Chapter 95: Entering the Magic Crystal Mine (2/2)

“Enough with your crap! Fellow cultivators, we are short on time. Hurry up and attack!” Isle Master Five Poisons was the first to attack. With a wave of his hand, he sent a swarm of poisonous bees towards the Purplecloud Sky Grotto cultivators.

Each of those poisonous bees were as big as a fist and their bodies were blood-red in colour. The poisonous stinger on each of their backs was so sharp, it could pierce through a steel plate. The shocking flaps of their wings created burst after burst of rumbling sounds.

“Those are Bloodthirsty Poison Bees. If its stinger strikes, even a Concealed stage cultivator will die from its poison. Although Isle Master Five Poisons is not the strongest amongst the Thirty-six Isle Masters, his ability to deal damage is amongst the highest. We should put some distance between us and him so that we don’t get caught up in his attacks.”

“Attack!”

Grotto Master Thousand Evil mobilized his Thousand Evil Purplesmoke to attack. The intensity of the smoke was even more violent compared to that of the Bloodthirsty Poison Bees. Seeing his actions, the surrounding cultivators held their breaths and closed up all their pores.

“We will hold them first! You two, hurry up and ask the sect for reinforcements!” Two Purplecloud Sky Grotto cultivators quickly moved forward to block the invaders while the other two rushed into the sky. One of them retrieved a jade talisman and crushed it. It was a type of communication jade. The moment it was crushed, Purplecloud Sky Grotto will receive their request for reinforcements.

“Where are you going?!”

A silk net, flashing intensely with golden light, descended from the sky to envelop the two cultivators. The moment the two cultivators were enveloped by the net, they felt their bodies going numb, becoming powerless. The end of the net was connected to the sky, where a cultivator’s palm could be seen. The five fingers on the palm were constantly sending out strands of potent energy, which condensed into the net below.

The silk net was actually not forged from any materials. Rather, all of it was condensed out using the cultivator’s internal energy. The cultivator’s ability to condense out the net immediately stunned all the cultivators there. The same was true for Grotto Master Thousand Evil and Isle Master Five Poisons. There was a serious expression on each of their faces.

“An expert has come!”

“Chance! Charge in!”

Although the cultivators there were shocked by the spectacle, some quickly took advantage of what was happening to charge towards the cave entrance leading into the Magic crystal mine.

“Who are you?” The two remaining Purplecloud Sky Grotto cultivators bellowed. At the same time, two flying swords drew lines across the sky at they shot towards the cultivator with the net.

“Humph! A trifling skill.” With a wave of the cultivator’s hand, another silk net appeared from thin air to wrap the two flying swords up.

By then, Isle Master Five Poisons’ Bloodthirsty Poison Bees had swarmed forward to quickly surround the two Purplecloud Sky Grotto cultivators. A miserable scream rang out as the bodies of the two Concealed stage cultivators rapidly withered. It did not take long for them to become two dried up corpses, not a trace of life remaining on them. In but moments, the Bloodthirsty Poison Bees had sucked up all of their blood essence.

“Hurry! Charge into the cave!”

Seeing all of Purplecloud Sky Grotto’s cultivators dealt with, the rest of the invading cultivators displayed their techniques to dash into the Magic crystal mine.

…

To the surprise of Chen Feng and his group, after entering the cave, they did not encounter any attacks or restrictive barriers. They continued to move underground.

The ground within the cave was spacious and there was a total of three dark passageways leading underground. As Chen Feng’s group all consisted of Concealed stage cultivators, the darkness of the cave was no different from day time to them.

“Hurry! I can feel the aura of the Magic crystals. It’s getting closer and closer.” Tower was hastily shouting within Chen Feng’s mind. In fact, Chen Feng felt as though the Longevity Tower was eager to fly out from him.

“Be quiet! When we get there, you won’t suffer any losses,” Chen Feng could not stop himself from chiding.

As their group continued their descent, the surrounding spiritual energy grew increasingly thick. Finally, they felt as though the surrounding spiritual energy had become like smoke, seeping out from the ground beneath them.

This was not the ordinary worldly spiritual energy that cultivators usually absorb during their cultivation practice. This was a wondrous energy emanating from spirit stones.

Ding! Ding! Dang! Dang!

Soon enough, they could hear sounds of stones getting struck coming from deep underground. There was no need for them to ask anything. The sounds were from the captured miners who were mining the Magic crystals.

“I didn’t think there would be so much space down here. The way I see it, this place is much bigger compared to the Purplebolt Mountain above ground,” said Lu Ta as he observed the widening space.

“These are all the places that Purplecloud Sky Grotto had mined before.” After saying that, Ye Ziming stretched out his hand to grab at the rocky wall beside them. A small piece of Magic crystal rested on his palm.

“This is a remnant Magic crystal. They sure are thorough with their mining operation,” said Ye Ziming with a sneer.

“Careful!” The expression on Chen Feng’s face changed. With a thought, energy streams flowed through his palm to form a Longevity Blade.
