When Yao Yue fell into the deep pit again, he carefully observed the situation on both sides and finally found another hole.
This hole was right beside the Yuan vein that he dug. Obviously, it was the hole that the Centipede King drilled out from.
"The Centipede King has already reached the middle grade and is guarding near the Yuan vein. Who knows what kind of spiritual creature it is cultivating in its resting place!" Yao Yue muttered to himself and drilled into the hole that the Centipede King drilled out.
It was extremely dark here, but it didn't affect him at all. His sharp eyes could see everything clearly.
Yao Yue continued to walk towards the entrance of the cave. After walking for a short distance, he suddenly saw a pair of cold eyes staring at him from the front.
Hiss!
There was actually another Centipede King here. It quickly scuttled out and pounced towards Yao Yue to bite him.
Before its mouth reached him, the poisonous gas had already filled the air.
The thick black gas floated and attacked with a terrifying poison.
"Not good!"
Yao Yue shouted and released all his strength. He angrily slammed his palms forward and two thick flames rushed forward.
In this narrow space, he could only protect himself like this.
If he couldn't kill this Centipede King, then the one who would die would be him!
Fortunately, this Centipede King's strength was much weaker than the one he killed just now. It was only a low grade Demon King.
It was directly smashed to death by Yao Yue's powerful palms!
Yao Yue's body was also invaded by the poisonous gas and an extremely uncomfortable feeling spread throughout his body.
Yao Yueshou didn't say anything. He immediately took the Demon Core of the Centipede Queen and swallowed it. After that, he drank some of its Blood Essence.
He immediately circulated the Ten Thousand Demon Devouring Art and refined it!
Other people who were poisoned by the Centipede King could consume its blood essence to detoxify the poison. However, Yao Yue not only wanted to detoxify the poison, he also wanted to increase his strength. Therefore, he absorbed the Centipede King's Demon Core.
In any case, this was a low-grade one, which was just right for him to devour and absorb.
After refining one-third of the Demon Core's power, he regained consciousness. He did not continue to refine the remaining power because time waits for no one.
He refined this bit of energy to temporarily detoxify the poison. As for the remaining energy, he would slowly absorb it in the coming days.
Right now, the most important thing was to check if there were any dangers inside and see if there were any spirit items. Then, he would immediately start digging!
After Yao Yue took some of the Centipede Queen's demonic materials, he burned its body and went inside.
The cave was still quite deep, and there were quite a few centipedes inside.
However, these centipedes weren't very strong. Yao Yue only needed to release fire to burn them all to death.
Soon, he finally reached the end of the cave, which was the centipede's nest!
This lair was a deep hole that had been hollowed out. It was rather spacious, and there was a thick stench all around. There were also droplets of moist water dripping from the ceiling.
Yao Yue's eyes were like a lantern as he swept his gaze across the cave. He immediately saw everything in the cave.
There were many skeletons here. There were Asura Devils and human skeletons. Clearly, they were the food that the centipedes had caught. There were also piles of dried grass and branches that they used to rest in.
Yao Yue's gaze passed through the dried grass and branches and finally found the spirit item he was looking for.
"This is a Thousand Year Poisonous Grinding Mushroom!"
Yao Yue lightly exclaimed. Then, he walked over and dug up what looked like a Thousand Year Ganoderma.
Others might think that it was a Thousand Year Ganoderma, but Yao Yue could tell that it was a Thousand Year Poisonous Grinding Mushroom. Its poison was so strong that even a King would not be able to withstand it!
If others touched this Thousand Year Poisonous Grinding Mushroom, they would immediately be poisoned. However, Yao Yue had just swallowed the Centipede Queen's demonic core and was already immune to poison.
Only a different kind of poison would be able to affect Yao Yue.
Yao Yue put away the two Thousand Year Poisonous Grinding Mushrooms.
This thing was both a poison and a spirit medicine. It could kill people, but it was also a great supplement for those who cultivated poison. It could improve their poison techniques!
Yao Yue looked in another direction and saw another spirit item. He was instantly overjoyed and exclaimed, "There really is a Hundred Legged Vine!"
Yao Yue ran to the front of the cave wall and pulled out a grass vine that was coiled around the wall.
This vine was shaped like a centipede. It had hundreds of small branches growing out of it and was known as the Hundred Legged Vine. It was a spirit medicine that could cure hundreds of poisons. At the same time, it could expand the toughness and width of one's meridians. It was an excellent medicine for cultivators to improve their body's flexibility.
Once a cultivator's meridians became tougher and wider, the amount of elemental energy stored in them would naturally increase. The accumulated energy would increase as well. During battle, the cultivator would be able to provide even more source energy, allowing them to last longer than cultivators of the same level.
Although this was only a low-grade spirit medicine, it was still very useful to Yao Yue.
Moreover, this Hundred Legged Vine was so long that it could be divided among many people.
After keeping the Hundred Legged Vine, Yao Yue looked in a certain direction.
There were a few huge ki stones there. Each of them was as big as a cube, and there were a total of five of them!
It was because of these five ki stones that the cave was filled with spiritual energy, giving birth to two Centipede Kings at the same time!
Yao Yue gulped and muttered, "These, these are not ordinary ki stones. They are, they are mid-grade ki stones!
How is this possible?! "
After observing for a while, Yao Yue was certain that these were five blocks of mid-grade ki stones!
This was because the purity of mid-grade ki stones was much higher than low-grade ki stones. The energy contained within was also many times greater!
At this moment, he felt as if he had been knocked unconscious by the shock!
Mid-grade ki stones were much more valuable than low-grade ki stones!
A normal-sized mid-grade ki stone was equivalent to ten low-grade ki stones. Here, five blocks of mid-grade ki stones were equivalent to fifty blocks of low-grade ki stones!
Fifty blocks of low-grade ki stones!
This was enough for a King to raise his cultivation by one or two levels!
Yao Yue did not say anything and kept the five blocks of mid-grade ki stones.
He sighed, "Could these five blocks of ki stones also be dug out from the ki vein?
But the ki stones I dug out were only low-grade ki stones? "
Yao Yue shook his head and did not continue to investigate. He planned to return to the original location to dig for more ki stones!
However, they found another cave entrance in the other direction of the cave.
He walked over and observed for a while. He found that the other cave entrance was actually another location of the ki vein.
"Could it be that this location is connected to the one I dug out? This is a distance of tens of meters. Could it be that this ki vein is really that long?" Yao Yue cried out in shock.
If this ki vein was that long, then their harvest would be incomparably huge!
Yao Yue did not delay any longer and began to dig from this location.
He activated his external elemental energy and used the Divine Phoenix Halberd to dig out the ki stones one by one.
He found that the ki stones at this location were infinitely close to mid-grade ki stones. They were the best of the low-grade ki stones.
It seemed that the mid-grade ki stones that were originally produced by this cave entrance were taken out by the centipede King and then set up its nest here!
One had to admit that this centipede really knew how to enjoy life. If it could continue to cultivate here, it would definitely become a high-grade Demonic King. As for whether it could become a Demonic Emperor, that would depend on its bloodline.
Digging for ki stones was a dry and boring task!
Yao Yue kept the ki stones he dug out into his spatial bracelet. Fortunately, his spatial bracelet had enough storage space. Otherwise, he would only be able to look at the ki vein without being able to keep it.
This elemental vein was two meters wide and dozens of meters long. It was not a short elemental vein.
Yao Yue used two days of digging day and night to dig out more than a hundred blocks of ki stones.
During this time, his spatial bracelet was filled to the brim. He had no choice but to let the blind old man go down to help and put away the rest of the ki stones.
The two of them were so happy that they did not know how to describe their current feelings.
After the two of them left, they prepared to split the ki stones equally.
"Kid, there's no need to take them out. I've already collected enough. You can use the rest!" The blind old man said generously.
He had already obtained thirty square meters, and he did not want the other hundred square meters that Yao Yue had.
It was not that he was being generous, but he knew that Yao Yue needed ki stones for too many things.
In order for the Imperial Army to defeat the Shura Army, he was willing to take less ki stones.
Yao Yue did not argue with the blind old man. This was a rare opportunity for the blind old man to be generous, and he did not want to miss it.
However, he still took out a Hundred Legged Vine and gave it to the blind old man. "Old Blind, although this Hundred Legged Vine is a low-grade spiritual medicine, it should be beneficial to you."
It was not easy to find any spiritual medicine, even if it was a low-grade one.
The blind old man took the Hundred Legged Vine and sniffed it. "I've never heard of the Hundred Legged Vine, but it smells quite good. I don't think you'd dare to lie to me."
Not everyone knew the names of many spiritual medicines. Yao Yue only knew of their existence because he had the Demonic Beast Emperor's inheritance.
"How would I dare lie to you?" Yao Yue spread out his hands and smiled.
"Alright, we should leave!" The blind old man said.
"No, I don't want to leave yet!" Yao Yue replied.
"What?
Did you find anything else? "The blind old man asked.
"No, I suddenly feel that this is a very good place to use. If I can trick the Shura Demons to come here, then I can definitely make it so that they won't be able to return!" Yao Yue said confidently.
This was the Elemental Gathering Disk, a good place to gather elemental energy. As long as he used it well, his Heavy Killing Array would definitely be able to unleash an incomparably powerful force.
Moreover, he had enough ki stones on him. No matter how many Shura Demon Kings came, he would be able to fight against them all by himself, and even kill them all!
Therefore, Yao Yue planned to use the same trick again. He would lure the Shura Demons to come and kill the rest!
In this way, not only would he be able to defeat the Shura Demons, but he would also give the Imperial Army an opportunity to take back North Shepherd City!
