Kill bone beasts, replace dead skeletons, and pick up money crazily
The cave entrance went straight down.
Shen Fan slid down for a full two and a half minutes.
Immediately after, the surroundings became wider, and he still hadn't touched the ground.
The next moment.
Shen Fan's Blood Wings spread behind him, and he floated in the air.
This was a simple flying technique he performed using the Blood Soul One Qi Skill after Xue Jin's guidance.
...
...
As far as the eye could see, there was only darkness.
Relying on his experience from reading a few tomb-raiding novels, Shen Fan took out a luminous pearl for illumination.
In a confined space, the air was chaotic and inevitably mixed with some special gases that would explode when exposed to fire.
Therefore, using a luminous pearl, which didn't require an open flame, was much safer.
The luminous pearl's illumination range was about ten meters.
Looking around, Shen Fan saw himself in the dark mid-air.
He looked down, but it was bottomless.
Above him was the cave entrance he had descended from; tracing along the edge of the entrance, he realized this should be the ceiling of the cave.
Then, Shen Fan slowly descended, and after about thirty meters, he finally saw the ground.
However, what met his eyes was a scene of jagged bones.
Countless human skeletons were piled up like mountains, mixed with dark brown soil, emitting a smell similar to the Qi of Death and Resentment.
Shen Fan frowned slightly, lightly covering his mouth and nose with his left hand.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As he walked on them, the sound of bones breaking immediately came from under his feet.
The crisp cracking sound made Shen Fan feel quite relieved.
“Nine Nether Corpse Puppets, emerge!”
Shen Fan waved his hand, and fifty Corpse Puppets immediately appeared around him.
A sense of security instantly spread from his surroundings.
The ground inside the cave was uneven, so Shen Fan took out ten luminous pearls and placed them on the Corpse Puppets at regular intervals.
The surrounding area, spanning hundreds of meters, immediately became brightly lit.
Looking around, the scene inside the cave was clear at a glance.
Mounds of skeletons stretched endlessly.
Shen Fan immediately used the Heaven and Earth Puppet Score to manipulate the soil and white bones beneath his feet.
Before long, a white bone, like warm jade, appeared before his eyes.
“substitute death skull!”
The so-called substitute death skull was not a complete skeletal frame that could be used directly.
If the environment was suitable and it was preserved intact, it might appear.
But most of the time, only a certain part of the body would form the bone used for a substitute death skull.
Then, it would be slowly pieced together and could only be used after engraving spirit patterns.
As bones of various shapes were excavated, one by one, piece by piece.
One of Shen Fan's qiankun bags was immediately filled.
Then, Shen Fan immediately switched to another one and began filling it.
This was no different from picking up money.
It was even faster than picking up money.
“Eighty, eighty, eighty…”
Just as Shen Fan was working with great enthusiasm.
Suddenly, a sound of bones rubbing came from behind him.
Immediately after, a huge force wrapped around Shen Fan's waist, then threw him into the air.
Almost the instant he was attacked, he activated his Blood Soul Qi to circulate throughout his body.
The power brought by the burning blood made Shen Fan want to break free from the restraint, but it was useless.
“What the hell is this?”
In his panic, Shen Fan finally saw what was attacking him.
It was a snake-shaped bone beast, a hundred meters long, composed entirely of substitute death skulls.
“Indeed, these white bones have become spirits!”
However, Shen Fan did not feel afraid; instead, he became even more excited.
This was a bone beast composed entirely of substitute death skulls!
Killing it was much faster than digging laboriously with his head down.
“Kun Ling Gathers Armor, Ten Thousand Ravines Heed the Call, Hundred-Zhang Shield Mountain Descends, All Evils Suppressed and Withered!”
“Suppress!”
The Shield Mountain Seal grew with the wind, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall Mount Tai in the blink of an eye, pressing down heavily on the bone beast.
Boom!
The entire ground trembled slightly, and Shen Fan's heart immediately leaped into his throat.
“I was careless; I hope I wasn't discovered!”
It was a pity he didn't know how to use Formations; otherwise, after coming down, a Formation covering the cave would have ensured no sound would escape.
Thus, Shen Fan waited in place for a while, and after confirming that Qiao Linger above had not issued a warning, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the bone beast, which had been spectacularly shattered like loot dropping everywhere, Shen Fan immediately collected all the bones.
“Oh dear! If only a few more came!”
Shen Fan thought, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
This was much faster than being a miner and digging himself.
As soon as his voice fell, the ground trembled slightly, and then the ground collapsed, causing Shen Fan to fall from his original position.
“Roar!!”
The collapsing ground emitted bursts of roars.
This… was actually a giant bone beast that had been hidden here all along.
And Shen Fan's position was actually the open mouth of this bone beast.
Along with the other dirt and debris, he fell down.
Shen Fan was quickly swallowed into its belly.
The bone beasts here were all composed of jade-like substitute death skull bones.
Although he was swallowed, he could still see outside through the gaps in the bones from the inside.
It was just blurry and not very clear.
At this moment, a dense Qi of Death and Resentment came from all around.
This was like the corrosive effect of gastric acid, beginning to devour and corrode the dirt, debris, and Shen Fan that had just been swallowed.
“Profound Night Corpse Venerable, Mo Wuwang!”
“Nine Prisons Zombie King, Xing Cang!”
“Appear!”
With a thought, the bodies of the two Corpse Kings were summoned by Shen Fan.
These two Corpse King bodies were the Corpse King's original Physical Body, Profound Night Corpse Venerable, Mo Wuwang, and the Physical Body he had prepared to swap into, Nine Prisons Zombie King, Xing Cang. This Nine Prisons Zombie King, Xing Cang, was extraordinary; it was the five-thousand-year-old immortal Zombie King Physical Body that the Corpse King had spent unknown amounts of effort to find in order to obtain a perfect Physical Body for himself.
It was said that when it was found, it had already developed sentience, capable of flying and escaping, seemingly becoming the legendary Drought Demon.
If not for the Corpse King subduing him with the help of the Nine Heavens Profound Lightning.
It was a pity that he hadn't had time to enjoy it before being ambushed and interrupted.
Now, they had all fallen into Shen Fan's hands.
When the two Corpse King Physical Bodies appeared around Shen Fan.
They seemed to automatically sense the familiar aura, and with a slight opening of their mouths, they completely swallowed and absorbed the surging Qi of Death and Resentment from the surroundings.
After neutralizing the invasion of the Qi of Death and Resentment, Shen Fan shook his right hand, and the Shield Mountain Seal reappeared in his hand.
This thing seemed to be the most direct way to deal with bone beasts.
“Shield Mountain Seal! Grow!”
As the Shield Mountain Seal continuously grew larger within this giant bone beast.
In the blink of an eye, this bone beast, dozens of feet long, was actually burst open by the Shield Mountain Seal.
Clatter! Clatter!!
White jade bones scattered all over the ground.
Seeing this, Shen Fan immediately began to pick them up.
“Eighty, eighty, eighty…”
Every minute and every second represented a huge sum of money arriving.
This single bone beast filled one qiankun bag.
...
...
As time passed.
Shen Fan didn't know how much time had passed outside.
Anyway, Qiao Linger would occasionally confirm Shen Fan's safety with concern.
The two cooperated well, allowing Shen Fan to calmly fill all twenty qiankun bags he had brought.
Of course, it wasn't that Shen Fan stopped filling them.
Rather, with the continuous appearance of bone beasts, they were no longer something he could contend with.
If he forcibly attacked, it would inevitably attract the attention of the people from Chixia Peak.
At that time, the gains would not outweigh the losses.
For the sake of the bigger picture, Shen Fan resisted his greed, knew when to stop, and left the cave with twenty full qiankun bags.
Then, he refilled the cave entrance before leaving with peace of mind.
