The Mysterious Stalker

As they travelled in the deep underground tunnels, Chengfeng realised that he had no sense of direction, nor could he tell apart day or night The only things that they could rely on right noere three things — The pickaxe in their hand, the squirrel within the cage and… light

Su You grabbed a fire torch for hiesture the others to do the sa, on the other hand, was debating with hio back and retrieve the re fire torch that was left beside the elevator But just as he was thinking, glistening blue light suddenly eht was cold but bright; It was the saht that was emitted from the crystals as they descended the mines

It i's attention, but just as he was about to use his pickaxe to mine the crystals, Su You quickly stopped hi, these crystals cannot be ht for us to pass through Further for are spirit jades Just follow us, and you'll be able to start ”

Chengfeng was humiliated, but luckily he had thick skin Moreover, under these dihts, no one could see what his facial expression looked like

The group followed Su You as theythe tunnel, soain They had arrived inside a giant stone cave, this stone cave was the size of an acre and was about eight meters tall In between the stone cave stood tall and sturdy stone pillars, some of them even reached the top of the cave, whereas the others were short and jagged However, all of these stone pillars were sparkling in a faint neon green light as spirit jades edged in between them This stone cave already had a fair ah, each of them had occupied one stone pillar each as they exerted their utth to mine the spirit jades on the top

Chengfeng took note of how they mined, each time these people raised their pickaxe, they tended to chisel the part that was further away froe piece of stone and spirit jade, they would change into the sently chisel the entire piece of spirit jade out from the stones

Su You had no intentions of stopping as he continued to pass through the cave, Chengfeng observed for a while, then quickly chased after Su You and the rest with their journey Aan to mine the unoccupied spaces

After they had passed through the giant stone cave, Chengfeng realised that the tunnel turned into eight diverging paths Su You and Tianjun walked towards the tunnel that was the second to the left as Chengfeng tried to keep up with them

Just like that, they had travelled hundreds of iant stone caves that were similar to the first one, they continued forward Until a stone cave that was so huge and so drea could not even believe his eyes had appeared before them

This cave's size was at least ten tier than the previous stone caves! The cave's walls were riddled with tunnels, where all of theht to seven meters would be another level of tunnels, and each level was surrounding the giant stone pillars that stood in the middle of the cave and extended to the other tunnels Whereas the middle part of the stone pillars looked like spider webs as they extended into the other paths on the same level

Chengfeng eyeballed the stone pillars and hypothesised that each of therown men with their arms extended to fully surround them As he lifted his head, he could see countless spirit stones elistened brightly like a galaxy These stone pillars all stood up high as they connected the ground to the ceiling, like giant heavenly trees Each level of spider web-like stone paths was just like it's tree branches, while the glistening spirit gems looked like its fruits

Surrounding each 'giant tree' and every level of 'branches' was seven to eight shi+rtlesshard with their pickaxe The massive cave was filled with echoes ofsounds co note

Chengfeng was rendered speechless at the scene as he stood perfectly still, in aith its ht to hi thousands of books is not equal to travelling thousands of miles! My mind has been utterly opened! If I did not see this in person, ht!'

Chengfeng couldn't help but ask, “Senior Brother Su, are these… all Senior Brothers from the Spiritual Mountain Sect?”

Su You smiled, “They're mostly servants from the other heavenly courts, that or they're employed miners”

“E puzzledly

Su You nodded, “Many Senior Brothers of Hidden Brocade Court and Grand Senior Sister of Hidden Beauty Court do not come down here to mineterm miners or make their own servants come down and mine for them”
