[First Update]
Spars were minerals that could replace magic cores, storing pure elemental energy. However, spars were rarely found on the surface, and unlike magic cores, they did not overflow with radioactive energy and could not be detected. The spar vein Salin found in the demon city was impure and required a special refining method to be used.
Real spars could be cut and embedded in magic formations, or directly given to mages for cultivation.
This kind of crystal had already been mined out in the Second Dynasty, and even the coastal areas could not find any mineral deposits. What Nelis saw was a red crystal cave with a diameter of at least three miles.
Nelis trembled. The body of the giant snake was still entrenched in the cave. The temperature of the lava in the cave was very high, but it was more transparent than clear water.
It was not lava, but a liquid condensed from fire elements. Nelis did not know much about magic, and she was too lazy to study. There was no such thing in the Demonic Plane, so she could only ignore this liquid. Because her gaze stopped on a pile of eggs.
This pile of eggs was piled in the center of the cave, not far from the body of the giant snake. Each egg was translucent, more than a foot in diameter, and less than two feet in length. These eggs were arranged in a ring, stacked layer by layer, but the center was full, unlike ordinary magic beasts, which had an empty space in the center of their nest.
Nelis pounced on it, carefully observing with her eyes to make sure there were no signs of life in the eggs. This was good stuff! Eggs of elemental creatures.
Elemental creatures could not give birth to offspring. Only elemental creatures that gave birth to souls would have the ability to reproduce after the soul matured. The soul of the flame snake had not matured yet, so the eggs only had life energy, not a soul.
Even so, the fire elemental energy in the snake eggs was richer than anywhere else in the cave, a hundred times stronger than those red crystals. Nelis thought for a full three minutes, then took out the purple gold sea urchin skin and began to collect the snake eggs.
Other space equipment would lose life energy when the snake eggs were put in. Without life energy, these eggs were just very high level spars. Nelis was in charge of the demon army, and Salin gave her five thousand purple gold sea urchin skins. With Nelis's personality, of course, she did not give them to the demons, but kept most of them with her.
The space inside the purple-gold sea urchin's skin wasn't big, but it could hold the snake eggs without losing their life force.
Nelis moved quickly, afraid that the snake would notice. But after changing the skins of more than ten purple-gold sea urchins, she discovered that the flame snake was slow to react to her eggs.
So that was how it was. Without a soul, the giant snake would not be able to detect being moved. The giant snake was fighting with Salin and had no idea what was happening in the nest. Nelis happily put the snake eggs into the purple-gold leather pouch for protection, and then put them into the dimensional stone.
There was no sign of life in the dimension stone. However, Nelis found a way to store the snake eggs. Using the skin of the purple-gold sea urchin to protect it, the dimensional stone became a place that could accommodate life.
However, he still couldn't put in a lifeform with a soul. These snake eggs were more like water puppets, or even lower in level. Moreover, if these snake eggs developed normally, most of them would not hatch into anything. In the end, their vitality would dissipate and they would turn into a pile of red crystals.
Even if there were snake eggs that could hatch, the things that hatched would probably be low-level elemental creatures that would die once they left this place. Nelis put away the snake eggs in one go and looked at her surroundings. In this huge red cave, there was nothing else other than the snake's body. However, the snake's body was too big. How could she trick it into the Elemental Purgatory?
Nelis thought for a moment before taking out a snake egg and holding it in her hand. The temperature of the snake egg wasn't high, and it was a hundred times lower than the transparent liquid in the red cave. Nelis then opened the 12 Movements of Purgatory. This time, a spatial entrance with a diameter of 30 meters opened. The transparent liquid in the cave directly poured into the Elemental Purgatory. Nelis swam in this elemental torrent with the snake egg in her arms.
The transparent liquid in the red cave quickly poured in, and this time, the flame snake sensed it. Something had happened in its nest. This time, the flame snake was no longer in the mood to attack Salin's water elemental creature. Its huge body retreated into the cave and saw the opening of the 12 Movements of Purgatory at a glance.
When Nelis realized that the snake had returned, she immediately transformed into the Skeleton King and injected the aura of death into the snake egg. The life force in the snake egg was not enough to resist a peak level-nine Skeleton King. In a breath's time, the snake egg died completely and turned into a translucent crystal.
The snake's instincts told it that Nelis was killing its child. Even though the child had no resemblance to it when it hatched, the snake was still angry.
It desperately drilled into the Elemental Purgatory. In the Elemental Purgatory, the space had expanded to more than five kilometers and was filled with the power of the wind element. The influx of the transparent liquid had already caused an elemental storm. The fire and wind elements intensified and erupted with a strong impact. Annihilation occurred again and again in the enclosed space, and then purer wind and fire elements were born.
The flame snake drilled in, and the shadow of the Eye of the Storm even condensed in the sky. The Eye of the Storm was about to be reborn in the Elemental Purgatory. The soulless Eye of the Storm immediately discovered the flame snake with a soul. The Eye of the Storm launched an attack, and a tornado that almost tore apart space wrapped around it. Countless ten-meter-long wind blades spun and erupted with sound waves at the same time. The fire elements almost disintegrated under this attack and were about to turn into wind elements.
The flame snake and the shadow of the Eye of the Storm were entangled and had long lost the ability to attack Nelis. Although it was stronger than the Eye of the Storm, after leaving the red cave, the flame snake's power had decreased by more than ten times. Meanwhile, the Eye of the Storm had begun to familiarize itself with more wind elemental rules in the Elemental Purgatory and was creating a wind elemental space.
The addition of the flame snake had destroyed its efforts to perfect the rules. Without a soul, the Eye of the Storm's body was a shadow, and it acted completely based on instinct. The flame snake had destroyed its plan, so the Eye of the Storm treated the flame snake as its greatest enemy.
Nelis escaped from the Elemental Purgatory. The battle inside was too intense. Before the Elemental Purgatory was perfected, Nelis could not even control it. However, Nelis did not close the Elemental Purgatory. Instead, she let the transparent liquid in the red cave continue to pour in. The magma in the cave above did not pour into the cave. Instead, it was stopped by some kind of force.
In the huge cave, the transparent liquid was gradually sucked into the Elemental Purgatory. The furious two-headed flame snake was still entangled with the Eye of the Storm and did not want to leave at all. The more transparent liquid that entered, the stronger its combat strength became.
Nelis did not expect to trick the flame snake into entering so easily. It seemed like this thing did not have high intelligence and was much easier to deal with than humans.
After the transparent liquid was absorbed, Nelis closed the opening of the 12 Movements of Purgatory and put it away. Salin also brought Nicholas into the cave. Many of his elemental creatures had been damaged, and he had lost four Desolate Ancient Warriors.
Seeing that Nelis was fine, Salin heaved a sigh of relief. Nelis proudly waved the 12 Movements of Purgatory in her hand and said to Salin, "Master, I tricked it into going in."
"Good job!" Salin was also very excited. He was more knowledgeable than Nelis and had already seen everything in this cave.
This was a Red Rock Egg! The entire cave was a huge egg that was born in the vein of the earth, and the flame snake was born in this egg. The red crystals on the cave walls were actually the eggshells of the flame snake.
"Nelis, we're rich!" Salin looked at the cave and was in a good mood. The eggshell of the flame snake was naturally more precious than a crystal mine. Although the reserves of a crystal mine were astonishing, it was difficult to have such pure fire elemental energy.
"Master, but how do we take these away?" Nelis looked at the thick red crystals in a daze. The flame snake had been tricked away and could never return. However, the eggshell of the flame snake was three miles in diameter. Not to mention Salin, even a Magus like Joey could not put such a large object into his spatial equipment.
"Smash!" Salin made a prompt decision and released the Elemental Stone Soldier. He waved his magic warhammer and knocked on the eggshell.
Bang …
The magic warhammer was deformed. The striking side melted, and even the hammer shaft was twisted. Salin hid in the Water Pattern Shield and did not feel it. The temperature in the Red Rock Egg was still very high. Even without the snake, the red crystals could still burn most living creatures to death.
Salin was dumbfounded. It was really frustrating to see such a huge treasure but not be able to take it away.
The Red Rock Egg was equivalent to the purest crystal, and in a battle between mages, fire elemental magic was the most commonly used. Fire elemental magic was very common, and its attack power was the most balanced among the six elements.
Besides, Rex was a mage who was good at fire elemental magic. If she took the shell of the Red Rock Egg back, Rex's cultivation speed would be much faster. Salin had already thought of using the shell of the Red Rock Egg to build a Magic Tower for Rex.
Such equipment was impossible for others. They could only be envious.
But how to deal with these red crystals? Cut with water? Don't joke around. Water would evaporate if it went in. Use the sword of laws? After being cut by the sword of laws, these red crystals would degrade and become ordinary crystals, and their value would be much lower.
Nelis gritted her teeth and took out the gray memory. She had to test it no matter what. The quality of these crystals was too good. They could not be sold. She had to give them to her mages. Nelis did not intend to spit out the giant snake egg she had obtained. To Rex? She would not do it. If it was Silva, perhaps they could discuss it.
