"It collapsed! The mine collapsed..."
"I'm sorry... how could this mine collapse?"
"It's too dangerous. If we were inside, wouldn't we all be crushed underneath and turn into a pulp?"
The other miners were stunned when they saw this.
"What's going on?"
At this time, Elder Li Yuan also came over and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
"I don't know why it happened suddenly."
Gu Sheng was secretly surprised on the side.
Elder Li Yuan frowned, and then summoned his divine power.
After a while, he felt a different kind of violence contained in this energy fluctuation.
"This..."
Elder Li Yuan looked serious, feeling that this was no ordinary strange beast.
"Huh..."
He took a deep breath, and the divine power in his body surged like a tide again.
Suddenly, Elder Li Yuan's pupils shrank sharply, feeling that there was power coming towards him.
And behind him, it was Gu Sheng and other miners!
"Everyone, stay back and I'll deal with it!"
Elder Li Yuan shouted loudly.
When the miners heard Elder Li Yuan's words, they retreated one after another.
"Get out! Get out!"
"Everyone, move quickly! There is a monster!"
They know the strength of Elder Li Yuan and believe that he can protect them.
Gu Sheng Although he was horrified, he did not flinch.
He stood by, ready to back him up.
"Little Sheng, you go too!"
Elder Li Yuan scolded.
"Elder, I'll stay and help!"
Gu Sheng replied.
"No! What we are facing may be Northern Region underground beasts. You staying here will only add to the burden! Leave quickly! See if you can find other Shaking Light Holy Land cultivators and let them help!"
Elder Li Yuan ordered.
Gu Sheng wanted to tell Elder Li Yuan that he had some divine power.
But if you tell him, your identity will be exposed.
After weighing the matter, Gu Sheng still agreed, "Yes! Elder, please be careful!"
After saying that, Gu Sheng turned and walked aside.
Then, Elder Li Yuan slowly walked forward.
As he walked forward, he could feel the energy fluctuations getting stronger and stronger, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
"Uh-huh!"
He waved his hand suddenly, and a beam of light transformed from divine power shot straight to the ground,
"Boom!"
There was a sudden explosion.
The solid ground cracked open instantly, and a huge dark black python emerged from the ground.
The python's head was huge, almost as big as a bucket.
Its eyes were red and emitted a heart-stopping, ferocious light.
The appearance of the python made the already panicked miners even more panicked.
They were hiding in the distance and fled again, screaming one after another.
Elder Li Yuan showed no fear at all, and divine power surged through his body.
"Chichichi!"
The divine power formed a halo of divine power around the body.
He knew that if he couldn't get a python, these mining areas would become no man's land!
Or it may become a forbidden area for Northern Region!
"Yah!"
Suddenly, the python let out a deafening roar.
Its huge body swung violently, and a gust of wind followed.
"Crash!"
The surrounding rocks and dust were swept up, forming a huge whirlwind.
The whirlwind, mixed with rocks and dust, flew towards Elder Li Yuan.
Elder Li Yuan stood on the spot and did not hide. Instead, he summoned his divine power and took it calmly.
Soon, Elder Li Yuan was at the center of the whirlpool.
His body seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth, and his divine power competed with the strong wind.
Fortunately, Elder Li Yuan is the Grand Elder of Shaking Light Holy Land, so his strength is not limited.
"Little whirlwind, what can you do to me?"
Elder Li Yuan A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
This python seems to be psychic.
When he saw Elder Li Yuan's posture, he was stunned for a moment, and then started again.
This time, its huge tail swiped violently, hitting Elder Li Yuan directly with a sound of breaking through the air.
"Whoosh!"
Elder Li Yuan dodged the blow easily.
Then, Elder Li Yuan formed a seal with his hands, and streams of divine power glowing with golden light surged out of his hands.
These divine powers formed beams of light that intertwined in the air, forming a huge light net that enveloped the python.
The python felt the powerful power contained in the light network, and it began to struggle desperately, trying to escape.
"Sigh..."
There were roars.
"Hmph!"
Elder Li Yuan snorted coldly and put his hands together suddenly.
In an instant, the light net shrank suddenly and tightly bound the python.
The python roared in pain again...
Its body was squeezed tighter and tighter by the light net, almost to the point of being strangled.
Some of them had blood drawn from them.
At this moment, a abnormal force burst out from the python's body from nowhere.
I saw it twisting its body suddenly, and after it almost reached the point where it could no longer twist, an explosion sound was heard.
"Boom!"
Elder Li Yuan took a closer look and saw that the python actually opened the light net.
"I... go!"
Elder Li Yuan was shocked when he saw this.
He knew that this python had some background.
"Chichichi!"
Soon, the python's body suddenly became transparent and seemed to blend in with the surrounding environment.
Elder Li Yuan saw this and quickly closed his eyes.
Then, his consciousness began to spread like air waves, trying to catch the traces of the python.
Soon, he felt the energy fluctuations of the python.
Elder Li Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, waved his hands, and a beam of divine power hit that direction.
"Crack!"
There was a thunderous sound in the direction of the hit.
Immediately afterwards, the python appeared again.
At this time, its body was hit by the divine beam, and it let out a painful roar.
Elder Li Yuan didn't give it a chance to breathe. He flashed and flew above the python.
Quality, Elder Li Yuan's body drew a dazzling stream of light in mid-air.
"Uh-huh!"
His speed is so fast that it is almost impossible to catch it with the naked eye.
At that moment, his figure was like a bolt of lightning, directly penetrating the python's head.
"Boom!"
The python's head exploded at this moment.
The whole scene was filled with blood and flesh and was too horrific to watch.
However, even after receiving a fatal blow, the python's body still squirmed driven by instinct.
Its huge body moved towards the hole, as if it wanted to return to its original nest.
However, its fire of life had been extinguished, and after moving a few times, its body finally stopped moving.
Elder Li Yuan slowly landed on the ground, his face a little pale.
Obviously, the battle just now consumed a lot of his divine power.
"The elder has won! The elder has won!"
"President Li is so awesome!"
"The python was finally killed. There was no danger, and we can survive again..."
The miners breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the python was finally defeated.
They gathered around and expressed their respect and gratitude to Elder Li Yuan.
Gu Sheng also came over and praised sincerely, "Elder Li Yuan, thank you so much."
Elder Li Yuan smiled slightly and waved his hand, indicating that everyone should not be too nervous.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, this monster has been defeated by me."
Elder Li Yuan said reluctantly.
When the miners heard Elder Li Yuan's words, the fear in their hearts gradually dissipated.
But Gu Sheng standing aside could see that Elder Li Yuan seemed to have reached the extreme level of exhaustion.
"Elder... are you... are you okay?"
Gu Sheng stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Huh..."
Elder Li Yuan took a deep breath and said, "It's okay..."
But after finishing speaking, Elder Li Yuan suddenly coughed several times.
It seemed that he had suffered quite a lot of internal injuries during the fight with the python.
"Little Sheng, let everyone go back and rest today. Other mining areas will also rest."
Elder Li Yuan ordered.
Gu Sheng agreed directly without hesitation, "Yes!"
Subsequently, Gu Sheng informed other miners of the news.
Soon, all the miners in the scene went back to rest, leaving only Gu Sheng, Tu Fei and Old Li Tou next to Elder Li Yuan.
Elder Li Yuan Seeing that none of them were outsiders, he turned his head and looked at the body of the python and said, "This python has a lot of background. I plan to go underground to have a look. Which of you will follow me?"
"Me!"
"I'll go!"
Gu Sheng and Tu Fei said in unison.
Only Old Li Tou stood aside without any reaction.
"Little Sheng, you come with me, Tu Fei, you and Lao Li are waiting here. Remember, don't let other miners in, especially you, don't act without authorization!"
Elder Li Yuan ordered.
"Um..."
Tu Fei was speechless, but after hearing Elder Li Yuan's order, he still agreed, "Yes! Got it."
Elder Li Yuan nodded.
In his opinion, Gu Sheng is young and very powerful.
Especially responsive and a trustworthy partner.
"Okay, let's set off."
Elder Li Yuan said, then took the lead into the entrance of the mine that collapsed due to the python rushing out.
Gu Sheng followed closely, and the two figures quickly disappeared into the dark mine.
The passage inside the mine has become a little narrow due to the previous battle.
The gravel and dust ahead accumulated on the ground, making walking somewhat difficult.
"Huhuhu..."
After walking for a while, Gu Sheng felt a cold wind blowing.
The small breeze made him shiver involuntarily.
"Why does it feel so cold?"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"Well, I feel it too, which means there must be space ahead."
Elder Li Yuan nodded.
"Space?"
Gu Sheng was immediately stunned, "Is there still space underground?"
"Not bad."
Elder Li Yuan replied without looking back.
Then, both of them quickened their pace and moved in the direction of the wind.
Soon, a huge underground space appeared in front of them.
"Isn't this... this space too big?"
Gu Sheng was stunned when he saw this.
He never thought that there was such a huge space hidden under this land.
What surprised him even more was that in the center of this space, there was an ancient tower standing!
The ancient tower towers into the clouds, and its body exudes a faint blue light, as if it is the center of this underground world.
Gu Sheng turned his head and looked at Elder Li Yuan, his eyes full of doubts.
"Elder, what is this place? What is that tower?"
Gu Sheng asked.
A complicated look flashed in Elder Li Yuan's eyes.
"Huh..."
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "This tower, named Earth Core Tower, is the source of power for Northern Region. Its existence maintains the balance and stability of the entire Northern Region."
"Huh?"
Gu Sheng's eyes showed a look of shock.
He didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to see the mysterious source of Northern Region.
"Then what do we do next?"
Gu Sheng asked.
Elder Li Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's check around first to see if there are any other abnormalities here. The existence of Earth Core Tower is not trivial. We must proceed with caution."
"Yeah."
Gu Sheng nodded and followed Elder Li Yuan.
Gu Sheng's eyes lingered at the entrance of the passage, and they could feel the chill coming from there, as if something was warning them not to get close.
"Elder, do we really want to go in?"
Gu Sheng's voice was filled with uncertainty.
"Huh..."
Elder Li Yuan took a deep breath, "We must go in, Earth Core Tower's secret is crucial to us."
"Um..."
Gu Sheng is really speechless.
I still have to go into this eerie place. Isn't that asking for death?
But then again, if Earth Core Tower really has something good, I can just follow it.
Maybe it will be of great help to your own practice.
In this way, the two slowly walked into the passage.
They were careful every step they took, for fear of triggering some unknown mechanism.
The interior of the passage was dark and damp, the walls were covered with moss, and there was a musty smell in the air.
"Da da da..."
The sound of some water drops was heard very clearly.
Especially their footsteps echoed very clearly in the passage.
Just when they walked about a hundred meters, Gu Sheng suddenly stopped.
He pointed to the wall in front of him and said in surprise, "Elder, look there!"
Elder Li Yuan looked in the direction pointed by Gu Sheng.
I saw a hidden mechanism on the wall, which seemed to be a passage leading to Earth Core Tower.
He hesitated for a moment and decided to walk forward.
But just when Elder Li Yuan took a step, a blue-purple flame suddenly spewed out of the passage, rushing towards him like a fiery snake.
"Chichichi!"
Elder Li Yuan hurriedly used his divine power to try to resist this sudden attack.
However, this blue-purple flame seemed to have some strange power. It actually ignored Elder Li Yuan's divine defense and sank directly into his body.
"Not good!"
Elder Li Yuan suddenly felt that the situation was not good.
At that moment, his face instantly turned pale, and the divine power in his body began to become disordered.
Then, he immediately took Gu Sheng back to the safe area in the passage.
He sat cross-legged and immediately summoned his divine power to force the blue-purple flame out of his body.
"Little Sheng, protector!"
Elder Li Yuan ordered.
"Yes!"
Gu Sheng responded and stood next to Elder Li Yuan, alert to the surrounding situation.
After finding no abnormality, Gu Sheng looked at Elder Li Yuan.
His forehead was covered with cold sweat.
At the same time, his body was trembling involuntarily.
"Elder, are you okay?"
Gu Sheng asked softly.
He knew that the attack of this blue-purple flame was no small matter. If not dealt with in time, it might cause irreversible damage to Life Spring.
