Wang Xu nodded when he heard Ye Li's words. He knew very well that they were all burdens to Ye Li.
If it weren't for the need to protect these people, Ye Li would never have escaped from the cave. To Ye Li, those black ice earthworms were as harmless as ordinary earthworms.
"Thank you, Elder Ye. Please be careful. We will be waiting outside!"
Wang Xu said to Ye Li.
Ye Li smiled and nodded, then turned around and returned to the cave.
It has now been confirmed that this is the Tiankui Water-patterned Gold vein. Although the vein does not seem to be large, Ye Li estimated that the ore here should be enough.
Naturally, the more defensive talismans Ou Qianxie wants to make, the better, but it is definitely unrealistic to equip each person with a defensive talisman.
Now, as long as some people can possess these defensive talismans, and then these people can serve as a defensive force to help their comrades around them to defend, it will be very appropriate.
Ye Li walked slowly into the cave, and the secret body-building technique was concentrated on him.
He was not afraid of the attacks of these black ice earthworms. The black ice earthworms posed no threat to him.
All he had to do was to clear out as many of the Black Ice Earthworms as possible to prevent them from causing harm to other members of the Five Sacred Alliance.
These black ice earthworms have just witnessed Ye Li's power. Now that Ye Li has entered the cave alone, these black ice earthworms may not come out to attack him.
After all, with Ye Li's strength, slaughtering the Black Ice Earthworms is a very easy task. If these Black Ice Earthworms dare to show up, he will kill them no matter how many there are.
But one thing is that if these black ice earthworms do not show up, the situation will be a bit troublesome, because he cannot get into the ground to kill these black ice earthworms.
Now Ye Li is thinking about whether he can find a way to lure out the Xuanbing Earth Earthworm directly.
After all, it is not so easy to kill the Ancestral Black Ice Earth Earthworm. If there is no special situation, he believes that the Ancestral Black Ice Earth Earthworm will not show up.
Ye Li continued to go deeper into the cave. He had passed the area where they had been attacked before, but this time no black ice worms appeared.
After thinking it over carefully, Ye Li could only continue to go deeper into the cave. It was obvious that these black ice earthworms knew how powerful he was, so they chose to hide.
After all, any creature with a little intelligence knows the principle of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. The Black Ice Earthworm is much smarter than ordinary earthworms, so it naturally knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm and will not provoke Ye Li.
Ye Li searched the underground cave for almost half an hour, but no black ice earthworms came out, which made him feel depressed.
If these black ice earthworms don't come out, he has no way to deal with them. He can't launch the most powerful attack and flatten the entire mountain.
Although Ye Li can indeed do this, the effect of doing so may not be useful.
If we flatten this place, we can kill all the Xuanbing Earth Earthworms. As long as the original Xuanbing Earth Earthworm hides deep enough, it is entirely possible for it to avoid Ye Li's attack.
Besides, if this place is completely destroyed, the entire natural mine will disappear. It is unknown how much effort it will take to dig out the Tiankui water-patterned gold buried under the rocks.
Therefore, Ye Li couldn't use this method to deal with it. He had to think of other ways.
Ye Li walked towards the depths of the cave and soon reached the deepest part of the cave. The environment here had changed from dry to humid.
The whole area smelled salty from the sea, and the moisture made the ground begin to become muddy.
Seeing this situation, Ye Li couldn't help but guess that there must be a channel connecting this place to the sea, otherwise it would not be so humid.
After walking in this area for a while, Ye Li stepped into a cave hall of considerable size. There was indeed a small pool of water inside. However, the water flowing in the pool was not fresh water, but salty sea water.
In this cave hall, in addition to the fishy and salty sea water, there is also a strange stench, like a very strong fishy smell.
Ye Li frowned, then endured the stench and began to search the cave. He wanted to see where the fishy smell came from.
After walking along the cave hall for a distance, a smaller cave hall appeared in front of Ye Li. The extremely strong smell of fish and the stench of decay came from here.
Ye Li stepped into the cave hall and then held his breath. The smell here was so bad that even he could hardly bear it.
Ye Li entered the cave and with the help of the spiritual energy emanating from his body, he could clearly see the corpses of sea fish piled on the ground.
Most of these corpses have turned into bones and fish bones, and only a small part of them have not yet rotted.
Each of those large fish that had not rotted was quite large, about half the size of an adult, and their bellies were full of holes, as if they had been drilled by something.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood that the thing that broke through the fish's belly was obviously the black ice earthworm.
These fish do not look like monsters, but rather ordinary sea fish. Their corpses are big and small. The big corpses look relatively complete. As long as they are not completely rotten, Ye Li can see the holes in the abdomen of the corpse.
The corpses of those small fish were completely gathered into a ball. Ye Li understood the reason at a glance. This was what the Xuanbing Earthworm vomited out.
Just like a python, after swallowing the indigestible fur and bones, it will roll them up into a ball and spit them out.
It is obvious that the Xuanbing earthworm is unable to digest these fish bones, or simply does not want to digest them, so it spits them out directly.
After Ye Li frowned and thought for a while, he walked towards the corpses of several large fish that had not yet rotted.
These corpses looked relatively new, but judging from the chill emanating from the fish corpses, Ye Li knew that they were not actually that new.
The reason why they haven't completely rotted is that the Xuanbing Earth Earthworm injected cold poison into them when killing them.
The injection of these cold poisons allows the corpses to remain uncorrupted for a long period of time. Only after the cold has completely dissipated will the corpses begin to gradually rot.
Judging from the dissipation of the coldness from the fish, Ye Li estimated that these corpses had been there for seven or eight days. After all, the cold poison would definitely stay in the body of an ordinary fish for a long time, unlike in the body of a monster, where it would be quickly dispersed by spiritual energy.
Ye Li glanced at the hole in the fish's belly, and a golden light flashed in his hand. A sharp golden aura emanated from it, and the fish's belly was instantly completely ripped open, revealing the flesh and blood inside. (To be continued)
