Chapter 75 Soak in the Spring Water and Slaughter <TOC> Chapter 77 Plundering the Monastery

In a dimly lit cave, the sound of cutting flesh echoed. The giant snake lay on the ground, as if its spine had been removed, but its massive body still made people tremble with fear.
After taking a heavy blow, the snake’s body was no longer as tough as before, but it was still difficult to cut. It was like cutting the skin of a white-haired buffalo.
He first cut open the head where the Fountain of Souls’ blood was most likely to be hiding, but found nothing except for some sticky brain matter inside the skull.
The faces all turned into sneers, and a pair of eyes stared at Li Mu fiercely.
This silent gaze was hair-raising.
“I advise you to stop this sacrilegious behavior.”
These faces spoke in unison with sharp voices.
Li Mu ignored them and continued to cut the snake meat like an experienced butcher.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you call yourself a god.”
The faces twisted in anger, becoming even more hideous, and they screamed hysterically.
“I am the Fountain of Souls, I am Dalopitda!”
These faces repeated the same sentence like a flock of crows. Their angry eyes, wide-open mouths, and flapping nostrils filled Li Mu’s entire field of vision.
If an ordinary person saw this terrifying scene, they would probably vomit uncontrollably. But Li Mu’s nerves were strong, and he continued to cut the snake’s body in a slow and orderly manner.
“Don’t deceive yourself. If you really are the Fountain of Souls, I would have gone mad the moment you spoke.”
Li Mu cut open a face without changing his expression. The giant snake had already been cut in half by him. The ferocious snake body looked like food waiting to be cooked.
“No!”
An angry face directly emerged from the snake’s body, trying to bite Li Mu.
Li Mu shook his wrist and directly cut off the face.
The face fell to the ground like a lump of rotten meat.
The increasingly crazy behavior of the giant snake indicated that it was getting closer to the blood of the Fountain of Souls.
Li Mu cut open a piece of scales, and suddenly, a completely blood-made cicada flew out from the flesh and blood.
It was very delicate, crystal clear, as if carved from the purest red crystal.
The blood cicada flew as fast as lightning and directly shot towards Li Mu’s forehead.
Li Mu had long been on guard against the fierce battle of this drop of blood. He directly blocked the blood cicada with the blade, horizontally.
“Clang!”
A loud noise echoed, and the huge force transmitted along the blade was easily absorbed by the mechanical arm.
The blood cicada shook its wings and flew up from the blade, drawing a blood line in the air, and continued to fly towards Li Mu.
Li Mu narrowed his eyes and stared at it as it flew quickly, wielding his light and agile ring sword.
A burst of sparks burst in the air, and the blood cicada was directly sliced and flew to the ground, leaving a small hole.
The blood cicada struggled to fly up. Li Mu took a pair of iron tongs from the Exile Realm and clamped it directly.
Even if he was separated by the mechanical arm, he didn’t want to rashly come into contact with this strange drop of blood.
The blood cicada struggled violently, and the tongs could barely hold it.
“So this is your true form.”
Without hesitation, Li Mu took out a crucible of molten iron from the Exile Realm and plunged the blood cicada into it.
The blood cicada bathed in the molten iron without struggling, but its eyes were fixed on Li Mu’s face with a resentful gaze.
When he took it out of the molten iron, Li Mu found that it had not changed at all. The nearly 1,800-degree molten iron couldn’t cause any damage to it.
【Item detected, extracting…】
A series of worm-like text suddenly appeared at the bottom of his vision.
The blood cicada suddenly panicked and struggled fiercely. The tongs could hardly hold it.
【Target resistance detected. Do you want to consume source essence to forcefully convert it?】
Li Mu immediately clicked “yes,” and then he saw the source essence he had accumulated in the panel almost plummet.
The blood cicada screamed at an unprecedented intensity, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying, and was about to tear Li Mu’s eardrums apart.
“You…you are!”
When the source essence dropped to single digits, the blood cicada’s screams suddenly stopped and turned into ashes falling to the ground.
【Fountain of Souls: Evaluation treasure, evolved from a drop of blood peeled off from Dalopitda’s body. It produces a handful of soul water every seven days. Warning: Overuse of the Fountain of Souls will attract the attention of the Lord of Souls.】
After the blood cicada disappeared, the densely packed faces peeled off from the giant snake’s body fell like falling leaves on the ground. The whole giant snake began to decay at an astonishing speed, even the hard bones began to turn yellow and black, becoming like rotten wood.
Not long after, the giant snake turned into a smelly pile of pus and blood on the ground.
Li Mu retrieved the iron tongs from the Exile Realm and breathed a sigh of relief. The consecutive injuries and recoveries had not been without any impact on him. This action had put a heavy burden on his body.
He felt as if his body had been emptied, a wave of weakness washing over him.
“Next up is harvest time.”
They arrived at the hidden vault in the monastery and forcefully broke open the door.
The first thing they saw were chunks of blood curse iron ingots, neatly arranged. Due to the extremely high density of the blood curse iron, the volume was not large, but it weighed several hundred kilograms.
Next to it was a heavy wooden frame, with drawers neatly arranged on top of it.
When they pulled out the drawers, they found all sorts of differently shaped ores inside.
If ordinary metals were exposed to psychic energy radiation for a long time, their properties would undergo miraculous changes, transforming into psychic metals with various extraordinary abilities.
Hollow copper was the most common type of psychic metal, and could produce an anti-gravity field when electrified.
Shen Luoyan identified these metals, reciting their names like treasures.
“This is ferroelectric stone, which can be processed into electromagnetic rails to increase the lethality of firearms through electromagnetic acceleration.”
“These pieces are Holy Silver and Starfall Iron, combined with blood curse iron, they should be able to forge a well-matched weapon.”
“These are gas pattern aluminum, which can be alloyed with other metals. The strength of the alloy is not inferior to blood curse iron, but its density is even lighter than carbon fiber.”
Apart from these relatively rare psychic metals, the rest were all hollow copper.
Even so, their value was still astonishing.
Li Mu waved his hand, temporarily storing these metals in the Exile Realm. However, these psychic metals were not the most precious things in the entire vault.
Two holy relics were properly stored in a metal box.
One was the Beast of Darkness and the other was the Soul Whisper.
The Soul Whisper could convert its language into a soul language that any creature could understand. It could also read the soul fluctuations of living beings and understand their meanings. This ability was similar to mind reading, but there could be some errors.
