Sun Lingtong sensed the breath of adventure and immediately shouted, "Xiaozhuo, you hold the line, I will go investigate myself!"
The two of them first rode on Xingyun and moved away from Wuyin Mountain. After landing in a corner, Ning Zhuo drew out Wanli Youlong from his waist.
A strange light burst out from Wanli Youlong's eyes, covering Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong.
In this strange light, Sun Ning and the other person's bodies shrank rapidly. They followed the light column and after a few breaths, they entered the Wanli Youlong.
A moment later, the two of them drove the Wanli Youlong and arrived at Wuyin Mountain again.
Sun Lingtong curled her lips. The Wanli Youlong at the Yuanying level could be big or small, and its ability to restrain its aura was also very good, allowing the two of them to be in it and explore safely.
"But this is not fun at all." Sun Lingtong sighed and glanced at Ning Zhuo who was carefully controlling the mechanism beside him. "Xiao Zhuo is good in everything except that he is too cautious."
Gradually flying into the valley of Shanxi, the sunlight was gradually swallowed up by the towering mountain walls, and the surroundings gradually became gloomy and cold.
The rocks are covered with moss, the air is filled with moisture, and the soil is dark. The cliffs are high, and the ancient trees are intertwined. When the mountain breeze blows, the branches and leaves make a slight rustling sound, as if they are whispering.
As Wanli Youlong went deeper into the area, the light and shadows became dimmer, and the heavy and thick smell of earth seemed to block the mouth and nose, giving people a feeling of suffocation.
The mottled shadows of the trees became increasingly eerie, and the mist shrouded the forest, creating an eerie, demonic atmosphere.
"Look there!" Sun Lingtong pointed at a place.
In the image created by the spell, there is a white area.
Wanli Youlong sneaked quietly and came closer, and found that it was a bone burial pile, covering a large area. A large number of wild animal corpses and human bones were piled up randomly.
Ning Zhuo took a quick look and found hundreds of human corpses. His expression became solemn.
This is just what is revealed on the surface of the bone pile. There must be more human corpses inside!
"This is a sign of some kind of magic power being performed. There is at least one magic practitioner here!" Ning Zhuo said after examining the skeletons.
Sun Lingtong analyzed: "There are many foundation-building level monsters among the corpses. The demon cultivators here are very powerful, at least at the golden elixir level."
Ning Zhuo frowned slightly: "If the demon cultivator is hiding here, according to common sense, if the Fox God cannot handle it himself, he should report it. Why didn't He do that? Instead, he gave us the clues?"
He controlled the Wanli Youlong, which was like a small flying insect, very inconspicuous. It flew close to the ground, among the weeds, and continued to go deeper.
As he was almost at the bottom of the valley, he saw two guards.
One is a coiled python, and the other is a lying gray wolf.
The auras of both of them were leaking out, both of them were at the foundation-building level. The gray wolf's eyes were smart and shining, and the python kept spitting out its tongue, also stimulating some kind of magic to detect the surroundings.
A mere monster beast cannot do this, these two are both monster cultivators!
Although he has not transformed, he has mastered magic and his threat level has increased several times compared to that of monsters.
Ning Zhuo controlled the Wanli Youlong, hid his body, and walked in openly in front of the two demon cultivators.
Entering the bottom of the valley, a large number of demon cultivators were practicing, fighting, and eating here. There were wolves, snakes, tigers, leopards, bears, wild boars, etc., with ferocious looks and various shapes.
The air was filled with a fishy smell.
On a high platform, there lay a huge black tiger as big as an elephant.
The black tiger was sturdy and strong, and was exhaling with a strong breath. Every breath could stir up a whirlwind.
As the saying goes, clouds follow the dragon and wind follows the tiger. The strength of the tiger can be glimpsed from the whirlwind that accompanies it.
"A Jindan-level black tiger demon cultivator, why does he look familiar?" Sun Lingtong frowned.
Ning Zhuo said, "Yehu is the true mountain god."
Sun Lingtong suddenly realized: "Yes, they look exactly alike!"
But obviously, they are not the same tiger.
The tiger god's physical body died hundreds of years ago, and in order to stay in the world of the living, it transformed itself into a god.
In comparison, the adult black tiger in front of him had a lively body and a youthful breath of life, just like the sun at 9:00 p.m., with a feeling between youth and middle age.
The black tiger slowly opened his eyes and suddenly growled in a low voice: "Where is my blood food?"
"Here he comes, here he comes, my king!" A cultivator came running out of the cave.
His face was pitch black, his clothes were tattered, and he was holding a body bag. He turned the bag upside down and dumped out a large number of corpses.
The black tiger opened its bloody mouth, and after a burst of suction, it swallowed many corpses into its mouth and kept chewing them.
The strong jaw trembled slightly, and the sharp teeth bit the tender meat tightly, tearing the meat in its mouth and chewing it into pieces. Every time it chewed, the friction between the muscles and bones made a low sound, and the sound of bones breaking was endless.
Blood leaked out from between the black tiger's teeth and then flowed down its chin.
A strong smell of blood quickly spread.
The ferocious beasts and demon cultivators who smelled the blood subconsciously gathered around the platform, watching the black tiger eat with eager eyes, all revealing looks of desire.
The black tiger had eaten 30% of the corpse and his belly was noticeably swollen, so he activated his internal energy to digest it.
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong both recognized it.
The Flesh-Taming and Blood-Swallowing Technique is a widely spread magical skill, which is to nourish one's own body by devouring the blood and flesh of other lives, making the muscles swell and the blood essence abundant.
With the help of the magic power, the black tiger's belly shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon flattened again.
It continued to swallow, and after eating another 30%, it did the same thing, activating the technique and practicing.
After finishing his training, Hei Hu burped and said lazily, "Let's divide it all."
After getting permission, the demon cultivators howled like wolves and pounced on the pile of corpses, feasting on them.
For a moment, the monsters pushed and shoved each other, scrambling for blood food, and the bloody smell spread more and more in the chaos.
Black Tiger narrowed his eyes, listening to the noise and admiring the fight between his subordinates.
While fighting for food, several weak demon cultivators accidentally revealed their flaws and were seriously injured by a sneak attack.
Soon, the surrounding demon cultivators listed them as new prey. Driven by hunger and greed, they launched a ruthless siege and killed them, using their companions as delicacies to fill their stomachs.

The only cultivator in the field, with a look of fear on his face, cowered and stood beside the black tiger, trying to survive. But he did not dare to get too close to it, fearing that the black tiger would get angry and slap him to death with one claw.
Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo witnessed all this and both had grim expressions.
"A Jindan-level Night Tiger Demon Cultivator, and many demon cultivators, mostly at the Foundation Establishment level." Ning Zhuo estimated the strength of this group of demon cultivators.
"You can kill them all!" Sun Lingtong gritted his teeth, hatred flashing in his eyes, "Any beast that eats people deserves to die."
Ning Zhuo knew the reason.
The village where Sun Lingtong once lived was plundered and slaughtered by demon cultivators. He was very lucky at that time and was picked up by his master, thus escaping the disaster.
Sun Lingtong said: "Although the Black Tiger Demon is at the Jindan level, I got several bottles of strange poisons from Yang Chanyu. One of them is colorless and tasteless, and can be put into the corpse. When it devours the corpse and practices the skills, hehe, there will be something interesting."
"We have a plan, but it's not impossible to win!"
Ning Zhuo frowned slightly: "Boss, don't rush to act, let me think about it."
He put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the Dragon Head cabin for a few times before making a decision: "For now, let's keep this demon alive. We need to investigate more."
"Hmm?" Sun Lingtong raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"
Ning Zhuo half comforted and half explained: "Boss, think about it, how could a black tiger demon of the Golden Core level hide for so long?"
"It eats so much in one meal, and its cultivation of magic power consumes a lot of energy. If it were to plunder Wuyin Mountain, it would definitely have a huge impact."
Sun Lingtong immediately realized what Ning Zhuo meant, and continued, "However, there is no demonic presence in Wuyin Mountain, and it is a harmonious place. When we entered Wuyin Village, we did not hear any reports of villagers being robbed and killed. This shows that this group of demons deliberately held back and did not eat the grass around their nest, but went out to collect money."
Ning Zhuo nodded: "So, they must have made other noises. We just don't know about it yet. Maybe they have already been put on the wanted list."
"If we attack rashly, there are many risks. Why don't we check the wanted list first and gather some intelligence before taking action? Wouldn't that be more reliable?"
Sun Lingtong nodded: "That makes sense."
Although he was anxious, he also knew the importance of things and would not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.
After the two men finished their discussion, they controlled the Wanli Youlong and left Wuyin Mountain.
Ning Zhuo activated the mechanism's ability to travel through the void and soon arrived at Yugang Mountain.
Yugang Mountain stands tall and majestic. The soil is rich in jade-smooth black steel, which makes it look like jade. From a distance, the whole mountain is lush and green, like a giant wearing a jade robe.
The gurgling streams in the mountains sound like the sound of a zither being plucked gently, while the rocks in the mountains are hard, sparkling and glittering, all with the color of jade.
The mountain has been excavated many times, revealing multiple open-pit mineral deposits.
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong were in the Wanli Youlong. Looking down, they saw many miners, like ants, digging hard in the ore beds, working tirelessly.
The ore deposits and mountains are densely covered with mine caves of various sizes. The deep mine tunnels are intricate and extend deep into the mountain like a huge net.
There is a small town halfway up the mountain.
The town is surrounded by a circle of towering walls, with mechanical buildings and guard towers, and a large number of monks guarding key locations at all times.
There are many large open-air furnaces in the town, which are used to refine ore, causing thick smoke to billow all year round.
Sun Ning and his companion left Wanli Youlong, dressed up a little, and disguised themselves as two middle-aged cultivators, one tall and one short, and entered the mountain town together.
The guard at the gate immediately stopped the two of them and said, "The price list is posted there. You have to read it and pay before you can enter the town."
Obviously, the guards thought Sun Ning and the other two were casual cultivators who wanted to come to Yugang Mountain to mine.
Sun Ning and his companion came to the foot of the city wall and saw the price list posted on the wall.
The price list was quite detailed, and the content was: 50 low-grade spirit stones for mining in the ore deposit on the first underground floor, for one day...
