Cheng Tianle's divine sense was almost unable to catch up with Sheng Long, so he had to tell him to slow down, and he must be careful in the depths of the ground, the Xuan Turtle Beast has not been found yet! If you find a trace, don't approach it rashly, come back immediately to join Cheng Tianle, and then find a way to take it down.

However, in two days, the resin beads collected by Sheng Long filled five wooden boxes, and there was no more to find them. It's not that Sheng Long's talent is not good, but the resin beads in this place have been searched for by him, and if he wants to find it again, he will have to come back at least next spring, and if he wants to collect it in large quantities, it is best to wait until three or five years later.

There are many places in the deep mountains of Dabie where you can see snowflakes falling dragon wood, but only in places where the altitude is more than 1,000 meters above sea level and the clouds and mist are shrouded all year round, there must be enough soil cover to appear resin beads. Cheng Tianle and Sheng Long climbed over various faults and cliffs on the high mountains, looking for suitable places, sometimes they may only find a small patch or even a few trees, and sometimes they are lucky enough to find a place the size of a few acres.

Everywhere they passed, the resin beads were basically looted by Sheng Long. The soil layer in the mountains is shallow, and the resin beads are not buried deep for many years, so as long as the golden thread rat of the climate finds the right place, it will not leak out. Dabie Deep Mountain is not Gusu City, Cheng Tianle can't find all the places, what he collected is only a small part of this mountain, but in the end it is also full of twelve boxes.

In addition to the resin beads, Sheng Long also found another thing in the depths of the mountain crevice buried in sand and rubble, and took a lot of effort to take it out and handed it to Cheng Tianle as if offering a treasure. Sheng Long is good at searching for all kinds of natural treasures. But he didn't know the treasures of heaven and earth, at least he didn't know what the names of various things were, but he could sense the pure and specific physical properties and distinguish which things might be used for refining. If he asks him what he is looking for and demonstrates it in kind, he can find it quickly.

This time, Sheng Long took out a branch from the ground, about two feet long and the thickness of his wrist, and the shape of the knot should be a snowflake dragon branch, but I don't know how many years it has been buried underground. When the soil was scraped off, the surface turned purplish-red. Sensing its physical properties with divine sense, the purity and peculiarity are no longer woody, but I can't tell what kind of texture it is.

Wood buried underground, if by chance, can not rot for thousands of years. Variations may also occur gradually in this process, and the results may vary depending on the burial environment and geological conditions. The most common is coal. Ancient buried vegetation is completely charred, a process that may have been going on for hundreds of millions of years. The rarer is the tree jade, also known as petrified wood or wood jade, which is the replacement of the carbon element in the wood by the silicon element, and finally becomes crystal like jade, this process takes at least hundreds of millions of years.

According to Sheng Long, the breath he sensed underground should be a whole snowflake dragon tree buried underground, and I don't know how many years have passed, and finally only such a branch remains. And the snowflake dragon tree was even bigger than what you could see at the gateway of the Lianyun Secret Realm, and it may have been washed into the stone crevice and buried by the mountain torrent in the ancient era.

Cheng Tianle sensed the physical properties of this branch, not gloomy wood nor silicified jade. It condenses the purest physical essence of the snowflake dragon wood, but I don't know what kind of mutation has occurred. Condensed a wind blade and cut it on it, leaving only a shallow mark with his fierce mana, and the texture of its interior was also purple-red, with a slight translucent snowflake pattern.

This is definitely a kind of natural treasure that can be used to create magic weapons, and it is difficult to find such a thing specifically to find it. It's often a matter of chance. This thing also contains some impurities that need to be slowly refined, what is the magic in the end, Cheng Tianle is eager to figure it out, so put it away first and then study it slowly when he goes back.

This snow dragon wood pith doesn't look big, but it can weigh dozens of pounds in your hand, but fortunately, it can be carried by Cheng Tianle. This time I went into the mountains to collect elixirs, and I came prepared. He and Sheng Long both carried mountaineering bags, Cheng Tianle was not greedy, his plans and ideas were very simple, collect as many resin beads as possible, and if there were enough buried in Dabie Mountain, then fill the backpack before leaving.

In addition to other things, the backpacks of the two could only hold twelve wooden boxes, and in the end, there was still some room left for Cheng Tianle to make a small wooden box. Just as he was collecting the resin beads of the last small wooden box, Sheng Long made another discovery—he found the lair of the turtle beast!

Sheng Long found traces of the turtle beast in a narrow valley, a ravine with gravel and silt at the bottom, and many snowflakes and dragon trees growing on the cliffs on both sides, and the clouds and mist were everywhere all year round. If the two of them hadn't gone out of their way to find a place where there might be resin beads, they wouldn't have come to such a place.

Just deep underground, Sheng Long discovered the hole drilled out of the original body of the suspected turtle beast, and Cheng Tianle followed him into the ground with his divine sense, and also noticed the unique "demonic aura". Fortunately, Cheng Tianle was here, and it was impossible for an ordinary monk to distinguish so clearly the unique vitality and rhythm characteristics of various monsters, and Cheng Tianle had fought with the Xuangui Beast and was familiar with its breath.

It seems that the Xuan Turtle Beast has appeared in this area in the past few days, and it has also used its original body to exert the mana of traversing, otherwise it would not have left this kind of aura if it was restrained and sneaking. Cheng Tianle was also afraid that Sheng Long would suddenly encounter an accident with the Turtle Beast underground, so he did not let him trace the path of the Turtle Beast directly, but followed a parallel route along the place where the traces could be detected, and kept drilling out of the ground and going down, so that Cheng Tianle's divine sense could track and protect him at any time.

Eventually, at the end of the ravine, the monster's "cave" was discovered. It is actually a big hole in the mountain, there are five zhang square under the width and narrowness, and it is impossible to see it from the outside, but there are many cracks in the cliff wall, although it cannot allow the turtle beast to enter and exit, but it can be ventilated outside the mountain cliff with zigzags and turns. The entrance to the cave is deep underground, and the turtle beast is very secret from being discovered. If it weren't for Sheng Long, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find this kind of place if I changed people.

The monster was not in the cave, and it was impossible for Cheng Tianle to drill through the cracks in the stone from the ground like a pangolin, so he used a spell to bombard the mountain wall, shattering the two-foot-thick rock layer by layer, and finally penetrated the cave of the demon cultivation and walked in. This place was supposed to be a natural hollow in the mountain, which was occasionally discovered by the turtle beast, and after some excavation and construction, the shape of the space became very regular, and there were neat lines on the stone wall that seemed to have been combed, which were scratches of sharp teeth.

The cave is not damp, there is a flat boulder like a stone bed, covered with dry soft grass, this grass has been refined by simple mana, it is both soft and comfortable. There is also a square stone platform in the cave, which looks a little like it was used for meditation, and next to it there are stones shaped like tables and stools, which are obviously also processed rather than naturally shaped, and there is nothing else in the cave.

Seeing this kind of scene, Cheng Tianle couldn't help but wonder, it seems that this Xuan Turtle Beast is not only cultivating in its original body, but also turning into a human form in the cave to sit and breathe! If it was just the original body of the turtle beast, it would be possible to say that there was a stone bed for resting, but it was obviously a stone table and stone bench that was cut into artificiality, and the turtle beast didn't need it, of course, it imitated the appearance of the human world.

His suspicion was then confirmed, and Sheng Long found human footprints in a floating earth spot on the edge of the cave, which were shoe prints rather than footprints - which meant that the monster still wore shoes!

The things in the cave are so clean, the monster should have left, as if he didn't plan to come back. Entering and exiting this kind of cave can only be used to burrow into the ground with the original body and carry the package, and when it reaches the outside of the mountain, it will turn into a human form and put on clothes, I am afraid that no one will recognize it. This hidden cave is very important to the monsters, for example, when Sheng Long survives the wind and evil tribulation, someone must protect the Dharma, and Cheng Tianle enters the Lianyun Secret Realm, so the mountain and wild demon cultivators need this kind of safe environment even more.

Why did the monster leave the hidden cave that had been in operation for many years? It was most likely frightened away by the disciples of the Lianyun Sect. In the past few days, the Lianyun Sect has searched the mountains in the place where it once haunted, and this demon has both spiritual intelligence and human form, and must have understood what is going on, so he packed up his things and fled away.

If it no longer reveals its original form, it is usually almost impossible to find it again, but it is not absolutely without clues. According to the information that has been obtained, it took away Ye Ziqiao's magic weapon and a jade bottle that he had brought with him, and if it was discovered by an insider, it would be equivalent to exposing his whereabouts. On the other hand, Cheng Tianle is familiar with its vitality and rhythm characteristics, if it is not well converged and encounters it in the red dust, no matter what it changes, Cheng Tianle can still recognize it.

This ravine, in fact, is not far from the place where Cheng Tianle was attacked by the Xuan Turtle Beast, but it is separated by steep mountains and cliffs, and it is not easy to walk. Cheng Tianle and Sheng Long found this place because they collected resin beads and went around in a big circle in the mountains. I think that the turtle beast should not have gone over the mountain, maybe there is another passage deep underground that can directly pass through there, so it comes and goes without a trace.

Since this discovery, of course, I have to notify the Lianyun faction, but there is no mobile phone signal here, and even if I can get through the phone, I can't get through to the cloud secret realm. Calculate the path, walking from here to the outside of the mountain is much closer than returning to the Lianyun Secret Realm from the mountain, so Cheng Tianle and Sheng Long also quietly went down the mountain. Out of the deep mountains is a local city, and the contact place of the Lianyun faction outside the mountain is in the urban area, and Cheng Tianle now knows the contact information.

It is not convenient to carry so many resin beads on your back, and it is still the old way, so I asked the express to pack and send twelve boxes of resin beads to the Suzhou Dream Lake Beauty Frog Hotel, so that the demons could collect them first. Then Cheng Tianle contacted the disciples of Lianyun stationed at the foot of the mountain, and the disciples of the Lianyun faction took the news very seriously, and immediately sent someone up the mountain overnight to report to the Lianyun Secret Realm.
