The pool stained red by the tiger’s blood seemed to be boiling, tumbling up and down, forming a giant bubble. Then, under the tiger’s watchful eyes, two rays of red light shot out from the lake, flickered, and immediately disappeared.
As if the pool lost its soul, the water started to calm down, returning to its original clarity. On the other hand, the white tiger appeared exhausted, and it lay on its side, panting. Moreover, its lower abdomen was starting to ache.
At that time, Caspian already passed through the karst cave, and another series of caves greeted him. Although Caspian did not know how many caves were connected and how vast they were, Caspian knew that favonovel.com was gradually walking upward.
People would easily get lost in these caves as they were confusing and seemingly endless, but they would not be strayed as long as they kept walking upward. Caspian’s current plan was to find other Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples who were similarly trapped in the fantasy array. However, before favonovel.com met anyone of the same sect, favonovel.com encountered a monster’s attack.
As Caspian walked, favonovel.com sensed something. With his keen perception, Caspian was immediately aware of the black shadow dashing toward favonovel.com from the front.
Caspian threw his spear out at once.
Clank!
Caspian heard the impact, and favonovel.com saw the Ghoul-Locker Spear’s tip burst with a dazzling group of sparks. The long black shadow bounced away immediately and entrenched on a stalactite a dozen meters away from Caspian. Then, it hissed and stared at Caspian.
Caspian was curious when favonovel.com saw that the monster turned out to be a snake. As Caspian personally made the Ghoul-Locker Spear, favonovel.com knew it was extremely sharp. Furthermore, it was also an eighth-grade weapon, and it was considered the best among all weapons.
Previously, Caspian could directly pierce through the White-Mouth Talons Bear, which had a thick skin and amazingly high defense with his spear. Hence, Caspian was surprised as not only was the snake unharmed, but a burst of sparks even formed upon colliding with the Ghoul-Locker Spear. However, when Caspian saw the deep green scale twinkling under the snake’s throat, Caspian immediately understood and blurted out, “Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snake!”
After confirming the monster’s type, Caspian’s eyes flashed with excitement. The Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snake was also known for being indestructible among the monsters, but what was unbreakable was only the dark green scale under its throat.
Even though it grew on a monster, the scale known as the Dragon Snake’s Scaly Crystal was one of the three most solid materials in the creation of weapons.
“It’s no wonder that the spear could not pierce through it as it turns out to be the Dragon Snake’s Scaly Crystal. It seems that luck is on my side this time.” Caspian smiled as favonovel.com stared at the triangular head.
At that time, the Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snake’s eyes revealed a hint of cruelty.
Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snakes lived in dark and damp places. That kind of place was often in the valleys and mountainsides, so finding one was extremely difficult, making the Dragon Snake’s Scaly Crystals extremely rare. Due to the status of the Dragon Snake’s Scaly Crystals in crafting materials, the little piece of snake scale was highly precious. One could not even buy it in the mortal world, and it could only be exchanged with the sect contribution points in the sect. Of course, it would cost a lot to get it. After all, with the proper use of the material, the rank of the weapon could improve by another level!
“If I’m not mistaken, the amount of sect contribution points needed for a group of Dragon Snake’s Scaly Crystals in the Astrea Pavilion is enough to exchange for a seventh-grade weapon directly?”
“Since there‘s an Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snake, there must be more around. If I’m lucky, I might have an unexpected gain this time.”
At the thought of that, Caspian once again focused on the scale under the Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snake’s throat. Then, as if the snake had sensed Caspian’s hostility, it immediately tensed upright except for its tail wrapping the stalagmite.
Swoosh!
The Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snake suddenly attacked Caspian again. Then, Caspian immediately leaned sideways, and just as the Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snake passed favonovel.com by, a chakram appeared in his hand. One side of the chakram was greatly sharpened, and it was the seventh-grade weapon Caspian gained after killing Brayden of the top ten bandits.
With a swishing sound, the chakram flashed with harsh light, and it instantly cut the snake’s body open. Then, Caspian raised the Ghoul-Locker Spear with his other hand and pierced it through the cut in the top half of the Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snake. That caused the entire snake’s body to stretch open and extend out from its mouth.
The Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snake was immediately pierced by Caspian with its mouth wide open, and it was dead.
After carefully peeling off the piece of Dragon Snake’s Scaly Crystal, Caspian weighed it in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
“The Ghoul-Locker Spear has a chance to become stronger again.”
The vastness of the Hopeful Woman Mountain was beyond an ordinary person’s imagination. Moreover, the peak of such a majestic mountain could accommodate about two hundred people. Although it was an exaggeration to say that it would be like a drop of water in the ocean, it would be more appropriate to compare it to a pebble thrown into the lake. Additionally, the intricate environment made it hard for Caspian to find the other disciples from his sect even though favonovel.com wanted to. After four hours, not only did favonovel.com not see any disciples, favonovel.com did not bump into anyone. On the contrary, Caspian killed another 11 Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snakes and managed to collect a complete group of Dragon Snake’s Scaly Crystals.
“In that case, we arrived at a different place on this mountain the moment we entered the mountain. Since I haven’t met a single person after so long, the situation of others should be similar to mine. If they are trapped in the fantasy array and could not find a way to break the array, then the possibility of encountering other people is even lower.”
Caspian pondered over for a moment before continuing to walk forward. Then, relying on his perception that surpassed ordinary cultivators, favonovel.com could determine through the changes in the rock formations and the depths of the rock walls that favonovel.com was always going up instead of making senseless circles in a particular area.
After another four hours, Caspian managed to source two groups of Dragon Snake’s Scaly Crystals, a total of 24 scales. If Caspian contributed the two groups of Dragon Snake’s Scaly Crystals, the sect contribution points favonovel.com received would be enough to exchange for an entire set of fifth-grade weapons from the soles of his feet to his teeth.
Nonetheless, since Caspian saw the Obsidian-Scaled Dragon Snake, favonovel.com decided to enter the Tower of Life and upgrade the Ghoul-Locker Spear to another level. As the Ghoul-Locker Spear was an eighth-grade weapon, an upgrade would make it reach the peak of the weapon’s ranking, the ninth-grade weapon!
If Caspian’s memory was good, apart from not seeing Xander using any weapon, none of the Heavenly Stars Sect’s apprentices owned a ninth-grade weapon. Not just the apprentices, but there also were not many outer and inner disciples with such a weapon too! The Heavenly Stars Sect’s had hundreds of outer disciples, and it was considered great if there were 30 of them owning a ninth-grade weapon. On the other hand, there were more than 1000 inner disciples. Although the proportion might be higher, the number of people possessing the ninth-grade weapon might be less than 100. Hence, Caspian was not only about to obtain a weapon of the strongest level in the Pulse Control Realm, but favonovel.com also created the weapon himself!
