Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 528: Chapter 28 Harvest! And Wang Family Traditions (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

Unfortunately for it, humans were its adversary.

The Wang family and the head of household, were familiar with the typical fierce beasts. Under the Leather Shield Wall, all the flaming poisonous attacks were blocked. Simultaneously, more intense arrow rain was directed towards the beast.

“Thud, thud, thud!”

The arrows imbued with Mysterious Energy, fiercely penetrated the Red-scaled Horned Python’s body.

After multiple rounds of this.

The Red-scaled Horned Python’s injuries kept on worsening. Instinctively feeling fear, it turned around and slithered away quickly. Within a few moments, it disappeared into the craggy rocks.

… “After it, don’t let it get away.” Wang Shouming said excitedly. If they went hunting with their elders, the Family Contribution Points they would receive in the end would be very low.

However, if these juniors split the value of a Level Three fierce beast amounting to thousands, it would be a considerable gain.

Therefore, everybody including the head of household, was very excited.

Tracking it, they found the terrain hotter and more rugged, the ground increasingly displaying a red hue, with fewer and fewer signs of it being found.

But no one gave up. Even if it took several days, they had to get it out of its hiding place. The Red-scaled Horned Python couldn’t just disappear for no reason; it must have returned to its den, which was surely nearby.

After everyone searched for several hours.

“Auntie Jiugugu, look at this.”

Suddenly, Wang Lillian found a smear of blood mixed with viscous fluid in a crevice and promptly called over Wang Luoqing to see it.

The Red-scaled Horned Python was seriously injured and though it instinctively covered up some traces, it could not completely hide its tracks.

“Indeed, it’s the blood trail of a Level Three Red-scaled Horned Python.”

Upon Wang Luoqing’s confirmation, she hastily called over Wang Shouming, Wang Zongyao, and all the heads of household.

The blood trace was discovered in a crack in the rock. The location of the crack was unusual, appearing to go inwards and downwards, and yet it was blocked by a slanted rock. The Red-scaled Horned Python could crawl in, but it would pose some problems for a person.

Of course, it was not impossible, but they would have to crawl.

“That’s clever, no wonder we could not trace it earlier. It simply found a great hiding place. Who could’ve found it?” Wang Shouming exclaimed, then looked at Wang Luoqing, “Sister, send your earth puppet in to check~”

“Mm.”

Wang Luoqing nodded, took out the “Earth Spirit Bead” she had picked up, and once again condensed a mini version of the Earth Puppet. She directed the puppet to crawl into the rock crevice.

Seeing her reluctant to speak, Wang Zongming couldn’t hold back and hurriedly asked, “Sister, what’s the situation down there?”

“Brother, there’s an underground cave. Not far from here is the Terrestrial Fire Flame Cave. The traces of the Level Three Red-scaled Horned Python go down through the Magma Passage.” Wang Luoqing came back to her senses and replied with a hint of surprise on her face.

“Magma Cave?”

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes brightened.

They had previously deduced this was a fire domain area, but actually pinning down the exact location of the ground fire was not easy.

You need to know, the terrain of the Remnant of Six Flat Mountain is quite complex, with various Poisonous Pools and Ice Caves. Although the Fire Domain does not hold as much value as the Fire Spirit Vein.

However, if the location of the ground fire is suitable, it could have some special uses, such as high-level alchemy and artifact refining, which can be best done through ground fire and can exceed the temperatures of ordinary Alchemy Furnace.

Furthermore, in an unexplored ground fire environment, there might be a chance of finding some Heaven and Earth Treasure. If good stuff is found, that would mean a large number of Family Contribution Points.

Although everyone was excited at heart.

The caution and carefulness distinctive to the Wang family was brought to full play. Everyone suppressed their excitement and having pried open the crevice, navigated carefully, with the mini earth puppet leading the way.

They adjusted the team formation according to the terrain of the magma cave, preferring a slower pace and taking no risk. Of course, they were not naturally like this but have been scolded into being so by their elders.

It took them half a day.

The group had only gone about a hundred feet down. The surroundings were getting hotter. In some rock crevices, one could faintly see the scorching magma. Fortunately, all of them were Profound Martial cultivators and were much more heat resistant than ordinary people. They could still hold out under extreme heat.

Suddenly, after prying open a narrow crevice, their surroundings brightened suddenly.

They had entered a more open space.

Several “Magma Streams” converged towards the center, forming a “Magma Pond”. The magma gently rolled, making bubbling sounds.

The long sought after Red-scaled Horned Python, was already curled up in a corner, its color almost blending seamlessly with the environment. As soon as it saw the group, it became startled and angry, raising its head and hissing, warning them to back off.

Ordinarily, this Red-scaled Horned Python worth thousands of Qian Gold, would have attracted all their attention.

However, Wang Shouming and his team merely glanced at the Red-scaled Horned Python before shifting their attention elsewhere. All due to the “Magma Pond” where a fire element light was constantly surging.

Some precious fire element medicine grew wildly around the pond, thoroughly stunning to the onlookers and leaving them breathless.

The only phrase that floated through everyone’s mind was, “We’re rich!”

Not only was there ground fire here, there was also a natural Fire Spirit Vein, and numerous spirit medicines were growing along it.

“Brother, this open magma cave space, and the ‘magma pond’ don’t seem to be natural.” The more observant Wang Luoqing looked around and said, “Everyone take a look, the cliff here clearly has signs of being excavated. Those magma streams seem to have been purposely dug out and directed here.”
