Chapter 163 Spirit Stone Mine!
Chapter 163 Spirit Stone Mine!
With Gu Fan and Jing Jiming in front, mercenary captain Huang Hongtao and five mercenaries behind, this eight-person team walked through shrubs and grass, heading towards the mountain.
Soon, a cave more than two meters high appeared in front of Gu Fan and his party.
This cave is hidden behind a towering tree, surrounded by shrubs and grass. If it weren't for Gu Fan leading the way, ordinary people would never notice it.
"right here."
Gu Fan pointed to the cave ahead and said.
"Let me do it!"
"Thunder Sword!"
Jing Jiming drew his sword, the knight's sword flashed with lightning, and slashed at the towering tree in front of him.
Click!
This old tree, which had lived for hundreds of years, was cut off abruptly. With a roar, it fell to the side, causing the nearby birds to fly away.
"Okay, you can go."
After putting away his sword, Jing Jiming said.
"Yeah." Gu Fan nodded and walked in.
The cave is very dark, and the light is surprisingly poor. If you don't light a fire, you can't see anything. This also makes the mercenaries in the team uneasy.
"Hey, kid! Is there really a spirit stone in front of you? Isn't this the lair of a vicious beast?"
one of the mercenaries shouted.
"Dazhuang, shut up!"
Unlike the restless mercenaries, the mercenary captain Huang Hongtao was shocked.
From the moment he stepped into the cave, Huang Hongtao really felt the fluctuation of spiritual power, which meant that Gu Fan was right, there really were spiritual stones in this mountain!
The reason why Huang Hongtao couldn't feel it outside was entirely because the distance was too far. Even standing at the entrance of the cave, Huang Hongtao could only feel weak fluctuations in spiritual power.
Even Huang Hongtao, who is the strongest person in the team, cannot sense it. Gu Fan, the weakest person in the team, can actually sense it. It is simply incredible!
"Captain, but..."
When the captain told him to shut up, the mercenary named Da Zhuang was a little dumbfounded. The captain clearly had the biggest objection to Gu Fan, so why did he tell him to shut up at this time?
"Shut up if I tell you to!"
Huang Hongtao scolded sharply.
Before the spirit stone was found, he could not fall out with Gu Fan.
This cave is so complicated that without Gu Fan to lead the way, it would take them no telling how long it would take them to find it.
Zhi~zhi~
Jing Jiming put away his knight's shield, and yellow lightning erupted from his left hand, illuminating the dark cave with lightning.
"Old Li, light the fire!"
Huang Hongtao issued the order.
"Okay, Captain!"
The mercenary known as Lao Li stretched out his hand, and a ball of flame ignited from the palm of his hand, and then floated to the sky above the cave, illuminating the cave even brighter like a light bulb.
With the light of the fire, most of the uneasiness in the mercenaries' hearts dissipated, and they almost forgot that there were eight people in their team.
There are five third-level high-level superpowers alone, and the captain is still a fourth-level low-level superpower. Even if this is a ferocious beast's lair, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Tap, step, step..."
The cave was very quiet, no ferocious beasts were encountered along the way, and the footsteps of everyone could be heard clearly.
The cave is very complicated, like a maze. Although I didn't encounter any vicious beasts, it took a lot of time to walk on the road.
"It's so strange that after walking for so long, I didn't even see a single ferocious beast!"
A mercenary said doubtfully.
Click!
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
"Sorry, I think I broke something." Da Zhuang said with a silly smile.
"It's bones!" Jing Jiming exclaimed.
"These are not human bones, these are the bones of ferocious beasts. But why are there bones of ferocious beasts here?"
Huang Hongtao looked at the bones and wondered.
"As long as it's not human!"
Jing Jiming suddenly felt relieved.
"Let's keep walking."
Gu Fan said calmly.
After that, he continued walking forward, he didn't want to waste too much time here.
As for why there are bones of ferocious beasts here, Gu Fan can roughly guess the reason.
Spirit stones contain a lot of spiritual power, and spiritual power is not only very attractive to humans, but also to ferocious beasts.
Just like humans cultivate through the spiritual power in spiritual stones, ferocious beasts can also absorb the spiritual power in spiritual stones to improve their strength.
Since there are a large number of spirit stones here, a large number of ferocious beasts will naturally be attracted to this place, and they will fight to determine the only and strongest ferocious beast.
The bones of these ferocious beasts are the skeletons of ferocious beasts that failed in the fight, and the only and strongest ferocious beast must be around the spirit stone. In other words, this is the lair of the ferocious beast.
"Tap, step, step..."
Gu Fan and his group continued to walk forward.
Gu Fan and Jing Jiming relied on the electric light in Jing Jiming's hand to explore the way forward. The mercenary captain Huang Hongtao and five mercenaries followed closely behind with the help of Lao Li's firelight.
Gradually, there were no forks in the road ahead, and there was only one narrow passage. In the passage, more and more bones of vicious beasts were visible to the naked eye.
"Gu Fan, aren't you afraid?"
Seeing Gu Fan, the weakest and least powerful person in the team, walking at the front without fear, Jing Jiming asked in confusion.
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Gu Fan said with great disdain.
Just kidding, Ou Lianqun and Yang Baozhong, two fourth-level intermediate superpowers who were constantly breaking through their limits, were killed by him. He really didn't take ordinary ferocious beasts seriously.
Even if you are facing a fourth-level superior beast, whether you can beat it or not, you can still escape.
"..."
Jing Jiming was speechless.
"Captain, do we really want to continue? Something is obviously wrong here!"
Da Zhuang asked worriedly.
"Look at your worthless appearance. You are also a third-level advanced superpower after all. Why are you so cowardly?"
"This is not the core of the mountain forest. Basically, there are no fourth-level ferocious beasts. Considering the combat effectiveness of our team, it is more than enough!"
Huang Hongtao reprimanded sharply again.
Da Zhuang's reaction really made Huang Hongtao very angry. There really is no harm without comparison.
Gu Fan, a third-level low-level superpower user, walked at the front without fear, but his subordinates, a third-level high-level superpower user, hid at the back timidly!
Soon, after walking for more than fifty meters, the originally narrow passage suddenly became clear.
This is a wide underground cave. Unlike the dark passage, this place is very bright.
The cave is full of fluorescent moss and fluorescent mushrooms, but it is difficult to completely illuminate the underground cave with fluorescence alone.
There is something brighter than fluorescent moss and fluorescent mushrooms here. Spiritual stones are spiritual stones. There are spiritual stones everywhere on the edge of the cave wall.
The mercenary captain Huang Hongtao and the five mercenaries all froze on the spot, staring greedily ahead. With so many spirit stones, even a rough estimate would definitely exceed 50,000!
