Versatile Mage: Are you selling soul beasts in the Magic City?

The next day.

The four of them rode the golden holy dragon and flew all the way, and soon they arrived at Helan Mountain.

After arriving at the Helan Mountains, Xu Beichen let the Golden Holy Dragon land.

Xu Beichen didn't know the exact location of the Holy Spring, so he had to ask local herdsmen and Mo Fan's little loach to slowly sense it.

After entering the Helan Mountains, the terrain obviously rises. It is better to go to the west as the terrain is flatter.

The mountains here are relatively barren, with little vegetation to be seen, and there is only gravel and sand underfoot.

Walking along the mountain, you can gradually see some herdsmen.

What they raise is a group of red deer, each of which is as strong as a stallion, but has huge and exaggerated antlers, giving people a sense of majesty.

These herdsmen are not ordinary horse herders. Most of them are mages, and many of them even have psychic powers.

At this time, a man with thick eyebrows and beard came over riding a red deer and asked casually:

"Hey, little kids, are you going to the mountain to enjoy the scenery? Going up the mountain in the middle of the night doesn't look like a serious business, right?"

The elk antlers under the man's crotch were copper-colored and did not look like horns at all, but more like smelted copper objects.

The whole body of the elk is covered with bronze, just like an ancient bronze statue that has just been unearthed but is still majestic!
"We are here to look for some antiques." Xu Beichen said with a smile.

"Antiquities?"

The burly man with thick eyebrows looked Xu Beichen up and down, and seemed to realize that the person in front of him was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"If you are looking for antiques, it's best to go to high areas. But I have to remind you that the elemental soldiers on the mountain are not to be trifled with." The burly man with thick eyebrows reminded.

"We'll be careful."

After separating from the big man with thick eyebrows, the four of them continued to move forward.

The sand and gravel are flying everywhere. The wind and sand here are similar to the wind in the Qinling Mountains. Armor and magic tools are of no effect.

However, Xu Beichen, Mo Fan, and Zhao Manyan's physiques had been strengthened by the soul beast flesh, so the flying sand was not strong enough to cut their skin.

The four of them advanced very quickly and soon arrived at the higher area of the Helan Mountains.

Although the mountains here are not very large, there are various vertical faults towards the west, as if a mountain range was split by some divine power.

The split was steep and straight, with winding sand trenches and rock valleys distributed under the mountains with a drop of hundreds or thousands of meters!
If an ordinary person fell down, he would basically be smashed to pieces.

Even if you are lucky enough not to die on the spot, it will be difficult to find the way back. It is easy to get lost in such strong sandstorms.

"Should we just jump down?" Zhao Manyan asked tentatively.

Mo Fan glanced down and saw that it was almost bottomless and he couldn't see what was going on below.

Xu Beichen didn't say much, he just grabbed the two men's shoulders and teleported away.

After going down, Xu Beichen asked Mo Fan to summon the golden eagle.

This golden eagle is not very big, and its speed is far inferior to that of the Golden Holy Dragon, so it is most suitable for use here.

Riding on the back of the golden eagle, Mo Fan sensed the movements of the little loach to determine the direction.

"Brother Xu, Mo Fan, look down there, there seems to be something there." Zhao Manyan said, pointing to a sinking cliff.

"Let's go over there and take a look." Xu Beichen said.

Mo Fan nodded and directed the golden eagle to fly in the direction Zhao Manyan pointed. Upon arrival, he saw a long cliff. A closer look revealed wind-eroded rock formations, cracks, and broken pieces, creating a completely chaotic scene.

But after changing several angles, those seemingly chaotic stone patterns actually took on a certain shape.

As for the decryption task, Xu Beichen directly handed it over to Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan.

The rock paintings were distributed over a wide area, so Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan searched several kilometers southeast before they discovered other rock paintings.

Not long after, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan found a mountain pass, and the four of them immediately walked into the pass.

There is no river at the pass, but instead a very obvious alluvial fan has been formed, like a completely dried-up delta.

Walking into the gravel-covered mountain pass, the steep peaks were like doors in the sky that could collapse at any time, crisscrossing above and in front of the four people's heads.

The deeper you go, the easier it is to see signs of human habitation. You can even see a few stone houses standing alone on the cliffs.

It looks like the outpost of the entire village, and people will be stationed there to guard this important entrance.

But the stone house had been abandoned for a long time, and it was impossible to tell when it was abandoned.

"People here particularly like rock paintings, murals, and ground paintings, and they tend to express themselves through human body shapes, movements, and postures," said Zhao Manyan.

Whether you are walking on the ground or on the cliffs on both sides, you can see carved "human" shapes one by one.

The same is true of these human figures, which are of different sizes and postures.

It was as if everything here was still being fabricated and shaped, and many people posed in all kinds of strange shapes and were printed on it.

In fact, this is a kind of sculpture art. Most mural sculptures are convex, but these are concave here.

The four continued to walk deeper and soon a relatively clear river appeared.

The river overflowed from the rock layer and passed through a fault valley which was blocked by rocks and sunken in terrain. The fault valley was the mysterious and ancient village of the Holy Spring.

There is a fault in the mountain. The rock and mountain bodies at high altitudes are like a giant parasol, covering the entire small valley under the fault.

The crystal clear river water overflowed from the middle of the fault mountain range. The silver water slowly flowed down the steep rocks and formed a silver pool behind the village.

The village is made of stone and wood, and most of the houses inside are also made of wood.

When we got closer, we found that the village was not much different from any other quiet village in the mountains. There was a road, a village entrance, a village wall, and some rusty farm tools lying around.

"It looks like no one lives here." Mo Fan said.

"This village has been abandoned not long ago. After all, many traces here are related to the modern era." Xu Beichen said.

Xu Beichen paused for a moment, then looked at Mo Fan and said, "Mo Fan, go collect the Holy Spring first. We'll be waiting for you here."

"it is good."

Mo Fan had already sensed Little Loach's excitement and spoke immediately.

Xu Beichen came to a rock wall and observed it carefully.

He remembered that there were mountain trappers in the Helan Mountains, and they were the ones who stopped the northern border blood beasts every time they invaded the northern border.

The next moment, the murals on the rock walls began to twist, as if they would break free from the shackles of the rock at any time.

Suddenly, a huge rock hand stretched out from the rock wall, several meters thick! (End of this chapter)
