The cannon fodder female partner becomes a god by practicing involution

Chapter 174 Black Flame Crystal

Under normal circumstances, no one would give away spirit beasts so casually.

Shen Qingluo didn't want this treasure-hunting rat. Not to mention the system, there was no need for such a spiritual beast. Even if she really needed it, she would only contract with those who had not yet recognized their master.

Thinking of this, she simply refused, "I just asked casually out of curiosity. Since this treasure hunter has recognized you as his master, don't give it away anymore."

The girl misunderstood her meaning, "Senior, the contract of recognition can be terminated at any time."

Shen Qingluo shook his head and laughed, "I really don't need such a spiritual beast. With your current level of Qi refining, although the treasure hunter focuses on treasure hunting, it also has a certain attack power. Plus, it is the second level, so it can be your help. Why bother?" Give it away.”

The girl understood now, and she was a little surprised. It was rare to see such an approachable and advanced senior.

When she heard the other party ask about the treasure-hunting rat, she thought of simply sending the spirit beast away for peace of mind, but she didn't expect that the senior would actually think about it for her instead.

Thinking of this, she put the treasure-hunting rat aside and explained with a smile: "Senior, I keep many spirit beasts at home. When fighting the enemy, I can summon other spirit beasts, so for me, its role is limited to Treasure hunt.”

Shen Qingluo was a little surprised when he heard this. Could this girl come from a family of beast masters?

Before she could ask, the other party had already introduced her origins.

"Senior, my name is Lu Ying. I come from Bailing Valley. There are all beast-controlling families in Bailing Valley. If you want to buy a spiritual beast, you can go and have a look. By the way, I don't know what I call you, senior?"

Shen Qingluo said his pseudonym: "Luo Ning."

At this moment, the treasure hunter squeaked twice at the girl.

Lu Ying understood the meaning of the words and explained to the person in front of her: "Senior Luo, the treasure hunter said that it has made a new discovery. It is about seven miles southeast of here. Senior, why don't you come with me and take a look?"

"Alright."

Shen Qingluo nodded and agreed.

Lu Ying drove the treasure-hunting rat to lead the way, and the two quickly walked towards their destination.

Finally, the treasure-hunting mouse stopped in front of a maple tree that was as thick as a three-person hug.

Lu Ying looked at it, her bright eyes full of doubts, "Xiao Hui, is this the treasure you are talking about?"

"Squeak!"

After receiving a positive answer, Lu Ying turned her head and smiled awkwardly at Shen Qingluo.

"Senior Luo, um, this treasure hunter sometimes doesn't have a bright mind, which makes senior laugh."

"Squeak!!!"

The treasure hunter rat's angry protest came from her mind, but Lu Ying simply chose to ignore it.

It was obviously an ordinary tree, but it was said to be a treasure, which made her lose face in front of Senior Luo. If Senior was not still here, she would have taught this stinky rat with a very bad temper a lesson.

On the side, Shen Qingluo looked thoughtfully at the maple tree in front of him.

The reason why she stopped at Maple Leaf Forest was because the system reminded her that there was a small opportunity here.

I thought it was related to the state of mind, but now it seems that is not the case.

The current reaction of the treasure hunter mouse is that although this maple tree does look very ordinary, there may be another mystery behind it.

At this time, the treasure-hunting mouse stretched out its mini paw, pointed at the maple tree in front of it, and kept squeaking.

Lu Ying thought it was noisy, so she crouched down and lifted up its tail, picked up the treasure hunter again, and through a contract, cast a spell to make it temporarily unable to make a sound.

The treasure hunter's round little eyes stared, very dissatisfied with this approach, and kept shaking its body, trying to get rid of its restraints.

Although it is a second-level monster, it mainly hunts for treasure after all. In addition, Lu Ying is its master and does not dare to attack, so it will not be able to break free for a while.

Shen Qingluo couldn't help but laugh when he noticed the movement of a person and a mouse beside him.

At this time, Lu Ying said with a hint of apology: "Senior Luo, this treasure-hunting rat is really noisy. I will take it back first. Bailing Valley is more than seventy miles northeast of here. The Lu family is in the southeast of the valley. Senior is welcome to go there at any time. Visit." After hearing this, Shen Qingluo nodded and said hello.

Lu Ying saluted her and quickly left with the treasure hunter.

After the woman left, Shen Qingluo's eyes fell on the maple tree in front of him again.

I released my consciousness and observed carefully, but I couldn't detect the existence of any spiritual energy.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to split the tree open to see what was inside.

He gathered a spiritual power at the fingertips of his right hand and swiped forward in the air. The next moment, a click sound sounded from his ears.

The maple tree split through it, but not completely in half.

A very dark light shines from the center.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Shen Qingluo was a little surprised.

There is actually a black flame crystal in the center of this maple tree.

This object is extremely hard. Although it has no spiritual energy, it is one of the indispensable materials for refining magic weapons.

Although the Black Flame Crystal is not very rare, it is still valuable.

Under normal circumstances, this thing would not grow in a maple tree.

Black flame crystals generally exist next to volcanoes, and not every volcano is found, let alone there are no volcanoes within a hundred miles.

For a moment, Shen Qingluo was very curious, how did this object appear in the heart of the maple tree?

After thinking for a long time, she thought of a possibility.

During the growth of this maple tree, there may have been monks fighting nearby. The black flame crystal carried by one of them accidentally fell and hit the maple tree.

As time went by, as the maple tree gradually grew, the black flame crystal was slowly wrapped in the trunk.

This speculation is very close to the truth.

Hundreds of years ago, several monks fought in this area. One of them lost and was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Because of their unwillingness and the fact that they did not want the treasures they carried with them to be taken away by the enemy, the defeated person chose to self-destruct and die with the enemy.

When it self-destructs, the huge destructive force produced will destroy all the storage bags and storage rings that are carried with it.

Most of the things inside were destroyed by self-explosion, and a few were scattered everywhere by the shock wave, and the black flame crystal was one of them.

The object just hit the maple tree, and after a long time, it was completely embedded in the tree.

Although the treasure-hunting mouse came over, it only knew that this maple tree was different from the others and could not describe the specific situation, so Lu Ying did not believe it before.

Shen Qingluo carefully removed the black flame crystal. The object had an irregular shape, with pits on the surface, about the size of a fist, and was completely black.

She held it in her hand and observed it for a while. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, she put it into the storage ring.

He looked at the maple tree again. The cracked area could not be restored, but the roots of this maple tree were intact, so it was very likely to survive.

Thinking of what Lu Ying said about Bailing Valley, Shen Qingluo recalled the plot in the book.

After Murong Xue established her foundation, she traveled with her master Mo Li, traveling to almost all four continents, including the Bailing Valley.

There, Murong Xue contracted a black snake.

According to the original book, this black snake later awakened its innate magical power, and its extremely poisonous poison specifically targeted the monk's Dantian, and helped her kill many opponents during the Three Sects' discussion of Taoism.

Six of the monks killed by the black snake were Taisheng Sect disciples.
