Chapter 184: Ten Thousand Snakes Drained of Their Value (1/2)

In the dark ruins of the cave, shortly after the last red light disappeared, a flickering flame appeared.

Flames appeared in the left hand of a red figure, it was Li Yan who crawled out of Wan She's body.

The flames were caused by Li Yan activating the fire energy and igniting the fat in Wan She's body.

In order to prevent the flame from burning the clone's palm, Li Yan simultaneously wrapped the entire palm with fire energy to isolate the temperature of the flame.

Although for the clone, even if the palm is burned by the scorching flame, it can be recovered immediately.

The fire burning in Li Yan's hand was so strong that its light could only radiate about two feet in the darkness.

Li Yan used his left hand as a torch, held it high, and then walked around in the darkness.

After going around, Li Yan had a general understanding of the environment he was in.

The entire cave is filled with gravels of different sizes, ranging from the size of a house to the size of a human head.

One or two very shriveled little snake corpses could be vaguely seen under the gravel.

It is said to be a small snake, but it is actually one or two feet long.

It took Li Yan less than a cup of tea to walk through the cave.

For Li Yan, this cave is already quite big, but for the seventy-eighty-foot-long Wan She, this little space can only allow it to stretch its body.

At this time, Li Yan had arrived at Wan She's head.

This was the first time that Li Yan saw Wan She's snake head completely. He had no chance to observe it before and was swallowed by Wan She.

When I looked at Wan She a few days ago, all I saw was Wan She's huge vertical pupils.

"It's so big. It looks like it will take me a long time to finish it."

Looking at the huge snake head lying on the ground in front of him, with its head several times higher than his own, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh.

He has only eaten one-third of the meat of Wan She.

Li Yan estimated that it would take a month to finish the remaining two-thirds of the snake meat, even if he ate it every day.

Besides snake meat, Wan She has something better in her body.

Li Yan stepped on the huge snake head and walked to the top of the snake head step by step.

As he walked, he stopped from time to time and put his hands on the smooth snake scales, as if sensing something.

Finally, Li Yan stopped somewhere on the snake head.

"I sensed that the spiritual energy fluctuations here are the strongest."

Then, the spiritual sword in Li Yan's right hand began to emit five-color light, and the five elements of true energy gathered on the spiritual sword.

With a single stroke, a deep and long gash was opened in the snake's body, which was protected by hard scales.

The snake blood flowed out in pools, instantly dyeing the surrounding snake scales red.

Perhaps Wan She was already dead, or perhaps Li Yan consumed too much snake meat and blood, causing the snake blood to stop flowing after a short time.

Li Yan continued to use his sword as a knife, constantly slashing at the huge wounds he had made previously.

After splitting through the five-foot-thick layer of flesh and blood, they came to the hard layer of snake bones.

The spirit sword struck the white snake bone, and even produced large sparks, which was enough to see how hard the snake bone was.

Li Yan was not angry but happy about this.

Snake bones can be so hard, and when they are sold for money in the future, they can be sold at a good price.

The spirit beast's body is a treasure, and its flesh and blood can be used to make elixirs and can also be taken directly.

In order to maximize the remaining value of Wan She, Li Yan planned to use all the remaining flesh and blood of Wan She to make elixirs.

Firstly, you can improve your alchemy skills, and secondly, you can not only use the elixirs yourself, but also sell them, so you won't lose money no matter what.

Spiritual beast bones, fur or scales can also be sold to weapon refiners.

The weapon refiner can use the spirit mines and combine the parts from these spirit beasts to create a handful of spirit weapons.

With Wan She's size, just the snake scales and bones sold could bring tens of thousands of kilograms of spiritual beads to Li Yan.

In the past, when Li Yan was about to run out of resources, he also had an idea for Wan She.

It was only that they did not completely run out of food, and that enough food supplies were quickly replenished, that Li Yan finally gave up the idea of ​​selling Wan She.

Now that Wan She is dead, there is naturally nothing to say. As long as everything is valuable, everything will be sold.

In addition to the above two resources, spiritual beasts also have one of the most important resources, which is spiritual crystals.

What Li Yan is looking for now is Wan She's spiritual crystal.

Although Wan She's bones were very hard, the spirit sword attached to the Five Elements Qi was even sharper. After a few blows, Wan She's skull cracked.

Once the defense was broken, it became much easier. One sword swing penetrated three inches into the bone, and another sword struck one foot into the bone.

Just like that, in less than ten breaths, Li Yan came to Wan She's head.

Although the brains of snakes are generally very small, Wan snakes are so big that their brains are still half the size of a human being.

The entire ventricle is only a few square meters in size. Li Yan can just straighten his body here, and he can touch various thick nerves attached to the inner wall of the ventricle with his hand.

Then, Li Yan came to a corner of the brain ventricle, where Li Yan saw the target he was looking for, an egg-shaped spiritual crystal embedded in the nerve layer of the brain ventricle.

"Such a big spiritual crystal, if it were put up for auction, it would probably make a lot of people crazy."

Li Yan roughly dug out this spiritual crystal, which was larger than an average person's head, and couldn't help but be a little dazzled.

The texture of the egg-shaped spirit crystal is similar to crystal, and the whole is light purple. Under the firelight, you can see thick floc-like dark purple lines inside. There is also a layer of scale-like traces on its surface, which feels very rough and prickly.

Those thick floc-like lines are the essence of the spirit crystal, named [Spirit Crystal Essence Line].

Some spirit crystals are actually composed of two parts, namely [Spirit Crystal Crystal] and [Spirit Crystal Essence Line].

[Spirit Crystal Crystal] contains sufficient spiritual energy, which can be used directly for cultivation and can also be used for alchemy.

And [Spirit Crystal Essence Line] is a kind of natural treasure, not every spirit crystal has [Spirit Crystal Essence Line].

The extracted [Spirit Crystal Essence Line] can be used to refine a specific second-grade superior elixir [Spirit Crystal Longevity Pill].

Because [Spirit Crystal Essence Line] not only contains a huge amount of spiritual energy essence, but also contains part of the life essence of spirit beasts.

The life of spirit beasts is much longer than that of humans.

Therefore, even if it is only part of the life essence of spirit beasts, it can also increase the life span of humans.

Of course, the [Lingjing Longevity Pill] is the weakest among all the [Longevity Pills]. Generally, it can only extend life for one to three years, and only the first three pills are effective.

If you are lucky, three pills can extend your life for nine years, and if you are unlucky, three pills are only equivalent to one pill of others.

According to the book that Li Yan has read, some rules in this world are quite strange, and the life span after extension can be displayed.

After taking the [Longevity Pill], golden stripes will appear randomly on the human body, and one golden stripe represents one year of life.

When time passes through the body, it will first consume the time of extended life, and then consume one's original life.

It is this kind of visualized life passing that makes those who are about to reach the end of their lives have a crazy pursuit of various [Longevity Pills].

Therefore, even the low-level [Lingjing Longevity Pill] of [Longevity Pills] can be sold at a price dozens of times higher than that of the general second-grade high-quality spiritual pills.

At the auction, the average auction price of a [Lingjing Longevity Pill] can reach thousands of kilograms of spiritual beads.

This also led to a surge in the price of [Spirit Crystal Essence Threads], and ordinary quality ones could be sold for two hundred kilograms of spirit beads.

Like the thick [Spirit Crystal Essence Threads] in Li Yan's spirit crystal, the quality is perfect, and it can't be taken without seven or eight hundred kilograms of spirit beads.

After all, the better the quality of [Spirit Crystal Essence Threads], the more [Spirit Crystal Longevity Pills] can be refined, and the quality will also be good.

Li Yan counted the [Spirit Crystal Essence Threads] in the Ten Thousand Snakes Spirit Crystal and found that there were a total of fifteen.

In other words, just this one [Spirit Crystal Essence Thread], if it is sold directly, it will cost tens of thousands of kilograms of spirit beads.

If he refines all these [Spirit Crystal Essence Threads] into [Spirit Crystal Longevity Pills], the price can be doubled by up to ten times.

Li Yan thought about it, and he didn't lack resources recently, so he handed this Ten Thousand Snakes Spirit Crystal to the main body through [Transfer Space].

After finding the Ten Thousand Snakes Spirit Crystal, Li Yan came out of the snake head and then came to a position on the Ten Thousand Snakes.

With one sword, he cut the snake skin and the thick layer of snake meat along the scales.

"Not here."

After entering the snake body again, Li Yan did not find what he wanted, so he walked in the snake body.

In less than ten steps, Li Yan found the target.

"Fortunately, it is not far away."

Li Yan looked at the snake gallbladder that was more than one person tall, and Li Yan smiled.

The snake gallbladder is the essence of a snake. The spiritual energy contained in this snake gallbladder that is more than one person tall can be compared to the spiritual energy provided by one-third of the flesh and blood of ten thousand snakes.

Li Yan touched the gallbladder wall of the Ten Thousand Snakes' Gallbladder and found it very thick, so he put down his worries.

So Li Yan put his hand on the Ten Thousand Snakes' Gallbladder, and the next moment the snake gallbladder disappeared and appeared in Li Yan's [Transfer Space].

This time, the one who received the snake gallbladder was a clone in the snow mountain.

This was the clone that Li Yan sent out specifically to find the snow mountain.

In this world, snow mountains are still easy to find. Just find a mountain more than three thousand feet high, and the top of the mountain must be covered with ice and snow.

The clone in the snow mountain had already dug out a very large cave, in which a large number of large boxes made of ice were piled up.

When the snake gall appeared next to the clone in the snow mountain, the clone quickly pulled a large transparent refrigerator and put the snake gall in it.

At the same time, some blue translucent liquid had to be poured into it.

This blue translucent liquid is called [Spirit Sealing Liquid], which is used to seal the spiritual energy of the spiritual materials of flesh and blood attributes to prevent the loss of spiritual energy due to long storage time.

After he had the intention to kill the Ten Thousand Snakes, Li Yan had already started to prepare these.

[Spirit Sealing Liquid] may not be easy for others, but for Li Yan, who has a clone in the Dan League branch of Xuanfeng King City, it is just a matter of spending some spirit beads.

Li Yan got a whole ton of [Spirit Sealing Liquid] and spent hundreds of kilograms of spirit beads just to preserve as much Ten Thousand Snake meat as possible.

After the most valuable spirit crystals and snake gall in the Ten Thousand Snakes were taken out and sent away, Li Yan began to dissect the Ten Thousand Snakes as a whole.

Each of the snake scales on the surface of the Ten Thousand Snakes is as big as a round table that can seat eight people. Li Yan picked them up and peeled them off one by one.

These scales are still very hard. Li Yan tested them and found that they can weaken the true qi attack to a certain extent. They are indeed good materials for refining spiritual tools.

The value of intact scales and broken scales is completely different, so when Li Yan peeled off the scales, he tried his best to ensure the integrity of the scales.

It took Li Yan a long time to peel off the scales that were as big as a small mountain. Most of them were intact, and a few were broken.

Li Yan did not throw away the broken scales. He packed them together with the intact scales and sent them to the Snow Mountain clone.

If such a large number of scales appeared on the market together, the price would definitely be pushed to the lowest. Li Yan was still clear about the market economy.

So Li Yan planned to sell this batch of scales bit by bit, first selling the broken scales, and then selling the intact scales.

After the scales, it was the snake skin, which was also a good thing. It could be used to make pills and tools.

When peeling the skin, the snake meat was also decomposed by Li Yan.

Li Yan divided the snake meat into pieces the size of a head, and then wrapped it with the peeled carpet-sized snake skin, pulled it together into the [Transfer Space], and sent it to the Snow Mountain clone.

In this process, a lot of snake blood was wasted, and Li Yan only collected less than half of the snake blood.

It took nearly two days for Li Yan to finally clean this 70-80-zhang long Wan Snake.

Li Yan shaved the snake head clean. In addition to the spiritual crystal, the most valuable part of the snake head is the poison glands and fangs of the snake.

Li Yan carefully took out a trace of venom from the two-person-high venom gland and put it on his hand, which directly melted the entire palm.

You know, the clone inherited the physical strength of the original body. The flesh tempered by the true qi is as hard as iron and stone.

After that, Li Yan wrapped his palm with true qi and tested it several times, and found that the venom is also corrosive to the true qi.

It takes three breaths of time for the true qi of a single attribute to corrode.

The same amount of the true qi of the five elements, after thirty breaths, the venom is consumed, but it is not completely corroded.

This is the effect brought by the endless true qi characteristics of the five elements.

As Li Yan's five elements true qi continues to increase, this effect will become more and more powerful.

As long as the upper limit of the attack cannot break the limit of the five elements true qi, then you will never break the defense of the five elements true qi.

Coupled with the quick recovery effect of the Five Elements Qi, it is possible for a practitioner of the Five Elements Qi to fight ten or even a hundred warriors of lower or even the same level.

Li Yan was not going to sell these venoms, he planned to keep them for himself.

It happened that his Dan League clone had recently read a book about how to make poisons, which mentioned the configuration of a poison.

Use a large amount of poison to concentrate and refine a more effective and terrifying poison.

Li Yan guessed that there were tons of poison in this poison sac, which was enough for him to refine a shocking poison.

Since his debut, he has used sneak attacks and poisons the most to deal with enemies.

Now there are more and more enemies, and there are very few poisons on the market that can deal with innate warriors, and the effect is not good.

Last time, Li Yan used several poisons targeting innate warriors to deal with Lin Xincheng. The amount used was not small, but the effect was not satisfactory.

In the end, the huge body of the Ten Thousand Snakes was left with only a pale red giant skeleton with a trace of flesh and blood.

The skeleton of a spirit beast that has just died for a few days can be eaten. As long as the essence of the bone marrow in the bones is extracted, it can be used to make pills.

After a month of death, part of the spiritual energy in the bone marrow of the spirit beast skeleton will disappear, and part will solidify, improving the firmness and toughness of the spirit beast skeleton.

At this time, only the skeleton can be used for refining equipment.

Li Yan plans to check the market conditions. If the market conditions are similar, he will sell it as a material for refining equipment. If the market conditions are quite different, then Li Yan will have to do it himself and refine the bone marrow.

Although he has no shortage of spirit beads at hand, the more resources such as spirit beads, the better.

After smashing and packing the last skeleton of the Ten Thousand Snakes and sending it to the [Transfer Space], Li Yan couldn't help stretching.

It took him three whole days to finally deal with the entire Ten Thousand Snakes.

That is to say, Li Yan is now very strong in spirit, and he will not feel any fatigue even if he has not slept for three days and three nights.

"Okay, now I'm going out."

As soon as Li Yan had this idea, he heard a "hissing" sound coming from the silent cave.

"Hmm? The sound of snakes, there are still snakes alive?"

Li Yan followed the sound with some curiosity.

Then, he saw several small black snakes, licking the dried blood stains on the ground.

When he saw several broken empty shells of snake eggs soaked in dried snake blood around the little snakes, Li Yan understood where these snakes came from.

"I didn't expect that there were still snake eggs that could be preserved so well. Not only did they not break, but they also happened to be nourished by the blood of thousands of snakes and hatched little snakes."

Li Yan could only sigh at the good fortune of life.

He didn't kill these little snakes, there was no need.

After this episode, Li Yan no longer wasted time and began to gather the five elements of true energy on the spirit sword.

The powerful true energy fluctuations disturbed several little snakes, and they hurriedly drilled into the cracks in the rocks.

"Five Elements Conversion Spirit Technique - Diamond Drill."

Instantly, the five-color five-element spiritual energy on the spirit sword quickly turned into dazzling white light, and the white light quickly formed a spiral-shaped drill.

Li Yan once again injected a large amount of true energy into the spirit sword, and the drill bit immediately began to rotate.

As soon as the drill bit touched the hard rock, it began to shatter like a hot iron rod touching snow, and an upward passage began to appear.

"Boom boom", this is the sound of rocks falling when Li Yan opened the passage.

The gravel here is extremely unstable. Once the passage is opened, a large amount of gravel will fall down and bury the newly opened passage.

Fortunately, this is Li Yan's clone, and he is not afraid of being crushed by gravel.

After being buried for no less than seven or eight times, Li Yan finally came out.

"It's not easy, I finally came out."

"Ah", Li Yan roared, and soon spread to the messy Ten Thousand Snake Valley.

Some big snakes that returned to the Ten Thousand Snake Valley were startled, raised their bodies, and looked towards Li Yan.

Li Yan ignored these reptiles that could be crushed to death at will, kicked his feet, and the true energy spurted out from his feet, instantly sending Li Yan to a height of ten feet.

This is not the first time Li Yan has flown into the sky, but every time he relies on his own strength to hang in the air and look down on the mountains, Li Yan's mind will be much broader.

Perhaps he will gradually get used to it after staying in the air for a while in the future.

In mid-air, Li Yan's eyes swept around, flying here and there from time to time, as if he was looking for something.

He was indeed looking for something, a corpse.

The last time the Ten Thousand Snakes fought with humans, he heard a familiar voice, but he hadn't remembered it yet.

After these days, he finally remembered that the voice was the voice of a tribe member in the Zhuang tribe.

He wanted to see if he could find the body of that person. If not, he would go to the Zhuang tribe to have a look.

Speaking of which, he was able to turn a disaster into a blessing, and it had a lot to do with the Zhuang tribe.

It would be nice to give them a few pieces of Ten Thousand Snake meat at that time.

The meat of the innate spirit beast can only be purchased with spirit beads in the outside world, and it can't be bought even if you have money.

However, Li Yan hadn't found the body of that person yet, but instead saw a familiar flower - [Snake Orchid].

"This is also a coincidence. Since I have encountered it, I will take it away."

Li Yan landed next to the [Snake Orchid], and with a casual swing of his sword, the several big snakes guarding the [Snake Orchid] all fell.

Li Yan searched the spiritual medicine books of the Xuanfeng Danmeng branch and the Su family, but could not find the corresponding spiritual medicine.

This means that this is probably a new spiritual medicine that has never been discovered in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, Li Yan's clone ate one plant and found that its positive effect on humans is to increase human height.

As for the negative effect, the clone will automatically isolate it and will never pass it to the original body.

So, when he saw the [Snake Orchid] again, Li Yan suddenly had an urge to study it.

After carefully digging out the [Snake Orchid] and putting it in the [Transfer Space], Li Yan was ready to leave.

However, a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy stopped Li Yan.

Looking at the place where the [Snake Orchid] was dug out, Li Yan decided to continue digging.

After digging only ten feet down, an irregular spherical object the size of a football, emitting spiritual energy, appeared in front of Li Yan.

"What is this?"

A question mark appeared in Li Yan's head.
