"It's really a spirit crystal mine!!"
"That's great!"
A group of people suppressed their voices, cheering very excitedly.
This is a spirit crystal mine!
Although this is only a small vein with low output, this is still a spirit crystal mine!
This is definitely hitting the jackpot!
This group of people dug spirit crystals while exclaiming in amazement.
Usually, they had never even come into contact with spirit crystals, but now, they had actually dug up a spirit crystal mine!
"Be quiet, this place is very dangerous!" The leading man Luo Shunyi said with a gloomy face, cautiously watching the surroundings.
This was already the interior of the Myriad Beast Forest, those that would appear here were all fourth and fifth-rank spirit beasts.
Besides spirit beasts, there were also many unseen dangers.
Their mission this time was to take the spirit crystals out, not to come fight.
If they provoked the spirit beasts, it would definitely bring even more trouble.
Because of this, although Luo Shunyi was a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator, he didn't dare release his divine sense too far, only extending it twenty meters.
If a spirit beast approached, he would immediately notice it.
"Yes." Several people nodded softly, then with excited faces, continued digging up the spirit crystals.
This spirit crystal vein wasn't long, roughly an area of about ten meters in length and width.
Moreover, it was hidden relatively deep, one had to dig several meters down to find the spirit crystals.
"Hurry up and speed up, if the spirit beasts come back later it will be troublesome!" Luo Shunyi said with a tense face.
They hadn't expected things to go so smoothly this time.
They had originally followed the guidance of the Great Shaman here, thinking they would need to spend some time searching.
After all, spirit crystals wouldn't be exposed on the ground, ready to be picked up.
They had already mentally prepared to dig three feet into the ground.
But unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, they saw a dug-out hole!
This hole was clearly the work of a large spirit beast.
Luo Shunyi hesitated for a moment, but still decided to dig down along this hole.
Perhaps this was the spirit crystal mine?
After all, the Great Shaman had indicated this area of land.
In any case, digging along it to take a look wouldn't waste too much time.
But unexpectedly, the result exceeded his expectations!
This really was a spirit crystal vein!
Luo Shunyi was almost overwhelmed with joy.
Their luck was too good!
They didn't need to dig everywhere and search everywhere, yet they found the spirit crystal they wanted!
A group of people became extremely excited and immediately started digging.
When they returned this time, they would definitely obtain the Great Shaman's reward!
Thinking of this, Luo Shunyi's smile deepened, while verbally urging them to speed up.
"You guys hurry…"
"Roar~!"
His words abruptly stopped.
The people digging also froze, raising their heads in horror.
"Tiger?!"
"A fourth-rank spirit beast?!"
They weren't sure whether the one making the sound was a fourth or fifth-rank spirit beast, but whether it was fourth or fifth-rank, both were very dangerous!
Luo Shunyi's face instantly became serious, he's in Spirit Severing Stage, he could still contend against a fifth-rank spirit beast.
However, when he saw clearly the appearance of the spirit beast rushing out, he couldn't help blurting out, "Soul-Devouring Tiger?!"
The others' expressions also changed in horror.
Looking at the size, looking at those teeth, this was a fucking fifth-rank Soul-Devouring Tiger!
Moreover, this Soul-Devouring Tiger was definitely not newly advanced, it had to be at least mid fifth-rank!
Luo Shunyi was in Spirit Severing Stage, but he had only just entered it not long ago.
Early Spirit Severing Stage against a mid fifth-rank spirit beast, it could only be said that he could preserve his life, but wanting to defeat the other party would be extremely difficult.
It wasn't only Luo Shunyi, everyone else's faces also turned pale.
They had expected for there to be spirit beasts, but generally thought of fourth-rank ones.
If it was fourth-rank, Luo Shunyi could still drive it away.
But who would've thought there would be a fifth-rank Soul-Devouring Tiger!
When they came earlier, they had also checked.
The aura of high-level spirit beasts here wasn't strong, the other party should've just passed by.
That's why they dared to stay here.
But now, a fifth-rank Soul-Devouring Tiger?!
"Run!"
No one cared about anything else, they immediately threw away the tools in their hands and ran away.
They were only in Golden Core Stage, if not for Luo Shunyi's leadership, they wouldn't have dared go this deep into the forest.
How could they withstand a bite from a fifth-rank Soul-Devouring Tiger?!
Seeing them about to run, Luo Shunyi's eyes turned cold, and he directly waved his hand.
"Ah!"
Several people were hit and directly clutched their chests, falling to the ground.
Their faces changed, their hearts skipping a beat, "Boss?!"
They had never expected that they would become Luo Shunyi's shield!
Luo Shunyi didn't say a word, he didn't look back, and ran forward wildly with his head down.
They're just a few minor pawns, of course they were used to delay time!
After returning, he would have people send compensation to their families.
Luo Shunyi thought coldly in his heart.
"Roar~"
A huge and furious roar sounded from behind.
Luo Shunyi turned his head in shock, horrified to discover that this Soul-Devouring Tiger wasn't attracted by those people, but instead chased after him!
Meeting the Soul-Devouring Tiger's large eyes, Luo Shunyi was almost driven mad with anger.
Was it crazy? Why was it chasing him relentlessly?!
Luo Shunyi didn't understand, but the Soul-Devouring Tiger's speed didn't slow down at all.
Although the Soul-Devouring Tiger wasn't the king of the Myriad Beast Forest, it's almost the same.
This was its territory, he couldn't shake it off for a time!
"Roar!"
Hu Niu followed behind, becoming angrier the more it chased.
Its spirit crystals!
This was its stuff!
It was willing to give them to Mu Shiyue and the others because it wanted to retire in Wanxuan Sect, but these people actually dared to come to its home to steal things?!
Unforgivable!
This was all its future rations!
—It didn't eat spirit crystals, but it could use spirit crystal to exchange for other food.
It believed that as long as it gave spirit crystals to Mu Shiyue, she could continue to eat and drink happily in Wanxuan Sect.
Now that its home was robbed, how could that be allowed?
The Soul-Devouring Tiger opened its mouth in anger and spat out a wind blade.
"Ah!"
Sensing the sound of something breaking through the air from behind, Luo Shunyi couldn't help but scream, forcibly changing his posture while running.
Bang!
Crack!
The wind blade brushed past him and directly struck a tree.
This thick tree was directly cut in half at the waist and fell to the ground.
Luo Shunyi's face changed.
He was almost driven mad with anger, "Why are you following me?!"
"Roar~!" Hu Niu was even more furious than him and launched another attack.
If it could speak, it would've probably told him to return the spirit crystals!
Seeing this Soul-Devouring Tiger persistently chasing after him, Luo Shunyi finally reacted.
Could it be coming for the spirit crystals?!
Thinking of this, he decisively took out a spirit crystal and threw it behind him.
Then he saw the Soul-Devouring Tiger really pause for a moment.
But before he could be happy, it chased up again, and from the sound of it, it was even angrier!
Luo Shunyi almost cursed out loud, it really was coming for the spirit crystals!
Helpless, he could only throw out spirit crystals one by one to slow the Soul-Devouring Tiger's pace.
But soon, this trick no longer worked.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger kept chasing him relentlessly!
"I've already returned all of the spirit crystals!" Luo Shunyi roared.
"Roar~"
Hu Niu didn't listen and continued chasing.
After running for quite a while, Luo Shunyi finally discovered that this Soul-Devouring Tiger was staring at his storage bag without letting go.
He gritted his teeth and directly tore off the storage bag and threw it out.
Then, the Soul-Devouring Tiger stopped, picked up the storage bag, and happily ran off.
Luo Shunyi: "..."
