"Shhhh

The giant one-horned lizard opened its mouth and looked up to the sky with a last miserable roar of pain, its eyes, which were already blood-red and full of intense firelight, suddenly stared at Ying Xuan standing not far away, and its eyes were clearly mixed with extreme resentment and strong unwillingness.

Not long after the extremely strange eyes before his death were revealed, a large area of fiery red lava flowstone quickly erupted from its mouth, swaying a large area of fiery red streamers in the black dark sky, and quickly splashed towards Shadow Xuan.

Ying Xuan suddenly noticed an extremely strong burning sensation splashing towards him, and immediately moved extremely quickly under his feet, and dodged in an instant.

And after dodging, the place where Ying Xuan was originally standing had been eroded by the fiery red molten slurry that was poured down from mid-air, and it was miserable to see.

One can imagine what a terrible and terrifying scene would have occurred if the hot molten liquid had just been poured on a living person.

Looking at the place where he was standing not far in front of him, looking at the ground that had been scorched and eroded by a large circle of thick smoke from the extremely hot molten slurry, Ying Xuan's face couldn't help but be full of astonishment.

After a long time, he looked back at the one-horned monitor lizard, which had already collapsed on the ground, burned into a shallow skeleton by the overflowing lava flow.

Looking at the extremely poor guy in front of him, Ying Xuan felt extremely puzzled for a while, he didn't understand that the knife he had stabbed into the unicorn monitor lizard's back earlier, although it was indeed half deeply pierced, but he clearly felt that his blow did not cause any fatal damage to it?

So...... How did this giant unicorn lizard die?

How did the lava flowstone that suddenly gushed out of its body appear out of thin air?

As Ying Xuan pondered, the last circle of the giant unicorn lizard's skeleton that did not support the outline of the flesh was also eroded into molten slurry with the continuous spewing and overflowing flow of flames in its body, and finally converged into a whole piece.

"That knife... It seems..."

Shadow Xuan's eyes were suddenly drawn to the short blade in the molten flow, which had fallen off the body of the one-horned monitor lizard that had been eroded and melted, and was now half-inserted into the lava flow, and the half-exposed blade shone with an extremely strange brilliance.

For a moment, Ying Xuan's face was full of wanting to get closer, but he was extremely afraid of the churning and scorching lava flow in front of him, after all, although he was really curious, he really didn't dare to risk approaching in the face of the extremely burning and intense burning sensation.

He didn't think his skin would be thicker than the one-horned monitor lizard that had been eroded by the lava flow, not to mention that he didn't have the blessing of Blood Shadow Fire now, and his resistance to flames was not much higher.

Just when Ying Xuan was still hesitating how to step forward and pull the short blade out of the lava flow, he suddenly realized that the lava flow that was still spreading rapidly seemed to be attracted by something at this time, and began to flow back quickly.

"Could it be that the molten flame stream that suddenly gushed out of the one-horned monitor lizard's body could have overflowed from that short blade?"

Because Ying Xuan found that the molten flame flow that began to flow back was actually slowly immersed in the gap of the short blade that was half cut deep into the ground.

As the surrounding flakes of molten flames quickly flowed into the cracks where the short blades entered the soil, the short blades, which had not changed at all but were quietly half-inserted in the soil, began to gradually undergo strong abnormal changes.

The half-exposed blade of the blade and the entire hilt began to glow with a brilliant golden luster, and as the golden luster quickly dissipated, the blade of the short-bladed blade began to be tightly wrapped in a fiery red liquid that spread from the bottom up.

Ying Xuan stood quietly in the distance and carefully observed, the fiery red liquid spreading from the bottom to the top was like magma, tightly wrapping the half-exposed blade, and the blade also became extremely red with the duration of its wrapping, and for a while, the entire blade seemed to be tempered by endless fire.

After a long time, as a gust of cold wind blew from nowhere, the short blade that was originally tightly wrapped in fiery red liquid and burned red inexplicably regained its original brightness, I don't know whether it was the cold wind that suddenly swept away the last residual heat, or because of other reasons, it had begun to quickly drop the original extremely hot temperature.

Shadow Xuan looked at the ground that had long since passed and regained its pitch black in the distance, and couldn't help but walk quickly towards the short blade that was half-stuck in the ground.

Walking up to the short blade, Ying Xuan squatted down slightly, but for a moment he didn't rush to reach out and pull out the short blade that was half stuck in the ground.

After all, he had just witnessed this short blade being tightly covered and wrapped in the extremely hot molten flame flow for a long time, and he was not sure if this short blade, which seemed to be even brighter than before, still had a strong residual heat that had not completely dissipated.

Ying Xuan didn't want to test it with his own hands.

After a long time, the squatting Ying Xuan observed for a long time and didn't find anything unusual, and finally raised his hand uncontrollably and slowly leaned towards the short blade.

It's already very close, but it still doesn't feel the slightest bit unusual.

"I hope it doesn't burn my hands. ”

Ying Xuan muttered inexplicably, and quickly stretched forward the hand that was close to the short blade, and immediately pulled the short blade out of the ground with a single grip.

Standing up, Ying Xuan took the short blade and took a closer look, and found that this knife was not only not half hot at all, but the entire blade was even colder than before.

"Strange..."

If the lava flame flow that suddenly erupted from the one-horned monitor lizard's body before was generated from this short blade that pierced into the monitor lizard's body, then how could this short blade be even colder than before, no matter how hot it was, it would have to carry a little residual heat?

For a moment, staring at the bright silver short blade in his hand, Ying Xuan felt extremely puzzled, and inexplicably began to wonder if the mysterious molten flame flow that melted away the one-horned monitor lizard was released from this short blade.

Or could it be that the molten flame flow was originally there beneath the ground?

Or, is the one-horned monitor lizard already present in its body?

Ying Xuan, who was filled with many doubts and speculations for a while, shook his head slightly helplessly.

Because there are more and more strange mysteries pressing on him, and he has been guessing, but he has no way to reveal anything.

"Forget it, let's go to the Dark Forest as soon as possible and complete the bounty mission. ”

Subconsciously glancing at the eerie environment beside him that had regained its pitch blackness, Ying Xuan did not put the short blade in his hand into the sheath, but held it tightly in his hand.

After all, he didn't know if the next time he encountered sudden danger, there would be an opportunity like this time to pull out the short blade on his waist in time to resist it in time.

"Huh?"

Ying Xuan, who had just raised his feet and walked forward, suddenly felt that he had stepped on the ground, and it seemed that he was carrying something strange and extremely hard.

Originally, Ying Xuan thought it was just an ordinary hard rock, and was about to kick it away at will, but after lifting his foot slightly, he suddenly realized that the thing under his feet did not seem to be an ordinary stone.

The thing was glowing faintly with a faint blue glow.

It may have been buried by the sand just now, so Ying Xuan didn't notice it immediately for a while, but when Ying Xuan squatted down and completely peeled off the sand on it with the short blade in his hand, the strange stone with a light blue weak light was finally revealed in front of Ying Xuan's eyes.

Ying Xuan slowly picked it up from the ground, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, his face, which had been indifferent and calm, finally showed a little surprise, and he couldn't help but murmur softly: "Is this... Is it a psionic nucleus?"

Although he hadn't seen the psionic core crystal, he had heard of what it looked like, after all, the bounty quest card he had just gotten also had some detailed records about it, and before leaving the city, Ying Xuan had also browsed and studied it in advance.

The so-called psionic core crystals are energy crystals condensed in the bodies of fierce beasts, trolls, and resentful spirits, which store nine-tenths of their huge pure energy, supplying the energy needed to support their daily consumption, and can also be vividly compared to an indispensable important organ for their daily life.

The psionic core crystal is not only an important organ for fierce beasts, trolls, and resentful spirits, but also an indispensable major elixir for human spiritual cultivators who want to accelerate the upgrading of spiritual power.

Because the huge energy stored in the psionic core crystal has not yet been transmitted to all parts of the body of the beasts, trolls, and resentful spirits, it appears to be extremely pure, and it is not mixed with any harmful negative energy that affects the cultivation of human spiritual power or conflicts with it.

In other words, human beings can directly absorb all of them into the spiritual sea in their own bodies, and slowly transform them into their own spiritual power, promoting the rapid promotion of their spiritual power level.

Therefore, since the advent of the Great Tribulation, after countless battles with fierce beasts, trolls, and resentful spirits, human beings have slowly discovered this huge secret, and they have gradually begun to turn from blind dodging to strong attacks.

Although everything is to kill those fierce beasts, trolls, resentful spirits and evil spirits, dig up the spiritual energy core crystals contained in their bodies, and strengthen their spiritual power level and strength through absorption.

But they soon discovered that this kind of psionic energy nucleus crystal was not found in all fierce beasts, trolls, resentful spirits, and evil spirits.

Generally speaking, only those high-level fierce beast trolls and resentful spirits and ghosts will condense psionic core crystals in their bodies, and even if some fierce beasts and ghosts condense psionic core crystals in their bodies, the energy they can provide is extremely meager.

Moreover, a spiritual cultivator can only absorb energy six times from the spiritual energy nuclei in the bodies of fierce beasts, trolls, and resentful spirits and ghosts that do not fluctuate much in the ranks.

In other words, the spiritual energy core crystals condensed in the bodies of fierce beasts, trolls, and resentful spirits and ghosts that are not very different in rank are impossible for a spiritual cultivator to absorb for a long time and always obtain the benefits of accelerating the promotion of spiritual power and improving their strength.

Whenever they kill and absorb the power of the Spiritual Energy Crystallization in the body of a fierce beast troll, the next time they must find and hunt those higher-level fierce beast monsters, resentful spirits and evil spirits as new targets and promotion materials.

But this is not easy to say, not to mention that there are only a very few spiritual cultivators who dare to hunt and kill high-level fierce beasts, monsters, resentful spirits and evil ghosts without fear of death, not to mention that whether it is a mid-to-high-level spiritual energy core crystal, it is extremely sought-after everywhere.

Almost anywhere, as long as there is news of the Psionic Crystal, it is no exaggeration to attract a large number of spiritual cultivators, mercenary rangers, and bounty hunters to flock to the area.

And these psionic crystals of different levels also have their own signature distinguishing characteristics.

The appearance of the low-level psionic core crystal was filled with a pale cyan glow.

The appearance of the mid-level psionic core crystal was overflowing with a pale blue color.

The high-level psionic core crystal will be tightly wrapped in a dazzling golden halo.

As for what the legendary super-level psionic core crystal looks like, there is no way to know.

After all, the high-level psionic energy core crystal is already an extremely rare and precious cultivation artifact, not to mention the legendary-level psionic crystals that have never even been seen before, and only occasionally heard of in the rumors.

Besides, even if that incomparably terrifying and powerful existence really appeared in the world, who could really dig out the spiritual energy core crystal in its body?

The diamond-shaped stone that Ying Xuan was holding in his hand in front of him that was slightly overflowing with light blue brilliance couldn't help but make him feel an incomparably powerful strange force stirring wildly.

However, this strange power that inexplicably emerged was always very familiar to Ying Xuan.

Seem... When he was lifted into the sky with a golden spear by Ifa in the circular execution ground of Lanyue City, and golden flames erupted from his chest, he suddenly felt an inexplicably powerful force that was equally familiar and incomparably strong surging all over his body......

"However, just after leaving the city, not only did I kill a mid-level one-horned monitor lizard without much effort, but I also unexpectedly obtained a piece of mid-level psionic crystal, so I can say that I was very lucky, right?"

Dissipating those conjectures that had sprung up in his mind for a while, Ying Xuan looked deeply at the piece of middle-level spiritual energy merge crystal that he was really holding in his hand at this time, and couldn't help but murmur with emotion inexplicably.

After all, since he woke up in the unknown dungeon on the Refining Sacrifice Mountain, Ying Xuan has encountered many unlucky things along the way when he came to this strange and strange world, which can be said to be possessed by a declining god.

But right now, it's extremely easy to get such a precious piece of spiritual energy crystal, not to mention running to its other level, it's really very lucky, not to mention it's still a mid-level thing.

I believe that this thing, once the slightest smell of those spiritual cultivators, mercenary rangers, and bounty hunters in Lanyue City, will make them instantly like flies that smell blood, and their eyes will be red and swarming.
