The underground space was very spacious and quiet. There was no sound at all.
"We have reached the end of the mine!"
Lu Ming's heart sank slightly.
They had reached the end of the mine and could no longer advance. Then, could those ghost soldiers from before stop Bie Kuo and the rest?
The answer was no. Those ghost soldiers would definitely not be able to stop Bie Kuo and the rest. Then, wouldn't Lu Ming have nowhere to go?
Lu Ming gritted his teeth. No matter what, he had to give it a try. Lu Ming planned to find a place to hide and set up a trap. No matter what, he would not allow himself to be captured without putting up a fight.
With a flash, Lu Ming headed to the right.
This underground space was very spacious and filled with strange rocks. On the way, Lu Ming saw a pile of mud. Bone Demon told him that it was formed from the flesh and blood of a top expert. Lu Ming naturally left two runes on it.
Along the way, Lu Ming flipped over many rocks. Suddenly, Lu Ming smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.
"That is …"
Lu Ming looked ahead and his eyes lit up.
Up ahead, there was a tall hill. On top of the hill, there was a plant.
It was a pitch-black plant. Its branches and leaves were pitch-black, but it had two milky-white fruits.
"Yiyuan Fruit. This is the Yiyuan Fruit!"
Lu Ming could not help but exclaim. His eyes revealed a fiery radiance.
He had once read in an ancient book that the Yiyuan Fruit was a peerless divine fruit. The lifespan of living beings who consumed it would increase greatly. At most, it could increase one's lifespan by one stellar year.
One stellar year was a very long time. It was equivalent to the lifespan of a star, which was ten billion years.
One had to know that the lifespan of a Divine King could reach five stellar years at most.
The lifespan of a Divine Lord was also limited. It was already not bad to have ten stellar years.
Such a lifespan was no different from immortality in a Small Chiliocosm.
However, Divine Realm experts also needed a long time to cultivate. Usually, a seclusion could last hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. Time passed very quickly.
No matter how strong one's cultivation was, they would eventually die of old age.
If news of the addition of a stellar year were to spread, many old men would definitely fight over it.
With one more Stellar Year, his cultivation base might increase exponentially and his lifespan might be extended.
These were priceless treasures, and there were actually two of them here. No wonder Lu Ming's eyes were burning.
Lu Ming was about to rush up and pick them.
"Brat, if you want to die, go ahead …"
Gu Mo's voice rang out, stopping Lu Ming in his tracks.
"What do you mean?"
Lu Ming asked.
"I feel that this hill is very terrifying. There's a great killing intent …"
Gu Mo said.
Lu Ming broke out in a cold sweat. If this ancient bone devil felt a great killing intent, then it must be incomparably dangerous.
"Maybe we can trick those people!"
Lu Ming's eyes moved. His figure flashed, and arrived at the side of the hill. He found a secluded place to hide.
Not long after, Bie Kuo and the others also arrived at this underground space.
The faces of Bie Kuo and the others were extremely gloomy.
Along the way, they had passed through several dangerous places and encountered those ghost soldiers. Those ghost soldiers would attack them as soon as they saw them. It was not easy for them to rush over, but they had also lost some people.
"This place is very big. Let's split up and search. Be on guard at all times to prevent that brat from sneaking up on us!"
Bie Kuo instructed. The group split into three groups and went to the left, right, and middle respectively. They spread out to search.
Once they found Lu Ming, they were to contact him at any time and then kill him.
One of the groups headed in the direction of Lu Ming.
This group of people had two Divine Lord Realm powerhouses. One of them was precisely Deputy General Sun.
They kept moving forward. Not long after, they arrived at the vicinity of the hill.
"That's … the Yiyuan Fruit!"
Deputy General Sun and the others also saw the Yiyuan Fruit. Their eyes were burning with passion.
They were ecstatic. They did not expect to see the Yiyuan Fruit here.
In the Taixu Dynasty, who knew how many old monsters who were nearing the end of their lifespans were hibernating, hoping to break through their cultivation base.
If these Yiyuan Fruits were taken out, those old monsters would go crazy.
"Two Yiyuan Fruits. How about the two of us take one each?"
Deputy General Sun suppressed the greed in his heart and looked at the other person. That was another deputy general. His surname was Wang, and he was called Deputy General Wang.
"Okay, we'll take one each!"
Deputy General Wang nodded.
As for the others, they could only sigh helplessly.
The two Yiyuan Fruits would definitely be divided between the two Divine Lord experts. There would be no share for them.
"All of you listen well. The matter of the Yiyuan Fruit must not be leaked out. If anyone leaks it out, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Deputy General Sun's gaze swept over the others. It was incomparably cold.
"Deputy General, we, I can swear that we will definitely not leak it out!"
"Me too, I can also swear!"
The others also swore one after another.
The Yiyuan Fruit was too precious. Once it was leaked out, Bie Kuo and the others would definitely ask for it. At that time, it would be inevitable that they would have to share it out.
Deputy General Sun nodded in satisfaction. He exchanged glances with Deputy General Wang. Then, the two of them moved and rushed toward the hill.
However, when the two of them rushed into the hill, their expressions changed drastically at the same time. They cried out in surprise and retreated out of the hill.
"Deputy General Sun, what happened to you?"
The others were extremely surprised.
There were no abnormalities just now. Why did the two deputy generals have incomparably frightened expressions, their figures retreating rapidly?
Deputy General Sun and Deputy General Wang looked at each other, their eyes filled with bewilderment.
Divine Lord Realm experts' spiritual perception was very sharp. When they rushed into the range of the hill just now, a great crisis inexplicably appeared in their hearts. This kind of crisis made their hearts tremble. It was as if they would fall the next instant.
Hence, they jumped back one after another.
"Nothing!"
Deputy General Sun shook his head. His eyes flashed and he said, "You guys, go up and pluck the Yiyuan Fruit!"
Deputy General Sun looked at some of the other Black Jade Army members.
"We're going?"
Those Black Jade Army members' faces turned snow-white all at once.
They were not fools. That kind of frightened expression of Deputy General Sun and Deputy General Wang just now was not faked. That hill definitely had danger. This wanted them to go and probe it out.
"That's right. You guys go and pluck it. Pluck the Yiyuan Fruit and you'll be heavily rewarded. If you don't go, you're violating military orders. You should know the consequences!"
Deputy General Wang's figure moved slightly and blocked the back of those Black Jade Army members. His face was cold and the threat was self-evident.
Those Black Jade Army members' faces were snow-white. If they did not go, they would probably be killed on the spot by the two deputy generals.
"Alright, let's go!"
Those Black Jade Army members gritted their teeth and finally nodded.
Dozens of Black Jade Army members moved together. Their bodies emitted various kinds of radiance. They took out various divine weapons and placed them around their bodies. Then, they formed a group and carefully walked toward the hill.
When they stepped into the range of the hill, there was not the slightest danger. Everything was very calm.
Deputy General Sun and Deputy General Wang looked at each other, bewildered.
Could it be that they had sensed wrongly just now?
Those Black Jade Army members also heaved a sigh of relief. They quickened their pace and continued to move forward.
