Chapter 180
180 Chapter 180, the strange ‘Blue Crystal’
“Rumble”
Under the Little Azure Dragon’s hard work, half an hour later, there was a loud sound, and a large amount of rocks surged up from the edge of the pit. The huge goblin underground was finally pulled out by the little azure dragon, revealing its overall shape.
It was a huge oval-shaped object, with a diameter of 1,000 meters. Its color was white with a hint of yellow, and its surface was covered with oval-shaped protrusions. These protruding points were the same thing that Yang Tian had stepped on when he was in the underground cave.
On the surface of this giant, there were many white tendrils that were wriggling non-stop. They were thick and thin, just like the Gnome’s hair.
It was these tendrils that had rushed out of the ground and turned into the shape of insects, attacking Yang Tian who was passing by. This method was similar to the man-eating flowers on Earth.
Around the Goblin’s body, there were eighteen thick white tendrils. These tendrils were the tendrils that had coiled around the little green dragon. After being bitten by the Little Green Dragon a few times, they shrank back.
Under the goblin’s abdomen, there were dense, tangled thick white roots.
The little azure dragon’s two thick hind claws were deeply embedded in the giant Goblin’s surface. After it pulled the goblin out of the ground, these roots were still connected to the ground.
At this moment, these thick roots were being flattened into a straight line.
The goblin clearly did not want to be eaten by the little azure dragon. As it made its final struggle, the eighteen thick white tendrils around its body suddenly grew longer, once again wrapping around the little azure dragon.
These tendrils were like snakes, circling around the little green dragon tightly, wrapping it tighter and tighter.
The Little Green Dragon’s neck was wrapped by these tendrils, and it was very difficult for it to even turn its head. Naturally, it couldn’t take another bite of these white tendrils like before.
Seeing this situation, Yang Tian knew that it was time for him to make his move.
The large amount of dragon pearl power in Yang Tian’s hands retreated. It was no longer a pair of dragon claws. He put down his backpack and jumped on a raised rock. His body shot out, and his saber was immediately unsheathed.
“Pu Pu”
Yang Tian’s body passed through the dense roots of the gnomes. He used two sabers and cut off a white root that was two meters in diameter.
This was the thickest root among the gnomes. After cutting off this root, the white tendrils that wrapped around the little azure dragon loosened a lot. The Little Azure Dragon shook its body and the tendrils that wrapped around its body were pushed away.
The little green dragon exerted more strength!
“Cluck Cluck Cluck Cluck Cluck… Bang!”
A dense cracking sound was heard, followed by a loud bang.
The Gnome was stuck in the ground, and the dense tendrils were all pulled off by the Little Green Dragon. The Little Green Dragon’s powerful strength shocked even Yang Tian.
Yang Tian had not seen it before!
The Little Green Dragon finally dragged the huge gnome to the ground.
Having lost contact with the ground, the Goblin’s tendrils became soft and motionless, turning it into a dead thing. At the same time, the Goblin’s huge body began to shrink like a deflated rubber ball, instantly doubling in size.
Following that, the little azure dragon couldn’t wait to turn around and open its mouth to bite the Goblin. It tore off a large piece and began to devour it. It didn’t mind that there was still a large amount of mud and sand on it.
As for Yang Tian, he followed the hole and arrived at the hole that was hundreds of meters deep.
Many of the Gnome’s roots were still in the hole. After these roots lost contact with the main body, they were all dispirited. There were even wrinkles on the surface, and they had lost their vitality.
However, the thickest root in the middle of the hole was still alive.
Not only was this root alive, it was still moving. Yang Tian curiously walked around this root.
Is there… anything else down there?
Yang Tian looked at the root and pinched his chin as he thought.
“PFFT… PFFT… PFFT…”
The sound of the little azure dragon’s biting could be heard from outside the pit. It was estimated that the little azure dragon would not be able to finish eating such a big thing in a short amount of time. Hence, he decided to dig out this root to take a look.
In Yang Tian’s mind, there would always be something special beneath ordinary heavenly and earthly treasures. This was also in line with the law. To be called a heavenly material and earthly treasure, they were all good things. They were very rare. They were created because of a special environment.
To the little azure dragon, this gnome was a heavenly material and earthly treasure. To be able to make the GNOME Grow So Big, it must have needed sufficient nutrients.
And the soil here was not fertile, and there would not be many beasts passing by. So… What made this GNOME Grow So Big?
There was no need to guess the reason..
Yang Tian sheathed the knife in his hand and held the root with both hands, pulling it out forcefully.
The soil here was much wetter than the surface, and the surface of the two-meter-thick root was extremely smooth. Yang Tian pulled it out with force and gradually pulled it out.
In fact, after the root left the body, it would also die very quickly. It was only because the root was connected to something below and still had a certain amount of vitality. It was just making a final struggle.
“Bo ~”
All of a sudden, it was as if the stopper was pulled out of a bottle. With a light sound, the entire root was pulled out by Yang Tian.
This root was different from what Yang Tian had expected. Although it was more than twenty meters long, the end of the root was not sharp. Instead, it was oval-shaped and was covered with things that looked like suckers.
This was almost the same as what Yang Tian had guessed. There must be something below!
After putting down the root, Yang Tian picked up the flashlight and shone it into the hole where the root was pulled out.
Suddenly, a blue light flashed in the hole that was about two meters in diameter.
This blue light was obviously the reflection of the flashlight.
There must be something blue down there. Yang Tian immediately bit the flashlight in his mouth and used his hands and feet to support himself down the wall of the hole. Soon, he reached the bottom of the cave, which was more than twenty meters deep.
Yang Tian shone the flashlight under his feet and found that there were blue crystal-like objects under his feet, just like blue crystals.
This thing was very big. Yang Tian pulled out the dagger at his waist and cleaned up the red sand on the surface of this blue crystal.
Yang Tian originally thought that this blue crystal was not big, but when he dug open the red sand, he found that this blue crystal was very big. The hole was only a part of it.
Crack
Yang Tian used his dagger to chisel the blue crystal.
A small piece of blue crystal was dug out by Yang Tian. It was about the size of a finger.
Only then did Yang Tian know that this thing wasn’t hard, and it was flexible. It wasn’t as brittle as a stone.
Yang Tian picked up this small piece, placed it on his palm, and observed it carefully.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, the small piece of blue crystal emitted a mesmerizing blue light.
While Yang Tian was observing it curiously, something strange happened. The small piece of blue crystal quickly melted and turned into a flowing liquid blue substance.
Yang Tian guessed that this change was due to the temperature on his hand. Once this thing encountered the temperature on his palm, it would melt..
However, Yang Tian quickly denied this judgment.
This was because after the blue liquid melted, it actually began to seep into his palm and turned into a stream of energy. The Dragon Pearl power in his body began to automatically absorb this energy.
This blue crystal was actually a pure energy substance
Yang Tian could not help but recall Yu Yang Nasi telling him that the powerhouses in the universe also needed to absorb energy when they cultivated. Many people absorbed some natural mineral energy, and some races.., they evolved by devouring other creatures to replenish energy.
Was this blue crystal also a type of mineral energy?
Yang Tian thought curiously.
Soon, a small piece of blue crystal in Yang Tian’s palm was completely absorbed by Yang Tian’s dragon pearl power. Yang Tian did not use his own thoughts to interfere in this process, but let nature take its course.
