Chapter 672: Chapter 610: Spiritual Beings (Combined Chapter)_2

Occasionally, a dense and lingering mass of red or black smoke wafted over the heads of the crowd.

Lou Yi instinctively extended his divine sense, but unexpectedly, the tendril of divine sense was swallowed by the smoke, bringing a numbing sensation to his mind.

His heart involuntarily tightened, and he decided not to try again.

The voice of Elder Gui came to his ears: “When we’re at the Abyss, apart from the days when we clear out the demons, we can’t afford to be idle at other times. We need to explore and understand the situation of our Su District.

We should identify places with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, places with spiritual creatures, and places with danger… You never know when we might discover the whereabouts of heaven and earth wonders.”

“On the first level of the Abyss, there are twenty-eight major Su Districts. Our human race occupies twelve districts, while the remaining sixteen belong to the demon clan.

Without thorough preparation, it’s not easy to venture into those demon clan districts, considering the relationship between them and us.”

After half a day’s journey, the scenery remained unchanged, dull and monotonous.

Suddenly, a small black shadow emerged from the ground two or three hundred zhang ahead of the group.

’Whoosh!’

The boy, Lin Xuan, excitedly made his move, bringing together two fingers. A gold light filled with intent to kill shot from his fingertips, accurately hitting the black shadow.

With a ’bang’, the shadow fell to the ground, motionless.

Through layers of gray fog, the group finally discerned the shadow’s shape—it turned out to be a yellow-gray rabbit.

Its size was about the same as a wild rabbit outside, but its body was noticeably harder, seemingly crafted entirely from stone.

It had incredibly strong vitality, still twitching after being struck by Lin Xuan, a third level of the Spirit Platform expert.

Sightless pale purple eyes stared blankly at the sky, while abundant molten lava-like gray-yellow blood flowed from its wound, sizzled upon reaching the ground, and white steam filled the air.

’Pop!’

Elder Gui flicked a densely green peach wood spiritual artifact from his sleeve, smashing it onto the stone rabbit, causing its body to shatter.

“This stone rabbit is too weak and hasn’t developed any spirituality.”

“But its appearance here indicates there’s a nearby nest, which might contain a spiritually endowed Abyss creature!”

“Let’s search carefully!”

Upon saying this, the group started searching around where the stone rabbit appeared.

A moment later, a voice of surprise rang out: “Found it, over here!”

Lou Yi rushed over and found a crevice hidden beneath a huge rock.

Approximately one zhang long and three to four chi wide, the internal space was filled with gray fog, making it hard to discern.

“Should we go down and check?” He Xu Li asked.

“Let’s first investigate the depths.” Elder Gui shook his head.

He snapped his fingers, and a green flame dance wobbled its way into the crevice.

Simultaneously, he murmured incantations and cast another magic spell into the air.

A circular water mirror manifested before the group, revealing the surroundings of the flame inside.

Still discernible rock walls, uneven with sharp contours, but now tinged with black.

As the flame descended, it revealed a small river formed of red magma to their eyes.

Though the magma river appeared ordinary, it continuously bubbled at the surface.

“They’re hiding inside!” Elder Gui chuckled.

He waved his hand, and dozens of azure vines with thick black thorns appeared in the air, exuding a faint glow that conveyed an impression of indestructibility.

’Whoosh whoosh whoosh!’

The vines flew into the crevice following the flame’s path and arrived above the magma river, then shot directly into it one by one!

’Thud thud thud!’

The magma emitted dull sounds as vines plunged into it, splattering large amounts of molten liquid.

Next, the group heard piercing ’squeak squeak’ cries.

Shadows scurried out from the magma, frantically climbing the steep rock walls, and within mere moments, they had rushed out, exposing their forms.

Most were similar in size to the stone rabbit they had killed earlier, and these the group ignored.

Among few larger ones, the group swiftly acted to slay them.

Leader Lin Xuan, a Gold Element Cultivator, formed his fingers into a sword, continuously releasing golden light filled with killing intent, penetrating not only the bodies of stone rabbits but also the rocks behind them and even the unknown expanse beyond.

Elder Gui is a Wood Element Cultivator, wielding green vines with hardness comparable to iron, twisting in the air like spirit snakes, and shattering every stone rabbit they struck.

The yellow-faced man, Qin Dong, is an Earth Element Cultivator. As he muttered a spell in a low voice, large, earth-colored hands emerged from the ground, grabbing the stone rabbits violently and crushing them.

As for Uncle He, he summoned wind blades about a foot long and sliced the stone rabbits into two halves.

Lou Yi, currently a Body Cultivator, rushed to the stone rabbits, throwing punch after punch, causing their bodies to explode.

’The strength of these stone rabbits is surprisingly not weaker than a regular Martial Artist, and their physical toughness far exceeds that.’

In close combat, Lou Yi could feel the stone rabbits’ tremendous explosive power.

During their leap, they could even produce a sonic boom, and their robust flesh is comparable to low-grade magical artifacts.

If placed in Wangjiang County, any one of them could wreak havoc.

But unfortunately, they faced experts at the peak of Foundation Establishment and at the Spirit Platform level, thus they could only be slaughtered like ordinary wild rabbits.

Among the group, Ding Shiniang’s magic made Lou Yi most apprehensive.

It was a transparent droplet the size of a pea, seemingly ordinary.

But when it hit the stone rabbits, they exploded into fragments, bearing a weight obviously not simple.

Lou Yi could detect a hint of danger from it, contemplating that Ding Shiniang’s strength might be greater than he estimated.

On the scene, as these larger stone rabbits were killed.

Scattered faint white light drifted up from some corpses, resembling fireflies, about to quickly disperse into the world.

Elder Gui extended his palm, holding an emerald jade bottle with complex carvings and a line of ancient characters Lou Yi didn’t recognize.

“Go!”

The jade bottle flew into the void ahead, its mouth suddenly pointing downward, sucking in each emitted white light.

Finally, a stone rabbit as tall as a person jumped out from the crack, or calling it a rabbit-person would be more apt.

It had a rabbit’s head but walked upright, its strong body built of rocks, with developed pectoral muscles.

Its purple-red eyes glared at the group, full of anger, about to rush at the nearest, Lou Yi.

“Oh, there’s a big guy?”

The aura emitted by the stone rabbit was no less than mid-level Demon General, yet before the group, it was merely a lamb to be slaughtered.

’Whoosh!’

A long vine shot in front of it, wrapping it round and round, binding it tightly, unable to move.

’Swish!’

A golden light hit its head, causing it to explode.

Afterward, a white and green light floated out of the shattered head, which was again absorbed by the emerald jade bottle.

The emerald jade bottle landed in Elder Gui’s hand, he shook it before the group, and inside, a small sound of liquid moving could be heard.

“Luck is good today, encountering such an interesting creature.” Elder Gui laughed.

He turned to the boy Lin Xuan, asking: “Leader, how should we divide it?”

“Old rules, divided according to contribution.” At the mention of distribution, Lin Xuan’s expression became solemn.

“This creature wasn’t difficult to kill, let’s split it evenly.” Seeing no objections, Elder Gui prompted the liquid within the jade bottle to flow out.

The pale white mixed with a hint of green floated in mid-air, equally divided into six portions, poured into everyone’s palms, leaving a cold touch, even with a trace of chill.

Lou Yi obtained his portion of Spiritual Liquid, involuntarily recalling his research before coming here.

These so-called spiritual creatures are peculiar to the Abyss.

They contain spirit beneficial to cultivators, capable of accelerating the construction of the Spirit Platform.

Since it can aid in Spirit Platform construction, could it assist in refining Divine Acupoints?

Thinking of this, Lou Yi absorbed the Spiritual Liquid from his palm, directing it towards the first Divine Acupoint, the Candle Dragon Acupoint within him.

When this trace of liquid rushed into the Candle Dragon Acupoint, the originally dark acupoint suddenly brightened.

Then, a small region within the acupoint quickly absorbed the liquid, altering its nature, as if transforming from dead to alive, making Lou Yi feel his first sense of control.

He looked at the Attribute Panel, noticing some unexpected changes in the realm section.
