Chapter 2468 Armored Beasts


    Jared, xseed, and Zelda followed behind, with Zelda clinging to Jared closely.


    Along the way, xseed''s mouth watered at the suggestive sight.


    Soon, they arrived at the foot of a towering mountain. Jared sensed a different aura emanating from


    within this mountain range, unlike the spiritual energy or the sword energy he had encountered before.


    Hammerhead noticed Jared''s odd demeanor and smiled slightly. “This is Ferric Mountain. It is rich with


    spirit ores at its core, and it was thanks to these spirit ores that Divine Smithing Sect was able to craft


    various divine weapons. Without these spirit ores, even with our superior smithing techniques, we


    would not be able to create divine weapons. As the saying goes, one can''t make bricks without straw.


    The spirit ores in Ferric Mountain are extremely difficult to mine. Even up until the leader of Divine


    Smithing Sect was captured by Fire Incineration Sect, we hadn''t been able to extract much. Otherwise,


    Divine Smithing Sect would have produced even more divine weapons,” Hammerhead exined as he


    led Jared and the others up Ferric Mountain.


    Soon, they reached a pitch-ck mine entrance on Ferric Mountain. The entrance was enormous, and


    when standing there, the distinct aura became even more concentrated.


    Surrounding the entrance were scattered stones that were visibly different from the others. Each of


    these stones emitted a faint and various-colored light, albeit very weak.


    Jared picked up one of the stones casually, and a surge of energy entered his body, causing the


    stone''s light to dim, turning it into an ordinary stone.


    “These are spirit ores. Each type of spirit ore is unique and is required for smithing different divine


    weapons,” Hammerhead rified. “The ores discarded hereck sufficient Smithing Force and are thus


    unsuitable for weapon crafting.”


    Jared observed the spirit ores. If they were brought to the mundane world, they would be incredibly


    valuable. However, in the eyes of Divine Smithing Sect, they were nothing but trash.


    Roar!


    Suddenly, a tremendous roar echoed from within the mine, startling Jared and the others.


    “D*mn, why are there demon beasts here?” xseed eximed in surprise.


    Furrowing his brows, Jared realized that he had only sensed Smithing Force emanating from the spirit


    ores in the mine, not the presence of demon beasts.


    It would be dangerous to venture in without caution.


    Upon hearing the roar, a look of astonishment and delight shed across Hammerhead''s eyes. “After


    more than ten years, there are still surviving armored beasts in the mine?”


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Having said that, Hammerhead rushed toward the mine urgently, followed closely by Jared and the


    others.


    Inside the mine, they spotted several figures lying on the ground not far from the entrance, wriggling.


    Roar!


    Another roar echoed inside the mine.


    After Hammerhead released several beams of light, Jared and the others finally managed to see


    clearly. There were several armored beasts lying on the ground, covered in scales. However, the once


    golden scales had now be dull andckluster.


    These armored beasts were emaciated, and their auras extremely weak. The previous roar had likely


    exhausted theirst remaining strength.


    Upon seeing the armored beasts before them, Jared and xseed were stumped.


    Meanwhile, Hammerhead disyed a mixture of shock and tenderness, gently crouching down to


    stroke the head of one of the armored beasts.


    “After more than ten years, I can''t believe you guys are still alive. It''s a miracle, an absolute miracle!”


    Tears welled up in Hammerhead''s eyes.
