Chapter 529
After collecting the venom, they found a dark green crystal core in the body of the Ten Thousand Poison Spider. This crystal core exuded powerful spiritual power fluctuations, as if it was the core of the Ten Thousand Poison Spider's power.
"This crystal core should be the essence of the Ten Thousand Poison Spider's cultivation. It contains rich spiritual power and poison power. If we can refine and absorb it, it will be of great help to our cultivation." Fu Shaoping said excitedly.
Nangong Wan looked at the crystal core, his eyes also gleaming. "However, the power of this crystal core is too strong, we can't refine it rashly. We need to find a safe place and carefully study the method of refining."
The two carefully placed the crystal core into a special jade box and sealed it. Then, they searched for other potentially useful resources in the remains of the Ten Thousand Poison Spider. They found that the eight long legs of the spider contained a kind of tough veins, which were extremely tough and seemed to be able to withstand huge forces.
"These tendons can be used to make bowstrings or ropes of magic weapons, which can greatly enhance their toughness." Fu Shaoping picked up a tendon, pulled it hard, and found that the tendon showed no signs of breakage.
Nangong Wan also picked up a tendon and observed it carefully. "Yes, this kind of tendon is very rare. Let's collect them all."
So, the two began to collect the tendons in the spider's legs and put them neatly into a storage bag. After collecting the tendons, they found some special organs and materials in other parts of the spider's body. These resources have different uses and values.
After a careful search and collection, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan finally collected all the resources from the Ten Thousand Poison Spiders. They looked at the full harvest in their hands, and their hearts were filled with joy and satisfaction.
"The harvest this time is so rich! With these resources, our strength will be further enhanced." Fu Shaoping's face was filled with smiles.
Nangong Wan also smiled and said, "Yes, but we can't take it lightly. There are still many unknown dangers waiting for us in this cave. We must continue to stay vigilant and explore."
After that, the two packed their bags and set out again to explore the cave. Their figures gradually moved farther and farther in the mysterious cave, and they walked deeper with curiosity about the unknown and persistence in cultivation.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan carefully stepped into the outer layer of the cave, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere came to their faces, which made them feel awe. The space here seemed different from the outside world. The light was slightly dim, but there was a strange light flickering faintly, as if a mysterious power hidden in the darkness was quietly surging.
Their eyes were quickly attracted by a huge and complex magic circle on the ground. The scale of this magic circle was beyond imagination, and the runes were densely arranged, forming various strange patterns and lines. These runes flashed with a faint light, as if telling an ancient story.
"This is... an ancient magic circle!" Fu Shaoping frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He slowly squatted down and carefully observed the patterns of the magic circle, trying to find some clues from it.
Nangong Wan also came over, her eyes full of curiosity. "This formation looks very complicated, and seems to contain powerful power. Look, the arrangement of these runes seems to be attracting some kind of power."
Fu Shaoping followed Nangong Wan's gaze and his heart moved. He stood up, raised his hands slightly, released a trace of spiritual power, and tentatively touched the edge of the magic circle. In an instant, he felt a strong suction coming from the magic circle, and his spiritual power seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and surged towards the center of the magic circle.
"Be careful! This magic circle seems to have its own power." Fu Shaoping quickly withdrew his spiritual power and looked at the magic circle vigilantly.
At this moment, the rune light on the magic circle suddenly became stronger, and rays of light passed through the void and shot towards the distant sky. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked up and saw countless stars shining brightly in the night sky, and the light emitted by the magic circle echoed with the light of the stars, as if a mysterious connection had been established.
"This magic formation is actually drawing the power of the stars!" Nangong Wan said in surprise.
Fu Shaoping's eyes sparkled with excitement. "If this formation can draw in the power of the stars, then the power it contains must be extremely strong. Who knows, there may be some precious treasure hidden here."
As the magic circle connected with the power of the stars, the surrounding space began to undergo wonderful changes. The originally dim outer layer of the cave was gradually illuminated by the light of the stars, and some strange scenes could be seen faintly in the light. Under the reflection of the light, they found that a huge vortex appeared in the center of the magic circle, and the vortex emitted powerful spiritual power fluctuations, as if something was being summoned.
"Let's be careful and take a closer look." Fu Shaoping took Nangong Wan's hand and slowly walked towards the center of the magic circle.
When they walked to the edge of the vortex, a strong spiritual force rushed towards them, causing their bodies to tremble slightly. They looked closely and saw a mineral vein gradually emerging from the vortex. This mineral vein was flashing with colorful light, and various precious minerals were clearly visible in the light.
"This is a star vein!" Fu Shaoping's voice was full of excitement. Star veins are extremely rare treasures, containing rich star power and various precious minerals. For practitioners, they are excellent resources for improving their strength.
Nangong Wan's eyes also sparkled with excitement. "We are so lucky! We didn't expect to find a star vein here."
However, just as they were about to explore the veins further, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. In the originally peaceful space, black cracks suddenly appeared, and the cracks exuded a dark atmosphere, as if some evil power was awakening.
"Not good! This mineral vein seems to be guarded by some force." Fu Shaoping's face became solemn.
Nangong Wan tightly grasped the magic weapon in his hand and looked around vigilantly. "We must be careful in dealing with it. We don't know how powerful this protective force will be."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black figure rushed out from the crack. It was a tall monster, shrouded in black mist, with no clear face, only a pair of eyes flashing blood-red light.
"You intruders, don't even think about getting the star mineral veins easily!" the monster said in a low and hoarse voice.
Fu Shaoping frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why are you guarding this mine?"
The monster sneered: "I am the guardian of this cave. The star vein is the treasure of the cave. Outsiders are not allowed to touch it."
"Humph! In that case, we have no choice but to fight!" Fu Shaoping shouted and took the lead in attacking. He used the Daluo Diamond Seal, and a golden diamond seal flew towards the monster.
The monster stretched out its black palm calmly and easily blocked the diamond seal. "With just this little ability, you still want to defeat me?"
Nangong Wan saw this and quickly used the formation to assist. She waved her hands quickly, and runes flew out of her hands and arranged in a mysterious formation in the air. The formation released rays of light, which strengthened Fu Shaoping's attack power.
Fu Shaoping felt the blessing of the formation and used the Qiankun Niluan Palm again. The black spiritual palm slapped the monster, and the surrounding space was distorted. The monster felt the power of the attack, and its figure flashed, avoiding the attack of the Qiankun Niluan Palm. Then, it sprayed a black beam of light from its mouth, shooting towards Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan.
Fu Shaoping quickly used the Prisoner Ice Seal, and the blue ice crystals shot towards the black light column, trying to seal it. However, the power of the black light column was so strong that the ice crystals melted the moment they came into contact with the light column.
"The strength of this monster really cannot be underestimated." Fu Shaoping was secretly surprised.
Nangong Wan shouted from the side: "We can't fight head-on, we have to find its weakness."
Fu Shaoping nodded, and he used the Star Scimitar, and the silver scimitar slashed at the monster. The monster dodged the attack again, and then its body suddenly swelled up, and black light poured out of its body, rushing towards Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan.
Fu Shaoping sensed the danger and quickly used the Flying Demon Subduing Technique to protect his body. A golden shield appeared around his body. Nangong Wan also used his own defensive magic to resist the monster's attack.
In the fierce battle, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan gradually discovered that the monster seemed to have a special resistance to the power of the stars. Their attacks did not cause much damage to the monster, and the monster's attacks became more and more fierce.
"It seems we need to change our tactics." Fu Shaoping said.
Nangong Wan thought for a moment and said, "We can use the power of the magic circle. Since this magic circle can draw the power of the stars, maybe we can use the power of the magic circle to fight monsters."
Fu Shaoping's eyes lit up. "You're right! Let's try it."
So, the two of them began to try to establish a connection with the magic circle, trying to use the power of the magic circle to fight the monster. After some effort, they finally established a connection with the magic circle and felt the power of the stars pouring into their bodies.
"Now, let's attack again!" Fu Shaoping shouted.
He used the Taiyi Sword Formation, and the twelve Thunder Swords formed a sword formation that flashed with golden light and stabbed at the monster. Nangong Wan continued to use the formation to assist, strengthening the power of the sword formation.
The monster felt the powerful force of this attack, and its face became solemn. It tried its best to resist the attack of the sword formation, and the black light and the golden light collided with each other, emitting a dazzling light.
During the fierce battle, Fu Shaoping suddenly found a faint light flashing on the monster's abdomen. He thought it might be the monster's weakness.
"I found its weakness!" Fu Shaoping shouted.
After hearing this, Nangong Wan immediately adjusted the formation and focused the attack on the monster's abdomen. Fu Shaoping also used the innate spiritual treasure broken sword to stab the monster's abdomen.
The monster sensed the danger and tried to dodge the attack, but it was too late. The broken sword of the innate spiritual treasure hit the monster's abdomen, making a loud noise. The monster's body trembled violently, and the black mist began to dissipate.
"Continue the attack!" Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan shouted in unison.
They launched a more violent attack, and all kinds of magical powers and spiritual powers continued to flow towards the monster. Finally, under their joint attack, the monster let out a scream, and then turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared.
"We finally defeated it!" Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan smiled at each other, their eyes filled with joy and fatigue.
They walked towards the Star Mine again and began to carefully explore the treasures in it. This mine contained various precious ores, including golden stones, blue spiritual crystals, and some strange ores that they had never seen before.
"These minerals are excellent resources for cultivation, so we must collect them carefully." Fu Shaoping said.
Nangong Wan nodded in agreement, and the two began to carefully collect the ore. They put the ore into the storage magic weapon, and their hearts were filled with the joy of harvest.
In the process of collecting ore, they also found some ancient runes and relics. These runes and relics seemed to contain the secrets of star power, which were of great help to their cultivation.
“These runes and relics may give us a deeper understanding of the power of the stars.” Nangong Wan said excitedly.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan spent a lot of time and energy, and finally collected almost all the resources in the Star Mine. They looked at the full harvest in the storage magic weapon, and their hearts were filled with satisfaction.
"The harvest this time is so rich! With these resources, our strength will definitely be greatly enhanced." Fu Shaoping said.
Nangong Wan smiled and nodded: "Yes, but we must not forget that there are still many unknown places in this cave waiting for us to explore. We must keep moving forward and look for more treasures and secrets."
After that, the two of them continued to go deeper into the cave with a lot of harvest to explore more mysteries.
After harvesting the rich resources of the Star Mine, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan went deeper into the inner layer of the cave with great expectations. Along the way, they carefully avoided various hidden dangers and traps, and finally came to the entrance of the inner layer of the cave.
However, what appeared before their eyes was a barrier shining with mysterious light. The light of this barrier was more brilliant and complex than the outer layer, as if it was a huge light curtain interwoven by countless stars, emitting powerful spiritual power fluctuations that made people's hearts flutter.
"The complexity of this barrier is far beyond our imagination." Fu Shaoping frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the barrier, trying to find some clues from it.
Nangong Wan also stared at the barrier intently. She could feel the strong pressure coming from the barrier, as if warning anyone who tried to break in. "It seems that to enter the inner layer of the cave, we must first break this barrier." (End of this chapter)
