When my cultivation is recovering, the sect comes to persuade me to quit? I agree!

Rong Xue'er and the other person were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their hands were shaking constantly.

Slowly withdrawing her hand from her ear, Rong Xueer then tightly grasped the corner of Lu Chen's clothes with her hand.

"Brother Lu! What was that noise just now? Is there a ghost?"

Lu Chen shook his head quickly.

Lu Chen agreed that there were wild beasts or monsters here, but it was absolutely impossible that there were ghosts in this place.

After thinking for a while, Lu Chen recalled the horrifying scream just now and spoke slowly.

"It should be the roar of a tiger."

The tiger is the king of beasts. Whether in terms of attack power, speed or defense, it is invincible among the monsters of the same level.

Based on the tiger roar just now, Rong Xueer spoke hurriedly.

"Brother Lu, if there really is a tiger beast ahead, it would be better for us not to provoke it."

There was an obvious expression of retreat on Rong Xueer's face.

That is a tiger. Different from ordinary wild beasts, it is the king of beasts!

If you really provoke those things, you may not be able to get out alive.

Besides, they haven't found the exit yet. If a fight really breaks out, they might not even have a direction to escape.

When she thought about the situation she might encounter, Rong Xueer couldn't help but look behind her.

Lu Chen knew Rong Xueer’s concerns.

But now that I have come this far and I have the heart of the mineral vein in my hand, it would be a shame to turn back because of a few roars.

Moreover, although he has obtained the heart of the mineral vein, he does not have enough spiritual energy. If he can collect more concentrated spiritual energy, his future cultivation will be much more effective.

Lu Chen said to Rong Xueer.

"Your Highness, it may be very dangerous ahead. No matter what, I have to go ahead to investigate the situation."

"In my opinion, you should stay. It's safer here."

Lu Chen was telling the truth. He was going to look for resources and there was no need to bring Rong Xueer with him.

After all, the situation ahead is unknown.

Rong Xueer quickly shook her head, immediately getting rid of the previous thought.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Xue'er was still thinking about backing out, but after hearing what Lu Chen said, Xue'er immediately changed her mind.

Rong Xueer admitted that she was afraid of the tiger demon, but she was more afraid of staying alone in such a haunted place.

"Brother Lu, please don't leave me alone, you should take me with you."

"It's dark here, and I don't feel safe."

"Even if there is danger, I will accept it!"

Lu Chen began to explain.

"If there really is a tiger demon ahead, you may face life and death if you stay with me. It is safer for you to stay here. If there is no tiger demon ahead, I will come back here to find you."

Rong Xueer's hands began to tremble with fear.

"Brother Lu, I'll go with you."

Looking at Rong Xueer's eager eyes, Lu Chen had no choice but to nod.

"Well, if there is any danger, don't hesitate, run back immediately and don't worry about me."

Rong Xueer knew that with her cultivation level at the initial stage of foundation building, she would be a burden if she encountered the tiger monster.

But right now, staying in such a place is even more of a torment.

Thinking that she might become a trouble for Lu Chen again, Rong Xueer's voice couldn't be any softer.

"I see."

After the discussion, Lu Chen continued to move forward.

The sound of the tiger's roar did not appear again, but the sound of the rolling stones became clearer and clearer.

As they gradually got closer, they finally arrived at the place where the sound came from.

This is another gathering place for cave entrances!

And the space here is larger than the previous gathering place.

In this gathering place, there are tens of thousands of pangolins, densely packed together!

Seeing this scene, Rong Xueer immediately got goose bumps.

"Oh my god, how come there are so many pangolins?"

While asking the question, Rong Xueer couldn't help but touch her arm, and even her little face changed color.

Lu Chen did not answer Rong Xueer's question, but watched these pangolins dig diamond holes at the entrances of various caves.

"The sound of stones colliding was made by them."

Rong Xueer slowly closed her eyes and nodded slowly.

"As long as this hole doesn't show signs of collapse, it's better than anything else."

Lu Chen stood at the entrance of the cave and did not come out. He just carefully observed the situation outside.

The spiritual energy in this space is more refined and dense, and there are several holes with light shining in. Although the holes are still dark, you can still see the situation inside clearly if you look carefully.

Lu Chen looked towards the center of the space, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn!

Unexpectedly, he saw a gigantic tiger monster!

If Lu Chen hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't even believe what he was seeing.

According to my own level of cultivation, I can definitely sense the presence of the tiger monster in advance!

But Lu Chen actually guessed the identity of the tiger demon based on speculation, and he didn't even feel it in advance.

On a smooth stone.

The fist-thick iron chain rattled as it locked the tiger demon's fist tightly.

Moreover, there is a protective formation around the tiger monster.

Wisps of pure spiritual energy expanded outward from the tiger demon's body.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly realized!

It turned out that what they felt was not spiritual ore or mineral crystals, but was actually emitted from this monster!

In this case, the tiger roar just now should also be his voice.

The tiger demon's body is larger than an elephant, with yellow hair and clearly visible black stripes.

At this moment, the tiger demon lay limp on the ground, as if he had fallen asleep.

Lu Chen held his breath and retreated back into the cave entrance, fearing that he would alarm the tiger monster.

Rong Xueer also saw this scene, and the two of them retreated together into the cave.

Only then did Lu Chen let out a sigh of relief.

"Did you see the tiger demon just now?"!

Rong Xueer nodded.

"I see. From the spiritual energy emanating from him, we can tell that this is a celestial spirit beast that has reached the celestial spirit level. It is not someone you and I can mess with."

Heavenly beast!

This is one level higher than high-level spirit beasts!

There were several King Kong Spiritual Monkeys outside the cave. They were ordinary spiritual beasts. Even if they were ordinary spiritual beasts, they almost lost their lives. If they were discovered by this heavenly spiritual beast, they would be dead.

Lu Chen spoke.

"I have observed it just now. There is light in here. Maybe there is a hole to get out."

Rong Xueer suddenly panicked and quickly spoke up to stop him.

"No! This place is too dangerous. If we are discovered by that Heavenly Spirit Tiger Demon, there will be no way for you and I to escape!"

Of course Lu Chen knew the danger, but all signs indicated that only here could he find the right way out.

"I think if we entered from other cave entrances just now, we would also arrive here. This is the gathering place of the cave entrances."

Rong Xueer suddenly remembered something and asked.

"What's strange is, why is there a celestial beast here? Moreover, the tiger demon seems to be trapped."

Lu Chen recalled the scene just now.

"That tiger demon is not only controlled by iron chains, but there is also a large imprisonment formation around him. The level of the formation is very high."

Lu Chen also knew about formations, and he could tell at a glance that there were intricate formation patterns on it. Although he couldn't tell what level the formation was, it was not difficult to recognize the solidity of this formation from those intricate patterns.

Rong Xueer felt strange.

"What's going on? Who has such great power to trap him here?"

There was a hint of relief in Lu Chen's voice.

"No matter who it is, this is beneficial to us. As long as the Heavenly Spirit Tiger Demon cannot break out of the cage, it will not pose a threat to us."

Rong Xueer's brows were still furrowed.

"Don't be careless. Even if the Sky Spirit Beast is trapped, it can still take our lives if it wants."

Lu Chen had never encountered a celestial spirit beast before.

There are only some rumors about the celestial beast.

As for whether it is true or false, they cannot judge.

After thinking for a while, Lu Chen's eyes became more determined.

"We have no other choice but to go here. I've already sensed that there must be a hole to escape from. Instead of wandering around here, we might as well take a risk and give it a try."

Rong Xueer was still a little scared, but she also knew that if she was trapped in this cave, she would die sooner or later.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt an urge to go all out.

"Well, as long as we observe the situation carefully and don't alarm the tiger demon, we should be safe."

Lu Chen spoke.

"You stay here first, I will go and observe the situation."

This time, there was no objection from Rong Xueer. He nodded and stayed where he was.

Lu Chen put the torch back, then walked slowly towards the cave entrance with light steps.

He came to the cave entrance again, and the situation inside was the same as what he had just seen. The pangolins were digging holes in the mountain, but pangolins were relatively gentle in temperament and would not actively attack.

Lu Chen took out the heart of the mineral vein. The spiritual power here was very rich. If he could collect all this spiritual power together, it would be of great help to him in the future.

When it comes to things in front of you, don’t miss them.

Lu Chen calmly used the Heart of the Mineral Vein to collect the spiritual energy in front of him.

At the beginning, Lu Chen injected spiritual power into the heart of the vein, and the heart of the vein gradually emitted a faint glow.

Lu Chen stared at the heart of the mineral vein motionlessly.

Although there was a lingering glow, it was a bit slow in condensing the spiritual energy, which was very different from Lu Chen's imagination.

But on second thought, Lu Chen felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

After all, if they make too much noise, it might alarm the pangolins. If the tiger demon is awakened, it might cause them great trouble.

After about an incense stick of time, Lu Chen found that there was nothing unusual around him.

The pangolins continued their previous actions.

The tiger demon is still sleeping.

Seeing this, Lu Chen made a bold move!

Without hesitation, he accelerated the collection of the core of the mineral vein!

At first, he only collected the spiritual energy from the entrance of their cave, but later, he actually gathered all the spiritual energy around!

In the end, Lu Chen plucked up his courage and actually used all his strength to push the heart of the mineral vein, frantically hunting for the spiritual energy in this space.

Gradually, the spiritual connection in the huge cave became weaker.

The sudden change made the pangolins restless.

The tiger demon was lying on the ground motionless. He also sensed the movement, but he opened one eye and spread his spiritual awareness to investigate the situation in the cave.

Soon, he discovered Lu Chen's presence.

The tiger demon opened his eyes and stood up!

There was a sound of iron chains clanging, and Lu Chen's eyes immediately became alert.

Lu Chen hurriedly turned sideways into the cave.

At this time, the tiger demon looked in the direction of Lu Chen.

"Human, why are you here?"

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly took two steps back.

I didn't expect that my whereabouts would be exposed so quickly!

Since he had been sensed by the other party, he took courage and stepped out of the cave.

"Senior, I just came here by mistake while trying to avoid the King Kong Ape. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

The tiger demon's eyes glowed with golden light and he narrowed them into slits as he looked at Lu Chen.
