X-Dragon Era-Chapter 512 - 370-372: Meticulous Arrangements_3

However, for the time being, Xin Yun and his group didn’t dare to closely observe this world. Right at the end of the cave entrance, where the entrance to this mysterious realm was located, there were more than a dozen experts of the Purple Crystal level guarding it. Fortunately, Yinglong could become invisible, so they weren’t discovered for the time being.

Looking carefully around, a row of wooden huts was constructed using timber at the location of the cave entrance. These people responsible for guarding likely resided there. It was just unknown whether there were people in other areas.

During their contemplation, Xin Yun wasn’t in a hurry to deal with these fellows. With a turn, Yinglong began to wander in this world. After spending more than an hour, Xin Yun and the other three had thoroughly investigated the entire realm. Thankfully… aside from the guards, there were currently no other people here. It was likely... that the Dragon Head Gang had just discovered this place and before they could start developing it, they were beheaded by Xin Yun and his group. Therefore, this information should not have leaked out yet. As long as they solved the problem of those guarding the cave, everything would be OK!

The reason Xin Yun was certain that the news here hadn’t leaked out was actually based on a clear fact... These dozen or so fellows had already received orders that they absolutely were not allowed to leave. Otherwise, given the great changes outside Shoushan, how could they still be leisurely guarding here? They would have no idea who to join by now.

To suppress experts of the Purple Crystal level, only Diamond-level masters were capable. If these guys knew that Wang Sheng had already died, it was very likely they would consider this place as a gift to offer to another force. Even if they wanted to keep it for themselves, they would have started to develop it by now.

While thinking, Xin Yun rode Yinglong and turned back to the entrance again. It must be said... although this place also looked vast and boundless, that was mainly an issue with the lighting. The real area didn’t even make up one percent of the Pocket Universe, and it could only accommodate a hundred thousand people at most.

The spiritual energy here wasn’t too abundant, but the air was full of the utmost Yang energy, especially in the very center of this space. There was an Earth Fire Eye ejecting flames of extremely high temperature, so hot that it could melt everything!

It seemed that Laozi chose this place to build the Dou Rate Palace because he set his sights on the super high-temperature flames. After all… Laozi loved alchemy, and his requirements for fire were very high. Since there was an inexhaustible supply of Earth’s Core Fire here, naturally, it was Laozi’s most favored place. As for the concentration of spiritual energy, it was quite secondary.

Heading all the way to the cave entrance, as they were about to approach it, suddenly a violent rumbling sound came from the front. Flashes of light flickered, clearly indicating that a fierce battle was taking place!

Hearing the sound of the battle, the four exchanged glances. Could it be that someone else had broken into this place? Or was there internal strife? What exactly was going on!

While thinking, Xin Yun rode Yinglong stealthily and swiftly moved closer. Finally... the battleground appeared in front of the four. On closer inspection, those twelve Purple Crystal-level experts were riding their Giant Dragons, circling continually in mid-air. Below them, a towering Giant Pine stood proudly, shooting continuous streams of green pine needles at the twelve Purple Crystal-level experts above.

Looking closely, the Giant Pine moved without wind, continuously launching green pine needles. Each bundle of five needles was extremely sharp and moved very fast, just like gusting wind. Unfortunate to say, the strength of the pine tree wasn’t impressive; the needles it shot couldn’t break through the defenses of the Purple Crystal-level experts.

Even as the pine needles struck them, the twelve Purple Crystal-level experts continued to unleash attacks, bombarding the Giant Pine that had emerged out of nowhere on the ground. It was well known that pine trees were rooted in the ground and couldn’t move, only passively taking hits. They were being blown up, branches and leaves flying, bark scattering.

Perhaps unable to withstand the opponent’s bombardment, the Giant Pine slowly sank into the ground and quickly disappeared. The next moment... nine thick roots suddenly shot up from the ground, flying through the air and continuously unleashing Wind Blades towards the Purple Crystal-level experts in the sky. Regrettably… such attacks were unable to harm the opponents.

Watching the battle unfold before them, Xin Yun and the other three looked at each other, completely unsure of what was happening. After a long pause... Yi Luo Xiang uncertainly said, "What’s going on here? Could it be that the giant pine tree outside has become a spirit?"

Hearing Yi Luo Xiang’s words, Xin Yun nodded and said, "Exactly, it must be so. Did you notice that when we came here earlier, the first half of the tree hole was natural, but the latter half was clearly excavated by hand."

"Hmm...," hearing Xin Yun’s analysis, Yan Qingying joined in and said, "That’s right, considering the location and direction, that passage is likely one of the main roots of the giant pine outside. But now... it’s been breached by these guys, directly connecting to here. No wonder it seeks revenge."

Hearing Yan Qingying’s words, Ming Xuan shook his head and frowned, "Although it’s quite spirited, it’s a pity that its strength is too weak to bother the opponents. Rather than doing this, it would be better to bide its time and seize the opportunity to eliminate all the opponents at once!"

As the four conversed, they had mostly figured out the true nature of the situation. Although they couldn’t be certain, there were no other explanations.

Having analyzed the approximate cause and effect of the situation, Yi Luo Xiang and the other two simultaneously turned their heads to look at Xin Yun. Without speaking, it was clear they were seeking Xin Yun’s opinion on what to do next.
