627: A little beast addicted to mining!

You Zhengyang, the Grand Elder of the Heavens Mandate Sect, was searching Soul Refining Mountain with the other eight Elders, his face livid.

They had searched all of Soul Refining Mountain, yet they hadn't even seen a shadow of that Aura Nether Beast.

"Grand Elder, could it be that the Nether Beast has already left this place..." one Elder asked cautiously.

"Yes, it ran away, it left Soul Refining Mountain!!" You Zhengyang's voice carried suppressed anger.

"I felt that it was in this direction. Since it's not here, we can only continue searching forward!!"

You Zhengyang recalled the anomaly before the Nether Beast disappeared; the little thing had suddenly looked around in confusion, its nose twitching constantly, as if it had sensed something.

Why would it abandon us?! Why!

It was us who summoned it to this world; what on earth happened!!

What did it sense?!

You Zhengyang muttered to himself, his expression becoming even uglier: "Could it be... that within this Netherworld, there exists Luck even more powerful than the Aura Nether Beast itself?"

This was simply preposterous!

The Aura Nether Beast was the embodiment of the Netherworld's Luck; the Luck it sensed should have been the most magnificent existence in the entire Netherworld.

"Search! Follow this direction and keep searching for me!" You Zhengyang's voice carried a hint of madness.

"I want to see the beast alive, or its corpse if it's dead! No matter what, you must find it and bring it back to me!"

The eight Elders looked at each other, their hearts filled with despair.

This uninhabited area of the Netherworld was so vast; trying to find a tiny Nether Beast within it was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

But they dared not disobey the Grand Elder's orders.

Thus, the nine high-ranking members of the Heavens Mandate Sect, like headless flies, began a carpet search across this vast, uninhabited area.

Deep inside Chaotic Soul Mountain.

Under the guidance of the Demonic Thought, the Little Beast quickly mastered the essence of mining.

After all, it was an Aura Nether Beast, naturally able to mobilize the Spiritual Qi and Laws of heaven and earth.

Although this place was thick with foul, it could skillfully avoid the erosion of the foul, directly utilizing the energy of heaven and earth to assist in its mining.

Although its claws were small, every swing carried a trace of the Netherworld's Origin power, making the hard chaotic soul stone as fragile as tofu.

"Not bad! Not bad! That's it!" Demonic Thought danced around, directing it: "Deeper! Faster! The more you dig, the happier Master will be. The happier Master is, the stronger Big Brother's immortal body will be. The stronger Big Brother is, the better I can look after you!!"

The Little Beast seemed to understand Demonic Thought's words; it let out a joyful cry, and its mining speed increased by a few notches.

chaotic soul stones fell from the stone wall like raindrops, piling up around the Little Beast.

Moreover, looking at the Little Beast, it seemed the more it dug, the more excited and happy it became, truly enjoying itself.

This Little Beast was simply a natural mining machine!

In a flash, three days passed.

Lu Hao was still sitting in the corner of the mine tunnel, and in the illusion, he was still mechanically swinging his pickaxe.

The other Cultivators in the mine tunnel had become accustomed to Lu Hao's indifferent state.

They thought Lu Hao was just a lazy Cultivator who only dug one chaotic soul stone every day before hiding in the corner to rest.

Most of the old-timers in the mine tunnel would sigh secretly when they saw Lu Hao's state.

This was the time when this group's blood and Qi were at their most vigorous; if they didn't dig more chaotic soul stones at this stage, it would be even harder once their blood and Qi declined in the Late Stage...

This tragedy had happened many times, and everyone just felt that Lu Hao was the same.

But no one knew that deep in the mine tunnel, a Little Beast and a Demonic Thought were mining chaotic soul stones at an astonishing speed.

In these three days, Demonic Thought and the Little Beast had excavated a huge underground space.

The mountain-like pile of chaotic soul stones was already about to fill the entire space.

The mining speed of the two little fellows was enough to rival an army of tens of thousands!

"Huff... huff..." Demonic Thought flew to the Little Beast, panting, and wiped the sweat from its forehead: "Little one, you've done very well. How about we stop here for today? Big Brother is a bit tired, why don't you take a break too?"

"Awoo?" The Little Beast let out a soft cry, staring at Big Brother with its big eyes, looking full of confusion.

Its expression, however, appeared spirited, and it shook its body, seemingly wanting to continue digging.

"Oh my, you little fellow, your energy is truly abundant!" Demonic Thought said helplessly: "However, we must balance work and rest. We've dug so many chaotic soul stones, it's time to go back and report to Master."

"Awoo awoo!"

"You still want to dig? How come you've become addicted to mining?" Demonic Thought was speechless... This little one was truly too innocent...

"Forget it, forget it, you dig by yourself. Big Brother is a bit tired, I'm going back to Master first."

The Little Beast nodded obediently and then continued to bury itself in hard work.

If the Elders of the Heavens Mandate Sect could see this scene before them, they would probably be so angry they'd ascend to heaven on the spot!!

The Nether Beast they had summoned nine times with all their might, exhausting more than half of the Sect's resources, was now actually mining in a mineral vein?!

And digging with such enthusiasm?!

Is there any justice?! Is there any Law?!

Demonic Thought left a wisp of Divine Sense on the Little Beast and flew upwards.

"Master! I'm back!" Demonic Thought flew wobbly to Lu Hao, its voice filled with a cheerful desire for credit.

Lu Hao looked him up and down and said with a smile: "Good work. Where is the little one?"

"The little one is a good little brother; he's still working hard for his Big Brother's immortal body, I couldn't even call him back!"

Lu Hao probed with his Divine Sense and discovered that tens of thousands of miles below him, a Little Beast was excitedly digging for chaotic soul stones.

Lu Hao also left a wisp of Divine Sense on it and stopped paying attention.

Afterward, Demonic Thought brought out his harvest this time!

A large amount of chaotic soul stones appeared before Lu Hao's eyes; a rough look revealed there were nearly one hundred thousand of them!!

Looking at the mountain of chaotic soul stones before him, Lu Hao was also somewhat shocked.

He hadn't expected the efficiency of Demonic Thought and the Little Beast to be so high.

Hundreds of thousands of chaotic soul stones—this was a huge fortune!

"Well done, go get some rest."

Seeing this, Demonic Thought was satisfied and, feeling a bit tired, turned into a bead, flew back into Lu Hao's hair, and began to sleep soundly.

About half a day later, the Little Beast also flew wobblily out of the tunnel.

Perhaps because mining alone was a bit boring, it also learned from Big Brother's example and pounced into Lu Hao's embrace to rest.
