Chapter 48 Gold swallowing beast, spirit iron ore marrow!
Underground cave.
The miner's lamp has long been extinguished, and the cave is extremely dark. Only certain ores on the surrounding walls emit dots of light.
A figure in white was sitting cross-legged. Because it was deep in the underground mine, he did not use formation defense.
And this just allows something to see an opportunity.
A dark shadow emerged from the water and approached cautiously.
Chi~
The sound of drooling came from the darkness.
After it tasted blood food eight years ago, it fell in love with the taste. However, blood food stopped appearing and it never tasted it again.
Today, it smelled of meat again.
Out of instinct, it felt that this human was a bit of a threat, so it did not attack immediately. It waited until the other person sat cross-legged in meditation and became completely quiet before it finally crawled out.
It paused cautiously, stretched out its long tongue, and licked the saliva that it couldn't help but lick. Then it stared, opened its bloody mouth, let out a breath, and pounced forward.
It was about to bite the man's head off with its big mouth.
Suddenly, a figure in white who was meditating cross-legged stood up, and at some point a spiritual sword appeared in his hand. The light of the sword was like the moon, and he slashed with one strike.
Xia Yu had long felt that someone was watching him, but he was not sure, so he could only use the tactic of luring the enemy.
Let me ask, how could he not practice using formations in the cave where the tragedy happened?
clang!
Amidst the sound of metal collision, sparks flew everywhere. Xia Yu's spiritual sword unexpectedly struck an iron knot, and the black figure also flew backwards.
"What's so hard?" Xia Yu stared curiously.
What he saw being chopped off was a beast covered in scales. It looked like a pangolin, but its mouth was like a crocodile, full of sharp teeth and drooling.
"Gold-swallowing beast!" Xia Yu recognized him.
The gold-swallowing beast is a common spiritual beast in the mines. It likes to swallow some scattered ores in the mines.
But this gold-swallowing beast is obviously different. Not only is it larger in size, but the upper surface of its scales reflects a magnificent light color, as if it were made of metal. It is a metal monster.
After the monster was discovered, it looked at Xia Yu fiercely.
The sword strike just now did not cause any damage to it, which made it a lot more courageous.
"Roar." It let out a low roar.
Then, its stubby hind legs kicked off suddenly, its body flew up, and rushed towards Xia Yu again!
Clang clang clang!
Sparks continued to bloom in a series of sword lights. What shocked Xia Yu was that the scales on the monster's body were all made of the highest quality spiritual iron. His own spiritual sword could not break through the defense at all.
Xia Yu tried attacking the head, abdomen, back and tail. Basically, there were no weak points. The scales were harder than ore.
"What has this gold-swallowing beast gone through to become so hard?"
One person and one beast were fighting for who knows how long, but they were unable to do anything to each other. Xia Yu was also very embarrassed. Even the strong men in the Lingxi realm were beheaded by him, but there was nothing he could do with this beast.
This thing is just like an iron lump, it has no weaknesses.
Finally, "Iron Pimple" got tired first, glanced at Xia Yu fiercely, made a splashing sound, and dived into the water again.
Xia Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and then began to arrange the formation.
Soon after, a simple spiritual formation appeared. After placing the spiritual stones, the formation lit up, and a bubble with seven-color light mist illuminated the cave.
Xia Yu patted the storage bag, took out the piece of jade, looked at it carefully, and then took out various materials.
This is the natal sword formation that Xia Yuanhao is planning to build.
The materials were all available, and Xia Yu had no experience in refining weapons. Fortunately, the records in the jade card were very detailed, so he only had to make them step by step.
Although it is easier said than done, it is difficult to do.
Xia Yuanhao prepared fifteen pieces of materials, probably wanting to refine a sword formation with twelve flying swords, but Xia Yu took action and wasted five pieces of materials.
Fortunately, the sixth part was finally made, and a few days later, a small sword half the size of a palm was gleaming and extremely sharp.
Although it is still different from the appearance recorded in the jade card, it already has the initial characteristics of a spiritual treasure.
"This is the Lingbao." Xia Yu's eyes flashed.
The feeling of a spiritual treasure is indeed very different from that of a spiritual weapon.
The spiritual weapon always feels like a sword in the hand, and after it is released, it also requires a lot of mental control; but the spiritual treasure is different, as if it is an organ in one's own body, and the treasure moves according to the heart.
"nice one!"
Xia Yu's face lit up, he opened his mouth and sucked in the small Lingbao sword immediately into his mouth. Under the stomach, there is a place called the "sword pouch" where the Lingbao can be stored and warmed.
While warming up the spiritual treasure, he continued to refine it.
After the first successful refining, Xia Yu also found some tips. He successfully refined two more handfuls and swallowed them with his mouth open.
In this way, there are three Lingbao flying swords.
Although there are still a few materials, Xia Yu has no time to refine them anymore. He cannot waste all his training time on this monster.
The formation closed and Xia Yu walked out.
Under the water, the gold-swallowing beast has been paying attention to Xia Yu.
Then he saw Xia Yu pat the storage bag, take out a magic talisman, flick his wrist, activate the talisman, and form a light curtain outside his body.
Xia Yu found this "Water Avoidance Talisman" from the storage bag of Xu Da clan elder.
After using it, he walked into the mine lake and the water surface suddenly parted.
Xia Yu walked completely underwater, and the power of the water-avoiding talisman formed a bubble to protect his body from water.
He walked into the water and soon found a deep cave, which should be the lair of the gold-swallowing beast.
The gold-swallowing beast hid in the cave and kept looking outside. When it saw Xia Yu approaching, it took the initiative and pounced over.
Wow!
The water surged and the gold-swallowing beast opened its huge mouth.
This time, Xia Yu did not have the spirit sword as before, but fought hand-to-hand with the gold-swallowing beast. With his strength, he was no match for the gold-swallowing beast, and was soon crushed by the gold-swallowing beast under the water.
"roar!"
The gold-swallowing beast opened its huge mouth and bit into Xia Yu's head. You could see the sharp reflections on the teeth.
In its small eyes, there is contempt for human beings.
But at this moment, it saw the sneer in Xia Yu's eyes.
"call!"
Xia Yu suddenly opened his mouth, and a dazzling light flew out of his mouth, followed by two more dazzling lights, and the light and shadow of three small swords all pierced into the mouth of the gold-swallowing beast.
"Death!" Xia Yu's face hardened, and with a thought, the three Lingbao flying swords immediately expanded and began to spin in circles.
roar!
The gold-swallowing beast was so miserable that it immediately let go of Xia Yu and fled into its own cave.
There are no weaknesses on the surface of its body, but its internal organs and internal organs are not that hard.
Three Lingbao flying swords were slashing back and forth in it, circling up and down, like a meat grinder, chopping up all its internal organs.
Xia Yu followed and rushed into the cave.
What he didn't expect was that the cave was not that deep. He walked downward for a long time and finally reached the bottom of the cave.
The monster, the gold-swallowing beast, had been beheaded and was lying quietly deep under the water, surrounded by the minced meat and blood spat out of its mouth.
Xia Yu followed and opened his mouth, and the three Lingbao flying swords immediately returned.
With a thought in his mind, the three Lingbao Flying Swords emitted dazzling spiritual light, and all the minced meat and dirt on the surface of the swords were shattered, and then they flew into his mouth.
"Good stuff." Xia Yu dragged over the body of the gold-swallowing beast.
The scales all over this guy's body are treasures, and they can be used to refine treasures. If they are sold, they can be sold at a good price.
But just when Xia Yu was about to leave, he walked around the depths of the underwater cave again, and his expression suddenly changed.
He patted the storage bag, and a sharp-nosed mining hoe appeared in his hand. He knocked off a rock and looked at it, his face suddenly shocked.
This is not a rock, this is a piece of ice crystal with a metallic luster. After so many years of mining, this is the first time Xia Yu has seen such pure ore.
"This is the marrow of spiritual iron ore!"
Hongyashan Mine once mined a piece of spiritual iron marrow in history, which was also the first pot of gold for Xia Yuanhao's fortune.
It was never mined again.
And in the deepest part of this mining lake, there are spiritual iron marrow everywhere, so it’s no wonder that this gold-swallowing beast looks like this.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu was pleasantly surprised and quickly went out and took down the metal bottle...
