我家哥哥宠妹如命

Chapter 278 - 278 Qian Yuan’s Request



Therefore, Ye Xuan didn’t want to disturb Yi Chengrui and the others, which would inevitably attract attention. Instead, he chose to enter the monster forest directly.

Demonic beasts were the most sensitive to human auras. They had not arrived for long when they heard rustling sounds from the grass.

A small head popped out when Shen Changling was shocked, and its bean-sized eyes flickered with a human-like light. It nodded at Ye Xuan as a greeting.

This was a fourth-rank demonic beast, an earth-burrowing gopher. Although its strength was not high, it was extremely sensitive to auras. Because of its timid nature, it was extremely rare. However, the one in front of them seemed to be quite bold.

Shen Changling still didn’t understand what the earth-burrowing gopher wanted to do when Ye Xuan’s voice came behind him. “Let’s follow it.”

Seeing that Ye Xuan and Shen Changling had caught up, the earth-burrowing gopher continued to move forward. It wasn’t fast, but it was too small and was easily covered by the huge plants next to it.

Fortunately, cultivators had sharp senses. With their vision, it was not difficult to find the earth-burrowing gopher. Moreover, if it saw that the two of them were too far behind, the earth-burrowing gopher would stop.

Shen Changling sighed. “This little thing is not simple. It’s like a human.”

It wasn’t the first time the two of them had entered the demonic beasts’ forest. Still, the dim environment, the same scenery, and the occasional fog made it extremely difficult to figure out the direction of this place.

The earth-burrowing gopher led the two of them around. They might get lost here if it wasn’t for it leading the way.

After an unknown time, the shadow of a building finally appeared in front of them. It had a strong primitive flavor and a wild and rough style. An intense pressure struck them.

Ye Xuan also saw a few familiar great demons who were Qian Yuan’s confidants. Even though these demonic beasts didn’t like to deal with humans, they were very respectful to Ye Xuan and didn’t dare to show any disrespect.

In the entire monster forest, almost no monster didn’t know about the relationship between Qian Yuan and Ye Xuan. “My Lord has something to do. Please wait for a moment.”

Qian Yuan would definitely come out immediately if it were in the past. After all, the matter between Changping and Jingdou had already been resolved, and there was nothing to worry about. The current situation undoubtedly proved that the matter Qian Yuan had come to find him for was not simple.

After an unknown time, Qian Yuan finally arrived. He revealed an apologetic smile. “I’ve made the two of you wait a long time.”

After dismissing the other miscellaneous people, Qian Yuan subconsciously glanced at Shen Changling, seemingly a little hesitant.

Ye Xuan saw his concern and immediately said, “It’s alright. If you have something to say, say it. Daoist Shen is not an outsider.”

Qian Yuan had met Shen Changling a few times and knew that Ye Xuan was telling the truth. Besides, he also believed in Ye Xuan’s judgment of people.

“Then, I’ll get straight to the point. I invited you here today because I have a favor to ask of you,” Qian Yuan said.

Qian Yuan had already made this very clear in the text message, but what made Ye Xuan wonder was what kind of matter could make Qian Yuan, a great demon of high cultivation level, ask for help.

One had to know that its current strength could be said to be advancing at a tremendous pace. Moreover, since its bloodline was purified, Qian Yuan had also returned to the true dragon race. The heavens blessed him, and his cultivation was even more effective even with half the effort. What else was there for it to be so serious about?

“I hope you can help me explore a cave.”

When Qian Yuan expressed his intention, Ye Xuan was a little surprised. “It’s just an exploration of the cave. Why do you have to be so worried about it?”

Qian Yuan could not help but reveal a bitter smile. “If only it were just a simple cave…”

Based on Qian Yuan’s current strength, an ordinary cave was as simple as drinking water. Even if it was a cave of the almighty level, he could enter and exit it freely. There was nothing that could pose a problem to him, so there was no need for him to help.

“I know you must have a lot of doubts now, but I can’t put my finger on that cave. It gave me a strange feeling, so I couldn’t help but think of you.”

It turned out that Qian Yuan had accidentally discovered a cave. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary cave, so he had not taken it to heart. After all, the aura emanating from the cave was fragile, and it did not seem dangerous, so Qian Yuan let it be.

However, according to the news from his subordinates, many demonic beasts had disappeared for no reason recently. After Qian Yuan’s investigation, he discovered that these demonic beasts had suddenly disappeared near the cave.

It was said that they had to see the person if they were alive. If they were dead, they had to see the corpse. However, those demonic beasts didn’t even leave a corpse. Qian Yuan couldn’t help but be suspicious. He followed the clues, and all kinds of clues pointed to that cave.

Qian Yuan thought it wouldn’t be difficult, but the cave was strange. To prevent any danger, it had to trouble Ye Xuan.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that there were too many missing demonic beasts, and even the big demons I sent out were missing, I wouldn’t have bothered you.”

This time, it was Ye Xuan and Shen Changling’s turn to be surprised. “I’m curious since even you feel it’s a little tricky. Where is this cave?”

“I’m sure you’ve been there before. It’s where the bone dragon was.”

Ye Xuan and Shen Changling couldn’t help but look at each other. “Could it be related to the bone dragon?”

Qian Yuan sighed. “In that cave, I felt like something was restricting my power, so I didn’t dare to act rashly.”

As demonic beasts, they were greatly restricted. Perhaps it would be better if it was a human, but Qian Yuan didn’t trust other humans. After thinking about it, only Ye Xuan could help him.
