Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money - Chapter 194

194 The Danger Hidden In the Dark

[You have no taste, brat! I’m the famous Penglai Immortal Beast!]

On the other hand, Ye Xuan almost laughed out loud when he heard the crazy complaints of the Penglai Immortal Beasts in his supreme sense. He comforted them in his mind.

[There’s no other way. We’d better keep a low profile. If these people find out about your identity, they’ll be scared to death.]

Ye Xuan’s comforting words were obviously very effective. The Penglai Immortal Beast didn’t say anything more after a few words of ridicule.

!!
[By the way, you said that the place was a little strange. What is it?]

[It seems to be a mine. Anyway, there’s something wrong with the atmosphere there. If you go in, you must be careful.]

Mine?

Ye Xuan fell into deep thought. For the Penglai Immortal Beast to say such words, there must be something extraordinary about that place. Could it be the strange spirit stone mine that Wu Hai and the others had mentioned before?

They could be considered lucky. Along the way, they didn’t encounter any demonic beasts. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble they would meet?

A blurry shadow appeared in everyone’s field of vision. It was vaguely in the shape of a cave. The Penglai Immortal Beast stopped and nodded at Ye Xuan and the others.

Wu Hai looked at the map in his hand and then at the cave in front of him. He shouted, “This is the spirit stone mine.”

They didn’t expect that with the help of these demonic beasts, they would actually find it. Everyone’s eyes instantly changed.

Since they were already here, there was no reason to leave. It was not easy for the thick fog to clear up a lot, making it easy for them to find a place. If they left now, who knew if there would be any more accidents next time?

Ye Xuan suggested, “Why don’t we go in and see what’s going on inside?”

“But the others…”

He Feng was a little worried. He said, “After all, we don’t have many people. It’s easy to encounter danger if we separate.”

Shen Changling didn’t agree with him. He said, “Is there an advantage in numbers when exploring a secret realm? Moreover, if those disciples encounter any danger that they can’t deal with, they can retreat back into the city.”

They had agreed earlier that if they split up in the forest, they could retreat back to Changping City if they were faced with monsters they couldn’t deal with.

Therefore, Ye Xuan also distributed a lot of life-saving magic weapons and talismans. Even if they were separated, as long as they weren’t ridiculously powerful demonic beasts, they had a chance of survival.

“We’re here to find this mine in the first place.”

As such, He Feng had nothing to say.

Ye Xuan took the lead and walked into the mine with a few Penglai Immortal Beasts leading the way. Because of the unknown dangers in the mine, Ye Xuan didn’t let them return to the medium.

Even if there were any unexpected accidents, they would at least have a few more helpers.

The mine was very narrow, and there was a faint unpleasant smell. It seemed to be a mixture of blood and mud, and many people covered their mouths and noses.

Ye Xuan’s fingertips emitted a spiritual light, and the rising flames illuminated the surrounding environment. Even he couldn’t help but show a shocked expression.

Dark red blood scabs were all over the rock walls, almost everywhere, even the ground.

The others were also dumbfounded. Someone commented, “What the h*ll happened here?”

From these bloodstains, it wasn’t difficult to imagine what kind of fierce battle had taken place here. Otherwise, how could the blood cover everywhere? A rough estimate showed that there were probably dozens of people who shed blood here.

“It seems that the situation back then was worse than we had imagined. Just what made these people fight each other? Most importantly, their bodies have yet to be found.”

The last point was the most incredible thing.

Logically speaking, if they were fighting for an ordinary spirit mine, they wouldn’t be like this. The key was that after these people had a dispute and conflict, it was as if they had lost their minds and would fight to the death.

“Their bodies might be buried in this mine,” Wu Hai guessed.

He couldn’t help but feel around the wall, trying to find some clues. However, he didn’t know what he touched, and his body trembled as if an electric current had passed through it.

He looked up at the ceiling and vaguely saw the shape of an eye. He rubbed his eyes and thought he was hallucinating. When he looked again, there was nothing.

“Did you guys see anything?”

The others shook their heads and tried to look away. They didn’t pay attention to the blood next to them to avoid feeling nauseated. Fortunately, there were no broken limbs or even more disgusting scenes.

Wu Hai was stunned for a moment. He looked at the people walking in front of him. Was he the only one who could see those eyes?

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his eyelids were fighting to stay open, and his consciousness was a little groggy.

Ye Xuan turned around and glanced at Wu Hai. He seemed to be a little uncomfortable and kept rubbing his eyes.

A large amount of blood around them coupled with the dark environment inevitably made them feel a little depressed. No one spoke, but this narrow tunnel seemed to have no end as if there was no end at all.

“How much longer do we have to walk?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

Everyone had the illusion that if they continued to walk like this, they could even possibly reach the nine nether prison.

Just when everyone thought they were going to continue walking, a wall appeared in front of them.

“There’s actually no path.”

“Could we have gone the wrong way?”

“That’s impossible. There’s only one path here, and there aren’t any forks. How could we have gone the wrong way?”

Everyone stopped in their tracks and started discussing.

Ye Xuan felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. He turned to Wu Hai and asked, “Didn’t you say that the mine collapsed? But where are the signs of it collapsing?”

The others agreed. There wasn’t even a trace of broken rocks, let alone a sign of collapse. There was no spirit stone mine at all.

At this moment, Wu Hai was walking at the back. His head was lowered and he didn’t say a word. No one knew what he was thinking.
