X-Dragon Era-Chapter 511 - s 370-372 Meticulous Arrangement_2

Hearing the old man’s words, Xin Yun was slightly startled and couldn’t help but show a look of disappointment on his face. It was quite obvious... even if there was copper, it hadn’t been discovered yet. Otherwise, Xin Yun would have surely heard something about it in his previous life.

After sighing with disappointment and getting ready to continue browsing the streets, the elder next to him hesitated for a moment and cautiously said, "By the way, although I don’t know the specifics, when the Dragon Head Gang was guarding this place, they seemed to be sneakily wandering around the south side of Shoushan. Even though they were very covert, they would visit that place every once in a while. I’m not sure..."

Hearing the elder’s words, Xin Yun was first taken aback, then suddenly turned around, and asked eagerly, "Did you really see it? Point it out to me, where exactly were they wandering?"

At Xin Yun’s words, the elder turned around and pointed in the direction of Shoushan, "Look, from here you see, just a little above the treetops there, there’s one... Yes, that’s right, near that Giant Pine, I always saw them coming and going from there."

Hearing the elder’s words, Xin Yun could no longer wait, called out to his companions, and the four of them directly piloted the Giant Dragon up into the air, flying towards the location the elder had indicated.

Once they soared into the sky and looked down from a high altitude, the whole of Shoushan was truly vast, so much so that even from an altitude of ten thousand meters, you couldn’t see the end. Eight residential areas were built around Shoushan, with a commercial area in the middle that was exceptionally developed, and the commercial area was surrounded by Shou Yang Mountain!

Following the old man’s directions, the four of them flew straight toward the wide and towering Giant Pine on the mountain peak. Although the area could be hiding dangers, Xin Yun and the others were fearless. With their current condition, even if they couldn’t defeat their enemies, escaping wouldn’t be a problem, all the more so because... Xin Yun had once again expended tens of thousands of Immortal Stones to fully recharge the Kongtong Seal. Unless they encountered a diamond-ranked expert above One Star, there was no risk to their lives.

The four moved swiftly, and in just a short while, they had one after the other arrived under the Giant Pine. Seeing the pine tree from up close, this Giant Pine was truly worthy of its name, for Xin Yun had never before seen such a colossal pine!

From afar, the Giant Pine already appeared massive, but now, up close, it was even more extraordinary, with a diameter of hundreds of meters, a height that pierced into the clouds, and dense branches. How many years must it have lived to grow so large, it was practically becoming sentient.

Shaking his head, Xin Yun didn’t dwell on observing the Giant Pine. Directing Yinglong, they started a thorough search of the surrounding area. After just a brief survey, all four of them noticed that this place was frequently visited. Although the traces were well concealed, human marks were impossible to completely hide. With careful observation, almost anyone could notice them. Now, the question was, what exactly were they doing here? They had to uncover the mystery!

Under close scrutiny, they couldn’t hide all traces anymore. Following the signs of human activity, the four slowly approached the massive Giant Pine with a diameter of hundreds of meters and then... they found a tree hole over ten meters in diameter at the base of the tree!

Looking at the dark tree hole, the group exchanged looks. For safety’s sake, Xin Yun summoned Yinglong, after which all four climbed onto Yinglong, each readying their magical treasures.

Xin Yun brought forth the Chaos Cauldron, Ming Xuan raised the Chaos Bell, Yi Luo Xiang produced the Taiji Diagram, and Yan Qingying clutched the twelve All-Heaven Netherworld Banners. Should trouble arise, they couldn’t guarantee defeat of an enemy, but even if they encountered a diamond-ranked expert, they could ensure precious time to escape.

Seeing everyone prepared, Xin Yun waved his hand, and Yinglong’s body twisted as it wormed its way into the tree hole over ten meters in diameter.

The Giant Pine was terrifyingly immense; a ten-meter diameter tree hole seemed inconspicuous against its hundred-meter wide trunk, and with the dense pine needles covering it, one could hardly notice without looking closely.

Following the enormous tree hole, the four moved deeper inside. At first, all was pitch black, but as they delved deeper, the walls of the hole began to emit a faint green glow.

Bathed in the green light, Yinglong slithered down silently. After progressing for hundreds of miles, they finally faintly detected a human scent ahead!

It might seem odd to mention a human scent here, but it was actually not strange at all. Nature, no matter how it changes, cannot produce the scents that humans can. If people live in an area, the smell of the surrounding air changes; these scents, mixed with the smell of smoke, food... a range of odors, are uniquely human-made.

With a thought, Yinglong slowly became transparent, and the next moment... the entire Giant Dragon disappeared quietly within the tree hole. No matter how carefully one looked, they could only see a faint disturbance in the air, and Yinglong’s true body was completely invisible.

Advancing further, finally... a flash of light appeared ahead, signaling the end of the tree hole. As Yinglong maneuvered through, everyone entered a wondrous world.

Note, this was described as a ’world’ and not just a cave. Looking around, it bore almost no difference from a world within a pot, except... the sky in the world within a pot was ice-blue, while the sky here was blood-red. Yet it was just as boundless and vast, aptly described only as a ’world’!
