Roar—
The Mining Beast suddenly turned its head, its senses capturing the scent of two "little bugs" behind it. The hundred-meter-long body lunged like a giant python, bringing with it the rumble of shattering rock layers.
In the instant its massive mouth opened, a dark golden metallic storm poured down like a waterfall, grinding the rocks and cave walls to dust wherever it swept past.
Qin Tian grabbed Allen by the back of his collar and abruptly surged forward.
He could easily tear through the void and escape at this moment, but as he watched the Mining Beast chase after Allen earlier, a bold idea took shape in his mind—perhaps he could try that…
His speed far exceeded Allen's, his steps moving smoothly through the rough mining tunnel as if it were flat ground.
The pathway ahead was blocked by collapsed rock layers. Qin Tian's fingertips raised a surge of sand, and the sand controlled by [Sandstorm Control] slashed through the rock wall like a blade, instantly clearing a path.
When a giant rock fell from above, he sidestepped to avoid it. A vine flicked from his sleeve, snaring the rock, using the momentum to swing himself to a higher position.
Compared to Allen's earlier tightrope-like escape, his movements were handled with ease, as if performing an elegant hunting dance with the Mining Beast.
"Roar!!!"
The Mining Beast was utterly enraged, letting out a deafening roar as its speed surged tremendously.
It no longer cared about the terrain, its massive body crashing directly through the rock walls. The tunnels collapsed like paper wherever it passed, with debris and metal fragments flying everywhere, making the chase several times more intense than before when it was pursuing Allen.
A glimmer of light flashed in Qin Tian's eyes—the time had come.
At a fork in the tunnels, he suddenly spun and dashed into what seemed to be a narrow mine shaft on the right.
The Mining Beast followed closely, its massive head forcefully squeezing through the entrance, causing the ground to tremble when its forepaws landed.
But just as half of its body squeezed into the shaft, a vast silver light screen appeared ahead—it was a Gate of Space large enough to accommodate its entire body, with unfathomable darkness behind the door.
The Mining Beast's momentum was too great to stop, and the front half of its body crashed directly into the Gate of Space.
"Now's the time!"
Qin Tian and Allen appeared instantly behind the Mining Beast, and he thrust his palms forward, channeling all his Spiritual Power into the Gate of Space without reservation.
"Get in—"
The Power of Void surged like a tide, forcibly pushing the remaining half of the Mining Beast's body into the light screen.
Amidst the Mining Beast's furious roar, the enormous Gate of Space shrank quickly, closing and finally transforming into a streak of silver light that vanished into the air.
"Whew…" Allen looked at the now-empty mine shaft, dazed for a long moment. "Brother Qin Tian, where did you send it?"
Qin Tian exhaled with a smile, "Random teleportation, at least two hundred kilometers away. It won't be coming back anytime soon."
No matter how strong the Mining Beast was, being suddenly thrown into a new environment, it would take a considerable amount of time to adapt to the new terrain, let alone find its way back here.
"Let's go check out that Spiritual Spring."
Qin Tian grabbed Allen, and in a flash of silver light, they appeared in a cave behind the cliffs.
The sight before them made Allen gasp—
It was a vast, irregular circular Spiritual Spring, with an area spanning over a thousand square meters. Milky white Spiritual Qi rolled within the spring, so dense it almost turned into liquid.
Standing by the spring, one could distinctly feel the tingling sensation of the Spiritual Qi entering through the pores, with the Spiritual Energy inside bouncing joyously. Spiritual Power entered the spring, reaching a dozen meters deep to touch the bottom, with every inch of its waters flowing with extremely pure Spiritual Qi.
This was undoubtedly one of the most premium quality Spiritual Springs found on Hundred Springs Star!
"Those who see it should partake." Qin Tian grinned. "For the next few days, you, I, and a few others will cultivate here."
There was no way he could consume such a large Spiritual Spring all by himself.
Moreover, without Allen, the Mining Beast wouldn't have broken through that thick wall, and this Spiritual Spring wouldn't have been discovered.
As the saying goes, joy is better shared, so let's allow everyone to enjoy the benefit of the Spiritual Spring.
He could foresee that Tier Five was already beckoning to him.
...
Hundred Springs Star, 27th Military Base.
Whirr—
A silver-grey airship pierced through the clouds, slowly descending onto the helipad.
The hatch opened, and a middle-aged man in a cyan brocade robe was the first to step out, with dark golden cloud patterns embroidered on the hem. His every step exuded an aura as gentle and polished as jade.
Beside him was an elderly man with a head full of silver hair, whose deep ocean-like gaze carried an oppressive presence, though he stood in an unremarkable posture that dared not be looked directly at.
"Mr. Dongfang Yao, Mr. Fu." Luo Sen briskly approached them, a warm smile on his face, and extended his hand in greeting.
Dongfang Yao clasped his hand, his fingertips cool to the touch, his tone gentle, "Commander Luo, sorry for the delay. Earlier, on our way here, a Tier Seven Spirit Beast suddenly appeared below. I thought it might be the tricks of the Blood Demon Cult, so I went down to take a look, which delayed us a bit."
"A Tier Seven Spirit Beast?" Luo Sen's brows furrowed abruptly, his body leaning slightly forward. "That Spirit Beast…"
"It's already been dealt with." Dongfang Yao smiled faintly, his tone casual, as if he had merely crushed an ant.
"Upon further investigation, it turned out to be a local Mining Beast, likely agitated by the energy fluctuations from the airship, just an accident."
A tremor ran through Luo Sen's heart.
Listening to him, it was clear that the Tier Seven Mining Beast had long been vanquished.
Being able to handle a Tier Seven Mining Beast in such a short time, the strength of the Dongfang Clan's direct descendants was indeed unfathomable.
"Mr. Dongfang Yao, the Blood Demon has been brought here," Luo Sen collected himself and got straight to the point.
Dongfang Yao nodded, "Good, thank you, Commander Luo."
Luo Sen immediately gestured for a squad of heavily armed soldiers to escort a figure forward.
