Chapter 40: Giant Skeleton
In a wooden house next to the Yang Yuan Stone mine, Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong were sitting quietly on the bed with their eyes closed, constantly absorbing the ninth-grade Yang Gang Qi emitted by Prince Bai Day.
“If you want to reach the Yuandan realm, you must first keep the yin and yang in your body in balance, and then fuse them together to achieve true yin and yang harmony. Only in this way can they condense into a pill.” Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Changqiang with a chuckle. “However, with your Yinsha Ritual and Yanggang Treasure Clothes, this originally most difficult step has become the easiest.”
"That's right, don't you see who I am~" Lin Changqiang's mouth curled up into a nifty smile. Ever since he had Prince Bai Day, he didn't even care about the Yang Yuan Stone.
"It's time for the routine inspection. Do you want to go or should I?" Lin Dong raised his eyebrows.
“Let’s go together. It’s a good opportunity to relax. Cultivation should be a combination of work and rest.” Thinking of the Fire Demon Flower in the mineral vein, Lin Changqiang naturally couldn’t let Lin Dong stay here. He made up an excuse and pulled the other party out of the house.
"Master Longspear.", "Master Lin Dong."
Seeing the two people coming out, the guards and workers of the Lin family stopped and saluted respectfully.
During this period, the news that the two had reached the Tianyuan realm was widely spread, and everyone knew that these two young men had great potential.
In response, Lin Changqiang also smiled and nodded. Although the two of them were nominally the contractors here, when it came to action, they still had to rely on those experienced managers. Of course, based on their personalities, they couldn't put on that kind of bossy attitude.
Lin Dong stood on a high place, looking at the bustling scene below, and nodded with satisfaction. However, Lin Changqiang was always staring at the exit of the mine, waiting silently.
Finally, there was a sudden commotion at the exit of the mine. Lin Changqiang's eyes lit up immediately: "Lin Dong, let's go and see what's going on."
"? All right." Lin Dong was slightly startled, not understanding why Lin Changqiang was so enthusiastic, but he did not refuse. Xiao Yan, who was basking in the sun nearby, saw this and quickly followed the two of them.
Under the leadership of the foreman, several people went deeper quickly, and walked along the winding and forked mine tunnels for a long time before stopping at the end of a mine tunnel.
At the end of the mine tunnel, there is a relatively narrow crack. Looking at the traces of excavation on the side, it is obvious that it was dug out not long ago.
"A worker dug a tunnel here. Out of curiosity, he went in, but was burned by the hot gas inside." The foreman looked at the crack in front of him with fear.
Lin Changqiang nodded, then moved forward and put his arm into the crack. Sure enough, a hot and violent gas instantly wrapped around his right arm and tried to penetrate into his body, but in the end it was absorbed by the system and turned into pure Yuanli.
“Lin Dong, there is a kind of violent yang energy emanating from here. I think there must be some rare treasure inside. Let’s go in and take a look together.” Lin Changqiang turned his head and looked at Lin Dong “excitedly”.
“Yang Gang Qi?” Lin Dong raised his eyebrows, showing some interest. “You guys stay here and don’t let others get close to avoid getting hurt. Chang Qiang and I will go in and take a look.”
After that, the two men and the tiger went through the cracks one after another and entered the passage. The passage was very narrow at first, just wide enough for one person to pass through, but after walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly became open.
What appeared before them was a red area of broken rocks, which looked like flowing magma from a distance. A scorching heat rose from the ground, causing the air above to distort.
"The last time I saw this kind of distorted air was at a barbecue stall." Lin Changqiang couldn't help but recall the delicious food from his previous life and swallowed his saliva.
"What a big bone!" Lin Dong suddenly exclaimed.
Lin Changqiang followed Lin Dong's line of sight and saw that in the center of the broken rocks, there stood a beast bone several dozen feet high!
Although only the bones of this huge creature were left, the two still felt a special pressure from it. It was not difficult to imagine that this must be some kind of powerful monster, but they didn't know why it died here. Just as the two were surprised, Xiao Yan, who was standing beside them, suddenly turned into a red shadow and rushed towards the white animal bones.
This scene frightened Lin Dong so much that his face changed. He didn't want Xiao Yan to get into any accident, so he gritted his teeth and rushed over quickly. Seeing this, Lin Changqiang hurriedly followed.
The two men and the beast quickly rushed through the rubble, and then slowed down as they approached the animal bones.
Xiao Yan stopped beside the skeleton. His originally strong body seemed insignificant compared to the skeleton.
It stared at the mysterious skeleton closely, and suddenly jumped up in Lin Dong's shocked eyes, climbing up the skeleton quickly, and with a "whoosh", it jumped onto the neck of the skeleton.
“What is this little guy doing?” Seeing Xiao Yan’s actions, Lin Dong frowned in confusion.
"Have you forgotten those two black iron demon leopards?" Lin Changqiang looked at Xiao Yan with some anticipation.
“Are you talking about the demon crystal?!” Upon hearing that, Lin Dong immediately widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yan. Under his gaze, Xiao Yan raised his sharp tiger claws and slapped down directly, knocking the already fragile head to the ground.
The huge head shattered to the ground in an instant. Xiao Yan quickly jumped down and rummaged around in it. Finally, he grabbed a fiery red bead as big as a fist, opened his bloody mouth, rolled his tongue, and swallowed the bead.
"Roar!"
Almost at the moment of swallowing the bead, a ball of blazing flames erupted from Xiao Yan's body. Its body slowly swelled up, and its painful roar shook the huge cave to the point of collapse.
Looking at the rapidly expanding small flame, Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong subconsciously took half a step back.
Fortunately, this expansion only lasted for a while before it stopped abruptly. Afterwards, Xiao Yan's huge body gradually shrank and finally returned to its original size.
"Xiao Yan?" Lin Dong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Yan had returned to normal, and then called out carefully.
"Roar!" Hearing Lin Dong's shout, Xiao Yan immediately raised his head, rushed to Lin Dong's side quickly, and rubbed Lin Dong with his head that was bigger than a basketball. Seeing this, Lin Changqiang also smiled and touched Xiao Yan's head and began to check Xiao Yan's body.
Xiao Yan's already fiery red fur became even more eye-catching, looking like a burning flame, and his tiger claws became even sharper. You could tell their incredible lethality without even trying.
The two people's gazes finally stopped on Xiao Yan's buttocks. At this moment, there was a small bulge at the end of the python's unique tail, as if it was pregnant with something.
"It's good that you're okay. We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's go out first." Seeing that Xiao Yan was not seriously injured, Lin Dong began to think of retreating. However, just as he was about to retreat, Xiao Yan suddenly roared towards a certain place.
Seeing this, Lin Dong was slightly startled, but Lin Changqiang used a double experience card with a happy face.
The two looked in the direction Xiao Yan pointed, and saw that behind the skeleton, there was a piece of magma rock, and on the top of the magma rock, there was a red flower in full bloom, beautiful to the point of being enchanting, and around the flower, there was a faint red mist lingering...
