C184 Yuncheng (1/2)
The Magic Cores that he had just dug out emitted a scorching heat, causing Qin Shaojie to have no choice but to temporarily place it on the ground.
At this time, Wen Ya finally came back to the Divine Flame from her previous state of shock. It had to be said that the previous battle was not about fear and trepidation. A discerning person would be able to tell that Qin Shaojie had the absolute advantage, but even so, Wen Ya's heartbeat still could not stop. After all, he was still worried for Qin Shaojie. Fortunately, Qin Shaojie was safe and sound, which allowed him to heave a small sigh of relief.
The number of times the Magic Cores appeared in the Exquisite Auction was not that many. After all, not all beasts had Magic Cores, only those who had absorbed enough heaven and earth essence had such powerful beasts. Otherwise, they would never have been able to give birth to it …
The Magic Cores that Qin Shaojie had scooped out from the spotted tiger was around the size of his palm, it looked like a scalding hot dark red stone from afar. The surroundings of the Magic Cores released a dense amount of profound energy. Other than the fact that they could clearly feel the burning sensation of the Magic Cores, the only thing that remained near the Magic Cores was the comfortable power of the profound energy.
If this kind of Magic Cores was used properly, it would be of great help to a martial artist in their cultivation.
”You seem to know everything.” With a mischievous look, Wen Ya spoke in a low voice. It had to be said that the more time she spent with Qin Shaojie, the more mysterious she felt that Qin Shaojie was. There were many things that Qin Shaojie did not know, even amongst the experts from the older generation in the Holy Flame Academy. However, with Qin Shaojie being able to do it as he pleased, how could Wen Ya not be surprised?
However, Wen Ya was also an intelligent woman, so she naturally knew that there were some things that she shouldn't investigate deeply about. Who doesn't have some secrets? Furthermore,'s intuition told him that this boy who looked three years younger than him was definitely not a bad person.
After he washed off the blood on his body and took out a set of clothes from his spatial ring to change, the stench of blood on Qin Shaojie's body also completely dissipated. The profound strength of the Magic Cores made Qin Shaojie take a deep breath. As expected of a demon beast raised from an ancient ruin, this level of Magic Cores was much more tyrannical than normal third-grade beasts. It was a pity, however, that if this Magic Cores were to reach the fourth grade, it would probably cause a crazy amount and commotion outside.
Of course, a Fourth Rank Beast was not someone that the current Qin Shaojie could mess with, as he was a warrior on the level of Earth Origin Stage. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Qin Shaojie would not easily provoke these fellows.
Putting the Magic Cores into the profound ice core, this was the most effective way to protect the Magic Cores's profound energy from being spread out. After exiting the Ancient Era's Remnants, Qin Shaojie would need to absorb all the profound energy within the Magic Cores before he could sell it and deal with the Magic Cores.
”Be careful, this is only the beginning. The later we enter the ancient ruins, the more dangerous it will be.”
After he finished speaking, Qin Shaojie took a deep breath, then walked out of the valley with Wen Ya.
There didn't seem to be any concept of time within the ancient ruins, and neither did there seem to be any concept of night. As they continued to move forwards, they discovered that there were some places that were bright like the day, some places that were dark like the night, and some places that were dark like the evening. In short, everything was filled with strange phenomena. However, Qin Shaojie was not surprised by this, and was even continuously comforting Wen Ya not to worry.
The only light that could enter the ancient ruins was the light that was projected from the crack. However, this light was too little for the entire ancient ruins, so the light inside the ancient ruins would be randomly distributed to different places, and from then on, there would be this so-called night and day. Presumably, this ancient ruin was the same when it was sealed. It was just that during that period of time, it was possible that he had been stuck in the limelight for a short period of time.
Having Qin Shaojie along the way had also increased their courage by quite a bit, but of course, they had also run into some other magical beasts. Normally, the low levelled beasts such as Qin Shaojie would be left to Wen Ya to handle, while she would be in charge by the side. The more powerful beasts would be dealt with by Qin Shaojie himself. Unfortunately, the beasts he killed later on didn't have as much luck as before, because Qin Shaojie was no longer a beast that gave birth to Magic Cores.
However, along the way, Wen Ya had once again gained a better understanding of Qin Shaojie's strength. In her opinion, even if it was his Spirit Lake Realm in front of Qin Shaojie, they might not be able to achieve a better result. Qin Shaojie smiled but did not reply. He was not really going all out, and the reason why killing beasts was so easy was because Qin Shaojie understood beasts too well. He was very clear about the habits of these magical beasts in his previous life, and he knew where the weaknesses of these magical beasts lay.
Thus, either he would be killed in one move or die from exhaustion. But no matter what method it was, it had no effect on the current Qin Shaojie.
However, it was rare for Wen Ya to let go of her, this kind of life and death battle had allowed her to quickly grow. Regardless of how many outstanding warriors there were, if they didn't experience this kind of situation, then even if their cultivation realm had increased, their combat strength would still be greatly reduced.
As time passed, the two of them had almost reached the end of the valley. As they left the valley, Qin Shaojie and Wen Ya looked at each other with a hint of excitement in their eyes. This was because what appeared before them once more was a castle.
As far as the eye could see, there was no end to the castle. The towering city walls, the style of the ancient castle buildings, as well as the dense number of buildings all made the two's heart jump with joy. If they weren't mistaken, this should be the true core of the ancient ruins.
They had once thought this was a manor, but now it seemed like a huge castle. This meant that the ancient ruins this time would be even larger in size than they had imagined.
”There should be quite a number of people coming in, so let's be more careful.”
Taking a deep breath, Qin Shaojie looked at Wen Ya and said. They must have been sent to the edge of the ancient ruins, that's why they were able to scout their way here. But, this must be the core zone of the ancient ruins, if there were no accidents then everyone else would have rushed here.
Where there were people, there would be fights. Moreover, this time, there were all sorts of people coming in, so they needed to be more careful.
