The lanterns emit a soft glow that shines on the road ahead, making the scene clearer. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It was a huge clearing, so open that it looked like a hollowed-out mountain, and in the middle of the clearing there was a large crater, and there were several skeletons in it, but it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a beast.

Su Shen walked in and said, "Do we have discovered a secret realm?" ”

"I think so, master. But this secret realm is of little value. Gangyan replied honestly.

"Not necessarily. Su Shen looked around, hung the crystal lamp on the wall, and then pointed to a random place: "Try digging here." ”

The steel rock resisted the iron hoe.

The cacophony of gold and iron resounded above the crater again.

It didn't take long for the steel rock to dig down a piece of star silver stone from the mine wall, and the dazzling silver light could be judged from the strength of the light only to be a piece of ore with a high content.

The spirit of the steel rock was shocked, and the swing of the iron hoe became more and more powerful.

Piece after piece of star silver ore was dug down from the mine wall by the steel rock, and after knocking away the outer stone layer, what appeared was a variety of star silver mines of different sizes and sizes, just an hour's effort, and the effect was better than the previous few days.

And there are not only a lot of ores here, but also pure, Su Shen picked up a piece and looked at it, feeling that the star silver in it accounted for at least more than thirty percent.

In the Star Silver Mine, such purity is already quite high.

But good things seem to have just begun.

With a snap, another fist-sized piece of star silver ore fell.

The purity of this piece is higher, judging from the degree of silver light condensation, it is almost 50% pure.

A piece of the finest ore.

Even Su Shen was amazed in his heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden slight vibration on the ground.

The shock was not loud, but Su Shen and Gangyan felt it at the same time.

Could it be an earthquake? If that was the case, it would be too bad.

But the next moment, Su Shen already knew that it was not, because the vibration suddenly strengthened and came straight towards him.

Completely instinctive, Su Shen jumped up violently.

As soon as he jumped up, he saw that two black scythes had sliced through the ground where he had stood before. If Su Shen's movements were a little slower, he would definitely be cut off by two knives and three times.

As the two giant scythes fell, a roar of "whoop" was heard, and a terrifying mouth rose from the ground. What a terrible mouth, full of sharp teeth, from which from time to time mucus flowed and fell to the ground, causing the rocks to rot with it. It turned out that the two giant scythes just now were not giant scythes at all, but the two jaw teeth under the big mouth, which opened and closed with each other, making an ugly collision sound.

A behemoth came out of the ground like this, except for a terrifying mouth and sharp jaw teeth, this guy had a hard shell on its back, and a thin layer of wings under the carapace on its back was constantly fanning.

It's clearly a beetle!

It's just that before this, Su Shen had never seen such a large beetle, and it could swallow itself with one mouth, probably because the steel rock could make it choke.

"Hell, what kind of monster is this?" Su Shen had never heard of such an existence before.

The steel rock next to him also opened his mouth wide.

Su Shen carefully pulled out the Moon Devouring Sky Wolf Knife and aimed it at the big beetle.

But the next moment, what he saw made him completely speechless - the beetle didn't pay attention to him at all, but pounced directly on the pile of star silver ore, opened its mouth and began to devour it.

The star silver mine that Steelstone had worked so hard to dig was eaten by this beetle.

"It turns out that its purpose is ore and not me. Su Shen understood.

Although the Star Silver Mine is valuable, it is certainly not as precious as a small life. Seeing that the purpose of this monster was not his own, Su Shen also breathed a sigh of relief. In this bug, he saw a rich source energy, and its richness was probably no less than that of the three boiling blood realms, which was also a new use he developed for his eye ability, judging the other party's cultivation by the concentration of the source energy on the target's body.

Although cultivation is not combat power, it is not much different when used as a criterion.

This beetle had at least the source power of the Boiling Blood Realm, and Su Shen definitely didn't want to fight with it.

But at this moment, an angry voice suddenly remembered: "Useless fools, they forget their purpose when they see eating, and they never know what is more important." Is there anything else in your poor mind but metal?"

In the darkness, a figure elongated until it appeared in the light of a crystal lamp.

It was a man covered in a black robe, his face covered in shadows and couldn't be seen clearly, but he could still vaguely tell that it was an old face.

In his hand he was holding a green wooden staff, the tip of which was a fiery red gem.

The aura of the whole person looked gloomy and depressed, as if the undead in the Nine Shadows Abyss had walked out of the ground and appeared in front of Su Shen like this.

Seeing the appearance of this person, Su Shen's heart sank slightly.

After coming to the beetle's side, the old man stopped, he looked at Su Shen, and let out an angry snort: "I finally blocked the way in, but I was still dug up by you greedy guys." Wealth blinds you and leads you to the path of death. ”

Su Shen took a few steps back, and the Cloud Stepping Combat Boots started silently, and said: "This old man, I just accidentally passed by here, since this is your territory, then I can quit." ”

"Exit?" the old man let out a grim laugh, "Leave here and then go tell the people outside?"

"I can ......"

"Don't swear!" the old man had already cried out, "human oaths are meaningless, you have broken countless oaths in the past, history has proved that you are a race that cannot be trusted!"

Hearing this, Su Shen was slightly stunned.

Listening to this old man's tone, it seems that the other party is not human?

Only then did Su Shen notice that the other party's figure was obviously shorter than his own.

His height was only about the same as Su Shen's shoulders, and this height was originally quite normal, but with the old man's words just now, Su Shen knew that the other party was probably not short as an individual, but ...... Race?

What race is as tall as him?

Su Shen couldn't think of it for a while.

As far as he could remember, the vast majority of the races were taller and more powerful than the Terrans. The Moon Clan is slender, the Mountain Clan is tall, the Yan Clan is strong, the Tyrant Clan is mighty, the Yu Clan has wings, the Spirit Clan is nothing, not to mention the Sea Clan, among the forty-six Zhi Clans of the Source Wilderness, there are only a handful of people who are shorter than the Terrans.

Is it the artisans? or is it ......

Before Su Shen could clear his mind, the old man had already raised his staff and shouted, "Damn human, bear this angry flame!"

As he spoke, a huge fireball had been generated out of thin air and smashed towards Su Shen.

Su Shen was startled, he finally prepared in advance, the smoke snake stepped out, his body was like the wind, and as soon as he flew out, the big fireball had already smashed on the ground where he was standing before, smashing sparks everywhere.

The old man obviously didn't expect Su Shen's reaction speed to be so fast, and he could dodge the fireball, but the next moment he shook the wooden staff in his hand, and another fireball was already generated at the top of the staff, shooting towards Su Shen.

Su Shen's body flashed, and the smoke snake stepped to the extreme, dodging the fireball again, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a remnant of the Austrian clan!"

He was greeted by a burst of fire.
