At the bottom of the dark underground river, Shen Chen kept paddling like a frog, swimming very fast towards the place where the black stone fish were densely packed.
With that layer of bubble-like water barrier, Shen Chen doesn't need to worry about water getting into his ears and nose. Similarly, after devouring a large amount of black stone fish flesh and blood, Shen Chen doesn't feel any discomfort even at the bottom of the air-deficient water. Breathing is labored, as if the blood vessels are automatically running to breathe...
In such a directionless swimming, I don't know how long it took, but the black stone fish swimming around Shen Chen became more and more dense.
This made Shen Chen extremely surprised. His previous thoughts were being verified bit by bit. As long as he could find the nest of these black stone fish, maybe... he could really find some of these legendary treasures...
"It's such a big underwater cave. The black stone fish seems to swim out from there..." After about half a stick of incense, a huge underwater rock wall suddenly appeared in front of Shen Chen. However, there was no such thing as this. It was blocked, and there was a cave at least two feet wide on the rock wall.
Shen Chen noticed that there were many palm-sized black shadows swimming in and out of the huge cave. However, when the rapid light from his forehead hit the entrance of the cave, the black shadows scurried away like frightened deer. , fled without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Shen Chen didn't hesitate, paddled quickly, and quickly got into the cave...
…
This cave is really big, and not only is it wide, but the passage is also long and winding. Shen Chen wandered in it for a long time without finding the end.
"Could this cave lead to a lake or pool..." During the paddling process, Shen Chen suddenly thought of a question.
At this thought, Shen Chen suddenly trembled with excitement. Whether the baby can be found depends entirely on chance, but the more important thing is to be able to leave this damn underground river.
After staying in the darkness and humidity for more than a month, to be honest, Shen Chen's bones were almost rusty. It is gratifying to have a strong increase in strength, but if you can't get out for the rest of your life, it is of no use. If you can, even if you want to be like Shen Chen didn't even frown when he ran out naked like a savage!
"Forget it, cross the river by feeling for the stones, one step at a time!" Shen Chen shook his head and tried to calm himself down as much as possible. The more desperate he was in such a desperate situation, the more he had to endure loneliness, otherwise he would still have to endure loneliness. Before he could see the light of day again, he drove himself crazy.
Afterwards, Shen Chen accelerated his paddling speed. At this time, he could clearly feel that the cave around him was getting narrower and narrower. When he came in, it was still a few feet wide, but now it was less than a foot wide.
And this situation became more and more obvious the deeper we went. After swimming for more than an hour, Shen Chen's paddling movements obviously slowed down.
At this time, he had already squeezed into a long rock channel less than three feet wide, and it was a bit difficult to stretch the water. Later, Shen Chen simply gave up paddling, grabbed the surrounding rock walls with both hands, and began to climb along.
"Damn it! Oh my God, you're playing tricks on me again!"
For more than a quarter of an hour, in a dark corner of the underground river, Shen Chen's heart tightened and he almost vomited blood out of anger.
It's not that Shen Chen is not reserved enough, it's that... there is no way out!
Shen Chen hated that he had been teased like this once in the canyon, and now, a scene that seemed familiar to him happened to him again.
At the moment, he is not forced into a corner and can retreat safely at any time. But the problem is that after swimming with all his strength for a long time, the cave turns out to be impassable. No one can be angry with this kind of bad luck!
In fact, the front is not completely blocked, but there is a pocket hole about one foot away. It is impossible for Shen Chen to get through it as boldly as the black stone fish!
The small hole is about half a foot wide, slightly larger than the diameter of the big ocean bowl. If it were Zhong Ling, with that little elf's figure, if he squeezed the two plump balls on his chest and her buttocks, it might still be possible. I can barely get through.
But for a big man like Shen Chen, unless... he knows the Bone Shrinking Kung Fu!
Shen Chen naturally didn't know how to shrink the bones, and he wasn't even sure if there was such a martial art in the world. Looking eagerly at the small hole in front of him, he seemed to be completely at a loss as well as sighing.
"Forget it, let's just think that I got into trouble today, take a look and leave, and find another way out!" After twitching in place for a while, Shen Chen gritted his teeth and decided to return the same way. Before leaving, Shen Chen reluctantly bent down and put his face close to the hole, wanting to see what was inside.
However, several beams of light from his forehead then shot into the small hole, illuminating the inside. For a moment, Shen Chen was dumbfounded.
It turns out that there is a cave behind this small cave entrance. On the other side of the rock wall more than ten feet thick, there is a spacious and huge natural stone chamber. Of course, the stone chamber is also completely submerged in the water.
What really surprised Lin Chen was that in the middle of the natural stone chamber, there was a towering stalagmite-like object, which was almost ten feet tall and no less thick than a thousand-year-old banyan tree. It stood there at the moment and was extremely spectacular.
In addition, the scene around the huge stalagmite in the water also surprised Shen Chen. The area around the stalagmite was densely packed with black shadows, just like a huge hornet's nest in the water.
And those black shadows are undoubtedly the black stone fish whose numbers are huge enough to shake the entire Tianlong Continent!
"Hiss... there are so many black stone fish, it's too scary. Could it be that I accidentally broke into the lair of these strange fish?" Shen Chen opened his mouth completely in surprise and took a breath of cold air. , Even though he had preyed on a lot of black stone fish before, Shen Chen still had a dream-like illusion when he saw this scene.
There were so many black stone fish. Shen Chen did a visual inspection and found that there must be at least tens of thousands of them!
Tens of thousands of black rockfish?
If this kind of nonsense were told to the outside world, it would definitely make people laugh out loud, and bragging would not be so outrageous. But right now, what is in front of Shen Chen is indeed so outrageous. If it were spread, I'm afraid, The princes of the world, the mighty ones, the giants from all directions, all want to fight for their lives to find this place.
By then, I am afraid that even if they have to dig three thousand feet into the ground, the big shots in Tianlong Continent will have to catch all these rare treasures!
"Gulu..." Shen Chen swallowed hard. He couldn't get tired of the delicious black stone fish no matter how much he tasted it. Seeing such a huge school of fish swimming under his nose, Shen Chen's eyes widened!
etc……
Why are there so many black stonefish swimming around a huge stalagmite?
Suddenly, Shen Chen seemed to have thought of something...
"Could that stalagmite contain... the legendary Black Crystal of Earth Veins?!" Shen Chen's eyes were rapidly dilating, and a feverish excitement that he had never experienced before slowly emerged in his heart.
Leyline Black Crystal!
It is also called the Vein of the Earth. According to legend, after Emperor Tianlong ascended to the sky thousands of years ago, the essence of the earth retreated into the ground and was probably sucked away by some kind of heaven and earth spiritual being. And that kind of heaven and earth spiritual being , it is the black crystal of earth veins that is almost a treasure in Tianlong Continent!
However, the black stone fish can swallow the scraps of the skin of the Leyline Black Crystal, but the Leyline Black Crystal is not for eating. In fact, if anyone really eats such a rare thing, they will be struck by lightning. , even if those influential people heard it, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood!
As a treasure whose value can no longer be measured in terms of money or material, the most magical use of the black crystal of the earth veins is to use it to refine weapons and refine powerful spiritual treasures that make countless monks jealous!
"Nah... Could it be that there really is earth vein black crystal inside? No... I'm going to suffocate..." Shen Chen slapped his chest and had some difficulty breathing. In his two lifetimes, he had never seen any kind of big storm.
But this time, Shen Chen really couldn't calm down anymore!
When he was at home, he heard people say in his spare time that in Tianlong Continent, most monks' pursuit of weapons mainly focused on materials. For example, the red gold sword in his hand at the moment was It is made of volcanic red gold, and the material is extremely good. In the outside world, it would probably cost at least tens of thousands of body tempering pills to buy it.
However, the pure pursuit of materials is only suitable for ordinary small sects and low-level monks from small forces. For some important figures and powerful monks in medium and above forces, simple materials can no longer satisfy them. What they are most concerned about is whether the weapons are psychic!
Once a weapon is channeled, there is no doubt that the weapon is no longer an ordinary weapon, but a priceless... spiritual weapon!
Throughout the ages, spiritual weapons have always been a symbol of the strength, identity, and status of powerful monks. Shen Chen still vaguely remembered that in the Shen family, his father Shen Yifeng and several clan elders all had spiritual weapons in their hands. When Shen Chen was at home, , has always been regarded as a darling by several elders, and he has never been allowed to have contact with the younger generations in the family...
However, if spiritual weapons have made countless monks jealous and crazy, then the top of the spiritual weapons, a weapon called "Spiritual Treasure", is truly the treasure that monks all over the world dream of.
There is no doubt that if it can be called a spiritual treasure, then it must be refined with spiritual objects. The spiritual objects that can be used to refine spiritual treasures are usually divided into the legendary "third-rate and nine-level". Each level has a different value. There is a huge difference of thousands of miles, but the "black crystal of earth veins" that may be contained in the huge stalagmite in front of Shen Chen is so famous that almost everyone in the world knows it... This is the pinnacle existence among spiritual objects, with "first-rate, first-class" "Etc." is the supreme level, among all the spiritual treasures refined with earth vein black crystals, which one is not a legendary existence with great reputation?
Shen Chen knows very well that looking at the world, there are only a handful of first-class spiritual beings that the world can name. The best among them, such as the Black Crystal of Earth Vein, has lost countless princes and generals, and has spent countless efforts. All the trouble is just to find such a small piece!
Standing here this time, even though it is still unclear whether the stalagmites really contain leyline black crystals, Shen Chen is already unable to walk. Even if the stalagmites only contain some leyline black crystal fragments and the outer skin, it is still difficult to walk. It was a rare treasure that could shock everyone everywhere. Shen Chen could only ask why he was not a water snake. In this case, he could sneak through the small hole in front of him.
"No, if you stand in front of a treasure and turn around and leave, you won't regret it in the future. No matter what, it's better to give it a try!" Under the temptation of the black crystal of the earth's veins, Shen Chen's eyes became a little fierce, and he entered the underground darkness. The river is still alive. This kind of opportunity is difficult to come by again. It can even be said to be unique. Once missed, Shen Chen will regret it for the rest of his life.
While there was a ruthless look in his eyes, Shen Chen also started to act ruthlessly with his hands.
He was no longer bothered to care about the various inconveniences in moving under the water. He directly pulled out the red gold sword in his hand and began to frantically dig at the small hole. It looked like he was trying to carve out a passage...
