Chapter 497 Underground World
Where do the ruin spirits come from?
What is it again?
It has always been a mystery, and no one has really investigated it. At least there is no convincing statement circulating on the surface.
But if you think about it carefully, things like ruin spirits gather and disperse invisibly, seem real and virtual, and appear and disappear.
It is indeed somewhat similar to the soul.
Some of its manifestations can also be done by souls or ghosts.
It is indeed possible that there is some kind of connection or similarity between the ruin spirit and the soul.
Its ability to ride the Dragon of Underworld is undoubtedly the best and most powerful evidence.
"A unique soul bred in Jiuyang Ruins? Or... the souls of those souls who died in Jiuyang Ruins did not dissipate, but were transformed into ruins spirits?"
< br>
Zhou Qing meditated secretly while waiting for the Dragon of Underworld to return.
Both the body and the soul are mysterious and contain endless mysteries.
No one in the world dares to say that he knows all the mysteries of the body and soul, and no master in the fairyland dares to be so arrogant.
From a weak mortal to a step-by-step cultivation and evolution to an incredible level, this is the embodiment of the magic of the body and soul.
Life is the greatest miracle in the world.
So if the Xu Ling is really another form of soul, it is not impossible.
After all, the great power in Jiuyang Ruins is difficult to fathom.
“This can be considered a new discovery. Unfortunately, I can’t explain how I discovered it. Otherwise, I can publish a theoretical conjecture after sorting it out.”
“But it is also possible, this Those big forces and those masters have actually discovered it a long time ago, but they have not made it public, or there may not be enough evidence to prove it."
After Zhou Qing waited for a long time, the Dragon of Underworld finally returned. .
A very thick layer of twilight frost had condensed on the dragon's body. It was so thick that it directly made the Dragon of Underworld become much bloated.
Became a big fat dragon.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing was slightly happy.
You must know that if the soul of a viscera realm warrior is sent to the underworld, then the underworld frost brought back at one time will only have a very thin layer.
Now it is only visible to the naked eye, and the amount has increased greatly.
The two-colored ruin spirits are indeed brave.
Zhou Qing took out a jade bottle, and the layer of yellow frost also condensed into liquid, dripping down one after another, and he caught it.
He counted carefully, and in the end he got nearly a hundred drops of Huangquan liquid!
The harvest brought to him by a two-color Ruins Spirit was greater than the souls of his previous enemies combined!
The soul of a viscera-level warrior can bring back about two drops of Huangquan liquid to Zhou Qing, the soul of the bone-refining state can bring about five drops, and the soul of the marrow-washing state can bring about ten drops.
Compared with the two-color Xu Ling, it pales in comparison.
This ratio cannot absolutely represent the soul gap between the warriors of the three realms.
After all, riding the dragon of the underworld and enduring the erosion of the underworld depends more on the soul's ability to withstand pressure and its tenacity.
As for a normal soul, whether it is strong or not is indeed related to this aspect, but it is certainly not all, and all aspects must be taken into consideration.
Besides, this is the soul of a warrior, and warriors do not focus on their souls.
Therefore, we cannot rashly judge that the soul of a bone-refining warrior is about twice as strong as a viscera warrior, and the soul of a marrow-cleansing warrior is about twice as powerful as a bone-refining warrior based on the amount of yellow spring liquid obtained.
Similarly, the difference between a monk's soul and a warrior's soul cannot simply be judged by the amount of underworld liquid that can be brought back.
Some monks practice the concept of sacred mountains and vast oceans, so their souls are naturally tougher than those of monks who practice the concept of vegetation. When it comes to mining for Zhou Qing, the former will have an advantage.
But can it be said that in comparison, the former is definitely stronger than the latter?
And just by looking at how much more Huangquan liquid the monks from the Holy Mountain can collect than the number of warrior souls in the corresponding realm, can we conclude that the souls of monks are many times more powerful than the souls of warriors?
This is definitely not possible.
In fact, there is no conclusion about how much stronger the soul of the former is compared to the soul of the latter between monks and warriors in corresponding realms.
Because there is no comparison between the two sides.
This is not a quantitative difference, but a qualitative difference.
How can a warrior compete with a monk in soul?
Once the internal organs are fully developed, and even the mental power that bone refining warriors can use relatively skillfully, monks in the visualization realm can skillfully use it.
From this point, we can see the gap between the two sides. They are not the same people at all.
Therefore, it is meaningless to forcefully calculate the soul gap between warriors and monks.
The "money" a two-color ruin spirit can earn is nearly twenty times that of a normal bone-refining warrior's soul, and nearly ten times that of a marrow-cleansing warrior!
He had to kill twenty bone-refining warriors before he could catch up with a two-color Ruins Spirit, which also cost time.
The time it takes to activate the Dragon of the Underworld twenty times is definitely much longer than the time it takes to activate it once.
The most important thing is to kill twenty bone-refining warriors...
How can there be so many bone-refining warriors for Zhou Qing to kill? It’s not like he joined the Heavenly Mother Sect and then went into chaos without asking the reason. kill.
This is just a two-color ruin spirit. If there are more, more souls of bone-refining warriors will be needed to match the harvest.
I really killed hundreds of bone-refining warriors in order to collect the underworld liquid...
He will be wanted by Daqi tomorrow, and Lu Qingmo will get the news the day after tomorrow, and then come to arrest Zhou Qing himself.
But the Xu Ling is different. This is a monster with no intelligence in the first place. It kills too many, but it still eliminates harm for the people.
And the Xu Ling will not drop any treasures, and no one will compete with Zhou Qing.
Vicious Ruin Spirit (×)
Perfect Mine Slave (√)
If he could capture more ruin spirits in Jiuyang Ruins, the amount of underworld liquid he could accumulate...
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up. That scene was so beautiful. Just thinking about it made him almost laugh. .
This kind of liquid is a treasure liquid that can only be made by Huangquan monks. He can obtain it continuously during a day trip to the Bone Refining Realm.
The days have passed and he has to make a fortune.
This is more useful than getting some underworld-level treasures.
As long as the amount of Huangquan Liquid is large, most treasures can be purchased, and only a few treasures cannot be traded.
“I don’t know if the speed at which the Dragon of the Underworld condenses the underworld liquid is faster or slower than that of the Underworld Monk. If it is slower, how much slower it is...”
The Mine Slave currently in use The level is low, and the amount of underworld liquid condensed at one time should not be comparable to that of underworld monks.
But if we can catch some high-level mining slaves in the future, I really can’t say who will be more and who will be less.
The underworld monks condensed the underworld liquid, which was incidental to the power of the underworld they drew from the underworld during their cultivation. It crossed the barrier between the human world and the underworld. It was not that they personally entered the underworld to condense the treasure liquid.
But Dragon of the Underworld is different. It really comes in and there are no "middlemen".
It is by no means a delusion to surpass the Huangquan monks in the speed of money printing in the future.
Zhou Qing released the two-color ruins spirit inside the Dragon of Underworld. Now it seems to be extremely weak. Even if no one takes action, it will naturally dissipate.
The environment in Huangquan is like a knife that is applied to them all the time to the things in the world. As long as they are in it, they will be hurt.
But Zhou Qing’s eyes were full of love when he looked at the two colored ruin spirits.
He announced that from today on, Xu Ling will be his good brother!
He had complained before that there was something wrong with Xu Ling, why did he focus on him, and why did he keep looking for him.
Now Zhou Qing just wants to say one thing.
Well done!
Now that I think about it, the three ruin spirits I killed earlier were really wasted.
Those who shouldn't be killed should be discovered earlier and have excellent mining slave potential in the Xu Ling, and then send them to the underworld to mine.
But it’s not too late to find out now, and there will definitely be more ruin spirits coming to him in the future.
Although Xu Ling may appear in various places in Jiuyang Xu, these monsters also have their own rules among themselves.
The deeper you go, the more only high-level ruin spirits can occupy it. There are generally middle and low-level ruin spirits outside Jiuyang Ruins.
So Zhou Qing is not worried that he will encounter an irresistible Xu Ling.
Even if they meet, they can just rely on Kun's clone to run away.
This month's clone golden finger is really of great help to him. Many times, because of the existence of Kun's clone, he is directly invincible.
Therefore, he only hoped that the more Xu Lings would come, the better.
A good brother is so enthusiastic, and he will not be stingy.
Send them directly to Huangquan for free!
This is the treatment that a monk can only enjoy when he is promoted to Huangquan. He is really very good to his good brother Xu Ling.
I have a very well-paid job here, including food and accommodation, and a good salary. If I don't get it, I have to go to Huangquan for a physical examination first.
Only if you pass the physical examination can you officially take up the job.
What? You don't want to? Don't want to do it? If you don't do it, there will be Xu Ling who will sign up!
Zhou Qing left the inner space of Kun's clone.
When he was exploring the Xuling just now, Kun's clone did not stop where he was, but kept moving forward.
So he is now some distance away from the swamp.
Take out the map and look at it. After finding his current location and identifying the direction, Zhou Qing continued to move forward.
At noon, the Nine Yang Tide suddenly changed. It was so fierce that it made people's skin hurt, and the rate of true energy loss increased sharply.
This made Zhou Qing's heart tremble. He thought of what Manager Li said and did not dare to be careless. He quickly found a bunker and hid in it to avoid the frontal erosion of the Nine Yang Tide.
Sure enough, the situation improved a lot after hiding in the bunker, and my body no longer hurt.
At noon, it is the ability of the things in Jiuyang Ruins to block the erosion of the Nine Yang Tide. If you use things from outside at this time, it is useless.
Of course, if it is a high-level magic weapon or other precious treasure, that is a different matter.
Looking at the world outside that seemed to be shrouded in a sea of fire, Zhou Qing sighed.
"Such a momentum is really terrifying."
An Lang also said in shock: "I feel that if a ghost that has not refined the power of the sun is in such an environment, it will be evaporated in an instant."
"Absolutely. The same is true for night-walking monks. They can't withstand it."
Zhou Qing looked at the raging waves outside and felt that the power of the sky was unpredictable. It was indeed a dangerous place that seemed to last forever. .
Even he could feel the pain in his body. If a viscera warrior were exposed to the Nine Yang Tide at this time, he would be killed alive.
Every January, at noon every day, Jiuyang Ruins is relatively quiet.
There are few human and animal activities.
The deeper the Nine Yang Tide is, the more terrifying it is, so even experts will not be reckless at this time.
As for the wild beasts...
The way to avoid the strongest Nine Yang Tide in the beginning was learned by people outside from the wild beasts here, and then spread.
Learn from the barbarians and develop skills to control the barbarians.
Besides the sound of Nine Yang Chao, there was nothing else in the world. Zhou Qing stayed quietly in the bunker until...
A black and green bull-shaped monster Appeared in Zhou Qing's sight, then rushed towards him with four hooves moving wildly.
If there is something in Jiuyang Ruins that doesn’t care about the Nine Suns tide at noon, then the Ruinsling must be one of them.
Looking at the Xu Ling who kept trampling the ground with the hooves of the cattle, Zhou Qing felt really complicated.
Only a good brother like you would come to me regardless of natural or man-made disasters, no matter when and where.
Tears.
Don’t worry, Huangquan Travel will definitely arrange everything for you.
The Niu-shaped Ruins spirit rushed in, but Zhou Qing remained calm.
If an ordinary warrior encounters such a situation, he will naturally be caught off guard, especially at noon.
Once the bunker is destroyed, you will be in a dilemma.
But for Zhou Qing...
The two-color ruin spirits are just delivering food.
When the Ox-shaped Ruins Spirit was close at hand, Kun's clone floated out, enlarged and expanded, and opened its huge mouth.
If there are other people present, they will find that a ruin spirit actually takes the initiative to get into the mouth of a giant beast, as if it is rushing to feed others.
When the Xu Ling saw the huge mouth of the abyss in front of him, he naturally would not rush in naively, but turned around to avoid it.
However, the huge mouth of the Kun clone emits a powerful suction force, and it is impossible to avoid the cow-shaped ruin spirit that is so close at hand.
This talent is called Devour. Naturally, it cannot be as simple as just eating it and digesting it.
Swallow the sky and the earth, absorb everything!
The distance is far away, and the clone of Kun is stronger than Kun can naturally resist this suction force, but the Ox-shaped Ruins Spirit obviously does not meet this condition.
He entered the inner space of Kun's clone smoothly.
A ticket to Huangquan.
Kun's clone flew back into Zhou Qing's sleeves, and in the space inside its body, including the one just now, there were already three ruin spirits trapped inside.
After leaving the swamp, Zhou Qing has been walking for a long time and has gained a lot.
Both are two-color Xu Ling, each one can bring nearly a hundred drops of Yellow Spring Liquid, and there are high and low levels between the two-color Xu Spirits, some can bring nearly a hundred drops of Yellow Spring Liquid, and some can bring nearly a hundred drops of Yellow Spring Liquid. Probably more than a hundred drops.
Capturing these ruin spirits is more important to Zhou Qing than obtaining the treasures other than Sky Fire in Jiuyang Ruins.
After the strongest period of the Nine Yang Tide passed, Zhou Qing left the bunker and continued walking deeper.
Xu Ling, Xu beasts, natural disasters, man-made disasters...
He encountered all these things on the way back, but he resolved them one by one, and none of them were fatal. danger.
Together, he and Kun's clones can escape unscathed even if they encounter dangers at the Yin Shen true blood level in this area of Jiuyang Ruins.
Weapons, treasures, formations and other means, and at the same time, Kun's clone is comparable to the late stage of manifesting the saint, and has achieved great marrow cleansing. It is indeed very safe.
Finally, a huge, seemingly endless pit appeared in front of us, as if something fell from the sky and hit here hard, creating this big pit. .
But in the big pit, it is not a deep concave circle. Instead, there are various sand piles and stone piles condensed into various caves. The depth inside is unfathomable. I don’t know. How deep into the ground.
It's like there is a primitive underground city.
Zhou Qing’s destination has arrived.
According to the seniors of the Yun family, this is the place where traces of sky fire were found, and it is called:
Dark Tiankeng.
To be honest, there are many sinkholes like this in Jiuyang Ruins, and they all seem to have been smashed out by some extraterrestrial object.
In other areas, there are even more than one sinkhole, and they need to be named separately.
There is only this sinkhole in Anyang Ruins, so it saves you the trouble of naming it...
"In the dark sky pit, there are various treasures with extraterrestrial attributes. Three-color ruin spirits, marrow-washing beasts, and holy sun ghosts are rampant. There are even precedents of four-color ruin spirits and true-blood beasts..."< br>
Recalling the information about the Dark Tiankeng, Zhou Qing felt very solemn in his heart.
This is not a kind place. It is already an extremely dangerous place for bone refining warriors.
Few bone refining warriors come here. Those who explore the Dark Sky Pit are basically masters of the Holy Marrow Cleansing Realm, or even a team composed of such masters.
Actually, before Zhou Qing came to Antiankeng, he had already encountered the three-color Xu Ling, but he solved them all.
After observing the surroundings, Zhou Qing found no trace of anyone else, but it was hard to say whether anyone was exploring the intricate underground world of Dark Tiankeng.
Following the rugged path, Zhou Qing walked down the dark sinkhole and randomly found a hole to enter.
The dark sinkhole is very large, and there are many roads inside, like a maze.
Zhou Qing is ready to stay here for a few days.
The underground world is dark, with only black flames burning, bringing a dark light, but the darkness cannot affect the sight of the bone-refining warrior.
Zhou Qing walked carefully, and whenever he encountered a fork in the road, he would be extra vigilant, for fear of meeting "love" around the corner.
An Lang stopped chatting with Zhou Qing at this time, for fear of affecting him and distracting him.
In the underground world under the sinkhole, some passages appear to be made of black sand, but they are extremely strong and difficult to destroy.
Some passages are relatively narrow, allowing only one person to pass through, while others are very wide, as wide as the county roads outside Jiuyang Xu.
Occasionally, the wind howls from nowhere, like a ghost crying, which makes people feel chilled.
Sometimes on some ground, you can even see lava flowing.
There are countless weird things like this in Jiuyang Ruins.
After Zhou Qing walked along a passage for a while, music came from in front of him. The music was very unpleasant, without any rhythm, and it was obviously playing randomly.
This made Zhou Qing frown slightly. What's going on? Underground concert?
He looked at the rear left, where there was a fork in the road, so Zhou Qing wanted to turn around and go back to avoid the music in front.
Playing music in a place like this is not normal no matter what you think. Avoid it if you can.
But just as Zhou Qing took a few steps back, a group of figures appeared in front of him.
There are so many people.
A group of people with no feet touching the ground actually appeared in front of them. Zhou Qing could tell their origins just by looking at them.
Yang ghost.
They are ghosts, but they were born in a special place like Jiuyang Ruins. The Yang power in their bodies far exceeds the Yin power, so they are called Yang ghosts.
Some of these Yang ghosts were holding musical instruments and playing continuously. In the middle of them was a chair carried by Yang ghosts.
There is a person on the chair, but his face is pale, his eyes are burning with ghost fire, and he exudes raging ghost energy.
This existence exudes both human aura and ghostly aura at the same time.
People are real people, but ghosts are also real ghosts.
