Chapter 272: Stone Monster in the Center of the Cave



Xu Changqing was only in the initial stage of Condensation Realm, his spiritual awareness range was limited, and his strength was far inferior to that of Yi Ming and Bei Xueqing, so they were careful and would certainly not let Xu Changqing notice.

"Tsk tsk, it feels good to have cannon fodder. It makes me feel at ease." Yi Ming sighed softly.

Bei Xueqing and Luo Shi nodded, and they also relaxed a lot.

Xu Changqing was hundreds of meters away from them. Once he encountered danger, whether he suddenly exploded or fled at high speed, Yi Ming would notice it. This time difference was enough for them to react and even decide whether to stay or leave.

Xu Changqing was in front, and Yi Ming and the other two followed behind. They continued to go deeper into this mysterious area where there was nothing.

Xu Changqing in front walked along the way, and although he didn't find anything, his eyes became brighter and brighter as he walked.

Yi Ming nodded, and his spiritual consciousness communicated with the inside and outside of the storage ring, so he could use his flying sword or the spirit gathering cave at any time.

It is said that the divine mulberry dew originally carries a faint vitality and can be used in elixirs. It can also heal wounds and prolong life when taken by monks.

If it wasn't for its relatively open posture, and if it wasn't for the faint breath of life coming from it, no one would have thought it was a living creature, because when it curled up it would be a stone mountain! "It doesn't look like a mutated beast." Bei Xueqing frowned and said, "Could it really be that the stone has become a spirit?"

He pointed to one side of the stone monster and saw a broken stalagmite there. A natural small pit was formed on the broken surface of the stalagmite. In the small pit was a thin layer of Shenmulberry Dew, which was also a mid-grade Xuan-level product.

"Has he reached the central cave?" Yi Ming asked with a blink.

"Oh my god?" Yi Ming's pupils suddenly shrank.

At this point, Luo Shi turned to Yi Ming and asked, "Brother Yi, can you tell the strength of this stone monster?"

This time it was Luo Shi who answered, "Because the heaven and earth are spiritual, if this stone really has intelligence because of the Shensang Dew, then of course it knows the situation of the Shensang Cave, and can sense the threat posed to it by the cultivators entering the Shensang Cave, so collapsing the cave and hiding itself may be its instinctive reaction to protect itself."

That is equivalent to the most powerful late-stage Condensation cultivator.

What? Natural resources and treasures? Don't be ridiculous. Can your natural resources and treasures be piled up into a mountain? "Do you feel that the vitality coming from this stone is very similar to the breath of Shensanglu?" Yi Ming asked with a frown.

They had almost circled the area and were certainly aware of its size.

Bei Xueqing narrowed her eyes. "His aura suddenly fluctuated greatly. What did he discover?"

In the history of Tianwu Continent, there are indeed records of legends of non-living things awakening their spiritual intelligence, but most of them are plants, and occasionally there are heavenly and earth-level treasures, but the pile of stones in front of us obviously do not belong to the above two categories.

He is not a fool, of course he knows that this is not normal, but isn't an abnormal situation exactly what he expected?

At this time, Xu Changqing was slowly floating towards the stalagmite, as if he wanted to quietly take away the divine mulberry dew while the stone monster was sleeping.

Yi Ming and the other two also stopped walking.

In contrast, there is a thing that is several dozen feet in radius, looks like both a human and an animal, but is made entirely of large and small stones, crawling on the ground in a very awkward posture.

Yi Ming nodded and shook his head, "He didn't run away immediately, could it be that he is really a treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Xueqing and Luo Shi hurriedly sensed it carefully, and indeed they sensed the similarities between this vitality and the aura of the divine mulberry dew.

Bei Xueqing nodded, "Very likely."

"That's Yuyang Country's business. What does it have to do with us?" Luo Shi said with a smile, "There's no need for us to help Tai Shang Sect. Let's just take the things and leave."

"Could it be that because this pile of rocks has been soaked in the divine mulberry dew for years, and because of the attraction of vitality, it has evolved into living beings?" Luo Shi asked in surprise.

"It is sleeping right now, hiding itself in the cave. It is very likely that it is crossing the threshold from the Xuan level to the Di level." Bei Xueqing looked at the stone monster. "It has such intelligence and instincts, which means that it actually has the foundation of the Di level. It is a natural progression for it to advance to the Di level."

Yi Ming narrowed his eyes, "Its cultivation is higher than mine, I can only sense it vaguely, but since I can sense it, it means it has not yet advanced to the Earth level, it should be at the top level of the late Xuan level."

"Then why did it collapse the Shensang Cave, or was it just a coincidence?" Yi Ming asked.

"He's speeding up?" Yi Ming raised his eyebrows. Did the other party discover something? "He's almost at the center of this area." Bei Xueqing said lightly, her eyes gradually turning solemn, ready to take action at any time.

At this moment, Xu Changqing's figure suddenly stopped.

"There is light coming through. The one in front is most likely the central cave of this area." Luo Shi said softly, feeling a little nervous.

"I don't know, but even Xu Changqing didn't run away. Let's go over and take a look and then we'll know." Yi Ming said, and then continued to move forward.

As the three of them moved forward, Xu Changqing also began to move slowly. Although he was trying hard to restrain his breath, the gap in strength was obvious after all, and Yi Ming could still sense him easily.

This central cave was not small, at least larger than the caves they had encountered before, with a radius of nearly a thousand feet, a high ceiling and a wide cave. However, unlike other caves, none of the stalactites on the top of the cave and the stalagmites on the ground were intact. They were all broken and scattered everywhere.

"So when he wakes up naturally, that's when he'll be promoted to Earth level." Yi Ming said with a smile, "The Tai Shang Sect only has one Golden Core Patriarch. If this stone monster is promoted to Earth level, then Yu Yang Country will be in big trouble."

"Middle-grade Xuan-level?" Xu Changqing's flying speed became a little faster. "Could it be a high-grade Xuan-level?"

"Is this... a stone becoming a spirit?" Luo Shi also exclaimed in a low voice.

Only in this case, once something good appears, it will definitely be a natural treasure that exceeds the average grade.

"But if it is a rare treasure, why can't we sense it when we are so close?" Luo Shi asked.

"Oh, this magical mulberry dew is more than what we harvested in the lower cave!" Yi Ming's attention was just on the stone monster and he didn't really notice the magical mulberry dew.

After all, it is a deadly thing!

"You guys wait here, I'll go and collect the magical mulberry dew before him." Yi Ming said with a smile.

Except for his enemies, he doesn't like to snatch things from others, but this is fair competition, and Yi Ming doesn't feel any psychological pressure.

Then, just as Yi Ming was about to perform the "Spectral Invisibility Technique" and "Intentionless Escape", the stone monster suddenly moved, and its big head suddenly raised, facing Xu Changqing who was walking in front of it! (End of this chapter)
