Chapter 363: Scale Bone Insects and Dragon Pearls

Chapter 363: Scale Bone Insects and Dragon Pearls

This is similar to the skull crawlers from King Kong.

It has two legs at the front and a long tail at the back.

The difference is that its body is covered with black scales, which gleam with a dark luster under the refracted light.

After being pierced through, the skull crawler began to fall rapidly.

But Xiao Feng wouldn’t let it fall so easily.

Controlling the Soul Blade, Xiao Feng stabbed it into the skull crawler’s body again.

This time, he meticulously didn’t pierce it completely, but left the Soul Blade inside its body.

Then, Xiao Feng controlled the Soul Blade to slowly pull the skull crawler’s body up.

Placing the skull crawler back in the previous cave, Xiao Feng examined the creature carefully.

Mutated Scale Bone Insect: Tenth Rank

Skills: ...

Status: Dead

Note: Mutated due to the radiation of the Heart of the Earth Stone.

"So it’s called a Scale Bone Insect!"

Xiao Feng nodded.

"But what is this Heart of the Earth Stone?"

If nothing unexpected happens, the immense energy sensed by the island turtle comes from this Heart of the Earth Stone.

Judging from these Scale Bone Insects, the Heart of the Earth Stone should be at the bottom of this cave.

Then, Xiao Feng began to dissect the Scale Bone Insect.

Using the Soul Blade to cut through its scales, Xiao Feng found that its scales were very hard.

They would be perfect for making soft armor and similar equipment.

Next, Xiao Feng completely dissected the Scale Bone Insect and found a crystal core in its head.

Unlike other crystal cores, this one was purely milky white.

It was exactly the same as the milky white hue that appeared on the crystal core of the giant python earlier.

Except this one was purer.

After some research, Xiao Feng also found a long tendon inside the Scale Bone Insect.

This tendon ran from the spine to the tail, and was extremely resilient.

However, its meat was very sour and tough, making it hard to eat.

"It seems the most valuable parts of the Scale Bone Insect are its skin, this tendon, and the crystal core!"

After storing these, Xiao Feng wiped the blood off the crystal core and began to absorb its energy.

After absorbing it, Xiao Feng found that the energy of this crystal core far exceeded the tenth rank.

Just this one core gave Xiao Feng fifty million units of energy.

This was faster than printing money.

"Wow, who knows how many more of these Scale Bone Insects are down there."

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng got excited.

Forget running a restaurant, hunting these is better.

One is worth fifty million, ten are five hundred million, and a hundred are five billion.

"At the very least, I need to kill enough to level up to the Earth Realm!"

Full of pride and determination, Xiao Feng stood up.

He turned and entered the pit behind him.

Holding the Dragon Head Knife, Xiao Feng controlled the Soul Blade to fly under his feet.

Then he slowly floated down with it.

This pit was very large and wide.

The distance in all directions exceeded dozens of meters.

There was nowhere to get a foothold in mid-air.

If not a flying type of evolver, it would be impossible to descend.

At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly saw the cliff walls below him were covered with dense Scale Bone Insects.

In the darkness, the Scale Bone Insects’ green eyes stared fixedly at Xiao Feng.

If he had climbed down with a rope from the cliff, the Scale Bone Insects would have definitely thanked him for the breakfast delivery.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a Scale Bone Insect whipped its thick, long tail against the cliff wall.

Then it sprang towards Xiao Feng.

In mid-air, Xiao Feng saw that this creature had a pair of scaly wings on its back.

As it sprang out, the wings opened, aiding its glide.

Xiao Feng quickly controlled the Soul Blade to fly.

At the same time, he swung the Dragon Head Knife.

[ Evil Buddhist Three Cuts]

The blade energy slashed through the air, hitting the target.

The Scale Bone Insect fell from mid-air.

But to Xiao Feng’s surprise, the Scale Bone Insect, though hit by the blade energy, didn’t die.

It landed on the cliff wall tens of meters below, gliding with its back wings.

"No, this won’t work!"

Xiao Feng immediately returned to the previous cave.

From the dense Scale Bone Insects he had seen, it was obvious that the one he killed initially was a juvenile.

Its size was much smaller compared to the one he just encountered.

Moreover, these Scale Bone Insects don’t have wings.

Even if Xiao Feng managed to kill them, he wouldn’t be able to bring them back!

Currently, he was using the Soul Blade for flying.

He couldn’t use it to carry the corpses back.

Xiao Feng found himself facing a dilemma.

Suddenly, Xiao Feng lifted his head abruptly.

"If I can’t kill and bring them back, then I’ll make them come up on their own!"

With this thought, Xiao Feng jumped down again.

Swish, swish, swish!

Blade energy flew around wildly.

Xiao Feng stirred the area below like a stick in a hornet’s nest, causing chaos.

Roar, roar, roar~!

The Scale Bone Insects roared angrily.

But Xiao Feng stood in the center of the high cave.

Even if they wanted to attack, they had to leap out.

Yet, Xiao Feng was agile, and the Scale Bone Insects couldn’t reach him.

Seeing the enraged Scale Bone Insects, Xiao Feng achieved his goal and then slowly flew up.

As he ascended, Xiao Feng continued to provoke the Scale Bone Insects.

The Scale Bone Insects followed him, climbing rapidly upwards.

Determined to tear Xiao Feng apart.

But this was exactly what Xiao Feng wanted.

Slowly, slowly, the Scale Bone Insects got closer to the cave.

Then, Xiao Feng jumped to the cave entrance.

Immediately, the Soul Blade, like a Marvel arrow, began to fly swiftly.

One after another, the Scale Bone Insects were pierced by Xiao Feng and brought up.

Soon, the cave was filled with them.

Xiao Feng multitasked, commanding the Soul Blade to kill the Scale Bone Insects while dissecting them with the Dragon Head Knife.

He skinned them, removed tendons, and extracted crystal cores.

It was a seamless process.

This wasn’t suffering; it was mining gold.

At this moment, Xiao Feng had only one thought in his mind:

"Fifty million! Fifty million! Fifty million!"

He threw the dissected corpses back into the cave.

The smell of blood spread, and the Scale Bone Insects, seeing their kin killed and thrown into the cave, were even more determined to kill Xiao Feng.

With a mountain of crystal cores at his feet, Xiao Feng collected them with a wave of his hand.

Roar!

At this moment, a soul-stirring roar echoed from the depths of the cave.

Next, the Scale Bone Insects retreated like a tide.

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t run, my prey!"

Xiao Feng chased after them.

At the entrance, he looked into the dark abyss.

Suddenly, a powerful pressure emanated from below.

Xiao Feng’s face turned serious.

This pressure far exceeded the Profound Realm.

But Xiao Feng couldn’t be sure if it was the Earth Realm.

Because energy was suppressed here, making it difficult to sense precisely.

After collecting about three hundred crystal cores, Xiao Feng tidied his clothes and prepared to go down and take a look.

Although that thing seemed formidable, Xiao Feng was not one to back down.

Fortune favors the bold.

Without taking risks, there are no gains.

Besides, Xiao Feng had his heart, which could revive him, so he wasn’t afraid of dying.

Standing on the Soul Blade, Xiao Feng slowly flew down.

One hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters...

Xiao Feng’s expression became increasingly grave.

This depth far exceeded his expectations.

"Could it be that this leads to the Earth’s core?"

Xiao Feng wondered.

At the same time, the width below also began to narrow.

The entire cave was like an inverted cone.

The previously swarming Scale Bone Insects had disappeared.

However, the powerful aura was getting closer.

The surrounding space had narrowed to the point where Xiao Feng could touch the stone walls with his outstretched hands.

Looking around, he noticed a circular entrance about three meters in diameter.

He passed through the entrance.

Xiao Feng finally saw the dense swarm of Scale Bone Insects again.

Here, the Scale Bone Insects began to charge at him recklessly.

Xiao Feng swung the Dragon Head Knife, continuously killing the Scale Bone Insects.

Simultaneously, he realized the space he was in resembled an inverted funnel.

As he descended, the space below became more expansive.

One after another, the Scale Bone Insects fell.

Xiao Feng felt it was a huge waste.

All those crystal cores going to waste!

Seeing this, Xiao Feng slowly flew downward.

He wondered how deep it would go.

If he reached the bottom, he might be able to collect the corpses.

At that moment, Xiao Feng noticed the surroundings becoming brighter as he descended.

Looking down, he saw a mysterious object about a thousand meters below him, emitting a milky white glow.

The light was similar to the color of the Scale Bone Insect crystal cores.

A hint of delight flashed in Xiao Feng’s eyes as he quickened his descent.

He avoided killing the Scale Bone Insects as much as possible.

He quickly reached the bottom.

The space below was extremely wide.

Indeed, it was another inverted cone-shaped space.

It was like two opposing cone shapes joined together.

Surveying the area, he saw darkness all around.

Only the center had a glowing object.

Upon reaching the bottom, Xiao Feng discovered a small pool.

The pool was about ten meters in diameter, circular, and emitted a gentle, milky white glow.

Scooping up some water, Xiao Feng noticed it was colorless.

"The light is coming from underwater!"

Xiao Feng realized.

There had to be something underwater emitting the glow, creating the illusion of glowing water.

He glanced around cautiously, wary of the mysterious creature that made him feel oppressed.

But the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Thinking this, Xiao Feng took out some boiled fish and devoured it.

The fish, made from a tenth-tier mutant fish, would allow him to breathe underwater for three hours.

Enough time to explore.

He dived into the water.

Opening his eyes underwater, Xiao Feng was slightly surprised by the spaciousness below.

The surface seemed like a ten-meter circle, but below, it was much larger.

There were no creatures in the water. Xiao Feng controlled the Soul Blade to hover around him, protecting him.

Continuing to dive, Xiao Feng soon reached the bottom.

The bottom was uneven, not sandy as he had imagined.

It resembled a karst landscape with many intersecting holes.

The holes were small; Xiao Feng suspected the water flowed up from them.

Moreover, the water was fresh.

This was unusual.

They were under an island, surrounded by the ocean.

But being several kilometers below sea level, Xiao Feng understood.

Surveying the area, Xiao Feng quickly found the light source.

It was a stone emitting a strong white light.

Crystal clear, like a powerful incandescent lamp.

It was so bright that it hurt to look directly at it.

The intense light refracted through the water, creating a milky white glow.

The stone wasn’t large, about the size of a palm.

Round, like a jewel.

Holding it, it felt ice-cold.

Looking at it, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but think of Dragon Balls.

This is really similar to Dragon Ball.

Just as Xiao Feng was about to use the system to check the information.

Suddenly, the water surged.

Xiao Feng quickly looked around and saw a huge black shadow rapidly swimming towards him from a distance.

"You finally showed up!"

Xiao Feng put away the white orb and then controlled the Divine Soul Blade to stab at it.

Underwater, the Divine Soul Blade slowed down a bit.

However, due to Xiao Feng’s strong soul power, its force was also great.

In the underwater environment, its speed and damage were still very formidable.

Swish!

The Divine Soul Blade shot directly at the mysterious creature.

Clang!

The water surged violently.

The Divine Soul Blade did not penetrate the creature.

But at the same time, Xiao Feng saw the appearance of the creature clearly.

It was a monster that looked similar to the Scale Bone Insect.

Its body was over twenty meters long, with a tail alone reaching more than ten meters.

The front had two extremely sharp claws, and its pointed mouth was filled with neatly arranged sharp fangs.

The Divine Soul Blade had pierced the Scale Bone Insect’s head, but only managed to break its scales, not penetrate it.

The Divine Soul Blade recoiled, ready to find another opportunity to attack.

Xiao Feng quickly used the system to check its information.

Scale Bone Insect King: Earth Realm

Skills: ...

Notes: A special creature evolved by absorbing the energy of the Nine Nether Earth Underworld Dragon Pearl.

"Dragon Pearl! It really is a Dragon Pearl!"

Xiao Feng’s eyes widened.

He didn’t expect that the thing earlier was really a Dragon Pearl.

This thing was a must-have!

Xiao Feng’s eyes narrowed, and the Divine Soul Blade once again stabbed at the Scale Bone Insect.

At the same time, Xiao Feng swung the Dragon Head Knife, slashing out without hesitation.

Several dozen blades of sword energy pierced through the water, creating countless bubbles as they slashed at the Scale Bone Insect.

"I don’t believe I can’t kill you!"

Evil Buddhist Three Cuts, carrying the intention of the Slaughter Death Blade, crazily struck the Scale Bone Insect.

But to Xiao Feng’s surprise.

Even with so many sword energies slashing at it, the Scale Bone Insect still did not die.

"No way, is my luck really this bad? Why isn’t the Slaughter Death Blade’s effect triggering?"

Xiao Feng was a bit flustered.

After all, the Slaughter Death Blade effect had a fifty percent kill rate.

A fifty-fifty chance, how could it not trigger?

But just then, the system gave a prompt.

[Note: The Slaughter Death Blade effect only applies to targets of the same realm or lower.]

"Are you kidding me?"

Xiao Feng was furious.

"Why didn’t this restriction exist before?"

[Note: Above the Profound Realm, each step is like heaven and earth, constrained by rules.]

"Screw you!"

Xiao Feng cursed, ignoring the system.

"Damned thing!"

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Feng controlled the Divine Soul Blade, targeting a single point and began stabbing continuously.

Dripping water wears through stone.

Especially when it’s a divine weapon.

Finally, after forty-nine stabs.

The Divine Soul Blade pierced through the Scale Bone Insect’s head.

Swish!

The Divine Soul Blade, mixed with the Scale Bone Insect’s brain matter, flew out.

The massive creature lost its momentum and slowly floated to the bottom.

Xiao Feng immediately swam over, took the Divine Soul Blade, and split open the Scale Bone Insect’s head at the wound.

A round crystal core appeared in his hand, making Xiao Feng smile.

"An Earth Realm crystal core!"

This was the highest-level crystal core Xiao Feng had seen so far.

Afterward, Xiao Feng also extracted the Scale Bone Insect’s tendons and skinned it.

These scales couldn’t be easily broken by a divine weapon; if made into equipment, it would be unbeatable, right?

After finishing this, Xiao Feng looked around and swam upwards.

But just as Xiao Feng was leaving.

In the karst landscape’s uneven cave bottom, pale hands suddenly extended.

These arms were extremely long.

They looked as if they were made of rubber.

The dense hands, like tentacles, slowly enveloped the Scale Bone Insect’s body.

Then, the palms opened, revealing a small mouth full of neat, sharp teeth.

The pale hands rested on the corpse of the Scale Bone Insect.

In no time, they devoured the entire body of the Scale Bone Insect.

By now, Xiao Feng had surfaced from the water.

Without the Dragon Pearl, the pond had lost its milky white glow.

Xiao Feng looked around and hurriedly began collecting the corpses of the other Scale Bone Insects he had killed, which had fallen from above.

In a short while, Xiao Feng collected several hundred crystal cores and materials from tenth-level Scale Bone Insects.

However, he noticed that the surviving Scale Bone Insects had disappeared.

Using the pond as a center point, Xiao Feng walked around.

He found that the surrounding area was all mountain walls with no exits.

"Strange, strange!"

Xiao Feng looked puzzled.

"Where did those remaining Scale Bone Insects go?"

After searching for a few rounds, Xiao Feng still couldn’t find any trace of the Scale Bone Insects.

"Could it be that they ran away because their leader died? But even if they did, where did they go?"

Unable to solve the mystery, Xiao Feng decided to leave.

He controlled the Divine Soul Blade and flew upwards.

Just after Xiao Feng left, in the dark pond, large bones began to float up from the bottom.

If Xiao Feng had seen this, he would have recognized the bones as belonging to the Scale Bone Insect King he had just killed.

...

...

Upon leaving the cave, Xiao Feng stepped onto the mountain, using the Divine Soul Blade to navigate.

Xiao Feng’s sudden appearance startled the big macaque.

He saw the macaque staying near the vine where it was tied, guarding it.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng felt a surge of courage.

He approached the big macaque, which this time did not avoid him.

"Do you want to leave here with me?"

Xiao Feng asked the macaque.

The big macaque thought for a moment, then shook its head with some hesitation.

"What’s wrong? Don’t you want to leave this place?"

Squeak, squeak~

The macaque made a few sounds and then quickly headed down the mountain.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng realized the macaque had something to show him.

He immediately followed.

At this moment, Xiao Feng noticed that his ability was still being suppressed.

"Could the energy suppression not be related to the Dragon Pearl?"
