The Crystal Beast kept digging deeper, avoiding the various mineral veins that attracted it. The route went straight down to a very deep place. Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi followed behind and kept digging deeper. A group of people followed them along this road far behind them and continued moving forward.

“Boss! Something’s wrong! Is this road getting deeper and deeper?” The people following behind all felt that something was wrong as they went deeper and deeper. The man in the lead also frowned. “We encountered a lot of mineral veins along the way, which proves that this road was indeed developed by explorers. However, this route… is indeed a bit too deep, but it’s very likely to lead straight to ultimate mineral veins!” The man in the lead was full of thoughts. If he couldn’t find ultimate mineral veins, he would never leave just like that!

“Keep going. No matter where this road leads, we must keep going!” The man in the lead roared. The people behind him didn’t say anything else and all followed behind silently. The leader had already said so. What else could they say? They could only keep going like this.

The Crystal Beast suddenly stopped and ran to Yun Feng at an extremely high speed. It raised its head and winked at Yun Feng. Yun Feng immediately reached out and it jumped into Yun Feng’s palm obediently, yawning lazily. Yun Feng said, “You can’t dig ahead?”

The Crystal Beast nodded and rubbed its head against Yun Feng’s palm. It yawned lazily, implying that it was tired. Yun Feng chuckled and rubbed the Crystal Beast’s head with her finger. She looked at the deep tunnel in front of her. The fluctuation of the lightning elements seemed to be even closer. If the Crystal Beast couldn’t get through, it seemed that there was another world.

After putting the Crystal Beast back into the space, Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi continued to walk towards the tunnel in front of them. The deeper they went, the more they felt a faint fluctuation of elements floating slowly. Both of them couldn’t help but smile. “I feel the fluctuation of the lightning element. Even though it’s very weak, it’s getting clearer. What about you, Xiao Feng?”

Yun Feng nodded. “That’s right. There are indeed fluctuations of lightning elements. Lanyi, look!”

The two of them stopped. At this moment, the two of them didn’t know how many meters underground they were at all. The tunnel in front of them had already reached the end. What they saw was a huge gray wall. Lightning elements were slowly emitting from behind this wall. Yun Feng walked forward and slowly put her hand on the wall. Her mental strength seeped into her hand, wanting to investigate the situation on the other side through the wall. Who would have thought that when her mental strength was about to pass through the wall in front of her, it would be bounced back by a force?

“What’s wrong?” Seeing that Yun Feng’s hand left the wall, as if some kind of force had bounced it back, Qu Lanyi couldn’t help but ask in a low voice. Yun Feng frowned and then put on a smile. “Are we not allowed to pry?

“This wall rejected you?” Qu Lanyi raised his brows and wanted to put his hand on the wall, but Yun Feng stopped him. “I’m afraid this wall isn’t rejecting me. It’s very likely that the Lightning Seed inside is rejecting me.”

“If we can’t break this wall, we won’t be able to get the Lightning Seed.” Qu Lanyi frowned and watched. Yun Feng pondered for a while. Indeed, the most important thing right now was to break this wall so that she could make the next move.

“If you refuse, I can only use force,” said Yun Feng as she looked at the wall in front of her with her black eyes. If she used her own strength, it was possible to break through this place by force. However… if she broke through this place by force, it would cause quite a huge commotion. Yun Feng’s black eyes darkened. Even if there was a commotion, it wouldn’t be very big. After all, this place was already too far from the ground.

“You want to break it by force?” Qu Lanyi looked at Yun Feng. Yun Feng nodded.

“That’s the only way right now.”

“Alright, I’ll help you,” said Qu Lanyi. Yun Feng chuckled. The two of them were about to gather their strength when their expressions changed!

“Someone is really following us?” asked Qu Lanyi in a deep voice. Yun Feng was also a bit confused. There were indeed other auras approaching them, but these people were obviously much weaker. If these people had been following

her from the beginning, she would have noticed them.

“These people weren’t the ones who made me feel like I was being followed just then,” said Yun Feng. Then, she pondered. “They’re most likely the people who dug mineral veins on the Crystal Plains. They dug here… and found the hole we hid.”

“This place is so remote. How did they find this place?” Qu Lanyi frowned. Yun Feng shook her head. “I don’t know either. Perhaps it’s a coincidence. These people probably think there’s something good here. Just stop them.”

Yun Feng waved her hand and a beam of green light appeared next to her. Sister Hua’s enchanting body twisted a few times. As soon as she came out, she opened her arms and was about to hug Yun Feng. Yun Feng was quick and dodged narrowly.

“Little Yun Feng, do you not like me anymore? Why are you so cold?” Sister Hua looked aggrieved. Her green eyes were glittering and very hazy and tempting. Yun Feng raised the corners of her mouth awkwardly. What exactly attracted her to hug her?

“Sister Hua, stop those people behind.” Yun Feng said concisely and tried to get rid of Sister Hua in the shortest time possible. Sister Hua raised her brows and combed her green wavy hair with her finger. “Did those people ruin Little Yun Feng’s business? Do I just have to stop them? You don’t want me to do anything else?”

Yun Feng shook her head. “No need. They don’t really disturb me. I just need to stop them.”

Sister Hua pouted. “Tsk. Since Little Yun Feng has said so, I can only do this.” Sister Hua twisted her body and took a few steps forward. She turned around and put on an extremely charming smile at Yun Feng. “Little Yun Feng, I’ll definitely stop those people. Don’t worry.”

Yun Feng could only raise the corners of her mouth awkwardly again. Sister

Hua chuckled and turned around to leave. When Sister Hua disappeared, Qu Lanyi frowned. “Among your five contracted Magic Beasts, this one has the weirdest personality. If I didn’t know her gender, I would definitely have fought with her first.”

Yun Feng was speechless. Sister Hua’s gender… was hermaphrodite. Sister Hua’s personality was the same. She had a kind of intentional intimacy with her.

“Sister Hua will block those people. If you want to break this wall, it’s best to succeed in one try. If you try many times, this area might collapse just like that..”
