Xie Sen was very afraid of soft-bodied creatures, especially the giant python not far away, which had a body diameter of more than one meter and a body length of more than ten meters, and was very intimidating.
He subconsciously held his breath.
"Chirp!" Tuantuan, who was standing on his shoulder, had a completely opposite reaction. His round eyes suddenly burst into a bright light. He shouted excitedly and rushed towards the giant python, flapping his wings.
Xie Sen quickly shouted: "Tuan Tuan, come back!"
Tuan Tuan hesitated and stopped in mid-air. He turned halfway around and looked at Xie Sen. He raised his right wing and pointed at the giant python, saying cheerfully, "Chirp, chirp!"
Xie Sen had seen this kind of reaction many times, but before that, the things it pointed its wings at were all melon rinds!
He looked at Tuantuan with an incredible look. It was too bold! Its whole body was only the size of a palm. Did it want to eat a giant python?
"Too dangerous." He shook his head disapprovingly.
The giant python continued to move towards the foot of the mountain. Its body pressed down various low plants along the way. Its tail swung wildly, and thinner trees were easily broken by it. It was like a strong wind passing through the land along the way.
Fortunately, the foot of the mountain is circular, and the direction in which the giant python moved was on the left side of Xie Sen and his group. The lowest point in that direction was about seven or eight meters away from Xie Sen's position. Even if the giant python reached the foot of the mountain, it would not be able to discover them for a while.
Xie Sen whispered, "Shall we leave first?"
Maine nodded, took him in his arms and walked to the right along the mountainside. After walking two steps, Xie Sen found that Tuan Tuan had not caught up. He looked back and saw Tuan Tuan still looking at the giant python with a greedy look.
Xie Sen called out softly, "Tuan Tuan, hurry up!"
Tuan Tuan glanced at the giant python reluctantly, then flew onto Xie Sen's shoulder.
Xie Sen and Maine walked for a long time until they reached the other side of the stone mountain. After making sure that the giant python beast would not see them, Xie Sen nodded Tuantuan's head and whispered, "That is a contracted beast, you can't eat it! Besides, you are still a young bird, and its skin looks very hard, you can't eat it."
"Chi~" Tuantuan looked disappointed.
Maine said: "Something is wrong with the giant python. The giant python is huge, but it has a gentle personality. It looked very manic just now."
Xie Sen touched his hot right shoulder and said, "It should be affected by the energy." He stopped and looked at the stone mountain wall. "We just walked a long distance around the foot of the mountain, but the position of the energy has not changed."
Maine understood immediately: "In the center of the mountain?"
Xie Sen nodded: "This is the only explanation. The foot of the mountain is circular. We walked along the edge, and only the position of the midpoint remained unchanged. I just don't know whether we are inside the mountain or underground."
Maine: "According to what you said before, the energy will not be on the surface and can only be brought inside by living things. So no matter where it is, there must be an entrance."
Xie Sen nodded: "Let's walk around the mountain and see if there is a cave entrance anywhere."
The two continued walking forward for a long time, walked half a circle along the foot of the mountain, and arrived at a position opposite to the original foot of the mountain. Along the way, the two looked around, paying special attention to the mountain wall, but did not see any entrance.
At this time, the place where they were was connected to another mountain. The mountain was very high, with many tall trees and dense vegetation.
"If we walk around this stone mountain and still can't find the entrance, we have to start from the mountain next to it," Xie Sen thought, looking down at the ground, "maybe there is a connecting road underground."
Maine: "Well, it's still early today. I didn't find it before I went back tonight. I'll ask someone to come and open the mountain tomorrow."
As the two were talking, Tuantuan suddenly shouted excitedly, "Chiu!"
Xie Sen looked up and saw the giant python beast not far ahead. He couldn't help but lament that they actually met face to face! Looking at the direction the giant python beast was moving, it was obvious that they and the giant python beast had drawn a complete circle at the foot of the mountain.
Maine paused, took Xie Sen's arm and stepped back a few steps, then stepped forward to block Xie Sen, took out a dagger from his backpack, and looked at the giant python warily.
This is a mountainous area. If the giant python attacks them, they will have no way to escape, so they might as well resist.
The giant python sensed their presence and suddenly stopped moving. It raised its head and looked at Maine.
The next moment, it twisted its body and moved closer to Maine.
"Chirp!" Seeing the giant python approaching, Tuantuan happily flew to the giant python, landed on it, lowered its head and pecked it.
"Chi~" The python's hide was as hard as iron, and when it pecked at it, its beak was hurt by the reaction force. It screamed in pain, and instantly raised its round head. It covered its beak with its right wing and used its claws to grab the python.
The other party did not feel any pain at all, and continued to move forward without stopping. He quickly approached Maine and stopped two meters away from Maine.
As it got closer, the pressure from its size became stronger.
Maine held the dagger tightly in his hand and did not act rashly. Contracted beasts generally would not actively attack humans, but if humans took action, they would definitely fight back without hesitation.
Tuan Tuan angrily flapped his wings and landed directly on the python's head, stepping on its claws and shouting, "Chirp, chirp!"
"Hiss~~~" The giant python shook its head, as if responding to something.
Tuan Tuan tilted his head and called back and forth with it. As he was talking, there was a sudden loud noise from underground. The sound was deep and carried great pressure, making people breathless instantly. At the same time, the ground began to shake.
Maine hugged Xie Sen, covered his ears, and looked at the ground warily.
The giant python raised its head higher in an instant, and the next moment it fell to the right, swimming at a high speed towards the mountain on the right. Its body was more than ten meters long, and when its tail turned around, it just swept Maine and Xie Sen.
Maine held Xie Sen and retreated. Both of them were barely brushed by the tip of the tail, but neither of them was injured.
The giant python suddenly stopped swimming rapidly, turned its head, and moved its body backwards. Its tail quickly swept across their calves again, and then cleverly wrapped around Xie Sen's ankles.
Maine's face turned cold, and he quickly chopped at its tail with the dagger in hand. Xie Sen hurriedly said, "Don't do it." Maine stopped and stared at his feet. Xie Sen said, "It didn't use any force. The feeling it gave me was kind."
The giant python turned its head and quickly jumped to a distance of one meter between them, its height just equal to Xie Sen's: "Hiss~~~"
Xie Sen suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. Although he knew it had no ill intentions, he still couldn't help but feel scared.
"Chirp!" Tuan Tuan grabbed Xie Sen's sleeve with his claws and pulled it in the direction of the giant python, pointing his wings at the giant python.
Xie Sen asked: "Are you asking us to go with it?"
Tuantuan nodded his little head.
Xie Sen looked at Maine: "It is affected by the energy, and perhaps knows where the energy is. I want to follow it."
Maine said: "Let's go together."
The giant python rubbed Maine's ankle, then let go and led the way, looking back from time to time to make sure Xie Sen was following.
After climbing to a height of five meters above the ground, it turned left, and after going around half the mountain, it stopped beside a tree that was so big that two people could hug it. It curled up its body into a ball so as to take up less space.
Xie Sen was stunned when he saw the hole hidden behind the tree.
The giant python let out a soft cry and scurried into the cave.
Maine took out the lighting equipment, took Xie Sen in his arms and followed it in. After entering, there was a wide road, like a modern culvert, the entire underground was connected in all directions, with many branching roads.
The deeper we went, the brighter the light became. There were all kinds of fluorescent minerals piled in the corners, and many of them were inlaid on the walls. They were very shiny and beautiful. After walking for about half an hour, when the heat of the peony on Xie Sen's shoulder almost reached its peak, the giant python stopped.
In front of us is a huge circular area, which is very high and large. It is shining with gold and is filled with golden ores, which are almost dazzling.
And on top of the ore, there lies a huge black dragon. It is huge in size, with a diameter of nearly one and a half meters. Its body is covered with golden phosphorus armor, reflecting light under the illumination of the surrounding golden ore.
Xie Sen was stunned, he almost suspected that he was seeing things.
"Flying Dragon Beast." Maine's voice was filled with undisguised surprise.
The black dragon blinked its huge eyes, opened its mouth and uttered a dragon roar. A curious and unexpected voice rang in Xie Sen's mind: "Human?"
"It's right here!" Adam's excited voice also sounded in Xie Sen's mind.
Xie Sen looked at the golden ore under the black dragon's right front claw and gently stroked his burning right shoulder. He felt that the earth energy was in that extremely bright ore.
He comforted the emotional Adan: "Yeah, I feel it."
He looked at the black dragon and asked, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
The black dragon swung its tail, and the ore scattered everywhere. "So what if I can understand you? You can't understand me."
Xie Sen breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they could communicate: "I can."
"Huh?" The black dragon raised its huge head and looked at him in surprise: "You are so strange, why can you understand what I say?"
Xie Sen pointed at the golden ore under its claws: "There is energy in it that belongs to me. You hold it so that we can communicate."
The black dragon clawed at the ore and dug it inwards: "I will not give you the glittering one."
Xie Sen looked at the golden surroundings, and then at the black dragon protecting a treasure. He suddenly remembered a rumor that dragons liked shiny things. It seemed that the rumor was true.
Maine saw him looking around and explained, "These are all gold crystal ores."
Xie Sen was stunned: "Is this the gold crystal ore that Huo Feng Company wants to purchase?"
Maine nodded: "The missing ore may be here."
The black dragon suddenly let out a huge roar, exactly the same as what Xie Sen had heard at the foot of the mountain before, but this time the distance was closer and the impact was stronger: "These are all my treasures, you are not allowed to take them away!"
Maine covered Xie Sen's ears in time and hugged him tightly. Xie Sen grabbed Maine's arm and looked up at him worriedly: "How are you?"
Maine shook his head, Xie Sen was relieved and looked at the black dragon: "You and the giant python beast are here, we can't take it away. You are too close to the energy and will be affected. How do you feel now?"
The black dragon laid his head flat on the ore and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you. I just lost control of my emotions. I've been mentally unstable recently. I can only calm down by looking at these golden glitters. So I can't give them to you."
Xie Sen couldn't help but think, the way Flying Rhino controls his emotions is by pouring water on him, and Flying Dragon Beast actually controls his emotions by looking at shiny things, is this based on their hobbies?
"I don't want these ores, I just need to take back the energy. Energy is not physical. Even if I take it back, the ores will still be here." Xie Sen said and added, "The longer you stay close to the energy, the stronger the impact will be. In the future, even if you see bright things, you will not be able to control them."
The black dragon knew very well that what he said was right. It could feel that as it stayed closer to the energy for longer, its mental state was getting worse and worse. It blinked its big eyes and said, "You didn't lie to me? If you take back the energy, these things won't disappear?"
"No." Xie Sen affirmed.
The black dragon hesitated for a moment, raised his head, and said fiercely: "If you lie to me, I will kill you."
Xie Sen was helpless. This black dragon knew how to threaten people: "I won't lie to you."
The black dragon lowered its head and pushed the golden ore out with its claws. It rested its chin on it for a long time and said, "Come here."
Xie Sen smiled at Maine: "Don't worry, I'll go and recycle the energy."
Maine said, "I'll go with you." He followed closely behind Xie Sen to ensure that he could take timely action in case of any emergency.
Xie Sen walked closer, and the black dragon's head was within reach. Xie Sen saw himself in its eyes, as if it were a mirror.
He reached out and placed his hand on the gold ore. The black dragon tilted its head, and its dragon whiskers rubbed his arm. It said in surprise: "Hey, it feels so good! You make me feel more comfortable than looking at the gold glittering."
Xie Sen did not reply. The moment he touched the golden ore, surging energy rushed along his arm into his shoulder. The energy was so strong that he could not speak for a while.
Soon, Adan shouted energetically: "Asen, you are awesome, the earth energy recovery is successful!"
Xie Sen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to withdraw his hand when the black dragon rubbed his arm with its head and its beard wrapped around his wrist: "You are amazing. I want to be close to you. It's very comfortable."
Xie Sen reached out and touched its chin: "This is because I have the aura of nature on me. Look, the ore is still there."
Black Dragon rubbed his hand with his chin, squinting his eyes comfortably: "Yeah."
"Bang!" The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground suddenly came from behind the black dragon.
Xie Sen took a step to the side, tilted his head to look over, and was shocked. Dinosaur?
I saw that there was a wide passage opposite to the way they came from. A creature that was more than three meters long, with a small head, a long tail and a strong middle, and looked like a dinosaur, walked in from there at some point. It was tilting its body and dropping pieces of gold crystal ore from its back.
That's how the noise came from.
Black Dragon's voice was filled with joy, and he turned his head: "Ajia is awesome! So many shiny things!"
After the ore was thrown down, Xie Sen discovered that it was covered with golden scales and was not a dinosaur.
Maine explained, "It's a giant armored beast, very good at digging holes underground."
Digging a hole? Xie Sen immediately thought of the pangolin. He looked at the giant armored beast. Wasn't this just an enlarged version of the giant armored beast?
The giant armored beast cried out, turned around and prepared to leave through the passage, and the black dragon said again: "Ajia, there is no need to look for the shining one anymore."
The giant armored beast turned around, lay down beside the black dragon, and looked at Xie Sen and Maine curiously.
The black dragon continued to rub its head against Xie Sen's hand. Xie Sen asked, "Can your mental state slowly recover by looking at these ores?"
Black Dragon: "No, I can only control it with difficulty. I can't let my emotions fluctuate. I can't fight either. Recently, the fights have all been initiated by Amang. Humph, those beasts all want to grab the shiny."
It said as it wrapped its dragon whiskers around Xie Sen's wrist: "It might be useful to stay with you. Our ancestors said that after the beast master forms a bond with us, we will have empathy and can soothe our spirits. It's strange that I don't feel your beast master's aura."
"I'm not the master of a flying dragon beast," Xie Sen thought of Long Teng and asked, "Do you want to make a contract? I know a master of a flying dragon beast."
"It's too weak. I don't want it." Black Dragon said disdainfully.
Xie Sen said: "He is very strong, why don't you give him a chance? It will also be good for your mental state."
The black dragon hesitated for a moment and said, "You can try, but I don't want to leave here. All my glittering things are here." It formed its body into a circle and tried its best to keep the ore within its range.
Xie Sen suddenly felt a headache. It was so obsessed with these shiny things, could it be that it would not want to leave even if the contract was successful?
He thought for a moment and said, "Why not get the brightest one so you can always see it? There are so many anyway, and you can't see most of them."
“How can I see it all the time?”
Xie Sen looked at its dragon horns, and suddenly the forehead ornaments worn by beauties in ancient costume dramas emerged in his mind. An idea flashed in his mind: "I will string a bright ore with a rope and hang it just above your nose. If you want to see it, you can lower your head and see it at any time. You don't have to hold it with your claws all the time."
Black Dragon's eyes lit up: "Is it really possible?"
"Well, I'll make one for you to try first. If it works, are you willing to leave here?" Xie Sen asked.
The black dragon tilted his head and looked around: "If I can see the shining ones at any time, I am willing to leave. It would be even better if I can take some away."
Xie Sen was relieved after hearing this. He looked at the size of its forehead, found a suitable piece of ore and handed it to Maine: "Can you grind the surrounding area a little smoother?"
Maine nodded, took the ore, quickly ground off the protruding spikes, and returned it to Xie Sen.
Xie Sen took the ore in his hand, placed his palm flat, summoned rice, exchanged it for the rice with the highest sharpness, and ordered: "Attack the middle, penetrate the middle."
The next moment, the rice husks on the rice ears silently shed, revealing the bright white rice. Then the rice grains quickly flew to the middle of the ore, and came out from the other side of the ore in the blink of an eye.
Because each grain of rice was so sharp, it became very thin, so the hole made by a grain of rice was particularly small. Fortunately, there was a lot of rice, so when the diameter of the hole was about one centimeter, Xie Sen ordered to stop.
He exchanged for a one-meter watermelon vine, strung the ore with the vine, and then tied the two ends to the black dragon's horns, allowing the ore to fall slightly above the black dragon's nose. It didn't even need to lower its head, it could see the ore eye to eye.
The ferocious look of the black dragon was completely destroyed by the ore, and it looked a bit funny.
The black dragon didn't notice it at all, and shouted happily, "How amazing! Why didn't I think of it before!"
It pushed the golden ore that had previously served as a carrier of earth energy: "I want this one, this one is brighter."
Xie Sen followed the same method, drilling a hole in the golden ore, then removed the ore hanging on the black dragon's horn and replaced it with golden ore.
The black dragon was even happier, its tail swaying happily from side to side. It tilted its head and said, "To thank you, I'll give you a cave of treasures! Follow me."
The black dragon was flying in the air, leading the way in front. Xie Sen pulled Maine to follow, and the giant python and giant armored beast followed behind them. Tuantuan still stepped on the giant python's forehead unwillingly, but the giant python did not feel the pain and let it step on it with good temper.
Not long after they walked, the black dragon turned its head and popped in front of Xie Sen. "My spirit starts to fluctuate as soon as I move. Even looking at the ore won't work." It landed from mid-air. "Sit on me. I'll feel comfortable next to you. And... you're too slow!"
Xie Sen suddenly felt disliked. He shook the hand that was holding Maine's and said, "Can we sit together?"
"Can."
Xie Sen and Maine sat on the dragon's back together. Maine hugged him tightly from behind. Xie Sen looked at the smooth dragon's back and touched the phosphorus armor: "Don't go too fast, or I'll slide down!"
Black Dragon said, “No.” The phosphorus armor beside Xie Sen suddenly lifted up, and Black Dragon said, “Hold on tight.”
Xie Sen grabbed the raised phosphorus armor and was a little worried: "Will it come off?"
The Black Dragon responded with a light snort. Xie Sen knew that he was being disliked again.
After sitting on the black dragon, the speed of advancement became extremely fast. It flew skillfully in the extensive underground passages. Xie Sen looked back and saw that the giant python beast and the giant armored beast were following closely behind and were not left behind.
He really was holding back before.
About twenty minutes later, the black dragon stopped at another large underground space, which was very similar to the previous place it had been in, full of gold crystal ore, but in smaller quantities.
"This is my former territory. I accidentally saw this ore when I went out for fun last time." It shook its head, and the ore on its forehead swayed. "I didn't want to let it go after I grabbed it. If I move, my spirit will fluctuate, so I stayed there the whole time."
"After that, my temper became very bad. I could only calm down by looking at the shining ones. So Ah Jia found a lot of shining ones and put them next to me. Many wild beasts were attracted by the shining ones and wanted to fight for them, but Ah Mang dealt with them all."
Xie Sen suddenly realized that he probably understood why the gold crystal mines suddenly decreased. Sokto was taking the blame for the black dragons.
He relayed Black Dragon's words to Maine, and then he looked at the ore and chuckled, "Do you think we should let him take the blame?"
The Sokto they mentioned happened to be thinking about them at this time. After half a month of military investigation, Sokto was cleared of suspicion and officially released this morning.
Although the decrease in gold ore coincided with the time he took office, it was not easy to hide so much ore. Such a big move would always be exposed, and investigations showed that Sokto could not do it.
As soon as Sokto was released, he received a call from Soria. These days, Soria had been in touch with him from time to time. This time, he finally got through. Before he even opened his mouth, he burst into tears: "You must avenge Rui Luo!"
Soria told Rui Luo's story in a hateful voice: "I have been keeping an eye on Maine's whereabouts. He followed the people from Guangyao Company to Mine Planet A yesterday. Maybe he went there just for you. You must take action first and don't let him come back alive!"
Sokto was shocked: "How dare he be so bold?"
Soria screamed, "I told you before, he is the devil. He killed Rui Luo and now he wants to kill you. He is seeking revenge!"
A fierce look flashed across Suoketo's eyes: "Don't worry, I won't let him come back alive. It doesn't matter if he is an S-level beast master. He hasn't formed a bond yet, so he is no match for me."
He hung up the phone, walked out of the room, and asked his men about the movements of the new group of people who had arrived at Guangyao. When he heard that Maine and Xie Sen had gone into the mountains, a smile appeared on his face. It was really a godsend opportunity.
"Modulate the aircraft. I want to go to the mountains to relax and get rid of the bad luck."
Huo Feng took Xueyue to play in the mountains closest to the safe zone. Xueyue became excited after entering the mountain. She rubbed against Huo Feng, then lay down with her back facing him. Huo Feng rubbed her neck and sat on her back.
After he sat down, Xueyue ran in one direction. Huo Feng asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?"
“There’s a strong energy that draws me in.”
It was running very fast, along the foot of the mountain, like a white phantom. Huo Feng looked around and suddenly realized something. He opened his bracelet and clicked on the map, and soon found that the direction Xueyue was moving was exactly Xie Sen and the others' destination today.
As they got closer to their destination, a flying vehicle flew over their heads. Huo Fengtai looked up and frowned. This was not the aircraft that was going to pick up Xie Sen and the others.
Suddenly, a dragon roar was heard, and even the ground began to shake. Xueyue paused for a moment, then continued running.
Not long after, it suddenly stopped: "It disappeared."
"Disappeared?" Huo Feng was surprised. "How could it disappear suddenly?"
Xueyue swung her tail and said, "It must be Asen who took it back. Hey, I was thinking of staying for a while, maybe I'll be smarter. Anyway, I don't have to worry about mental problems if I make a contract now."
Huo Feng was even more puzzled: "Smarter?"
Xueyue told the story of Red Energy again: "Luckily, Asen helped us, otherwise we would all be confused and might even kill each other in the end."
Huo Feng said, "So that's how it is." He turned on the bracelet to contact Xie Sen, but found that neither he nor Maine had any signal. He rubbed Xue Yue's neck and said, "Go walk around. Since he just recovered his energy, he must be nearby."
The people on the Sokto aircraft also heard the dragon's roar, and the pilot's hands began to tremble: "Colonel, there are wild beasts in the mountains. It's too dangerous, and it's not easy to land here."
Sokto looked out the window. "It would be better if there were wild beasts. I hope I can swallow them." He pondered for a moment. "If we don't land, we may not be able to find them if we go down. We should fly slowly nearby and keep watch. If they want to go out, there will definitely be aircraft to pick them up."
"Colonel, you are very smart!" The trusted subordinate who came with him immediately praised.
The aircraft was flying slowly nearby. Sokto and his confidant were observing the situation on the ground. Suddenly, there was movement in their field of vision. One of the confidants said, "Colonel, there's someone."
Sokto took out the telescope: "It's not Maine, it's Huo Feng. What is he doing here?"
"Oh my God!" Sokto was staring at Huo Feng in deep thought when the driver suddenly made a surprised sound.
When Sokto heard the sound, he turned his head and saw a huge black dragon flying into the air from below. In the blink of an eye, it flew to the window of their aircraft, stared inside the window curiously, and then flew away nimbly.
"Oh, there's someone in there," Black Dragon said excitedly. "Haha, it feels so good to fly. I'm almost getting depressed staying in the cave!"
"Colonel..." A confidant swallowed nervously, "Isn't that a flying dragon beast?"
Another confidant also swallowed his saliva: "It looks like there are two people on its back."
The driver shivered and said, "The one behind seems to be Maine."
