After obtaining that wisp of Dragon Qi from Sea Cannon, Lin Yuan's Explore the Sea had developed a trace of sentience. Its sensing was presumably reliable.
If this mountain really contained Dragon Qi, this trip would be a huge windfall.
So far, aside from that clearly forged Ancient Text, Lin Yuan had found no information about Dragon Qi.
Although that Ancient Text said there was Dragon Qi in the Life Sect's Secret Realm Ancient Land, considering that the text itself was a forgery, even if there really was Dragon Qi there, there probably would not be much.
If he could obtain enough Dragon Qi on Panlong Mountain, that would certainly be an unexpected delight.
"Come on, let's search this place thoroughly!"
With that thought, Lin Yuan immediately became fully alert and called everyone over to begin searching.
Soon, they reached the village the surviving inhabitants had built at the foot of the mountain.
The entire village had been reduced to ruins, with hardly a single intact building left, presumably as a result of the battle between Hongyan and the Crawlers who had come to intercept and kill him.
When Lin Yuan had questioned those inhabitants earlier, he had asked them about the specifics of Panlong Mountain.
At the time, he had only wanted to determine whether they were telling the truth, but now their account could also serve as a map.
"Using the village as a reference point, we can divide Panlong Mountain into several areas."
Lin Yuan recalled what the inhabitants had said:
"The places the villagers frequent are low-risk areas, with practically nothing good in them."
"Farther into the mountain are high-risk areas the villagers rarely enter."
"Then there are the uninhabited areas the villagers are forbidden to enter."
"Let's start searching the uninhabited areas directly."
