193 The Legend of the Dragon’s Mine

“W-what kind of demonic beast is this?”

“I... I heard that there’s a demonic beast that guards the misty forest. Could it be the creature in front of us?” Wu Hai stuttered.

The giant beast was hidden in the fog. Apart from its huge eyes, it was impossible to see what its body looked like. It could also be because of the fog.

“Roar!”

The deafening sound made everyone’s heart tremble. A powerful pressure came, but it was impossible to detect what level this demonic beast was.

The giant beast was huge, but its movements were extremely fast. It was not affected by the fog at all. The scarlet lanterns were getting closer and closer to the group, revealing a bloodthirsty light.

As it moved, even the ground trembled.

“Hurry up and run!”

With a cry of surprise, the crowd scattered like birds and beasts, their figures instantly disappearing into the fog.

Even if Ye Xuan had great abilities, he couldn’t display them here. There was fog all around him, and if he was not careful, it would easily affect others. Moreover, this giant beast didn’t look easy to deal with.

Not to mention, nobody knew what else would come out of this strange fog, so everyone could only avoid it for the time being.

Ye Xuan and the others didn’t know how long they had been running, but the giant beast didn’t seem to catch up. They couldn’t help but sigh in relief. At this time, the fog gradually dissipated, and they could at least see their figures clearly.

This was when they realized that most of the people around them had disappeared. Only Shen Changling, Lin Qing, Wu Hai, and He Feng were still with Ye Xuan.

Lin Qing gasped for air as he said, “Oh my God, what kind of demonic beast was that? I’ve never seen it before.”

Wu Hai also had a look of lingering fear on his face. He replied, “It must be the guardian beast of this forest. I didn’t think that there would really be a guardian beast. Could it be that the legend is true...”

Hearing his words, everyone’s interest was piqued. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “What legend?”

Wu Hai scratched his head and suddenly asked an unrelated question, “Do you know why there are so many spirit stone mines around Changping?”

The others all shook their heads.

He had a mysterious expression on his face and lowered his voice as if he was afraid of disturbing some mysterious existence.

“Actually, I’ve also heard from the older generation that Changping’s location is unique because there’s a dragon mine buried nearby! It’s said that it’s in the deep mountains.”

The dragon mine was a unique terrain. Any place with a dragon mine was a treasure land that could produce divine objects. If one cultivated in the dragon mine, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

However, some dragon mines were also more special. They were places of great evil. Even if an almighty cultivator stepped into it, there was a 90% chance of death. It was full of undefeatable evil Qi and could be said to be very dangerous.

There were many theories about the formation of the dragon mines. Some said that this was the place where the true dragon slumbered, and some said that it was the burial ground of the dragon race. In general, there were many different opinions.

Shen Changling didn’t believe it. He said, “If there was a dragon mine here, it would have been discovered hundreds of years ago. Why would it wait until now?”

Although it was said that the depths of the forest were extremely dangerous, when the Seven Great Sects were here, there were also many outstanding people. It was impossible for them not to know about the existence of the dragon mine here.

Wu Hai smiled awkwardly as he replied, “I only heard this from an old man. Maybe it’s just a legend.”

Ye Xuan’s interest was piqued. He asked, “Can you tell me more about the dragon mine?”

Wu Hai was a little embarrassed as he replied, “Actually, I don’t know much either. After all, it’s just a casual comment. If there really was a dragon mine, Changping would probably be a hundred times more prosperous than it is now.”

He Feng was worried about the disciples who had gone missing. After all, it was dangerous for them to be separated. Some of them were from Infinity Sect. He couldn’t help but interrupt their conversation.

“Let’s not worry about those ethereal dragon mines for now. What should we do next? Maybe the demonic beast did it on purpose to separate us.”

“You’re right, Brother He.” Shen Changling nodded. “If that’s the case, we and the others will be in danger.”

“Then what should we do next? Should we go and find them or...?”

At this moment, there was a rustling sound not far ahead, as if something was approaching.

Everyone looked at each other and instantly became extremely vigilant.

Just as they were on high alert, a furry little head popped out. It was the Penglai Immortal Beast, and its bean-sized eyes glanced at Ye Xuan.

[Ye Xuan, I have made a major discovery in front. I felt a different aura.]

Because it was a divine sense voice transmission, no one knew that they were communicating with each other. They only felt that this demonic beast should have gained intelligence.

Ye Xuan’s expression changed slightly. He said, “My beasts seemed to have found something. Let’s hurry and follow them.”

The group of people also hurriedly followed. The Penglai Immortal Beast was leading the way in front, leading the group in a winding way. They didn’t know if it was because the fog was gradually becoming less, or if it was something else, but this time, their journey was incredibly smooth.

Even Shen Changling couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Elder Ye, where did you get this demonic beast? It looks very weak, but it’s quite powerful. I also want to get one to play with, but its appearance is quite strange. I’ve never seen it before.”

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but after saying this, the demonic beast leading the way in front stopped and turned around to glare at him.

Shen Changling thought he was hallucinating and stuttered, “Did I see it wrong? Was it glaring at me just now?”

“You’ve probably been staring at the fog for too long that your eyes are dazzled,” He Feng said, somewhat speechless.

No one took Shen Changling’s words to heart.
