Chapter 439: Hydra
The mythical beast is a strange creature that only appears in this white fox ruins.
To be precise, they are not actually living creatures, but a kind of phantom illusion.
Although this place is the core territory of the ancient white fox clan, it is also an ancient battlefield because of the earth-shaking war that took place here.
In ancient times, a large number of powerful people died here, and it is said that even true spirit-level beings fell among them.
Such a terrible battlefield naturally has many extraordinary features.
For some reason, several years after the death of those powerful men who participated in the ancient war, some of their shadows appeared in this place.
No one knows how these phantoms appear. The strange thing is that although they are phantoms, when they attack, they can actually cause harm to people.
At the same time, outsiders can also kill these phantoms.
Some people speculate that the reason why such strange phenomena appeared in the White Fox Ruins was because of the influence of the fragments of a broken Xuantian treasure in ancient times.
Its remaining laws condensed the illusions of those powerful men who had passed away and embodied some of their combat power.
Therefore, the current phenomenon has emerged.
Fighting against this kind of fantasy beast is equivalent to fighting against some of the remaining laws here.
Generally speaking, since no materials can be obtained from killing the phantom beast, no one would be willing to fight against the phantoms of these ancient powerful men.
But on the contrary, when they saw this phantom beast, Ye Changsheng and the other three showed surprise on their faces.
Because, according to the experience summed up by people who have entered this place before, where such fantasy beasts appear, there are often some extremely powerful spiritual things.
Most of these spiritual objects are related to the lives of these powerful men. It seems that it is because of these things that phantom beasts appear near them.
In other words, as long as you see this phantom beast, it means there is a treasure here.
How could Ye Changsheng and the others not be surprised?
Although the aura of the Hydra in front of them was in the fusion stage, the four were not afraid, because it was very good for this phantom to have about 10% of its strength when it was alive.
“Take action!”
The four of them looked at each other, and immediately the magic weapons in their hands flew out and attacked the nine-headed snake.
"boom!"
A huge wave emanated from this place, and the light of various magical weapons flowed, dancing rapidly in the sky, accompanied by waves of earth-shaking roars.
The purple mirror in Ye Changsheng's hand shone a ray of light onto one of the nine heads of the giant snake, and instantly that head became unable to move.
Immediately afterwards, Tianmo Spear slashed down, directly cutting off the giant snake's head.
The head disappeared in the air like a dream bubble, leaving no trace.
On the other side, Yuan Lie drove hundreds of silver needles towards one of the giant snake's heads. These silver needles burst out with brilliant light and turned into silver light balls the size of wheels.
These silver lights gathered together to form a hurricane, which swept the giant snake's head that was spewing black poisonous water into it, and silver needles shot up densely.
Not long after, the giant snake's head was shot into a sieve, and it fell to the ground with a bang and disappeared.
Yan Xin of the Yungang tribe held a huge stone stick in his hand and rushed forward fiercely to wrestle with the giant snake, hitting it wildly with the stone stick.
Not long after, the giant snake's head, which could turn a person into stone, was smashed to pieces.
Hou Ming from the Tall-bodied Clan kept making hand gestures with his six arms, and a turbulent stream of water emerged from around his body, wrapping around the giant snake's head that was spewing flames. Before long, the head dissolved in it.
The four of them each used their own methods to eliminate the giant snake's heads one by one while blocking the attacks of other heads.
Not long after, this extremely ferocious giant snake fell to the ground under their siege and disappeared with a loud bang.
Seeing this, Ye Changsheng and the other three looked at each other and immediately jumped into the lake.
Since this mythical beast emerged from the lake, it means that there must be something related to it in the lake.
For beings of this level, the things left behind must be rare treasures for them.
After searching at the bottom of the lake for a while, Ye Changsheng and his three companions flew out of the lake one after another, each holding two or three strange plants in their hands.
The plant was blood red all over, and had nine flowers of different colors. Each flower looked like a snake head. The nine snake heads represented nine different attributes.
An extremely strong spiritual energy emanates from it, and one can tell at a glance that this peculiar-looking plant must be extraordinary and have extremely strong medicinal properties.
"Fellow Taoists, does anyone know the name of this elixir? It looks like this elixir was grown from the blood of the nine-headed snake that died here!" Yuan Lie took a few glances at the peculiar-looking elixir in his hand, then looked at Ye Changsheng and the others and asked.
Upon hearing this, Yan Xin of the Yungang tribe and Hou Ming of the Changshen tribe both shook their heads. They had no idea what this elixir was.
"It seems that you all don't know, but no matter what this thing is, just looking at its huge spiritual power, we know that this is definitely not an ordinary herb. We can just find out some information after we go out!" Ye Changsheng said with a flash in his eyes.
"Brother Ye is right. Each of us has harvested two or three plants, so the distribution is reasonable. We should not stay here for long. Let's leave quickly!" Yuan Lie said.
Ye Changsheng and the other two all nodded. After collecting the herb that looked like a nine-headed snake, they immediately left.
…
Half a month later, on a piece of sand, a strange-looking insect fell to the ground under siege by several magic weapons. When its body disappeared, Ye Changsheng and others moved forward and looked at a big dark hole on the ground.
This underground cave is where the bug just came out. It can give birth to a mythical beast, so there must be something precious underneath.
Looking at the dark cave entrance, everyone's eyes flickered for a moment, and they were all a little hesitant.
It is impossible to let go of this cave, they must go down and explore what is inside.
However, if everyone rushed down at once, if something unexpected happened, it would be too late to prepare.
The best way is to let one or two people stay up there to guard it, and the rest of you go down and take a look.
However, I’m afraid none of the four people here are willing to stay there and wait.
What if the people below team up and hide the things they find?
After hesitating for a while, Yuan Lie slowly said: "Let's set up a formation at the entrance of this cave to hide it so that it won't be discovered!"
"How about the four of us go down and take a look?" he asked the other three.
"Okay!" The two people from the Yungang tribe and the Changshen tribe nodded in agreement.
Ye Changsheng stared in all directions for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "That's fine too!"
"Well, let's hurry up!"
After Yuan Lie finished speaking, he immediately took out some formation flags and formation plates and started working on the sand.
Ye Changsheng walked towards the surroundings of the cave, as if he was exploring the terrain on all sides.
From an angle that no one could see, huge golden beetles crawled out of his body, burrowed into the ground, and soon disappeared.
Ye Changsheng looked around casually, while paying attention to the actions of the other people out of the corner of his eye.
Yuan Lie was busy with the formation, while Yan Xin and Hou Ming were frowning and walking around as if observing something.
Seeing this scene, a sneer flashed in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoists, it's done. After we go in, I will activate this formation. It should be able to cover the cave entrance for a while!"
"As long as no one comes over to check carefully, it shouldn't be discovered!" Yuan Lie said.
Hou Ming frowned upon hearing this and asked, "So, this formation is still likely to be discovered by someone?"
"So if someone discovers this and lies in ambush here, and we come up and don't find them, it will be life-threatening!"
Yuan Lie's expression did not change much after hearing this. He said calmly: "Brother Hou, in a place like this, no matter how advanced the formation is, it can't play much effect. It's not easy to achieve this step!"
"Haha, this place is so desolate. We have never met anyone along the way. How could an accident happen so easily!" Yanxin laughed and said loudly.
Ye Changsheng nodded and said, "There shouldn't be any problem. Even if someone really wants to be the mantis, it depends on whether we are the cicada!"
Yuan Lie raised his eyebrows and said, "Before we came here, we discussed where to reunite if we get separated. If there really is an enemy that we cannot resist, we can just flee separately!"
After hearing this, the tall man's brows relaxed a little, and he nodded and said, "My fellow Taoists, what you said is very true. If that's the case, let's go down quickly!"
The four of them then entered the dark cave. After they entered, there was a flash of light at the entrance of the cave, and then the cave disappeared immediately.
From a distance, the place seemed to be just a piece of sand, with nothing unusual.
This underground cave is very dry, and there seems to be no trace of moisture in the air.
The cave was very deep, extending to somewhere unknown deep underground. It was only after walking for more than ten miles that Ye Changsheng and others felt a hint of dampness.
There was a sound of splashing water coming from the front. After walking forward for a distance, a stalactite cave suddenly appeared in front of me.
The cave is very high, hundreds of feet high, and nearly a thousand feet wide in all directions. Natural stalactite columns stand on the ground, supporting the cave.
"Such a rich spiritual energy!" The tall man couldn't help but frowned.
Ye Changsheng and the others also showed a flash of surprise in their eyes when they heard this. The spiritual energy in this place seemed to be a little too strong.
Even the water droplets in the air seemed to be condensed entirely from spiritual energy, making one smell the fragrance in their lungs as soon as they took a breath.
After entering this natural stalactite cave, everyone looked at each other and walked towards the place where the sound of water came from.
After walking for several hundred feet, we arrived at the source of the water sound. It was a tiny waterfall. The waterfall flowed out from a huge crack in the stone wall, fell hundreds of feet, and crashed into a large pool on the ground.
This pool seemed to be connected to an underground river. After the water flowed into it, the amount of water in the pool did not increase at all.
"Wait, this is..."
After Ye Changsheng and the other three took a close look at the waterfall and the pool, they were immediately filled with surprise.
What kind of pool is this?
The spiritual energy flowing down from the stone wall was clearly extremely rich and had condensed into liquid form.
"What is this? The Spring of the Spirit Eye? The River of the Spirit Eye? Or the Lake of the Spirit Eye?" Yuan Lie was stunned for a moment, and finally said with a wry smile.
They had never seen such a grand gesture before.
Being able to condense spiritual energy to this extent and even gather it into an underground river is something that has never been heard of before.
I wonder how many top-grade spiritual veins must be gathered here to create such a scene.
You know, even in a spiritual object like the Spirit Eye Spring, the flowing water is just water that is imbued with spiritual energy.
Unlike the water flow here, it is completely formed by the gathering of liquid spiritual energy.
"Is the luxury of ancient tribes really beyond our imagination?" Hou Ming said with a dry mouth.
Several people stood in front of the small pool of liquid spiritual energy for a while, not quite sure what to do.
This liquid spiritual energy can only produce amazing effects when it gathers to a certain amount.
They couldn't move it all away, only a small part, but taking that small part away would be meaningless.
"What is that?" Suddenly, Yanxin pointed to a layer of white stuff lying quietly in a corner at the bottom of the pool and said.
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. After a moment, Yuan Lie stepped forward and fished it out from the bottom of the pool.
This is an insect exuvia, as white as jade, emitting a faint luster and also having an astonishing aura of oppression.
"This is the exuvia left behind by the singing sandworm before it died . Judging from this aura... this insect might have already reached the middle stage of fusion!" Yuan Lie said with some surprise.
When everyone heard this, joy appeared in their eyes.
The exuvia of the singing sandworm is an extremely strong substance and is an excellent material for refining defensive magic weapons.
The treasure refined using this insect exuvia as the main material might be able to be listed on the Chaos Spirits List!
"Haha, this is actually a complete insect exuvia. Even though there are four of us, each of us can get a lot!" The tall-bodied man said with a big laugh.
"I'll find its weak point and break it right away!" Yuan Lie said with a smile on his face.
He quickly cut the insect exuvia apart at its weak point, dividing it into four parts of similar size, and each person got one of them.
"What should we do with this pool of spiritual liquid?" The tall-bodied man suddenly asked after collecting the insect molts.
"Hehe!" Yanxin suddenly laughed dryly and took out a stone bowl in his hand.
"If there is a space magic treasure that can carry a large amount of it, it will greatly improve our cultivation environment in the future!"
He said with a smile, and at the same time stretched out his hand to cast a spell. A ray of light came out from the stone bowl and siphoned towards the pool of spiritual liquid.
