Chapter 087 The Evil Jade Pendant
The third update.
———
The only light source in the cave at the bottom of the lake is the invisible barrier at the entrance of the cave. Yang Ming could not tell the time at all. However, Yang Ming didn't care about this. When he was hungry, he ate some wine and food carried in the storage bag. After eating the wine and food, he crossed the barrier beside the cave, using the cold iron sword as a harpoon for some fish and shrimps at the bottom of the lake that were attracted by the light, and then found some dry vines and plants in the cave to make fire and eat.
It is worth mentioning that the barrier can not only be able to block water, but also has a certain defensive effect. Ordinary fish, shrimp, snakes and insects have no ability to break in.
Those who can break in are all big guys. These big guys can grow so big at the bottom of the lake, so they are naturally very powerful, but they obviously cannot threaten Yang Ming, because those who can cause threats have long been solved by monster spiders.
Otherwise, when the spider is alive, he will not need to go to the shore to find food.
In addition, there are some monster-level fish and snakes at the bottom of the lake, but they all know that this is the territory of monster spiders, and there is no water in the cave, so they cannot take advantage of the monsters in the water, so they will not come to provoke them at all.
Now that the spider is dead, the aura is still there, Yang Ming is not at all dangerous. Yang Ming even found that it was probably because there were scattered spiritual veins at the bottom of the lake, and many of the fish, shrimp and other things in the lake were great things. Although it could not satisfy the monster spider, it was comparable to tiger bone wine for Yang Ming.
When you are hungry, you will naturally fall asleep when you are sleepy. However, while healing and practicing, Yang Ming also specially cleaned up a lot of garbage in the cave at the bottom of the lake. So the cave became much spacious and cleaner, and it also looked more like a deserted cave.
In addition, Yang Ming also found some useful things when cleaning the cave.
First of all, the bodies of the two outer disciples were all in cocoons, and they were obviously caught by spiders as food reserves.
Because the spider silk is highly poisonous, they did not survive like Yang Ming, and they might have died before they arrived here. When Yang Ming discovered them, their bodies were completely decayed. If it weren't for the two waist cards, Yang Ming would not have been sure that the corpse was them.
As for other items other than waist cards, including weapons and disciple robes, they were already rotten, which made Yang Ming feel quite grateful, and there was also a trace of regret that he had not been able to gain more.
Fortunately, with these two waist cards, Yang Ming will definitely get most of the mission rewards after he returns. Moreover, even if the two outer disciples have relics, Yang Ming may not really stay. Because of the deaths of these two outer disciples, Yang Ming, who is also a disciple of the outer disciple, is a little sad and sympathetic.
As for other cocoons, there are mostly rotten beast corpses, which are useless to Yang Ming. However, Yang Ming stripped a lot of black spider silk from the cocoon. After returning to Tongxuan Peak, these black spider silks can be sold for gold and silver, and even used directly to refine weapons.
Secondly, Yang Ming also found a nest of ten animal eggs in the corner of the cave, each of which was the size of an egg, dark and shiny, and exuded a hint of black air. It was obviously the spider eggs laid by the spider.
At the same time, this also explains a question. Why does the spider store food, obviously reserved for these little spiders that are about to hatch.
However, after the previous battle, nine out of ten of these eggs became coke, and only one survived, but I don’t know if they had become dead eggs. This made Yang Ming feel quite regretful. After all, these are eggs laid by monsters, and they are all monsters hatched, and they can be raised as spirit beasts, so they are naturally of high value. Fortunately, the last spider egg still has a glimmer of hope of hatching, so it is a big surprise.
If there are animal eggs, there may be two spiders. This made Yang Ming quite nervous at this time. However, there was no movement later. Yang Ming then confirmed that only one of the spiders was dead. After all, monsters, especially insects and snakes, are very different from humans. They have hermaphrodisiac phenomena, and it is not surprising that they can reproduce alone.
Finally, Yang Ming found a strange black jade pendant under the surviving animal egg. The black jade pendant was engraved with a skull on the front, and there was nothing on the back. Its aura was the same as that of the spider, and even more powerful and weird than that of the spider. It should be the main reason why the egg survived.
Yang Ming even suspected that there had been powerful existences in this cave, and the jade pendant was the relics of that existence. The monster spider was affected by this black jade pendant to spray out black flames and possess such strange toxicity.
As for what the jade pendant is and who the original owner of the jade pendant is, Yang Ming cannot speculate. The only thing that is certain is that this jade pendant is definitely not from the sword immortal Ren Qingfeng, because the aura of this jade pendant is too strange and even very evil, and must have come from some evil heretic.
Even so, this jade pendant is still a treasure. Yang Ming hesitated for a moment and finally put it away. After all, things are dead and people live, and holding evil things can also do justice. Holding beautiful things may not be an evil person.
At the same time, Yang Ming also tried the effect of the blood-colored liquid during the days of healing. He grabbed a live fish and used a little diluted blood-colored liquid, and the fish instantly exploded and died. Obviously, like the green liquid, this blood-colored liquid contains too much sword energy and cannot be eaten directly.
He used the dagger again, and found that there was no response. He used the aquatic plants and then found that the blood-colored liquid, like the green liquid, could be absorbed by plants and trees, and played a similar role. So he did not hesitate to use the blood-colored liquid at the root of the spiritual tree.
As a result, the root system of the spiritual tree, which had no sign of resurrection for several days, did not react at that time. After a while, it began to regain its vitality, and after a while, it sprouted again. Even so, the spiritual tree did not stop growing until it grew to half a human height and produced a purple-red fruit the size of a pigeon egg and emitting a strange fragrance.
This discovery surprised Yang Ming. He knew that from then on, not only could the plants and trees be refined into green liquid to cultivate spiritual herbs. Animal flesh and blood can also be used. The only difference is that green liquid can be directly absorbed. The blood-colored liquid is more like fertilizer, which has slow effect but also has a greater effect.
Of course, if the effect is strong, the spirit beast's flesh and blood must be. The target must be dead objects, otherwise the Qiankun sword bag will not emit a breeze at all. Yang Ming once tried fish and shrimps. The one who is alive cannot be dead. However, it is not a spirit beast. The blood-colored liquid condensed can be almost ignored.
