In the narrow cave passage, Shen Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glanced at the cave entrance in front of him in horror. His spine was running cold and he was filled with fear. He was already far away from the entrance of the cave and did not dare to come any closer!
That strange fish king is too terrifying, with infinite strength and extremely fast swimming speed. No blood-melting monk can compete with it. It is wandering near the entrance of the cave, its huge body reflects a large black shadow, and its two big eyes exude The fierce light, like a lantern, penetrates people indescribably.
If it weren't for the narrow rock path, which is only enough for an adult man to get in and out, Shen Chen would be really in danger at this moment. There is no doubt that it would be easy for the strange fish king to kill him in the water!
"Damn, you scared me to death!" Shen Chen slapped his chest with a look of fear on his face. If he hadn't escaped quickly just now, this little life he had just saved would have been buried in the belly of the fish again!
After calming down, Shen Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange. Logically speaking, black stone fish are almost the size of a palm. He had caught so many in the past few days, and the largest one he caught during this period was only a little over half a foot.
But at this moment, the black stone fish king outside the cave has grown to more than ten feet in length. It is fat and fat. A rough estimate is that it weighs several thousand at least.
It is very strange for such a huge creature to appear in such a dark underground river. How could it be hiding inside that huge stalagmite in the water?
"Could it be..." Soon, Shen Chen suddenly thought of a possibility, which made his heart beat faster and he was extremely excited.
A normal black stone fish can be about half a foot long at most, but that king fish has grown to that extent. This is obviously unreasonable, unless... it ate some kind of spiritual creature from heaven and earth!
And in this dark and boundless underground river, there seems to be only one kind of spiritual creature from heaven and earth that can exert such power.
"Could it be that there are really leyline black crystals inside the huge stalagmite hollow?" Shen Chen trembled with excitement. Although the debris left behind during the transformation of leyline black crystals was found around the stalagmite before, that does not mean that nearby There must be Leyline Sombra.
Shen Chen once saw an ancient text in an ancient book at home, which said, "All spiritual beings in the world have spirits, and they will independently search for the evolution of spiritual roots between heaven and earth." This text clearly mentioned the heaven and earth. Spiritual beings are not conceived somewhere and then evolve there throughout their lives. Instead, with the help of some kind of magical power, they will spontaneously find a "spring" with abundant spiritual energy, which is the so-called spiritual root.
Since the earth vein black crystal has the first-class and highest grade among the spiritual objects in the world, there is no doubt that it must also have the power to spontaneously search for spiritual roots. Shen Chen has heard people say before that it can usually be found The hiding place of spiritual objects is most likely an abandoned "Ning Ruins", which is a place where the spiritual roots are said to have been exhausted. Although some residual treasures can still be found, it is no longer possible to find real treasures.
Therefore, just before, Shen Chen did not dare to be 100% sure whether there were real black crystals nearby. At most, he could only be certain that there must be black crystals pierced by the black crystals in the stalagmites.
But things are different now. The fish king is so huge, it is obviously far beyond the limit of normal black stone fish. If that big guy has not swallowed some kind of strange object, no one will believe it.
At this thought, Shen Chen couldn't help but feel a little itchy. Logically speaking, it would be better for him to run away at this moment. That big guy who could wield hundreds of thousands of kilograms of power with just one move was definitely not something he could defeat. It wasn't enough to rush up to him. That fish king has his teeth stuck between his teeth.
But when he thought that the stalagmites might contain the supreme spiritual material earth vein black crystal, Shen Chen was a little unable to walk. Knowing that rushing out would cost his life, he was still a little ready to make a move and was unwilling to let go easily!
"It's troublesome..." Shen Chen was confused. Because he was born as a gangster, he has never been a generous person. He was not on the same path as his senior brother Qi Zheng. He missed this opportunity. Looking back in the future, , Shen Chen was afraid that he would hit the wall.
On the other side, after lingering at the entrance of the cave for several weeks, the fish king saw that nothing could be done to him and had already retreated.
But what made Shen Chen's heart skip a beat was that the fish king didn't seem to return to the stalagmites, but swam towards the top of the natural stone chamber. Shen Chen just remembered clearly that the top of the natural stone chamber directly above the stalagmites , there seems to be a huge round mouth, which is deep and dark inside, and it is impossible to see where it leads.
"Could it be that that big guy went out to look for food? Could it be that... there is a cave in that round mouth, leading to somewhere..." Shen Chen was gearing up, feeling excited. No matter which of these two guesses is true, It was enough to make him jump with excitement.
In this way, in the narrow and dark cave passage, Shen Chen waited quietly. Although he was eager to enter the inside of the stalagmite to find out, he still did not dare to act rashly. Even though more than half an hour had passed, it was still quiet outside. .
"Could it be that he really wandered away?" Shen Chen muttered with some uncertainty. He did have a bold idea, but he didn't want to take too many risks.
The entrance of this cave passage was about thirty feet away from the huge stalagmite in the water. Then Shen Chen made a rough visual inspection and found that the huge stalagmite was about ten feet high. In other words, he must be able to ensure that Before the fish king came back, he swam nearly a hundred feet in one breath.
In this process, there must be no more accidents, otherwise the fish king comes to kill, and Shen Chen doesn't know if he will be as lucky as before and escape.
"At my current swimming speed of one hundred feet, it will take almost twenty breaths, plus the time spent searching for black crystals in the stalagmites, the whole process can be completed in about half a quarter of an hour... Damn it, I just said Why are you standing there in a daze? If you had gone out earlier, we would have fought back and forth several times by now!"
Calculating in his mind, Shen Chen became more and more entangled. The period of time that just passed quietly was indeed enough for him to go back and forth safely several times, but he was not a fortune teller after all. How could he predict such things in advance? There is no use regretting at this moment. There are only two choices in front of you, either take the risk and go out immediately, maybe there is still enough time, or wait and see and wait for the best time!
But no matter which choice he chooses, Shen Chen is entangled in every possible way. Who can guarantee that the former will not hit the fish king's gun when he goes out? The latter... is even more tragic. God knows when is the best time, always waiting. I can’t wait to find out why!
"Nima, I'm afraid of a hammer, so I'll fight!"
In the end, Shen Chen gritted his teeth, and like a deep cement loach in the cave passage, he gritted his teeth and got out with a "chish" sound.
It's not that Shen Chen is impatient, but this kind of waiting is really stupid. If the Fish King comes back later and stays in the stalagmites for several months, then he will really miss the last chance!
Taking advantage of the fact that the Fish King had not yet returned, Shen Chen decided to grit his teeth and take a risk. He rowed carefully in the water, swimming at almost the maximum speed. In less than ten breaths, he once again approached the natural stone chamber standing in the center. The huge stalagmite.
Then, without any further hesitation, Shen Chen climbed up to the gap at the top of the stalagmite with the buoyancy of the water.
Returning to his old place in the blink of an eye, Shen Chen couldn't help but feel frightened. The ferocious fish king just now pounced out from inside without any warning. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have been stained with blood at the bottom of the water.
The next moment, Shen Chen held his breath, like a landlubber entering the water, and plunged into the stalagmites. Time was running out, God knew when the fierce fish king would come back, he had to seize the time...
………
This stalagmite is really big. It is completely hollow inside and is about as wide as a baton around. When Shen Chen entered it, he didn't feel crowded at all.
As the body slowly sank, as it approached the bottom of the stalagmite, there was a faint light emanating from below.
"This..." Shen Chen's heart almost stopped at this moment. In this dark underground river, there would be no light source at all, but at this moment, there was a faint light below, just like the morning light in the darkness. Say no The mysterious signs and signs that appeared made Shen Chen instantly think of the legendary spiritual beings from heaven and earth.
However, Shen Chen did not dare to slow down because he was nervous. On the contrary, he suddenly accelerated his sinking speed. At this time, he had to move faster to avoid being carried away by the treasure.
Finally, after becoming familiar with it, Shen Chen smoothly sank to the bottom of the middle of the stalagmite. After landing, he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and reached out to pull out the place where the faint light was emitting, trying to remove the silt and sand in the water. Stone, see what's underneath.
Soon, Shen Chen dug deeper and deeper. At the same time, his heart grew colder and colder, and the touch of his fingers became harder and harder, but he still couldn't find any treasure under the sand.
Not long after, Shen Chen's fingers could no longer dig deeper. There was obviously a layer of hard rock under the sand. He seemed to have touched the bottom layer, but the treasure in his imagination was still nowhere to be seen.
"This..." Shen Chen froze in the stalagmite position, a little confused. Where is the earth vein black crystal, why is there nothing?
Immediately, Shen Chen did not believe in evil, so he simply threw down his long sword and dug up the sand with both hands. In the blink of an eye, he threw away a large piece of sand and gravel at the stalagmite level, revealing a layer of rocks that exuded a dazzling light. layer!
If you look closely, there seems to be a shallow layer of crystalline objects attached to the surface of the rock. Although it is only a shallow layer, it is still crystal clear and sparkling. If the substance is condensed by thick ink, the surroundings are even more... There is an indescribable spiritual power overflowing and circulating continuously.
At this moment, even the red gold sword beside Shen Chen was "buzzing" and trembling slightly in the water, as if it was pulled by some kind of force and resonated!
Shen Chen was convinced that the layer of things emitting a faint light must be the legendary Leyline Black Crystal, but it was so thin that it was hard to even snap it off, as if it had been painted with a thin layer of black paint. , it looks like a large piece about a few feet wide, but if they were all gathered together, I'm afraid there wouldn't be as many as a pin.
Such a slightly cool spiritual object, even the Earth Vein Black Crystal, is hard to use. And the most tragic thing is that it is such a thin layer that even Shen Chen with his great magical power cannot remove it unless he takes a large piece of it. Dig out the rock and put it in the furnace to slowly refine it!
At this moment, Shen Chen was very unwilling to accept it. He finally risked his life and came here. In the end, this was the result. Subconsciously, he gently touched the layer of skin that was so thin that it could be ignored. The black crystal of the earth vein suddenly felt a faint jagged jagged touch in his hand, as if he had touched several shallow ravines on the rock wall.
"Damn it! God, you are playing tricks on me again!" Shen Chen woke up suddenly and was about to cry without tears. He finally knew where the black crystals on the rock formations had gone. Those wonders of heaven and earth did not exhaust the resources here. The spiritual root left on its own, but... was eaten away by that damn Black Stone Fish King.
That Fish King was so wicked. He gnawed away all the black crystals here. It can be said that not even the dregs were left. Those gullies on the rock formations were obviously left by the Fish King's sharp teeth. Look at that. The momentum is to not let go of even this insignificant layer!
In his past life, Shen Chen had never hated a foreign object so much. His teeth were itching with hatred, and he had the urge to vomit blood. He finally encountered such a great opportunity, but in the end... he missed the supreme one among the spiritual creatures in the world. Who would it be? I can't stand it!
"Hua Hua Hua..."
Just as Shen Chen was beating his chest and feeling indignant, suddenly, there was a violent splashing sound above his head.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Chen felt a chill coming over his head quickly. In an instant, his face turned pale, and the anger on his face suddenly solidified, replaced by a face that was uglier than crying...
