Chapter 259: Flooding the sinkhole and the magical soul crystal
Translator: 549690339
The military helicopter flew over the river, and Wanderers could be seen moving around the river from time to time.
While the sudden flood destroyed countless lives, it also brought a new source of food for the Wanderers.
They formed groups and wandered around the river, trying to catch fish and shrimp in the water. Their harvest was quite good.
During this period, some unlucky guys were swallowed by the water monsters, but it still couldn’t stop the Wanderers ‘enthusiasm for fishing.
When the Wanderers saw the armed helicopter, they subconsciously started to hide, treating it as a flying monster.
From the terrified expressions on their faces, it could be seen that flying monsters were almost the top predators in the wilderness. They were also one of the monsters that the Wanderers were most afraid of.
Tang Zhen did not have the intention to tease these Wanderers. After briefly checking the ruins of Redwater city and earth Valley City, Tang Zhen continued to head towards the end of the river.
The further away they were from the Holy Dragon City, the more monsters there were in the river. Tang Zhen even saw a Lord-tier monster.
When the water monsters passed by the Holy Dragon City during the day, they would definitely be killed. Therefore, Tang Zhen concluded that they should have swum across the river in front of the Holy Dragon city at night.
It might be the nature of these water monsters to hide in the day and come out at night, or they might be under some kind of control.
No matter what the reason was, Tang Zhen could confirm that these water monsters ‘destination was the end of the river downstream of Holy Dragon City!
After making this discovery, Tang Zhen was even more eager to find out where the end of the river was.
After flying for about an hour and passing by several buildings, a huge sinkhole suddenly appeared in Tang Zhen’s vision!
In this desolate area, there were Plains everywhere, making this sinkhole look extremely out of place.
The area of the sinkhole was extremely large. In Tang Zhen’s map, he could not see the end.
At the edge of the sinkhole, there was an extremely deep and huge ravine. The surging river water filled it and flowed into the sinkhole.
With the influx of a massive amount of water, the sinkhole would gradually be filled up, and the Hydra would be able to run wild in it!
After Tang Zhen maneuvered the assault Helicopter around, he found a concave area and slowly landed on the ground. He then kept the helicopter into his storage space.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was dressed neatly. A pistol and a saber hung from his waist. He was wearing a slightly old leather jacket and looked like a Wanderer in the wilderness.
After looking around, Tang Zhen began to walk toward the sinkhole.
When he was circling in the air earlier, Tang Zhen had discovered the traces of many cultivators. They seemed to be searching for something in the sinkhole.
Perhaps he could get more information from these people.
Tang Zhen quickly passed through the weeds and soon arrived at the edge of the sinkhole. He also encountered a group of human cultivators.
After seeing Tang Zhen walk out from the wild grass, these people began to size him up with vigilant eyes.
“Brother, are you also here to look for treasures in Tiankeng?”
A burly man with a full beard walked out from the group of cultivators and greeted Tang Zhen.
The burly man’s cultivation was at level three, so he should be the leader of the exploration team. The cultivation of his team members was uneven, and there was even a level one teenager.
From their messy equipment, it could be seen that these people were all wild cultivators and belonged to the same exploration team!
Tang Zhen nodded, but his line of sight bypassed these cultivators and looked at another exploration team not far away.
It was an expedition team made up of foreign cultivators. They looked no different from humans, but there were different kinds of strange runes between their eyebrows.
The most obvious difference was that at the back of their necks, tentacle-like tentacles were constantly dancing, as if they were detecting something in the air.
A lady wearing a mask in the exploration team coldly snorted when she saw that Tang Zhen was somewhat indifferent to her group. Clearly, she was a little angry.
The captain of the exploration team could not see Tang Zhen’s cultivation level clearly. Seeing that he had a fearless look, he wisely did not say anything.
After smilingly warning Tang Zhen to be careful, he led his team members towards the sky cavern.
Tang Zhen shook his head gently when he saw the human race’s exploration team leave. He then walked toward the foreign race’s exploration team.
This foreign tribe exploration team was talking about something. When they saw Tang Zhen approaching, two foreign tribe cultivators immediately walked out and scolded Tang Zhen,”Lowly human beings, stay away from this place!”
They treated Tang Zhen as an ordinary human cultivator who was weak but wanted to seek refuge with the alien race. Therefore, their words were not polite at all.
Tang Zhen’s footsteps didn’t stop at all. He raised his palm and fiercely slapped. A foreign race cultivator flew out and heavily fell to the ground.
Seeing that their companions had been attacked, the foreign cultivators were shocked. They drew their weapons and pounced toward Tang Zhen.
It was a pity that they did not have any chance of winning against Tang Zhen, who had the cultivation of a Lord.
In the blink of an eye, all the members of this foreign tribe exploration team were defeated by Tang Zhen.
Due to Tang Zhen holding back, their lives were not in danger. It was just that they were unable to enter the sinkhole to continue exploring.
Tang Zhen slowly walked to the captain with the highest cultivation among the foreign cultivators. He then took out a military knife and placed it on the captain’s neck.
“Tell me all the secrets of this sinkhole, or I’ll not only kill you, but also your entire team!”
Tang Zhen said word by word in the language of the foreign race.
When the foreign cultivator heard this, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He didn’t expect that Tang Zhen would attack them just for this matter!
If this foreign race cultivator knew the true reason behind Tang Zhen’s actions, he would probably be even more speechless.
The truth was that Tang Zhen didn’t like this group of foreign people. That was why he attacked them and also asked about the secret of the sky pit.
He definitely wouldn’t get an answer if he asked directly, so he called first!
The foreign cultivator knew that he wasn’t tang Zhen’s match, so he simply told him everything he knew.
It turned out that in the central area of this sinkhole, there was an extremely hard and strange stone. A thousand years ago, someone had discovered its peculiarity.
It could make a rice-grain sized magical crystal grow in the body of animals and plants.
After this kind of crystal grew in the body of animals and plants, they would have the ability to become invisible and their senses would become extremely sharp. Even cultivators would not be able to discover their traces.
However, this invisibility would lose its effect after leaving the sinkhole, so these mutated animals and plants would never leave the sinkhole.
After conducting experiments, a learned alien scholar discovered that the crystal could assist a Holy master in their cultivation. At the same time, it could effectively improve a cultivator’s perception and the strength of their physical body!
The alien scholars called them ‘soul crystals’ and were willing to buy them at a high price!
For a time, the price of these crystals, which were called ‘soul crystals’, skyrocketed, attracting countless cultivators to come and collect them. However, the harvest was very little.
Unless one was extremely lucky, no one would be able to find those invisible animals and plants.
However, an accident 1000 years ago allowed the cultivators to obtain a large number of ‘soul crystals’!
And that unforeseen event was because of the sudden flood that fell from the sky!
