Led by Dongfang Xiao and the other man, the group moved forward in a straight line, through forests and over mountains.
A group of several hundred people gathered together, including several people in the Tongtian realm. They exuded a powerful aura, and wherever they passed, the ferocious beasts retreated.
The crowd encountered no obstacles. Occasionally, one or two fearless beasts would pounce on them, but they were easily dealt with by Dongfang Xiao.
An hour later, a valley appeared ahead.
"arrive!"
Dongfang Xiao stopped.
The valley was silent, without any sound, so quiet that it was a little abnormal.
"There seems to be something wrong here. Why is there not a single ferocious beast?"
"Could it be that there are powerful beasts lurking in this valley, so other beasts dare not come in?"
"That's very likely. Generally, powerful beasts will occupy land and become kings..."
…
Everyone started talking in low voices.
The place where the spirit stone vein is located is extremely dangerous, so the Dongfang family sold the mining rights. The major forces present had already known about it, so it is normal to have some speculation at this time.
Dongfang Xiao said loudly: "Everyone, please remain quiet and listen to me first."
After hearing this, everyone gradually quieted down and looked at Dongfang Xiao.
"The mineral veins here are located within the rock formations thousands of meters underground, stretching for hundreds of miles. They are rich in deposits, with a reserve of at least hundreds of millions of spirit stones! You can sense it for yourself and you will know that what I say is true."
There was another commotion among the crowd. The spiritual stone reserves were over 100 million, which was already considered a large mineral vein. Many people showed excitement on their faces, and released their sensors to explore the underground situation.
Lin Tian took a quick look and could see the situation ten thousand meters underground.
"There really is a spirit stone vein!"
Lin Tian saw the mineral vein, which was eight thousand meters underground. It was like a giant dragon lying prone, extending into the distance, with a total length of one hundred and eighty miles.
If you include the scattered small sections of mineral veins, the total length is more than two hundred miles!
This is more than double the one hundred miles that Dongfang Xiao mentioned. The actual spirit stone reserves are at least three hundred million!
However, Dongfang Xiao should not be concealing it intentionally, but there is a strange force field protection underground that can interfere with the exploration. Dongfang Xiao is not strong enough and cannot see the entire picture of the mineral vein.
"Huh? Why is there a large formation?"
Lin Tian's expression changed slightly. With his strength and knowledge, he could tell at a glance that there was something fishy going on underground.
It seems that this mineral vein is not ownerless, and someone has already taken it.
However, the formation has existed for who knows how many years and is about to collapse. It is precisely because of this that the aura of the spiritual stone vein here has leaked and was discovered.
What surprised Lin Tian even more was that there was a ferocious beast suppressed in the formation!
"The Sky-Devouring Demon Dog? A tenth-order peak beast?"
Lin Tian frowned slightly.
In his perception, a giant black beast was sleeping eight thousand meters underground. It looked like a pug, but it was huge in size, like a small mountain!
If this ferocious beast were in its prime, it would probably be infinitely close to the eleventh level, equivalent to a warrior at the half-step great saint realm!
However, after being suppressed by the formation for so long, his strength has been greatly reduced, but he is not someone that an ordinary Tongtian realm cultivator can provoke!
The Dongfang family probably didn't dare to act rashly because the Sky-Devouring Demon Dog was entrenched here, and they were worried that mining the spirit stones would awaken this vicious creature. However, they were reluctant to give up, so they wanted to sell the secret of the mineral vein!
Whoever buys the mine will probably suffer heavy losses. The Dongfang family really has a good plan!
A sneer appeared on Lin Tian's lips, and he looked at the others.
At this time, everyone was communicating with each other, pointing at the ground from time to time, very excited. It was obvious that they had only discovered the mineral vein and did not find the Sky-Devouring Demon Dog.
Dongfang Xiao said, "Have you all sensed the mineral vein? If there are no problems, we'll start selling the mining rights now. Since there are too many people interested, we'll adopt a bidding system..."
"Wait a minute! I have a question. I need to clarify what the danger is here."
A Tongtian Realm cultivator stepped forward and asked loudly.
Everyone was concerned about this question and suddenly fell silent, waiting for Dongfang Xiao's answer.
Dongfang Xiao's eyes flickered as he said, "So far, no danger has been detected. Ferocious beasts are extinct here, which is very beneficial for mining spirit stones."
"Who would believe you?"
"This is an ancient forest, and there are no ferocious beasts. Do you think that's normal?"
"If you don't explain clearly, we won't bid. You Dongfang family can play by yourselves!"
Several Tongtian Realm cultivators expressed their opinions.
There are no ferocious beasts and no danger. If this were the case, would the Dongfang family sell the mining rights?
Only an idiot would believe that!
Dongfang Xiao's face darkened. "When I said there's no danger, it means there's no danger. I, Dongfang Xiao, a powerful master of the Tongtian Realm, how could I possibly lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can search for it yourself!"
Dongfang Xiao spoke with certainty, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.
There were many masters present, including those at the Tongtian realm. Their perception had already swept across the entire valley, and they indeed did not find any danger!
But this was obviously unreasonable, and everyone was skeptical for a while.
Seeing that everyone was being fooled, Dongfang Xiao quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "There is absolutely no danger here. I guarantee it with my life. You must trust me and trust the reputation of the Dongfang family..."
"Do you have any dignity? What credibility does the Dongfang family have?"
Suddenly, an inopportune voice sounded, drawing everyone's attention.
Dongfang Xiao's eyes flashed with a cold light. He looked at Lin Tian and said coldly, "Lin Tian, what do you mean by that? I've been patient with you time and time again, but you don't know what's good for you. You're pushing your luck and even dare to question the reputation of the Dongfang family."
Lin Tiandao said, "Do we still need to question this? Your Dongfang family's credibility is not good to begin with. There is clearly a tenth-level peak ferocious beast, the Sky-Swallowing Demon Dog, lurking beneath this valley. Why didn't you hide it?"
