"Four senior masters, please don’t take action yet!" Ling Feng quickly stopped the four Hall Masters.

Although the four Hall Masters are very powerful and the Earth Steel Dragon cannot harm them, if a battle were to break out, it would definitely be earth-shattering. If it attracts too much attention, what if it draws the attention of experts from the Abyss Realm or Divine Realm?

After all, Ling Feng and his group are currently in the shadows. If other factions discover their existence, it would not be good for them.

"Why?" Lord of the Purple Sun Palace frowned and said, "This guy doesn’t look easy to deal with. I think we should strike first."

Ling Feng said, "This is the Earth Steel Dragon of the Ghostly Ruins. They are extremely powerful, with astonishing defense. Even if all five of us attack together, it’s not easy to kill it, especially since our powers are currently suppressed!"

"More importantly, the Earth Steel Dragon is very gentle in nature. As long as we don’t attack it first, it won’t attack us!"

Tianshu Palace Master curiously asked, "Ling Feng, do you know this big guy?"

Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, I once read about this creature in a tome, and I also know its weaknesses. Fellow seniors, I will go up and communicate with the Earth Steel Dragon to ensure it has no hostility towards us."

The four Hall Masters showed surprised expressions and, seeing Ling Feng’s confidence, agreed with his plan: "But you must be very careful. If things don’t go well, retreat immediately. Safety first!"

Ling Feng smiled, "Of course."

The massive figure ahead also stopped. The Earth Steel Dragon sensed five auras ahead that put a lot of pressure on it, but it didn’t attack immediately; instead, it showed a cautious expression.

Ling Feng slowly walked forward. When he arrived in front of the Earth Steel Dragon, he looked at this colossal creature over ten meters tall and then extended his hand.

In his hand were a few stalks of green plants with a peculiar scent.

The four Hall Masters watched this scene with wary and tense eyes. They didn’t understand what Ling Feng intended to do. Was he trying to appease it with these herbs? How could that be possible!

But to their shock, the enormous Earth Steel Dragon actually lowered its massive head, then extended its tongue to roll up the herbs from Ling Feng’s hand. It then lay down beside Ling Feng, its eyes showing a gentle expression.

Ling Feng patted the Earth Steel Dragon’s neck, and in return, it affectionately licked the palm of his hand. The two seemed like old friends.

"What on earth is going on here!" Lord of the Purple Sun Palace couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

"I also want to know what’s going on!" Lord Hei Shan said with a wry smile, "But I realize one thing, never underestimate Ling Feng. He gives me a mysterious feeling; you can never figure out how many cards he has up his sleeve."

The other three nodded in agreement. Although they hadn’t been with Ling Feng for long, they all felt this way!

"Let’s go up and see what’s happening!" Lord of the Heavenly Fire Palace put away his weapon and said with a smile, "I’m quite curious too."

The four walked forward, and the Earth Steel Dragon raised its head, its expression cautious. Ling Feng patted its neck and said, "It’s okay, don’t worry!"

The Earth Steel Dragon lowered its head. Seeing this, Lord of the Heavenly Fire Palace curiously asked, "Ling Feng, how did you do it?"

Ling Feng smiled and said, "Do you know why the Earth Steel Dragon came here?"

"How could we possibly know!" Lord of the Purple Sun Palace shrugged.

Ling Feng said, "It’s because there’s Smoke Cage Grass here, which the Earth Steel Dragon loves. But around the Smoke Cage Grass, there is often Smoke Fumigation Grass, which the Earth Steel Dragon dislikes. But to eat the Smoke Cage Grass, they have to eat the Smoke Fumigation Grass along with it."

"I just pulled out the Smoke Cage Grass earlier, so it doesn’t have to swallow the unpleasant Smoke Fumigation Grass!" Ling Feng explained with a smile.

"It’s that simple?" Lord Hei Shan found it hard to believe.

Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, it’s that simple! After all, the Earth Steel Dragon is naturally a very gentle creature. I showed goodwill, and it naturally accepted it."

Lord of the Heavenly Fire Palace said thoughtfully, "It seems we overcomplicated things."

Ling Feng said, "Yes, in fact, many things don’t require force as the only solution. If we have better ways, why use force?"

"However... to achieve an equal dialogue, strength is also indispensable!" Ling Feng sighed, "Fellow seniors, with the Earth Steel Dragon here, we can have a peaceful sleep tonight!"

The Earth Steel Dragon is an extremely powerful presence in this area. With its aura, ferocious beasts naturally won’t dare to approach.

The four Hall Masters sat down to rest, while Ling Feng quietly talked with the Earth Steel Dragon, and the Earth Steel Dragon occasionally nodded, making subtle sounds.

With the Dragon God Physique, Ling Feng found it easy to communicate with countless beings. He was now inquiring about the surroundings with the Earth Steel Dragon.

When the four Hall Masters opened their eyes the next morning, they found the Earth Steel Dragon had disappeared, and Ling Feng was staring solemnly at the valley ahead.

"What’s wrong? What happened, why do you look so serious?" Lord Hei Shan asked suspiciously.

Ling Feng turned his head and said, "Yesterday, when I communicated with the Earth Steel Dragon, I learned some things about the valley ahead. The situation is somewhat beyond my expectations."

"What’s going on?" Lord of the Heavenly Fire Palace asked again.

Ling Feng said seriously, "According to the Earth Steel Dragon, no less than ten powerful factions have recently entered the Ghostly Ruins. Each of them has significant strength, with super-experts in charge! Many strong creatures in the Ghostly Ruins have been driven out or even killed, and now the depths of the Ghostly Ruins are occupied by Outsiders."

"How can there be so many factions?" Lord of the Heavenly Fire Palace couldn’t help but ask.

Ling Feng took a breath and said, "Yes, I thought it was only people from the Divine Realm and the Abyss Realm. Unexpectedly, besides the experts from these two Planes, there are also experts from other Planes. Our chance to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth has diminished greatly!"

"Hmph, no matter how many there are, we must still fight for it!" Lord of the Purple Sun Palace said sternly, "This might be our biggest chance to save the Ancient Ruins!"
