As for Ah Wu, due to its fondness for devouring various refined gold and spiritual iron, it had already first burrowed into the ground, beginning to ravage the underground tal and iron substances.
The three entered the gorge.
Gu Yuan glanced around, beginning to examine the gorge before them.
The gorge was full of low shrubs and weeds, lush and green.
However, upon entering the gorge, before Gu Yuan could say anything, both Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling imdiately felt sothing was off.
They felt a slight chill on their skin surface, a prickling pain akin to being poked by needles, and the further they ventured inside, the more intense the stinging sensation beca.
Upon reaching the valley, not only did their skin begin to prick, but the two won even felt their divine souls starting to ache.
This made the two won have to circulate True Qi, and even perform Divine Techniques to resist these invisible, intangible sensations.
"Such dense Geng tal Qi..."
Yan Xiaoling released a Gu Insect resembling a soybean, which emitted a shimring yellow light that enveloped Yan Xiaoling’s entire body.
Both won were not ordinary cultivators and had perceived the anomaly in this place.
As for Gu Yuan, his expression remained unchanged, as if unaware of the pervasive Geng tal Qi and Xin tal Qi throughout the gorge.
His physique was extrely powerful, and even if the environnt here were multiple tis, dozens of tis worse, he would not be affected, naturally showing no unusual reaction.
Moreover, Gu Yuan had obtained the "Gold Spirit" talent through Silver-backed Centipede Ah Wu, making him extrely sensitive and attuned to Geng tal Qi and Xin tal Qi.
Calling this "Gold Spirit" talent a kind of Gold Spirit Body talent wouldn’t be inappropriate.
Therefore, coming to this place, not only did Gu Yuan feel no discomfort, but he even found a peculiar sense of familiarity.
With each breath, the tal Elent Primordial Qi from the world gathered around him.
Moreover, Gu Yuan sensed that throughout the gorge, there were ores filled with Geng tal Qi and Xin tal Qi.
He even saw several scattered pieces of Iron Spirit and Profound Iron Ore.
Below the ground, there was a massive vein.
At least Gu Yuan could sense in the depths underground, there was a vast reservoir of Geng tal Qi and Xin tal Qi.
But with Silver-backed Centipede exploring the underground and being ntally connected with it, Gu Yuan naturally could see so things.
In fact, in such an environnt as this gorge, ordinary Demon Beasts and fierce beasts would find it hard to survive, and only so special species could endure.
For example, Gu Yuan saw a beast with pitch-black fur, shaped like a buffalo but much larger than an elephant, with a body length of six zhang and over four zhang in height.
The beast’s mouth was filled with sharp, thick teeth, and the twin curved horns on its head spiraled upward, with the tips pointing high into the air, shining with a dark tallic luster.
At this mont, this giant beast was in front of a massive rock, gnawing on it with mouth wide open, making a teeth-grinding "creak, creak" sound.
The rock was dark, with a tallic sheen, and with the eyesight of the three, they could discern that this rock was naturally a piece of Iron Mother Ore, standing several zhang tall.
Under normal circumstances, even if a cultivator used a Magical Artifact or Flying Sword to chop it, a lower-quality Flying Sword would leave hardly any mark.
However, at this mont, this Iron Mother Ore had already been chomped into a large notch by the giant beast.
This illustrated the beast’s teeth and digestive prowess.
Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, sowhat surprised and slightly puzzled, as if he discerned so situation.
Regarding Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling, they were even more dumbfounded.
They had, of course, seen so rare Demon Beasts and fierce beasts, but they had never seen sothing like this.
A bit farther away, there were scattered piles of hard, dry stuff resembling dung, but on closer inspection, it looked more like irregular tal pieces.
Seeing the three, this peculiar giant beast, resembling a black buffalo, rely lifted its eyelids, swinging its long and thick tail indifferently, appearing rather impatient.
Yet it paid no further heed to the three and instead opened its mouth again to continue gnawing on the Iron Mother Ore, causing the observers to cringe.
Yan Xiaoling, curious, noticed Gu Yuan’s expression seed to reveal sothing, so she couldn’t resist asking, "Brother Gu, this is..."
Gu Yuan began to explain: "This is an Iron-Crushing Beast, a rare Exotic Beast that feeds on tal and iron. Its excrent is also refined tal, which can be used for refining Magical Artifacts and even Magical Treasures."
Finally, he pointed to the piles of excrent on the ground.
"Ah? An Iron-Crushing Beast?"
The two were stunned upon hearing this, both sowhat bewildered.
"Indeed, though the Iron-Crushing Beast feeds on tal and iron, it is gentle in nature. As long as it doesn’t feel threatened or the threat is minuscule, it generally won’t attack easily."
Gu Yuan nodded, explaining further.
Then, he added:
"Besides, with this Iron-Crushing Beast around, the gorge is generally safe. My junior sisters can explore the gorge further; I believe you will find sothing worthwhile."
Upon Gu Yuan’s reminder, the two won’s eyes lit up, thanking him and then starting their exploration.
The two first approached a pile of Iron-Crushing Beast excrent, eyeing it sowhat disdainfully, but upon closer inspection, discovered an anomaly.
This pile of excrent exceeded half a ter in height, composed of hard, rock-like clumps, all irregular in shape. Ji Yuefei reached out and used a spell to lift a piece, nodding in satisfaction.
She was sure Gu Yuan was right; this Iron-Crushing Beast excrent, though a bit off-putting, was actually precious material. It’s uncertain what spiritual iron material it was, but it was definitely sufficient for refining common Magical Artifacts.
A few pieces even emitted a reddish-copper tallic sheen, clearly special spiritual materials.
With this realization, the two won, like mice falling into a rice jar, started collecting these "excrents" everywhere.
Though slightly repugnant, the thought of acquiring these materials that could be traded for various cultivation resources outside the Red Dragon Small World at markets made it worthwhile.
Thus, what lay on the ground was not rely Iron-Crushing Beast excrent, but piles of cultivation resources.
The two won diligently and joyously busied themselves, and Gu Yuan didn’t stand idle either.
He wandered throughout the gorge and then proceeded further inside, quickly reaching a spacious area.
Here, the shrubbery was sparser, but there stood a massive tree with a trunk as thick as three people could wrap their arms around.
This tree was also quite peculiar.
Though it grew tall and robust, it didn’t have many leaves. The leaves were dark green, with veins glimring faint whitish light, looking heavy and sowhat tallic.
Even the trunk and branches were dark-toned, giving a strong, weighty impression, as if cast from tal and iron.
