By dawn the next day, there were basically no rattlesnakes pouring out of the cave again, and Zhilingqi estimated that from the beginning of the first rattlesnake to the present, there have been about 2,000 rattlesnakes, all of which have been killed by themselves.

Seeing that there were no more rattlesnakes at the entrance of the cave, Zhi Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that it was not here that the rattlesnakes were completely wiped out by himself, there should still be a small number of rattlesnakes left, which was that he had lost the courage to fight again.

According to Zhi Lingqi's careful analysis, the remaining small number of rattlesnakes that dare not face themselves again, in addition to the old, weak, young and disabled, there should be a very small number of high-end forces in the rattlesnake group that are not weak and extremely cunning.

Chopping the grass does not eradicate the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, for the vicious demon beast group like the rattlesnake, the spirit will never be merciful, leaving endless troubles for himself.

After quickly collecting the intermediate and above rattlesnake demon cores, burying all the carcasses of rattlesnakes, and cleaning and restoring the killing scene, the spirit used his eyes and divine sense to probe the surrounding situation, and then took out the chisel axe from the small space of the life gate, and transported the spiritual energy from the entrance and exit of the rattlesnake, and opened the passage into the cave to widen it, vowing to kill all the remaining rattlesnakes.

Zhi Lingqi was not too anxious, he knew that the remaining old and weak rattlesnakes naturally did not dare to move, but those high-end strength rattlesnakes would definitely look for an opportunity to carry out a sneak attack on themselves, and they must always be careful to be vigilant.

After widening and digging all the way for forty or fifty meters, a deep and spacious cave suddenly appeared, and I didn't know where it was leading, and gusts of cold wind blew out of the cave, so that Zhi Lingqi couldn't help but shudder.

"Is it a rattlesnake burrow, or is it a natural burrow?" Zhi Lingqi thought to himself in his heart, looked into the cave, and then broke off a stone on the rock wall of the cave, the stone is translucent, evenly fused with some milky white, faintly glowing with light, the rock walls around the cave seem to be made of this kind of stone.

Zhi Lingqi looked at the stone in his hand excitedly several times, and felt that this stone contained quite a strong aura in his hand, and Zhi Lingqi guessed that this must be the spirit stone often mentioned in fantasy novels in his previous life, right? If this is a spirit stone, then it is difficult for this place to be a spirit stone deposit, if this is the case, I will be very rich, but I don't know how much storage there is in this mine?

Thinking of this, Zhi Lingqi secretly rejoiced, thanks to his foresight, he cleaned up all the corpses of more than 2,000 rattlesnakes that had been killed in time, and restored the killing scene.

Otherwise, it won't be long before the matter of exterminating the rattlesnake group by himself will be discovered by other demon beast groups, which will inevitably attract their prying eyes, leading to the competition for spirit stones, and then he will regret and be sad.

Zhi Lingqi thought about it for a while, and decided to thoroughly explore the specific situation of the cave first, not only to find the traces of the remnants of the rattlesnake, but also to figure out the general storage of spirit stones, if the storage of spirit stones is very large, he can't mine them all for a while, then he has to find a way to hide them, he doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others.

If the spirit stone reserves are not large, then as long as he quickly cleans up and kills the remaining rattlesnakes, he will start to mine them desperately, and strive to mine all the spirit stone deposits here before the other demon beasts find them.

Zhi Lingqi immediately unfolded his divine sense, and began to carefully explore in a step-by-step inward method, the cave was not very deep, about four hundred meters to the end, and what he got from his exploration was a happy and a sad result.

Yixi is the storage of spirit stones, at least in terms of the current appearance, it is okay, and it did not disappoint him; One worry is that no trace of the remaining rattlesnake has been found, and the future troubles will not be eliminated, which is always his hidden worry.

Although he didn't find any clues that might allow the rattlesnake to hide, the Spirit Revelation would not give up, so he turned back and began to explore in detail for a second time, the stone axe in his hand constantly tapping on the stone wall of the cave, and his feet kept stomping on the cave floor in turn.

In this way, he explored back step by step, and when he was about one hundred and twenty meters back, that is, about two hundred and eighty meters from the cave to the inside, Zhi Lingqi found an abnormality, and the echo of his feet stomped on it felt a little hollow.

So, Zhi Lingqi hurriedly stopped, bent down and hit the ground with a stone axe again, carefully probing, analyzing and judging, and determined that the bottom of this place was empty, but the question of how to open it next gave Zhi Lingqi a headache.

Since the rattlesnake can hide inside without a sound, it is impossible to enter by forcible destruction, there is definitely some mechanism or something like that, controlling the opening and closing entrances and exits, and if you force it in, there may be no accidents.

Zhi Lingqi searched back and forth near the place, and after a while, he really let him see the clue, in a place about twenty centimeters from the ground on the cave wall, there was a wine glass-sized, slightly concave moving stone, the color of the stone was exactly the same as the color of the rock on the cave wall, if it was not for close attention and touch, there would be no abnormality at all.

Zhi Lingqi gently pressed his finger on the moving stone, and a one-meter-wide and two-meter-long hole appeared in front of him, the cave was filled with a faint fluorescence, and a small path slowly extended downward, and a trace of fishy smell also emanated from the cave.

Zhi Lingqi was immediately happy, because the fishy smell had already shown that the remaining rattlesnakes were down there.

In order to prevent these rattlesnakes from escaping again, after entering the cave of the descending line, Zhi Lingqi found the mechanism that closed the entrance and exit while closely monitoring it with his divine sense, and quickly closed the entrance, and then wedged the mechanism firmly with a hard stone.

Just like the entrance to the rattlesnake in this mountain, the small passage is not long, only a little more than twenty meters, and then what appears in front of the eyes of the spirit is a spacious underground hall, the hall is oval, about the size of a football field, the height is about seven or eight meters, and all around are small grottoes with the same height and size, like a cave.

The grotto of the second layer is slightly into about one meter and five into the cave wall, the front of the grotto is a circular corridor, the outer edge of the corridor is basically level with the face wall of the first layer of grotto, just like a two-story walled house, there are obviously traces of human digging, probably because it has been abandoned for countless years, these caves in front of it appear very lonely.

There was not the slightest movement here, after careful observation, Zhi Lingqi suddenly let go of his strong aura, and crushed around, in an instant, seven or eight stout rattlesnakes attacked him at the same time, Zhi Lingqi held a chisel mountain axe in his right hand, and the chisel axe method waved again and again, and the fingers of his left hand moved secretly, and in an instant, the corpses of seven or eight rattlesnakes fell to the ground.

Giving up cleaning up these snake corpses, Zhi Lingqi changed the way he had just applied extensive pressure, concentrated his breath and coerced it, and followed up from right to left to crush it one by one, and the sound of crackling and blood came from time to time, and it was estimated that those old, weak, and young rattlesnakes were being reimbursed one by one.

After a circle of coercion impact, Zhi Lingqi did not stop, and continued to carry out the second round of crushing, this time the crackling sound and the smell of blood compared to the more than two hundred times in the first round, a dozen times seemed insignificant.

After the third round of crushing, there was no more abnormality, but Zhi Lingqi was still not at ease, so the fourth round began to enter each small cave, one by one to search and explore the divine sense, first the first layer of the grotto, and then the second layer of the grotto, even if it was a small gap and a tiny hole, he was carefully investigated, and he would never take it lightly.

During the exploration, Lingqi found that the grottoes on the second floor are generally smaller and denser than the grottoes on the ground floor, as if they are human living rooms, each room is divided into two rooms, and some large rooms also have three or four rooms, but there are only three sets of four rooms, and there are basically no other superfluous things in the room except for the stone bed, stone bench and stone table.

The first floor is the grotto on the ground floor, although it is generally larger than the second grotto, but it is also the mode of the room, but a considerable part of the settings in the rooms on this floor should be warehouses, because there are many stone shelves in it.

The treasury is roughly divided into four categories, of which at most two categories can be understood at a glance, that is, the spirit stone warehouse and the refining material warehouse, because the spirit stones and refining materials are still full of stacks in the warehouse, and Lingqi also found that the spirit stones in the warehouse are obviously much higher than the level of the spirit stones in the cave wall above, because the concentration of spiritual energy contained in these spirit stones is incomparable to the outside spirit stones.

If the spirit stones on the stone wall of the cave outside are low-grade spirit stones, there are no less than a million spirit stones here, at least medium-grade spirit stones, and there are more than 10,000 spirit stones stored separately, and the level is obviously higher than the other spirit stones in the warehouse that are stacked together in large quantities, and it is estimated that they should be high-grade spirit stones, or spirit stones with special effects.

In the face of so many spirit stones, this unexpected joy almost made Ling Qile faint, and the happy Zhi Lingqi probe was sure that after there was no rattlesnake, he fartfully stored all the spirit stones and refining materials from the meridian gate into the small space of the Qi Sea.

The other two types of warehouses, the Zhilingqi conjecture should be the medicinal herb warehouse and the food warehouse, because they are empty, it is difficult for him to determine, so he can only deduce according to common sense.
