Six demons agreed with their leader's idea. They needed recovery to get their energy back. Because if they went on and encountered really strong earth dragons, it would be difficult for them to survive. Therefore, the best option was to take a break first.

Thud!

As for Zheng-Fu, he did not waste any energy in using his camouflage skill, so there was no need for recovery. He, therefore, decided to go ahead and explore the cave before these demons. He wanted to know what exactly was inside this cave. If it really was the earth dragon spirit monsters' den, he would quickly escape from this place. Because Earth Dragon King had to be very strong. And he did not even have the slightest chance of dealing with it. Unless he was an advanced Heavenly Star stage cultivator.

Whoosh!

Having made up his mind, Zheng-Fu immediately headed inside the cave. Along the way, Zheng-Fu saw dozens of other earth dragon spirit monsters. Each of them was at the intermediate to advanced Heavenly Star stage. Moreover, their bodies were even larger than the previous ones Zheng-Fu had seen. If the group of seven demons did not choose to rest, they had to clash with these terrifying earth dragons and would probably be killed.

'The deeper I go, the earth dragons I found were stronger. Then it means that inside must be their den. Knowing this, am I still going in? Sigh! Why did my curiosity arise now? Why would I even want to go in and see it? So crazy!!!' Zheng-Fu could not help cursing himself.

Whoosh!

Sniff! Sniff! Sniff!

As Zheng-Fu passed these earth spirit monsters, they suddenly sniffed their nostrils as if they had smelled something. But eventually, they gave up and turned to stand to watch out again.

'Oh! So close!'

It was actually because Zheng-Fu's robe had the bloodstain of the dragon he killed on it. Luckily, he noticed it in time and quickly dealt with it before these earth dragons could become aware.

When Zheng-Fu saw that nothing had happened, he immediately continued to move on, because every moment was precious to him. He went nearly four lis deep until he finally stopped. The area where he stopped was a hall several hundred meters wide, filled with numerous ore deposits rising from the ground and glittering all over. However, surrounding these piles of ores, there were earth dragons of various sizes lay guard.

"Hmm! This is the earth dragon spirit monster's den in the mine cave, right? They live within this mine and use these lumps of Dragon Soul Ore as a source of energy. This seems not an easy task for me. By the way, where is their king?"

Zheng-Fu finally realized that this cave was actually both an ore mine and a den of earth dragons. He thought that to seize this cave, he would have to deal with the earth dragon king first. So, he looked for it to inspect its strength.

Huh?

"That one for sure! Hmm! Deity Soul stage spirit monster as expected. Then, how can I overcome it? I guess I would have to wait for the seven demons to come here first." Zheng-Fu saw a huge earth dragon lying in the middle of the cave hall, he thought that this one was definitely the king. And when he sensed its energy level, he decided not to make any moves for now.

An hour passed...

Rooaaar!!!

Booooooom!!!

Groooaan!!!

After waiting for an hour, finally, the sound of the explosion from the clash between the seven demons and the earth dragons who previously guarded the entrance sounded out.

Rooaaar!!!

Quaaack!!!

This explosion suddenly woke up the flying dragons who were sleeping peacefully. Including the earth dragon king who was lying in the middle. And when it was awakened, its expression and eyes showed intense fury.

Rooaaar!!!

Groooaan!!!

"Sigh! Finally, they come. So, now I can start my work!" Zheng-Fu said with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.

After thinking for a long time, he finally decided that he would not take over the entire cave. Instead, he would take over all the ores within this cave, and he would take advantage of this chaotic time to suck these ores into his dimensional space.

Whoosh!!!!

Zheng-Fu remained invisible, so his every move was out of sight of any spirit monster dragons. Allowing him to easily move to the target he wanted.

"Damn it! Why are there still earth dragons? So, this place is actually a mine or is it their den!"

"Why are you complaining? Hurry up to help me defeat this dragon!"

"I know! But did you guys hear anything? It's like the sound of the footsteps of a large number of creatures running…"

Rooaaar!!!

Rooaaar!!!

"They have reinforcements!"

The seven demons turned pale as they knew that a large herd of earth dragons was heading toward them. If they had to clash with so many earth dragons, surely no one would survive.

"We must hurry. If we continue to be here, we'll all die!"

"How can we escape? A lot of them are coming here. And these bastards won't give up on us either."

"Quickly use the magic item that Master Elder provided!"

"Are you crazy!? If we use it here, the cave might collapse on us!" the young demon who held some magic item spoke anxiously.

"If you don't use it now, you won't have a chance to use it again. Choose it, you'll die by the cave collapse, or by these spirit monsters!?" the demon leader said reassuringly. It all depended on the decision of the young demon holding the magic item.

"All right! But we must retreat from here first!" He finally decided to use magic items.

"Leave it to me!" said a female demon.

[Explosive Needle Rain Stance Skill]

Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

Booooooom!!! Booooooom!!! Booooooom!!!

Many small needles were thrown out by the female demon. These tiny needles look like ordinary needles. But they were actually cast with a high-explosive spell. Combined with the user's energy compression, their power was extremely intense.

"We've got a safe distance. Hurry up to use it!" When the group leader saw that everyone had retreated to a safe distance, he immediately shouted to the young demon to use the magic item.

"All right!"

Yaaaaaaak!

"Explode now, Blooming Champaca of the Star Moment."

Wooooooosh!!!

Flop!!!

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!!!

Booooooom!!!

Groooaan!!!

When the demon's magic item was activated, in a few breaths it exploded violently. It caused the herd of many earth dragons that were rushing towards the demons to be thrown back. Those that could not escape had their bodies all horribly torn to shreds. The seven demons were also affected by the explosion wave. But it was less than what the earth dragons received.

Damn!

When Zheng-Fu saw what had happened, he lightly cursed. Because this explosion could be called very violent. It cracked the walls of the cave and caused rocks to collapse, blocking the path. In addition, the inner hall was also affected by large and small pieces of rock that fell from the cave ceiling. Fortunately, he was so fast that he was able to escape.

Rooaaar!!!

Of course, it was not just Zheng-Fu who was dissatisfied. The earth dragon spirit monster king was also dissatisfied. Originally, it looked frustrated and dissatisfied, but now it was extremely angry. Its huge body, over ten meters tall, slowly stood upright. Before it walked towards the front of a cave hall that was closed by a large amount of rubble.

Wooooooosh!!!

Booooooom!!!

With a single flick of its tail, the rubble which heaped high, blocking the path suddenly scattered. The earth dragon king continued to flick its tail to open a path to go out and deal with the intruders. And that was a great opportunity for Zheng-Fu to execute his plan.

'I don't know whether to curse or thank them! Anyway, if it goes the way I think when the earth dragon king goes out, I'll have enough time to deal with this ore hall!'

Wooooooosh!!!

Booooooom!!!

Rooaaar!!!

Soon, the collapsed rocks covering the cave were completely removed. And when the path opened, the earth dragon king roared once. Before the huge earth dragon herd that was waiting for it rushed through. As for the king, it turned around and walked to the same place, and crouched down.

Huh!?

'What the hell! Damn it! This is crazy! Why is it like this? Why don't you go out with your underlings? Why are you walking back!?' Zheng-Fu's expression changed when he saw the earth dragon king walking back to its sleeping place. He did not think that it would only get up to open the path and ordered its underlings to go out and deal with them.

'So, what am I going to do? If it's still inside there, it won't be long before it knows my action. Unless I create some kind of situation to make it go out!' Zheng-Fu started to rethink his plan because it did not go according to the original plan.

Ah!

"I have sweet dream flowers and intoxicating stalks!" Zheng-Fu suddenly thought of the two herbs he had in his garden. These two herbs could be ground and blended to concoct the sleeping powder. And it was also more effective for people who were in a frustrated mood.

Wooooooosh!!!

Flop! Flop! Flop!!!

Thinking of that, Zheng-Fu did not hesitate and immediately concocted the sleeping powder. It did not take a long time for him to get the sleeping powder. However, to use it effectively, Zheng-Fu had to be within a mere three meters of the earth dragon king. Otherwise, it might not have any effect at all. And it probably even let the earth dragon king know.

'I've got to get close to it, hopefully, it won't notice me before I reach it!' Zheng-Fu held the sleeping powder carefully in his hand. Then, he slowly stepped on tiptoe and approached the earth dragon king.

Snort! Snort! Snort!

The earth dragon king, who was in an angry and frustrated mood, snorted several times. But even though it was in an angry mood, its eyes drooped. It closed its eyes and reopened them several times like it was sleepy but could not fall asleep.

.

Ten meters...

.

Eight meters...

.

Five meters...

.

Four meters...

.

Three meters…!

.

Snuuuff!

Poof!!!

Rooaaar!!!

When Zheng-Fu was at the sleeping powder's effective range, he immediately flicked it out onto the earth dragon king. And at that moment, the earth dragon took a breath, so the sleeping powder then fully entered its nose. And that caused it to abruptly stand up and roar once. However, it did not take long for its standing body to slowly squat down, and it finally fell to the ground.

Thud!

Zzzzz!!! Zzzzz!!! Zzzzz!!!
