Chapter 1425: Mutation

A loud noise even louder than before was issued, and countless golden lights burst on the stone stool. (Net)

But Han Li's face changed slightly. After he put away the long sword, the stone stool appeared intact again.

The exceptionally sharp Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword couldn't damage this thing at all.

A sharp light flashed in Han Li's eyes, he flicked his sleeve at the stone stool, and a silver fireball flew out.

After a light sound, the silver flame wrapped the stone stool, making a crackling sound of sparks bursting.

But the stone stool lay quietly there, still without any changes.

But when Han Li swept the surface of the stone stool with his spiritual sense, a look of joy appeared on his face.

He didn't go anywhere else, sat cross-legged directly next to the stone stool, pinched the formula with both hands, and actually activated the Spirit-Devouring Heavenly Fire to continuously smelt this thing.

From between his hands, a pure cyan spiritual power was continuously injected into the silver flame.

Just like this, time passed bit by bit, and a day and a night passed.

Han Li suddenly gave a low drink, the silver flame returned to a fire bird and peeled off and flew back, circled, and plunged into his sleeve without a trace.

And at this time, Han Li had already stood up, approached the stone stool again, and looked at it intently.

At first glance, the stone stool seemed to be the same as before, without any abnormalities. But under the blue light flashing in Han Li's eyes, there were some traces of melting on the surface, but the traces were so light that they were almost invisible to the naked eye. According to his estimation, if he really wanted to melt this thing completely, it would be impossible to think about it without decades of time.

But Han Li was not worried but happy!

For people like them who cultivate, decades of time are nothing, but this thing is so strange that it is absolutely a rare treasure.

That Venerable Baoguang didn't know how he discovered this thing. With his divine abilities, he naturally couldn't do anything to this stone stool, so he simply used this thing as the center and opened up this cave dwelling here.

Thinking of finding a way to deal with this treasure later.

Han Li guessed the actions of that blue dragon back then in a blink of an eye.

However, how to take this thing away is really a troublesome matter.

After all, this thing is so heavy that if it is collected into the storage bracelet, I am afraid it will immediately crush the storage space. It can only be taken away by the physical body.

And even if he fully activated the Brahma Saint True Demon Art, he could only take away one-third of its weight at a time. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to control the escape light.

Han Li looked at the stone and pondered for a long time.

Flicked his sleeve, a buzzing sound rang out, and two golden flowers shot out from his sleeve, circled, and immediately turned into two golden beetles the size of a thumb.

It was the mature Gold-Devouring Insect.

With a sharp cry from his mouth, the Gold-Devouring Insect immediately flew to the stone stool and began to devour it from top to bottom from two different directions.

Han Li stared at the actions of the Gold-Devouring Insect without blinking.

Although the Gold-Devouring Insect is known to devour everything, this stone stool is so strange that he is not sure if this insect can still be effective.

But the next moment, the anxiety in Han Li's heart disappeared.

Although the Gold-Devouring Insect devoured extremely slowly, after a while, two small pits did appear on the stone stool.

Sure enough, it could bite this thing.

Han Li was overjoyed.

But after only a moment, the two Gold-Devouring Insects suddenly shook their wings, and with two "puff" sounds, they fell from the stone stool, making a huge muffled sound like a heavy object hitting the ground.

Han Li was stunned.

After a long while, he raised his hand, golden light flashed, and sucked one of the Gold-Devouring Insects into his hand.

As a result, he found that the Gold-Devouring Insect was extremely heavy once it entered his hand, far exceeding the normal weight of a spirit insect.

Han Li moved his eyebrows, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes.

But fortunately, apart from being too heavy, everything else about this insect was normal, and its wings and limbs were still vibrating constantly.

Han Li watched this insect, pondered for a moment, and understood what was going on.

Obviously, with the strangeness of the stone stool material, even the Gold-Devouring Insect couldn't digest it immediately, so it devoured a small amount at a time and immediately exceeded the limit. It seems that it must go through a period of time before it can return to normal.

After understanding, Han Li put away these two Gold-Devouring Insects, but two other spirit insects flew out from his sleeve.

After the same gnawing, after a while, the two Gold-Devouring Insects also fell to the ground because they couldn't bear their own weight, and were collected by Han Li again.

But the next time, four golden flowers flew out from his sleeve...

After more than half a day, when more than a thousand Gold-Devouring Insects had been released and collected one after another, the stone stool in front of him was finally swallowed by the Gold-Devouring Insect by about one-tenth, but it was also successfully divided into three large pieces.

Looking at the three stone blocks of similar size, Han Li nodded with satisfaction.

After pinching the formula with both hands, golden light shone on his body again, and a golden phantom with three heads and six arms emerged behind his back. In a blink of an eye, it turned into a golden phantom.

Han Li leaned over, exerted force with both arms, and finally slowly lifted one of the pieces.

Although it felt like a small mountain pressing on his body, this weight was already enough to barely allow him to drive the escape light away.

Han Li curled his mouth, but put down the thing in his hand, and searched the rest of the cave dwelling carefully to see if there were any other surprises.

As a result, apart from some materials unique to the sea and some spirit stones, there was nothing else that attracted attention.

Han Li was not disappointed, rolled up all the things, and returned to the hall.

This time, he carried two of the three stone stool fragments to an extremely secret place in the cave dwelling, and then set up a hidden illusion array to cover them up.

Then, he carried the last fragment and flew out of the cave dwelling gate.

When Han Li reappeared on the sea surface, spiritual light shone brightly behind his back, and the phantom of the cyan bird and colorful phoenix flashed, and the Wind-Thunder Wings appeared.

With a flap of his wings, he suddenly turned into a crystal thread and shot out, disappearing at the end of the horizon in a flash.

The thing in his hand was extremely heavy. Even though he had used the extreme speed divine ability of the Wind-Thunder Wings, Han Li still had to stop and recover his physical strength every few hours of flight before he could continue on his way.

Three days later, Han Li returned to the cave dwelling in the Black Hidden Mountain range, and without saying a word, put the stone block into the secret room.

For the remaining two days, Han Li didn't rush to leave the cave immediately, but began to test the stone stool fragments he had obtained in other ways in the secret room.

As a result, this material was extremely hard, and no attacks such as freezing, lightning strikes, or demonic energy erosion could cause any damage to it. As for flame-type calcination, except for the Spirit-Devouring Heavenly Fire, other flames, including his Nascent Soul fire, could not melt this stone at all.

Of course, the effect of the Spirit-Devouring Heavenly Fire on the stone block was also minimal.

This is an excellent material for refining top-tier defensive treasures, but with its weight, if it is refined into an offensive treasure similar to the Meta-Magnetic Mountain, it seems that it is also extremely powerful.

After the test was completed, Han Li thought so immediately. As for how to deal with it, it naturally needs to be carefully considered.

But when Han Li's heart moved, he suddenly checked the spirit insects that had devoured this material and were lying in the spirit beast ring.

He was stunned.

These nearly a thousand mature Gold-Devouring Insects had fallen into a deep sleep at some point, as if they were about to evolve again.

His gold insects were already mature. If they evolved again, it seemed that only mutation would occur.

Han Li was naturally overjoyed.

But in this way, where to use these special stone materials seemed even more difficult to choose.

After hesitating for half a day, Han Li finally decided to see what changes these Gold-Devouring Insects would have after advancing, and then consider this matter.

Two days passed in a flash.

The third day was exactly the seven-day period set by Han Li and the ox-headed small beast.

As a result, early in the morning, not only did these two demons come to his cave dwelling, but the Golden-Haired Giant Ape and the huge wild boar also appeared there.

These demon beasts looked at the cyan light outside Han Li's cave dwelling, their eyes filled with fear, and they all waited quietly, not daring to make any noise.

It wasn't until noon that the cyan light dissipated like bubbles, revealing a huge stone gate twenty feet high.

With a "rumble," the stone gate opened by itself, revealing a passage emitting a milky white light.

"Come in!" A cold voice came from the passage.

Several demon beasts felt a chill in their hearts, but they didn't dare to disobey and walked into the passage one after another. Of course, except for the ox-headed small beast, the other demon beasts shrunk their bodies several times before they could enter the stone gate.

After a while, in an ancient stone hall of the cave dwelling, Han Li sat in the middle on a stone chair, looking down at the four demon beasts in front of him, and looked at the Golden-Haired Giant Ape twice more.

With a "thump"!

Han Li didn't wait for the demon beasts to speak, flicked his sleeve, and an object shot out and rolled to the ground.

It was a huge blue dragon head.

Seeing this thing, the small beast and the others were startled.

"This is the head of Venerable Baoguang. Now that this person has been killed, your previous transaction with him is naturally void. Since you have come here according to the appointment, you should have considered it in the past few days. Have you brought the things?" Han Li asked in an irresistible tone.

Looking at the blue dragon head in front of them, several demon beasts saw the eighth-level demon beast aura remaining on it at a glance, and everyone felt cold in their hearts.

"How could the junior have any other choice! The juniors have indeed brought the things the senior wants," the ox-headed small beast looked at the other three beasts and replied with a forced smile.

"Very good, the Wood-Bell Flowers you need are also prepared. As long as the things are satisfactory, they can be handed over to you immediately," Han Li said indifferently, then flicked his wrist at the storage bracelet.

After a white light flashed, a huge rectangular jade box appeared in his hand.

After opening the box lid, a heart-refreshing floral fragrance rushed toward his face.

The jade box was actually full of golden bells the size of a thumb, each one shining brightly, with more than a hundred of them.
