What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

Below the cliff, there grows a dense patch of thick vines with leaves that have turned a sickly yellowish-brown.

The smell of sulfur was coming from behind these vines.

I stepped forward, stretched out my hands, grabbed the rough vines, and forcefully pushed them to both sides.

"Splash—"

As the vines were torn apart, a dark hole about two meters high appeared in front of me.

Suddenly, a gust of air carrying a strong sulfurous smell rushed in from the cave entrance.

The wind blowing on my face even had a slight burning sensation.

I stood at the cave entrance, carefully observing the surrounding scenery.

The rocks here are completely different from the bluish-gray rocks we've seen along the way.

The rock walls at the edge of the cave entrance were an abnormal dark red, and their surface was covered with fine cracks.

If you touch it, you can even feel a trace of warmth.

Undoubtedly, this is a characteristic that only appears after the rocks have been scorched by the volcanic energy deep underground for a long time, causing changes in the minerals inside.

This is the entrance to the ancient mine that has been abandoned for decades.

I took a deep breath, inhaling the pungent smell of sulfur into my lungs, and forcibly suppressed the instinctive irritation I felt due to the change in environment.

Within the dantian, the evil pill rotated slightly faster.

A murderous aura instantly flowed through his body, ready to be at my command at any time.

After that, I didn't hesitate any longer and stepped directly into the mine.

Upon entering the mine entrance, the natural light behind me seemed to be instantly swallowed up by some invisible force.

After walking only a few meters forward, I was plunged into complete darkness.

Accompanying the darkness was a strange, stifling heat, and the pungent smell of sulfur permeated the air.

If an ordinary person without protective gear were to accidentally enter, they would probably feel dizzy and even collapse from poisoning within minutes.

However, this is not an obstacle for me at all.

This environment is not much different from the deadly miasma I breathe in the mountains of southern Xinjiang.

It's still an air freshener.

My only slight miscalculation was that I wasn't well-prepared for this trip into the mountains and forgot to buy a powerful flashlight in Qingshi Town.

In this pitch-black abandoned mine, eyesight is practically useless.

Fortunately, I can see things without relying solely on my eyes.

I calmed my mind slightly, and the mysterious, cool aura between my brows instantly emanated, mingling with the malevolent energy within my body.

Immediately afterwards, I spread out my Qi-controlling perception network in all directions without reservation.

Within the perception network of Qi control, the outlines, textures, and even the subtlest movements of everything are clearly fed back into my mind.

It's like installing a high-precision 3D holographic radar.

I know everything about the cracks in the surrounding rock walls, the scattered pebbles on the ground, and even the direction of the air currents.

To put it simply, with my senses fully activated, even if I ran through the mine with my eyes closed, I absolutely wouldn't bump into anything.

It's no different from taking a walk on the street during the day.

However, this approach of maintaining maximum range of perception without any blind spots results in a slightly higher consumption of mental energy and malevolent energy.

In this high-temperature environment that already suppresses my cold and yin attributes, I must control the output of my power even more precisely.

To ensure that he would still be in peak condition when he encountered that strange beast.

I walked slowly and steadily into the depths of the mine, following the bumpy main tunnel beneath my feet.

The mine tunnel was eerily quiet, with only the sound of my own footsteps echoing between the rock walls.

Occasionally, my sensory network will detect some old, abandoned objects.

For example, the rusty mining rails and the wooden support pillars that are so rotten they're unrecognizable.

As I ventured deeper, the temperature rose and the surrounding environment became increasingly dry.

While passing through an area with many rock crevices, I did discover the presence of some indigenous people.

Those were some enormous centipedes.

But the centipedes here are generally as long as an adult's forearm, which is enough to make your scalp tingle.

Judging from their appearance, these creatures have also been exposed to the underground fire vein's energy for many years, resulting in some kind of special mutation.

After all, putting aside body shape, let's just talk about habits.

Ordinary centipedes prefer dark and damp places and would never grow in such a dry and sweltering environment.

However, these mutated centipedes didn't cause me any trouble.

They seem to possess very keen intuition.

The chilling, malevolent aura emanating from me was a natural deterrent to these lowly spirits living on the edge of the fire veins.

Moreover, my murderous aura also contains a trace of the true dragon's might, though it is subtle, it is real.

This made those mutated centipedes dare not approach me at all.

Whenever I walk along the mine tunnel, I can clearly "see" the footsteps approaching in the sensory network.

Those large centipedes that were originally clinging to the rock wall seemed to have sensed some extremely terrifying natural enemy.

They moved swiftly with their dense, numerous feet, desperately burrowing into the deep crevices of the rocks, keeping a safe distance from me.

And so, I moved forward without any obstacles.

The map that Shi Cuishan gave me played a huge role at this time.

The mine was indeed as he described, with numerous interconnected paths and branching routes, like a giant underground labyrinth.

If you wander around without a map, it's easy to get lost.

I mentally compared the route to the map while using my sensory network to navigate.

However, Shi Cuishan probably hasn't been here for a while.

The mine has been abandoned for decades, and the geological structure in many places has become very fragile.

On several occasions, the main mine tunnel was marked as safe on the map.

However, my sensory network detected in advance that the rock strata at the top of the mine tunnel ahead were covered with deep fault cracks, and the supporting structure had completely decayed.

Even the slightest disturbance, or even a strong gust of air, could trigger a massive landslide, burying people alive.

Thanks to this early warning system, I safely avoided several potentially fatal landslides and maintained a safe route.

After walking deeper into the mine for about half an hour...

At this point, the surrounding temperature had reached an outrageous level.

Even the air I breathed into my lungs felt like it was burning.

This forced me to speed up the circulation of my evil energy, creating a protective shield around my body to resist the heat wave.
