Chapter 877: Chapter 462: Monster Outbreak in the Mine (Part 2)
"Oh no!"
Gu Sheng shouted inwardly.
Following that, he quickly surged his just-recovered divine power to form a protective shield.
Since Gu Sheng’s divine power had only half recovered and the situation was urgent, he couldn’t fully exert it.
Therefore, resisting this intense shock was truly difficult.
But at this critical moment, he couldn’t fall!
Inside this mine, there were still many comrades needing his rescue.
"Sssss!"
The energy of the Blood Crystal circulated within him, merging with his divine power to form a powerful barrier.
Gu Sheng felt his Wheel Sea churn, new waves of strength surging forth.
"Hoo..."
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, then shouted loudly as he charged towards the human-dragon.
Gu Sheng surged all his divine power, his body enveloped in a faint red glow.
That was the barrier formed by the energy of the Blood Crystal combined with his divine power.
His eyes were filled with killing intent.
To protect the miners, he had to defeat this human-dragon.
"Roar!!!"
The human-dragon let out an earth-shaking roar.
Its massive body moved, striking a palm towards Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng could feel the powerful force, as if even the air was being compressed.
"Swish!"
Gu Sheng suddenly flew up, surging his divine power to hit a palm towards the human-dragon’s head.
"Puff!"
This palm, in front of the human-dragon, was like a fart.
It didn’t even scratch it!
"This..."
Gu Sheng was stunned in shock, unexpectedly finding his divine power insignificant before the human-dragon!
"Swish!"
The human-dragon’s massive palm sliced through the air with a shattering sound, about to slap Gu Sheng into a meat patty.
"Oh no!"
Gu Sheng thought to himself, but he already realized he couldn’t escape.
Yet at this critical moment, the human-dragon suddenly halted its action.
Its massive head leaned in front of Gu Sheng, hot air exhaling from its huge nostrils, as if sniffing something.
"Sniff sniff..."
Gu Sheng was stunned.
He felt the human-dragon’s breath, a scent mixed with blood and wildness.
Gu Sheng had a realization that the human-dragon might have sensed the scent of the Blood Crystal.
The Blood Crystal should be its egg, the most precious hope for it.
A hint of confusion flashed in the human-dragon’s eyes, seemingly pondering something.
"Sniff sniff..."
Again, a series of intense sniffs.
Then, the human-dragon suddenly turned, its gigantic tail sweeping, shattering the surrounding ores.
But it didn’t attack Gu Sheng anymore.
Gu Sheng stood there in a daze, having no time to delve into why the human-dragon would spare him.
But he knew this was an opportunity, a chance to escape!
He swiftly turned and ran towards the exit of the mine.
"Everyone, run!"
Gu Sheng shouted loudly.
His voice echoed in the mine.
The surviving miners heard his voice, rushing out from their hiding spots, following Gu Sheng towards the exit.
Gu Sheng ran while checking back to observe the human-dragon’s movements.
The human-dragon didn’t pursue, it just stood there, its enormous head hanging low, as if contemplating something.
Minutes later, Gu Sheng and the miners escaped out of Mine No. 13.
Sunlight shone on their faces, they breathed fresh air deeply, as if escaping from hell back to life.
"Boohoo... That scared me to death... How could there be such a thing?"
"Yeah! I was so scared I could barely move."
"I want to go home, I want to go home, even if not home, I’m never going back to Mine No. 13..."
The surviving miners came out, some wailing loudly, some praying with relief, and some sitting in a daze.
Perhaps the recent scene truly terrified them.
Gu Sheng stood at the cave entrance, looking back into the dark mine.
"What happened? What’s going on?"
Suddenly, a dozen cultivators from Shaking Light Sacred Land rushed to Gu Sheng’s side.
Leading them was a middle-aged cultivator, accompanied by Xiao Long and his other companions.
"Monsters! Underground monsters!"
"There was something as tall as that small mountain underground!"
"Yes! Eating people! One by one!"
...
Dozens of miners surrounded them, recounting what they had just seen.
At once, those cultivators from Shaking Light Sacred Land didn’t know who to listen to.
"Uh..."
Seeing this, Xiao Long quickly shouted, "Everyone, don’t panic, don’t panic, one at a time!"
Then, Gu Sheng stepped forward and said, "There might be a creature from the ancient past in Mine No. 13."
"What! Creature from the ancient past?"
Xiao Long stood in shock.
From his eyes, Gu Sheng could tell he had heard of these before.
"Mr. Qin, it seems there’s trouble!"
Xiao Long turned towards the middle-aged cultivator beside him and said.
"Mr. Qin?"
Gu Sheng looked at this middle-aged cultivator, feeling he had never seen him before.
Then Gu Sheng asked, "Who is he..."
"Oh, Brother Sheng, this is a prospective elder of Shaking Light Sacred Land, sent to the Northern Territory to assist Elder Li Yuan."
Xiao Long introduced to Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng nodded and casually asked, "What realm is he in now?"
"Dao Palace Secret Realm."
Mr. Qin replied.
Hearing this, Gu Sheng secretly nodded.
After all, he was just a cultivator from the other shore, still a realm away from the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
But that human-dragon was a creature from the ancient past, let alone the Dao Palace Secret Realm, even the Supreme Elder Level of Shaking Light Sacred Land couldn’t necessarily defeat it.
"Boom rumble..."
Suddenly, a low sound rumbled.
"Xiao Long, and the others, come with me!"
Having spoken, Mr. Qin intended to lead Xiao Long and the other dozen cultivators down into Mine No. 13.
Gu Sheng hurriedly went forward to stop them, "No! The human-dragon inside isn’t an ordinary creature, you can’t defeat it!"
"Humph! Not as timid as you!"
Mr. Qin snorted coldly, directly leading everyone down.
"Uh..."
Watching Mr. Qin and their figures disappear into the shadows of the mine, Gu Sheng stood in place.
At this moment, Gu Sheng felt a sense of powerlessness filling his heart.
He knew the terror of the human-dragon, not something ordinary cultivators could contend with.
But he couldn’t convince Mr. Qin either.
"What a mess!"
At this time, Gu Sheng heard Old Li complaining about something.
He turned his head to look and saw Old Li staring at Zhang Dadan with scorn.
Zhang Dadan sat there, face pale, wanting to retort but unable to open his mouth.
"Old Li, how many comrades did we lose?"
Gu Sheng stepped forward to ask.
"Over two hundred and thirty went down, only forty or fifty made it back."
Old Li said, letting out a heavy sigh.
Gu Sheng looked at the comrades, although they had escaped, some were covered in injuries.
"You two, quickly inform Elder Li Yuan of the situation here!"
Gu Sheng commanded two young miners.
"Yes!"
The two responded, quickly running off.
Time passed by the minute, Gu Sheng stood at the cave entrance, his heart filled with anxiety.
Suddenly, roars echoed from within the cave.
"Roar roar roar!"
The sounds were filled with rage.
Gu Sheng guessed it must be the human-dragon roaring.
At this time, two different roaring sounds came through.
Could it be...
Could it not just be one human-dragon?
Gu Sheng’s heart sank.
As the saying goes, pure yin doesn’t grow, pure yang doesn’t last.
If that human-dragon egg could hatch, it certainly wouldn’t be just one human-dragon!
This means, what Mr. Qin and Xiao Long were confronting, could be multiple human-dragons!
"Oh no..."
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng felt a shiver on his scalp.
But at this moment, he could only wait...
The sounds lasted for a while, gradually fading away.
Gu Sheng stood at the cave entrance, hesitating whether to go down and check.
Just as he was about to step into the mine, a battered figure crawled out from within.
"Xiao Long!"
Gu Sheng exclaimed, hurriedly stepping forward to support him.
At this time, Xiao Long was covered in wounds, one arm seemed to have been torn by the human-dragon’s claws, blood continuously dripping from the wound.
"Brother Sheng..."
Xiao Long’s voice was weak, barely able to open his mouth and say, "Quick... inform... inform the elder!"
