Mineral vein underground, seven thousand meters deep.
This is a place where ordinary people may not be able to survive. In the densely crisscrossed passages like spider webs, there are many people going back and forth. Some people who were practicing in the simple stone chambers opened on the edge of the passages are also coming. Walked out.
"What's going on? Wasn't it just announced that everyone should return to more than five thousand meters? Why is there no movement now? Are you leaving or not?"
"I don't know... The Qin family didn't say why at all. The amount of Yuanshi that should be handed over this month should be enough... What happened to drive us away?"
"Where are the people of the Qin family who were notified just now? Why are they missing? So should we return to the ground? Or continue to practice?"
"I'm about to break through to the middle stage of Soul Master! Finally, the bottleneck has been loosened a bit. I don't want to waste time!"
"But the people of the Qin family were very resolute before. I'm afraid they will suffer if they don't leave! Forget it, brothers, this is their territory. Let's keep a low profile. Maybe the people of the Qin family have discovered another one somewhere. Special Yuan Stone Veins, in order to prevent us from 'stealing' the original and purest Yuan Power, let us leave first. The Qin family will only allow us to drink 'soup' after taking the first bite of 'meat'... Anyway, this is not the first time..."
"Sigh... Okay, let's go up first. We can get some air on the ground and get rid of the gloomy power accumulated in the body. Otherwise, it will also affect our subsequent cultivation..."
…
The above is a conversation between two soul masters in a certain passage in a certain area. The strength of these two people is in the middle and early stages of soul master respectively. They both go to the depths of the earth to help the Qin family mine Yuanshi mines in exchange for It is a casual practice that gives you the opportunity to practice in this place with strong energy.
The two of them were talking while walking towards the side of the passage, intending to return to the ground more than five thousand meters in accordance with the order given by the Qin family just now.
"Huh? Did you hear anything?"
As they were walking, the mid-stage Soul Lord among them suddenly flashed his eyes, looked back in surprise, and asked the person next to him at the same time.
"What?" The early-stage soul master was stunned for a moment, and looked back. At the same time, his soul consciousness also swept out, and then asked doubtfully, "It seems to be nothing. Did you find anything?"
The mid-term soul master also sent out his soul consciousness to look around, then touched his chin strangely and murmured: "I clearly felt something approaching just now. Is it my misunderstanding? It's strange..."
"Haha, don't scare me. I heard that there may be unknown ferocious beasts roaming deep underground. Not long ago, someone from the third group disappeared inexplicably. Everyone speculated that it was the ferocious beast. If If we meet, it will be bad luck for eight lifetimes..." The early soul master smiled nonchalantly and said jokingly.
The mid-term soul master couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said: "Maybe it's just my misunderstanding. After staying deep underground for a long time, I always feel a little suspicious. Let's go..."
"Whoosh!!"
However, before he finished speaking, his whole person suddenly froze, because he saw a black light sweeping out from the passage on the left, curling around the body of the companion next to him, and then that person He was dragged in instantly and disappeared without a trace!
"Ah! What is it!!"
After being stunned for a second, the mid-stage soul master's face changed dramatically, and he retreated in horror. At the same time, the blue light all over his body surged, and a curtain of water formed in front of him. He looked at the passage where his companion disappeared just now with horror in his eyes.
"A ferocious... ferocious beast?! It can't be possible..." The mid-term soul master was thinking in fear, while staring at the passage, he moved forward little by little.
"Whoosh!!"
However, he had only moved about ten meters when a weak voice came from his right side. His expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned his head, only to see a black shadow rolling towards him!
"ah!!"
A short scream sounded in this passage, and then died...
…
It is also seven thousand meters deep underground, in another area.
The three soul masters walked together and moved forward quickly in a passage. One of the three soul masters was a middle-stage soul master, and there were two early-stage soul masters.
"Be careful! Something is approaching!"
Suddenly, the expression of the mid-stage soul master among them changed slightly. He shouted softly and took out a red long sword with a flash of his right hand. He nervously faced a passage on the right.
"What? Is something approaching? Where?!"
The other two people were suddenly startled. They summoned their soul power and made defensive postures. One of the men in white looked around with a surprised look, but found nothing unusual. When he accidentally looked up, But I saw...a sharp orange giant claw!
"ah!!"
With a scream, the man was grabbed by the head and pulled up. Then there was a 'click' sound, which seemed to be the sound of bones breaking. Then the man was thrown directly to the cave wall on the right, and after a 'bang' sound It bounced to the ground and stopped moving...
"It's a soul beast! Be careful!!" The mid-level fire element soul master shrank his pupils and said in horror, "No! It's a late-level sixth-level soul beast! Run...ah!!"
"Is this the rumored ferocious underground beast?! Why...ah!!"
There were screams of terror, and then they all ended in screams. Within a few breaths, the passage returned to calm...
…
Situations like this appear almost one after another in dozens of areas deep in the underground veins!
Those who can go below five thousand meters underground are all Soul Sect masters and above. Those who can go below seven thousand meters are basically Soul Sect masters. Some of these people are exploring new areas, some are practicing, and many People are unprepared and are attacked by 'ferocious beasts' that suddenly appear. For a time, sudden powerful fluctuations erupt from various places, but they quickly fade away. When someone nearby is alarmed and rushes away. When I arrived, I only saw some remaining traces of battle or blood, and all the people who were there were missing!
Gradually, an inexplicable panic began to spread deep underground. Many Soul Masters or Soul Sect masters fled in panic, and more people were attacked from time to time...
…
A depth of eight thousand meters is within an area classified as Zone 11.
"Roar!!"
A sharp and piercing roar of a beast suddenly sounded in a passage, causing the walls of the cave to tremble. A golden light suddenly rushed out from the corner of the passage and flew forward desperately.
In the light, there was a middle-aged man with the strength of the middle-level soul master. If he were placed in a small place, he would be considered a master. However, at this time, he ran away in a hurry like a bereaved dog, with fear in his eyes.
"Boom...Boom!!"
Behind him, there was a rumbling sound, and suddenly, a huge black figure chased out from the corner he had just rushed out of. It turned out to be a giant soul beast with six thick legs, like a crocodile!
This soul beast is huge in size, almost occupying the entire passage several meters high and wide, but its speed is incredibly fast, and the ferocious aura exuding from it is actually as high as the late sixth level! Its speed is faster than the soul master in front of it, and it is about to catch up with him!
"Ah!" The soul master turned around in panic while escaping, only to see a bloody mouth biting him. He was immediately frightened and screamed in terror.
"puff!!"
However, just before the man was about to make his final resistance, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye above the ferocious beast that was rushing toward him. There seemed to be a blue-black line on the top of the cave where there was only a little gap left. The light flickers out...
After a dull and strange sound, the almost frightened soul master was shocked to see that the powerful soul beast that rushed towards him shook incredibly, and then seemed to be crushed by a huge boulder. Suddenly it fell straight down and hit the ground!
After a moment of shock, the man showed a look of ecstasy. He didn't even care to look at it, turned around and continued running away! The moment before he escaped, he seemed to see a vague shadow on the fallen beast, which seemed to be a person, but how could he care so much? It's important to escape!
"...Tsk! After all, I saved your life, but you didn't even say thank you. It's really rude!"
After the man escaped, his head was smashed into the ground on the body of the ferocious beast that had stopped moving. A vague figure stood up. After looking at the direction in which the man escaped, he let out a dissatisfied murmur.
The figure jumped down from the beast, and then with a wave of his hand, the corpse of the lifeless beast was collected into the space ring. At the same time, he continued to mutter to himself: "It's still a six-dimensional beast after all." For late-level soul beasts, if the soul crystals are brought back to Xiaofeng to eat, they can also help him advance to level seven faster... "
Then the man clapped his hands, as if sensing his surroundings, and then walked in a certain direction, muttering as he walked: "It seems that just as Grandpa Zu estimated, the Qin family has started to attack 'outsiders', but I'm being prudent. I actually sent soul beasts to arrest people first. Do you want to disguise it as a tragedy caused by the so-called 'ferocious beasts in the underground'? Huh, what a clumsy trick... In this case, I will take these soul crystals without mercy. Down!"
Saying these words, his figure turned into a blur and disappeared into the passage...
