God of Undead

Chapter 77 Disappointment
"Eh..."

In the narrow cave passage, Shen Chen wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the hole in front of him in horror. His back was chilling, and he was full of fear. He had already moved away from the hole, and he didn't dare to approach it at all!

That strange fish king is too terrifying, with infinite strength and incomparably fast swimming speed, it is definitely not something that a blood-melting monk can compete with. At this time, it is hovering near the entrance of the cave, a large black shadow is reflected on its huge body, and its two big eyes are shining. The fierce light, like a lantern, penetrated indescribably.

If it weren't for the narrow rock path, only enough to allow a grown man to get in and out, Shen Chen is really in danger at this moment. There is no doubt that it would be easy for that strange fish king to kill him in the water!
"Damn, you scared me to death!" Chen Chen patted his chest with a look of horror on his face. If he hadn't escaped so fast just now, this little life he just picked up would be buried in the belly of the fish again!
After calming down, Shen Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange. It stands to reason that all black stone fish are about the size of a palm. He has preyed on so many in the past few days, and the biggest one he caught during the period was only a little over half a foot.

But at this moment, the black stone fish king outside the cave has grown to a full length of more than one foot, and its body is plump. It is roughly estimated that it must weigh several thousand at least.

It is already very strange for such a huge monster to appear in such a dark underground river. How could it hide inside that huge underwater stalagmite?

"Could it be..." Soon, Shen Chen suddenly thought of a possibility, which made his heart beat faster and he was extremely excited.

A normal black stone fish is about half a foot at most, but the king fish has grown to that level, which is obviously unreasonable, unless... it ate some kind of heaven and earth spirit!

And at the bottom of this dark and boundless underground river, there seems to be only one kind of spiritual creature in the world that can exert that kind of power.

"Could it be that the hollow interior of the huge stalagmite really has the black crystals of the veins?" Shen Chen trembled excitedly. Although he found the debris left by the black crystals of the veins around the stalagmite before, that didn't mean that the nearby There must be black crystals in the veins.

Shen Chen once saw an ancient text in an ancient book at home, which said that "everyone with heaven and earth spirits has a spirit, and they will independently search for the evolution of the spiritual roots between heaven and earth", this passage clearly mentioned the heaven and earth spirits It is not where it is conceived, and then it will evolve there for a lifetime, but with the help of some magical power, it will spontaneously find the "spring eye" full of spiritual energy, which is the so-called spiritual root.

Since the black crystal of the earth veins has a first-class first-class rank among the spirits of heaven and earth, there is no doubt that it must also have the kind of divine ability to spontaneously search for spiritual roots. Shen Chen has heard people say that it is usually possible to find Nine out of ten hiding places for spiritual objects are abandoned "Ning Ruins", that is, places where the spiritual roots have been exhausted in the world's population. Although some remaining treasures can be found, it is no longer possible to find real treasures.

So, just before, Shen Chen didn't dare to be 100% sure whether there was really a black crystal of the earth vein nearby, at most he could only be sure that there must be a black crystal of the earth vein in the stalagmite.

But it's different now, that king fish grows so huge, it's obviously far beyond the limit of a normal black stone fish, if that big guy hasn't swallowed some kind of strange thing, probably no one will believe it.

Thinking of this, Shen Chen couldn't help but feel a little itchy. It stands to reason that it would be better for him to run away at this moment. The big guy who can swing hundreds of thousands of catties with a casual movement is definitely not something he can beat, and rushing up is not enough The fish king stuck his teeth between them.

But when he thought that the stalagmite might contain the supreme spiritual object, the earth vein black crystal, Shen Chen couldn't walk. Knowing that rushing out would kill him, he was still a little ready to move, and he didn't want to let go easily!
"It's a headache..." Shen Chen was entangled, because he was born as a gangster, he was never a magnanimous person, and he was not on the same path as his senior brother Qi Zheng, so he missed such an opportunity, and he will think about it later , Shen Chen was afraid that he would hit the wall.

On the other side, after wandering around the entrance of the cave for a few weeks, the king fish had already receded when he saw that he couldn't help him.

But what made Shen Chen's heart thumping was that the fish king didn't seem to return to the stalagmite, but swam towards the top of the natural stone chamber. There is also a huge round mouth, the inside is deep and dark, and it is impossible to see where it leads.

"Could it be that big guy went out to look for food, could it be... there is a hole in that round mouth, leading to a certain place..." Shen Chen was gearing up, feeling excited. These two guesses, no matter which one is true It was enough to make him jump up excitedly.

In this way, in the narrow and dark passageway of the cave, Shen Chen waited quietly. Although he was very eager to enter the interior of the stalagmite to find out, he still did not dare to act rashly. Although more than half an hour had passed, the outside was still quiet.

"Could it be that he really swam away?" Shen Chen muttered uncertainly, he did have a bold idea, but he didn't want to take too many risks.

The entrance of this cave passage is about 30 feet away from the huge stalagmite in the water, and then Shen Chen took a rough visual inspection and found that the huge stalagmite was about ten feet high. Before the king came back, he swam nearly a hundred feet in one breath.

During this process, there must be no more accidents, otherwise, when the fish king came to kill, Shen Chen didn't know if he would be as lucky as before and escaped.

"Based on my current swimming speed, if it is one hundred feet, it will take about twenty breaths, plus the time to search for the black crystals in the stalagmites, the whole process can be completed in about half a quarter of an hour... Nima, I just now Why are you staring blankly, if you go out earlier, you've already called back and forth several times!"

Calculating in his heart, Shen Chen became more and more entangled. The time that passed quietly just now was indeed enough for him to go back and forth safely several times, but he is not a fortune teller after all. How could such a thing be predicted in advance? Regret is useless at this moment, and it is in front of him There are only two choices, either take the risk and go out immediately, maybe there is still plenty of time, or take a look and wait for the best time!
But no matter which choice it is, Shen Chen is entangled in various ways. Who can guarantee that the former will not hit the fish king's gun when he goes out this time, and the latter... is even more sad. God knows when is the best time. I can't wait to find out why!
"Nimma, I'm afraid of a hammer, so fight!"

In the end, Shen Chen gritted his teeth, and like a deep mud loach in the cave passage, with a "chuck" sound, bit the bullet and got out.

It's not that Chen Chen is impatient, but that this kind of waiting is really useless, if the fish king comes back later and stays in the stalagmite for a few months, then he really missed the last chance!

Taking advantage of the news that the fish king hadn't returned yet, Shen Chen decided to grit his teeth and take a risk. He paddled cautiously in the water, his swimming speed almost reaching the extreme, and in less than ten breaths, he approached the center of the natural stone chamber again. The huge stalagmite.

After that, Shen Chen didn't hesitate much, followed by the buoyancy of the water to climb to the gap at the top of the stalagmite.

Revisiting the old place in a blink of an eye, Shen Chen couldn't help but still feel apprehensive. The fierce fish king just jumped out from inside without warning. If he hadn't reacted in time, the bottom of the water would have been stained with blood.

The next moment, Shen Chen held his breath, like a landlubber plunged into the stalagmite, time was running out, God knows when that fierce fish king will come back, he must hurry... This stalagmite is really big, The inside is completely hollow, and the surrounding area is as wide as a battle. When Shen Chen entered it, he didn't feel crowded at all.

As the body slowly sank, when it approached the bottom of the stalagmite, there was a trace of faint light emitting from it.

"This..." Shen Chen's heart almost stopped at this moment. In this dark underground river, there will be no light source at all, but at this moment, there is a faint light below, like the morning light in the darkness, say no Shen Chen immediately thought of the legendary heaven and earth spirits with such omens.

However, Shen Chen didn't dare to slow down because of nervousness, on the contrary, he suddenly accelerated the speed of sinking, the more it came to this time, the more he had to move faster, and he must not be dazed by the treasure.

Finally, after getting acquainted with it, Shen Chen sank smoothly to the bottom of the stalagmite. After landing, he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and stretched out his hand towards the place emitting faint light, trying to scrape away the silt and sand in the water. Shi, look what's down there.

Soon, Shen Chen was digging deeper and deeper, and at the same time, his heart became colder and colder, and the touch of his fingers became harder and harder, but there was still no treasure under the sand.

It didn't take long before Shen Chen's fingers could no longer continue digging down. There was obviously a layer of hard rock under the sand, and he seemed to have reached the bottom layer, but the treasure in his fantasy was still missing.

"This..." Shen Chen was stunned at the stalagmite, a little confused, where is the earth vein black crystal, why is there nothing?

Immediately, Shen Chen didn't believe in evil, and simply dropped the sword and long sword, and planed the sand with both hands. In the blink of an eye, a large piece of sand and stone was thrown away at the stalagmite, revealing a layer of rock that exudes a dazzling light. layer!

Looking carefully, it seems that there is a shallow layer of crystalline objects attached to the surface of the rock. Although it is only a shallow layer, it is still crystal clear and gleaming. There is an indescribable spiritual power overflowing, constantly flowing.

At this moment, even the red gold long sword beside Shen Chen was trembling slightly in the water, as if being pulled by some kind of force and resonating!
Shen Chen is convinced that the thing that exudes a faint light must be the legendary black crystal of the earth veins, but it is too thin, even if it is thin, it is impossible to buckle it off, as if it was painted with a thin layer of black paint , It looks like a big piece about a few feet wide, but if they are all condensed together, there may not be as many as a pin.

Such a cool spiritual thing, even if it is the black crystal of the earth's veins, is too difficult to use, and the most tragic thing is, even if Shen Chen has a supernatural power, he can't get rid of such a thin layer, unless a large area Dig out the rocks and slowly refine them in the furnace!
At this moment, Shen Chen felt extremely unwilling, and finally took the risk of losing his life to come here. In the end, it turned out to be such a result. Subconsciously, he gently stroked the thin layer of skin that was so thin that it could be ignored. Earth Vein Heijing suddenly felt a slight jagged bump in his hand, as if he had touched a few shallow ravines on the rock wall.

"Damn it! My God, you're playing tricks on me again!" Shen Chen woke up suddenly, wanting to cry, but he finally knew where the black crystals on the rocks were. The spirit root left on its own, but... was eaten up by that damned black stone fish king.

That fish king was so vicious, he gnawed away the black crystals of the veins here, it can be said that there was not even a slag left, and the gullies on the rock formations were obviously left by the fish king's sharp teeth. Momentum, intending not to let go of even this insignificant thin layer!

In his past and present lives, Shen Chen had never hated a foreign body so much. His teeth itched and he had the urge to vomit blood. He finally encountered such a great opportunity, but in the end... he missed the Supreme among the heaven and earth spirits. Who would it be? I can't stand it!

"Wow wow wow..."

Just as Shen Chen was beating his chest and feeling aggrieved, suddenly, there was a violent splashing sound above his head.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Chen felt a chill rushing over his head. In an instant, his face turned pale, and the anger on his face suddenly froze, replaced by a face that was uglier than crying...
