If he devoured a level-10 magical crystal, he would obtain the energy of a level-10 magical crystal. If he devoured a Legendary-level magical crystal, the mana he would obtain would not be discounted at all.
Lin Li had actually obtained quite a number of high-level magical crystals during this adventure, especially when he had asked Norfeller to pick up a bunch of level-17 and level-18 magical crystals. Besides, even without the rewards from this adventure, he did not lack magical crystals in his ring. However, there were many other things that he needed to use them for.
Just the Dragon Crystal of the Dragon of Destruction that he carried with him was already a huge consumption of magical crystals. It was not an easy task to hatch the Dragon of Destruction. In addition to using mental strength to infiltrate the crystal, mana was naturally indispensable. He would need more than 100 Legendary magical crystals.
Well, even if the matter of hatching the dragon crystal of the Dragon of Destruction could be delayed, there was still one thing that he had to consider. When Lin Li came to the Haiga Mountain Range, he had already sent someone to the Dwarf Kingdom to purchase Magical Crystal Cannons, which consumed a lot of magical crystals. A level-15 magical crystal could at most be used for a few rounds of cannon fire, and a Magical Crystal Cannon was not much. However, Lin Li wanted more than 20 of them. Even a Legendary magical crystal would not be able to withstand a few rounds of cannon fire. Besides, Lin Li also planned to build the legendary Sky-breaker for the Tower of Dusk, which was a powerful magical weapon that could even shoot down a Sky Castle. Hence, it definitely needed a lot of magical crystals.
He couldn't possibly buy and install the Magical Crystal Cannons without enough magical crystals. If they failed to fire after two rounds, wouldn't they become mere decorations? The cataclysm that Geresco had prophesied was getting closer and closer. Before that, Lin Li had to store enough magical crystals for the Magical Crystal Cannons. Otherwise, how could he ensure that the Tower of Dusk would not fall during the cataclysm?
Lin Li took out a level-10 magical crystal from his ring, and waved it at the baby Elemental Wyrm that was pretending to be pitiful. "Here, this is for you."
However, the baby Elemental Wyrm was obviously not that easy to fool. It did not care about the level-10 magical crystal at all, and instead covered its belly with its two front claws before falling to the ground and continuing to wail and roll around.
Damn it, a level-10 magical crystal is no longer a magical crystal. Lin Li had no choice but to take out a level-15 magical crystal from his ring gloomily.
"Swoosh." A cool breeze brushed past Lin Li's hand, and the baby Elemental Wyrm was already hugging two magical crystals while gnawing on them. It slowly flew towards the depths of the crack while wagging its tail happily behind it.
The level-15 magical crystal was gone just like that. Although Lin Li was rich now, he could not help but feel the pinch. However, there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't take advantage of all the good things in the world. He had even drunk the Heart-piercing Potion, which was a precious Guru-level potion. So what if he lost a few more magical crystals?
Just like that, one dragon and one human, one in front and one behind, walked along the narrow crevice and zigzagged into the depths. After walking for a long time, they seemed to be out of the range of the valley, or perhaps they just walked deeper down, and the narrow crevice gradually became wider.
Lin Li suddenly felt his eyes light up, and he finally reached the deepest part of the crevice. He couldn't see how wide it was in the darkness, but there was only a huge spear lying quietly on the dark ground.
If it weren't for the fact that the tip of the spear was pointing at him, Lin Li would never have guessed that it was a spear, because it was so huge that it was no different from a fallen pillar. Besides, the pillar had to be from a large building like a palace.
It was pitch-black all around, and only the huge spear was emitting a faint layer of light, allowing Lin Li to see it clearly. However, the light was very dim, and couldn't even light up a step around the spear. It was like a torch that had lost its flame.
Lin Li didn't know the origin of the huge spear in front of him, who used it, or what kind of history it had. However, he knew that there had to be something unusual about the spear, because he could vaguely sense that there was an extremely large mana wave here.
Lin Li didn't walk in immediately. Even though he was led there by the baby Elemental Wyrm, he still had to be extra careful because of the massive mana wave. Lin Li still had some lingering fear from the previous battle with the Elemental Wyrm's projected avatar. The seemingly endless magic storm was an unforgettable nightmare for anyone who had personally experienced it.
Was there only one giant spear in here? Lin Li wasn't too sure. He wasn't a masochist, and it would be troublesome if there was another powerful guy like the Elemental Wyrm's projected avatar. He waved the Helios' Scepter in his hand and chanted two notes softly. First, he released a Mana Detection Spell.
Most of the time, he wouldn't be able to find out the truth based on his own senses. Hence, Lin Li chose to use the Mana Detection Spell. At the very least, he had to know the level of the massive mana wave and where it was coming from. Besides, the Mana Detection Spell was rather discreet, and wouldn't easily attract the attention of the person being detected.
Soon, Lin Li received the feedback from the Mana Detection Spell. While he was surprised, he was also glad that he had been cautious. It was because the concentration of mana here was not inferior to the massive mana summoned by the Elemental Wyrm's projected avatar during the battle with it previously.
Besides, although most of the massive mana came from the giant spear on the ground, there seemed to be another source of mana hidden in the darkness not far from the giant spear.
What exactly was hidden in the darkness? Lin Li became even more cautious, and cast a Life Detection Spell to carefully probe the source of mana hidden in the darkness. Before figuring out the situation, Lin Li didn't dare to use magic to illuminate the place. If a powerful existence were to be awakened, he might have to face another life-and-death battle.
However, the feedback from the Life Detection Spell made Lin Li feel slightly relieved. There didn't seem to be any signs of life here. There wasn't even a single worm, let alone a powerful existence. It was a completely dead place.
A Sphere of Light slowly rose into the sky, and the area illuminated by the light gradually expanded. When Lin Li released the Illumination Spell to illuminate the cave, he realized that the cave was actually extremely wide, as if the belly of a mountain had been hollowed out. What really shocked Lin Li was the existence hidden in the darkness not far from the giant spear.
The Illumination Spell dispelled the darkness in the cave, and the existence hidden in the darkness was revealed under the illumination of the magic. Lin Li didn't even think about it. It turned out to be an extremely large magical beast skeleton hidden in the darkness.
"Damn it, what can grow so big?" Lin Li looked at the huge magical beast skeleton in front of him, but he couldn't think of what kind of magical beast it belonged to.
In Anril, the first thing that came to people's mind at the mention of large magical beasts would be the main characters of various legends, the wyrms that soared in the sky and possessed terrifying power. Among the wyrms, apart from the Elemental Wyrms, the other Crimson Dragons and Black Dragons all had a huge body size that was intimidating.
However, Lin Li was certain that this huge skeleton was definitely not the skeleton of an ancient wyrm even though he hadn't seen it in its entirety. Lin Li's Ring of Endless Storm still contained the entire corpse of the Dragon of Destruction. Among the summoned creatures, the Crimson Dragon was just a dry skeleton. Hence, Lin Li was really no stranger to the skeleton of a wyrm.
The most obvious feature of the skeleton of a wyrm was that the horns on its head would not fall off due to the death of the wyrm, and the wings on its back would also be left with thick wing bones after the body decayed. However, none of that could be seen on the skeleton in front of him. Besides, even when a wyrm died, its skeleton would still have a faint Menace of the Dragon. Now, although there was a faint Menace of the Dragon left on the skeleton, Lin Li could clearly feel that it was not the Menace of the Dragon.
In that case, what kind of magical beast had left this huge skeleton in front of him? Lin Li shook the staff in his hand slightly, and a stream of light shot into the huge skeleton. Using the Time Reversal Spell to identify the age of an item was a must-have magic spell for appraisers. As a Legendary-mage, Lin Li naturally had no difficulty at all in using it.
Lin Li used the Time Reversal Spell on the huge skeleton and the giant spear, and soon obtained the approximate age of the two items. Be it the skeleton or the giant spear, they had both experienced the baptism of tens of millions of years, and were probably from before the Dark Age.
During the prehistoric times, Anril was filled with giant beasts, and even the ancient wyrms were not the largest of that era. During that era, the Elemental Wyrms controlled the four elements, and other prehistoric magical beasts could not use them. Hence, physical strength was especially important for prehistoric magical beasts. Only by possessing a powerful body would one be able to occupy a place in that chaotic world.
Could it be the skeleton of some prehistoric magical beast? Lin Li rubbed his chin and racked his brains to compare the prehistoric magical beasts in his memory with the huge skeleton. Although Lin Li had never seen prehistoric magical beasts with his own eyes, he had never dissected them to study them. However, there were many records of the appearance of some prehistoric magical beasts, and the appearance of a creature often had a lot to do with its skeleton.
For example, during the prehistoric times, there were huge flying magical beasts that were not inferior to wyrms in size. Their beaks, claws, and wings were the most obvious features of birds. Even those who did not specialize in studying bones would be able to tell if it was a bird's skeleton. Lin Li was the first to reject the possibility of a bird's skeleton. In fact, the reason was the same as the wyrm's skeleton. Even if the wings were closed, it should be very obvious.
