou Yang continued to dig deeper with his flying sword full of energy.
On the other hand, it was said that after Jin Peng returned to Rhinoceros Continent, he plunged into the cave that originally belonged to the "Golden Horned Rhinoceros" to recuperate.
The injuries on its body look very serious, but in fact they are just flesh wounds. With the powerful self-healing ability of its fifth-level high-grade monster, such injuries can be fully recovered by just resting for a few days.
In fact, if it wasn't afraid that it would lose face if it were seen by other monsters when it returned to the Duanyun Mountains, there would be no need for it to come to Rhinoceros Continent to recuperate.
After more than ten days of rest, all the wounds on Jin Peng's body were healed, and the feathers that had fallen off were replaced with new ones.
Although these newly grown feathers are not as strong as the original feathers that have been tempered by its magic power for a long time, there will be no problem in supporting flight.
And after these days of recuperation, it has completely driven out the remaining space power in the body.
After his body recovered, Jin Peng naturally no longer had any nostalgia for Rhinoceros Continent. He immediately flew out of the cave and prepared to return to the Duanyun Mountains to explain the situation to the Fire Scale Demon King.
But as soon as it flew hundreds of miles away, it seemed to remember something and started to patrol the entire oasis again.
Although Rhinoceros Island is large, at the speed of Jinpeng, it can fly around the oasis in less than an hour.
The eyesight of eagles is extremely strong. The eyes of the fifth-level high-grade monster Golden-winged Thunder Eagle can even see through most of the illusions and illusion formation changes below the fifth level, and can see through the effects of various Qi-condensing and breath-hiding secret techniques.
The changes in the spiritual energy of the clear world can even be seen through the soil, sand and stones!
Jinpeng was flying thousands of feet high in the sky, scanning the oasis land below. Those monsters that looked huge and conspicuous but only had first- and second-level mana auras were directly ignored by it. Its targets were not these low-level monsters.
Level monster.
After a moment, a sneer flashed in its eyes, and it found its target.
Boom!
There was only a thunderous explosion, and a foundation-building monk who had dug a basement to hide in the ground dozens of feet deep was directly struck to death by a bolt of lightning that fell from the sky in the basement.
Boom! Boom!
Thunderous sounds like the horns of death soon sounded everywhere on the Rhinoceros Continent. After every thunder, one or more monks who were still hiding on the Rhinoceros Continent were killed in their hiding places without exception.
.
After killing more than a dozen monks who were still on Rhinoceros Continent, Jin Peng finally flew over the spirit stone mine.
Originally, if the Lingshi Mine had not been discovered, even with Jin Peng's eyesight, it would be impossible to see clearly that there was a Lingshi Mine here from the sky.
But now, although Zhou Yang and others deliberately sealed the entrance to the mine when digging, they could not seal the spiritual energy that was escaping.
In the eyes of Jin Peng in the sky, the entrances to the mines below, which exude spiritual energy, are as dazzling as bright lights in the dark night.
"Oh, there is actually a spirit stone mine here?"
Its eyes flashed with surprise, and it was also a little surprised by the existence of the Lingshi Mine.
Ordinary fifth-level monsters may not care about things like spirit stone mines, because they can't use them at all.
But Jin Peng is different. Jin Peng has been following the Demon King for a long time, and he vaguely knows that there are actually some secret transactions between his Demon King and some high-level monks in the world of human immortality. The demand for spiritual stones is much greater than that of ordinary Demon Kings.
.
There are also many spirit stone mines in the Duanyun Mountain Range, but once those spirit stone mines are discovered, they will be dug out by the monster kings who drive some monster beasts who are good at digging.
Then the demon kings took the high-grade spiritual stones and the best-grade spiritual stones for themselves. The medium-grade spiritual stones and low-grade spiritual stones followed the practices of human monks and were used directly to improve the level of certain spiritual veins in their territory, or to create achievements.
New spiritual veins.
Therefore, Jin Peng felt that if he could inform his king of the existence of this spiritual stone mine, maybe he would be rewarded if he was happy.
"It just so happens that my defensive magic weapon was damaged by that damn human monk. If the king rewards me, I will ask you to refine another defensive magic weapon for me!"
The divine light in its eyes flashed, and when it looked at the spirit stone mine below, it was already filled with murderous intent.
Now that he has made up his mind to dedicate the spirit stone mine to the "mountain-moving demon king" behind him, Jin Peng will certainly not watch human immortal cultivators "steal" things that belong to his own king.
I saw it flap its wings, and golden thunderbolts condensed into thunderballs the size of human heads and fell towards the exits of the mines.
Boom!
After an explosion that shook the earth, all the tunnels in the Lingshi Mine collapsed downwards. The monks who were mining inside, including Zhou Yang, were all buried alive on the spot.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, and the special force field in the Lingshi Mine that blocked the monks inside from sensing the outside world, even Zhou Yang had no sense before the mine tunnel collapsed.
Therefore, when the billions of silt piles above his head pressed down, he only had time to activate his protective magical power "Qianyang Golden Light" before he was buried deep in the ground.
Fortunately, the "golden light of the dry sun" slightly blocked the falling sand, and he used the "earth escape technique" in time to shuttle through the sand and save his life.
However, although he saved his life by relying on the "Earth Escape Technique", due to the terrain changes caused by the collapse of the mine tunnel, it will be impossible to open any more mine tunnels for excavation in a short period of time.
And a question that worried him even more was, who was attacking the mine?
