Chapter 323 Monster
The air inside the Spiritual Material Garden is filled with rich spiritual energy. Compared to the outside world, the spiritual energy here seems to be liquefied, and you can even clearly feel it flowing around you.
The ground beneath their feet was no longer ordinary soil, but a layer of hard rock, the surface of which faintly emitted a spiritual light.
“This place…” Lin Ye bent down, picked up a fist-sized crystal, examined it carefully, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is… a spirit marrow crystal! This kind of thing is a top-grade material for forging spiritual weapons!”
"Spirit Marrow Crystal?" Mo Ming raised an eyebrow, then bent down and picked up a stone that glowed with a faint purple light. After sensing it for a while, he said in a deep voice, "This is a Purple Obsidian. Although it is not as precious as the Spirit Marrow Crystal, it is still a rare material for refining spiritual weapons."
The two exchanged a glance, a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes.
"It seems that the 'spiritual materials' in this Spiritual Material Garden are these rare ores and crystals." Lin Ye grinned, then put the Spiritual Marrow Crystal in his hand into his spatial ring. "In that case, we'd better do a good job of looting them!"
Mo Ming nodded, but his brows furrowed slightly: "However... the concentration of spiritual energy here is too high. It might be like the Spirit Plant Garden, guarded by spirit beasts. We'd better be careful."
"Ok!"
After saying that, the two carefully made their way through the spiritual material garden, discovering various rare minerals along the way. Some stones had iridescent light flowing across their surfaces, emitting a rich spiritual energy; some crystals seemed to contain some strange power, and one could even feel the surge of spiritual energy when touched.
“These ores… don’t seem to be ordinary materials.” Mo Ming stared at a crystal in his hand that emitted a pale blue light, a hint of doubt in his eyes. “They seem to contain some kind of special energy, and some of the ores… even seem to be alive.”
"Alive?" Lin Ye was taken aback for a moment, then laughed. "You're not thinking too much, are you? Whether they're alive or not, they're all good stuff, so just keep them!"
Mo Ming did not refute, but silently put the crystal in his hand into his spatial ring, but felt a little uneasy.
Sure enough, just as the two were focused on collecting ores, a deep tremor suddenly came from the depths of the Spirit Material Garden. The sound was like the heartbeat of the earth, and along with the tremor, the spiritual energy throughout the entire Spirit Material Garden became even more violent.
"What's that noise?" Lin Ye immediately became alert, gripped the Thunder Light Void-Piercing Spear in his hand, and scanned his surroundings warily.
Mo Ming also gripped the Demon-Suppressing Sword tightly and said in a low voice, "I feel... something is approaching."
As soon as the words were spoken, a huge rock in the distance suddenly split open, and a thick black mist surged out. The mist quickly condensed into a blurry figure, and finally transformed into a terrifying monster!
The monster was made entirely of various ores, its surface covered with sharp crystals, radiating a cold and violent aura. Its eyes, like two burning fiery crystal cores, stared at Mo Ming and Lin Ye, exuding intense hostility.
"What is this?" Lin Ye asked, frowning.
“It must be the guardian of the Spirit Material Garden.” Mo Ming’s gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, “It seems that the precious resources here are not so easy to obtain.”
The mineral monster didn't give the two much time to think. After letting out a low growl, it pounced on them. Its speed was astonishing; its massive body created a gust of wind, and its sharp crystalline claws went straight for Lin Ye.
Lin Ye snorted coldly, his figure flashed, dodging the monster's attack. Then, he flicked his spear, and a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out.
"Lightning pierces the void!"
The lightning at the tip of the spear struck the monster's chest like a bolt of lightning. However, to Lin Ye's surprise, the monster's body was incredibly tough; the lightning only left a shallow crack on its chest.
"Such a tough defense!" Lin Ye's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated.
"Try this!" Mo Ming gripped the Demon-Suppressing Sword tightly, and a blue light suddenly shone from the blade.
Mo Ming took a deep breath, and his spiritual power surged wildly into the Demon-Suppressing Sword, making the azure light on the blade even more dazzling. He swung the sword fiercely, and a streak of azure sword energy roared out, heading straight for the monster.
"boom!"
The sword energy slashed fiercely at the monster, severing its left arm. However, the monster seemed largely unaffected, instead becoming even more ferocious, opening its massive maw and unleashing a black energy wave that hurtled towards the two.
"Retreat!" Mo Ming shouted, pulling Lin Ye back quickly. At the same time, he swung his sword again, unleashing a sword aura that dispersed the black energy wave.
Lin Ye steadied himself, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes: "This guy's defense is too strong; ordinary attacks have no effect on it at all!"
Mo Ming nodded, his gaze fixed on the monster, and said in a deep voice, "Its body is composed of various rare minerals, and its hardness even exceeds that of ordinary spirit beasts. We need to find its weakness, otherwise no matter how many attacks we launch, it will be in vain."
"weakness?"
Lin Ye frowned in thought, then suddenly his eyes lit up. "That's it! Its eyes! Those two flame crystal cores seem to be its energy cores. If we can hit them there, we might be able to severely injure it!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming quickly locked his gaze onto the monster's eyes and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll hold it back. You find an opportunity to attack its eyes!"
Before he finished speaking, Mo Ming had already charged forward again, sword in hand. The azure light on the Demon-Suppressing Sword surged, transforming into sharp sword energies that relentlessly slashed at the monster's body. Although these attacks couldn't completely defeat the monster, they successfully drew its attention.
The monster roared and brandished its sharp crystal claws, lunging madly at Mo Ming.
Mo Ming moved nimbly, constantly dodging the monster's attacks, while using his sword energy to disrupt its movements, creating opportunities for Lin Ye.
Lin Ye quietly circled around to the monster's side, the Lightning Void-Piercing Spear in his hand trembling slightly, a blinding bolt of lightning condensing at its tip. He held his breath, his gaze fixed on the monster's eyes, searching for the best moment to strike.
"Now!" A glint flashed in Lin Ye's eyes, and he suddenly leaped up, thrusting out his spear like lightning.
"Lightning pierces the void—piercing the sun!"
The lightning at the tip of the spear erupted instantly, transforming into a dazzling beam that shot straight towards the monster's right eye. The monster seemed to sense the danger and tried to dodge, but the mysterious sword energy tightly bound it, preventing it from dodging in time.
"boom!"
The lightning struck the monster's right eye precisely, causing the flame crystal core to explode instantly with a deafening roar.
The monster's body shuddered violently, the flame in its right eye went out, and the entire right half of its body began to crack, with large amounts of ore fragments falling off its body.
"It works!" Lin Ye was overjoyed, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the monster's left eye suddenly lit up, and the energy in the flame crystal core surged wildly, as if it was about to launch an even more violent counterattack.
"Watch out!" Mo Ming shouted, rushing to Lin Ye's side, and the two of them retreated at the same time.
