Each leaf stem of this cluster of weeds is more than three or four times thicker than the surrounding leaf stems.
While dancing, there is no "swish swish swish" sound, but an extremely dull "woo woo woo" sound, as if someone is waving a big stick.
Every blow that hit Li Yan's spiritual power shield caused the outside of the shield to flash wildly.
"That's it!"
The next moment, Li Yan kicked the broken leaf stem, leaving only a cluster of roots, and shouted softly.
"If you don't leave, I'll uproot you."
As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, the cluster of roots suddenly flew up from the ground like an arrow.
Hundreds of tendrils below rose from the ground, like a hundred thin legs, and actually flew towards the weeds at the side at a very fast speed.
At the same time, several other root clusters at Li Yan's feet whose leaves and stems had also been cut off also pulled their roots out of the mud and sand and flew away, but their size was much smaller than the cluster of roots that Li Yan kicked.
In an instant, a space about ten feet in size appeared around Li Yan's feet.
Li Yan was not surprised that spiritual plants with simple intelligence could grow under the water here.
There are so many broken weapons with spiritual energy here. Covered by the vegetation here, they are constantly cleansed and nourished by the spiritual energy over time, and will naturally develop intelligence slowly.
Even the monsters in the water were born or gathered here, which should be closely related to this ancient battlefield.
However, the levels of these spiritual plants were too low, and Li Yan was not an alchemist, so he had no interest in even picking them.
Li Yan's spiritual sense swept towards the huge cluster of weed roots that he had just kicked away. At this time, most of the sand and soil there had been taken away by the departing roots, leaving only a huge mud pit that was instantly filled with lake water.
Li Yan scanned the area with his spiritual sense and then stretched out his hand.
With a "splash", a gray object with a large amount of water flew into his hands.
The next moment, Li Yan held it in his hand. The thing that looked like a big pot was about half the size of Li Yan's body.
The bottom of the pot was mottled and messy due to the thick soil, and a lot of silt had accumulated.
As soon as Li Yan picked up this pot-like thing, he felt a slight warmth coming, which was in stark contrast to the icy cold lake water around it.
Li Yan's expression did not change, as if he had already known it. Spiritual power surged out of his hands, and instantly the mud and sand inside and outside the "big pot" were blown away by a strong wind.
The mud and sand on top quickly disappeared, and after just a few breaths, the "big pot" in Li Yan's hand had changed its appearance.
It was an arc-shaped bone with two long cracks, and its color was as crystal clear as jade, completely different from its previous appearance.
There are some fine lines on the curved bones, which do not look like they were deliberately carved by humans, but more like they were formed naturally.
These fine lines are light purple in color. If you stare at them for a long time, you will even feel that the purple lines on the bones are constantly flowing in one direction.
Li Yan held the "pot"-like curved bone in one hand, while carefully looking at the object in his hand with his spiritual sense. After a long time, he muttered to himself.
"Is this a... a skull?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Li Yan's mind, and then the thing in his hand disappeared.
In the "earth spot" space, the shadow of Li Yan, who was transformed by spiritual consciousness, appeared, and he flashed to a cave under the giant peak.
With a flick of his robe sleeve, the restriction at the cave entrance disappeared and Li Yan stepped in.
"Master, you are here!"
A long-lost voice appeared in Li Yan's ears.
"Oh, you finally woke up, how is your injury?"
Li Yan looked at the little purple dragon elephant that stood up and said with a smile on his face.
"My...injury has not healed yet, but it has recovered about 80%. Master, I want to ask you..."
Most of the body of the little purple dragon elephant is very solid, but there are still some parts that feel illusory and blurry.
Seeing that Li Yan was concerned about its injuries, it hesitated for a moment and first briefly explained its situation. However, due to its anxiety, it immediately wanted to express the questions in its mind.
But before it could finish its words, Li Yan smiled slightly and flicked his sleeves. A crystal object appeared suspended in front of the little purple dragon elephant.
"You want to ask about this thing, right? I didn't expect that even though its aura was so weak, it still woke you up from your deep sleep."
What Li Yan said was true. If he had not been practicing Qigong and refining his Qi, and if his mind had not been in a trance, he would not have been able to sense that intermittent, weak, and almost annihilable breath.
The moment he sensed this faint breath, Li Yan himself thought that he had sensed it wrongly. He thought that the little purple dragon elephant had developed "earth spots" sometime ago.
Although he felt that it was impossible to happen, he still entered the "Earth Spot" to check it out as soon as possible. He felt relieved when he saw that the little purple dragon elephant was still breathing unconsciously in his sleep.
The moment the "pot"-like crystal arc-shaped skeleton appeared in front of the little purple dragon elephant, its body suddenly froze, and then it became dazed for a moment.
Its big eyes were fixed on the thing in front of it, but its body was shaking more and more, and it spoke in a low voice, as if answering Li Yan's question just now.
"That's not my spiritual sense, but the blood... the blood... the response!"
The little purple dragon elephant tried hard to control its trembling body, but it just trembled more violently. It just stared at the curved skeleton. "Don't you want to sense it carefully?"
Li Yan's words were very light, but to the ears of the little purple dragon elephant, they were like a bolt from the blue.
"Yeah!"
The little purple dragon elephant did not use its long trunk to directly catch it as it did in the past, but walked forward slowly.
Although it is just a soul at this moment, every step it takes on the ground will make a dull "dong" sound, which shakes people's hearts.
When it walked to the suspended crystal skeleton, it gently curled up its long nose and slowly touched the crystal skeleton.
And at the moment when the little purple dragon elephant's trunk touched it, the purple lines on the bones, which were originally just shining with a crystal luster, suddenly glowed brightly.
Like a swimming snake, it came to life in an instant, with purple lines flowing rapidly along the surface of the crystal bones.
Along with the flow of purple light, waves of scorching heat were invading outwards, one higher than the other. Even Li Yan, who was transformed into spiritual consciousness, couldn't help but take a step back.
It’s not that he couldn’t withstand the heat, the temperature was quite lower than that of the Fire Palace in the Beiming Demon Suppression Tower.
However, this was an extremely pure and yang force. As soon as the heat wave touched Li Yan's consciousness, it was like a bunch of red-hot iron bars piercing straight at him. Li Yan was not willing to face it head-on.
At the same time, he was also very surprised. His spiritual awareness was not inferior to that of ordinary golden elixirs, but these heat waves actually made him feel a dull stinging pain.
This power definitely did not come from the little purple dragon elephant, so it must have come from this crystal bone. While Li Yan was thinking about it, the heat waves suddenly disappeared.
That was because the little purple dragon elephant had retracted its trunk. As it retracted its trunk, the purple light floating on its crystal bones suddenly stopped and dimmed.
It stared blankly at the two long cracks on the crystal bones. Just now, when its soul power was wandering along with the purple light, at that moment, the little purple dragon elephant felt a joy it had never felt before.
This was born naturally from the bottom of its heart, without any reason. As soon as its soul power touched the purple light, it was like a fish returning to the sea, and they became one with each other.
But when the purple light wandered to one of the two cracks, the little purple dragon elephant suddenly heard a roar in his mind that shook the heavens and the earth.
The sound was deafening and terrifying to the little purple dragon elephant, but Li Yan, who was standing next to it, was completely unaware of it.
That voice was filled with despair, unwillingness, and deep, unresolvable hatred.
The little purple dragon elephant stared blankly at the crystal bones, but his expression became more and more sad. His soul could not shed tears, but it felt joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Li Yan did not say anything. He just stood aside, quietly looking at the scene in front of him.
After a very long time, the little purple dragon elephant gradually regained its composure. It turned its head and looked at Li Yan. Its voice was very low, revealing endless sadness.
"It was one of my tribesmen, a very powerful one. I could sense its power, but it... died!"
It could hear the endless fighting spirit and indomitable fighting spirit in that roar.
The cultivation level of the little purple dragon elephant is still too low. It cannot judge whether the fallen clan member is a Nascent Soul, a Divine Transformation, or a more powerful being.
But he was definitely a top existence in this mortal world. However, even such an existence died here, and only these few bones were left.
Li Yan nodded. He didn’t know what the little purple dragon elephant sensed, but he knew from the deep sadness on the little purple dragon elephant’s face that they had signed a contract.
"This is the skull of that powerful tribesman, but it is only a part of the skull. It died in a head-on battle. I can sense its boundless fighting spirit, a fighting spirit that is determined to move forward and die on the way forward!"
The little purple dragon elephant turned its head again, looked at the two long cracks on the crystal bones, and said in a low voice.
It couldn't imagine what kind of powerful existence could leave such a long scar on the skull of a peerless ferocious beast that was at least at the Nascent Soul level.
It was probably this blow that caused the death of this powerful member of its tribe.
Although the little Purple Divine Dragon Elephant had never seen any other members of its tribesmen, it was the soul of a young Purple Divine Dragon Elephant that was unsuccessfully condensed by three seriously injured Purple Divine Dragon Elephants after they had used up their last bit of soul power and worked together to display their inherited magical powers.
But the moment the purple lines in its skull lit up, it felt a family affection it had never felt before, a feeling of being connected by blood and soul.
"I can also feel its power. When you settle down in the future, you can find a place to bury it."
When those pure heat waves came just now, just like the little purple dragon elephant said, Li Yan already knew how powerful the owner of this skeleton was when he was alive.
Now it has been confirmed by the little Purple Divine Dragon Elephant that this is an adult Purple Divine Dragon Elephant.
What is the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant? It is an ancient beast that can be ranked in the top 100. Although it is not one of the best, its physical body and innate magical powers are not comparable to those of cultivators like humans.
It is almost possible to completely crush those of the same level, but still cannot avoid the reality of being killed.
Looking at the little purple dragon elephant still standing there absent-mindedly, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh.
The little purple dragon elephant may seem normal and nonchalant, but its desire to meet its own kind has never disappeared.
But he couldn't say whether the Purple Dragon Elephant clan still existed in the mortal world, but it was no exaggeration to say that it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"You should just focus on recovering from your injuries. I will keep this skull for now and give it to you when you are better!"
Seeing the unprecedented sadness on the little purple dragon elephant, Li Yan felt that this was not a good thing, so he stretched out his hand and the crystal skull flew towards him.
The little purple dragon elephant, who had been in a daze, suddenly woke up.
