Spar Crystal

The surface of the dark water kept rolling and a black thing climbed out from its depths. Looking at these densely packed ent.i.ties, Qin Mo and Lin Zizheng"s expression changed slightly. These black ent.i.ties were a large group of black scorpions, centipedes and toads and they emitted a faint and strange light.

As soon as the bugs went ash.o.r.e, they went straight for the two. Qin Mo waved Thunderbolt and released a large sword light. The venomous bugs turned into powder one after another.

Lin Zizheng also quickly stepped out from behind Qin Mo. With his hand gestures, the venomous insects around him also died one by one. Soon, the corpses of these bugs were all around the two.

The venomous insects were only at the strength of Qi Refining but they were superior in number. As soon as Qin Mo and Lin Zizheng had eliminated a batch, they were surrounded by the next batch.

"This will not work." Cutting off another group of venomous bugs, Qin Mo"s expression grew serious. His eyes fell on the black water in front of them and said to Lin Zizheng behind him, "Let me have a look."

Without waiting for Lin Zizheng"s reply, Qin Mo jumped directly into the black water.

Lin Zizheng raised his foot to chase after Qin Mo but the moment Qin Mo left, the venomous insects around Qin Mo suddenly lost their target so they surrounded Lin Zizheng instead. There were so many bugs that they gathered into a huge black wall, which blocked him from escaping.

Looking at these insects, Lin Zizheng snorted coldly. His eyes flashed red and a pure black gas floated out of the bugs. The gas appeared and was absorbed into his body, resulting in the immediate deaths of the venomous bugs.

As soon as Qin Mo entered the black water, he smelled a rotten smell and a bone-chilling cold came from around him.

Looking at the many venomous insects that rushed toward him in the black water, a flash of purple light surrounded him. The lightning fire in his Dantian appeared and wrapped him within it. Wherever the lightning fire burned, it burned the insects to ashes.

Without being bothered by these venomous bugs, he could feel a spiritual fluctuation coming from below, even if the surrounding area was dark. He didn"t hesitate to move straight in that direction.

When he approached, he saw a huge demonic beast standing at the center. It was pitch-black all over, covered with countless dense legs. A pair of big-crimson eyes were very vivid in the dark water.

His heart tightened. The demonic beast before him was a large centipede. Its strength had reached the complete phase of Spirit Solitude, but the power fluctuation around it was much stronger than that of previous demonic beasts in similar phases.

As the centipede sensed Qin Mo, it raised its torso and its dark-red eyes were full of blood l.u.s.t. It swung its huge body, heading straight for him.

Qin Mo immediately retreated while the sword in his hand went straight toward the large centipede for an attack.

"Ding!" A crisp crash rang. Hit by Qin Mo"s long sword, the centipede didn"t suffer any injuries but it shook, its body slightly uncomfortable. Then it raised its head toward the heavens to release a shrill long whistle, spraying out a mouthful of black venom at Qin Mo.

His pupils shrank and he moved to dodge the attack. Unexpectedly, the speed was so fast that it landed on him as soon as it was shot. But before the attack could land on him, it turned into smoke from the lightning fire around him. Qin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. The lightning fire had supreme yang, the natural enemy of almost all toxics.

The centipede could not land a single hit and a hint of urgency flashed in its eyes. It sprayed out more venomous poison in his direction. For a time, only the sound of "zizizi" could be heard underwater.

Qin Mo hooked his finger upward and faced against this situation. He shot a cl.u.s.ter of purple flames at the centipede.

When it saw the small flames, the centipede didn"t take them seriously. In its eyes, Qin Mo was just a random small ant and he wasn"t afraid at all. The sharp tail flicked to extinguish the flames but upon touching it, the centipede"s sh.e.l.l on its tail was burnt and large bits of it were destroyed.

Wounded by the little ants before its eyes, a murderous intent burst out from its large eyes. Its body swayed rapidly as countless feet grew, its limbs becoming longer. They scattered densely in the water like tens of millions of ribbons floating around Qin Mo. As soon as it moved its body, those feet gathered around Qin Mo"s body.

The centipede"s sh.e.l.l was too hard, even the lightning fire couldn"t make an impact and it could only cause a small amount of damage.

Qin Mo kept blocking the centipede"s constant attacks by waving his sword. He felt the increasing pressure around him and he wrinkled his brows.

The lightning fire flickered on Qin Mo"s hands and he found that the color in the middle part of the fire was much richer than its surroundings. His eyes suddenly brightened. The lightning fire in his Dantian was stronger than before.

Qin Mo controlled the spirit power in his hands, used it to form a small s.p.a.ce around the lightning fire, and pressed down the flame in the middle.

Under the influence of the spirit power, the lightning fire shrunk quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, until only a small cl.u.s.ter remained. But the color of this cl.u.s.ter of lightning fire was deep.

There had been many long limbs surrounding Qin Mo. As if he couldn"t feel the pain on his body, he bent forward and threw the processed lightning fire right into the centipede"s right eye.

Even though the centipede"s defense was astonis.h.i.+ng, the eye was also a fragile part of its body. The powerful lightning fire hit it and the scarlet eyes instantly dimmed, eventually turning into a small hole.

However, the lightning fire didn"t extinguish, so along with the eye, the flame drilled inside of it and came into contact with the centipede"s black blood. The lightning fire became enormous and burned vigorously inside.

Surrounded by lightning fire, the centipede had no time to struggle and reluctantly turned into black ashes. Qin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps the black water made the centipede powerful. If it hadn"t been for the power of lightning fire, he wouldn"t have been able to wipe out this centipede so easily today.

With the death of the centipede, all the venomous insects around Qin Mo also strangely lost their lives.

In the meantime, the whole black water seemed to have lost all of its vitality and quieted down instantly.

His heart jumped and he suddenly felt a bad premonition. He circulated his inner spirit power and emerged.

As he drilled out of the water, he felt a tremendous suction coming from the center as he left the black water in a hurry. He stood on land once more.

When Qin Mo looked around, he found that all the venomous insects above were dead. The bugs" corpses before Lin Zizheng were scarier as if they had buried Lin Zizheng in them.

Lin Zizheng came out of the venomous bug pile and was relieved to see that Qin Mo hadn"t suffered many injuries.

The black water behind them suddenly flowed violently and made a loud noise. When Qin Mo looked back, he saw a huge whirlpool in the middle, constantly spinning.

"The water is declining." Lin Zizheng voiced from his side.

Qin Mo looked closely and saw that the black water was decreasing.

After about an hour, only a thin layer of black water remained. Standing on the edge of it, Qin Mo could see the black mud at the bottom.

The black water was still decreasing, and under their watchful eyes, it gradually condensed into two irregular black crystals.

Qin Mo held up his right hand. The two black crystals flew up into the air and landed on his hand instantly. He handed one of them to Lin Zizheng while Qin Mo himself studied the crystal in his hand.

Qin Mo looked carefully at it but he couldn"t feel the slightest strength within it or anything different. It was just a common stone but Qin Mo knew that the spar crystal formed by the black water must have something special.

His spirit power was circulating rapidly. Qin Mo separated several spirit powers and spread them into the spar crystal. As soon as it touched it, those spirit powers were blocked and returned. They couldn"t get close to the stone.

A trace of doubt flashed through his eyes. He circulated his spirit powers and tried again.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently and Qin Mo lost balance.

"Be careful." Lin Zizheng, who stood beside him, immediately supported Qin Mo. He said respectfully, "Let"s quickly leave here. This place will collapse."

Qin Mo looked up and saw that the whole s.p.a.ce was shaking. There was only one big hole left in the once body of black water. The bottom of the big hole was sinking and the surrounding barren hills were shaking. The most terrifying thing was that the rocks on top of the hills were constantly falling. He knew that all the rocks would fall completely in a short amount of time and merge with the ground.

"Move!" Qin Mo and Lin Zizheng looked at each other seriously. Their bodies rapidly moved as they headed straight for the only hole before them.

The two shadows flashed by. They were quick and arrived inside the entrance of the hole in a moment.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the s.p.a.ce behind the two completely collapsed and it blocked even the hole they had just come out of.

Looking at the sealed hole entrance, a trace of joy glinted through Qin Mo"s eyes. But when he turned his head and looked forward, his expression suddenly changed. The surrounding area was chilling. This place turned out to be a huge ice cave.
