Fight to break the sky

Most of the monster guards at the entrance of the cave were eliminated by Yunzhi, but due to the short time, two third-order monsters were still left hiding at the back. At this time, these two third-order monsters were looking up at the sky with fear. The fierce battle, the aftermath of the battle leaked from above, made them crawl on the ground, shivering constantly.

Frowning at the two third-order monsters lying dozens of meters away from the entrance of the cave, Xiao Yan quickly took out a bottle of medicinal powder from the ring, and then poured it all over himself. This kind of medicinal powder was carefully prepared by him. It can hide the breath on the body without being detected by monsters with a sensitive sense of smell.

After making a circle around the dense forest, Xiao Yan climbed up to the entrance of the cave. With the help of the cover of the rocks, he quietly came to the top of the entrance of the cave. He stared closely at the two trembling monsters. He pondered a little and took out the ring again. Some soft cloth strips were tied to the soles of the feet.

After all the preparations were completed, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and suddenly jumped down from the top of the cave entrance. His body flew in the air for a while, and then he lightly stepped on the ground with his feet.

As soon as the soles of his feet touched the ground, Xiao Yan's body arched slightly, and then he suddenly shot into the cave.

Just when Xiao Yan's figure disappeared into the darkness, a third-level magical beast turned its gaze over. However, after finding nothing, he could only look back with some doubts, and looked at the high-altitude beast again. During the battle, his body was shaking.

…

Entering the cave, the light is not as dim as expected. There are occasionally some purple crystal blocks inlaid on the surrounding mountain walls. These crystal blocks are natural products of the cave. In the human world, these purple crystal blocks are not as dim as expected. Crystal blocks are quite cherished decorative items and are worth a lot of money.

The interior of the deep and spacious cave was dotted with these amethyst blocks and was extremely beautiful. Looking at these naturally formed caves, Xiao Yan could only sigh in his heart that this lion who became a spirit actually knew how to enjoy a comfortable life.

We walked carefully all the way, and sure enough, as Yunzhi said, there were no other monsters inside the cave. Apart from the small sound of footsteps, there was no other sound along the way.

After passing through the long cave passage, two branch roads appeared in front of them after a while.

Frowning at the two forked roads, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then walked cautiously towards the passage on the left. This passage was quite tortuous. Xiao Yan turned several turns, and as he walked, the passage became more and more difficult. As he entered, he suddenly discovered that the temperature around him was getting hotter and hotter.

Xiao Yan stopped his steps with caution in his heart. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the exit that was faintly emitting purple light in the distance, rubbed his hands, and then took a deep breath, and Dou Qi slowly began to flow in his body. , the wind attribute fighting energy left in Yunzhi's body also started to circulate. After making these preparations, Xiao Yan continued to move forward.

Staring at the nearby exit, Xiao Yan kept his footsteps as low as possible, then quietly stretched out half of his head, and his eyes quickly swept across the spacious cave.

Scanning his eyes carefully, to Xiao Yan's surprise, he found no trace of half a monster. Xiao Yan blinked and observed again for a while before he walked in with confidence.

When he came to the cave, Xiao Yan looked around, and finally his eyes stopped at the center of the cave. There, an amethyst stone more than one meter high was accumulated to look like a square platform. On top of the amethyst stone, On the stage, a purple spherical object, which was as big as Xiao Yan's head, was placed quietly.

Staring closely at the purple ball, Xiao Yan suddenly discovered that all the heat inside the cave was released by this thing.

There was surprise in his eyes. Xiao Yan didn't expect this thing to have such huge energy. His eyes cautiously scanned the surroundings again, and he muttered with some confusion: "Is this the Purple Spirit Crystal? But why doesn't the crystal heat up?" Then, Xiao Yan took out the diamond-shaped crystal from his chest and exposed it to the air, but after waiting for a while, the thing was still cold.

Putting the crystal away, Xiao Yan slowly walked towards the Purple Spirit Stone Platform. As he got closer, a faint wave of heat hit him, making Xiao Yan once again surprised by the heat contained in this thing.

Slowly bending down, Xiao Yan stared at the mysterious purple ball. His heart moved and he suddenly shouted in his heart: "Teacher, come out and see what this is?"

Listening to Xiao Yan's call, Yao Lao floated out of the ring lightly, his eyes swept across the purple ball, his eyebrows suddenly raised, a flash of surprise flashed in his pupils, and he whispered: "Is this... could it be a companion?" Amethyst source? My dear, you can actually meet this thing!"

"Amethyst source? What is it?" The unfamiliar name made Xiao Yan frown and ask in confusion.

"Tsk, tsk, this is a good thing..." Floating in the air, circling around the purple ball, Yao Lao praised: "The Amethyst Winged Lion King is a strange beast with extraordinary talents. Otherwise, it would be difficult for it to become a sixth-level magical beast. Whenever this kind of magical beast is produced, there will be a very small chance that when it produces a small beast, it will also produce this accompanying amethyst source."

"This accompanying amethyst source, because it stayed in the lion king's belly for an extremely long time, so the pure energy it contains is quite spectacular. This accompanying amethyst source, when the little beast grows to a fourth-level monster, After that, as long as it is swallowed, it can directly become a fifth-level monster, and the purple fire in its body will be more powerful than other amethyst winged lions that have not swallowed the accompanying amethyst source!"

After Yao Lao finished explaining, he smacked his lips and said, "Back then, I broke into the caves of eight Amethyst Winged Lion Kings, but I couldn't find this thing. I didn't expect you to meet it."

"Damn, is it so good?" After hearing Yao Lao's explanation, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, he threw himself down on the amethyst stone platform, and then grabbed the source of the accompanying amethyst with both hands.

"Ah." As soon as his palm touched the source of the accompanying amethyst, a suppressed scream came from Xiao Yan's mouth, and he took a breath of cold air. He hurriedly retracted his hands, looked at the burned palm, and hurriedly took out some After applying the healing medicine, he said with a horrified face: "The temperature is so high, how can I take it away?"

"Hehe, of course the temperature is high, and the associated amethyst source is already connected to the amethyst stone platform. If you want to get rid of it, you have to dig it out of the cave." Yao Lao said with a gloating smile.

"Dig it out?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face suddenly turned ugly, and his eyes swept under the amethyst stone platform. I don't know how deep the stone platform extends into the ground. It would take him several months to dig it out by himself. , and it’s impossible to get it out.

With a sigh, Xiao Yan turned his gaze to Yao Lao in mid-air. Here, he was the only one who had the strength to dig out this amethyst stone platform.

Seeing Xiao Yan looking over, Yao Lao shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't look at me either. Although I can get this thing away, if I cause such a big noise, the Amethyst Winged Lion King outside will definitely notice it. , and even if we take this thing away, you will never be able to break open this accompanying amethyst source."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yan was unwilling to let the fat duck slip away, so he asked hurriedly.

"In addition to swallowing this accompanying amethyst source, one can only force it open and collect the amethyst source inside. However, for some reasons, it is difficult to force it open with any attack, well... that's it. It is said that the shell of this thing has a devouring effect, and any attack will be devoured by it." Yao Lao spread his hands and explained.

"Swallow it in one gulp?" Looking at the purple ball that was as big as his own head, Xiao Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. Not to mention the high temperature above, just this size alone would make his throat burst and he wouldn't be able to swallow it.

"Then what should I do? You were looking for this thing back then, so you must know a way, right?" Xiao Yan was slightly troubled for a while, his heart moved slightly, and he tilted his head and asked Yao Lao with a smile.

"Indeed, you can't open this thing with brute force. If you want to open it, there is only one thing that can do it." Yao Lao said mysteriously.

"What?" Xiao Yan asked anxiously with a look of joy in his eyes.

"Hehe." Yao Lao smiled and suddenly glanced at the rhombus crystal worn on Xiao Yan's chest.

"This crystal? No...you mean, Purple Spirit Crystal?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said.

"Yes, you must need Purple Spirit Crystal to break this thing open." Xiao Yan nodded, and Xiao Yan's reaction made De Yao Lao quite satisfied.

"Then why are you talking nonsense? Find the Purple Spirit Crystal!" Hearing this, Xiao Yan turned around and ran away. There is obviously no Purple Spirit Crystal here. I think it should be in another passage.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you, since there is an accompanying purple spirit crystal here, then... there should also be a small amethyst winged lion king." Floating behind Xiao Yan, Yao Lao suddenly said with a smile.

The forward steps suddenly stopped, and the corners of Xiao Yan's eyes twitched. After a while, he said viciously: "Damn it, it dares to block the way, kill it, I don't believe it, it can be as fierce as that guy outside." After saying that, Xiao Yan quickly ran out of the cave.

"You have courage." Looking at Xiao Yan's back, Yao Lao smiled slightly and immediately added: "But he overestimates his capabilities, hehe."

…

After running out of the passage smoothly, Xiao Yan turned around and ran towards another passage. Because he knew that there was a small amethyst winged lion king, Xiao Yan was also extra careful. When walking, even the feet under his feet were Don't dare to step on the stones casually.

After walking along the passage for a while, the sight in front of me became wider again.

With his body pressed tightly against the entrance of the cave, Xiao Yan revealed one eye and slowly scanned the cave that was almost filled with amethyst stones.

The sweeping gaze slowly stopped after moving to the central position, because here, a small amethyst winged lion king was prostrate on the ground, sleeping quietly.

Looking at the sleeping small amethyst winged lion king, Xiao Yan swallowed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Hey, this little beast is only at the third level, come on." Behind him, Yao Lao's joking voice also sounded quietly.
