Chapter 284: The Legend of the White Snake -3
But Bai Yuqi didn't know that after the [Arcanon Particles] fused with natural matter, they would also condense into solid "energy crystals".
This is obviously a strange crystallization phenomenon caused by the highly dense Acanon perfusion in the Jungnan Mountain area and the special high-pressure environment of the underground salt lake.
The white python's behavior of devouring the energy crystals naturally condensed in this underground environment is obviously because it is no longer enough to directly absorb the [arcane particles] that are free in space.
Of course, this may also have something to do with the physiological habit of snakes that hide and hibernate for digestion when they are full.
Bai Yuqi estimated that if it weren't for the cave under the White Dragon Pond, the condensed energy crystals were devoured by it, and after he closed the arcane energy coverage, the concentration of [arcane particles] in the Qinling region would not be enough to condense new energy crystals.
Maybe this thing can always go down to the bottom of Bailongtan, instead of being forced to run out helplessly to find a new crystalline mine!
Bai Yuqi picked up a fragment of energy crystallization and studied it.
I was surprised to find that this thing was neither a simple [Arcane Particle] crystal, nor a "Arcane Crystal" condensed in a living organism, but an energy body formed by the fusion of [Arcanon Particles] and "natural elements" in a special environment.
Originally, Bai Yuqi only found this kind of energy crystals rich in [Arcane Particles] in the body of locusts that were infected by [Arcanon Particles] and mutated, so they were roughly collectively called "Arcanon Particles".
But now there have been energy crystals of these three forms and components, including the "phlogiston" crystals on his chest, the "arcane particles + biological energy" crystals in the body of the mutant locust, and the "arcane particles + natural elements" crystals, so they can't be simply called "arcane crystals".
After pondering for a while, Bai Yuqi decided to name them "Burning Crystal, Ao Jing, Spirit Crystal, and Spirit Stone".
Among them, the "Burning Crystal" only found this part of his chest, and the "Arcane Crystal" made of the condensation of [Arcanon Particles] has not been found for the time being, but considering that even phlogiston can be condensed into crystals, it makes no sense that Ao Can.
Compared to Spirit Crystal (Bioenergetic Crystal) and Spirit Stone (Natural Element Crystal).
Psionic crystals can be absorbed by other creatures, such as mutated locusts devouring each other.
Even those who have practiced the [Meditation Technique] can absorb the [Arcanon Particles] in the Arcane Vacuum Environment as a supplement.
Although the spirit stone also contains [Arcane Particles], it cannot be easily absorbed by living beings because the crystal structure is more stable and different from the energy components contained in living beings.
If you have to compare it, one of these two energy crystals is bioenergy, and the other is mineral energy, people can eat meat to supplement various trace elements needed, but if you are short of iron, just gnaw a piece of iron ore to try?
Not everyone is like this mutated white python, the stomach is so strong that even "iron ore" can be digested!
After discovering the existence of the "Spirit Stone", Bai Yuqi's expression was a little strange.
The white python will give up attacking the "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Furnace" with a high concentration of [Arcanon Particles], and instead choose to lurk in the bitter spring to find the reason.
But the problem is, this is a spirit crystal and a spirit stone, and it feels like it is going to open the Datang National Cultivation Mode?
Casually throwing down the spirit stone crystal in his hand, which was the size of a melon, Bai Yuqi waved his hand and launched the [Control Water Flow], intending to reverse the flow of water in the underground water canal to push everyone forward and speed up the speed of travel.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he injected arcane energy into the spell, the scattered spirit stones around him collectively lit up, bursting with a burst of dazzling light, and then ...... When you were a child, did you ever play with the same water nourishing gun as a large syringe? It's the kind that sucks water from the front end and then squirts out when you push the handle biu~?
The water in the entire underground canal poured back into the ground as if a jet force had been exerted, and even because the spring water overflowing to the ground was instantly drained, there was even a roar and cooing sound like a monster roaring in the hollow canal.
And Bai Yuqi, who was in the middle of the water body, was wrapped in the spring water that retracted into the underground salt lake and sprayed in, making a "bang" sound!
Thankfully, the leader of the humanized animals who accompanied him was not only thick-skinned and thick-skinned, but also wore thick overweight armor.
Although in the stepped underground water canal in the shape of "㇎", the dingding and clanging of the collision were muffled, but there was no major problem.
Only Shi Xuanzang, who was dressed in a white robe of the Wuji Gate standard, almost didn't die inside, but fortunately, Bai Yuqi reacted quickly enough to sense that the situation was wrong, and reached out and dragged him to his side with [Mage's Hand], and protected him with [Mage Armor] and [Shield Technique].
Even so, the unlucky Xuanzang was stunned in the air burst caused by the siphon effect after all the spring water in the underground sewer was sprayed back.
Bai Yuqi had a headache while dragging Shi Xuanzang, while shaking his somewhat dizzy brain, and looked at the leaders of the humanized animals like the Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers in the rising tent bubbles and splashes, and made sure that they were fine in the water flow except for the inability to control their bodies, so he relieved his heart.
This may be what the system mentioned, the power of releasing low-level spells in a super-magical environment.
The [Manipulating Currents] he unleashed would simply form a gentle propulsion current, propelling them to speed up.
Who knew that in this high-intensity environment, it was directly increased to the power of almost a waterspout.
In order to prevent everyone from being sucked back into the underground waterway, Bai Yuqi had to temporarily seal the entrance to the underground tunnel with [stone plastic].
After the water in the underground salt lake stabilized, Bai Yuqi had the heart to observe the surrounding environment.
Because the last time he opened an underground water canal, he used [rock avalanche] to break up a large area of ancient underground salt to increase the salt concentration of the spring water.
Due to the enlargement of the contact surface, a large number of broken salt crystals melted rapidly under the impact of groundwater, making the groundwater become concentrated brine with saturated concentration, which greatly increased the output of the bitter spring salt field per unit time, and also made the underground salt lake much empty.
If this continues, as long as Bai Yuqi does the [Rock Avalanche] Crushing Method a few more times, it may not be long before this ancient underground salt layer will be diluted, and the bitter spring will be transformed into ordinary spring water as a result.
But the problem is that a purple pillar of light penetrated from the top of the stratum, which just penetrated the space of the underground salt lake, and the overflowing ultra-high concentration [Arcane particles] accumulated here, and even began to condense in a special high-pressure environment, and clusters of crystal-like energy crystals began to grow on the rock wall and salt layer!
