Water and fire were the most primitive tools, but the ancients used these primitive weapons to defeat wild beasts and build exclusive territories for humans. Within the water and fire, there was a primordial and powerful force.
Most of the spirit stone mines were located deep underground. Not only were they difficult to detect, but there was also a thick layer of hard rock outside the spirit stone mine. Even an Origin Energy Realm martial artist would find it difficult to break through these rocks. However, this primitive method of burning fire and water could actually break this rock that was as hard as steel. Thinking about it, it was really strange.
As long as it worked.
Although only two square meters of the reef had been split open, Qin Lang felt that the effect was pretty good. It was better than Qin Lang using his astral energy to split open the reef bit by bit. It was unknown how deep this spirit stone mine was. Even if Qin Lang exhausted all his True Qi, he might not be able to dig all the way to the bottom.
Duan Zhangye picked up a piece of broken rock and looked at it carefully. Then, he said to Qin Lang, "Mr. Yin, I really should congratulate you. I'm almost sure — there must be spirit stones below!"
"Don't be happy too early. According to my estimation, the reef below is at least a thousand meters thick. Even if there are spirit stones below, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to get them. At least, it'll be difficult to mine them in a short time using this method. "Qin Lang could almost estimate the depth of the spirit stone mine based on the Spirit Qi fluctuations below.
"What? A thousand meters! "Duan Zhangye gasped. The Duan family's spirit stone mine was only about a hundred meters deep. It was very difficult to mine it, so the Duan family only mined a limited amount of spirit stones every year. The "immortal masters" who came to the Duan family to collect spirit stones would only appear about once every ten years.
The reef here was even harder than the rocks around the Duan family's spirit stone mine. Moreover, it was a thousand meters deep, which was almost impossible to mine.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way." Qin Lang said to Duan Zhangye, "Anyway, at least you've proposed a feasible method. How about this, take these rock samples to the base's laboratory and study them carefully to see if there's any other way. I'll search carefully here to see if there really is a spirit stone mine below. "
Last time, Fire Fox discovered a crack here. This crack had traces of spirit qi seeping out. Later, Qin Lang deliberately poured cement into this crack. At that time, Qin Lang had no way to explore the Spirit Stone Mine below through this crack. However, things were different now. Qin Lang's cultivation realm had improved significantly, and his perception of Spirit Qi was countless times more sensitive than before. Now that he had opened this crack, Qin Lang could completely confirm whether there really was a Spirit Stone mine below.
However, Duan Zhangye's words had already reassured Qin Lang. Qin Lang was now convinced that there should be a Spirit Stone Mine below. If it really was a Spirit Stone Mine, then it would be an unimaginable harvest.
A powerful Spiritual Vein could lay the foundation for a Martial Art Sect. A Spirit Stone Mine could make a Martial Art Sect stronger quickly.
For Qin Lang, the cement that sealed this crack was no different from loose soil. He easily removed the cement, and then the naturally formed crack began to appear in front of Qin Lang. Qin Lang's spiritual force extended along this crack until it reached a depth of more than 1,000 meters.
The deeper his spiritual force went into this crack, the stronger the Spirit Qi fluctuation that Qin Lang felt, indicating that there should indeed be a Spirit Stone Mine below. Finally, Qin Lang's spiritual force reached the bottom of the crack. In this place, the first thing that Qin Lang felt was an extremely strong evil and dark aura. This aura seemed to be completely different from the Spirit Stones that Qin Lang had come into contact with. In the depths of this crack, the Spirit Qi fluctuation was also very strong. However, the Spirit Qi fluctuation here was not pure Spirit Qi, but dark and evil Spirit Qi —
Is the Spirit Qi polluted?
It was the first time that Qin Lang had come into contact with this kind of Spirit Qi. The extremely evil and dark aura was enough to make many people flinch. If someone were to enter such an environment, he or she would immediately fall and become an extremely evil and dark character.
"It seems that the thing below is not a good kind."
Qin Lang retracted his spiritual force. He thought that the thing below was just a Spirit Stone Mine, but now it seemed that his thinking might be too simple. The thing below was not a Spirit Stone Mine, at least not an ordinary Spirit Stone Mine.
Although Qin Lang wanted to explore it, or go down to get something himself, he suppressed these thoughts. Since it was not a good place below, it was better to be careful.
"I'm really confused. Although I can't go down, the bugs can." Qin Lang suddenly patted his head.
Although this crack was very small, it was enough for several Sacred Scar Beetles to go down. These Sacred Scar Beetles had always had good teeth. Perhaps they could get a rock sample for Qin Lang. That way, Qin Lang would know whether the ores below were Spirit Stones or not.
In this way, several Sacred Scar Beetles entered the crack under Qin Lang's command.
Since these Sacred Scar Beetles could gnaw on metal, the reef would not be able to stop them. At the very least, they should be able to reach the bottom of the crack smoothly.
The Sacred Scar Beetles were very fast, and they soon reached the bottom of the crack.
However, at this time, Qin Lang found that these Sacred Scar Beetles began to become extremely manic. They did not even listen to his commands. Then, something unexpected happened.
These Sacred Scar Beetles began a bloody fight with each other. In the end, the larger Sacred Scar Beetle became the winner. Then, this Sacred Scar Beetle began to crawl out of the crack.
The higher it crawled, the bigger the Sacred Scar Beetle became. When it reached a place close to the ground, its size had exceeded the size of an adult's fist. However, this time, the Sacred Scar Beetle suffered a tragedy.
It was stuck at the exit of the crack!
This guy's body had grown several times in such a short time. It was incredible. This made Qin Lang a little puzzled. "Could it be that what's below is not Spirit Stones, but a strong radiation source?"
However, even if it had been exposed to nuclear radiation and mutated, it should not have grown so quickly.
The Sacred Scar Beetle was still struggling. Although its teeth and claws were very sharp, its shell was stuck between the cracks of the rocks. It could not move at all. Its claws and teeth could not be used at all. This made it quite annoyed. All its skills could not be put to use.
This mutated Sacred Scar Beetle kept struggling. Its two small eyes had turned red. It seemed to be in a state of extreme madness. Even Qin Lang's bug flute could not command it.
Are those ores below really Spirit Stones?
If not Spirit Stones, what are they?
