What happened next convinced Linlong that he was indeed extremely lucky. He had searched the entire forest and obtained over 200 Purple Crystal ores, but he still hadn't encountered a single beast.
The only pity was that the forest wasn't very big. Otherwise, there wouldn't be just over 200 Purple Crystal ores.
Clearly, this forest was a very secluded place in the mystic realm that no one had been to before. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Purple Crystal ores left. As for why there weren't any beasts, that was a mystery.
After obtaining the Purple Crystal ores, Linlong's only thought was to leave this place. However, what made him feel helpless was that he couldn't find any runic formations that could allow him to leave this place after searching the entire forest.
The only runic formation was the one that came from the desert. However, he would definitely return to the desert if he passed through that runic formation. Naturally, Linlong wouldn't do that.
Was he going to be trapped in this forest? That was something Linlong didn't want to see. If that was the case, it would be useless no matter how many Purple Crystal ores he obtained.
Linlong naturally wouldn't resign himself to his fate. Therefore, he continued to search for a way out of the forest.
Indeed, hard work paid off. After two hours, Linlong found a cave in a pile of huge rocks.
After walking into the cave, Linlong's eyes lit up. This was because the cave didn't look like it was naturally formed. Instead, it was man-made.
The cave wasn't big and could only fit one person. The walls were made of rocks and were extremely dry.
After walking along the winding cave for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the originally dark cave actually emitted traces of light. Linlong couldn't help but feel excited.
This meant that he had reached the exit of the cave.
Very soon, Linlong arrived at the place where the light shone in. He discovered that there was a huge rock blocking the entrance of the cave. There was only a small crack that allowed light to enter the cave.
After that, Linlong expended a tremendous amount of effort to push open a crack that allowed him to crawl out of the huge rock.
After peeking out of the cave, Linlong discovered that he was actually on a cliff that seemed to have been carved out by a knife. After looking around carefully, a look of joy appeared on his face.
This was because the mountain in front of him was clearly the one that they had entered the mystic realm from.
However, the place that he came out from was not the side of the mountain. After going around for such a long time, he must have arrived at the other side of the mountain.
Linlong didn't hesitate any longer. He crawled out of the cave and climbed down the cliff.
After some effort, he finally arrived at the bottom of the cliff. Looking up, he saw that the cave entrance was not obvious. Obviously, because of this, the people in the tribe did not realize that there was another universe inside the cave that led directly to the secret realm.
After memorizing the location of the cave entrance, Linlong identified the direction and walked toward the belly of the mountain.
…
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
With a flash of white light, the youths who had entered the mystic realm returned to the outside one by one.
Seeing so many people return, the expressions of the people waiting outside the secret realm changed. Compared to before, a large number of people had come out earlier.
"What's going on? Why did you guys come out so quickly?" An elder hurriedly asked.
A young man who came out first said with a sad face, "There are too many beasts in the second map. We can't hold on at all."
"How long have you been in the second map?"
"Just four hours."
"There were so many beasts in four hours that you had no choice but to escape. How is this possible? What happened inside? "
Everyone looked incredulous.
"Nothing happened. It's just that the number of beasts increased mysteriously," someone said, shaking his head.
Someone else said, "However, although it's only been a short time, the Purple Crystal ores we obtained are not less than before."
"Is that so? Let's take a look." Hearing that, the people outside heaved a slight sigh of relief.
They let these young people enter the mystic realm to obtain Purple Crystal ores. It would be great if they could achieve their goal.
The people who came out took out the Purple Crystal ores they had obtained. Seeing that the amount of Purple Crystal ores they took out was indeed comparable to before, the elders outside were finally relieved.
At this moment, there were four extremely wide wooden tables in front of everyone. They were the places where the four clans stored their crystals. This was naturally to make it easier to count and compare.
The young people who came out walked to the tables of their clans and placed the Purple Crystal ores they had obtained on the tables. The amount of Purple Crystal ores they obtained would be counted by specialized people in the tribe.
In the following period, people came out of the mystic realm intermittently.
In this process, other than counting the Purple Crystal ores, there were naturally specialized people to count the number of people who came out. As for who met with an accident inside, the people who came out would also report it to the people in charge of counting and the elders in their clans.
After a period of time, it seemed like no one else came out of the mystic realm. At this moment, the people in charge of counting began to report.
Some people from each clan had died in the mystic realm. There were also some whose lives were temporarily unknown. However, there weren't many of them. This made everyone heave a sigh of relief.
Every year, many people who entered the mystic realm would die. The people in the tribe were basically used to it.
Everyone naturally couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and sadness. After all, these people who died or were still unknown were their relatives.
Of course, after today, the tribe would naturally find a more suitable time to mourn these people who had passed away.
According to the descriptions of the people who came out, there were abnormally many and ferocious beasts inside. Those who didn't come out in time were mostly dead. Therefore, the people didn't hold out much hope for those who went missing to be alive.
"Linlong didn't come out?" After taking a closer look at the people who came out, Ninth Uncle couldn't help but ask the person in charge of counting in his clan.
"He didn't come out." The person in charge of counting shook his head.
Ninth Uncle saw that Liu Ruolan was obviously listening to the two of them. After hearing the words of the person in charge of counting, her expression obviously turned ugly. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
Then, she even bent down and started sobbing.
Seeing this scene, Ninth Uncle couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
No matter who it was, there was a possibility of dying in the mystic realm. All Ninth Uncle could do was sigh dejectedly.
Seeing that Linlong didn't appear, Liu Zong's eyes also became wet with tears.
After counting the number of people and briefly mourning the dead, the people in the tribe finally shifted their gazes to the four tables.
Counting the Purple Crystal ores and ranking them was something that had to be done.
At this moment, the people from the Lu Clan all had smiles on their faces. This was because they had the most Purple Crystal ores on their table. Even if Lu Yangyu met with an accident and didn't enter the second map, the people from the Liu Clan had very ugly expressions.
The expressions of the Liu Clan members were very ugly, because they had the least Purple Crystal mines.
"Hehe, Ninth Brother, what do you think? Didn't I tell you that even if our Lu Clan gave in to Yangyu, you're still in last place? Your Liu Clan can't compare to our Lu Clan at all," Lu Bing said proudly.
He originally thought that without Lu Yangyu, the Lu Clan's ranking would be affected. Who would have thought that the Lu Clan would still be in first place? Therefore, he couldn't hide the pride in his heart.
Hearing such blatant mockery from Lu Bing, the people from the Liu Clan's expressions became even uglier. But what else could they do now?
"Take it!" Ninth Uncle's expression darkened. He directly grabbed ten pieces of Purple Crystal ores and threw them at Lu Bing.
