Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand, and said: "There's no need."
"Eh? "Young man, take some more, or else we won't be able to take so much gold from you." The two hunters handed over the straw basket to Tang Yin. No matter how much Tang Yin delayed, they still asked him to choose more. Tang Yin had no choice but to take out a few more ginseng, shook off the soil on top, and then stuffed it directly into his mouth and chewed it.
On the other hand, Tang Yin was used to this kind of taste. He had never been picky about food, not to mention that it was when he was hungry.
After taking so much gold from Tang Yin, the two hunters kindly advised him to not go any further, but Tang Yin did not take it to heart. Seeing that did not seem to care, the two hunters could only sigh heavily and pray silently in their hearts, hoping that nothing bad would happen to him.
After resting for a while, the two hunters bid farewell to Tang Yin. After earning so much gold, the two hunters were already satisfied. They did not plan to continue harvesting and wanted to leave the mountain to go home.
Tang Yin watched the two of them leave with a smile on his face, leaving behind a few ginseng he bought earlier. He ate the rest, then stood up and rubbed his hands together.
He was agile and did not need any equipment to assist him. His body was like a nimble monkey, sometimes crawling, sometimes jumping, and soon he reached the top of the stool.
When he reached the top of the mountain, the place was filled with strange stones and overgrown with weeds. Inadvertently, Tang Yin found words carved on top of a giant boulder. He used his hand to feel the mark; it had been carved with a spirit weapon. He shook his head with a smile. It seemed like explorers had already been here. Just like the modern era, people of this era seemed to be used to leaving behind evidence wherever they passed.
He curled his lips and walked to the other side of the mountain. According to the two hunters, this was the center of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. He stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down.
As the boulder fell, he counted in his mind: one, two, three, four … When he counted to ten, he heard a faint echo coming from the foot of the mountain.
It took them a full ten seconds to land on such a huge rock, which was several hundred meters deep. This was much deeper than the other side, and from this, it could be seen that the center of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was also a low valley, and a very deep valley at that.
If it was any ordinary person seeing such a deep valley by themselves, they would definitely not dare to go down, but Tang Yin did not care. He released his Spirit Qi and covered his palms with his Spirit Armor, allowing him to hold on even more firmly.
Fortunately, Tang Yin was a Spirit Cultivator of Dark, so his line of sight was not a problem. When he was halfway down the mountain, the humidity increased and the mountain rocks were covered with moss, which was wet and slippery. At this time, the spirit armor on Tang Yin's palm released its effect, and like an iron hook, it tightly gripped onto the cliff wall to prevent his body from slipping away midway.
Even Tang Yin had to expend a great amount of effort to get from the peak of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.
The entrance was narrow at the top, but the bottom was very open, and the entire place was in the shape of a gourd. It was just that the light was too dim, and if Tang Yin was not Spirit Cultivator of Dark, it would be difficult for him to see from the bottom of the valley.
Maybe it was because he had not seen sunlight for years, but there were a lot of plants here that Tang Yin had never seen or heard of before. It even made him feel that everything was new and new when he entered another world.
Some of the mushrooms were even the size of an adult's palm. Tang Yin had never seen a mushroom as big as this one, so he could not help but walk over to a Giant Mushroom and break off a piece to try and taste its scent.
But the moment he broke off the mushroom, a dense amount of black beetles surged out from their wounds and immediately climbed onto his palm, Tang Yin's reaction was extremely fast, at the same time, they immediately emitted their spirit energy and covered his entire body with the spirit armor, and at the same time, those black beetles crawled all over his body along his palms and feet, and madly bit down.
As the beetle bit into the armor, it let out creaking, creaking, and ear-piercing sounds.
What kind of strange insect was this? Tang Yin shook off a bug in his palm, and then returned his hand to protect his eyes. While he was muttering in his heart, the Fire of Darkness was born, and with a huff, his entire body was covered by the Fire of Darkness. With a hissing sound, the beetle that climbed onto his body instantly turned into spirit mist.
The beetle was tiny, numbering in the tens of thousands. However, the spirit energy that it had turned into was extremely thick and floated in the air, condensing into a ball. Tang Yin faced upwards, and with his breathing, the spirit energy slowly entered his body.
The spiritual energy of these beetles was not only purer than that of wild beasts, but also purer than that of humans. It was as if they could absorb the essence of heaven and earth.
I didn't expect these disgusting worms to have such pure spiritual energy. Tang Yin was immediately overjoyed, and completely broke apart the mushroom he broke off. Immediately, more beetles appeared. Although there were a lot of beetles, they flew around like moths to a flame when they climbed onto Tang Yin's body. Not long after, all of the beetles that crawled out of the giant mushroom were completely incinerated by the Fire of Darkness.
Tang Yin heaved a long sigh, he looked around, only to see that the valley was filled with Giant Mushrooms, there were countless of these black beetles, if he absorbed all of them, he estimated that his cultivation would increase from the Spirit Origin Stage to the Spirit Heaven Stage.
Thinking about that, he grinned. As the saying goes, unintentionally inserting a willow branch into the wall would make him want to enter the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain just to practice his Fire of Darkness. He never thought that he would encounter such a precious place that could increase his cultivation.
It was good that he could cultivate the Fire of Darkness to the realm of the Soul Combustion, but it would be even better if he could raise his cultivation to the Spirit Heaven Stage realm.
Tang Yin could not suppress the joy in his heart and immediately tried to break apart the Giant Mushroom beside him. But after breaking it apart, he could only see the white flesh of the mushroom, but not a single beetle. Tang Yin was unwilling to accept it.
"Damn it, what's going on?" Tang Yin's joy instantly turned into disappointment. Could it be that among all the mushrooms in the entire valley, only that mushroom that had beetles inside? Which one did he chanced upon? How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
He could not accept it, and did not believe that he would be so lucky. He simply pulled out the Scimitar, and with a wave of his hand, he cut several mushrooms in one go. However, just like the mushroom just now, there were still no beetles inside. When he walked out a few meters again and consecutively cut down more than twenty mushrooms, he finally saw the scene of a large number of beetles crawling out from the mushrooms. This time, he was very treasured, trying his best to not let the beetles run away and devour them all with Fire of Darkness.
After trying a few more times, Tang Yin realized that it wasn't that every mushroom had beetles within it, but that these beetles seemed to view mushrooms as their own nest, nibbling on the meat inside and living inside them. There would only be one or two beetles living within each mushroom cluster.
So it was like this! He shook his head with a bitter smile. Although the beetles had pure spiritual energy, they were too few in quantity. He didn't have the time to check which mushrooms didn't have beetles.
He did not dare to disperse his spirit armor. Instead, he closed his blades, turned his spirit into a sickle, and continued deeper into the valley. In this unknown valley, danger could be found anywhere. He did not dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness.
There were a lot of plants and animals in the valley, all of which were animals that Tang Yin had never seen before.
Some of them were soft-bodied animals that had no bones and were squirming on the ground like giant maggots. Their bodies were covered with venom, and the moment Tang Yin walked closer, the maggots were like him spitting out venom, splattering on the spirit armor, hissing and corroding the green smoke in his way.
It sprayed poison at Tang Yin and Tang Yin returned it with Fire of Darkness.
The animals in the valley all had one common point, and that was that no matter how strange and disgusting they looked, the spirit energy produced from being burned by the Fire of Darkness was extremely pure.
If he did not know how to use Fire of Darkness, if he did not know how to use Fire of Darkness s all over his body, then he would have died the moment he touched those beetles.
Spirit Cultivator could use Spirit Armor to protect her body, but it could not protect his eyes. When the beetle crawled all over his body, even if she could use her hands to protect his eyes, the beetle could still slowly chew off the spirit armor on his body.
Tang Yin viewed the living beings in the valley as treasures to increase his own cultivation, while the other people who came here recently saw these living beings as fatal demons.
He walked for a long time and arrived at the center of the valley. Only at noon would there be some sunlight shining into the valley, but there was not a single blade of grass growing here. The ground was bare, and in the center of the valley was a black hole about three meters wide.
The bottomless valley actually had bottomless caves, which made one exclaim at the creator's wonders.
Tang Yin slowly walked to the side of the cave and peeked his head inside. He didn't see anything, but a faint wave of yin aura was pouncing towards him.
He was brave enough, but he couldn't help but shiver. He subconsciously took a step back.
His mind told him not to go in, but his curiosity told him not to.
After thinking it over, he decided to go in and take a look.
Since he was already here, if he did not investigate further, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Since he did not bring any rope, Tang Yin could only crawl down bit by bit. He dissected the sickle, turned it into two Spiritual Knife, and inserted them into the cave's stone wall.
