Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 890: Chapter 566: Forest Mine_2

When they had set out, there were two people and one wolf. But when they returned, there were three people. Rita and Reece, who were full of anticipation but also somewhat puzzled, didn’t have time to react.

Red Night was the first to step forward and report respectfully, “Lord, we three have found traces of Lord Hode!”

After Red Night spoke, Taylor and Bianca White also nodded in agreement.

“That’s great!”

Upon hearing this, the brother and sister duo by Leo Ray’s side couldn’t help but cheer and jump with joy. Their faces were full of excitement, and they instantly put aside their doubts about the sudden appearance of Bianca White.

“Well done.”

With a faint smile, Leo Ray nodded slightly and motioned for the Dragon Clan woman in front of him to continue.

“Lord, through our energy sensing, we did not detect any tier 4 powerhouses, but we did detect weak energy fluctuations from an unknown source in this valley.”

Red Night continued with a dignified and respectful tone, “Due to the extremely complex terrain in the mountains and the weak energy fluctuations from the unknown source appearing and disappearing intermittently, it was very difficult to catch.

Thanks to Bianca White’s sense of smell, we were able to find the exact direction of the weak energy fluctuations.”

“Red Night, you’re too kind— I only found a rough direction.”

Upon hearing this, Bianca White smiled shyly and removed the illusion mask from her face.

It was only when Rita and Reece saw the fluffy ears on Bianca White’s head that they both widened their eyes and realized what was going on.

It turns out that there’s actually a member of the usually hostile Snow Wolf Clan accompanying their lord!

“If they found out Red Night was actually a Dragon Clan member, they probably would’ve fainted on the spot.”

Leo Ray helplessly chuckled and nodded slightly, motioning for Red Night and the others to continue reporting.

“My Lord, in short, after a thorough search, we finally found an abandoned mine among the hills!”

As she spoke, Red Night pointed to the western peaks where the sun had just set.

At this moment, the two moons quietly appeared in the sky, and the night was completely dark. One could vaguely see that the area was covered by lush vegetation and a forest.

“My Lord, at the entrance of the long-abandoned mine, I actually detected a faint scent of Lord Hode!”

On the other side, Bianca White swayed her white tail and echoed, “Moreover, there were only footprints inside the cave, and they matched up!”

“Very well. There’s no time to lose. Let’s go take a look ourselves.”

After taking a deep, slightly chilly breath of night air, Leo Ray gestured with his hand and began to stride forward.

It didn’t take long.

Under the guidance of Red Night and the others, Leo Ray and his subordinates arrived at the entrance of the mine.

Upon closer observation, the entrance was not located on a cliffside but rather in a depression covered with tall weeds, leading straight to the underground.

The broken minecart tracks at the entrance were completely covered by the surrounding vegetation.

Furthermore, the area in front of the mine was also filled with shrubs. If one didn’t search carefully, it would be difficult to find the entrance.

“I never expected that there would be such a hidden, abandoned mine in this location.”

Rita couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement as she cleared the weeds blocking their path for Leo Ray.

“No wonder we didn’t discover anything before, even though you guys were searching,” Leo Ray said, chuckling wryly. “Let’s go in and take a look.”

After that, they left Serena Clark, Stella Clark, Abigail, and Amelia at the entrance.

Then, Leo Ray led Taylor, Red Night, Ariel Watson, Burt, Joshua, Gideon Black, Scarlett, Bianca White, Mason Banks, and the sibling duo Rita and Reece—a total of eleven subordinates—into the underground mine.

Following the not-so-steep downward path, they easily crossed over the nearly one-meter-high shrubs. As Leo Ray entered the mine, he noticed that the environment looked quite normal. He could even see traces of light crystal stones embedded in the sturdy walls on either side.However, there was a strange energy fluctuation faintly lingering in the air.

According to Leo Ray’s perception experience during this period, it could be easily analyzed.

This peculiar energy fluctuation had a slow frequency and no waves, giving off a desolate and ancient sensation. It was obviously not emitted by any living being.

“My lord, what I and Gideon sensed is this peculiar energy fluctuation. I believe Lord Hode’s disappearance must be related to it in some way,” said Taylor, bowing respectfully toward Leo Ray.

“I see, so my father must have accidentally noticed the strange energy fluctuations nearby and came to investigate, only to encounter something unknown,” said Rita thoughtfully, nodding as she muttered.

“In any case, everyone should be cautious. No one knows what will happen ahead.”

Under the illumination of Ariel’s magic sphere, Leo Ray walked through the narrow entrance and the wide inner tunnel, his eyes narrowed as he observed everything ahead.

After Leo Ray spoke, the surroundings immediately quieted down, leaving only the sound of footsteps and the faint weird energy fluctuation echoing in the empty passage.

After about five or six minutes of walking, a pitch-black mine hall appeared before the twelve of them.

Accompanied by Ariel’s dancing fingers, the magic spheres scattered around illuminated the dark mine hall as if it were daytime.

At a glance, the place was incredibly spacious, at least three hundred square meters. It was filled with debris and rusty pickaxes, making it look extremely chaotic.

At the same time, Leo Ray noticed something odd.

Unlike the other mines he had visited, this place was a mess, but there were no feces or bones of demon beasts, nor any spider webs. It was somewhat puzzling.

Moreover, what was even more baffling was that there were no other passages in the mine hall, and the metal tracks leading inside abruptly ended at the end of the hall. It was evident that they had not continued laying the tracks.

“My lord, this is not an abandoned mine, but a dead hole that ceased excavation before it was even exploited,” said Rita, who had also noticed this. Her delicate face revealed a surprised expression as she continued: “And judging by the tracks, this place has been deserted for at least a century…”

“A dead hole? What could have caused the mine to stop being exploited back then?”Reece asked, a puzzled expression on his face.

Leo Ray looked equally thoughtful as he continued to observe the surroundings.

“My Lord, come and see. The single set of footprints that had been leading in suddenly disappeared here!” Bianca White’s surprised voice called out from the end of the hall.

“I’ll be right there.”

At her call, Leo Ray, accompanied by Taylor, immediately began to move.

Upon close inspection, Leo Ray saw that, indeed, there were distinct footprints that abruptly stopped at that spot as if the person had been lifted away by a giant.

When they had just entered the cave, Rita and Reece had excitedly confirmed that the footprints were left by Marquis Hode based on the texture and size of the shoe prints.

“My lord, it seems that my father disappeared right here!” Rita’s crisp voice sounded next to Leo Ray.

“That’s right, the strange energy fluctuations and the sudden disappearance of the footprints…” Leo Ray thoughtfully nodded, then turned to Bianca and asked, “What about the smell…?”

However, before he could finish his question, he was shocked to realize that the Snow Wolf Clan woman who had just been by his side was now completely gone.
