Chapter 426: Magic Crystals (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
At this moment, with the battle finally over, Mayor Jong immediately sent his soldiers inside the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest to start clearing the place and to also finally be able to let the water flow to the Sandy Town once again.
”Remember to carefully take the Sandstone Spider's eggs.” Mayor Jong quickly reminded his soldiers. Aside from the carcasses of the Sandstone Spider tribe and the Cave Lizard tribe, the eggs were also one of the profits they have gained in this fight.
Some soldiers were also assigned to guard the tunnel that the Cave Lizards had created so as to not allow any accident from happening.
Meanwhile, Leo regrouped with Cassandra and the location of the carcass of the Sandstone Lord Spider.
”This thing could give us a lot of benefits once we put it to proper use,” Cassandra said.
”Its legs and teeth can be crafted as weapons, its shell for armor, its innards and other parts of its body could be used to concoct medicines, potions, and supplement, and lastly, its Mana core can be used for cultivation.” Elizabeth said while taking notes inside her mind about the benefits that the Sandstone Lord Spider could give to them.
”We can also cook it as it contains a lot of nutrients that are good for Mages like us,” Angel unexpectedly suggested.
”That's so disgusting, right...?” Veronica can't help expressing her concern with Angel's suggestion.
”Absolutely, not!” Ash shook her head in disagreement. She continued, ”The nutrients that Magical Beast gives to the body of Mages like us can improve our Magic capability, like expanding our Mana capacity, strengthening our bodies, and it also has a small chance of improving our affinity to a specific Element Mana.”
”But...”
”Don't worry, it's alright if you don't want to eat it. No one is going to force you to do something you don't want to do,” Charlotte comforted Veronica.
”I have one question, is spider meat tasty?” Ethan can't help himself from asking.
”I am also curious,” Elaine expressed her curiosity.
”.....”
With that question, everyone started discussing about the taste of spider meat. Except for Leo...
At the side, Leo was checking the carcass of the Sandstone Lord Spider, trying to find its Mana core. He has something he wanted to confirm by finding that Mana core.
After a few minutes, Leo finally dug out the Mana core of the Sandstone Lord Spider, which is unlike any Mana core he has seen.
”Indeed, the Mana core of a Galaxy level Magical Beast is not Mana stone, but rather Magic crystals...” Leo whispered to himself while looking at the Magic Crystal with a color of brown, implying it was an Earth Crystal.
He had already seen and even absorbed an Earth Crystal one time before. It was back then when he was cultivating during their journey to the Southeast Fortress from Twilight Forest after stealing all the Magical resources from the Twilight Bear tribe. So he was able to quickly recognized it.
Magic Crystals were just like Element Orbs, but inferior. They are basically the next level of Mana stones.
The Magic Crystals are separated into two different types, which are Element Crystals and Mana Crystals. Element Crystals are items that contained Element Mana. Like for example, Earth Crystals contained Earth Element Mana, and Water Crystals, which Elaine had mentioned before, contained Water Element Mana. On the other hand, the Mana Crystals, just like what its name suggests, contained Pure Mana only.
Comparing the two, Mana Crystal is actually much better than Element Crystals, because the former doesn't have any restrictions when one is using it.
