At this moment, Bu Fang was somewhat nervous because he didn't know if there was anything else inside the crystal source.
Under normal circumstances, one of the three crystal sources in a big crystal mine would be solid. Sometimes, if one was unlucky, two crystal sources would be solid.
Now that two crystal sources had already been opened, there was only one crystal source left in this crystal mine. There was a high probability that it was solid, which meant that there was nothing inside it.
If the crystal source didn't contain the ingredient that Bu Fang needed, it would mean that Bu Fang had failed his mission.
Of course, Bu Fang could also cook the Golden Shrimps. However, that creature didn't have any meat on it, so it couldn't be considered an ingredient.
If he had seventeen or eighteen of them, he might be able to make them into a dish. As for one … Forget it.
Crack.
The temperature of the Ten Thousand Bestial Flames was extremely high. It turned into a blade and slowly cut open a corner of the crystal source.
"Hmm?"
As soon as the corner was cut open, Bu Fang's heart palpitated slightly. Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
All of a sudden, numerous sharp steel needles shot out of the Crystal Source.
The speed of the steel needles was extremely fast, and it seemed as if they were tearing through the air. After Bu Fang dodged them, they shot into the wall and pierced through it.
Bu Fang sucked in a breath of cold air. It was fortunate that he had reacted quickly enough. Otherwise, he would have been the one who had been pierced by the steel needles.
What exactly is inside these Crystal Sources?
Bu Fang furrowed his brows and slashed his flaming blade once again, cutting the crystal source into two halves.
To be honest, Bu Fang was quite happy that the crystal source wasn't solid. Of course, that was if he hadn't been ambushed a moment ago.
The crystal source, which had been cut in two, slowly fell to the ground and split into two halves.
The crisp sound resounded throughout the entire cave.
Bu Fang squinted his eyes and looked toward the location where the crystal source had been opened.
Amidst the haziness, Bu Fang seemed to have seen the appearance of a fish.
However, in the next instant, the fish suddenly swelled up as sonic booms resounded.
The densely packed steel needles shot out once again.
Bu Fang's mind flickered, and the Black Turtle Constellation Wok appeared. With a slight flick, it blocked all the steel needles.
After the crisp tinkling sound disappeared.
The true energy beneath Bu Fang's feet suddenly burst forth, and his whole body dashed out at high speed.
He had already seen what the fish looked like. Strictly speaking, it was indeed a fish.
However, Bu Fang hadn't expected that such a fish would actually escape from the crystal source.
Green smoke curled up, and the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife appeared in Bu Fang's hand. Twirling the knife, Bu Fang stomped on the ground.
Swish swish swish!!
Another steel spike shot toward Bu Fang. The speed of this steel spike was extremely fast, and it was rapidly magnified in Bu Fang's eyes. This steel spike was entirely white, but its sharp point was suffused with a cold luster that made one's entire body shiver.
Ding!
With a wave of the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, the steel spike was sent flying away.
Bu Fang finally arrived in front of the spirit beast.
This spirit beast was really a fish-type spirit beast. Its eyes rolled around and stared at Bu Fang. Its whole body was covered with numerous patterns. Moreover, when the fish swelled up, its body unexpectedly became plump, and the steel spikes shot out of its body the moment it became plump.
Bu Fang's Meteor Cutting Technique had already reached the Consummate Stage, and with a flash of his knife, the steel needles were all sent flying away.
In the end, he spun the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and hit the fat fish's head, knocking it out.
After being knocked unconscious, the plump fish's body became smaller and smaller, as if it had deflated.
Bu Fang heaved a sigh of relief after knocking the fish out.
"I didn't expect that the last crystal source would contain such a thing. However, to be honest, this guy is an excellent ingredient, and it's indeed very rare."
Bu Fang grabbed the fish's tail and stood up from the ground, sizing up the plump spotted fish in front of him.
This kind of fish had a name that Bu Fang was very familiar with back on Earth — pufferfish.
However, in the Hidden Dragon Continent, it was Bu Fang's first time encountering a pufferfish that could shoot steel needles.
There was no need for Bu Fang to describe how delicious the pufferfish's meat was. Although the pufferfish was extremely poisonous, there were still people who would risk their lives for its delicacy.
"Darkmoon Thorny Pufferfish, a seventh grade spirit beast. It is very difficult to breed and is a rare breed. The Thorny Pufferfish can rapidly condense steel needles under its skin, and every time it inflates its balloon, it will shoot the steel needles out. The steel needles are extremely poisonous, and the poison is so strong that it can even poison a ninth grade Supreme-Being."
When Bu Fang was sizing up the Darkmoon Thorny Pufferfish in front of him, the system's solemn voice resounded in Bu Fang's mind.
Bu Fang furrowed his brows, and he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air after hearing the system's description.
The poison on the steel needles was so strong that it could even poison a Supreme-Being. With so many steel needles in front of him, he would have been poisoned to death if he had been careless and suffered one of them.
As expected of a pufferfish, it was an extremely poisonous creature.
Bu Fang held the pufferfish in his hand, sizing it up as he clicked his tongue in wonder.
There was no doubt that this pufferfish was the ingredient that Bu Fang was looking for.
As he thought of this, Bu Fang couldn't help but become excited.
Bu Fang patted the bulging pufferfish. He was pleasantly surprised.
How delicious was the pufferfish's meat? It was hard for Bu Fang to describe it, but since it was able to make someone disregard the poison and taste it, it was enough to guess how delicious the pufferfish's meat was.
Although the Darkmoon Thorny Pufferfish wasn't a Supreme-Being ingredient, Bu Fang was even happier than if he had obtained a Supreme-Being ingredient.
With a twirl of the kitchen knife in his hand, he took out a porcelain jar from the system's dimensional storage and gently cut the Thorny Pufferfish's neck.
Immediately, the Thorny Pufferfish started to struggle in Bu Fang's hand. It swayed around unceasingly, and dark black blood slowly flowed out.
It dripped into the porcelain jar that Bu Fang had prepared.
After releasing the blood, Bu Fang used the Heavenly Alps Spirit Spring Water to wash the Thorny Pufferfish.
He carefully put away the porcelain jar that contained the Thorny Pufferfish's blood.
The pufferfish's entire body was filled with poison. Its blood and internal organs were extremely toxic, so Bu Fang had to be careful.
The Darkmoon Thorny Pufferfish was a pufferfish from the Hidden Dragon Continent, and its poison was even more potent than the pufferfish from Earth. Even a Supreme-Being expert could poison it, so Bu Fang didn't dare to carelessly touch it.
After putting the cleaned pufferfish into the system's dimensional storage, Bu Fang clapped his hands in satisfaction.
Now wasn't the right time to cook the pufferfish. It would be better to wait until he returned to the Grand Serpentine City.
Crack … Crack …
In the distance, the Supreme Mantis Prawn finally flipped its body over. However, its current figure was in a sorry state. Its carapace was dented by the attacks, and its aura was dispirited.
Bu Fang, who was about to leave, paused for a moment and stared at the Supreme Mantis Prawn for a long time.
Bu Fang wasn't a broad-minded person. Since the Supreme Mantis Prawn had chased him for so long, Bu Fang naturally couldn't just leave like that. Moreover … it would be a pity to waste such a good ingredient.
The Supreme Mantis Prawn, who had a bewildered expression on its face, got up and was still dizzy. All of a sudden, its compound eyes widened, and it felt that the space above it had turned pitch-black.
Boom!
A loud noise resounded, and the entire cave seemed to shake violently.
Bu Fang patted the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, which had become extremely huge, and carefully pulled it out from the ruins.
Underneath it was the Prawn Ancestor, whose carapace was covered in cracks.
The Prawn Ancestor's two sickle-like claws were slightly raised, and its compound eyes stared at Bu Fang.
Boom!
The corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up, and he ruthlessly smashed the wok down again, causing the ground to be covered in cracks.
"Didn't you just want to become an ingredient? You should have said so earlier. You chased me for half a day."
Bu Fang pursed his lips, then raised the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. Underneath it was the Supreme Mantis Prawn, who was on its last breath.
After putting the Supreme Mantis Prawn into the system's dimensional storage, Bu Fang's heart was filled with satisfaction.
He originally thought that he wouldn't be able to get any supreme meat this time, but in the end, he got a Supreme Mantis Prawn that had pestered him endlessly.
It wasn't a loss.
Swoosh.
The golden Mantis Prawn on Bu Fang's shoulder loosened its curled up body, and it laid on Bu Fang's shoulder, still sleeping soundly.
Looking at this tiny thing, Bu Fang expressionlessly turned his head, looking at Blacky, who was lying on the ground in the distance, snoring loudly.
This black dog was sleeping soundly.
Bu Fang could only pick up this black dog, and he directly threw it into the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. He single-handedly held the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, and it could be considered that he had settled this fellow down.
Standing in the pit and looking around, Bu Fang returned the way he came, and he arrived at the crack where he had fallen.
Bu Fang took another look at the cave that was filled with fine crystals. He took a deep breath, and without lingering for too long, he directly rushed into the crevice and sped up.
After Bu Fang left, a crashing sound suddenly came from within the pit.
The crushed rocks were peeled away, and a figure drenched in blood staggered out.
The Oceanic Species' Divine Realm expert was in a sorry state, and his entire body was covered in blood. His blue skin had become even darker.
"Damned humans … Damned black dog! The priest said that the Shrimp Ancestor was among these three crystal sources … It must have been taken away by that black dog. The Shrimp Ancestor is the hope of our Oceanic Species' rise, and we must find him! "
Fresh blood dripped from his mouth, and it unceasingly dripped onto the ground.
However, this Oceanic Species' expert wasn't a fool. That black dog was able to easily cripple him, and it even killed the Grand Barren Sect's Divine Physique Echelon expert. Its strength was definitely not limited to breaking through one of the Supreme-Being's shackles.
He wasn't a match for that black dog, and he needed to return to the Oceanic Species' camp to look for reinforcements.
Cough cough … He coughed out another mouthful of blood, and his aura became even more dispirited. He staggered into the distance.
…
Outside the mine, the various factions were facing off against each other.
The ice-cold metallic warship floated in the air, and it emitted a surging pressure. The Oceanic Species' experts, Wu Mu, and the others felt an enormous pressure.
They really wanted to enter the mine, but they knew how dangerous it was inside.
Moreover, the two Divine Physique Echelon existences had already entered the mine, and they wouldn't be able to obtain any good items. Thus, Wu Mu and the Serpentine Sovereign didn't move, and they only faced off against the warship and the Oceanic Species' experts.
All of a sudden, the clear sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the mine.
The sound of these footsteps caused the already tense atmosphere to become tense.
Everyone's gazes landed on the entrance of the cave.
This was especially the case for the Oceanic Species' experts and the Grand Barren Sect's experts.
Who would come out of the mine? Who would reap the benefits?
Everyone was extremely curious.
After all, both sides had Divine Physique Echelon experts. Could it be that the seventh grade Battle-Saint, who was chased into the mine by the Supreme Mantis Prawn, would come out again?
Many people couldn't help but sneer as they recalled the seventh grade Battle-Saint who had rushed into the mine in a panic.
"He came out!"
It was unknown who shouted, but everyone's gaze immediately fell upon the entrance of the mine.
At the same time, a slender and thin figure slowly walked out of the mine.
