"Oh my God...... It's a mediocre name......"

Zhang Ning pulled out the giant sword, looked at the sword body with some disgust, and then inserted it back into the ground.

"This ......"

Li Baiyi didn't expect Zhang Ning to react like this, and his full stomach suddenly fell short.

"It's better to change the name in the future, it's much more domineering to be called 'Panlong' or 'Juque' than you'...... Tianque."

Zhang Ning muttered in his mouth, and planned the name change of the giant sword on his own initiative.

Li Baiyi wanted to say a few words when he opened his mouth, but he seemed to have thought of something, and his purple eyes were full of sadness.

"That's it, as long as you can accept the [Zongheng] inheritance, it won't be a big deal to change the name of this sword......"

"Oh, that's right......"

Hearing Li Baiyi say this, Zhang Ning stopped talking to himself and asked.

"I promised you to accept the inheritance, but what if I can't learn it?"

"No, since you have been selected by Tianque, you will definitely be able to take over the inheritance of the [Vertical and Horizontal] lineage, but it's just ......"

"Just what?"

Seeing that Li Baiyi wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang Ning subconsciously opened his mouth to ask.

"It's nothing, I just don't feel like there's any sword intent in you...... Perhaps, you are more suitable for knife practice......"

"Knife practice?"

Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment and looked at the giant sword in his hand.

Holding it in both hands, he held it in front of him, and then swung it a few times in a chopping motion.

"This giant sword can also be used as a sword, it's very handy......"

Seeing that Zhang Ning completely misunderstood what he meant, Li Baiyi was a little anxious, opened his mouth, and was ready to explain in more detail.

But at this moment, a loud buzzing sound came from behind him, interrupting his speech.

"Hum—"

"Uh...... Little brother, what are you doing? ”

At the same time, Zhang Ning was also attracted attention.

"Nothing ......," 659 replied perfunctorily, still with his back to the two.

Just like a child playing with mud, 659's squatting body on the ground blocked most of the view behind him, causing Zhang Ning and Li Baiyi to not see what he was doing.

However, looking at 659's gestures, it seems that he is digging something in the ground.

"What are you doing? Young ......"

Zhang Ning was curious, walked in to watch, and found that 659 was using his left palm as a shovel, repeating the digging action.

In front of him, a small crater had appeared on the ground that was not large in diameter, but quite deep.

During the excavations, a large amount of sand mixed with red particles was dug out of the hole, forming small mounds around the hole.

"You don't want to dig up all this collapsed dirt, do you? Don't bother, it's impossible. ”

Seeing that 659 kept digging the pit, Zhang Ning thought that the other party wanted to open up the road, so he opened his mouth to dissuade him.

Seeing that Zhang Ning had misunderstood what he meant, 659 turned his head and presented a handful of sand to Zhang Ning's eyes.

"No, I'm not trying to dig a passage, I'm just curious about these minerals, and speaking of which, do you know what they are?"

Glancing at the sand in 659's palm, Zhang Ning raised his eyebrows and spoke.

"You're talking about the glowing red grains of sand, right? That's a spirit crystal crumb, you've never seen it before? ”

"Spirit crystal crumbs?"

Although 659 showed a puzzled expression on the surface, it was actually sudden in his heart.

These crystalline minerals are indeed psionic crystals!

"That's right, but it's just a few debris here, and there are no formed spirit crystals, but then again, if there are large pieces of spirit crystals, there may be spirit crystal veins."

"If there is a spirit crystal vein, this place will not be a hunting area, and it will most likely be occupied by the other two clans......"

It can be seen that Zhang Ning has completely regarded 659 as a rookie who has never seen much of the world, and by the way, he also popularized the role of spirit crystals for him.

"If there is a vein, it is possible to produce a complete spirit crystal, and the spirit crystal can be fed to the rice worm, and the rice worm that eats the spirit crystal will have a rich spiritual energy in its body."

"As long as you eat rice worms, you can absorb these spiritual powers."

"You always know about psionic energy, right?"

Speaking of which, Zhang Ning also asked 659 as if confirmed.

"Well, psionic energy is the basis for the ability to use it." 659 replied.

"Uh...... That's only half right, psionic energy should be the contact of high-level abilities using abilities, and for ordinary abilities, or low-level existences, most of them don't need to consume psionic energy, relying on their own physical strength. ”

Zhang Ning opened his mouth to add, and at the same time looked at the small pit dug by 659.

"If you want to find ore veins, I advise you to stop, although there are a lot of spirit crystal debris in the nest of the snake's nest, there are no formed ore veins, not even large spirit crystals ......"

"No formed veins?"

Hearing this, 659 raised his eyebrows.

Long before he started digging, he had already analyzed the psionic situation inside the cave through monocles.

The results shown are quite abundant.

If it was just these scattered debris that caused such an abundance of psionic energy, how terrifying would the formed psionic vein be?

"That's right, I've checked it many times, not only the Terrans, but also the undead should have checked it many times, right?"

As he spoke, Zhang Ning looked at Li Baiyi on the side.

"It's just a cursory check, and if I see no signs of the existence of the vein, it's gone......"

Li Baiyi first responded, then frowned again, and replied.

"Of course, the previous inspection did not find that there were royal mutant snakes in the snake's nest, if I knew this, I would not have entered the village and town."

"Your undead have a large territory, so naturally you won't spend much effort inspecting a place like this."

Zhang Ning sneered, and his mood became a little cold.

Although the three of them are currently in a group for the time being, in the final analysis, Li Baiyi is a general-level zombie after all, and they are a human race.

If you can dispel the mustard born in more than ten years because of a giant sword and a period of getting along, then the human race and the undead will probably join forces a long time ago.

In the face of Zhang Ning's yin and yang weirdness, Li Baiyi didn't say anything, just lowered his head silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just as Zhang Ning was about to get up and take a look around, a change suddenly happened!

There was a tremor in the otherwise quiet underground!

Although it was not strong, the three of them still shook their hearts for a while.

Finally holding out until the shock ended, 659 raised his face and glanced at Zhang Ning with resentment.

"Didn't you say that the earthquake wouldn't happen again? What was going on? ”

Zhang Ning was also surprised, and hurriedly checked the surrounding walls, but it was still the same as before, and there were no cracks on it.

It was as if the shock just now was just an illusion of the three of them, and it didn't really happen.

"It's not an earthquake...... If it had been an earthquake, the passage would have collapsed long ago......"

"And even if it doesn't collapse, there will be at least some cracks in the cave wall, how can there be no traces at all, is it ......?"

The air kept murmuring, Zhang Ning seemed to suddenly think of something, and walked quickly to the collapsed mound.

Reaching out and grabbing a handful of dirt, he twisted it in his hand and sniffed it in front of his nose.

Soon, Zhang Ning's face changed.

"Sure enough! There's not just snakes in this den, there's that thing! ”

"What's that?"

659 saw that this was a problem, and hurriedly asked.

"A companion fungus! I've only heard from other Revenants how there is such a thing in a snake's nest......"

Zhang Ning's face was complicated, for fear that he had made a mistake, so he once again put his nose close and sniffed it.

"It's really that kind of fungus ......"

"What kind of fungus the hell is it?"

659 frowned, and asked.

He knew most of the mutated creatures, but that was with the help of a monocle.

Realistically, as a Elder of the Elder, he is just an outsider to this timeline.

I don't know as much about a lot of things as I do about the local natives.

"Snakehead mushroom, also known as mutant snakehead mushroom!"

As soon as Zhang Ning's voice fell, several data streams flashed on the mirror surface of 659.

"Creature Serial Number: 1748"

"Biocodename: Snakehead Fungus"

"Description: Fungal mutants, which are heterozygous in nature and cannot move, mature snake-headed fungi can produce umbrella-shaped fruiting bodies that feed on various mutated snake carcasses."

"Warning: The snake-headed fungus itself does not pose any threat, but the mutant snakes that accompany it will be greatly enhanced, and the mutant snakes that have devoured the snake-headed fungus can increase the probability of transforming into a king mutant creature."

"Warning: The growth process of the snakehead fungus is quite rapid, and the hyphae lurking in the soil will multiply and expand irregularly, which can easily cause local earthquakes."

"Note: After the fungus matures, fruiting bodies that have not been consumed by mutant snakes have a chance to produce derivative 1748-1, codenamed mutant snakeberry, which can treat most mutant snake venom after ingestion."

"It turned out to be a snakehead fungus...... 659 muttered.

It seems that this associated fungus is not dangerous other than causing local earthquakes, but why does Zhang Ning look so nervous?

Zhang Ning saw the confusion on 659's face and immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"If it's just a snakehead fungus, then there's nothing to be afraid of, but the point is that there is already a king mutant snake in the snake's nest! The cockscomb viper outside! Do you remember? ”

659 nodded.

"The snakehead fungus itself is not any threat, but it can increase the probability of the mutant snake transforming into a king!"

"With such a huge branch, I feel that there is a high probability that there is more than one king mutant snake!"

"You mean, there's a good chance we'll run into another royal mutant snake in this nest?"

659 also realized the seriousness of the matter.

If it is placed outside, even if there are ten snake kings, it will not pose a threat to him.

It's nothing more than a matter of pulling away and sending a ball of lightning with a snake.

But in the cramped den, everything is different.

The distance cannot be opened, and rashly using a ball lightning attack will only cause the hole to collapse.

When the time comes, I don't know if the snake king is dead 659, anyway, he must be dead......
