Even though Yun Feng had the feeling that she was being followed along the way, she didn’t find anything after many investigations. In the end, the two of them simply kept traveling and didn’t care about the people who might be chasing them anymore. In private, Yun Feng had already contacted the Hall Master of the Bright Moon Hall and asked him where the Thousand Mysteries
Mountain Range was in detail. Yun Feng didn’t expect anything from the Ancestral Forest Hall or the Thousand Snow Hall. She could only get some information from the Hall Master of the Bright Moon Hall, both good and bad. According to the Hall Master, this place was an ancient name from a long time ago. Now, this place no longer existed, but had completely evolved into another terrain. This terrain wasn’t in the Bright Moon Hall, but in the current Ancestral Forest Hall.
The Ancestral Forest Hall was an area that Yun Feng had never wanted to step into. Previously, the Yun family of the West Continent was here and was also suppressed. The Ancestral Forest Hall had always been a place of discord, whether it was in the past or now. This time, the riot in the East and West Alliance also happened because of this. The composition of the Ancestral Forest Hall was very complicated. To be exact, there were very few native residents. Many of them were people who had stayed here for a short time and had no roots. Even if they started a conflict, they just had to leave. Nobody would do anything to them.
The Ancestral Forest Hall was the area where strength was respected the most. Even though there were also families, most of them were divided according to strength. Naturally, there were good and bad among the strong. Strength was just a simple standard and didn’t represent anything else, such as human nature.
The most popular place in the Ancestral Forest Hall right now was the Crystal Plains. Just like the Shiny Plains of the Fengyun Empire, this was the place where most mineral veins were gathered. Unlike the Shiny Plains, there was no control here. The competition for the mineral veins was going on every day. There were also mercenaries in the Ancestral Forest Hall, but most of them were scattered. There was no such system as the Mercenary Union on the West Continent. Once the war began, there would only be a huge battle that would end with bloodshed.
When Yun Feng was on the West Continent earlier, she didn’t explore the Crystal Plains at all. With the situation of the Ancestral Forest Hall, she could imagine what the Crystal Plains was like. Even the East and West Alliance couldn’t occupy these local resources. After all, these were resources that belonged to the Ancestral Forest Hall. Without the East and West Alliance, this area would definitely be very chaotic.
It didn’t take Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi long to arrive here. The Crystal Plains was endlessly flat and open. There was a layer of brown soil on the ground with bustling vegetation. The energy fluctuation of the ores was very obvious. There were a lot of mineral veins buried here. As for whether there were ultimate mineral veins or not, it depended on luck.
The two of them stood in the sky above the Crystal Plains and could see the situation below clearly. There were dozens of tents of all sizes on the Crystal Plains. They were not orderly at all. In their vision, a few battles were still going on.
“It’s indeed an area of conflict. There’s no system here and the competition for mineral veins is unimaginably fierce.” Qu Lanyi frowned slightly. “I hope the lightning seed we’re looking for isn’t in a mineral vein somewhere.”
Yun Feng looked around. “This used to be the mountain range, but it’s now a plain. The Lightning Seed is most likely buried very deep in the ground. It’s not impossible for it to be entangled with the mineral vein.”
“So, we’re going underground?” Qu Lanyi raised his brows. Yun Feng nodded. Even though the earth element could help her and Lanyi sink easily, she was going to find the Lightning Seed this time and take it away. The sinking of the earth element was just superficial. If she wanted to take away the Lightning Seed, she had to stay underground and investigate along the wav!
“Find a hidden place. As long as we go underground, we’ll have less trouble.” Yun Feng looked around. The two of them directly ran to an empty corner, which was very far away from those camps.
Yun Feng looked around. After confirming that it was safe, she took out the little thing that hadn’t shown up for a long time, the Ultimate Crystal Beast. Once the little thing came out, it yawned lazily and looked at Yun Feng with its big eyes. Its smooth head rubbed against Yun Feng’s hand directly. Suddenly, it burped and an ultimate ore fell on the ground. Yun Feng smiled helplessly and touched its unusually smooth head with her hand. A faint coldness entered her palm.
“I asked you to come out and do me a favor,” said Yun Feng. The Crystal Beast blinked its big eyes. Yun Feng pointed at the ground. “Open a path for me until I find what I want.”
The Ultimate Crystal Beast was a bit unwilling. Ever since it came to Yun Feng, it had been staying in the space every day except spitting out ores. It wasn’t easy for it to come out, but it had to do all this digging. The Crystal Beast tilted its head unhappily with a reluctant look. Qu Lanyi chuckled. “This little thing is throwing a tantrum too?”
Yun Feng looked at the Crystal Beast’s uncooperative attitude and the corners of her mouth curled up. “You don’t want to? Or… do you prefer to stay with Na Xie?”
The Crystal Beast immediately shivered and jumped away from Yun Feng’s hand, going straight to the ground. In a few seconds, a huge hole had already been dug out of its little body and kept extending to the ground. Yun Feng chuckled and jumped in with Qu Lanyi. After they jumped in, they covered the ground they dug again. The ground returned to its original appearance, except… for the ultimate ore that fell out.
“How unlucky. We’ve been here for half a year and we haven’t even got the mineral vein of the lowest level.” Two figures slowly walked over from afar. They were two men who looked extremely messy. There were injuries on their bodies and faces. It seemed that they often fought with people.
“There’s nothing we can do. With our strength, we won’t be able to get the lowest mineral vein. We can only wait for an opportunity. A huge pie will fall from the sky and hit us.”
“Hahaha, you’re right. It’s best if it smashes us until we see stars!”
After laughing, the two of them looked at each other and sighed helplessly. “How can a pie fall from the sky…”
One of them glanced at the ground in the distance and suddenly saw something emitting bright light. He immediately pushed his companion with his hand. “Hey, hey! Look at that. What’s that?”
His companion raised his head and saw something glittering on the ground in the distance. The two of them immediately ran over.. When they saw what was on the ground clearly, the two of them had a feeling that a pie had indeed fallen from the sky, a huge pie!
