C321 Little Monster
C321 Little Monster
Of course, Qi Zhuohao actually did not have much to prepare. Time was pressing. Although he had enough Essence Recovering Pill, his cultivation level couldn't be raised to the seventh layer of Huayuan. In terms of martial skills, Qi Zhuohao's Cloud Breaking Nine Circles Kill was already at large success, and he didn't have the second part of the Hot Flame Palm.
Currently, Qi Zhuohao wasn't in a hurry to cultivate. After returning to his bedroom, he called out the Fire Crystal Coffin.
As the Fire Crystal Coffin's lid slid open, through the raging flames, Qi Zhuohao saw the palm-sized Dawn Bell and the purple Stone Egg the size of a football, as well as the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow that looked like a white snake.
When he first obtained the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow, Qi Zhuohao had suppressed it within the Fire Crystal Coffin. He did not dare to take the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow out. Once he lost the suppression of the Fire Crystal Coffin, the terrifying cold energy of the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow would freeze the entire Great Desolate City into an ice zone. That would be a disaster!
Qi Zhuohao didn't care about the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow. He took out the Dawn Bell. The palm-sized Dawn Bell instantly became bigger. Before refining the Dawn Bell, and without the help of the Fire Crystal Coffin, Qi Zhuohao would not be able to change the size of the Dawn Bell. The size of the Dawn Bell changed on its own. Previously, it had been suppressed by the Fire Crystal Coffin to become smaller. Now, it had broken free from the suppression of the Fire Crystal Coffin and returned to its original state.
Qi Zhuohao's heart was filled with excitement and shock. Ordinary Half Divine Artifact could not change the size of their body. Only a Divine Artifact could have that ability, but a Dawn Bell could actually change its size. This proved that this Dawn Bell was indeed extraordinary. It was an extraordinary treasure!
In order to refine a Half Divine Artifact, an Essence Incarnating Stage warrior would need at least a year and a half. Even with Qi Zhuohao's pure nine elemental Yuan energy and the support of his Heart Energy, he would need at least two to three months.
And even if he refined the Dawn Bell, Qi Zhuohao, who did not have much profound energy at the moment, would not be able to use it either. Therefore, Qi Zhuohao was not in a hurry to refine the Dawn Bell, because he currently had nothing else to do. He had no choice but to refine the Dawn Bell to kill time.
Of course, Qi Zhuohao could actually cultivate the Swift Wind Flowing Shadow Step and Frozen For Ten Thousand Miles Martial Arts, but the difficulty of cultivating these two great martial skills was extremely high. In just one or two months, Qi Zhuohao wouldn't be able to cultivate any special skills.
Qi Zhuohao had already decided that he would wait until he broke through to the Truly Essence Stage before cultivating these two great martial skills. That way, his cultivation speed would be much faster.
After cutting his wrist, Qi Zhuohao dripped a few drops of blood onto the Dawn Bell. Then, he sat cross-legged in his bedroom and began refining the Dawn Bell. The Dawn Bell had been placed in the Heavenly Fire Pit by Great Master Hongyuan for thousands of years. It had been completely refined.
With Qi Zhuohao's cultivation realm, refining the Half Divine Artifact Dawn Bell was really too slow. Qi Zhuohao was very helpless. Even if he refined the Dawn Bell day and night, he would need at least forty to fifty days to refine it. This was still a conservative estimate.
There was no shortcut to refining an artifact. He had to refine it himself. It would definitely consume a lot of time!
Half a day later, Qi Zhuohao slowly opened his eyes and summoned the Fire Crystal Coffin again. He could feel that something strange was happening inside the Fire Crystal Coffin. Without a doubt, it was the Stone Egg that had changed.
The Stone Egg was still lying inside the Fire Crystal Coffin, but it was no longer as quiet as before. It was trembling violently. Qi Zhuohao looked at the Stone Egg with a serious expression. He knew that the Stone Egg was going to split open, and the thing inside was going to come out.
Qi Zhuohao was very nervous. The six layers of eggshell in Heavenly Fire Pit could easily poison him to death. This purple Stone Egg must be filled with deadly poison. From this, it could be seen that the deadly poison inside the Stone Egg was even more powerful!
Qi Zhuohao even thought that if the thing inside the Stone Egg left the Fire Crystal Coffin, would it have any effect on Great Desolate City?
The answer was yes, but Qi Zhuohao was very clear about it. Because the heavenly fire brought the Stone Egg, it caused the area within a thousand mile radius of the Beast Travel Mountain to turn into a land of death. Once the thing inside the Stone Egg broke free from the suppression of the Fire Crystal Coffin, it would definitely cause the living beings of the Great Desolate City to be enveloped in a deadly poison. It might even turn Great Desolate City into a land of death!
Qi Zhuohao had no choice but to make a plan. He had already decided that even if the thing in the Stone Egg broke out of its shell, he would not let the monster leave the Fire Crystal Coffin. The thing in the Stone Egg was a threat to him and all the living beings in Great Desolate City. It was no less threatening than the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow inside the Fire Crystal Coffin!
With the suppression of the Fire Crystal Coffin, Qi Zhuohao believed that the things in the Stone Egg wouldn't be able to pose any threat to Great Desolate City. The Fire Crystal Coffin could suppress everything, and at the same time, the Fire Crystal Coffin could suppress the thing within the Stone Egg. It could also control all the abilities of that thing.
Qi Zhuohao was not sure if the thing in the Stone Egg was a plant, an animal, or an insect. He was also very curious. There were seven layers of the Stone Egg that wrapped it. And... It had been nurtured in the Heavenly Fire Pit for thousands of years before it broke out of its shell. What exactly was the thing inside this Stone Egg? To him, was the thing inside the Stone Egg good or bad?
After patiently waiting for seven to eight minutes, a tiny crack finally appeared on the Stone Egg inside the Fire Crystal Coffin. Soon after, the crack gradually increased, and with a series of cracking sounds, the Stone Egg finally cracked open.
When the purple eggshell completely shattered, Qi Zhuohao could not help but open his mouth wide. He never expected that the thing inside the Stone Egg would be such a beautiful monster. What exactly was this thing?
Qi Zhuohao was speechless and confused. It was a beautiful purple butterfly. The wings of the butterfly had incomparably beautiful patterns. Those patterns seemed to be very mysterious, but Qi Zhuohao could not understand them.
This butterfly was not a real butterfly. Because it had a pair of wings. The other parts of its body are not even close to a butterfly. Strictly speaking, it was a strange ant with butterfly wings!
That's right, it was just an ant. The body of the ant was also purple. However, the color of its body was lighter than its wings, and there were strange and complicated patterns on its head, body, legs, and tentacles. The ant was only six inches long, and its wings were wide open. It was almost two feet long, and it looked both beautiful and terrifying!
"It's a giant ant with butterfly wings!" Qi Zhuohao was shocked. He did not understand what kind of monster it was. Ants were poisonous, but ants were far worse than snakes and scorpions. It was hard for him to believe that Beast Travel Mountain was turned into a land of death because of this strange ant.
Qi Zhuohao could feel that the strange ant was surrounded by an invisible deadly poison. Fortunately, the Fire Crystal Coffin was there to suppress it. Otherwise, the invisible poison would have spread and brought disaster to the Great Desolate City!
The beautiful wings flapped gently, and the strange ant stretched its body. It was very human-like. Immediately after, a creepy scene happened. The strange ant started to eat the purple eggshell, and the cracking sound only lasted for about ten breaths. The broken eggshell inside the Fire Crystal Coffin had been eaten up by the strange ants. There was nothing left!
Qi Zhuohao was very shocked. He knew that the toughness of the purple eggshell should be the same as the six layers of eggshell in Heavenly Fire Pit. Qi Zhuohao was very shocked, he knew that the toughness of the purple eggshell should be the same as the six layers of different colored eggshells in ___. Although he didn't know what kind of stones they were. But Qi Zhuohao knew that all the eggshells of the purple ants were extremely hard. This was because he couldn't leave any marks on the eggshells even with the Extreme Flame Blade.
One should know that Qi Zhuohao wanted to destroy the broken eggshells in Heavenly Fire Pit. However, in the end, Qi Zhuohao even used his martial skill, but he couldn't do anything to the broken eggshells. And this strange ant was actually able to easily eat the purple eggshells. It could be seen that... How sharp were the teeth of the strange ant?
Qi Zhuohao's heart was getting more and more shocked, and he was getting more and more confused. A total of seven layers of Stone Egg were wrapped around a strange ant. The material of the Stone Egg was unbelievable. The strange ant was even able to eat the indestructible Stone Egg. This was too inconceivable!
Unconsciously, Qi Zhuohao swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He carefully observed the strange ant. After eating the purple eggshell, the strange ant immediately turned its gaze towards the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow. Qi Zhuohao was startled. This monster wouldn't want to eat the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow, right?
Just as Qi Zhuohao thought of this, the strange ant bit on the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow. However, it seemed that the terrifying cold energy of the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow made the strange ant uncomfortable, so it gave up at the last moment.
Seeing this, Qi Zhuohao's heart immediately relaxed. Luckily, the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow itself contained a terrifying cold energy. It made the strange ant give up the idea of eating it. If the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow was eaten by the strange ant... Qi Zhuohao... It would be a huge loss!
The next moment, Qi Zhuohao's heart, which had just calmed down, tensed up once again. Because the strange ant had given up on eating the Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Marrow, but it had set its sights on the Fire Crystal Coffin. Qi Zhuohao was speechless. This monster really wanted to eat whatever it saw!
Qi Zhuohao had incomparable trust in the Fire Crystal Coffin. Hence, he didn't try to stop the strange ant. He had no way to stop it, and he didn't even dare to do so. He knew that it was a dream for the strange ant to eat the Fire Crystal Coffin!
Sure enough, the strange ant bit down on the Fire Crystal Coffin. Not only did its sharp teeth not leave a single mark on the Fire Crystal Coffin, it even... The toughness of the Fire Crystal Coffin caused its teeth to hurt. It was also shocked. It could only give up.
This was not something that could be eaten, nor could it be eaten. The strange ant seemed to be a little angry. It was like a newborn baby, its mind filled with thoughts of eating. It flapped its wings, wanting to fly out of the Fire Crystal Coffin to find something to eat. However, the invisible suppression of the Fire Crystal Coffin made it impossible for it to escape. At this moment, it seemed to understand. It had been locked up!
Fury filled the heart of the strange ant. Qi Zhuohao could clearly see that purple lightning was emitting from the body of the strange ant. The lightning crackled, as if it was venting the anger in the strange ant's heart.
"It really is a cute and strange thing!" Qi Zhuohao sighed in his heart. The strange ant did not reveal any aura of realm. So Qi Zhuohao did not know what realm it was at. He did not even know if it could cultivate.
With a thought, Qi Zhuohao took out an Illusory Nether Stone and threw it into the Fire Crystal Coffin. The strange ant was immediately overjoyed. In a short while, it completely ate the Illusory Nether Stone. Qi Zhuohao was speechless. This strange ant really ate everything!
After the strange ant finished eating the Illusory Nether Stone, it actually laid down inside the Fire Crystal Coffin and took a nap. Qi Zhuohao secretly nodded his head. It seemed like the little monster had eaten its fill. The little monster's appetite was also shocking. There were so many broken eggshells and an Illusory Nether Stone. It was actually eaten up by such a little monster. One should know that... The little monster's body was not even one-tenth of the Illusory Nether Stone!
