The poisonous mist gradually dissipated in the sea of fire. After a while, there was no more sound.
Liu Ming narrowed his eyes and shook his sleeves toward the sea of fire. A gust of wind swept past and extinguished all the flames, revealing the two pieces of the scorched centipede corpse on the ground.
He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
This poisonous insect was actually quite resistant to fire. Otherwise, it would have turned into ashes in the sea of fire. How could there be remains left?
But at this moment, with a "sou" sound, the Bone Scorpion that was originally a little listless actually rushed out from his side. Once it reached the side of the centipede's corpse, it used its two front pincers to tear the centipede's corpse and took out two things from it.
A purplish-red meatball and a green crystal stone.
The meatball was only the size of a fist. From time to time, one or two drops of purple liquid dripped from it. When it fell on the ground, it immediately pierced a black hole.
This meatball was the poison sac of the giant centipede.
As for the other green crystal stone, at first glance, it seemed to be a Wood Crystal stone. But after a closer look, one could find that the color of the crystal stone was much thicker and muddier than a normal Wood Crystal stone.
Without waiting for Liu Ming to take a few more looks, the Bone Scorpion opened its mouth and swallowed the entire poison sac into its stomach. Then, it let out a strange cry and the purple poison spots on its body suddenly spread. After its body trembled a few times, it suddenly lay on the ground and stopped moving.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming hurriedly used the psychic technique to communicate with the Bone Scorpion. However, the ghost's consciousness was dizzy and had no reaction at all.
After Liu Ming frowned, he didn't show a panicked expression. His Bone Scorpion was quite intelligent. Since it took the initiative to swallow the poison sac, it should be fine.
However, he was afraid that the Bone Scorpion would be unconscious for a few days. If that was the case, it would be really troublesome.
One had to know that the next ten days were the most critical period. It was very likely that there would be fierce conflicts with the disciples of the other Sect. If he lost Bone Scorpion, this powerful helper, his strength would be reduced by as much as half.
As Liu Ming was thinking, the purple poison on the surface of the White Bone Scorpion's body had already spread to every part of its body. Its front claws loosened and the emerald green crystal that was originally tightly clamped rolled out. At the same time, green gas surged out from its body, wrapping its entire body in an impenetrable manner.
After a moment of hesitation, Liu Ming took a few steps forward and picked up the emerald green crystal. He placed it in front of his eyes and examined it carefully.
At such a close distance, he discovered that there were some silky, milky white things inside the crystal, and they gave off a faint fishy smell.
His mind spun quickly, and he went through all the things recorded in the Encyclopedia of Spiritual Objects, but there was nothing similar.
It seemed that he would have to wait until he got out of here and find someone to identify the spoils of war.
As Liu Ming thought about this, his gaze swept around the cavern a few times before he walked over to a nearby stone wall.
Taking advantage of the fact that the White Bone Scorpion was unable to move, he would first take care of the Wood Crystal Stones and other ores in the cavern. Perhaps there would be other surprises!
One by one, the Wood Crystal Stones were carefully pried out from the stone wall using the cyan short sword. There were at least fifty to sixty of them.
Most of them were the size of a finger, and the largest was only the size of two fists. However, Liu Ming unexpectedly discovered two Middle Tier Spirit Stones, both of which were the size of chicken eggs. Such a large Middle Tier Wood Crystal Stone should be rare even in the outside world. Two of them together should be able to sell for seven or eight Spirit Stones.
However, the other accompanying ores made Liu Ming slightly disappointed. Most of them were miscellaneous ores that were not very valuable.
He only picked a few of the most valuable ones, and was too lazy to even clean up the rest.
After he put away the Wood Crystal Stones and other items with the Sumeru Handkerchief, he glanced at the White Bone Scorpion and discovered that it still did not show any signs of waking up. He immediately shook his head and began to walk around the cavern to see if there were any places that he had overlooked.
After a while, Liu Ming's gaze fell upon the crack that the giant centipede had crawled out from. His heart moved and he immediately walked over. Using his palm to lightly pat the side of the crack, a "dong dong" sound actually came from it.
Liu Ming's eyes lit up. With a shake of his sleeve, the cyan short sword appeared in his hand.
A cold light that was a foot long slashed through the air and fiercely struck the stone wall with a "peng". Immediately, a circular hole that was a few feet wide appeared in front of him.
However, it was completely dark inside, so Liu Ming did not dare to rashly walk in like this.
After muttering an incantation, he flicked his finger and a scarlet red flame shot out. Lightly floating into the black hole, it floated in the air without moving.
The hole was filled with a red light, completely dispersing the darkness!
After Liu Ming saw it clearly, his expression immediately changed. He lowered his head and entered the hole.
The neighboring cavern was only thirty to forty feet wide. However, the ground was covered with piles of white bones and a thick layer of withered grass. In the most gloomy and damp corner, there were surprisingly two large insect eggs that were covered with purple stripes. They were about the size of a fist and emitted an overflowing vitality.
It was obvious that these two insect eggs were left behind by the giant centipede from before.
Seeing this, Liu Ming was overjoyed.
Since the giant centipede from before was so powerful, its insect eggs were most likely not low level. Whether it was incubating and cultivating them or selling them outside, the price would definitely not be low.
He immediately took out a jade box from his body and carefully placed the two insect eggs inside. Then, he used the Sumeru Handkerchief to carefully store them away before examining the bones on the ground.
Unfortunately, they were all bones of low level monsters.
After he did not discover anything else, he retreated.
In the remaining time, Liu Ming found a clean place in the cavern, sat down cross-legged, and quietly waited.
He had already decided that he would wait for the bone scorpion for at most half a day. If the ghost did not wake up, he would first store it in his Cultivating Soul Bag. Finding treasures was more important.
Just like this, time slowly passed.
After about an hour, the green gas on the surface of the bone scorpion began to roll. Moreover, the color quickly changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, it became the same purple color as the poison mist that the giant centipede had spat out.
Seeing that the ground around the mist was slowly melting and turning black, the poison mist's toxicity was not as toxic as the giant centipede's poison mist, but it was not too far off.
This White Bone Scorpion had only swallowed the poison sac of the giant centipede, but it had unexpectedly inherited more than half of the poison mist from the giant centipede.
After a "gu" sound came from within the mist, the purple mist rolled and disappeared without a trace. The White Bone Scorpion once again appeared.
At this time, other than a few dark purple spots on the surface of the ghost's body, everything else was impressively the same as before.
Liu Ming squinted his eyes and suddenly used his mind to communicate with the ghost.
In the next moment, the bone scorpion shook its head and opened its mouth, spitting out a cloud of purple mist at the nearby stone wall.
"Peng!"
The mist rolled out and the stone wall that was covered by it instantly began to corrode and melt layer by layer.
Seeing this, Liu Ming was very satisfied. Without hesitation, he stood up and patted the Cultivating Soul Bag on his waist. A black cloud rolled out and the White Bone Scorpion shrunk and was stored inside.
Afterwards, he made a hand sign with one hand and summoned a gray cloud under his feet. He then slowly flew out of the tunnel that he had dug.
However, when he flew out of the tunnel, he suddenly saw a bloody light flash in front of him. A long, bloody blade was in front of him like lightning, about to cut off his head from his neck.
However, when he flew out, it looked like he didn't have the slightest bit of defense. However, with the cautious habits that he had developed on Savage Island for so many years, the hand that was hidden in his sleeve still instinctively held onto the Cyan Moon Sword totem. Now that he saw this situation, his arm blurred and blocked in front of him with the short sword.
However, when he flew out, it seemed like he didn't have any defense at all. However, after so many years on Savage Island, he had developed a habit of being cautious. His hand, which was hidden in his sleeve, still instinctively held onto the Cyan Moon Sword Totem. Now that he saw this situation, his arm became a blur and he used the short sword to block in front of him.
However, with a "hong" sound, Liu Ming only felt his arms heat up and his body was hit by an unstoppable force. He flew diagonally out of the tunnel and forcibly broke through the tree hole behind him.
Following this, a green light flashed in front of him and seven or eight green wind blades shot out with a sharp sound, wanting to cut him into several pieces in an instant.
If it was any other normal disciple, after receiving such a fierce attack, the Fa Li in their body would be agitated and they wouldn't be able to put up any defense.
However, Liu Ming's expression only changed and with a thought, one of his arms immediately shone with a green light. Dense green threads wildly emerged from his body and interweaved together to form a layer of faint green shadow. At the same time, his body suddenly bent as if it didn't have any bones.
Most of the wind blades were dodged by Liu Ming's inconceivable movements, but there were still three wind blades that hit him. However, after a series of muffled sounds, they all dissipated in a flash.
After Liu Ming's body returned to normal, he lightly landed on the ground a few feet away.
There were a few thin and long wounds on his chest and fresh blood flowed out. Fortunately, the wounds didn't seem to be too deep. The Fa Li in his body only needed to block the wounds and the blood stopped flowing.
At the same time, the layer of faint green shadow on his body finally materialized with a few wild flashes. Impressively, it was an armor made of countless interweaved vines. Although it was extremely simple, it was enough to protect a few of the most fatal spots on his upper body.
At the crucial moment, Liu Ming had activated a Spirit Vine Seed planted on his arm and instantly transformed it into a suit of armor that protected his entire body.
If it weren't for the opponent's sneak attack being too sudden and not allowing the power of the armor to completely materialize, it was likely that these wounds wouldn't have left behind.
However, at this time, Liu Ming's expression was abnormally ugly. A small part of it was because of the convulsive pain from using the Blood Vine Technique. The other half was naturally because of the two people, one male and one female, who had joined hands to sneak attack him.
The male wore a blood red robe and held a blade in one hand. His face was full of killing intent and he looked to be around 27 or 28 years old. The female was wearing the clothing of the Firestorm Way. She had a voluptuous body and a pair of peach blossom eyes. She held a short green ruler in her hand.
Both of their faces were filled with shock. It was obvious that their sneak attack had not been successful. This was something that was out of their expectations.
