Chapter 109 – The Sleeping Black Crystal Monarch!

Digging along with the metapod all the way forward.

The rocky crevices, however, were becoming more and more spacious.

But unexpectedly, in the rock, more and more black lines appeared, and I don’t know why.

“Yuan Bao, take a look, what are these black stripes, something doesn’t feel right?”

Xu Jingnian was puzzled.

It doesn’t look like ore, but the further you dig, it gets denser and denser, which is weird ……

“A?”

Genpou lifted his paw and dug down a rock with a black stripe, then scraped at it with his paw.

However, it was found that the black lines, as if they were painted on, were gone as soon as they were scraped.

“Well, keep looking forward ……”

Xu Jingnian said.

Yuan Bao then dug forward, and the further he went, the more spacious the rock crevice became, and gradually there was no need to dig.

The black lines on the rock wall, on the other hand, appeared to be in a different condition.

On its surface, some fine black crystals appeared.

“Crystals?!”

Looking at this, the first thing that came to Xu Jingnian’s mind was, naturally, fire crystals and rock crystals.

Hurry up and let Genpou dig up a piece.

It was small, only the width of a fingernail cap, but there was no panel to determine exactly what it was through perceptual synchronization.

“A!”

Yuanbao has an offer, what is it, it knows when it eats ……

Then he took the pitch-black crystal and swallowed it into his mouth without even chewing it.

Swallow it.

It was able to perceive that the pitch-black crystal, which was even harder to digest than a stone, still couldn’t carry its iron stomach!

Only, the energy that was digested was not much, maybe a drop more than a stone.

It’s basically better than nothing.

“Ugh, it doesn’t appear to be an energy crystal, probably just a normal black crystal?”

Xu Jingnian sighed.

All that could be done was to let Genpou move on.

But the further he went, the more he realized that the rock walls around him were becoming more and more spacious, and at this point it wasn’t a rock crevice anymore.

And those black lines are denser.

The pitch-black crystals on the surface also became much larger, and the largest, even about the same size as a Yuanbao.

“Genpou, be careful.”

Xu Jingnian reminded.

All these signs made him think that there should be something unusual at the end of the road ahead.

It could be the Mighty Beast.

But it could also be a top-notch treasure!

So don’t give up exploring just because of this dissimilarity ……

But insurance.

Xu Jingnian still let Yuan Bao, after walking a little further, go down in place, digging a hole in the ground of more than ten meters.

If there is danger.

It will be possible to rocket-jet and quickly fly to this hole in the ground to avoid some of the larger beasts.

Last time I tried it, it worked!

Giving the geoducks a bad rush ……

After digging the hole, Genpou climbed out, nodding his head approvingly, pleased with his master’s current caution.

Not bad for its owner!

Moving on.

The pitch-black crystals growing out of the black lines of the rock wall were even larger, already several times larger than a dollar bill!

It was a tunnel at this point, and then the rock walls around it, including the top, were mostly taken up by pitch-black crystals.

Genpou is having a little trouble walking.

Using his claws, he tried to dig through the pitch-black crystals, but realized that they had become extremely hard.

It used its full power, and although it could dig out, it was a lot of work, so it might as well go around slowly.

And so it goes on and on.

Until, that is, the view opened up as Genpou climbed up through a stack of pitch-black crystals.

“My God!”

Xu Jingnian was stunned.

Here, it was actually an oversized crypt, or it could even be said that it was an underground world!

Looking up to the top, it was impossible to tell how high up it was, and you could only vaguely make out some crystals that were darker than night.

Like being on the surface of the earth at night time, with no boundaries around you and no idea of how high above you.

On it.

There were no more fine pitch-black crystals; on the ground, there were only super-sized pitch-black crystals, scattered everywhere.

Genpou was a little more cautious.

Got down and walked on all fours, pressed down and stalked up ……

Moving forward, penetrating underneath the pitch-black crystals that were as huge as small mountains, ah, Yuan Bao continuously explored the surroundings.

But this underground world, although very open, did not have any life present.

Of course, it’s also possible that Genpou didn’t notice.

Moving forward, though, it seems to have found the owner of this place!

Only in front of it, though the view would be obscured by many huge pitch-black crystals, unable to see the end.

But raise your head and you can see straight ahead, in the distance, a huge silhouette.

The reason for being able to see clearly.

It was because, on the surface of that huge silhouette’s body, there were many deep purple strands of light surrounding it.

In the pitch black environment, it becomes extremely obvious.

“What’s that?”

Feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression, Xu Jingnian hastily opened his eyes and flipped aside the Ten Thousand Beasts Illustrated Guide.

[Black Crystal Monarch]

[Racial Limit: Monarch]

[Information: The king of black crystals born to be a king! Until it becomes the King Realm, this Black Crystal will grow naturally without restriction.]

[Characteristics: Before becoming a monarch, in an unawakened state, not conscious, but incredibly hard.]

[Racial Skills: Born a King, Indestructible ……]

[Domain: Black Crystal Explosive Energy (A home skill that can only be used at the Lord level.)]]

[Evolutionary Path: Unknown (For every ten Spirit Beasts recorded for the iconography, the door to the path will be opened once.)]

“My god, it’s actually the upper limit of the Monarch Realm!”

Xu Jingnian shivered in fear.

Luckily, a quick glance at the description before telling Genpou to run away stabilized things a bit.

“But if this thing isn’t a monarch, it has no consciousness, so doesn’t that mean it’s still a rock?”

He felt a little funny.

Decisively, he had Yuan Bao pick up the Transcendent Telescope and look at that Black Crystal Monarch.

[Live animal detected]

[Analyzing energy levels complete!

[Lord]

“Sure enough, it didn’t grow to the Monarch Realm. That is, a mega black crystal mine of the Lord Realm!”

“A?”

Yuan Bao listened to its master, it just wanted to know if it could beat it with its strength.

“The Lord Realm, of course, can’t be beaten! But that was the normal situation, now then, can we try?”

Xu Jingnian also wanted to be bolder.

Isn’t a lord who is unconscious and won’t fight back a top tier ore?

OK, dig in ……

Yuan Bao then walked over and came underneath the huge Black Crystal Monarch, as if facing a mountain!

“Try it, can you dig it?”

Xu Jingnian was curious.

So did Genpou, and it decisively raised its claws and dug into the dark crystal.

Ding!

But it bounced right back.

“Sure is too hard!”

Xu Jingnian felt some regret.

However, Genpou came closer to take a look.

It was found that, on top of the impenetrable black crystal, its sharp claws failed to dig out a piece directly though.

But it also left a claw mark, one two centimeters deep.

Xu Jingnian was also surprised, “Eh, this Lord Realm Black Crystal, it doesn’t seem like it can’t be dug?”

“A!”

Genpou nodded.

Then swung his claws again!
