Chapter 463 Earth Center Tower

"It collapsed! The mine cave collapsed..."

"Oh my god... How could this mine cave collapse?"

"It's too dangerous. If we were inside, wouldn't we all be crushed and turned into meat paste?"

The other miners were stunned when they saw this.

"What's going on?"

At this time, Elder Li Yuan also came over and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

"I don't know why it suddenly happened."

Gu Sheng was secretly surprised.

Elder Li Yuan frowned and then summoned his divine power.

After a while, he felt that this energy fluctuation contained a different kind of violence.

"This..."

Elder Li Yuan looked serious and felt that this was definitely not an ordinary beast.

"Huh..."

He took a deep breath, and the divine power in his body surged like a tide again.

Suddenly, Elder Li Yuan's pupils shrank sharply, and he felt that there was a force attacking him.

And behind him were Gu Sheng and other miners!

"Everyone step back, I'll deal with it!"

Elder Li Yuan shouted loudly.

The miners retreated after hearing what Elder Li Yuan said.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"Everyone, hurry up! There are monsters!"

They knew Elder Li Yuan's strength and believed that he could protect them.

Although Gu Sheng was horrified, he did not retreat.

He stood aside, ready to support at any time.

"Xiao Sheng, you go too!"

Elder Li Yuan scolded.

"Elder, I will stay to help!"

Gu Sheng replied.

"No! We may be facing underground monsters from the North Territory. If you stay, you will only add to the burden! Go! See if you can find other cultivators from the Yaoguang Holy Land and let them help!"

Elder Li Yuan ordered.

Gu Sheng wanted to tell Elder Li Yuan that he had some divine power.

But if he told him, he would expose his identity.

After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Sheng still agreed: "Yes! Elder, be careful!"

After speaking, Gu Sheng turned his head and walked to the side.

Then, Elder Li Yuan walked forward slowly.

As he walked forward, he could feel the energy fluctuations becoming stronger and stronger, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

"Shua!"

He suddenly waved his hand, and a beam of divine power turned into a beam of light and rushed straight to the ground.

"Boom!"

There was a sudden explosion.

The solid ground cracked instantly, and a huge dark black python emerged from the ground.

The python's head was huge, almost as big as a bucket.

Its eyes were red, emitting a frightening light.

The appearance of the python made the already panicked miners even more panicked.

They hid in the distance and fled again, screaming one after another.

Elder Li Yuan was not afraid at all, and encouraged the divine power to surge in his body.

"Chi Chi Chi!"

The divine power formed a halo of divine power around his body.

He knew that if he couldn't deal with this python, these mining areas would become no-man's land!

Or become a forbidden area in the North Territory!

"Gah!"

Suddenly, the python let out a deafening roar.

Its huge body swung violently, and a gust of wind followed.

"Hua La La!"

The surrounding rocks and dust were rolled up, forming a huge whirlwind.

The whirlwind, mixed with rocks and dust, flew towards Elder Li Yuan.

Elder Li Yuan stood in place and did not dodge, but mobilized his divine power and remained calm.

Soon, Elder Li Yuan was in the center of the vortex.

His body seemed to be integrated with the world, and his divine power fought against the gust of wind.

Fortunately, Elder Li Yuan was the supreme elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land, and his strength was not to be underestimated.

"A small whirlwind, what can it do to me?"

Elder Li Yuan's eyes flashed with disdain.

This python seemed to be psychic.

When he saw Elder Li Yuan's posture, he was stunned at first, and then he started again.

This time, its huge tail swept violently, with a sound of breaking through the air, and hit Elder Li Yuan directly.

"Swoosh!"

Elder Li Yuan flashed and easily dodged the attack.

Then, Elder Li Yuan formed seals with his hands, and divine powers with golden light flowed out from his hands.

These divine powers formed beams of light, interweaving in the air, forming a huge light net that enveloped the python.

The python felt the powerful force contained in the light net, and it began to struggle desperately, trying to escape.

"Gah..."

Bursts of roars came.

"Hum!"

Elder Li Yuan snorted coldly and clasped his hands suddenly.

In an instant, the light net suddenly contracted and tightly bound the python.

The python let out another painful roar...

Its body was tightened more and more by the light net, almost being strangled.

Some of them had been strangled to bleed.

At this moment, a perverted force burst out from the python's body from nowhere.

It twisted its body violently, and when it almost reached the point where it could not twist any more, a cracking sound was heard.

"Boom!"

Elder Li Yuan looked closely and saw that the python actually stretched out the light net.

"I... go!"

Elder Li Yuan was shocked when he saw this.

He knew that this python had some background.

"Chichichi!"

Soon, the body of the python suddenly became transparent, as if it could blend into the surrounding environment.

Elder Li Yuan saw this and quickly closed his eyes.

Then, his consciousness began to spread like an air wave, trying to catch the python's trail.

Soon, he felt the python's energy fluctuations.

Elder Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hands, and a beam of divine power hit that direction.

"Crack!"

A thunder-like sound came from the direction of the hit.

Then, the python's figure appeared again.

At this time, its body was hit by the divine power beam, and it let out a painful roar.

Elder Li Yuan did not give it a chance to breathe, he flashed and flew above the python.

In essence, Elder Li Yuan's body drew a dazzling stream of light in the air.

"Shua!"

His speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch it with the naked eye.

At that moment, his figure was like a flash of lightning, directly penetrating the python's head.

"Boom!"

The python's head exploded at this moment.

The whole scene was bloody and horrible.

However, even after being hit by a fatal blow, the python's body was still wriggling under the drive of instinct.

Its huge body moved towards the cave, as if it wanted to return to its original nest.

However, its life fire had been extinguished, and after moving a few times, its body finally stopped moving.

Elder Li Yuan slowly landed on the ground, his face a little pale.

Obviously, the battle just now consumed a lot of his divine power.

"The elder won! The elder won!"

"Elder Li is so powerful!"

"The python was finally killed. We can survive again without any danger..."

The miners were relieved to see that the python was finally defeated.

They gathered around and expressed their respect and gratitude to Elder Li Yuan.

Gu Sheng also came over and sincerely praised: "Elder Li Yuan, it's really thanks to you."

Elder Li Yuan smiled slightly and waved his hand, indicating that everyone didn't need to be too nervous.

"Don't be afraid, this monster has been defeated by me."

Elder Li Yuan said reluctantly.

When the miners heard what Elder Li Yuan said, the fear in their hearts gradually dissipated.

Gu Sheng, who was standing aside, could see that Elder Li Yuan seemed to be extremely tired.

"Elder... are you... are you okay?"

Gu Sheng stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Huh..."

Elder Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief, "Not bad..."

But after he finished speaking, Elder Li Yuan suddenly coughed a few times.

It seemed that he had suffered a lot of internal injuries when fighting with the python just now.

"Xiao Sheng, let everyone go back and rest today, and the other mining areas should also rest."

Elder Li Yuan ordered.

Gu Sheng did not hesitate and directly agreed: "Yes!"

Then, Gu Sheng informed the other miners of the news.

Soon, all the miners in the scene went back to rest, leaving only Gu Sheng, Tu Fei and Lao Litou next to Elder Li Yuan.

Elder Li Yuan saw that they were not outsiders, turned his head and looked at the body of the python and said: "This python is not small, I plan to go underground to see, who will follow me?"

"Me!"

"I'll go!"

Gu Sheng and Tu Fei said in unison.

Only Old Li stood aside without any reaction.

"Xiao Sheng, you come with me, Tu Fei, you and Old Li wait here, remember, don't let other miners in, especially you, don't act without authorization!"

Elder Li Yuan ordered.

"Uh..."

Tu Fei was speechless, but after hearing Elder Li Yuan's order, he still agreed: "Yes! Got it."

Elder Li Yuan nodded.

In his opinion, Gu Sheng is young and powerful.

Especially quick to react, he is a trustworthy partner.

"Okay, let's go."

Elder Li Yuan said, and took the lead to walk into the mine entrance that collapsed because of the python rushing out.

Gu Sheng followed closely behind, and the figures of the two quickly disappeared in the dark mine.

The passage inside the mine cave became a little narrow because of the previous battle.

The gravel and dust in front of them piled up on the ground, making it a little difficult to walk.

"Hoo, ho, ho..."

After walking for a distance, Gu Sheng felt a cold wind blowing.

This little wind made him shiver involuntarily.

"Why does it feel so chilly?"

Gu Sheng couldn't help asking.

"Well, I feel it too, which means there must be space in front."

Elder Li Yuan nodded.

"Space?"

Gu Sheng was stunned, "Is there still space underground?"

"Yes."

Elder Li Yuan replied without looking back.

Then, both of them quickened their pace and moved in the direction of the wind.

Soon, a huge underground space appeared in front of them.

"This... this space is too big, right?"

Gu Sheng was stunned when he saw this.

He had never thought that such a huge space was hidden under this land.

What surprised him even more was that in the center of this space, there was an ancient tower!

The ancient tower towered into the sky, and the tower body emitted a faint blue light, as if it was the center of this underground world.

Gu Sheng turned his head and looked at Elder Li Yuan, his eyes full of confusion.

"Elder, where is this place? What is that tower?"

Gu Sheng asked.

Elder Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a complicated look.

"Huh..."

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "This tower, called the Earth Core Tower, is the source of power for the Northern Territory. Its existence maintains the balance and stability of the entire Northern Territory."

"Ah?"

Gu Sheng's eyes showed shock.

He didn't expect that he would have the honor to see the mysterious source of the Northern Territory.

"Then what should we do next?"

Gu Sheng asked.

Elder Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's check around first to see if there are other abnormalities here. The existence of the Earth Core Tower is extraordinary. We must be careful."

"Yeah."

Gu Sheng nodded and followed behind Elder Li Yuan.

Gu Sheng's eyes lingered at the entrance of the passage, and he could feel the chill coming from there, as if something was warning them not to get close.

"Elder, are we really going in?"

Gu Sheng's voice was uncertain.

"Huh..."

Elder Li Yuan took a deep breath, "We must go in. The secret of the Earth Core Tower is of vital importance to us."

"Uh..."

Gu Sheng was really speechless.

This gloomy and terrifying place, you still have to go in, isn't that courting death?

But then again, if there is really something good in the Earth Core Tower, I can take advantage of it.

Maybe it can be of great help to my practice.

In this way, the two slowly walked into the passage.

They were cautious with every step, fearing that they would trigger some unknown mechanism.

The interior of the passage was dark and damp, the walls were covered with moss, and the air was filled with a musty smell.

"Da Da Da..."

Some water drops were heard very clearly.

Especially their footsteps, which echoed very clearly in the passage.

Just when they walked about a hundred meters, Gu Sheng suddenly stopped.

He pointed to the wall in front and said in surprise: "Elder, look there!"

Elder Li Yuan looked in the direction pointed by Gu Sheng.

I saw a hidden mechanism on the wall, which seemed to be a passage leading to the Earth Core Tower.

He hesitated for a moment and decided to walk forward.

But just as Elder Li Yuan took a step forward, a blue-purple flame suddenly gushed out of the passage, rushing towards him like a fire snake.

"Chi chi chi!"

Elder Li Yuan hurriedly used his divine power to try to resist this sudden attack.

However, this blue-purple flame seemed to have some strange power. It ignored Elder Li Yuan's divine power defense and directly sank into his body.

"Not good!"

Elder Li Yuan immediately felt that the situation was not good.

At that moment, his face turned pale and the divine power in his body began to become disordered.

Then, he immediately took Gu Sheng back to the safe area in the passage.

He sat cross-legged and immediately mobilized his divine power to force the blue-purple flame out of his body.

"Xiao Sheng, protect the law!"

Elder Li Yuan ordered.

"Yes!"

Gu Sheng responded and stood beside Elder Li Yuan, alert to the surrounding situation.

After finding no abnormal situation, Gu Sheng looked at Elder Li Yuan.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat.

At the same time, his body was shaking uncontrollably.

"Elder, are you okay?"

Gu Sheng asked softly.

He knew that the attack of the blue-purple flame was very serious. If it was not handled in time, it might cause irreversible damage to the Life Spring. (End of this chapter)
