He had been gone for a long time. Although Dugu Yifeng appeared calm on the surface, his heart was still in turmoil.

"Be careful!" Ling Wuchen shouted in fear. Suddenly, the sound of a sword being drawn echoed around him.

While they were subconsciously observing their surroundings, Dugu Yifeng suddenly changed his footwork and shot out a sword force.

A bloody light flashed, and several pieces of flesh fell to the ground.

"It's a Silver Striped Snake!"

"Silver Striped Snake!" When they heard the commotion, everyone immediately reacted. Immediately, some people recognized this Silver Striped Snake.

Dugu Yifeng glanced at the Silver Striped Snake on the ground and did not pay any more attention to it. Instead, he looked around. Under Ling Jianjue and Ling Wuchen's lead, the guards were inspecting the surroundings to see if there were any Silver Striped Snakes hiding and preparing to ambush them.

Dugu Yifeng nodded to himself in his heart. The two of them were very vigilant. Alright, big brother Wu Chen, big brother Jian Jue, there's no need to investigate anymore. Dugu Yifeng called out to the two of them.

He scanned his surroundings with his consciousness. Naturally, there was nothing that could escape his notice. As for the Silver Striped Snake, he had purposely pretended not to know about it. As for the reason, Dugu Yifeng once again turned his head to look at the guards that were still surrounding the Silver Striped Snake.

After being frightened by the Silver Striped Snake's sneak attack, the guards immediately became more alert. Each of them had their right hands on their swords, ready to unsheathe at any moment.

He sighed in his heart, "This time I look like a guard, but compared to the mercenaries in my previous life who are constantly gliding along the edge of death, I still can't compare!"

These guards had been in charge of watching the house all year round. Naturally, there wouldn't be any problems for them at all. However, to participate in a fight to the death like this, it was still far from enough. This point was not only reflected in their battle prowess, but also in their inexperience. On the other hand, Ling Jianjue and Ling Wuchen, whose statuses were much higher than theirs, were still able to cope with the hardships they faced.

Ling Jian Jue and Ling Wu Chen might have heard Dugu Yifeng's words, but they had to be cautious and continued to investigate for a while before finally giving up.

The two of them arrived in front of Dugu Feng. "Yifeng, the Silver Striped Snake has appeared here. What do you think?" Ling Wuchen stared at Dugu Yifeng.

"Indeed, it is abnormal for these few Silver Striped Snakes to appear alone. Silver Striped Snake is a mutated form of the unconventional beast, the Iron Striped Snake. Usually, a large number of Iron Striped Snakes would appear where the Silver Striped Snake appeared, but there was no trace of the Iron Striped Snake at all just now! " Ling Jianxue asked doubtfully.

Dugu Yifeng listened quietly. He too had doubts in his heart, but he could not come up with an answer no matter how much he thought about it. "However, since I can't figure it out, there's no use in thinking about it." "Alright, let's not think too much about it. They are not a threat to us yet." he said with a smile

Indeed! Ling Wuchen and Ling Jianjue nodded quietly.

The Iron Thread Snakes were only mediocre beasts. The Silver Thread Snakes were rare beasts that had only recently entered the market. Unless there were a large number of them, these beasts would not be able to cause any harm to them.

Even if such a large number of strange beasts appeared, it would not be an easy task to harm them. Ling Jianjue and Ling Wuchen had confidence in themselves. As Pre-Sky Realm martial artists, they might not be able to deal with the large number of beasts that attacked them. However, with their feet 'strength, it was not difficult for them to escape.

Although the Silver Striped Snake was also a strange beast, it was not as strong as the Thousand Legged Golden Scorpion. It was not less famous among the ordinary martial artists than the Thousand Legged Green Scorpion.

Although the appearance of the Silver Striped Snake had raised the guards' vigilance, Ling Jianjue, Ling Wuchen, and Dugu Yifeng were not too worried.

Iron Thread Snakes, Silver Thread Snakes, these were all things they could deal with. Unless there were Gold Thread Snakes here, these snakes were not enough to scare them. A Golden-Striped Snake appeared? The probability of that happening wasn't any less than a meteorite falling from the sky.

Carefully, Dugu Yifeng and the others finally arrived at the end of the cave. And what appeared before them was … stone steps!

He couldn't see the bottom of the stairs. Although it was a bit dark here, Dugu Yifeng and the others were still Houtian realm masters after all. Moreover, they could clearly see their surroundings through the scattered reflections from the outside.

As for the stone staircase leading to the underground, it was completely surrounded by walls and there was no light at all. As a result, their line of sight was severely restricted.

With a torch in hand, Dugu Yifeng was the first to draw his sword, followed by Ling Jian Jue and Ling Wuchen. Through the firelight, this flight of stairs led straight down. There were no branches that led to other places, so Dugu Yifeng didn't have to worry about the situation behind him.

This flight of stairs looked extremely strange. As he walked down, he felt a sense of richness spreading out from it. However, the light from the fire illuminated the stone staircase. And through this, Dugu Yifeng was able to determine with a single glance that many people were going to pass through this stone staircase in the near future.

"Be careful, don't get ambushed!" Dugu Yifeng said softly. He also slowly released his consciousness to investigate his surroundings.

As of now, he was not at the middle Houtian realm, and the range of his consciousness was around ten Zhang. A distance of ten Zhang was more than enough to investigate the enemy within this narrow stone staircase.

As he was walking, Dugu Yifeng suddenly stopped in his tracks. He took the torch from the guard behind him and slowly squatted down to pick up something from the ground.

"Yifeng, this is?" Ling Wuchen, who was standing behind him, asked as he watched Dugu Yifeng's movements.

"Snake scale!" Ling Jianxue said coldly. "Mm, it's snake scales, but …" Dugu Yifeng had a serious expression on his face.

"But what?" Ling Wuchen asked.

"However, there's something wrong with the color of the snake scale!" Ling Jianjue replied, "The one we killed was a Silver Striped Snake, so its scales should be silver, and this piece … It's a mixture of gold and silver! "

Dugu Yifeng did not make a sound, allowing the two of them to speak. His eyes were fixated on the snake scale. With this kind of situation, perhaps …

Lifting his head, Dugu Yifeng let go of the speculation in his heart and said, "Let's go, we'll continue walking!"

"Yes." "Yes." The two of them followed Dugu Yifeng and rushed to the end of the stone stairs.

However, because of the discovery of such a strange snake scale, Dugu Yifeng and the others had clearly increased their speed and quickly went down the stone stairs. He saw the ground.

There were countless numbers of them on the ground …
