Chapter 743: Get-Rich-Quick Plan, the Mineral Vein is Really Good

After the last Thousand Thorns Eclipse Shadow disappeared, Xie Huan's divine consciousness entered the precious flower and branded all of them with slave marks.

There are twenty-one in total, the weakest one is in the early stage of domination, and the strongest one seems to be their king, with strength close to the late stage of domination.

"Twenty-one dominant-level fighters..."

Xie Huan was shocked, even a little dreamy, this was too easy. With such a group of people, he could walk across the entire Yuanyang Sea.

But such a huge fighting force requires equally terrifying cultivation resources. These Thousand Thorns Eclipse Shadows feed on the energy of the Black Abyss. If there is not enough supply, their cultivation will even gradually decline.

"It seems that we need to find some mineral veins in the Black Abyss to dig them back, otherwise we really can't afford it."

As Xie Huan was thinking about this, he suddenly remembered that when the Earth Spirit had just awakened from the seal, it coveted his immortal body and said that there were immortal jade veins in the Black Abyss.

From his perception of the dark skeleton, it seemed that what he said was not false.

"It's just right. We can dig the two mineral veins together. And there's also the treasure that Yunli mentioned that can trace back time. I wonder what it is and where it is."

Xie Huan pondered over it, and summoned the strongest of the nine, Qian Ji Shi Ying, to use treasure flowers. He wrapped black chains around them, and fixed the other end in front of the bone fragments. He ordered, "Go, find the veins of black crystal and fairy jade!"

Although the Thousand Thorns Eclipse Shadows did not have high intelligence, they were in tune with Xie Huan and were very familiar with the Black Abyss environment, making them excellent prospectors. They made a rumbling sound, dragged the bone fragments, and began to travel through the Infinite Layer.

"Master, your injury..."

Seeing that Xie Huan was in a hurry to travel because his injury had not healed yet, Bai Shi couldn't help but worry.

Xie Huan smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter. With these eclipses here, even in this Infernal Layer, there aren't many that can threaten our existence."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shi looked at the nine terrifying yet docile Eclipses and thought so too, then he calmed down.

Xie Huan called him back to the treasure flower, as the environment there was more suitable for him to heal his wounds, and only left Hei Lie to serve outside.

The bone fragments moved slowly forward in the Infinite Layer. Chaos surged all around. Occasionally, a dark golden energy vortex exploded, but was immediately suppressed by the aura of Thousand Thorns Erosion Shadow, and could not get close.

Xie Huan sat cross-legged and regulated his breathing, the spiritual energy in his body slowly flowing, repairing his injuries. Hei Lie sat cross-legged on top of the Thousand Thorns Shadow leader, healing himself secretly while vigilantly observing his surroundings.

The scene in the Infinite Layer is bizarre—broken stars, twisted space cracks, broken chains of laws, and even the occasional roar of unknown creatures coming from far away...

Xie Huan absorbed the torrent of spiritual energy gushing out from the formation. Fine golden lines flickered on the surface of his skin, transforming into boiling hot energy that surged to his limbs and bones. Broken signs of victory began to appear one by one, defending against a moving golden light that was incompatible with the surrounding environment, and even repelled each other.

After an unknown amount of time, the Thousand Thorns Shadow that was dragging the bone fragment in front suddenly stopped and let out a low hiss, as if it had sensed something.

Xie Huan opened his eyes, his eyes flickered: "Something is approaching."

His "Return of the Immortal" was greatly suppressed in the Black Abyss, but because of the dark skeleton part, a new kind of sensitivity was born, and he easily captured the movement.

In the chaos, several dark shadows suddenly emerged. They looked like giant sharks, but were covered with pitch-black scales, with sharp fangs and greedy eyes.

"Black Abyss Energy Devouring Beast!"

Hei Lie's expression changed, "They specialize in absorbing the energy of the Black Abyss and are extremely sensitive to mineral veins!"

"Oh? So we're in the right place."

Xie Huan's lips curled up slightly.

Those energy-devouring beasts were very sharp. When they realized they had been discovered, they immediately stopped and confronted Thousand Thorns Shadow from a great distance.

The auras of both sides surged like the tide, they pressed against and tested each other, colliding in the void, making harsh hissing sounds, but no one dared to make the first move.

"superior."

Xie Huan spoke lightly, and with a flick of his fingertips, the chains wrapped around the Nine-headed Thousand-thorn Erosion Shadow broke.

"Roar--!"

The nine-headed eclipse suddenly rose up, tearing through the chaos like black lightning, and rushed straight towards the energy-devouring beast! The energy-devouring beast was not to be outdone, its fangs were sharp, and its scales glowed darkly. It opened its mouth and spewed out several corrosive beams of black abyss energy!

"Swish!" The energy beam collided with the sharp claws of the Eclipse, bursting out a dazzling black light, and the void was torn into cracks. One Eclipse was pierced by the beam, and most of its body was instantly corroded, but the power of the Black Abyss surged, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye! The other Eclipse took the opportunity to attack, and its claws were like knives, fiercely tearing open the scales of an energy-devouring beast, and black blood splattered!

The two sides fought fiercely, black fog swirled in the chaos, and the sound of energy explosions was endless.

Xie Huan watched the battle coldly, while paying attention to the movements around him. After a while, he waved his right hand lightly, and another Nine-Headed Thousand-Thored Eclipse Shadow emerged, roaring and rushing forward.

Under the siege of eighteen Thousand Thorn Erosion Shadows, the Energy Devouring Beasts were instantly defeated and torn into pieces one after another. Black blood spilled into the void and eventually turned into black mist and dissipated.

Xie Huan gave another order: "Search everywhere."

The eighteen Thousand-Thorn Shadows flashed and turned into shadows and disappeared into the void - they were born with the ability to master space and disappeared in the chaotic black fog in an instant.

Soon, one of the Eclipses sensed something. Xie Huan's eyes narrowed, and he tore through space with the remaining Eclipses.

Before my eyes was a towering black mountain, with countless dark golden crystal clusters inlaid on the surface of the mountain. It glowed with an eerie luster in the black fog, and the rich black abyss energy rose and fell like the tide.

There seems to be liquid black flames flowing inside those crystals, which is the symbol of the highly condensed energy of the Black Abyss - "Dark Ash Crystal".

"It's actually the Nether Cinder Black Crystal Mine!"

The black pupils trembled violently and the voice was trembling.

Although the Black Abyss Energy Crystal is similar to the Spirit Stone, due to the unique form of the Black Abyss energy, it is difficult to condense into stone, so it is far more precious than the Spirit Stone.

"There are always powerful beings lurking near this kind of top-quality mineral veins, master, be careful."

Black Crack reminded.

Xie Huan nodded: "I have sensed it."

His eyes penetrated the surface crystal.

In the deepest part of the mountains, a dormant aura of terror beats like a heartbeat - with every fluctuation, the dark crystals in the entire vein flicker.

"It looks like a big war is inevitable."

Xie Huan pondered for a moment, then summoned all the Thousand Thorns Shadows to surround the entire mine.

Then he stretched out his hand and a slash of sword energy instantly cut through the vein, and the sharp force penetrated directly into the space where the breath was.

The breath stagnated for a moment, and the entire mine suddenly fell into an eerie stillness.

Xie Huan's pupils shrank suddenly, and the Black Abyss Soul flew out first, with the power of the dark skeleton flowing in his palm. Black Crack and the twenty-one Eclipse Shadows tensed their bodies at the same time, and the murderous intent locked onto the depths of the mineral vein like a tide.

The existence under the mineral vein sensed the situation outside and suddenly disappeared into thin air.

Xie Huan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his vigilance was raised to the extreme.

But after a while, nothing happened.

That terrifying existence just disappeared completely.

"Escape?"

Xie Huan was stunned at first, then he understood.

The opponent has such powerful strength, and obviously he is not stupid. With twenty-one Thousand Thorn Shadows around, plus his own Black Abyss Soul, which also contains the breath of Dark Skeleton, any normal creature would not fight hard.

The fact that it could escape showed that the creature had high IQ, no wonder it could grow to such an extent.

"Since the original owner has fled, these mineral veins are now ownerless."

Xie Huan smiled slightly, his eyes swept across the mountain of dark ember crystals, "Then I won't be polite."
