"Holy Spirit Pellet?"
Mu Chen was also shocked as he looked at the Pellet Dragon Beast. He never expected that the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy would be so extravagant to use such a precious Holy Spirit Pellet as the eyes of the Pellet Beast.
According to Mu Chen's estimation, just these two Holy Spirit Pellets alone would be worth at least 80,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in the Great Thousand World. At that time, who knows how many Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereigns like Long Xiang and Wen Ziyu would be fighting over them.
Wen Ziyu and Long Xiang's eyes had already turned red. If it wasn't for the fact that they were fearful of the Pellet Dragon Beast's strength at the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, they would have probably made a move by now.
"Leave that Pellet Dragon Beast to Big Sister Ling Xi. We'll deal with the other nine Pellet Beasts." Mu Chen smiled when he saw their anxious expressions.
Facing those Pellet Beasts that didn't have high intellect but weren't afraid of death, it wasn't wise to confront them. Thus, it was simple for Ling Xi to deal with them.
"You really know how to order people around."
Rolling her eyes at Mu Chen, Ling Xi did not reject him. Taking light steps forward, she gave a light flick of her jade-like hand. In an instant, Spiritual Seals hiding the skies and covering the earth howled out akin to a starry sky as they integrated into this stretch of the world.
Indeed, Ling Xi was truly worthy of being a genuine high rank Spiritual Array Scholar. Her Spiritual Array could be said to be as smooth as flowing water, possessing a peculiar sense of beauty. In just a short span of a few breaths, the space before her started to distort, gradually forming into a gigantic Spiritual Array. Within the Spiritual Array, the air was abnormally viscous, while the Spiritual Energy present within seemed to be as heavy as a mountain.
After the Spiritual Array was successfully set up, Ling Xi waved her sleeve and a Spiritual Energy shot towards the Pellet Dragon Beast.
Roar!
The Pellet Dragon Beast roared when it was attacked. In the next instant, it charged towards Ling Xi along with a torrential gale and lightning.
Boom!
Since it didn't have any intelligence, it didn't have the slightest thought of dodging the Spiritual Array. Instead, it charged right into it.
When the Pellet Beast charged into the Spiritual Array, its speed instantly slowed down. That's because the Spiritual Array had turned into a world of swamps at this moment. Along with the Pellet Beast's frantic struggle, the restraining force grew stronger and layered on the Pellet Beast's body.
In less than a dozen breaths' time, the speed of the Dragon Pill Beast had become extremely sluggish, as though it had fallen into a swamp.
If it was a human with intelligence, they would have already thought of all ways to escape. However, the Flood Dragon Pill Beast would only erupt with even more terrifying strength to struggle, but the result was that it sank deeper and deeper.
"This Spiritual Array is called the Spiritual Swamp Array, and it's best to deal with powerful opponents. The moment you fall into it, the more you struggle, the stronger the restraining force will become. At the same time, this swamp will also absorb the Spiritual Energy of those trapped. In the end, the Spiritual Energy of those trapped will be exhausted and they can only wait to be captured."
Ling Xi looked at the Pellet Beast that was easily trapped and smiled as she spoke to Mu Chen.
"Truly a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar!"
Mu Chen, Luo Li, and Wen Qingxuan exclaimed in admiration. If it was a head-on confrontation, even a Perfected Earth Sovereign would have to undergo an intense battle to defeat the Pellet Beast. It was so much so that they might not even be able to obtain victory.
But right now, Ling Xi had easily dealt with the Pellet Beast without any threat. Although she was bullying the latter for not having any intelligence, it also showed the capability of a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar.
"Let us make our move as well."
Mu Chen and the rest looked at the other nine Pellet Beasts. Those Pellet Beasts only had the strength of a Greater Earth Sovereign, so they couldn't pose any threat to them. Thus, after Ling Xi made her move, they had also made their moves.
Boom!
Violent Spiritual Energy whistled within the stone hall as incomparably powerful Spiritual Energy attacks swept out. However, this commotion did not last for a long time, before the Nine-headed Pill Beast was shattered into pieces and came to an end.
Mu Chen waved his hand and Spiritual Energy swept out. Ten-odd pellets that were filled with Spiritual Energy fell into his hand.
Although those pellets weren't as precious as the Holy Spiritual Pellet, they weren't ordinary either with different effects. If they were auctioned in the Great Thousand World, every single one of them would be worth millions of drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Mu Chen and Wen Qingxuan did not pay too much attention to those pellets, but they still went according to the previous rules, splitting them 50-50 and taking half each.
When Mu Chen and the rest cleaned up all the Pellet Beasts in the stone hall, there was a commotion from Ling Xi's side. The Pellet Beast that was trapped in the Spiritual Swamp Array had already dimmed down and couldn't move in the swamp.
Ling Xi's slender finger tapped in the air and a spiritual light flickered on her fingertip. In the next instant, violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations gathered in the Spiritual Swamp Array and the Spiritual Array started to change.
As the Spiritual Light Swamp retreated, it had turned into a world of lightning in the blink of an eye. Thereafter, thick bolts of lightning that were as thick as pythons slammed against the body of the Serpent Dragon Stone Beast. In just a dozen breaths of time, the Serpent Dragon Stone Beast had unleashed a mournful wail and exploded.
Ling Xi clenched her fist and two streaks of light shot out from the shattered rocks and fell into her palm. They were the two precious Holy Spirit Pellets.
"Good!"
Mu Chen couldn't help clapping his hands. As a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar, he could naturally tell that Ling Xi had replaced the Spiritual Swamp Array with another offensive Spiritual Array in that instant. The two Spiritual Arrays didn't have the slightest delay and could be said to be perfect, fully displaying the means of a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar.
Facing Mu Chen's praise, Ling Xi lightly smiled before she flicked the two Holy Spirit Pellets towards Long Xiang and Wen Ziyu. Right now, the two of them were the ones that needed the pellets the most.
"Thank you, Miss Ling Xi!" Wen Ziyu received the Holy Spirit Pellets with joy as he cupped his fists towards Ling Xi.
"It's nothing much." Ling Xi smiled.
"After this matter is over, find an opportunity to refine the pellets and make your breakthroughs."
Wen Qingxuan reminded. After all, this place was filled with danger, and if they made their breakthroughs, there might be unforeseen events. Furthermore, they didn't have the time to wait for the two of them to make their breakthroughs.
However, Wen Ziyu and Long Xiang knew about this, so they nodded their heads and suppressed the excitement in their hearts as they carefully stored the Holy Spirit Pellets.
"Let us continue. I wonder what level Wu Tong and the rest are at right now." Wen Qingxuan looked at Mu Chen and the rest.
"Alright."
Mu Chen and the rest nodded their heads. Right now, the most important matter was to reach the depths of the cave, since the true treasures were there.
With a decision, everyone did not delay any longer. They briefly prepared themselves before they turned into streaks of light and flew out of the stone palace.
After exiting the stone palace, Mu Chen and the rest realised that it was still a long corridor. At the end of the corridor was an even more spacious stone palace, except that the number of Pellet Beasts in the stone palace had increased to twenty.
Judging from the looks of it, the path towards the depths was filled with these stone palace checkpoints, and they could only reach the depths by passing through them.
Facing these checkpoints, Mu Chen and the rest felt helpless. But in the next moment, they raised their spirits and violent Spiritual Energy swept out as they charged towards those Pellet Beasts.
At least no matter what, after defeating those Pellet Beasts, they would be able to obtain a batch of Divine Pellets of considerable quality and quantity. If they were to accumulate them, it would be a precious cultivation resource for both the Wen Family and Mu Chen's Mu Abode.
With this thought in mind, Mu Chen and the rest felt that those Pellet Beasts that were blocking their path had suddenly become adorable.
For the next half a day, Mu Chen and the rest had passed through ten stone palaces. Furthermore, the number of Pellet Beasts in every single one of the palaces was swiftly increasing.
So when they reached the tenth stone palace, the number of Pellet Beasts had already reached over a hundred with four Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm Pellet Beasts.
But fortunately, with a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar like Ling Xi around, those Pellet Beasts that had no intellect could only be used as a storage for Divine Pellets.
But even so, when they cleared the tenth stone palace, even Ling Xi's face had turned pale. Evidently, she had exhausted a great amount of Divine Pellets.
Mu Chen, on the other hand, had gathered all the elixirs and distributed them. The harvest of over a hundred precious elixirs made him smile in gratification.
The total value of those Divine Pellets had already exceeded a few hundred Divine Pellets. If he could provide such a massive amount of resources to the Mu Abode, it would definitely allow the Mu Abode's strength to soar.
"Come, let's continue!"
When everyone gradually recovered, Mu Chen licked his lips with his eyes turning red with thirst on his face. After knowing the value of those Divine Pellets, he wished that there would be no end to these stone palaces.
Evidently, the Pellet Treasury that the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy had left behind was stored in these Pellet Beasts. So from a certain angle, these Pellet Beasts were also a part of the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy's legacy.
The others were also dazzled by the Divine Pills that emitted pure Spiritual Energy. Although they had experienced many intense battles, they were still full of energy. The group stepped out of the stone palace and prepared to welcome even more stone beasts.
But this time, when they stepped out of the stone palace, the corridor that they had expected did not appear. On the contrary, it was a massive cave that appeared in their sight.
The cave was extremely vast and was filled with boundless Spiritual Lustre. The sky of the cave was like a starry sky with countless stars that flickered.
However, if one were to take a closer look, one would discover that those weren't stars at all. Instead, they were clearly formed from numerous medicinal pills.
When Mu Chen and the rest saw the cave, they immediately understood that they had already arrived in the depths of the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy's legacy.
Boom!
However, just as they were feeling astonished by this, a stone door suddenly opened in another direction. Soon after, a group of people swarmed out from it.
The two teams exchanged glances with one another. They were startled at first, but in the next instant, sharp murderous intents burst out from the eyes of the two teams.
(To be continued.)
