The cave was very deep, but for cultivators, it was not difficult to fall safely with the protection of spiritual energy and the support of lightness skills.
Su Yuan also silently followed everyone and jumped in. He only saw the ground when he was 500 meters underground.
When they reached the underground, everyone skillfully took out sparkling gems or sparkling talismans to illuminate their surroundings.
"How shameless. We were the ones who opened this hole, and a rogue cultivator still has the face to follow us.”
"Hehe, we're all here to take risks. Having more people is better insurance. At most, when there's good stuff, your sect disciples will have priority, and we'll just pick up the leftovers.”The leading great spirit master said obsequiously.
"Hehe, you're quite tactful." Cheng Yuzhu glanced at the middle-aged man and said," Since that's the case, you guys scout ahead and we'll cover the rear.”
"Alright, brothers, open the way." The middle-aged man, Tian Pengyun, readily agreed. He hurriedly called the secret practitioners to rush in.
There were many tunnels in the cave, winding and extending in all directions.
These tunnels were not man-made, but they were definitely not naturally formed.
Su Yuan followed the crowd and looked at these tunnels. He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be some kind of bone corroding beast in this cave.
Bone Eroding Beasts were hard-shelled monsters that ate bone, flesh, stalagmites, and the like. They lived underground all year round and were one of the ancient creatures that had long gone extinct in the outside world.
Fortunately, although these monsters were fierce, their overall strength was only at the level of a Spiritual Master. A few large Bone Eroding Beasts were only at the level of a Great Spiritual Master. In a situation where there were many people, those monsters were not a threat.
Squeak squeak…
"What's that sound?"
In the blink of an eye, an ear-piercing screech came from afar, and all the cultivators heard it.
At this moment, a monster crawled out of a dark tunnel. It bit a cultivator and dragged him into the tunnel.
"Ah, monster, save me, save me, ah, pu…"
The cultivator didn't have time to react. He wanted to resist, but the Bone Eroding Beast was too strong. It directly bit off his legs. The sound of bones shattering was heard, making people feel cold.
"What are you waiting for? Go after this monster and kill it.”
"Don't be afraid. The Bone Eroding Beast is afraid of too many people.”
Obviously, everyone had heard of this monster before and had already understood it before entering the mythical realm.
Everyone chased after him. The tunnel was very long, but it was not spacious. The deeper they went, the smaller the tunnel became. In the end, only one person could pass through.
When they caught up, they came to a spacious cave. They only saw blood all over the ground and three Bone Eroding Beasts gnawing at the cultivator.
Seeing this, the crowd didn't think about anything else. They raised their swords and rushed forward, using all kinds of spells.
However, the Bone Eroding Beast was extremely hard. When everyone saw the sunrise, it only cried out a few times before resisting.
In the end, the three Bone Eroding Beasts were killed on the spot, and a few low-level cultivators were injured.
Everyone rested on the spot, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
Not long after they entered, they had suffered heavy losses. They had not obtained any treasures yet, so they were clearly feeling uncomfortable.
Su Yuan did not stay idle. He looked at the surrounding tunnels and suddenly stood up and walked towards one of them.
Not far away, Cheng Yuzhu saw this and frowned slightly. She also stood up and followed.
The person she was most concerned about was Su Yuan, because he had been silent from the beginning to the end. He had also intentionally or unintentionally concealed his cultivation, as if he was deeply afraid that others would find out.
Seeing that the sect disciples had followed, the itinerant cultivators did not dare to stay any longer and followed.
Soon, they arrived at an underground canyon. The sound of flowing water could be heard in the pitch-black space.
Su Yuan crouched down and used a flashing talisman to illuminate the surroundings. He saw a small stream that was only a meter wide.
Everyone was overjoyed when they saw the underground water. They quickly washed their hands and faces out of curiosity.
"This water is spiritual water." Someone took a sip and cried out.
Everyone was shocked and took a sip of the water. As expected, there was a trace of spiritual energy in the water, which was close to the level of spiritual water.
Some cultivators couldn't wait to take out water bags and put them in.
If he were to bring this spiritual water out, it would be considered a treasure and could be sold for a lot of money.
Su Yuan ignored these people. He knew in his heart that this place was close to the Spirit Root Fruit.
He stood up and swam up the stream. Everyone quickly followed him, as if Su Yuan was the leader.
As expected, the more he swam upstream, the more abundant the spiritual energy in the water became.
During this period, he naturally saw many tunnels. There were many on the cliff. Sometimes, he would encounter Bone Erosion Beasts, but as long as he did not alarm them, they would not attack.
About two hours later, they arrived at an underground lake.
In front of him, a seven-colored light shone from the lake.
"Are those spirit stones?" Seeing the seven-colored light, everyone's eyes widened in shock and they could not wait to approach it.
Su Yuan turned his gaze and saw a crystal-like silver light shining at the entrance of the tunnel.
Seeing the light, he immediately climbed up. When he got closer, he saw a blue fruit the size of a bull's eye on the silver light.
This was the legendary spirit root fruit.
The Spirit Root Tree was an invisible spirit tree hidden in the spirit stone crystal.
The Spirit Root Tree could change its color according to the surrounding environment. Usually, it would be difficult to discover it unless the spirit stones were exposed.
Not only the spirit root fruit, but the entire body of the spirit root tree was a treasure. It could be said that the spirit root tree was a manifestation of the vitality of spirit stones. It could only grow in an ancient mystic realm like this, where the spiritual qi was extremely abundant.
After plucking the spirit root fruit, Su Yuan looked at the spirit root tree and kept the fruit. He had no intention of touching the spirit root tree.
By the time he jumped down again, the crowd by the lake was already in an uproar.
"So many spirit stones, spirit root fruit, spirit root tree, I'm rich, I'm rich, haha.”
The spirit stones in the lake were all middle-to-high-grade spirit stones, and there were quite a number of them. Everyone fought for them, and they were able to get some.
Some cultivators even found spirit root fruits in the lake. For a time, the envious cultivators had already started fighting.
The sect disciples could still be considered dutiful, but the itinerant cultivators could not care so much. When they saw the treasure, they drew their sabers and started fighting on the spot.
Su Yuan did not pay much attention to this scene. The sect disciples also stood in the distance and watched in surprise.
This was how the cultivation world was. When it had nothing to do with one's own interests, it had nothing to do with one's own interests. When it had something to do with one's own interests, one would fight to the death.
This scene was also seen by the Bone Erosion Beasts in the tunnel. Gradually, many Bone Erosion Beasts poked their heads out of the tunnel. They made squeaking sounds as if they were protesting and discussing.
Su Yuan was looking around. He was not interested in the spirit stones, and there were only a few spirit root fruits. In the end, he obtained two fruits. Cheng Yuzhu got one, and Yue Taihe got one.
Half of the itinerant cultivators were either dead or injured, and their overall strength was already inferior to the sect disciples.
