C2387 Nocturnal Exploration of Small Mountains

The night was hazy, as if the heavens were already extremely disappointed with the chaotic situation that was currently hidden from view. They couldn't bear to let that bright and pure moon appear in the sky above the heads of the common people.

Under the cover of the night, the small mountains that had undergone the baptism of fire and blood looked even more desolate and dilapidated. Under the cover of darkness, the small mountains that had undergone the baptism of fire and blood looked even more desolate and dilapidated.

Amidst the gray fog, only the mountain gate that was half broken seemed to be telling the world about Little Fang Mountain, an existence that had once stood at the peak of many sects, the glory and glory of the past …

Between the broken walls, there was a man and a beast. Under the cover of the dark night, they watched everything with complicated expressions.

This man and this beast, apart from the Yin essence water beast and Lin Bai, who else could it be? Since the flying sword had been forged, it could be considered as having fulfilled Lin Bai's wish to live in seclusion. The rest of the matter was related to the ownership of the ore veins in the Little Fang Mountain which had many top grade spirit stones. With the longsword in his hands, Lin Bai naturally wanted to revisit the area and take a look at the current situation.

Although Lin Bai had already heard about the miserable state of these small mountains from Leng Zhan and the jade artifact elder before he had come here, he hadn't thought that these small mountains, which had once been in glory, would now look like this.

In fact, Lin Bai had even discovered that the soil beneath his and the Sound Essence Water Beast's feet was now completely devoid of any color. They were all black and red, dyed red by blood, and there was still a lingering smell of blood.

After Gu Taixu's death, many people died in the fierce battle in which the small mountains were destroyed. According to what the jade artifact elder had said, almost all of the sects in the small mountain range had been annihilated by the Spirit Spring Sect and the other sects. A sect that used to be the leader of the underworld had become a bloody thing in the past.

During that battle, Little Fang Shan's performance was formidable. Those old monsters of the elder level who were cultivating behind closed doors all came out in full strength, even releasing all the resources they had accumulated over the years. Even so, even if they had all they had, they could not stop the army from collapsing. They were still slaughtered without a single piece remaining.

The main force of this battle was the combination of the Spirit Spring Sect, which occupied the top of the hidden world, and many other large and small sects as well as the lone soul wild ghosts. This enormous thing from the past had finally reached the end.

"Watch him get up from the pavilion, watch him feast on the guests, and watch his building collapse!" "This pile of moss and jade tiles will watch until one is full …" Looking at this scene, Lin Bai could not help but sigh as he felt the cruelty of reality.

The current situation of the small mountain was also a wake-up call for Lin Bai. Without sufficient strength and strength, no matter how great a force it used to be, it was impossible for it to escape destruction.

He had no doubt that if he hadn't shown off his overwhelming strength, the huge family fortune he had accumulated would have been taken away by those with ulterior motives, just like the small mountains. And all the people and things that he was thinking of would be like the people in Little Fang Mountain, rootless like duckweed and even lonely ghosts …

He had to make himself stronger, become fearless of all the variables in the world, be able to protect them from the rain and wind; he had to make the people he cared about become stronger too, even without him, they could still face all these things head on, and not be like the people who lost the heart and soul of Gu Taixu, who could turn over and be killed without a shred of armor!

The man and the beast slowly made their way into the heart of the small mountain. This place that was once filled with spiritual energy was now devoid of any spiritual presence other than the raging, cold air.

Not only that, but Lin Bai also saw a huge pit in the building that was once the main auction venue of the Small Mountains Auction. Within the hole, streams of water elemental energy could be seen, emitting an oppressive aura.

Although it had been a very long time since Little Fang Mountain was destroyed, but even so, standing in front of this crater, Lin Bai could still feel a chilling murderous intent. This was a testament to the terror of those who attacked!

Staring at the hole, it was as if he could see the scene at that time. A man of great divine abilities, with a rare secret technique, used a tremendous amount of water elemental energy to strike into the heart of this small mountain like raging waves and stormy waves. A powerful pressure emanated from it, transforming into a terrifying killing intent that completely obliterated this place.

This was not only one of the major reasons for the destruction of the small mountain. It was also one of the main reasons for the destruction of the small mountain.

Once their strongest strengths appeared and released a shocking attack, it was definitely going to be like pulling apart dry weeds and rotten weeds, completely disintegrating their fighting spirit.

"This aura is too terrifying. Even my Celestial Yin Heavy Water was unable to create such a terrifying scene …" The Yin Qi Water Beast drew in a cold breath, staring at the hole with its mouth agape, feeling a chill on its skin.

"Conversion of water elemental energy into killing intent is a unique and unique method. Such abundant water elemental energy, aside from the Spirit Spring Sect, I'm afraid no one else would have it …" Not only him, Lin Bai also sighed in a low voice. With a cautious expression, he slowly said, "Looks like we're going to have a fierce battle this time around. This person's tactics are probably not any weaker than mine!"

This wasn't because Lin Bai was trying to boost the morale of others, trying to extinguish his prestige, but rather, it was the true image of his heart. It had already been an extremely long time since the first strike, yet the biting cold killing intent still did not dissipate. In fact, this level of killing intent still caused Lin Bai's heart to tremble and his soul to be unsettled.

Furthermore, Lin Bai suspected that the person who had attacked was most likely the sect master of the Spirit Spring Sect that he had never seen before. With such a pure cultivation, other than someone like him, there would likely be no other person that possessed such battle power.

When he thought of this, Lin Bai's eyes turned even more piercing. He regarded the Spirit Spring Sect, which he had underestimated by a level due to Jiang Liu and the rest, as one of the most dangerous matters in his heart. To possess such a terrifying expert, they were definitely not a simple sect. Their heritage was deep and unfathomable.

"Brat Lin, I keep having the feeling that there's someone spying on us in these small mountains, making me feel very uneasy …" And at this time, the Miasma Water Beast suddenly shivered. Then, it glanced around with a perturbed expression, as if it was trying to find some unknown existence in the surrounding darkness.

"I feel it too. However, I feel like he is only spying on us. He does not have any ill intentions towards us …"

Lin Bai also nodded slightly when he heard these words. In actuality, he'd already felt this feeling of being watched from the moment he'd entered the small mountain range. Although his spiritual will was strong, he was unable to pinpoint the exact position of the spying person. It was that person's power was everywhere, yet there was no place for him to be. It was only in the tiniest of places.

But what made Lin Bai glad was that although this prying person's performance was powerful, he didn't seem to have any malice towards himself and the water spirit beast. Instead, he held the purest curiosity and wanted to see what their purpose was.

"Let him see. After all, we are both men. Even if he sees us all, there's nothing to lose. It's just that we don't have to get into this young master's hands, otherwise, hehe …" With a sneer, he calmed down the unsettled emotions of the Yin spirit water beast, before rolling his eyes and saying slowly, "Let's go, let's take a walk around and see where the spirit stone mines of the Little Fang Mountain are and how miraculous they are, thus attracting the attention of so many people."

Although the water spirit beast felt uneasy, when it thought about the flying sword in Lin Bai's hands, it felt much more at ease. He then let Lin Bai ride on its back, man and beast circling the small mountain, wanting to find the location of the spirit stone vein.

He had to admit that the Spirit Spring Sect was getting more and more powerful in the hidden world. The agreement he made with the other sects was actually called the hidden world. No one dared to enter the ruins of the Little Fang Mountain. As a result, Lin Bai and the Yin Qi water beasts did not run into anyone else on their journey, except for those who were following them around like a shadow and were spying on their surroundings.

Although they did not meet anyone along the way, they did not find any traces of the Spirit Stone mine. It was as if this was just a rumor with ulterior motives and did not exist at all.

"Now we have the last spot. If there isn't any more, we have to think about whether or not it is a scheme by the Spirit Spring Sect!" Disappointed, Lin Bai scanned the area he had explored and sighed. Then, his gaze landed on the small mountain ruins. The only area in the back of the mountain that he and the Sound Essence Water Beast had not explored was the mountain.

If spirit stone veins really did exist in the small mountain, then according to their investigations, the location of the spirit stone vein should be at the back of the mountain.

Hearing Lin Bai's words, the Yin Qi Water Beast became excited, its eyes were filled with longing. If they could find the vein and find the crispy spirit stones, wouldn't they be able to use it as soon as they opened their mouth? How comfortable would that be?

"Who is it?" A cold voice was suddenly emitted from the back of the mountain when the two of them stepped into the area behind the mountain.
