Bone Dragon?
Ye Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked into the distant dark fog.
An immense Bone Dragon appeared, its originally pure white bones now covered in strange, long red fur, making it look even more sinister and terrifying.
Its massive body moved through the black fog. It appeared slow, but in reality, it traveled at an incredible speed, rapidly approaching the small group.
After sensing the powerful aura of the Bone Dragon, the Life and Death Realm cultivator was scared stiff, unable to move.
"What kind of cultivation base is this? Has it reached the Eternal Realm? How could there be such terrifying and bizarre creatures in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land?" he muttered to himself, his body seemingly rooted in place, completely immobilized.
At this point, everyone else had lost their footing and crumpled to the ground.
Only the young lady in colorful attire, holding the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon, remained standing, unaffected.
All the pressure seemed to vanish when it reached her.
The massive Bone Dragon did not approach any closer. It circled a few times in the surrounding fog, and sensing nothing unusual, it turned and swam away, quickly vanishing from sight.
"Master, why is there a Bone Dragon in this place? Could it be that a Divine Dragon fell here once before?" the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon asked in a low voice.
"Perhaps. Just protect this little girl well. Don't worry about anything else for now," Ye Yun instructed. Then, his Divine Sense began to track the retreating Red-haired Bone Dragon.
He wanted to find out where this Bone Dragon would eventually go.
The appearance of this Bone Dragon might be related to the Dragon Cave… Such speculation arose in Ye Yun's heart.
The Red-haired Bone Dragon moved incredibly fast, flying high in the sky, undetected by anyone. It cut through the clouds and fog, quickly reaching a lake in the mountains near the forty-third Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
Floating above the lake were some small black boats.
Ye Yun's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but chuckle as he glanced at these small boats.
The Nether Immortal Ancient Land truly is strange; these small boats are actually bizarre creatures. They're alive too.
Flying over the lake, the Bone Dragon suddenly plunged, its massive body sinking into the deep waters.
Ye Yun's Divine Sense followed it down.
Once the Bone Dragon reached the lakebed, it coiled up and seemed to enter a state of deep slumber.
Ye Yun looked around but found nothing. He compared the terrain of the surrounding mountains but didn't find any similarities with the Ancient Dragon Cave Map.
The previous speculation about the Dragon Cave seemed to have reached a dead end here.
After leaving the lake, Ye Yun's Divine Sense returned to Luo Li's mind.
Although the Red-haired Bone Dragon was strange, it did not interfere with the cultivators' trials in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, so Ye Yun did not attack it.
The juniors from the Dragon God Sect have only been training for two days. It's best to let them continue for now. Meanwhile, I can also focus on my cultivation.
「Meanwhile.」
Luo Li and the others followed the female Suibai deep into the mountains and harvested several Divine Element Longevity Fruits.
This greatly excited everyone.
This female Suibai's behavior was almost identical to the male Suibai's; both treated them exceptionally well, like great benefactors, allowing them to obtain Divine Element Longevity Fruits with such ease.
If it were anyone else, obtaining a Divine Element Longevity Fruit would have been much more difficult.
After all, numerous bizarre creatures gathered around every Divine Longevity Tree, and one had to kill them to obtain the Divine Element Longevity Fruits.
A streak of black light tore through the air.
"Sect Master, so you are all here! You were really difficult to find!" The Big Black Cat landed, its eyes red-rimmed and filled with excitement as it looked at Luo Li and the others.
He had finally reunited with the main group, which had not been easy. He had journeyed deep without stopping, and it was by sheer luck that he had found the Sect Master and the others.
"Suibai led us to pick Divine Element Longevity Fruits, so we couldn't contact you then," Luo Li apologized, seeing the travel-weary Big Black Cat.
"Little Black Cat, how did you manage to lose those people so quickly?" Jun Moxiao asked with a laugh from the side.
"I rushed towards the exit, hoping to encounter Senior Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon... Luckily, I really did bump into him." The Big Black Cat scratched his head, grinning.
"So that's how it was!" Jun Moxiao had a sudden realization and let out a burst of laughter.
Everyone was fully aware of the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon's true cultivation base. Within the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, it was an invincible, heaven-defying existence.
Any bizarre creature, any powerful force, was pathetically weak before this Dragon Senior.
"Let's go!" The usually taciturn Suibai suddenly spoke, her voice extremely hoarse.
Without stopping, she continued to stride quickly towards the mountains ahead. The others, startled, hurriedly followed.
After taking just a few steps, the Big Black Cat realized that this Suibai was completely different from the previous one.
"Mu Qing, why is this Suibai a woman?" the Big Black Cat quietly transmitted to Mu Qing via voice message.
Mu Qing wasn't sure how to explain, so she recounted everything that had happened to the Big Black Cat.
Hermaphrodite? Or are they a husband and wife duo? The Big Black Cat smacked his lips, mulling over Mu Qing's words. He felt that Suibai was becoming increasingly shrouded in mystery.
"Big Brother, didn't the Sect Master ask you to find the Dragon Cave? You haven't forgotten, have you?" Cat Baby, who was beside him, suddenly sent a voice transmission as a reminder.
"Oh, right!" The Big Black Cat slapped his forehead and took out the yellowing Ancient Dragon Cave Map. He compared it with the surrounding terrain as they continued to move swiftly.
Despite the Big Black Cat's diligent efforts to compare the terrain, he still couldn't find any location that matched the Ancient Dragon Cave Map. However, he didn't lose heart; the Nether Immortal Ancient Land was vast, and he had only explored a small fraction of it.
After traveling for a while longer, they estimated they were now near the twenty-ninth Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
BOOM! BOOM!
A series of booming sounds echoed from the black fog ahead.
It seemed a fierce battle was taking place.
Suibai paused briefly, glanced in that direction, and then, after a moment, as if having received some confirmation, she continued towards the sounds of battle.
The group followed closely behind her.
They gradually approached the battlefield.
They saw countless enormous, red-furred monsters fiercely battling a group of about a hundred cultivators.
Not far from the battling factions, a small green Little Tree stood, its entire form suffused with a soft, verdant glow that added a touch of life to the eerie black fog.
On the branches of the Little Tree, there were three Divine Element Longevity Fruits.
Each Divine Element Longevity Fruit was much larger than those Luo Li had obtained previously.
"These Divine Element Longevity Fruits... they must be at least a thousand years old!" Mu Qing said in shock.
"No wonder the fight is so intense! Three Thousand-year Divine Yuan Longevity Fruits! That's three thousand years in total!" the Big Black Cat licked his lips, his voice filled with excitement.
"ROAR!" Suibai suddenly threw her head back and roared, unleashing a formidable aura.
The red-furred monsters and the cultivators from the powerful sect, all engaged in battle, instantly froze. An immense sense of terror washed over everyone in that moment.
Upon seeing Suibai, a look of dread filled the eyes of the red-furred monsters.
When the cultivators saw Suibai, dressed in female attire, their expressions turned to utter shock, as if they had suddenly recalled something significant.
Suibai ignored all this.
She strode forward with heavy steps, passing through the crowd as if no one else existed, and walked towards the small green Little Tree.
