Chapter Thirty Black Ball
Zheng Feng couldn't help but pause for a moment after entering the cave, he had originally thought that inside the cave would definitely be pitch black and impossible to see one's hand in front of their face. He had planned to rely on his teeth, this free labor force, to 'shine brightly'.
Who would have thought that after entering, they discovered that there were not no living organisms nearby. Only to see that the cave had many fireflies emitting a faint red glow. The dim red light illuminated the entire cave, allowing Zheng Feng to see the situation inside the cave clearly.
Fireflies swirl around the silk clusters hanging from the top of the cave, and then these fireflies emit light to attract prey to stick to the silk clusters. As a result, the top of the cave is covered with a large number of fireflies, making the cave look like a night paradise.
The beautifully woven webs have a more sinister purpose, as fireflies can use the web threads to capture cave glowworms. The eerie red light they emit has an irresistible magical power, and many insects are unable to resist flying towards them, only to fall into the trap. Once these insects get stuck, they cannot escape.
Zheng Feng cautiously looked at the fireflies emitting a faint red glow in the cave, and if he found anything unusual, he would turn around and escape. But it seemed that his worries were unnecessary, as the fireflies did not react strangely to Zheng Feng's arrival. After discovering this, Zheng Feng and Ya continued to move forward slowly once again.
As the cave went deeper, the number of fireflies became less and less, but the red glow inside the cave did not weaken, instead, it made Zheng Feng feel a little stronger. Soon this point was confirmed, now Zheng Feng's location no longer had fireflies, but that faint red glow still illuminated the entire cave, and as he looked around, the deeper he went, the more intense the red light became.
The seemingly harmless environment did not make Zheng Feng relax, his pace forward, neither accelerated nor slowed down, maintaining a calm and peaceful attitude.
The cave wasn't as deep as Zheng Feng had imagined, and after walking for over ten minutes, he found a turning point where the red glow was coming from. He focused his attention on the corner, slowing down his pace in case something unexpected happened.
The tooth had already jumped back onto Zheng Feng's shoulder without knowing when.
"Meow!!!!! ......... Meow!!!!! ........ ~\(≧▽≦)/~"
The sound of his teeth was filled with excitement, urging Zheng Feng to hurry up and turn around that corner.
Zheng Feng heard the excited shouting of Ya, he knew that turning around that corner would be their destination.
He let out a soft sigh and slowly turned the corner.
......
At this time, Zheng Feng's mind was thinking of
"My god!!! What kind of soul beast is this!!!"
Zheng Feng gazed at the magnificent scene before him, deeply entranced. What Zheng Feng saw was not a living Soul Beast, but rather the skeletal remains of a gigantic Soul Beast after its death. Compared to the body size of the Sharp-Toothed Crocodile King he had seen earlier, it was not even as big as a child.
The body length of the giant soul beast is at least over 58 meters, and if you add that long tail bone, the body length is even more exaggerated.
Only the skeleton was curled up and lying down, with its long tailbone wrapped around its body. On its back, a pair of giant bone wings were slightly open. The skeleton that shouldn't have been able to maintain this posture didn't scatter on the ground, as if there was a mysterious force supporting it to keep its crouching dynamics.
Every single bone emitted a burst of crimson light, and the faint red glow in the cave came from this.
After careful observation, Zheng Feng thought that the skeleton might be the legendary giant dragon, because apart from the giant dragon, he couldn't think of any other soul beast with such a massive body.
Although it was only a skeleton, Zheng Feng seemed to see its former majesty from the bones. If this giant soul beast were still alive, Zheng Feng would not be standing here admiring it, but would have fled long ago.
Just as Zheng Feng was marveling at the enormous and mysterious skeleton, his teeth suddenly jumped off his shoulder and charged forward.
Zheng Feng saw the action of the teeth and ran over without any vigilance. Although this was just a huge soul beast skeleton, who knew what level this soul beast was when it was alive? He had heard people say that some powerful soul beasts would leave behind great power after death, and if one wasn't careful, they could trigger an explosion of these powers. With his current strength, he wouldn't even have ten lives to spare!
Zheng Feng thought Ya's behavior was too impulsive and hastily shouted: "Ya!! Come back quickly!!!"
He walked away as if he hadn't heard, without looking back, directly passing under the skeleton's feet, rushing to another corner, not even giving the skeleton a glance, choosing to ignore it.
Zheng Feng saw the tooth and didn't care about the skeleton, let out a sigh of relief, and muttered in a low voice: "Eh? Tooth, what's it doing?! I thought it was going to touch that skeleton."
He quickly walked around from the side of the huge skeleton too, Zheng Feng didn't dare to pass directly under the skeleton like Ya did.
When Zheng Feng walked past the skeleton, he didn't notice that the skeleton seemed to be shaking with anger after being ignored by a cat for the first time and then by a person for the second time.
When I arrived at the side of the teeth, I found that there was a pile of bones here. This pile of bones did not have any light, but was black and crystal clear, but compared to the blood-colored skeleton next to it, it was much inferior. Moreover, now that the teeth had been turned upside down, it was no longer possible to distinguish what shape the soul beast originally was.
Seeing the search for the body being so 'atrocious', Zheng Feng shook his head in dismay and sighed, "I really don't know who taught you!"
Excited Xiaoyi finally stopped searching for corpses and found some treasure. Standing on top of it, he shouted at Zheng Feng: "Meow!!!"
Zheng Feng looked at Ya Qi riding on a black sphere about the same size as himself, with his four limbs tightly hugging the black ball and shaking back and forth. He couldn't help but feel amused and asked: "Is this the treasure you were looking for?"
"Meow (^o^) / YES!"
Zheng Feng's affirmative answer only made him more curious. The black ball didn't seem to have anything special, so how could it attract Ya from such a far distance?
Zheng Feng held the tooth and black ball together with both hands, immediately feeling a strong beast soul power contained within the black ball. His eyes stared straight at the black ball, exclaiming in surprise: "This is Beast Crystal!!!" After saying that, he also took out two more Beast Crystals from his pocket to compare them.
It's really true; it's not scary if you don't know about it, but once you find out, it's terrifying.
His two beast crystals were only the size of ping-pong balls, but he originally thought that his two beast crystals were slightly larger than the ordinary dragon eye-sized magic beast crystals. However, compared to that black ball, they seemed too small.
The diameter of the black ball is almost the same as that of the tooth, and it's even a bit larger. Although the tooth still maintains its small size, it's now about the size of a palm, so you can imagine how big the black ball is.
"What level of Soul Beast Crystal is this?"
Zheng Feng didn't have a 'culture', but he also knew that this beast crystal definitely wouldn't be a magic beast crystal. Could it be a fierce beast crystal? A mad beast crystal? A spiritual beast crystal? Or perhaps an illusory beast crystal? Since he couldn't figure it out, he temporarily stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the beast crystal was in his hands now, and sooner or later, he would be able to determine its level. He wasn't in a hurry.
Instead, Ya looked puzzled and asked: "Ya, how did you know there was a beast crystal here?"
"Meow~ (⊙_⊙)? Meow~ meow~ ╮(╯▽╰)╭."
The sound of teeth calling reached Zheng Feng's ears and became "I don't know why either. Anyway, there is a feeling that there are good things here!"
Zheng Feng heard what Ya said and didn't ask any more questions. From the beginning, he had always felt that the huge skeleton next to him was a bit off, it's best to leave here quickly.
Zheng Feng hugged Ya and Hei Qiu, wanting to leave the cave, but as they passed by the skeleton, a solemn voice came from all around.
"How insignificant humanity is!!!!!!"
