Chapter 1067 Skyfall and Cocoon
After a night of silence, one of the seven bright moons in the sky soon turned into a scorching sun, which also ushered in the prelude to the early morning in the spirit world.
At this moment, many wooden houses in the eastern part of the Amethyst Mountains opened their doors, and three hundred yellow-skinned and big-eyed low-level mayfly monks came out of them.
Even though it was still early at this moment, they had no time to chat, and immediately fled towards the depths of the Amethyst Mountain Range either together or alone.
After all, there are no more amethyst mines on the outskirts of this mountain range. If you want to dig enough amethysts to feed your spirit insects, you have to go deep into the mountains.
What is strange is that after everyone left, the Mayfly youth rushed out the door.
I saw that he first glanced at the direction where the people were leaving, with a smug smile on his face, and then fled towards an old mine nearby.
It was only less than half an hour after the flight, a green shadow shot up from the treetops and shot straight at Chong who was flying.
However, before the emerald green shadow approached within ten feet, many black spots flew out from his waist, gathered into a black demon wind, and rolled towards the emerald green shadow.
Immediately, the emerald shadow was intercepted, revealing the figure of a small monster like a snake and a monkey.
Immediately, after hearing a few screams, the snake monkey turned into a pile of bones, and fell towards the ground sparsely.
"Sure enough, there are quite a few monsters and ancient beasts in the Amethyst Mountain Range, and I have only escaped so far before I met a mid-level mayhem.
Presumably, in the depths of this mountain range, there are even Iron May-rank monsters one level higher than me, otherwise there would not be a few missing amethyst miners every year! "
Chong, as a monk of the mayfly tribe who had just entered the upper mayfly rank, could not help but look at the falling bones at this time, showing a little rejoicing.
Because he didn't plan to go to the depths of the Amethyst Mountains this year, so naturally he didn't have to worry about the monsters and ancient beasts in the mountains.
In the following journey, such an attack will happen from time to time, but fortunately, there are some low and mid-level goods on the outskirts of the mountain range, which can be easily dealt with by relying on the self-protection of the spirit insects.
About three hours later, I rushed to a huge deep pit, and then I just looked around briefly, and then I fell down suddenly.
In the sound of "whoosh", Chong rushed into one of the narrow tunnels at the bottom of the giant pit leading to deeper depths.
Since this mine has been exploited long ago, there is no purple aura that is commonly seen underground in the Amethyst Mountains in the dark tunnel.
But after fleeing in the dark for a while, the walls of the tunnel gradually became hotter, and the further they went, the hotter the surrounding area became.
Seeing this scene, Chong's face suddenly flashed with joy, and while condensing the spirit shield, he immediately raised his escape speed, and flew towards the depths of the tunnel even faster.
Not long after, streamers of purple aura appeared in the tunnel, moving back and forth, blocking the way forward.
Immediately, Chong stopped his escape, looking at these seemingly harmless purple spirit currents, showing a dignified look.
Suddenly, he flipped his palm and took out a piece of black ore.
Immediately afterwards, with a flick of his wrist, he threw it forward, and immediately came into contact with those purple spiritual currents.
The next moment, there was only a soft "噗嗤", and the whole ore turned into a plume of black smoke, which was directly vaporized by the purple spiritual flow!
"It's so powerful! It seems that the ancient book is really not deceiving. The purple source crystals in front of it are indeed not the existence of the upper echelon like me, and can be coveted!"
After seeing the power of the purple spiritual flow, Chong couldn't help but gasped, but soon a smile appeared on his face, and he continued:
"Hehe, but in this way, I can completely feel relieved!"
After all, with a movement of his divine sense, he summoned all the purple-spotted bugs he raised.
With a pinch of the magic art in his hand, these purple-spotted bugs attached to Chong's body, and within a few breaths, they turned into a seamless armor.
Immediately, he rushed to use the skills secretly, and scattered the magic power on the body surface, which immediately made tens of thousands of purple-spotted insects neigh, as if they were urging something.
And at this time, Chong lived up to the expectations of his spirit worms, and walked towards the tunnel blocked by the purple spiritual flow.
After taking more than ten steps in a row, he soon encountered several sweeping purple spiritual currents.
However, when these purple beams of light that were powerful enough to melt gold and cut jade brushed past the purple-spotted beetle, they only made the purple-spotted beetle light up, and there was no reaction.
On the contrary, the purple spiritual flow seemed to be swallowed, and suddenly became shorter.
And this situation was obviously within Chong's expectations, he immediately continued on without surprise or joy, completely ignoring these purple spiritual currents that could easily kill the peak of the may-level peak along the way.
After walking hundreds of feet like this, he finally saw a purple crystal wall, and the tunnel came to an end.
Seeing this, Chong immediately quickened his pace and arrived in front of the crystal wall in a short while, then stretched out his right arm without saying a word, and pressed his palm on the crystal wall.
Hearing only a series of subtle gnawing sounds, a purple spiritual wave immediately spread from his palm to the insect armor all over his body.
"Well~"
As if experiencing some extremely comfortable feeling, Chong let out a soft moan from his throat.
After a while, he said excitedly to himself:
"Not to mention the danger of going to the depths of the mountains to mine amethysts, it often takes a whole day of hard work to spare two or three amethysts in addition to the prescribed tasks, which are used to feed my spirit insects.
But I can directly let the spirit insects devour the purple source crystals that are dozens of times more valuable than ordinary purple crystals. Compared with the 4,800 spirit stones that have been greedy, they are not worth mentioning! "
It turned out that the low-level mayflies squeezed their heads and even willingly gave up part of the spirit stones to enter the Amethyst Mountains for mining, just for the one or two more amethysts dug out every day.
Amethyst is the upgrade resource for most spirit insects at low levels. Normally speaking, for an ordinary upper-level worm, as long as they continue to mine in the Amethyst Mountains for a hundred years, the realm of spirit insects can be raised by a small level.
If it weren't for the dangers and accidents that accompany this job, if the spirit stones were really not given, there would be many people rushing to do it.
And the purple source fine crystal is the root of the purple crystal vein!
The reason why the veins of purple gold in the Purple Crystal Mountains have been inexhaustible throughout the ages is because as long as the Purple Source Jingjing exists, ordinary purple crystals can continue to be produced.
For example, this old mine only needs to be left alone for more than 10,000 years, and clusters of amethyst will "grow" in the tunnel again, becoming a new mine again.
However, if you want the Purple Origin Crystal to play the role of giving birth to the Purple Crystal, you can't impose any restrictions to interfere with the spiritual flow it emits.
Therefore, the owners of the Amethyst Mountain Range have always only hired mayflies of the upper ephemeral rank, so as not to lose the Amethyst Jingjing.
But obviously, there is some secret in Chong's body, which allows the purple-spotted bug he cultivated to swallow the amethyst spiritual flow that could not be swallowed originally.
He didn't come here to work at all, but to dig roots for the Amethyst Mountains!
An hour later, a pothole for people was dug out on the crystal wall.
He immediately sat cross-legged in, and then pinched the magic art in his hand, and seven or eight "short sticks" were stabbed out from all over the insect beetle immediately, sinking into the surrounding crystal walls.
This time, the insect beetle devoured the purple source crystal several times faster, and purple spirit waves swung along the short stick towards Chong's body.
Three days later, in the square building complex in the eastern part of the Amethyst Mountains, Steward Yi surnamed Yi wriggled his fat body, happily passed through a restriction, and came to the interior of a building with several floors.
"Hey, what's going on in our mining area these few days when the manager is away?"
With that said, the manager surnamed Yi sat lazily in front of a huge table.
But at this time, next to a light array in the center of the hall, a seemingly very young low-level mayfly heard the words but hurriedly cast a spell on the light array.
"Guan Yi, I'm going to tell you that since the past two days, the spiritual power fluctuations in this area have been very strange, and there may be something wrong with the purple source crystals underground!"
After working for a while, Xi immediately pointed to a spot on the light array.
"What! You're not mistaken, are you? If you want to check the situation of the Purple Origin Jingjing, I have to invite two adults from the Iron Mayor class.
It is not a trivial matter to get this wrong! "
The manager surnamed Yi immediately looked straight.
When Mayfly youth Xi heard the words, he immediately remembered the consequences of his mistakes. He had to bear at least half of the spirit stones needed by the two Iron Mayfly masters.
However, when he thought of the reward after the abnormality was confirmed, his hesitant eyes suddenly narrowed and said:
"Easy to manage, I can"
However, before Xi could finish speaking, an earth-shattering loud noise came from above their heads.
The huge sound waves directly shook all the forbidden runes in the hall, and all of a sudden they were inspired!
"Quick! Find out what's going on outside!"
The manager surnamed Yi immediately shouted anxiously.
"I don't know either! The Spirit Watching Formation is completely messed up!"
Looking at the extremely chaotic light formation of the aura at this time, Xi said with a look of bewilderment.
You know, this light array can only monitor the aura fluctuations in the entire eastern part of the Amethyst Mountain Range. Now that it has been so severely disturbed, it can only be that the source of the interference is strong enough to disturb the aura environment in the entire eastern mountain range!
And that kind of existence is simply unimaginable for Hitch's upper echelon.
As soon as the words fell, there was a violent shock!
At this moment, everyone felt as if there was an evil dragon turning over in the ground, or casting spells in a panic to stabilize their figures, or fleeing out of the hall.
After a few breaths, a dull roar reached their ears.
After distinguishing the sound of earth and rocks cracking, Manager Yi surnamed and others couldn't help but realize something.
Fortunately, this change came and went quickly. In just a moment, the land returned to calm, and the hall was safe and sound under the protection of the prohibition.
However, the manager surnamed Yi and the others did not heave a sigh of relief, they all hurriedly escaped from the building.
"Did any of you see that? What happened just now?!"
While asking loudly, the steward surnamed Yi looked in the direction of the Amethyst Mountains.
I saw that there was a billowing smoke and dust in the sky, completely covering several mountain peaks that originally stood there.
"Boss, I happened to see it, it seemed like something fell from the sky!"
"Quick, send a patrol over there to have a look!
Xi, immediately prepare a summons circle for the steward, this matter must be handled by the adults of the Iron Mayor!
By the way, you guys are going to gather those miners and count the casualties! "
After giving the order, the steward surnamed Yi hurriedly fled back to the building below him.
At the same time, in a certain cavity in the ground, a trembling arm suddenly protruded out of the soil wall, and after some struggle, a embarrassed figure crawled out.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, he shook his dizzy head, took a few deep breaths, and then began to recall what happened just now.
"The earth dragon turned over? Why did the earth dragon turn over so well? What kind of bad luck did I have?"
Originally, he was still wantonly stealing the Purple Origin Jingjing, but he was buried suddenly. If the bug armor was not strong enough, the first wave of heavy pressure would have killed him!
"Forget it, as long as you are still alive, the left and right are just changing places."
After regaining his senses, Chong planned to use the earth escape technique, returning to the surface first.
After all, such a big commotion will definitely make the bastard in charge send someone over to check it out, so he has to keep a low profile for a while.
But just after Chong stood up, his face changed, and he hesitated looking at the top of his head.
"The Ziyuan Jingjing has been stirred up everywhere, am I going to devour it all the way?"
It turned out that during the earth dragon's turnaround earlier, a large amount of purple source crystals had been mixed into the soil layer, making his upward path look like a maze.
If his consciousness could have the strength of the iron ephemera, he would not be afraid, but in fact, his consciousness is only on the upper ephemera, as long as he gets close to the purple source crystal, he will be burned!
Therefore, there are only two roads in front of Chong, one is to escape in the underground maze and find a way out by luck, and the other is to let the beetle swallow the purple source crystal all the way, and open a straight road leading to the surface. path of.
However, these two routes required a lot of time, Chong was really not sure, and got out before the senior management of the mine arrived.
And once he is found to be able to survive underground full of purple source crystals, it will be equivalent to the exposure of the matter, and he will definitely die at that time!
"What should I do? What should I do?!"
After some anxious thinking, Chong suddenly clapped his hands and cursed:
"I'm so stupid! Why do I have to get out from here? I'll go forward and find a place that is not covered with purple source crystals, can't it be fine?!"
Dazed by the shock, Chong couldn't tell the direction at the moment, so he randomly chose a crack in the ground that was convenient for escape, and got in.
Three or four hours later, Chong finally left the original area, the purple source crystals above his head were becoming less and less, and he could return to the surface smoothly.
But at this moment, Chong, who was using his full strength to perform Earth Dungeon, suddenly felt that there was nothing in front of him, and he had drilled into an underground space.
To his surprise, this underground space is not only huge, but also has many amethyst crystals piled up, and the amethyst spiritual flow almost merged into a lake.
"Huh? What's that?"
With a glance, Chong immediately found a particularly conspicuous cocoon-like thing in the amethyst spiritual flow.
