Chapter 50 Black Stone
Chapter 50 Black Stone
coming.
Li Qian didn't make any move.
A shadow of a bell glowed faintly in his mind, restraining all his aura.
At this moment, he was like a standing sculpture.
The three miners began to move around restlessly.
Although they could not hear any movement underground, they inexplicably felt a creepy sense of fear.
This is a living thing's instinct to face unknown danger.
suddenly.
About ten feet away from the three miners, the ground shook violently, followed by splashing gravel and dirt. A black shadow emerged from the ground and pounced on the three miners.
Li Qian took a closer look and saw that it was a creature that looked like a giant python. Its body was made up of rings like an elastic spring. It was black all over and covered with hairs that looked like steel needles.
The open mouth was filled with a circle of sharp teeth.
"Earth dragon. Earthworm, what a thing! It can grow so big."
It was the first time that Li Qian saw a living alien insect, which was transformed from an earthworm.
Judging from the appearance alone, it might be as thick as a bucket.
The part that broke out was several meters long, and it was unknown how long it was underground.
With the help of the faint light in the mine, the three miners could barely see a dark shadow. Coupled with the roar of the earth dragon insect when it pounced out, they were immediately frightened and began to run around.
call out!
A sword light suddenly appeared.
It illuminated the entire mine.
It was Li Qian who took action.
Although he was a little shocked by the size and ferocity of this earth dragon insect.
But he was not slow at all.
As his figure flashed, the sword shook, and the sharp sword light flickered.
The earth dragon insect roared and its body suddenly shrank, actually abandoning the three miners. Its body, which was originally four or five meters long, suddenly shrank back to most of its original length.
This reaction speed is extremely amazing.
No wonder Ling Xingfeng and his men might not be able to intercept this earth dragon insect even if they saw it.
But Li Qian's target was not the exposed part of the earth dragon.
His powerful phantom-level martial will was released back, penetrating into the ground and locking down the entire earth dragon.
This earth dragon is more than ten meters long.
The size is amazing.
The next moment, Li Qian stabbed down with his sword.
The tough ground of the mine was like tofu in front of the sharp sword light.
hiss!
The earth dragon insect roared angrily and struggled violently. The entire mine began to shake and the ground cracked.
Li Qian's eyes were sharp. He slashed with his sword, and the sword light split the entire earth dragon insect into two.
A large amount of black blood gushed out and seeped into the ground, filling the entire mine with a fishy and unpleasant smell.
The earth dragon insect that was split into two struggled for a long time before finally stopping moving.
Li Qian had no intention of capturing the earth dragon insect alive.
Too much trouble.
Kill directly, cleanly and efficiently.
However, this Earth Dragon is not as strong as imagined, and is even a little weak.
"Hey, this is it?"
Li Qian used his spiritual perception to find that there seemed to be a very special mineral hidden inside the two halves of the Earth Dragon Insect's body.
He waved his hand, and the surging true energy blew away the cracked ground, pulling the two more than ten-meter-long halves of the earth dragon insect's body directly out from the collapsed underground.
Then he grabbed a longan-sized stone from the black blood.
This stone is also black.
If it weren't for his spiritual perception, the black stone would not be visible in the sticky black blood with the naked eye.
In his spiritual perception, this black stone seemed to release a very special energy at all times. Although it was very weak, he could still sense it clearly.
This energy is different from the vital energy of heaven and earth.
He didn't dare to absorb it.
Because he was not sure whether this energy was beneficial or harmful?
Fortunately, he had mastered the Immaculate Sword Body, which had the property of no leakage. As long as he did not actively absorb it, he would not be disturbed or infected by this energy. After cleaning the black blood on the black stone, Li Qian took a look and put the black stone in his arms, intending to take it back for careful study. Perhaps the knowledgeable master could know the origin of the black stone.
However, he speculated that the reason why this earth dragon insect was able to mutate might be related to this black stone.
Then he looked at the three miners.
The three of them huddled in a corner of the mine, shivering.
"Don't worry, I have already cleared out the Earth Dragon Insects."
Li Qian calmed the three miners' fear.
After the three miners lit the torches tremblingly, they saw the huge earth dragon insect being split in half. Besides being frightened, they were even more in awe of Li Qian, the master who killed the earth dragon insect.
Just like that, with three miners holding torches behind them, Li Qian carried a sword on his back, dragged half of the body of an earth dragon insect in one hand, and walked towards the nearest mine exit.
Outside the mine.
A group of people are waiting.
In addition to Manager He, Ling Xingfeng and several other inner disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, the head of the Ming family, the owner of the Xiwu Mine, also rushed over as soon as he heard the news that the Divine Sword Sect had sent a congenital master.
"It's been so long. Will it fail?"
A mine manager couldn't help but say.
Ling Xingfeng didn't say anything.
If even the core disciples of the Xiantian level cannot deal with the earth dragon insects, I'm afraid only the elders of the sect will have to take action personally.
Once this gets out, I'm afraid the other martial arts sects will laugh their heads off.
Manager He glared at the man.
The man immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up, but he became uneasy inside.
Suddenly, Ling Xingfeng seemed to hear something, and his body flashed and came to the entrance of the cave.
The other inner disciples of the Divine Sword Sect finally reacted.
While Manager He and others were still in a daze, they heard some movement at the cave entrance, and then Li Qian came out dragging the two halves of the corpse of the Earth Dragon Insect.
"Master, look, Master Li has killed the Earth Dragon."
Manager He was extremely surprised when he saw the two halves of the horrifying corpse of the earth dragon insect.
The head of the Ming family was also very happy.
Now that the earth dragon insects have been dealt with, the Xiwu Mine can resume operation.
The head of the Ming family immediately ran up and bowed to Li Qian, saying, "Master Li Wu, I am Ming Rang, the head of the Ming family. Thank you for eliminating this great threat to the mine."
"Master Ming, there's no need to be so polite. I accepted the mission, and that's my duty."
Li Qian said with a chuckle.
Then he looked at Ling Xingfeng, "Junior Brother Ling, I'd like to trouble you to return the corpse of this Earth Dragon Insect to the sect."
The corpse of this earth dragon insect is too large and heavy.
It would be very troublesome for him to bring it back personally.
And the fishy smell is too pungent.
"Please rest assured, Senior Brother Li, I will arrange it as soon as possible."
Ling Xingfeng said quickly.
He is an inner sect disciple of the Divine Sword Sect stationed in Yecheng. The transportation of important materials for the sect is the responsibility of these inner sect disciples.
"Master Ming, since the Earth Dragons and Insects have been cleared, I will not stay any longer."
Li Qian bowed.
It would only take a little over a day to rush back to the Divine Sword Gate on a fast horse, which meant that this mission would not be delayed more than three days.
"Master Li Wu, you have come from afar to help us solve such a big problem. We have not yet treated you well."
Ming Rang, the head of the Ming family, said hurriedly.
This is a great opportunity to establish a good relationship with a promising core disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, so it certainly cannot be missed.
"Master Ming, that's not necessary."
Li Qian waved his hands. How could he not hear what the head of the Ming family was thinking?
He didn't want to waste his time on these useless social engagements.
The right thing to do is to go back and ring the bell to practice.
He was just a little bit away from breaking through to the late stage of the Innate Qi Realm.
Moreover, he really wanted to know what that black stone was?
