Chapter 502: Gentleness Deserving of Death

When a fey’s mobility was strong enough, it could run as much as it liked, even in churning quicksand.

It was just that the Giant Cattle were far too heavy, so they could only ensure that their heads did not sink under the quicksand during the struggle.

In the meantime, their entire bodies were submerged in the quicksand, save for a small part of their backs.

Even so, no matter how much Lin Yuan made the Source Sand drag the Giant Cattle downward, they could still move in the quicksand using their own strength.

The only difference was that the speed at which the Giant Cattle moved was really as slow as that of an old cow pulling a cart.

Seeing the situation, Lin Yuan immediately let the Source Sand use its exclusive skill of Gravel Spirit Acceptance, which was equivalent to the combat power of the Platinum III/Elite Heart-Penetrating Ironline, to kill the Diamond Giant Cattle.

However, at that very moment, Lin Yuan somewhat helplessly realized that even if the Source Sand’s Gravel Spirit Acceptance could penetrate the Giant Cattle’s body, it would only penetrate half a meter of flesh.

This was not enough to fatally wound the 15-meter-long Giant Cattle.

After such effort, Lin Yuan finally understood the bitterness of a mosquito in the summer.

Some people with thick hair or rough skin were akin to a nightmarish blow to the hungry mosquito.

After a hard night’s work, not only would it be unable to suck even a drop of blood, its bloodsucking needle would also be blocked by dander.

However, Lin Yuan did not believe in evil and continued to direct the Heart-Penetrating Ironline towards the Giant Cattle’s weakest spot.

Yet, the Giant Cattle actually clamped its tail tightly between its legs, completely protecting its fragile place.

Lin Yuan curled his lips and took a few Heart-Penetrating Ironlines of greater strength than Platinum III/Elite out his leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box.

After a simple test, he directly replaced the Gravel Spirit Acceptance’s previous Platinum III/Elite Heart-Penetrating Ironline with a Platinum V/Flawless one.

The needle on this mosquito’s mouth was directly upgraded, although only by two small grades.

Nevertheless, the quality was also upgraded by one level.

The Platinum V/Flawless Heart-Penetrating Ironline was already able to completely penetrate the Giant Cattle’s body and wander within it. The Heart-Penetrating Ironline then did its job of piercing the Giant Cattle’s heart.

For a moment, each of the Giant Cattle appeared to be suffering tremendous pain in all four hooves.

They all emitted one last sound before they ceased to struggle, taking the spirit qi professionals on their backs down into the quicksand with them.

This scene only served to inspire horror in Liu Jie and Zhou Luo.

Lin Yuan’s sea of sand was not as simple as it looked on the surface. There was clearly an entire cosmos lying within its depths.

It was as though there was a demon lurking in the dark, holding a scythe, ready to harvest the lifeforms in the sea of sand at any time.

Zhou Luo and Liu Jie had just witnessed how Lin Yuan had thrown the alien insect Heart-Penetrating Ironline into the sea of sand.

Presumably, the demon beneath the deep sea of sand was related to the dead Heart-Penetrating Ironline that Lin Yuan had thrown into the sand.

Only the specific connection between the two remained unknown.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Luo and Liu Jie saw Lin Yuan taking a large quantity of Bronze ferromanganese and one cubic meter of Day and Night Spirit Silver out of his fey storage box.

Lin Yuan threw both of these spiritual materials into the quicksand vortex formed by the Source Sand.

Since the Source Sand had upgraded from Fantasy I to Fantasy II, its dedicated skills had all been strengthened as well.

Besides the Gravel Spirit Acceptance being able to accept stronger fey, the Metal Consume Manifestation could now also devour more metal.

The shape the Source Sand took during the change also became more refined.

One had to know that the Source Sand had only absorbed around half of the Mountain-Containing Embryo.

The Source Sand’s remaining half was still holding the earth-elemental pearl produced by the Thick Earth Elemental Shellfish, fondling the pearl like an old man.

After the Mountain-Containing Embryo that it had previously absorbed changed its abilities, the Source Sand could also produce Close Guard Sand with three more layers than before.

For Lin Yuan, the increase in Close Guard Sand was tantamount to once again improving his own defense abilities.

Liu Jie was letting the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects gnaw on the recently deceased Diamond Giant Cattle while urging the Insect Queen to use its Blast Recovery to explode the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects to recover its energy from the large amounts of fey flesh and bones inside the insects’ bodies.

The churning sea of sand’s interior was akin to a chain of farts, continuously emitting puffing sounds.

Previously, Lin Yuan had always believed that his contracted Red Thorn was not good to the child ramets and ramets that it had bred.

Yet, seeing how Liu Jie’s Insect Queen was using her insects now, Lin Yuan felt that Red Thorn was really a warm and lovely plant.

Of course, the most important thing was the damned gentleness with which Red Thorn treated the child ramets and ramets that it had spawned.

In actual fact, when Lin Yuan launched the quicksand’s large-scale attack this time, he did not deplete much of the spiritual power in his body.

In the seabed, a large amount of gravel had already been created. This large-scale quicksand was, to a large extent, the instinctive behavior of the Source Sand as an elemental source-type item.

The real consumption of spiritual power occurred when he let the Source Sand use its exclusive skill to drive the Heart-Penetrating Ironline into the Diamond Giant Cattle to kill them.

In a short while, a small vortex of quicksand appeared at the Lava Dragon Lizard’s feet.

Several golden discs were directly spat out of the vortex.

Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he jumped down from the Lava Dragon Lizard’s back.

He picked up these 30 golden discs and inspected them one by one.

Following which, he realized that these golden discs were entirely identical to the ones that he had previously obtained.

The only difference lay in a light discrepancy in the size of the hole within each disc.

Lin Yuan’s eyebrows raised in joy. The happiness he felt after obtaining these golden discs was infinitely greater than that he felt after obtaining some precious spiritual ingredients.

As the number of spirit-qi consumers in his Spirit Lock spatial zone increased, the energy ores originally stored within the golden discs were also consumed more and more quickly.

Especially since there were now a total of seven Bronze/Legend Elemental Shellfish continuously producing elemental pearls, the consumption of spirit qi had increased exponentially.

Hence, Lin Yuan needed to replenish the energy ores in the golden discs at short intervals of time.

Now, with 30 golden discs at hand, this no longer posed an issue.

Lin Yuan’s trivial troubles were finally reduced.

Even if Morbius’ Spirit Lock spatial zone evolved or too many spirit-qi consumers joined, Lin Yuan could handle it completely.

At the same time, he could not help but think that since the suicide squad sent by the enemy possessed golden discs, then others must also have them.

Just as Lin Yuan was ruminating over these golden discs, a violent spatial fluctuation came from the distance.
