"Roar!" Just then, Zhou Hong suddenly heard a low roar. The sound seemed to come from the bottom of the deep pit, but it was not from the sealed exotic beast.
This roar was clearly countless times weaker.
Zhou Hong immediately came to the edge of the deep pit and felt that something at the bottom of the pit was surging upwards in groups.
"There are indeed things. I wonder what level they are. Can they be used for alchemy?" Zhou Hong thought to himself.
Zhou Hong could also guess that these things must be wild beasts that grew in the deep pit. They had lived in the deep pit for a long time and had absorbed some spiritual energy drifting from another world. Therefore, if Zhou Hong guessed correctly, the things surging up at this moment could most likely be used for alchemy.
However, Zhou Hong was more worried about whether he could be a match for these things with his current strength.
About ten seconds later, suddenly, the things at the bottom of the deep pit seemed to stop, not daring to climb up anymore.
"What's going on? Why aren't they coming up?" Zhou Hong was confused.
Zhou Hong cast another spell, picked up a stone from the ground, and the stone turned into a large light bulb. Zhou Hong threw the large light bulb into the deep pit, wanting to see clearly.
Sure enough, Zhou Hong saw that on the stone walls several hundred meters below the deep pit, there were countless strange beasts, all covered in black, crawling.
However, these strange beasts seemed very afraid of the light bulb Zhou Hong threw down and dodged in all directions.
Zhou Hong understood. No wonder these strange beasts dared not come up; it turned out they were afraid of light.
It made sense. These things grew in the deep pit, which was dark all year round. Their bodies had adapted to the darkness and could not tolerate light. Otherwise, if these things had rushed to Earth directly, humans would probably have been wiped out long ago.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hong immediately extinguished the large light bulb on the roof of the cave.
As expected, after extinguishing all light sources, the strange beasts at the bottom of the deep pit began to crawl up the stone walls again. They moved very fast, as if the vertical stone walls were flat ground.
After about a few minutes, Zhou Hong saw hundreds of strange beasts crawling into the cave.
These hundreds of strange beasts had eight legs like spiders, but their heads were like black panthers.
"Roar." The next second, one of the strange beasts immediately pounced on Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong met it with a punch.
However, when Zhou Hong's fist collided with the strange beast's claws, he was immediately sent flying back. It was obvious that the strength of these strange beasts was superior to Zhou Hong's.
"Holy crap." After being sent flying, Zhou Hong was stunned. With his current strength, he couldn't even defeat one, and hundreds of them had climbed up.
However, Zhou Hong did not panic. Although he could not defeat one in a one-on-one fight, these strange beasts had a weakness: they were afraid of light. Zhou Hong could completely use this weakness to defeat them, or at least not be killed by them.
The next second, several more strange beasts pounced.
At the moment they pounced, Zhou Hong instantly lit up the large light bulb.
As expected, those few pouncing strange beasts seemed to be blind, their faces turning pale with fear. But before they could react, Zhou Hong directly pierced their brains with a "poof poof."
The rest of the strange beasts also retreated into the deep pit upon seeing the light.
Zhou Hong looked at the corpses of the few strange beasts lying on the ground and immediately dug out beast cores the size of eggs from their brains.
"Hahaha!" Zhou Hong laughed heartily. This one beast core could refine at least 20 spirit pills. Having killed only four so far, he could refine 80 spirit pills. Zhou Hong felt like a nouveau riche.
If he had so many spirit pills, he could help so many relatives and friends become masters easily. More importantly, these beast cores were very concentrated, which meant that he could begin cultivating immortality with these beast cores. This was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine before, as Earth lacked spiritual energy.
If he could cultivate immortality on Earth, he would truly be invincible. Moreover, as his cultivation strength improved, he had hope of traversing this deep pit and going to the connected world.
According to Zhou Hong's estimation, if he wanted to traverse this deep pit, his strength needed to reach at least the Kai Guang realm or the Rong He realm among cultivators.
However, it was not something that could be achieved overnight by relying on these beast cores to cultivate to Kai Guang or Rong He.
Zhou Hong stopped thinking and extinguished the light source. After a while, the strange beasts at the bottom of the deep pit slowly crawled out again and gnawed at Zhou Hong.
In this way, Zhou Hong continuously used the same method to hunt those strange beasts. These strange beasts seemed to have very low intelligence, and the same method worked repeatedly for Zhou Hong. If they were intelligent, the same method would probably not work after being used once.
One hour later.
Zhou Hong looked at the beast cores scattered all over the ground and smiled with satisfaction. Zhou Hong counted and estimated that there were over eighty beast cores.
Too much is worse than too little. Zhou Hong immediately put away the more than eighty beast cores and prepared to leave. These more than eighty beast cores would probably last him for some time.
Just then, a more heart-stopping sound came from the bottom of the deep pit, as if an even larger strange beast was coming up. Sudan Novel Network.
Zhou Hong was slightly startled and felt a hint of fear. The smaller strange beasts had already made Zhou Hong no match for them. If a larger one came, he would probably be wiped out in one encounter.
Therefore, Zhou Hong quickly left. It wouldn't be too late to come back after he returned and became a cultivator using these beast cores. By then, these strange beasts might not be his match, and even if a more powerful strange beast came up, he would have a better chance of winning than now.
Soon, Zhou Hong quickly climbed up the ground along the stone walls of the sinkhole.
After about fifteen minutes, Zhou Hong finally reached the ground.
"Senior Zhou Hong, you're finally up." Huangfu Shanhe's voice came from his ear. It turned out that Huangfu Shanhe had not left and had been waiting for Zhou Hong to come up on the ground.
"You're still here?"
"Yes, I was really worried you might encounter some danger. I didn't expect you to actually come up. By the way, what are you holding in your hand?" Huangfu Shanhe asked with some confusion, seeing Zhou Hong carrying a bundle wrapped in clothes.
"Nothing much, just killed a few strange beasts that crawled up from the bottom of the deep pit." Zhou Hong didn't intend to hide it from him.
"What? You mean? You killed the strange beasts that crawled up from the bottom of the deep pit?" Huangfu Shanhe wondered if he had heard correctly.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"My God, how is this possible? Those strange beasts at the bottom of the deep pit are very powerful. How can Earth's martial artists be their opponents? They are not on the same level. You can actually kill them." Huangfu Shanhe was stunned. It seemed he had greatly underestimated Zhou Hong's strength.
