Chen Yang never expected that there was a crystal mine at the bottom of this abyss.
"That's great, we have another type of decoration. We can make some pendants or bracelets, which would be nice."
That's about all the effects crystals can have on the microscopic world.
They have a huge gold mine lying around that they're too lazy to develop, so they're even less inclined to develop the crystal mine at the bottom of the abyss, as developing it would be extremely difficult.
Chen Yang packed a few larger pieces to take back with him; that would be enough.
In reality, this would indeed be a rather surprising discovery, but in the micro-world, it's just a small moment of joy.
Chen Yang took out a torch he had made from his chest, then struck it with a flint and steel, and quickly lit it. The light instantly illuminated his surroundings.
At that moment, Chen Yang was stunned.
The surrounding crystals emitted a mesmerizing light under the firelight. The reflections between them caused a large area of crystals to light up, flashing with dazzling light that was almost too much for the eyes to take in.
Such a beautiful scene, coupled with the darkness and coldness of the abyss, possesses an indescribable magnificence and poignant beauty.
Just as Chen Yang was immersed in the beautiful scene brought by the crystal, he suddenly felt a cold and sinister feeling.
Chen Yang pointed the torch behind him and was once again shocked by the scene before him.
A thing thicker than his thigh, and whose length he couldn't see, appeared right in front of him.
Chen Yang was so shocked that he didn't realize the snake was getting close. Fortunately, he sensed the snake's emotions in time.
This was truly the biggest snake he had ever seen. He didn't know what kind it was, or even if such a snake still existed on Earth.
The snake was clearly afraid of the light and the heat from the flames; it flicked its tongue but dared not approach.
Chen Yang's natural inspiration sensed that it only had desires for food and curiosity towards itself.
Snakes are not highly intelligent animals and don't express many emotions.
A snake of this size could easily swallow Chen Yang whole. Snakes are capable of swallowing creatures many times, even ten times, their own size without any problem.
Chen Yang suspected that this snake could easily swallow a baby elephant; the idiom "a snake trying to swallow an elephant" might not apply to this creature.
Chen Yang discovered that the scent of realgar on his body was having some effect. The snake seemed to fear not only fire, but Chen Yang also sensed a sense of disgust in its emotions, which was probably directed at the realgar.
Chen Yang drew his stubborn blade and confronted the snake.
The snake now only has the intention to eat Chen Yang, and Chen Yang's natural spiritual sense cannot communicate with snakes. It's impossible for him to communicate with them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to take any protective measures when he entered Ten Thousand Snake Island; the ten thousand snakes would have accompanied him directly.
The snake kept slithering around Chen Yang. Chen Yang remained vigilant and never exposed his back to it. The snake was very quick to react, and Chen Yang had to be careful, otherwise he would be swallowed whole, which would be very frustrating.
Finally, the snake couldn't hold back any longer and opened its mouth wide to bite Chen Yang.
Chen Yang had noticed long ago that this python was non-venomous, like most pythons, and did not kill its enemies by injecting venom, but by biting and constricting.
The snake attacked quickly, but Chen Yang's reaction speed was even faster. The moment the snake launched its attack, a cold glint flashed across the firelight.
The giant python suddenly let out a terrible howl, then collapsed to the ground, though its body was still rolling around.
It was already dead. Chen Yang's throwing knife had pierced its head through its eye in an instant. The reason it was still moving was because its muscles were moving on their own, no longer being controlled by its brain.
Snakes can sometimes still move a few times even after their skin has been peeled off, let alone when they've just died.
Chen Yang looked at the snake carcass in front of him and was at a loss. How was he supposed to deal with such a big snake?
Taking it back is impossible. This snake weighs at least several hundred pounds, and it's unrealistic to carry it up a cliff. There are so many animals waiting for him to deal with on the cliff, and by the time he climbs back, the snake will probably be rotting.
"This snake gall should be quite good."
In the end, Chen Yang only took the snake gall and the snake skin. It took him quite a while just to skin the snake, and the torch was almost extinguished.
This snake's gallbladder was seven or eight times larger than that of an ordinary snake. If it were used to make medicinal wine, I might not dare to drink it; I'd probably have to carefully control the alcohol content. If this giant python were in a game, it would definitely be a boss-level monster.
Chen Yang rolled up the snakeskin and tied it to his back.
This roll of snakeskin is extremely precious, and the snakeskin is very intact with almost no damage. Chen Yang is quite experienced in skinning snakeskin and tried his best to peel off the skin while minimizing damage.
After skinning the snake, Chen Yang carefully wrapped the snake gallbladder inside the snake skin and then went to find Crystal.
Before the torch went out completely, Chen Yang found several crystals of the best quality. Of course, these were the ones he found most pleasing to the eye, not necessarily the best, and he wasn't an expert in appreciating crystals.
This adventure was still rewarding. More importantly, Chen Yang became more adept at utilizing his lightness of body and his own abilities. He understood how to combine his abilities and, with the right equipment, scaling walls and leaping across rooftops was no longer a difficult task for him.
I'll improve my equipment and practice more in the future so I can float more steadily on the water.
After exploring the area further, Chen Yang discovered two more snakes that Lini wanted.
He also encountered pythons, but none of them were that big.
That python was quite an anomaly; it probably reigns supreme at the bottom of this abyss.
After discovering that there were no more usable resources at the bottom, Chen Yang prepared to go up.
Although his eyes had adapted to the darkness and he could see some animals, he still disliked the dark and damp environment.
He crawled along the wall, feeling his way along it, while simultaneously embedding the stubborn blade into the cliff face.
At first, he was very slow, but as he became more skilled, he became much faster. Even so, Chen Yang did not reach the top before dark.
He found a place to stand on the cliff and exited the micro-world.
Even after leaving the micro-world, in reality, it's still a luxury tour bus traveling on the highway.
He shared his findings with everyone in the group. There were a few people in the group who were always up late and had nothing to do after leaving the micro-world, so they immediately replied to Chen Yang, expressing their anticipation for the snakeskin and crystals he would bring back.
Nowadays, people often wake up in the middle of the night to play the game "Micro World" or do some work. In Micro World, not all players sleep until dawn every day. More people are willing to wake up in the middle of the night and make use of their real-world time.
In any case, the deep sleep in the micro-world has given them enough energy. They can just log out after it gets dark in the micro-world. A day's sleep is actually enough.
After chatting casually with the residents for a few minutes, Chen Yang looked outside.
The nights in Tibet are also incredibly beautiful, with countless stars filling the sky.
