Chapter 974: Jumbo Meteorite

An extremely fast meteorite passed in the dark void. However, the high speed did not produce any noise. The whole space had an inanimate and deathly still atmosphere.

Mu Chen and the others quietly sat cross-legged on the meteorite.

The meteorite they were sitting on was not the one they took when they had just arrived. They had changed “rides” three times as they hurried on their journey. However, Mu Chen had some regret since they had not found the Blood Spirit Soil among the three meteorites. Obviously, Mo Feng was correct. It was solely due to Mo Ling’s luck that she had found one.

Nine Nether opened her eyes. Looking at the darkness at the distance she said, “From my expectation, we’re going to approach the Land of the Divine Beasts in about half of a day.”

Mu Chen nodded but kept staring into the distance, glaring at any meteorite that might appear in their surroundings.

Nine Nether could not help but laugh when she saw his actions. “The amount of meteorites will increase gradually as we approach the Land of the Divine Beasts. We may have some reward at that time.”

Mu Chen touched his nose resentfully when he heard this and kept his thoughts to himself.

There were four people riding on the meteorite, passing through the emptiness with high speed. In the remaining journey, they were not going to change any meteorite rides, since the meteorite under their feet was their last ride…

Time was passing quickly in this dark void. After a while, Mu Chen suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and looked to his left.

There seemed to be a fluctuation in the darkness. Soon after, he saw a few meteorites passing through consecutively and rolling into the distance.

Mu Chen’s eyes were sparkling when he saw the meteorites. He gazed at the meteorites but looked away in disappointment after a few moments.

It was because he could not sense any aura of the vital energy and blood in the meteorites. Obviously, there was no presence of Blood Spirit Soil in the meteorites. Although it brought some disappointment, it was not enough to dispel Mu Chen’s expectations. This was because the appearance of these meteorites meant they were approaching the Land of the Divine Beasts, and there would be more and more meteorites appearing at that time.

Mu Chen’s expectation was not wrong. All of the sudden, the silent darkness became lively. Meteorites poured in from all directions and finally swept over in front of them.

At this moment, the four of them could not control themselves anymore. They started to condense spiritual energy in their eyes, not sparing any effort to sense the vital energy and blood contained in the meteorites.

Under the non-stop probing, Mu Chen finally found something for the first time.

It was a gray-black meteorite about a hundred feet in size. Its volume was not too huge, but this did not prevent Mu Chen’s sharp senses from detecting a weak blood ray secretly emitted from the meteorite. It was the smell of the Blood Spirit Soil.

Mu Chen took action right away. He punched out a fist from a distance, and a majestic light of spiritual energy swept out. He broke the 100-foot meteorite with one punch. At the same time that the crushed stone sputtered, a blood ray escaped from it.

Mu Chen slightly curved his palm, and a strong suction force surged out. Suddenly, the blood ray turned backwards and fell directly into Mu Chen’s hand.

He examined his palm. There was a lump of bloody soil as big as a baby’s fist within the fading blood ray. An intense bloody smell emanated from within the lump.

That was exactly the Blood Spirit Soil that Mu Chen was eager to get.

Upon receiving the first Blood Spirit Soil, Mu Chen could not help but have an excited grin on his face. However, he had no time for consuming it to refine his power since there were more meteorites rolling through. Because of the meteorites’ high speed, the group had to use all their effort to sense the presence of Blood Spirit Soil in the meteorites.

Fwoosh! Fwoosh!

The meteorites passed through at high speed, and some of the meteorites were broken by Nine Nether and the others. Although there was not anything in the meteorites most of the time, their effort was not a waste. After the wave of meteorites was crushed, Mu Chen and others had around eight pieces of irregularly-sized Blood Spirit Soil in the end.

“Not bad.”

Nine Nether was quite satisfied with their final loot. Their probability of finding the Blood Spirit Soil was not bad. Generally, it was a common situation to not find any Blood Spirit Soil in over a dozen meteorites.

Mo Feng nodded and distributed the Blood Spirit Soil pieces according to their size, so that the four of them shared it equally.

Grabbing two of the Blood Spirit Soil pieces in his hand, Mu Chen turned them into five Blood Spirit pills with a rub of his fingers before consuming all of them in one gulp.

A boiling hot current emerged in his body again. At that moment, Mu Chen was able to listen to the greedy thirst from his flesh and blood. The burning sensation was just like lava, washing out the blood, the flesh, and the bones in his body…

The strong vital energy and blood contained in the Blood Spirit Soil was indeed the best tonic for the physical body.

The reddish light of vital energy and blood blushed on Mu Chen’s face. It took some time before it gradually disappeared. Mu Chen opened his slightly closed eyes, and a light swept past his pupils. Slowly clenching his fists, he could feel there was a strong energy surging within the flesh and blood of his limbs and bones.

It was the second time he had experienced the power of Blood Spirit Soil, but Mu Chen could not resist being amazed. His expression suddenly changed when he looked up and wanted to say something. Looking into the distance, he stared at the dark void.

It was as though a weak light had appeared in the darkness. It passed through the void and reflected in Mu Chen’s eyes.

“We’re approaching the Land of the Divine Beasts,” Nine Nether said joyfully when she saw the changes.

Mu Chen sighed in relief. The silence was too deadly in this dark void. Thus, they were depressed for every second throughout the journey, even though they were determined and strong people.
