491: Chapter 491 Underground Opportunity, the Second Source Vein!

Fang Bai was somewhat shocked when he saw the source crystals scattered all over the ground.

Could he have found the location of a source vein?

"So many treasures!"

Yi Mu's eyes also lit up, an excited expression appearing on her face.

He hadn't expected that just by accidentally entering the underground, they would discover so many source crystals. Moreover, these source crystals were quite large, with the biggest even being the size of a basketball!

One should know that a single fist-sized source crystal would be frantically fought over by a group of martial artists on the outside!

Yet here, there were at least a hundred!

Fang Bai's face was full of greed. "Jie jie jie! These damn bugs actually dared to casually spread my source crystals here. They're simply courting death!"

As his voice fell, the entire underground seemed to tremble at that moment!

Roars rang out one after another, accompanied by the appearance of powerful auras!

Countless giant insects swarmed from all directions, their bloody maws seemingly welcoming the arrival of hell!

These giant insects were even stronger than the ones outside!

Clearly, this was their nest!

Fang Bai narrowed his eyes. In a place like this, he feared nothing!

Dark Element!

In the darkness, countless dark shadows surged in all directions!

Immediately following were the miserable shrieks of the giant insects...

Shadow Clone!

Every one of Fang Bai's clones was enough to crush the insect race here!

These densely packed giant insects were perishing at an extremely rapid pace!

And just as Fang Bai was slaughtering them wantonly, a massive roar that echoed through the underground suddenly rang out!

This sound carried an ancient and powerful pressure!

Tenth Rank!

Fang Bai's eyes narrowed slightly. This roar was clearly at the Tenth Rank level, and it was even more powerful than the Tenth Rank powerhouse from earlier!

Chi chi chi!

The ground shook as a huge cavern was broken through. Simultaneously, a terrifying force swept across, and all of Fang Bai's clones were shattered!

At the same time, a massive figure slowly emerged before the two of them.

Those terrifying eyes shone frighteningly bright in the darkness.

That body seemed to occupy the entire underground!

The Insect Queen!

The absolute overlord of this race!

Feeling the strength of that aura, Fang Bai was somewhat surprised. "Are there still such powerful creatures on this continent?"

Yi Mu's solemn voice rang out. "Its power contains a lot of Source Power. It must have grown by relying on the source crystals here, but..."

"But whether it's the Queen or the other insects, it's impossible for them to reach their current level just by relying on source crystals!" Fang Bai added.

Looking at the exceptionally powerful Insect Queen, he licked his lips and grinned. "So there's only one explanation: there's more than just source crystals here!"

"Roar!"

The Insect Queen let out an angry roar, staring fixedly at the two of them.

The presence of intruders made it extremely furious, and these two intruders had even killed all of its subjects, filling it with even more killing intent!

Not only that, but it seemed very repulsed by outsiders, as if it were trying to hide something.

In an instant, the Insect Queen took the lead and dove down toward Fang Bai!

Its aura was much stronger than the Tenth Rank insect from before; it had strikingly reached the Mid-Tenth Order realm!

However, what it didn't know was that Fang Bai was also at the Mid-Tenth Order!

And he wasn't just any ordinary Mid-Tenth Order!

Shua!

In the darkness, countless thick tentacles rushed out, instantly binding the Insect Queen's body and making it unable to move!

At the same time, Fang Bai waved his hand, and a dazzling Lightning Cutter slash struck the Insect Queen's body!

The Insect Queen's body was extremely hard, and ordinary forces could hardly break through its defense. However, Fang Bai's strength was superior, so his attacks were actually effective against it!

Puchi!

A huge gash was torn open, and white pus sprayed from the wound as the Insect Queen shrieked in pain.

Simultaneously, Fang Bai's body had already charged in front of it. Behind him, a massive Dharma Idol emerged, launching a storm-like assault on the Insect Queen!

Simple and crude, a feast of ultimate violent aesthetics was thus performed.

While Fang Bai was battling the Insect Queen, Yi Mu wasn't idle either. She quickly collected those source crystals, her face full of excitement.

It was just like picking up money!

Carrying a spatial treasure, Yi Mu could easily store all the source crystals. After a moment, she had finished collecting all the visible source crystals, yet she still felt like she hadn't had enough.

At this time, a miserable shriek echoed from the darkness.

It was precisely from the Insect Queen.

After a while longer, the battle ended, and the underground returned to tranquility.

The next second.

Boom!

A violent aura appeared underground!

Sensing that it was Fang Bai's aura, Yi Mu said in surprise, "Xiao Bai has become stronger again?"

By killing the Insect Queen, Fang Bai's strength had also improved.

Combined with the insects he had killed earlier, Fang Bai's cultivation had now taken another giant step forward!

Fang Bai withdrew his aura, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He had to admit, this Galaxy Grand Competition was organized too successfully; for him, it was practically like coming here for a meal.

Yi Mu walked over, her eyes sparkling. "Xiao Bai, I just collected all the source crystals. There are one hundred and seventy-eight in total!"

Hearing this, Fang Bai nodded with satisfaction. "Well done."

Then he looked around and said, "Actually, there should have been many more source crystals, but they were discovered and entirely absorbed by these insects. They probably only left these behind after they reached saturation from absorbing them..."

"However, relying on source crystals alone, it's very difficult to produce two such powerful Tenth Rank exotic beasts."

Fang Bai's gaze finally settled on the cave entrance where the Insect Queen had appeared.

From within, he felt a majestic power.

"Let's go, let's take a look inside!"

This time, Fang Bai didn't put Yi Mu into the moon god ring; it was good to let the girl experience this kind of high-level situation.

Soon, as the two of them went deeper along the trail left by the Insect Queen, that energy became increasingly clear.

Yi Mu suddenly spoke up, "I sense Source Power fluctuations!"

As an incarnation of a civilization fragment, her perception of this Source Power was very sensitive.

Fang Bai immediately said, "Speed up!"

Their speed surged, and soon, a glimmer of purple light appeared in their sight!

When the two of them passed through the purple light, they arrived at a place that looked like an underground mine.

"Could this... be the nest of the insect race?" Yi Mu said in shock as she looked at the tunnels branching out in all directions.

It was too huge!

It was hard to imagine that such a vast space existed deep underground!

And no collapse had occurred!

It was simply like a giant anthill.

Fang Bai's gaze was fixed intently on a river not far away.

An underground river?

No! That "river water" was a deep purple, emitting surging energy fluctuations!

And beside the purple river, purple crystals were everywhere!

source crystals!

Not just on the ground, but also embedded in the surrounding walls were massive crystals! Their size was comparable to a car!

Compared to the hundred or so outside, this place was practically a wholesale market!

And that purple river was, without a doubt, a source vein!

The second source vein!
