Chapter 140: The Road to Excavating Treasures
Lin Fan was totally fearless due to his immortality. He might not have been able to deal with the Abyssal Worm, but he could not sit on the fact that someone or something was stealing from his hands.
Even if he was swallowed and excreted by the Abyssal Worm, he would first kill these Fierce Hou before they were digested by the Abyssal Worm.
It’s not idiocy but rather dignity.
The Abyssal Worm’s ginormous mouth was like a huge pitch-black pit for humans, but it wasn’t bottomless. The roars of every Fierce Hou were filled with trepidation.
They were now the prey of the Abyssal Worm, and it was impossible to escape.
Suddenly, one of the struggling Fierce Hou broke free off the tentacles binding it. Its hopeless eyes burst with a great desire to survive, but just when it was about to escape the mouth of the devil, it found that human attacking it with a mace.
“You are mine. No one can take you from me!” Lin Fan roared. His affectionate confession moved the world. But the mace in his hand was completely merciless. It crushed this Fierce Hou to death directly.
Points +200
Lin Fan was overjoyed. He had obtained another 200 points. Then, he turned his gaze deeper into the Abyssal Worm’s mouth, where the roars of Fierce Hou were louder. They were all inside the Abyssal Worm’s mouth.
The Abyssal Worm had awakened from the deep abyss after having smelled this delicious scent. And now that it was satiated after having swallowed all these delicacies, it moved its body. The indestructible pitch-black rocks collapsed like mud under its countless feet.
Its huge body disappeared from its place. Only the bloodstains on the ground were the proof that an extremely fierce battle had just happened here.
In the abdomen of the Abyssal Worm, Lin Fan stood steadily on a firm ground. The Abyssal Worm’s internal body was really weird; its interior was as hard as iron, unlike other monsters. Especially the thin and protruding bones on its surface, which were sharp and could rip a body apart.
All the Fierce Hou have been killed already. Where the hell did that alpha Fierce Hou go? Why haven’t I seen it?
However, I have pillaged quite a lot of points. I now have more than 40,000 points!
Sure enough, Body Tempering Realm monsters are really rare in danger zones. All the monsters I have encountered were strong and were in the Earth Star Border Realm. My points grew very fast.
But it’s really, really difficult to encounter monsters like Fierce Hou that live in groups.
God knows what exactly the abdomen of this Abyssal Worm is made of, it feels like walking on a ground. More importantly, it’s emitting a faint light as well.
At this moment, he happened to have stepped on a stone that was emitting faint light. It was embedded in the ground.
He dug the stone out of the ground and discovered that it was covered by a film. He crushed the film into pieces with his fingers, revealing its true form.
“This is a yuan crystal.” Lin Fan was taken aback as if it had never crossed his mind. Yuan crystals were a kind of rare and special material. This yuan crystal contained gentle energy. The First God’s Cannon in the sect used yuan crystals to release that terrifying power that could terrify all experts below the third stage of the Earth Star Border Realm.
Yuan crystals also had a wide range of other applications. Although they didn’t help in increasing one’s cultivation, they were very valuable.
As far as he knew, the Magnificent Flame Sect had a few yuan crystal veins that were being mined, but their productivity was very low.
“I hit it big this time.” Lin Fan’s heart was beating very fast at this moment. He felt that he was really lucky. I’m afraid all the light emitting in the Abyssal Worm is coming from yuan crystals. Although they are scattered, they will be worth a fortune if they are collected.
I will be able to buy many things and do whatever I want with this wealth.
This Abyssal Worm must have entered a yuan crystal vein. Since the Abyssal Worm makes tunnels, I guess it has to swallow the rocks in its path, thus swallowing the yuan crystals into its abdomen along as well.
The rocks were digested, but as the yuan crystals are very hard, they aren’t digested that easily.
There are yuan crystal veins in the Thousand Deep Cave. It seems I will have to report this to Teacher after returning to the sect. Perhaps I will be rewarded.
But I’m afraid it’s not that simple. Even if there are yuan crystals in the Thousand Deep Cave, the sect would not dare to mine them because it’s extremely dangerous here.
Obviously, I met those Sunshine Sect disciples in the Thousand Deep Cave. This is proof in itself that the Thousand Deep Cave is indeed connected to the two sects. However, the Sunshine Sect does not dare to invade the Magnificent Flame Sect through the Thousand Deep Cave. Perhaps they also know the horror of the Thousand Deep Cave.
Lin Fan didn’t want to give it any more thought. He could no longer hold himself before this wealth. It didn’t matter to him where the Abyssal Worm was taking him, he would not stop digging these yuan crystals.
And the Abyssal Worm didn’t feel that there was a human being digging treasure out of its body. Anyway, it was satiated and wanted to fall asleep in the abyss.
After three days…
A flaming horse streaked through the land, leaving a trail of charred hoof prints in its wake.
Divine Magma Horses were in the Earth Star Border Realm. They lived in volcanic areas. After having suffered the scorching heat from lava all around the year, their veins gradually mutated, giving them the power of flames.
Mo Jingzhe didn’t stop for a moment after leaving the Thousand Deep Cave. The Divine Magma Horse traveled thousands of miles a day without showing any fatigue at all.
He could travel such a long distance all because of this Divine Magma Horse. A normal monster would have long been exhausted and foaming at the mouth.
In the distance…
A mountain gate appeared in his line of sight. This was the mountain gate of the Magnificent Flame Sect and was incomparably magnificent. It towered into the clouds and had 999 steps like a ladder.
Ordinary guests would climb up these 999 steps to show respect to the Magnificent Flame Sect. But Mo Jingzhe couldn’t waste so much time at this moment. He jumped off the Divine Magma Horse and rose into air like a great roc spreading its wings. He then landed steadily before the entrance of the mountain gate after a few breaths.
“Who’s there?” The two disciples guarding the mountain gate gazed at Mo Jingzhe with suspicion when they saw him arrive at the entrance without climbing the steps.
Mo Jingzhe turned his gaze at the two disciples. Although they were only in the Body Tempering Realm, he still cupped his fists politely. “I am the young master of Spirit Wind City’s Mo Family, Mo Jingzhe. I need to see Elder Tian Xu, I have a piece of grave news for him!”
“Mo Family of Spirit Wind City!?” The guarding disciple looked at Mo Jingzhe suspiciously as he recalled the identity of Elder Tian Xu. How could a young master of a family want to see him? So, he directly waved his hand. “Who do you think Elder Tian Xu is? Do you think you can see him at your will? Go back.”
Mo Jingzhe held his earth energy and directly resorted to a sound skill. His voice echoed throughout the sky immediately. “Elder Tian Xu, I am the young master of Spirit Wind City’s Mo Family, Mo Jingzhe. My friend, Lin Fan, is your direct disciple. He was plotted against in the Thousand Deep Cave and lost his life, unfortunately. I came here to seek justice for him.”
“What are you doing?” The guarding disciple didn’t expect him to be so presumptuous in the Magnificent Flame Sect. Just as he wanted to step up and stop Mo Jingzhe, he was pushed away by Mo Jingzhe’s palm.
Mo Jingzhe shouted at the top of his voice again.
He roared using the full strength of an Earth Star Border Stage Six. His voice reverberated like thunder.
Many disciples were suspicious when they heard this voice at first. They might not have an idea about who he was, but they sure admired his guts. To their surprise, someone dared to make a racket at the Magnificent Flame Sect.
Only when they heard of Lin Fan’s death were they all shocked.
After all, who didn’t know that Lin Fan was the direct disciple of Elder Tian Xu?
Lin Fan’s death was a really big deal.
