Chapter 53: The Abandoned Magic Crystal Mine

  It was already midnight when Lin Wu woke up, he quietly looked outside and saw that the purple electric leopard had not left at all, staring tightly at the entrance of the cave where Lin Wu was. If it weren't for the fact that the purple electric leopard's body was too big to enter, it would have killed Lin Wu and torn him into pieces long ago due to its hatred towards him.

  "It seems I won't be able to leave for now." Lin Wu thought to himself.

  Feeling that his injuries had mostly healed, Lin Wu's gaze turned to the cave, this seemingly endless cave exuding an air of mystery. He then got up and carefully walked in.

  After a while, there was nothing impressive about the demon beast or treasure that Lin Wu had imagined. It seemed like this was just a cave, with countless broken stones piled up on the ground at the bottom of the cave.

  He picked up a stone, Lin Wu took a closer look and found that it was indeed just a stone. He casually threw the broken stone to the ground, "Huh? There really is treasure?" Lin Wu stared at the stone, because when he threw it down, it happened to knock off a piece of the outer rock surface, revealing the crystal-like crystals inside.

  Quickly picking up the stone, he smashed all the outer rock skin, and finally a colorful crystal appeared in front of Lin Wu.

  "Mystic Crystal!"

  Lin Wu stared at the colored crystal in his hand in surprise, and here he would have a magic crystal ore. This point made Lin Wu feel extremely surprised, but looking at the five-colored magic crystal stone, Lin Wu knew that this magic crystal was simply a waste product.

  Magic crystal and magic core are both with different attributes, and the origin of magic crystal also determines its attribute. For example, if the origin of magic crystal is close to water source, then the magic crystal will be mainly water-based, if it's near a volcano, then it will naturally be fire-based, but this is not absolute, even in areas close to water sources, there will still be magic crystals with other attributes.

  And to judge the quality of a magic crystal mine, it depends on its purity. The one in Lin Wu's hand looks colorful and pretty, but it's actually a waste product. Various elements are mixed together, making it impossible to use, at most it's just a better-looking crystal.

  "No wonder, this should be where someone discovered the crystal mine and opened that cave. But in the end, they found it was an abandoned mine, so they gave up." Seeing the abandoned crystal stone, Lin Wu wasn't hard to guess the origin of this cave.

  Lin Wu couldn't help but feel a little regretful, the magic crystal mine here was obviously still quite rich, apart from the holes in the ground, there were countless ore on the walls of the cave, if these were all high-purity magic crystals, it would definitely trigger a frantic scramble among various forces.

  Lin Wu suddenly had an idea that shocked him, the Disassembler. If the Disassembler could break down these magic crystals into various crystal blocks, then Lin Wu would have a large number of crystal blocks.

  There is no Violet Thunder Leopard blocking outside now, and Lin Wu can't go out for the time being, so he takes out the decomposition machine. Lin Wu throws the colorful magic crystal in his hand into it.

  "Obtained Red Crystal Shard * 1"

  "Obtained 2 Yellow Crystals"

  "Obtained Blue Small Crystal * 1"

  "Obtained Purple Crystal Shard * 1"

  ……

  Staring at the lines of information appearing on the disassembler's screen, Lin Wu clenched his fists excitedly. It was indeed possible; all the mixed elemental energies had been decomposed into small crystal blocks of various colors. The sheer variety was absolutely unmatched by disassembling those broken magical equipment.

  Lin Wu was also excited and decomposed all the magic crystal ore on the ground into colorful crystal blocks.

  "Waaaahhhh..."

  At this time, in Lin Wu's arms, the purple electric leopard cub suddenly made a series of whimpering sounds. The purple electric leopard cub, which had not yet opened its eyes, kept calling out with its mouth open.

  "This can't be hungry, right?" Lin Wu was taken aback and immediately thought that he didn't have any milk to feed it.

  Lin Wu put down the purple electric leopard cub and began to search for food in his inventory, but he found that all the items he had prepared were dry goods, without any liquid food.

  "Could it be that after finally catching a young purple electric leopard, we're going to let it starve to death?" Lin Wu said with a sense of discontent.

  Suddenly, Lin Wu saw that the purple electric leopard cub was crawling towards a pile of colorful crystals on the ground, and then opened its small mouth to swallow a small purple crystal.

  Lin Wu was startled and quickly grabbed the cub, holding it upside down in an attempt to get the crystal out. "Good grief, little guy, you're asking for death! Eating this will choke you to death!"

  But no matter how hard Lin Wu tried to coax the little guy out, he just wouldn't spit it out. Before long, he even fell asleep.

  Lin Wu was taken aback, "Could it be that this little crystal beast ate it and nothing happened?" Lin Wu carefully observed the cub and found no signs of discomfort, but rather seemed to be sleeping very comfortably.

  "This crystal block has another use? Well, let's go back and have the old man study it." Lin Wu said, putting the infant back into his arms, continuing to dismantle the magic crystal.

  For several days, Lin Wu had been constantly decomposing the magic crystal stones. When he was hungry, he would eat some dry rations. When he was tired, he would sit down on the spot to cultivate his internal energy and recover his physical strength. Since discovering that the purple electric leopard cub liked to eat crystal blocks, Lin Wu had been feeding it crystal blocks all along. Among them, Lin Wu found that the little guy loved to eat small purple crystal blocks the most. The colorless small crystal blocks were also eaten, while the rest were simply ignored.

  Judging from Lin Wu's guess, the energy in the crystal is pure and very stable, which should be very beneficial to the demon beasts. The purple electric leopard belongs to the thunder system demon beast, so it has a special liking for the small purple crystal, and the attributeless colorless small crystal can also be eaten, while the rest of the attributes are not touched at all.

  And during these days, the mother leopard also didn't leave Lin Wu's cave at all, making it impossible for Lin Wu to get out. Now, the magic crystal in this cave has almost been decomposed by Lin Wu, and the remaining ones should be under the hard rocks. Lin Wu doesn't have any tools, so he can't dig them up anyway.

  During this period, Lin Wu obtained a total of thousands of crystal blocks of various colors, greatly enriching his reserves. However, the quality of these magic crystals was too low, and the number of crystal blocks that could be decomposed was very small. Fortunately, there were many magic crystal stones, otherwise, it would not have been possible to decompose so many. Just thinking about the incomplete 7th-level magic equipment, thousands of them were directly taken out, and the gap can be imagined.

  Calculating the time, there are about 3 days left until Alice's birthday. "I must go out today." Lin Wu thought to himself.

  "Wooo~"

  At this time, the little guy in Lin Wu's belly started calling again. During this period of time, the little guy had been eating Lin Wu's crystal blocks and growing rapidly. Occasionally, lightning would still be released from his body.

  It's clear that this little guy has actually started to comprehend the first innate skill, and he can comprehend innate skills shortly after birth. This little guy's talent is so good it's infuriating.

  "It's possible that I can still be promoted." Lin Wu thought to himself.
