"Found it!"
Hearing that faint sound, Xiao Ming's eyes flashed with a smile. He spread out his Soul Power and carefully searched the direction from which the sound had come.
Yet once Xiao Ming began searching in earnest, the sound strangely vanished again, as though it had never appeared.
"Why did it hide again?"
Xiao Ming raised his brows slightly and lowered his gaze. If anyone could truly hide here, it could only be beneath the mud. Without further hesitation, he suddenly reached down with his hand.
"Splash!"
With one grasp, Xiao Ming left a palm print in the sandy ground. As sand and rocks rolled aside, an enormous iron chain over a hundred zhang long was completely exposed before him.
Seeing the colossal chain, Xiao Ming's lips curved upward slightly. He grabbed through the air and slowly pulled the chain out. As it emerged, the surrounding ground suddenly began to shake.
Three more massive iron chains rose from the mud. All of them were connected to the gigantic mountains around them, and no matter how they were pulled, they could not be budged.
Xiao Ming paid no attention to where the chains were locked. His gaze remained fixed on the center of the four chains, where a huge mass of black mud lay.
Looking at that mass of mud, Xiao Ming smiled and casually waved his hand. The mud was blasted apart, revealing what lay within.
It was a person!
A person whose entire body was shriveled like a skeleton!
"Though he is extremely weak, I can still see how powerful he was in his prime. As expected of the most talented person in the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe. My trip here was not wasted!"
As Xiao Ming looked at the skeletal figure, delight flashed through his eyes.
