206: Level 5 Crystal Vine
The Silver Spirit Ore Beast pointed its nose down and ran while sniffing. Its route was so winding that it almost made Chen Fei and the Four Beasts dizzy.
Fortunately, the little fellow was indeed capable. Half an hour later, it found a wild fourth-tier Qi-Seeking Crystal Vine.
Chen Fei only took two medium-sized orange spirit ores from it before leaving immediately.
One of them yielded the Wanren Extraordinary Fire.
The Wanren Extraordinary Fire was fused with the metal attribute and was extremely violent. Fortunately, Wu Yun's [Frost Domain] was active; otherwise, it would have been impossible to suppress.
The other one yielded Dragon Horn Flower seeds.
It wasn't that the flowers looked like dragon horns; rather, the plant itself was a succulent spirit plant with a main stem resembling a dragon horn, blooming once every hundred years.
The flowers produced have a certain chance of allowing non-Dragon type Yao Beasts to obtain a sliver of Dragon Bloodline. Without external assistance, the success rate is not high.
For Dragon-type Yao Beasts, it can increase the possibility of atavism.
This Dragon Horn Flower had a huge market, but it was currently useless to Chen Fei.
After all, it only blooms once every hundred years; he would have to wait forever.
Without thinking much, Chen Fei threw it directly to the researchers in the Xirang Space, treating it as adding to the species diversity of the Xirang Space.
"Silver Spirit Beast, continue!" Chen Fei pulled out some blue spirit ores and threw them to the Silver Spirit Ore Beast. He couldn't even be bothered to open anything that wasn't an orange spirit ore.
They found a few more spots, but they were all fourth-tier crystal vines. It seemed that fifth-tier crystal vines were not as easy to find as imagined.
No wonder the spirit ore shop only had ten large spirit ores as Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ores back then. Thinking about it now, it wasn't that they were doing hunger marketing, but that they truly didn't have any more.
"Squeak... squeak squeak..." The Silver Spirit Ore Beast's cries sounded incredibly urgent.
Chen Fei noticed its state and quickly asked, "Did you discover something?"
"Squeak~ I sense that the spirit ore aura below is very dense, denser than ever before."
Chen Fei excitedly punched his palm. "This time, it should be a fifth-tier crystal vine!"
"Let's go, we're going down!"
With Lin Ya around, Chen Fei didn't even need to dig a hole; he simply had Lin Ya lead them as they traversed into the underground space.
He took a look!
It turned out to be a natural karst cave, and the cave walls were a combination of ice and crystals.
Chen Fei could even see a colossal creature buried within the cave wall.
It was a full dozen meters long and several meters high, with each leg thicker than anything else.
It was none other than a Taigu Mammoth War Elephant.
However, the elephant's tusks were gone, likely taken by the Qi-Seeking Crystal Vine and subsequently formed into spirit ores.
If that were the case, the strength of this Qi-Seeking Crystal Vine would not be low.
Chen Fei followed the karst cave deeper. Besides the mammoth, he also saw several saber-toothed tigers.
However, they weren't the rarest Tribulation Lightning Saber-toothed Tigers, but the one-tier lower Chijin Saber-toothed Tigers, which were primarily of the metal attribute.
Its attributes were somewhat similar to the Profound Gold Fierce Beast, acting as a low-tier version of it.
Subsequently, Chen Fei also saw ancient Qinglin Pythons and Ruyi Centipedes... their corpses were all frozen within this karst cave.
Logically, these corpses were worth a fortune, but since their Legacy items had been snatched by the Qi-Seeking Crystal Vine, what remained wasn't as valuable.
"Bang~ Clang~ Chang~"
Chen Fei heard the sound of fighting and quickly moved closer.
It was a King-level 3rd-rank Beast Tamer dealing with an incredibly massive Qi-Seeking Crystal Vine.
It was different from the previous crystal vines; the vines were no longer just blue and white, but had an additional layer of pale purple ice crystals on top of that base.
These ice crystals were more like its armor, making every vine extremely tough.
Furthermore, the strength of this Qi-Seeking Crystal Vine was actually at the fifth-tier 5th-rank.
"Damn, why is this crystal vine so difficult to deal with!"
"Virus Spider, the moment the Void Ghost Eagle cuts the vines, inject the virus into the crystal vine for me. I refuse to believe I can't take this vine down."
However, this person still underestimated the resilience of this Qi-Seeking Crystal Vine. Under the [Cyclone Strangling] performed with the Void Ghost Eagle's full power...
The crystal vine's purple armor shattered, and the vines were slightly injured, but they weren't completely severed.
Clearly, this person's beasts were unable to overcome such defensive capabilities.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll head back first. It seems I can only let the Tower Master have this cheap gain!"
Chen Fei was amused; it really was someone from the Green Robe Tower.
For a King-level Beast Tamer to appear out of nowhere, the most likely candidate was an assassin from the Third Floor not far from here.
Hearing this person's words, he must have wanted to monopolize this batch of spirit ores.
Now that he couldn't take down this Qi-Seeking Crystal Vine, he had no choice but to go back for reinforcements.
However!
Since they had met, it was fate; he would enslave him first.
Just as the Man in Black was preparing to leave, he found himself locked in another space where the gravity was 15 times that of the outside world, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down and figure out his current situation.
But in the next second, his Soul was directly blasted out.
"What's going on? Why am I so far from my physical body?"
"Wait, why can't I go back to my body!"
Under the double deceleration of [Space Stagnation], and with Chi Yu using [Soul Stripping] six times at once, the Souls of both the man and his beasts were blasted away.
It wasn't that the opponent was too weak, but that the current Chi Yu was too strong.
A secret technique level Soul skill was overwhelmingly powerful, and with Lin Ya's assistance, even a few more assassins would be useless.
Once, the King-level was something Chen Fei could only look up to.
Now, Chen Fei could suppress a King-level with a wave of his hand.
"Wu Yun, go ahead and enslave him!"
After the enslavement, Chen Fei asked a few simple questions: "Which floor are you from: Fuhuo, Yuwu, or Colored Lotus?"
"Yuwu!"
"What is your operational code name?"
"Severing Dust!"
"Fine, wait to the side for now."
Conquering this Qi-Seeking Crystal Vine was currently the optimal solution; he couldn't let it escape.
"Ya, give it your all and let's see!"
Lin Ya understood Chen Fei's meaning and began to stack the Sword Qi of the "Thousand-Fold Mountain and Sea Sword".
During this time, the Three Beasts assisted, entangling the crystal vine to prevent it from escaping.
Specifically, Wu Yun's [Frost Domain] and Little Gu's [Gravity Crystal] played a major role at this moment.
The Qi-Seeking Crystal Vine's movement speed was already slow, and under the interference of these two control skills, its speed was not much different from a snail's.
Because of this, it created the perfect charging time for Lin Ya.
As the Sword Qi stacked to a hundred layers, Lin Ya struck out with his sword at an angle.
The Sword Qi came wave after wave, layer upon layer, and then all stacked together to form a massive Sword Qi.
"Clang~"
After the sound of the collision, over a dozen of the Qi-Seeking Crystal Vine's vines were severed.
To the side, Severing Dust's mouth hung wide open, his heart churning like stormy waves:
No, you're also at the fifth-tier 3rd-rank, so why is your beast so powerful?
My Void Ghost Eagle used all its strength and couldn't even completely cut through a vine.
Yet this skeleton's single strike severed over a dozen vines.
Is the gap really this large?
