Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 19: Searching for Spiritual Minerals, a Dangerous Journey

The oppressive feeling at the bottom of the sea was even stronger than Xiao Bei had imagined, as if some giant beast was lurking in the darkness, spying on them.

Bei Li held Xiao Bei's hand tightly, her face pale, and she kept muttering: "Brother Xiao Bei, it's so scary here, let's go back..."

"Don't be afraid, Li'er, I'm here." Xiao Bei pretended to be calm and comforted her, but he was actually a little scared in his heart.

Why didn’t this system tell me in advance that the seabed is so scary!

If he had known earlier, he would have brought a flashlight with him. It was pitch dark in here, which was even more exciting than a horror movie.

After finally reaching the shore, Xiao Bei and Bei Li rushed to the spiritual mine without stopping.

This spiritual mine is located on a barren mountain. The entrance of the cave is gloomy and looks like a monster's mouth.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and complained, "Can't this world of immortal cultivation incorporate some earthly things? It's so spooky every day, who are you trying to scare to death?"

As soon as I stepped into the spiritual mine, a damp and corrupt smell hit me in the face, mixed with a faint smell of blood.

Bei Li covered her nose and whispered, "Brother Xiao Bei, it stinks here..."

"Shh, keep your voice down." Xiao Bei signaled Bei Li to be quiet and turned on the system's detection function.

Suddenly, the scene inside the mine was visible to him, and various mineral veins, spirit stones, and even lurking monsters were clearly visible.

"Fortunately I brought the system, otherwise it would be pitch dark and I would be completely in the dark!" Xiao Bei secretly rejoiced.

The system quickly locked onto a mineral vein containing awakening materials. Xiao Bei took Bei Li and carefully moved towards the target.

The road in the spiritual mine is rugged, with gravel rolling down from time to time. If you are not careful, you will fall flat on your face.

Beili followed Xiao Bei closely, fearing that they would get lost accidentally.

"This road is too difficult to walk on. It's even harder than when I climbed Mount Tai!" Xiao Bei couldn't help but complain.

Suddenly, he felt a weak fluctuation of spiritual power and stopped quickly.

"Lier, look!" Xiao Bei pointed ahead and said excitedly.

In the dim light, a stone emitting a faint glow lies quietly in the vein.

"Wow, is this the awakening material? So beautiful!" Beili's eyes sparkled.

"Yes, that's it!" Xiao Bei carefully took the stone and put it in his bag.

"Hehe, now we're one step ahead of Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao!"

At this moment, a strange sound came from deep in the mine...

"It seems like something is coming..." Beili nervously grabbed Xiao Bei's arm.

"Don't be afraid..." Xiao Bei's words were still lingering...

……

A giant spider covered with spikes jumped out from the darkness, its eight scarlet eyes staring at Xiao Bei and Bei Li, making a creepy hissing sound.

"Oh my god! Such a big spider?!" Xiao Bei exclaimed and subconsciously protected Bei Li behind him.

This spider was dozens of times larger than any spider he had ever seen. It was simply the reincarnation of a spider spirit!

"Brother Xiao Bei, it... it's so scary..." Bei Li was trembling with fear and tightly grasped the corner of Xiao Bei's clothes.

"Don't be afraid, Li'er, watch me use my ultimate move!" Xiao Bei pretended to be relaxed and comforted her, but he was actually very panicked in his heart.

It was obvious that this spider was not someone to be trifled with, so he had to find a way to escape.

Just then, a noisy sound of footsteps came from deep in the mine.

"Haha, Xiao Bei, I didn't expect you to hide here!" Liu Meng's arrogant voice echoed in the mine.

Xiao Bei turned around and saw Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao walking towards them aggressively.

Liu Meng was holding a long sword that was flashing with cold light in his hand, and he looked like he was ready to fight.

"Liu Meng? Why are you here?" Xiao Bei asked in surprise.

"Humph, of course I'm here to steal your awakening materials!" Liu Meng grinned evilly, staring greedily at the stone in Xiao Bei's hand.

"Just you? You want to steal my things?" Xiao Bei sneered and put the stone into the storage bag.

"Oh, you're so arrogant! I'll beat you to a pulp!" Liu Meng said as he was about to rush forward.

"Wait!" Bei Li suddenly stood up and said mysteriously, "Do you know where this place is? This is the territory of the guardian beast! If you dare to take action here, the guardian beast will not let you go!"

"Guardian beast?" Liu Meng was stunned and looked around subconsciously, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"That's right! It's right in front!" Bei Li pointed deep into the mine and said seriously, "I just saw a giant spider. It's even bigger than this mine! It's covered with spikes, and its eyes are as red as fire..."

Beili described the appearance of the giant spider in vivid detail, which made Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao's scalps tingle.

"Are there really such big spiders?" Liu Meng hesitated.

Although he is reckless, he is not a fool. He will not go to a mountain where he knows there is a tiger.

"Of course it's true! Why would I lie to you?" Bei Li said confidently.

Just when Liu Meng was hesitating, Xiao Bei secretly opened the system's spiritual mine map with a sly smile on his face.

"Li'er, let's go!" Xiao Bei took Bei Li's hand and ran towards another passage marked on the map.

"Xiao Bei, stop right there!" Liu Meng saw this and quickly chased after him...

Xiao Bei grabbed Bei Li and ran away.

"Li'er, hold on tight, I'll take you flying!" He activated the system's acceleration buff and quickly slipped into a narrow passage.

Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao were chasing closely behind, cursing as they went.

"Xiao Bei, you coward, don't run away if you dare!" "Stop! Hand over the awakening materials!"

"Haha, you want to catch up with me? No way!" Xiao Bei was secretly happy. The spiritual mine map produced by this system was simply a life-saving artifact!

All the passages and traps in the spirit mine were clearly marked on the map. Xiao Bei took Bei Li and took shortcuts, making Liu Meng and Senior Sister Zhao very confused.

"Damn, how does this kid know so many shortcuts!" Liu Meng chased after him breathlessly, feeling like his lungs were about to explode.

Senior Sister Zhao was also very tired and secretly cursed Xiao Bei for being cunning.

Just when Xiao Bei thought he had gotten rid of them, a lizard with green light all over its body suddenly appeared in front of him.

"What the hell is that!" Xiao Bei was startled and stopped immediately.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." The lizard spit out its tongue and issued a threatening warning sound.

It was not big in size, but it was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of Xiao Bei and grabbed Xiao Bei's face with its sharp claws.

"Li'er, be careful!" Xiao Bei pushed Bei Li away and at the same time summoned a flying sword to block the lizard's attack.

With a "clang" sound, sparks flew everywhere.

"This little thing is quite powerful!" Xiao Bei did not dare to be careless and used all his strength to fight with the lizard.

He combined modern fighting techniques with immortal cultivation techniques and caught the lizard off guard.

Beili assisted from the side, throwing out a few spells from time to time to harass the lizard.

"Ice Cone Technique!" Bei Li shouted, and an ice cone shot towards the lizard's eyes.

The lizard screamed in pain, and its attack rhythm was disrupted.

"Good opportunity!" Xiao Bei seized the opportunity and pierced the lizard's throat with a sword.

Green blood gushed out, and the lizard struggled for a few times before falling to the ground.

"Huh, finally done!" Xiao Bei breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Brother Xiao Bei, are you okay?" Bei Li asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's nothing..." Before Xiao Bei finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill behind him...

"What... are you doing?" A deep voice came from behind.

After the battle, Beili took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from Xiao Bei's forehead, his eyes full of admiration.

"Brother Xiao Bei, you are so awesome! You are absolutely my idol!" Bei Li's eyes were starry, and she looked like a fangirl.

Xiao Bei felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and scratched his head: "Hehe, basic operation, don't worry, I'll take you to eat chicken next time."

"By the way, the skin of this lizard is quite valuable. How about peeling it and selling it?" Xiao Bei touched his chin, thinking about how to make a fortune.

Beili, however, looked disgusted: "Ugh~ How disgusting! I don't want to touch this thing!"

As the two were talking, they suddenly felt a vibration under their feet and rubble began to fall from the top of the mine.

"Oh my god, what's going on? An earthquake?" Xiao Bei looked up and saw a huge crack on the top of the mine. The crack was still expanding and could collapse at any time.

"Li'er, run!" Xiao Bei pulled Bei Li up and ran back the way they came.

"Boom--" The top of the mine finally couldn't hold on, and large chunks of rock fell down, completely blocking the way they came.

"It's over, we're trapped now!" Xiao Bei looked at the pile of rubble behind him, wanting to cry but unable to.

"Don't panic, I remember there seems to be a secret passage on the map!" Xiao Bei quickly opened the system map and checked it carefully.

"Found it! It's over there!" Xiao Bei pointed to a mark on the map and pulled Bei Li towards the secret passage.

The secret passage was narrow and dark, and one couldn't see one's hand in front of one's face. Bei Li hugged Xiao Bei's arm tightly, trembling.

"Brother Xiao Bei, I'm so scared..." "Don't be afraid, Li'er, I'm here." Xiao Bei pretended to be calm and comforted her, but he was actually very panicked in his heart.

This secret passage is so dark, who knows what might be hidden inside.

Suddenly, Xiao Bei felt his feet go empty and he fell down.

"Ah——" Xiao Bei and Bei Li screamed at the same time.

With a "bang", the two men fell heavily to the ground.

"Ouch, my old waist!" Xiao Bei complained as he rubbed his sore butt.

"Li'er, are you okay?"

"I... I'm fine..." Beili's voice trembled a little.

Xiao Bei lit a tinder and looked around in the faint light.

They found themselves in a large underground space, with walls engraved with strange runes, emitting a faint golden light.

"This... what is this place?" Beili asked in surprise.

Xiao Bei looked at the runes on the wall, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart, as if he had seen them somewhere.

"These runes..." Xiao Bei stretched out his hand and gently stroked the runes on the wall.

Suddenly, a golden light shot out from the rune, illuminating the entire space.

"Boom--" With a loud noise, the ground began to shake, and a huge stone door slowly opened, revealing a dark passage behind the door.

"This place... seems to be an ancient relic..." Xiao Bei muttered to himself.

"Brother Xiao Bei, let's go in and take a look..." Bei Li pulled Xiao Bei's sleeve, her eyes full of curiosity.

Xiao Bei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "Okay, let's go in and take a look..."

The two walked into the passage cautiously, and an ancient and mysterious aura hit them...

"Wait..." Xiao Bei suddenly stopped and stared ahead with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Beili asked.

"Did you... hear any sound..."
