Chapter 583: Comfortable Nest
If Si Shuo hadn't replicated the crystal, the demand for spiritual energy would have been huge. When the spiritual energy was replenished, it would have been difficult to distinguish between the spiritual energy generated by the heaven and earth and the spiritual energy that overflowed from the crystal mine.
Especially the closer they got, the more spiritual energy seemed to be drawn from those gaps, which allowed Ji Liang to find this place.
Wei Ce quickly found the crack and felt the spiritual energy getting thicker and thicker. It was a pity that the mouse hole was only close to the crack of the stone, and the concentration of spiritual energy that came out was atomized into drops! He couldn't help but shuddered with excitement.
"What's wrong with Brother Ce? Is it because he has consumed too much mental energy?" Si Shuo asked softly with concern, but was afraid of disturbing him.
Wei Ce slowly opened his eyes, smiled and hugged her tightly, "No, I'm just too happy and excited. There is too little spiritual energy outside our forest. There are crystal mines, but everyone hides them and guards them closely, and the scale is not large.
The Yongchang Continent has abundant spiritual energy and many crystal mines. Almost all of them have been guarded by ancestors from generation to generation, and new discoveries are rarely made.
We are lucky, the crystal mine below is probably quite large."
Si Shuo looked at him with joy and curiosity, "Brother Ce, how do you know that this crystal mine is quite large?"
"The concentration of spiritual energy leaking out from the gap alone is enough to prove this point, and I seem to have detected the crystal marrow." Wei Ze explained patiently.
Ji Liang also added: "When a crystal mine has crystal marrow, it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to produce crystals. When the crystal reaches a certain level, it can give birth to crystal marrow... The crystal marrow is of high purity and has an extremely powerful effect. Although it cannot bring the dead back to life, it can easily awaken an orc without superpowers.
Therefore, any family, tribe or country that controls the crystal mines can create a group of highly gifted beast soldiers!"
Si Shuo suddenly realized, "That is to say, the high-level orcs in Yongchang Continent may have taken elixirs made from crystal marrow, which allowed them to cultivate three or four levels higher than the orcs in our forest?"
Ji Liang nodded, "Yes, the concentration of spiritual energy in Yongchang Continent is high. Ordinary orcs with special abilities are only one or two levels higher than ours. Those who are higher are all those who have great opportunities or good family backgrounds."
After all, it is because the resources outside the forest are too scarce, which limits the awakening and upgrading of the orcs' superpowers.
A few people sighed slightly and immediately turned their attention back to the crystal mine under their feet.
Wei Ce whispered, "Sister Shuo, we don't have the ability to protect this crystal mine now. Large-scale mining will only expose the ore."
Ji Liang also frowned and said, "Forget about large-scale mining. Even if we dig a small hole in the stone wall and the spiritual energy leaks out, I'm afraid it will be captured by those crazy people looking for mineral deposits."
The crystal mine is a treasure beyond measure, enough for the Beast King to mobilize the entire country to conquer and plunder it.
Si Shuo looked solemn. She had been targeted by many people because of the beast seal incident. If it was revealed that she owned a crystal mine, then her family and even the Iron-eating Beast Tribe would be just one step away from destruction.
"Then let's not mine. Let Xiao Cheng take me to turn into a mouse or a snake and go in. Stick to the cracks to absorb spiritual energy and replicate the crystal!" Si Shuo chuckled and said, "Anyway, I will replicate the 17th-level attributeless crystal. Such a large crystal mine, no matter what its attributes are, our whole family can use it, and there are fewer impurities.
In the future, when I replicate something, I won’t have to make such a big fuss. I have to move to another place to replicate a crystal stone.”
Ji Liang and Wei Ce looked at each other and both felt that they were wrong. They only thought about how to avoid the crowd to dig crystal mines, but they didn't expect that the little female only wanted to find a replica of her comfortable nest.
No matter who has such a huge fortune, they will not be blinded by it. If they don't want others to know, they had better not do anything. They almost took the risk.
I didn’t expect that the little female would only have this request.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say," Ji Liang put his arm around her shoulders in surprise.
Si Shuo pursed his lips and smiled, "Not only Xiao Cheng and I, you can also take turns. I heard that practicing in a place with a high concentration of spiritual energy can also nourish and improve your talent little by little!"
Her eyes sparkled even brighter when she said this. "Why don't we leave one person in the guest cave to keep watch, and all the others shrink down and practice underground. The winter season is very long, so we can practice here and amaze everyone in the spring next year!"
Neither of them knew what was going on in the little female's head. Since the crystal mine couldn't be moved away, they moved in, and they wished they could make it their home.
Thinking this way, they didn't want to waste any time. After returning to the cave, Ji Liang briefly explained the matter in a few words.
Zhile raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I have the ability to clone myself, so let me guard it! This way I can practice while monitoring the situation here, without delaying either."
They must have activated the Law of Time, as males have a longer lifespan than females. No male was willing to stay outside to monitor for a whole night, while the little female spent ten days in the Law of Time.
"Brother, you are really our brother," Xiao Cheng praised generously.
Si Shuo also nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "My Zhile is so virtuous!" Then she leaned close to Zhile's ear.
Zhile's ears turned red. He rubbed Si Shuo's hair and set up a protective shield knowingly to make it convenient for him to whisper to her.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Each of us can do the work of two or three people, so there will naturally be rewards..."
Zhi Le held her waist and leaned over to ask for a reward. His enthusiasm was just like the first time they met, which always made her unable to resist, and she felt happy and shy! Zhi Zhan stayed, and the family was taken to the crystal mine mountain range by Ji Liang again.
Wei Ce dug out the mouse hole hidden in the tree roots, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Cheng: "Brother, you have worked hard, you can explore the way for us."
Xiao Cheng's mouth twitched, he glanced at Si Shuo and sighed. He thought he was so handsome and suave, but now he had to take on an important task and hide in a rat hole. It really ruined his wisdom.
But he was so happy to be able to make a small contribution to the family that he immediately turned into the hamster that Si Shuo had turned his baby into before! Si Shuo's eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but squat down and poke Xiao Cheng's head with his finger.
Xiao Cheng rubbed her fingers, and under the sour gazes of his brothers, he waved his claws at the little female reluctantly, jumped into the rat hole resolutely, and began to rub and chase Weice's spiritual power.
This rat hole was so winding that Xiao Cheng almost got dizzy. He then went to the place with the strongest concentration of spiritual energy.
When he reached the innermost part of the cave, he found that this was the widest place, a full square meter!
The cracks in the rocks were filled with green, wood-type spiritual energy, which liquefied into liquid when it touched the top layer of rock, and dripped into a small pool the size of two palms.
Xiao Cheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling a sense of satisfaction and euphoria after reaching the extreme with the little female...
