Chapter 99

After a while.

Tens of thousands of Iron Moon Corpse Bugs scattered, leaving behind some poisoned bug corpses.

The place returned to silence.

Chen Yu sat cross-legged, the small injuries on his body gradually healed under his powerful self-healing ability.

However.

On the other hand, Chen Yu's expression kept changing.

The bugs had left, but there seemed to be an Iron Moon Insect King left in his body.

Even if it wasn't the Insect King, it must be a mutated species.

Fortunately.

Under the suppression of the mysterious heart, the silver-colored Iron Moon Strange Insect completely froze in his body.

Vaguely.

Chen Yu felt a mysterious aura gushing out of his heart, with a trace of heat, wrapping the stiff insect.

Swish!

Suddenly, Chen Yu had a strange connection with the strange bug in his body.

At the same time.

An image appeared in his mind: A silver-spotted odd-bug with a misty silver luster was wrapped in a blood-colored flesh cocoon, looking like it was trembling.

It seemed to have sensed the existence of Chen Yu, the strange bug's compound eyes blinked pitifully.

Somehow.

Chen Yu felt that this bug had a strange connection with him.

Intuitively.

This strange bug didn't feel threatened at all, it even had a trace of intimacy.

Chen Yu's eyes flickered, and he was deep in thought.

"I shouldn't stay here for long."

Chen Yu stood up, looking around cautiously.

Swish!

He bypassed the broken sword corpse, looked at the broken sword one last time, and flew away.

On the way back.

Chen Yu surprisingly didn't encounter any bugs, but other kinds of ferocious beasts, such as scorpions, centipedes, spiders, and so on, appeared from time to time.

"This underground mine is very large, and the Iron Moon Corpse Bugs may be one of the most terrifying groups."

Chen Yu analyzed in his mind.

On the way back, there were many ferocious beasts, but they seemed to be in a panic, probably because of the bugs.

The area that Chen Yu walked in was only a small part of the underground mine. He didn't know how many ferocious beasts there were in other areas.

Besides.

During his brief encounter with the Qi Transformation Realm creature, Chen Yu discovered that its power didn't seem to be completely sealed.

As far as Chen Yu knew.

After some vicious creatures reached the Qi Transformation realm, they would possess a power similar to true qi, so they should be affected by this place. However, the native vicious creatures seemed to be different.

After half an incense stick of time.

Chen Yu fought a few more times and used up all the meat in his pocket before returning to his original spot.

On the way back, he was even bitten by a few poisonous creatures. Fortunately, his physical defense was strong, so he was not afraid of ordinary poisons.

When Chen Yu returned to the bottom of the well, his clothes were already in tatters. As for the semi-precious soft armor, it had already shattered after the swarm of insects.

"Are you alright?"

Elder Mao and the other two grabbed the metal chain and pulled Chen Yu up.

Hu!

Chen Yu heaved a sigh of relief and changed into a set of clothes.

The three old men opened the Storage Bag and saw that it was filled to the brim with over 605 kilograms of Moon Spirit Ore. They were overjoyed.

"I was targeted by the swarm of insects and was almost trapped. I used up two Yin Fire Pearls, and the semi-precious armor … "

Chen Yu briefly explained the situation.

He hid the details of the mysterious heart and the King of Insects.

Apart from that.

In the light silver crystal space in Chen Yu's stomach, there was a Yin Fire Pearl and a piece of Moon Spirit Crystal Ore.

He kept these two items for himself.

After all, Chen Yu's adventure could be said to be a narrow escape. If it was any other Qi Transformation Realm cultivator who went in, they would die.

He naturally didn't feel guilty at all.

"Yu! You've done very well to actually obtain so many moon spirit ores. "

Elder Mao's face was glowing.

According to the previous agreement.

For every five kilograms of Moon Spirit Ore, Chen Yu would be given one kilogram.

The total amount of Moon Spirit Ore from the first two rounds was about 605 kilograms.

In that case.

Chen Yu could get 80 kilograms of Moon Spirit Ore.

Elder Mao laughed. He didn't care whether the other two agreed or not, and directly gave Chen Yu's share to him.

Then.

Chen Yu didn't care how the other three divided the remaining 45% of the Moon Spirit Ore.

But Chen Yu could see that Elder Mao should have the biggest share.

After the distribution of the profits.

The three old men began to ask about the details of the mine.

Chen Yu told them about the formation platform and the Qi Transformation Realm lizard he encountered.

"That lizard should be a Black Moon Lizard. Because it was born here, it wasn't affected by the force field and could use 25% to 35% of the Qi Transformation Realm's power. "

Elder Pan pondered.

He had guarded this place for many years and knew more about the situation in the Dark Moon Mine.

"What's that Formation Platform?"

Chen Yu asked.

He didn't mention the entire wall of the Moon Spirit Ore, in case the three old men forced him to go down and take the risk.

Formation platform?

The three old men looked at each other with a strange expression.

"That is a teleportation formation!" Elder Pan said with certainty, then sighed, "Seems like the rumors are true."

While Chen Yu was confused, Elder Pan told him a rumor.

Rumor.

This mine was an important resource location for an ancient sword cultivator sect.

At some point in time, an expert from the Sect guarding this place, or at least the middle and upper echelons of the sect, discovered the Moon Spirit Ore underground.

At that time, the quantity and quality of the Moon Spirit Ore was definitely much higher than today.

However, this Sect expert didn't report the news of the mine to the Sect.

He chose to hide it and embezzle the huge Moon Spirit Ore!

"Embezzle?"

Chen Yu could imagine that anyone would do such a thing with such a huge profit in front of them.

"Not only did he embezzle, the expert from the Sect used the Moon Spirit Ore to increase his strength rapidly and colluded with other sects. He also used the natural formation underground to set up an ancient formation, forming the current force field environment. He did this to prevent the leak of the Moon Spirit Ore. "

Elder Pan smiled.

"What happened in the end? What's with the teleportation formation? "

Chen Yu was curious.

He suddenly thought of the broken sword and wondered whose corpse it was.

"In the end, the news was leaked. However, that expert had been operating here for many years and had prepared an escape route. He even set up a teleportation formation deep in the mine to transport the Moon Spirit Ore to a faraway country to nurture his own faction. At that time, Chu Country didn't even exist … "

At this point, Elder Pan paused.

"However, that person's life and death is a mystery. However, not long after, that sword cultivator sect was destroyed. Some of that person's descendants are said to still be on this continent. "

Elder Pan shook his head after he finished.

This rumor was at least thousands of years ago, or even tens of thousands of years ago.

… …

The sky gradually brightened and the moonlight dimmed.

At this time.

The force field around the Serene Moon Ancient Well became stronger and a formless gravitational force surged, making it difficult to move forward.

Chen Yu was shocked.

At the next moment.

From within the ancient well came the sound of water splashing, and a layer of blood-colored waves appeared.

"Let's go."

Elder Mao said, "We can only enter this place when the moon is full. Every half a year, the mine will absorb the power of the moon and produce new Moon Spirit Ore. "

On the way back.

Chen Yu still rode on Elder Nangong's eagle while Elder Pan stayed at the Serene Mountain Mine.

"Elder Nangong. This bird is your spiritual pet. Do you have a mysterious connection between the two of you? Oh, it is the spiritual pet contract recorded in the ancient books. "

Chen Yu asked curiously.

At this moment. The strange insect in his body maintained a mysterious connection with him.

Chen Yu could sense the condition of the insect at any time.

"No."

Elder Nangong shook his head, "Spiritual pets of this level are usually tamed by a beast tamer before they can execute simple commands. Like hunting dogs or horses. To achieve that kind of spiritual pet contract, the spiritual pet needs to have intelligence to be able to sign it. However, it usually needs Demonic Beasts and ancient beasts above the Qi Transformation Realm to be able to sign this contract. "

Above the Qi Transformation Realm?

Chen Yu understood that normal ferocious beasts were all low level and their ferocious nature was concealed.

When they developed intelligence and reached a certain level, they would become Demonic Beasts. The lizard he met in the Ancient Well should have just stepped into the realm of Demonic Beasts.

Demonic beasts had a natural ability to cultivate.

Like Qi Transformation Realm experts, they could have a power system similar to True Qi, such as Demonic Qi!

As for ancient beasts, they were powerful species that had survived from the ancient times.

It was said that today's Demonic Beasts had some bloodline of ancient beasts.

"You can't sign a contract under the Qi Transformation Realm?"

Chen Yu asked.

"It's not completely impossible. Some ancient beasts or mutated beasts have higher levels and developed intelligence early. They can also sign a spiritual pet contract before the Qi Transformation Realm. "

Elder Nangong looked at Chen Yu with a weird expression.

Chen Yu didn't dare to ask anymore and added that he also wanted a flying beast as a mount.

"If you want a flying beast mount or other items, you can trade with me with your Moon Spirit Ore."

Elder Nangong had a smile on his face, and his eyes were burning with passion.

"Hehe, Elder Nangong, we can trade, but you can't cheat my disciple."

Elder Mao smiled.

Chen Yu thought for a while and said, "I want to trade for a slightly bigger storage bag. I also need a hundred-year-old Earth Spirit Ginseng."

"Most bags of holding are only this big. Anything that's a bit bigger will double in value. Anything that's twice as big will increase in value by several times, or even ten times."

Elder Nangong smiled bitterly.

In the end.

Chen Yu used four kilograms of Moon Spirit Ore to trade for a bigger storage bag from Elder Nangong.

The storage bag was rectangular in the shape of a coffin.

Its capacity was bigger than that of a water tank, and its value was at least double.

More importantly, it could hold Chen Yu's Mystic Heavy Sword.

Chen Yu planned to keep the fifteen kilograms of Moon Spirit Ore for himself.

On one hand, the ore could increase the power of his weapon.

On the other hand, he felt that he had seen the Moon Spirit Ore somewhere before. It might be useful to him.

In the inner area.

Chen Yu returned to his residence and had a good night's rest.

The first thing he did when he woke up.

Chen Yu sensed the pitiful look of the iron moon worm in the blood cocoon.

Sensing Chen Yu's attention, the worm's eyes were full of tears.

"How can I make it come out?"

Chen Yu was almost sure that under the effect of the mysterious heart, the worm had an inexplicable effect similar to a spiritual pet contract with him.

How can I come out?

I can't make it come out, right?

Suddenly.

Chen Yu had an idea and focused his mind on the blood cocoon where the iron moon worm was.

Swish!

The next moment.

The blood cocoon appeared in the light silver crystal space, which was three inches thick, just enough to contain it.

Come out!

Chen Yu moved his mind and the blood cocoon appeared on his palm.

Crack!

The iron moon worm was overjoyed. It bit the blood cocoon and swallowed it.

Then.

The worm intimately rubbed against Chen Yu's hand, looking obedient and dependent.

"Worm, what ability do you have?"

Chen Yu clearly remembered that this insect had easily bitten through his Bronze Statue Art's defense. Its biting strength was terrifying!
