Chapter 385: Underground Veins
The Dragon Blood Divine Palm that covered the sky and the sun came and went very suddenly, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving only the ground unrecognizable.
"Let's go!"
Hong Yuan recovered from the shock and led the people to leave in a hurry.
In the darkness, a powerful aura came from far and near, including the masters of the Alliance Vine Armor Legion, and the great masters of the Hualong Empire riding dragons, all of them at a fast speed. But by the time they arrived, it was quiet all around, and Hong Yuan and the others had already walked away.
With the help of the cover of night and dense forests, Hong Yuan led the Battle Pet Legion and the Hong Family Army to retreat to the temporary camp in the nameless valley, shrinking the scope of their activities to temporarily avoid the edge and avoid the search of various forces.
Outside the cave, Xu Wenbin, Gui Wu and others quickly set up defenses to hide the traces of the army; after many soldiers were busy with their work, they gathered together in twos and threes, and talked excitedly.
Nearly 6,000 Dragon-Blood Warriors were wiped out in one night, a feat that was unimaginable before. In the eyes of the world, the dragon-blooded warriors of the Hualong Empire are extremely vicious and irresistible killing gods, and it is not easy to kill a dragon-blooded warrior on the battlefield. The reason why people joined the Hong family army was to respond to Hong Yuan's recruitment order to go into battle to kill the enemy and defend the alliance, and it was their dream to kill the dragon blood warriors, but they never expected that this day would come so suddenly!
The soldiers were excited and gathered to celebrate the victory tonight.
In one of the innermost grottoes of the cave, Hong Yuan sat cross-legged on a stone slab, quietly combing through the gains and losses.
Tonight's action was a bit regrettable, not catching the poisonous dragon Hou Ouyang Bi, but basically completing the task, so that the team of dragon blood warriors who attacked at night were all wiped out. In addition, a strong poisonous dragon was also collected, and the war pet army had another powerful war pet.
The Tenglong Mountain Range obtained such a record in the first battle, and if you are lucky, you can complete the task ahead of schedule with a few more ambushes like this!
Hong Yuan was also quite excited, listening to the discussion of the soldiers outside the grotto, he closed his eyes and began to concentrate on cultivation after smiling.
According to Ge Hong's instructions, his mission to the Tenglong Mountain Range this time was mainly to secretly harass the flank and rear of the Dragon Blood Legion, such a task was still acceptable, and Hong Yuan also liked it. If he can secretly draw a cold knife to bleed the Dragonblood Legion, he will never be stupid and carry it head-on, and those bloody battles that make people's blood boil are better left to the Vine Armor Legion.
With the current strength of the Battle Pet Legion, it is not too difficult to complete the mission, as evidenced by tonight's operation. In the battle of Heishui River, Hong Yuan had greater confidence, but this battle also exposed a huge hidden worry. If you accidentally encounter the top master of the Hualong Empire, it will be troublesome, and it is possible that the sneak attack will not succeed but suffer serious losses, or even the whole army will be wiped out in turn. Night Falling Sky, the Night Demon Grand Commander with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Battle Pet Legion, still has a big gap compared to Mu Qianbu, the Dragon Blood Sanctuary Protector Elder!
Hong Yuan's face was solemn, thinking of the overwhelming giant palm that suddenly appeared in the sky above the Black Dragon River, and his heart was still shocked. After taking a few deep breaths, he cut off all distracting thoughts and calmed down to concentrate on cultivation. The battle of the Heishui River made Hong Yuan realize once again that his own cultivation was fundamental. The cultivation is insufficient, and when you meet a real strong person, let alone compete, you can't even run.
Wisps of heaven and earth aura penetrated through the thick layer of soil and infiltrated into the body, and Hong Yuan silently recited the exercises to replenish the consumed vitality.
The concentration of aura in the Tenglong Mountain Range is good, and it is not inferior to Night Dragon City, and it is even faintly thicker. In addition, in other places, the aura of heaven and earth is all free in the air, but the Tenglong Mountain Range is different, it seems that more aura seeps up from the ground, and there is an endless amount of aura hidden in the depths of the ground.
"Under the Tenglong Mountain Range, is there really a dragon-shaped vein?"
Hong Yuan's heart moved, and he remembered another task that Ge Hong had ordered.
According to Ge Hong, the Tenglong Mountain Range is not only a key location for soldiers, but also the location of the largest mineral vein in the alliance. What the alliance needs is not only to defend the highland of the Tenglong Mountain Range, but also to the mineral veins deep underground, and urgently need huge mineral vein resources to supplement the consumption of the Night Dragon Clan's holy land.
Hong Yuan silently recited the mental method to urge the divine soul, and the powerful divine thought penetrated the thick layer of soil all the way down, exploring the secrets deep underground.
Ten meters underground, there were all kinds of ores, but unfortunately the quality was very average;
Fifty meters underground, a natural spar gradually appeared, containing pure energy. However, these spars are very scattered and not connected into patches, and it is not easy to excavate them;
The divine thought continued to go deeper, and after reaching one hundred and ten meters underground, the spars were obviously denser, and the quality was getting higher and higher.
Hong Yuan took a deep breath and urged his divine soul to the extreme to thoroughly explore the underground ore veins, and his divine thoughts continued to go deeper little by little, and slowly, he vaguely sensed an almost endless source of spiritual energy, as if a sea of spiritual energy was sealed deep underground. In addition, this sea of aura will continue to move, flowing in the depths of the ground like flowing water.
Ge Hong was really right, there was a huge treasure vein under the Tenglong Mountain Range!
That's the legendary dragon-shaped vein!
Hong Yuan became excited, and Shen Nian subconsciously continued to go deeper, and he was caught off guard, Shen Nian seemed to suddenly bump into something, and an extremely dangerous feeling came to his mind.
"It's not good, it's an ancient ban!"
Hong Yuan pinched the magic trick in his hand, and quickly withdrew his divine thoughts that went deep underground, after experiencing so many turmoil and tribulations, his senses were already very sharp and fast, but he was still a step slower. Countless vine-like black shadows suddenly appeared in the depths of the earth, and in less than a thousandth of an instant, the divine mind was severely damaged, and almost the entire person's consciousness was lost in the depths of the ground.
Hong Yuan snorted, and almost withdrew his divine thoughts, a faint roar sounded in his ears, and a long whip seemed to follow from the depths of the ground, and he whipped it down fiercely. The roar was like thunder, echoing in his ears all the time, almost dispersing the divine thoughts that Hong Yuan had finally withdrawn, and the three souls and seven spirits were almost gone.
"Awesome, what the hell is that black shadow? Guardian of the Underground Vein?"
Hong Yuan slowly came back to his senses, there was no long whip in the grotto, and he didn't feel anything unusual or dangerous, it seemed to be his illusion. But when he looked down, there was a bloody whip mark on his chest. There is no doubt that it was definitely not an illusion just now, there are majestic veins deep underground, and there is also a great danger!
Hong Yuan didn't know what the vine-like black shadow was, maybe it was a special ancient prohibition, maybe it was some kind of demon, but one thing was for sure, that thing was extremely dangerous. It's normal to think about it, if there is no danger, the veins deep underground in the Tenglong Mountain Range are probably hollowed out long ago.
"Dead old man, it's really not a good thing to let yourself come to the Tenglong Mountain Range, no wonder you don't have to go into battle to fight head-on with the Dragon Blood Legion of the Hualong Empire!"
"Where is the entrance to this underground dragon-shaped vein?
Taking a closer look at the blood marks on his chest, Hong Yuan gasped. At this time, I realized how dangerous the task of seizing the dragon-shaped ore vein was, compared to the Night Demon Stone Forest, this mission was only ten times more dangerous!
