Chapter 1256 - 1099: Strange Mine Cave (Part 2)

He knew that those Exotic Realm Creatures must find places with a lot of people, or places where the Life Strange Tree grows, only in such places, the experts of the Divine Realm cannot sense them.Initially, Duan Gujin just felt that the city was a bit peculiar, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't determine what exactly was strange about it.

After entering the city, he walked meticulously through every part of it and finally discovered some clues.

"That's right, there are too many ordinary people here, the number of ordinary people in this city is unusually high! If a place is filled with more Human Clan spiritual aura, it can mask the aura of those lurking Exotic Realm Creatures!"

Duan Gujin analyzed the city he was currently in and felt that it should just be a small city.

After some inquiries, he learned that recently someone had found a mineral vein in the city, and a wealthy boss had hired many workers to go inside and mine.

Since the wages were decent, ordinary people from nearby villages came here to mine for the boss.

"There's a mineral vein here?"

Duan Gujin's curiosity was immediately piqued, and he went to the mineral vein, extending his Divine Sense to check the situation in the mine.

However, he soon noticed that there was a shielding spell array set in the mine that prevented him from using Divine Sense to investigate the situation inside the vein.

"If Exotic Realm Creatures have snuck into the front mine, we can hardly discover their whereabouts!"

Duan Gujin realized that the mine was likely excavated on purpose by the Exotic Realm Creatures to conceal their auras.

"That's right, if those Exotic Realm Creatures are hiding underground, they can use this method to mask their aura as well!"

Duan Gujin understood instantly, and he was determined to break through the shielding spell array in the front mine at any cost.

He carefully observed his surroundings and found no Martial Artists of formidable strength nearby.

Although there were many Divine World Martial Artists in front of the mine, their cultivation levels were not high.

Duan Gujin realized that the highest level of those Martial Artists was only Fifth Level of Martial Saint, and he was determined to enter the mine and find the lurking Exotic Realm Creatures no matter what.

He took a deep breath, his mind working quickly.

After a while, he came up with the simplest and easiest method.

He immediately found a corner where no one was watching, covered his face with a cloth, and approached the mine.

As he approached the mine, the guards responsible for guarding the mine stopped him.

However, at that moment, he flashed and vanished in front of those mine guards.

The expressions of the mine guards changed drastically, and they immediately sensed that Duan Gujin was heading towards the front mine.

They turned around and followed Duan Gujin into the front mine.

Once inside, Duan Gujin found no miners, which startled him.

"Where are the miners?"

He had heard that there was always a bounty for miners, but upon entering, he saw no miners in the narrow mountain path, which confused him greatly.

He quickly advanced along the damp mountain path, and after a while, he saw that the front of the path was not man-made, but very similar to something carved out by some giant creature.

"Oh no! It turns out there was a Stone-swallowing Giant Beast here!"

He carefully examined the stone walls on both sides of the path and soon concluded that the path he was on was not man-made, but dug out by a Stone-swallowing Giant Beast.

"I didn't expect, it turns out a Stone-swallowing Giant Beast also came here!"

Duan Gujin's expression changed drastically, as he had personally witnessed the terror of Stone-swallowing Giant Beasts before, knowing their terrifying innate ability—there's nothing they can't devour except a few special metallic substances.

The most terrifying aspect of Stone-swallowing Giant Beasts is that they can be used as a secret weapon to destroy Divine Realm or Immortal Domain Arrays, which need something to support them.

Exotic Realm Creatures may not be able to reach what supports the Divine Realm or Immortal Domain Arrays, but Stone-swallowing Giant Beasts can quietly approach and destroy the boulders supporting the Array from underground.

Generally, when a Stone-swallowing Giant Beast approaches an Array support point, the result is usually mutual destruction with the Array.

Both the Divine Realm and the Immortal Domain are wary of the Stone-swallowing Giant Beasts' terrifying ability.

Looking at the passageway formed by the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast, Duan Gujin gasped, feeling a sense of dread.

"If many Stone-swallowing Giant Beasts followed those Exotic Realm Creatures here, that would be a huge trouble!"

Duan Gujin understood that currently, all major sects in the Divine Realm had set up numerous sensing arrays around the sect.

With those sensing arrays, major Divine Realm sects can sense whether any Exotic Realm Creatures have appeared nearby.

"Could it be that some Exotic Realm Creature wants to use the Stone-swallowing Giant Beasts to destroy the Eternal Divine Court's beacon? Or do those Exotic Realm Creatures want to use the Stone-swallowing Giant Beasts' innate ability to directly destroy the Eternal Divine Court's Mountain Protection Heavenly Array?"

Duan Gujin thought for a moment and felt that the second possibility was very high.

The Mountain Protection Heavenly Array of the Eternal Divine Court is extremely expensive to build and has very strong defenses.

Duan Gujin's mind shifted, and he decided to continue moving deeper into the cave.

But after moving forward for a while, he sensed a slight tremor coming from underground.

The slight tremor grew stronger bit by bit over time.

Duan Gujin furrowed his brow slightly, immediately understanding that a Stone-swallowing Giant Beast was undoubtedly preparing to pass through the area where he was standing.

With a flash, he quickly used the Golden Body Treasure Sword to carve a large hole in the stone ceiling, then stored all the rocks he had carved out into his storage ring.

With another flash, he jumped into the large hole above.

No sooner had he entered the upper hole than he saw a pitch-black figure appear ahead.

He even heard two shrill screams, confirming that they came from one of the mine guards who had chased him into the tunnel.

After a while, he saw a pitch-black figure slide quickly along the path below, with an unpleasant smell emanating from it.

He pinched his nose and endured it.

Soon, the figure with the unbearable smell finally disappeared from his sight.

Judging by the head and body shape of the figure he just saw, he was sure it was indeed a Stone-swallowing Giant Beast.

"It seems, there must be very advanced Exotic Realm Beings here!"

Duan Gujin knew that in the world of Exotic Realm Creatures, only advanced beings could control the Stone-swallowing Giant Beasts.

Stone-swallowing Giant Beasts are intensely violent Exotic Realm Creatures, so to control them, the controlling Exotic Realm Creature must have strong cultivation, at least enough to suppress the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast.

In the world of Exotic Realm Creatures, Stone-swallowing Giant Beasts are a unique existence; they can use everything they devour as an energy source.

As a result, they can easily enhance their cultivation by devouring.

However, despite their increased cultivation, Stone-swallowing Giant Beasts do not have strong attack abilities, and they are not particularly bright by nature.

In the Exotic Realm, a Stone-swallowing Giant Beast usually follows an advanced Exotic Realm Creature that can control it, and whose cultivation is stronger than its own.

"I wonder where the advanced Exotic Realm Creature controlling it is lurking?"

Duan Gujin immediately jumped down from the top of the path and proceeded along the path that the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast had followed.

He wanted to know where the Stone-swallowing Giant Beast was headed and to confirm whether the advanced Exotic Realm Being was lurking in the very path before him.
