The Mystery of the Core

"Do you want to take a look at the very core?"

Although the Sky Azure Bull Python's voice carried some surprise, it also looked as though it had expected this.

As Zhao Xuan kept asking questions, it had vaguely felt that he would make such a request. It knew a little about human curiosity.

"However..."

"However what?" Zhao Xuan asked with a frown.

"There's something strange inside. Even Spirit Beasts like us don't dare investigate it lightly."

"Strange? As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, are you actually afraid of such things?"

"Afraid? You could say that. I don't have your level of curiosity. I'm living just fine, and I don't want to get involved with it for no reason. After all, no one knows what's inside."

"Several hundred-thousand-year beings once went in to investigate, and they were never seen again."

"Zhao Xuan, do you know how many years I've lived?"

"Hm?"

Zhao Xuan froze. Why ask that? Didn't a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast live
