As the night pa*sed, the storm of the matter seemed to have calmed down, or perhaps it was because Qiu Mo was indeed beautiful to look at.
So the matter did not cause too much of a stir, and after the night there seemed to be no one left to even discuss it.
Qiu Mo didn’t intend to leave either, perhaps she had expected this outcome, and apart from her quieter personality, everything else went on as usual.
Lin Ran went straight to the restored pit the next day for retreat, while Han Qiuxian and the others went to the same pit where Lin Ran had been before.
As for Wang En, he was also taken along by Han Qiqi. He would not forget that he had to punish Lin Ran by digging the mine for his revenge.
After this incident, Lin Ran was too lazy to bother with Qiu Mo and the others. After entering the pit, he directly waved his hand to seal the pit and focused on his retreat.
After a delay of three days, plus the previous two months, Lin Ran had already spent more than two months inside the pit.
If he was unable to make any progress on the flash eels, Lin Ran was afraid that he would also go crazy.
After the experience of seeing the red-backed lightning eel last time, Lin Ran wasn’t concentrating on two things this time, as he had already made great progress in his sword dao, so he could put it aside for now.
He quickly sealed the small hole in the rock wall, leaving only one exit, and then pressed his hands all over the rock wall.
This time, Lin Ran not only sent his true qi in, but also his divine sense into it.
These lightning eels were very vigilant, so Lin Ran was prepared to hide his divine sense in advance to avoid being discovered by the lightning eels.
The true qi was sent in very deep, while Lin Ran’s divine sense only penetrated about ten metres into the rock layer, and then he hid himself and waited patiently.
After five days in a row, the number of eels inside the rock wall increased significantly, and there were all kinds of eels, big and small, but Lin Ran never saw any red-backed eels again.
But compared to the previous cave, the situation here was much better, and there were significantly more lightning eels in the rock wall, which seemed to give Lin Ran some hope.
“Has that red and white lightning eel from last time sensed the danger and hid?”
After another five days, the ten days of persistence had made Lin Ran a little tired and ready to stop and rest.
But the fact that he never saw the red-backed eel made him a little discouraged.
However, just as Lin Ran was about to stop and rest, the place where his divine sense had invaded suddenly flashed red and a red-backed lightning eel burst out.
Lin Ran could see clearly that the red-backed eel was identical to the one he had seen last time, both in size and appearance.
The red-backed lightning eel seemed to have been frightened by the commotion last time and was hiding in one of the small holes, hesitating to come out, as if it was afraid that it would be caught once it came out.
Lin Ran red easily found it, and immediately dared not move, not even daring to breathe a breath, and just waited patiently.
After a full hour had pa*sed, the red-backed shining eel saw that there really didn’t seem to be any danger around, and only then did it tentatively burst out of the small hole, and then leisurely burrowed towards the other side.
Lin Ran held back the excitement in his heart and waited until the red-backed eel was about to disappear out of sight before he let his divine sense follow it.
Due to the distance, the red-backed lightning eel didn’t notice anyone staring at it as it bored its way towards the front.
Lin Ran followed behind him and soon discovered a problem.
The small holes within this rock wall were like a maze, but the red-backed lightning eel was very nimble and even seemed to know where it was going, very purposeful.
Lin Ran was shocked at the sight, and continued to follow with a sense of calm and excitement.
Last time when he was chasing this red-backed eel, Lin Ran had tried it before, but his divine sense could only penetrate a distance of about a hundred meters behind the rock wall, once it exceeded a hundred meters his divine sense would be uncontrollable and he would not be able to investigate.
At this point he had followed the red-backed lightning eel almost 70 or 80 metres into the rock wall.
The place where he found it at the beginning was only about ten metres from the rock wall, but at this moment the red-backed lightning eel had already penetrated almost seventy to eighty metres behind the rock wall, which made Lin Ran a little puzzled.
The red-backed lightning eel fed on the spiritual stones in the rock layer, so it was reasonable to say that it could feed wherever it was, and the closer it was to the outside, the more true qi it had, so it should have been used to staying close to the rock layer.
But now how did it run so far away.
As he saw the distance getting deeper and deeper, Lin Ran’s divine sense felt a hint of pressure when suddenly the red-backed lightning eel in front of him finally came to a halt.
Lin Ran followed him, and when he got close to the red-backed eel, he was shocked.
He saw that in front of the red-backed eel, a hollow had appeared.
Inside the hollow, there were flickering figures, and there was actually a large number of lightning eels in a dense ma*s.
There were even a dozen of them, all of them red-backed lightning eels.
“Whoosh!”
The red-backed lightning eel that Lin Ran followed entered the space in front of him in a flash.
Lin Ran was busy reaching the end of the small hole and looked inside.
The whole person froze at this look.
At the end of the small hollow, there was a hollow about the size of a basketball court.
There must have been tens of thousands of lightning eels crisscrossing each other in the hole.
Lin Ran took a closer look and found that the number of red-backed lightning eels alone was more than a hundred.
Now that he could see it clearly, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.
The rock walls around the entire space were densely packed with small holes, just like a beehive. Fortunately, Lin Ran was not densely-phobic, otherwise he would have fainted after just one look.
After surveying the surrounding rock walls, Lin Ran then looked inside the space.
At this moment, he could only see that in the centre of the space, there was a huge sphere of ten metres high on the ground.
This sphere seemed to have been formed by the rock wall, as the entire body was made of rocks, but Lin Ran only took a glance at it and realised that these rocks were actually a type of ore.
It just had a charred appearance, and it looked very bizarre, as if a particularly high temperature had been used to melt away the surrounding rock walls and then build a huge sphere.
At this moment, countless lightning eels were all around this sphere, constantly blasting it with their beast thunder, not knowing what they were doing!
But Lin Ran could see it clearly, after the lightning eels’ beast thunder touched the sphere, they immediately swam around the surface of the sphere and then entered it.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran couldn’t help but gulp.
If he replaced that mysterious sphere with himself and allowed these lightning eels to attack, wouldn’t his plan to quench his body with beast thunder come true easily!
“No I’ll have to think long and hard about it!”
Lin Ran immediately withdrew his divine sense so as not to disturb these lightning eels.
Today’s discovery had given him hope, but the more hope he had, the more he warned himself that he must not rush, once he alerted the snakes his plan to quench his body with beast thunder would be abandoned.
