Chapter 3: The Gold Eater
The surrounding miners all shot pity at Wang Yicheng, and this was the fate of offending the foreman.
Wang Yicheng smiled coldly, turned around and walked into the No. 4 mine. Cave No. 4 was the deepest of all the caves, and Wang Yicheng walked more than 1,000 meters along the passage before he reached the mine.
The mine is thousands of square meters, and there are several torches inserted in the stone wall, and the light of the fire is shaking, and the dim mine looks even more gloomy. There were only a few miners, and everyone looked like frightened rabbits. The clanging sound of the ore is also very harsh. The miners who were assigned here were all offended by the foreman and had to come. Cave No. 4 has killed dozens of people in the past six months, and it has become a veritable death mine, but it is said that the mine owner has hired cultivators to deal with the underground creatures.
Every once in a while, these miners put their ears to the ground and listen, and the stony ground shook as the underground creatures emerged from the ground.
Wang Yicheng mined ore for a while, and suddenly heard a miner exclaim, "There is a voice underground." ”
The miners hurriedly threw down their tools and listened heavily, and suddenly, at the same time, they screamed. The ground is shaking more and more, and you can feel it without having to put your ears on the ground.
The miners screamed and rushed to the passage, scrambling to escape, and in the blink of an eye, the mine was empty.
Wang Yicheng was the only one who didn't escape, he stood in the center of the mine, staring intently at the ground, he wanted to see what this terrifying underground creature looked like.
The ground shook more and more, and with a "boom!", the ground was bursting with rubble and dust. A skull the size of a bamboo basket protruded from the ground, with two long tentacles at the tip of the skull.
The underground creature soon discovered Wang Yicheng. The body came out of the ground completely.
"Heh, what a big ant!" Wang Yicheng couldn't help but exclaim.
This underground creature is called the Gold Eater in this world, and it is about the same size as the lion and tiger on Earth. It looks like an ant that has been magnified a thousand times. The six thin legs under the body are short and sturdy, the body is a dark carapace, two long tentacles, and the breath is hideous and sharp. The Gold Eater lives by devouring ore and absorbing the energy contained in it, and has a strong bite ability, which can dig holes in hard rock, all thanks to this pair of teeth.
"Shhh Soared into the air and threw himself at Wang Yicheng. Although it is large, it has excellent bounce and agile movements, comparable to a lion tiger.
Wang Yicheng also moved fast enough, his toes were a little on the ground, and he had retreated more than ten meters.
"Whew!" Although the gold eater couldn't bite Wang Yicheng, the two tentacles were thrown over like two soft whips. Wang Yicheng didn't expect it, and his body fell backwards rapidly. The soft whip flew past Wang Yicheng's cheek. "Smack!" slammed into the stone wall, and the stone chips flew one after another, leaving two deep marks on the stone wall. If an ordinary mortal is drawn by these two tentacles, it is estimated that he will be cut in half directly.
The Gold Eater pounced on Wang Yicheng again. Wang Yicheng jumped to his feet, hid in the air with its tentacles, and jumped onto its back. Wang Yicheng raised the shovel in his hand and slammed it on the back. When the sound sounds, sparks splash in all directions. It's like striking on an iron tool.
The Gold Eater devours ore all year round, absorbing its energy. At the same time, it also absorbs the iron in it into the body, which is why this black carapace is formed, which is extremely hard. It felt Wang Yicheng jump on his back, and jumped violently, trying to shake Wang Yicheng off. But Wang Yicheng stood firmly on its back with two feet, no matter how it shook, it was as steady as Mount Tai.
Wang Yicheng knocked it on the back, but he couldn't find a flaw. Wang Yicheng was not discouraged, his body shook, and suddenly jumped to its tail, clasped the gap in its deck with one hand, and hung his whole body upside down, and slammed it on its hind with a shovel.
Wang Yicheng has already figured out the weakness of insect monsters, generally the weak abdomen is weaker defense, and the back hole is the weakest part of the abdomen.
Sure enough, a deep wound was split open by Wang Yicheng at the back of the body, and purple blood gushed out. The Gold Eater screamed and shook its tail desperately. It has killed many humans, and it is relatively contemptuous of this weak creature, but I didn't expect to meet a powerful one today.
Wang Yicheng swung his shovel and slammed into the tail of the Gold Eater, and under the severe pain of the Gold Eater, he slammed into the ground, it couldn't deal with Wang Yicheng, and the instinct of the lower creatures was to escape.
Wang Yicheng's body shrank and shrank into the crack in its carapace, he was now very curious about these underground creatures, how they lived underground, why they suddenly started attacking the No. 4 Mine Cave recently, Wang Yicheng intuitively felt that there must be a reason for this.
The rocks around the Gold Eater's body shattered, bitten by its hard jaws so that it could walk through the rocks.
After more than ten minutes, the Gold Eater traveled hundreds of meters through the rocks and found nothing. Wang Yicheng frowned, it seems that he is going back, according to his current physique, if he follows it further, I am afraid that he will not be able to go back.
Suddenly, with a boom, the gold eater fell into a space, and there was a hissing sound, Wang Yicheng didn't dare to show his head to check, and swept it with his divine thoughts, it turned out to be a small cave, only a few dozen square meters, but there were more than a dozen gold eater monsters.
The Gold Eaters usually walk under the rocks, without digging a path, and the cave is full of bite marks on all sides, apparently carved out by the gold eaters, but what is the use of them digging this small cave.
I saw the gold eater pounce on the center of the cave, lightly dip its tentacles in a pit, and then put it into its mouth, and in an instant, the wound on its tail began to heal.
Wang Yicheng's pupils shrank slightly, this was a breath of energy, and he felt it. This aura is so familiar, this is the immortal qi, but it is much weaker than the immortal qi that he has obtained. The super self-healing ability is also a characteristic of the fairy qi.
Wang Yicheng concentrated his thoughts on the center of the cave, where there was a small puddle with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, as big as a bowl. This is half of a piece of ore, and the upper part of the ore is lifted open, revealing the liquid within.
"It's the essence of the mine!" Wang Yicheng was very surprised. There is a certain chance of forming this substance in a vein, and the condition is that after hundreds of millions of years of condensation, some liquid essence will be formed in the vein. It's the essence of the marrow. The essence of the ore contains the essence of the ore vein, and a small drop is worth thousands of ores. It is a rare treasure in the world.
I saw that the ore around the essence of the ore was like a red spar, crystal clear. This is the essence of ore, and it is also the best refining material. It's no wonder that Mine 4 is often attacked by Gold Eaters, presumably the Ore Essence that lured them in. It's just that why don't these Gold Devouring Monsters suck up these treasures in one go, and only absorb a little bit at a time? Wang Yicheng realized after a little thought that these Gold Devouring Monsters were not cultivators, and their absorption of energy was limited, and they could only absorb it little by little.
Wang Yicheng is worried about how to absorb the energy in the ore, and now these liquids are the best tonic. It can be absorbed directly, but these gold eaters are a little troublesome. To deal with one, Wang Yicheng is still sure, and to deal with more than a dozen at the same time, Wang Yicheng does not have this ability.
Wang Yicheng thought to himself, don't these gold eaters sleep and rest? When they are all asleep, they will secretly take the treasure by themselves. Unexpectedly, Wang Yicheng waited for a day, and these gold eaters were not tired at all. Always stay in front of this puddle of liquid, forming a circle, like a pack of dogs waiting for a meal.
Wang Yicheng was helpless, and suddenly his face changed slightly. His divine thoughts were powerful, and he felt that there was some aura of cultivators on the ground. Mine No. 4 died one after another. The owner of the mine has long said that he will invite monks to govern it. Now these people may be the monks who have been invited, if they find these essences. This treasure has its own share.
Wang Yicheng took a deep breath, now he had to take a risk. Wang Yicheng came out of the gap in the deck where he was hiding, raised the shovel in his hand and struck the back of the gold eater under him. The wound that had just healed was still fragile, and in an instant, the skin cracked and blood splattered.
The Gold Eater screamed and swooped forward, stepping on the other Gold Eaters, and the group of Gold Eaters was in a state of confusion.
Wang Yicheng took the opportunity to jump up, jumped down to the side of the mineral essence, and took a big sip at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, the group of gold eaters spotted the lurking enemy, and they hissed when they landed. As if they were crazy, this group of gold-devouring monsters pounced on Wang Yicheng, and the tentacles on their heads flicked out a whirring sound. Dealing with the thief who stole their most beloved food, the Gold Eaters are filled with rage.
Wang Yicheng had already prepared, and his body was extremely flexible, shuttling back and forth among these Gold Eaters, and the Gold Eaters couldn't bite him at all. A good physical practitioner is not only good at martial arts, but also a measure of the skill of dodging and light body.
However, the attacks of these gold eaters are too dense, especially their tentacles, and the small space is full of black whip shadows. Wang Yicheng was accidentally hit in the shoulder by a tentacle, and there was a sharp pain when he landed, and blood splattered.
Wang Yicheng rolled on the ground, and suddenly rolled to the belly of a gold eater, and his body was attached to it. The massive Gold Eater became his shield. No matter how fierce other Gold Eaters are, they can't attack here.
Wang Yicheng smiled slightly, and began to refine the mineral essence in his mouth, the energy of this mineral essence was extremely rich, and it could be directly absorbed. Wang Yicheng had experience in using the Qi of the Immortal Spirit, and quickly absorbed the energy from the meridians into the dantian.
The broken inner pill and the beast baby in the dantian were still in a dormant state, Wang Yicheng sent all the absorbed energy into the inner pill, and the energy used to repair the beast baby was too huge, and this energy was far from enough.
The energy inhaled in the Inner Pill immediately took effect, and I saw that the Inner Pill slightly emitted red light, and many small cracks on the surface also began to close, which was the regenerative effect of the Immortal Qi. Wang Yicheng was overjoyed, and immediately concentrated on refining the immortal qi.
After a moment's effort, Wang Yicheng suddenly jumped out of the belly of the gold-eater monster that kept jumping wildly. Under the rage of this gold eater, he opened his mouth and bit Wang Yicheng fiercely. Because of Wang Yicheng, it was accidentally injured by other gold eaters, and many armor pieces had fallen off its body.
Wang Yicheng sneered slightly, slowly took a step back, and waited until the gold eater pounced in front of him, and suddenly a fireball shot out. The lowest level of the fireball technique, Wang Yicheng has not used it for decades, this is the initial spell of the disciples of the Qi refining period.
However, now Wang Yicheng only has the level of the Qi refining period, and he can only use this kind of initial spell.
Although it is a primary spell, it is extremely accurate and wonderful when used by Wang Yicheng. The fireball bounced into the Gold Eater's jaw. The Gold Eaters let out a scream and rolled on the ground, no matter how strong they were on the outside, their internal organs were still soft and fragile, unable to withstand the burning of fireballs.
"Whoosh!" Wang Yicheng continuously popped out fireballs, and from all directions, more than a dozen gold devouring monsters that swooped over were all shot into the fireballs from their mouths, and they kept rolling on the ground in pain. The disciples of the Qi Refining Period were probably the only ones who could use the Fireball Technique so accurately and wonderfully.
The gold-eaters who had been hurt retreated slightly, but they did not leave, the marrow spirit was too tempting for them, and they were a little reluctant.
Wang Yicheng sneered slightly, and suddenly a fireball and a frost spell were launched at the same time, accurately hitting the head of a gold devouring monster. The scorching heat of the flames combined with the rapid cooling of the Frost Technique. With a clatter, the Gold Eater's head carapace shattered. Wang Yicheng let out a loud shout and threw out the shovel in his hand, just as it pierced into the shattered carapace. The Gold Eater screamed, fell to the ground, and after a few convulsions, died.
The remaining gold eaters instinctively felt the pain of their own kind, and Wang Yicheng's terrible. With a hissing sound, they all burrowed into the ground and escaped. Wang Yicheng smiled slightly, this kind of biological defense is very strong, but it is not too bold. In fact, he only absorbed a mouthful of mineral essence, and only returned to the level of the early stage of qi refining. The round of spell casting just now has consumed the true yuan power, so the last time, I used the shovel to kill the monster. If you can't scare away this group of big ants, I'm afraid it's really troublesome!
Wang Yicheng walked in front of the mineral essence, only to see that only a small half of the spar pit was left, obviously it had been absorbed by this group of gold devourers these days, it was a pity to think about it.
Wang Yicheng didn't have a container to hold these liquids, so he could only sit cross-legged next to the essence of the mineral essence and immediately began to refine it.
Drink the liquid in one gulp and absorb the energy in it. This planet is really magical, there is no aura, but it contains fairy qi in the ore. The immortal qi is of course wonderful, but for cultivators, it is only a miracle of regenerative effect, but how do the cultivators of this world cultivate?
After a moment, suddenly the cave wall shook slightly, it was not the Gold Eater, but the monks on the ground came down, they obviously found the passage dug by the Gold Eater, and came down to check.
Wang Yicheng frowned, speeding up the absorption.
"Boom!", a group of people broke through the stone wall and entered this small cave. Many people lit the cave with torches, and the cave was very bright. (To be continued.) )
