PS: Brothers, please give me a few recommendation votes. Don't make it look so bad …

There were traces of excavation everywhere in the mine. There were rocks everywhere and only a small amount of soil. It was about two meters high and two meters wide. It was very spacious for a person to walk in.
There was no more Magic Silver inside. Everywhere was filled with a grayish-white aura. It was silent, except for the occasional sound of insects.
Yang Dingtian held the flame feather and walked forward. Although there was no light in the mine, the flame feather's light was enough to illuminate a dozen meters around him.
Yang Dingtian held his breath and carefully walked inside.
Although there weren't many demon beasts here, it was still more dangerous than the periphery of the Red Wasteland. This was because it was inside a cave and not on a wide flat surface.
After several hundred meters, he didn't encounter any demon beasts.
After a thousand meters, he didn't encounter any demon beasts.
After two thousand meters, he still didn't encounter any demon beasts.
"How can this be?
How can there not be any demon beasts? "
Yang Dingtian was disappointed. Ningning said that although there were very few demon beasts in the abandoned mine, there should be at least a few dozen. How come he didn't encounter any?
Next, Yang Dingtian had to take out the Bloody Black Gold from the box to attract the gold-eating beasts.
The Bloody Black Gold was extremely attractive to gold-type demon beasts. As long as there was a gold-eating beast within a few hundred meters, it would definitely be attracted.
However, Yang Dingtian was disappointed. Still, no demon beasts appeared.
At this time, Yang Dingtian was already four thousand meters deep into the mine. There was only one thousand meters left before he reached the bottom.
The entire mine was winding and extended in all directions.
Yang Dingtian kept going deeper and deeper. He even walked past every fork. He didn't know how many turns he had taken and how many forks he had passed.
The mine was still silent. At first, there were still the sounds of insects, but later, there were no more insects.
He was still five hundred meters away from the deepest part of the mine, but there were still no demon beasts.
"How can this be?
What the hell happened?
Why are all the demon beasts gone? "Yang Dingtian was shocked.
Was he going to return empty-handed today?
At this time, the surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower. The deeper they went into the mine, the thicker the frost on the ground. In the end, it completely turned into frost. Yang Dingtian knew that this was because of the unfreezing pool.
Ningning had said that there had been an earthquake here a few months ago. Unfreezing water gushed out from the depths of the mine and condensed into a pool, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.
Yang Dingtian continued to walk forward. The ground was no longer covered in frost, but a thick layer of ice.
Moreover, there was already a faint light in front. Unfreezing water emitted light. Yang Dingtian knew that he was not far from the deepest part of the mine.
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian placed all his hopes on the unfreezing pond, hoping that there would be ice-type demon beasts there.
After all, today's main goal was the ice-type demonic beast. There were other gold-eating beasts in other places, but ice-type demonic beasts could only be found in the Northern Continent, which was thousands of miles away.
The deeper they went, the colder it became. In the end, the entire mine was crystal clear, completely covered by a layer of ice.
After turning a corner, the mouth of the cave in front emitted a snow-white light.
Yang Dingtian knew that he would soon reach the deepest part of the mine. The unfreezing pond was right in front of him. Whether or not there would be ice-type demonic beasts would depend on this moment.
Holding his breath, Yang Dingtian slowly walked forward to the end of the tunnel.
Below, there was an incomparably huge cave. The area was the size of a football field, but it was hundreds of meters deep. This cave was formed by the collapse of the earthquake.
Every part of the cave was covered in ice. It was as beautiful as a crystal palace, with sharp icicles everywhere.
In the center of the cave, there was a transparent pool of water about two hundred meters in area. The pool emitted a snow-white light, illuminating the entire huge cave.
This was the unfreezing pond.
There were also the demonic beasts that Yang Dingtian was concerned about.
There were dozens of gold-eating beasts of all kinds, using their sharp claws to dig through the ice, looking for all kinds of metals to eat.
Yang Dingtian finally knew why there was not a single demonic beast in the entire mine. It was because all the demonic beasts were gathered here because there were metals to eat. The earthquake had caused some of the metals in the depths of the ground to be overturned.
There were also ice-type demonic beasts, which were leisurely swimming in the unfreezing pond.
It was really a case of being at the end of the road, but there was always a glimmer of hope.
However, there were too many gold-eating beasts in front of him. There were dozens of them here, and one of them was a second-grade demonic beast. Although he had the Flame Feather, if dozens of demonic beasts besieged him, it would be extremely dangerous, even a dead end.
However, it was not that there was no way. Yang Dingtian took out the Bloody Black Gold and shook it in the air, then immediately put it into a jade box.
It could not be exposed to the air for too long, or the dozens of gold-eating beasts would rush over.
Sure enough, the gold-eating beasts below seemed to have smelled an incomparably delicious smell. They immediately raised their heads to look at Yang Dingtian's hiding place, but found nothing. Most of the demonic beasts were still digging through the ice, looking for food. The demonic beast closest to Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment, then quickly ran towards Yang Dingtian's location.
Yang Dingtian immediately retreated a few hundred meters. He could not kill the gold-eating beasts here, otherwise, he would attract the attention of the group of gold-eating beasts below.
After retreating to a corner a hundred meters away, Yang Dingtian took the most advantageous position, then waited for the gold-eating beast to arrive.
Sure enough, a minute later, a gold-eating beast sneakily came. Yang Dingtian hid the Flame Feather behind his back, covering the light. Suddenly, the entire mine was pitch-black, so only the small fiery red eyes of the gold-eating beast could be seen.
This was a gold-eating demonic rat, about the size of a rabbit.
Its attack power was not strong, but it was extremely agile. Its teeth were very sharp, and it specialized in attacking people's crotch.
Therefore, to Yang Dingtian, this was a very dangerous demonic beast. He must not let it get close to him, otherwise, it would be very dangerous.
Yang Dingtian held his breath and locked all the pores on his body.
But even so, he was still discovered by the gold-eating demonic rat. It immediately stopped, sniffed with its small nose, and quickly locked onto Yang Dingtian's position. Its two fiery red eyes suddenly stared at Yang Dingtian.
"Swoosh …" Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, the gold-eating demonic rat rushed over. Its speed was shockingly fast, completely exceeding Yang Dingtian's imagination.
The most frightening thing was that when it rushed over, it actually closed its eyes. Suddenly, the entire mine was pitch-black, and the gold-eating demonic rat could no longer be seen.
What a cunning demonic beast. Yang Dingtian suddenly felt a huge sense of danger. He immediately waved the Flame Feather on his back, and the pitch-black mine was instantly filled with a dazzling light.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian shockingly realized that the gold-eating demonic rat was less than a foot away from his crotch. Its mouth was already open, revealing its sharp fangs. In less than 0.01 seconds, it would bite his crotch.
However, when the Flame Feather flashed with a dazzling light, the gold-eating demonic rat was slightly stunned. It paused for a moment, and then rushed over according to inertia.
"Pig Slaying Sword Art, Split in Two."
Yang Dingtian waved the Flame Feather in his hand towards the gold-eating demonic rat's direction. Swish!
"Swish!"
Suddenly, the gold-eating demonic rat was split into two halves in the air. There was no sound, and it did not even let out a scream.
"What a good treasure." Yang Dingtian stared at the Flame Feather in a daze.
The gold-eating demonic rat ate gold all year round. Not only its skin, even its hair was harder than steel. It was much harder to kill compared to the Fire-eyed Demonic Wolf and the Wind Snake.
If one did not have strong Xuan Qi, even the best steel sword would not be able to harm them.
However, this Flame Feather cut through the gold-eating demonic rat's steel body as easily as cutting through tofu.
Yang Dingtian squatted down and looked at the gold-eating demonic rat's corpse. The cut wound was actually black, and it was directly burnt. Not even a drop of blood flowed out. This Flame Feather was really too awesome.
He easily dug out the demon core from the Gold-eating Fiend Rat's brain. It was still boiling hot and looked like a fiery red metal walnut. It was covered with complicated patterns. He placed the Gold-eating Fiend Rat's demon core into the box.
The third gold-type demonic core was in his hands.
Next, it was time to get the fourth ice-type demonic core.
In the unfreezing pool below, there were at least three ice-type demonic beasts swimming around.
Next to the pool, there were dozens of gold-eating demonic beasts. First, he had to deal with these dozens of gold-eating demonic beasts. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to get the ice-type demonic core, he would also lose his life.
Yang Dingtian had two plans. The first plan was to throw the Bloody Black Gold far away. The dozens of gold-eating demonic beasts would definitely pounce on it and fight with each other. In the end, the only demonic beast left would be the Rank Two gold-eating demonic beast. After Yang Dingtian went down to kill the Rank Two gold-eating demonic beast, he would go to the unfreezing pool to kill the ice-type demonic beast.
The second plan was to put the Bloody Black Gold in the mine a thousand meters away and attract all the gold-eating demonic beasts there. Then, he would go to the unfreezing pool to kill the ice-type demonic beast.
Both plans had their flaws and uncertainties, but Yang Dingtian still chose the first plan.
However, Yang Dingtian did not know if things would go as he expected. Even so, in the end, Yang Dingtian would have to kill the Rank Two gold-eating demonic beast alone, which was many times stronger than the Rank One gold-eating demonic beast.
Holding his breath, Yang Dingtian grabbed the Bloody Black Gold in his hand and threw it towards the group of gold-eating demonic beasts.
"Whoosh …" The Bloody Black Gold weighing more than ten kilograms was thrown dozens of meters away.
The gold-eating demonic beasts that were shaving ice were stunned. They sniffed with their noses and then crazily rushed towards the Bloody Black Gold.
The attraction of the Bloody Black Gold to the gold-eating demonic beasts was fatal. The dozens of gold-eating demonic beasts had already begun to crazily kill each other, desperately biting and tearing at each other. Suddenly, beasts' blood splattered everywhere, and miserable cries rang out.
When this group of low-level gold-eating demonic beasts saw the Bloody Black Gold, it was as if they had gone completely crazy, rushing forward to fight for it.
