Mo Yu was stunned after hearing Purple Fire's roar and understanding its meaning.
Although Purple Fire was a third-order magical beast and the son of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, his intelligence was only slightly better than that of first and second-order magical beasts, but still far inferior to humans.
He himself hadn't discovered any secrets in this valley, so what could Purple Fire have found?
As for whether Purple Fire would betray or deceive him? That was impossible. The Divine Soul Imprint was an extremely overbearing master-servant contract. On the continent of Mo Yu's previous life, this was the exclusive secret technique of the number one Beast Taming sect, and he had only managed to learn it after immense effort and surviving numerous near-death experiences.
The Divine Soul Imprint on Purple Fire's Demonic Beast Soul could not be removed unless Mo Yu personally lifted it. Even a Dou Zong expert would be powerless.
This was also because Mo Yu's current strength was too weak, and his Soul Power was only comparable to a Three-Rank Alchemist. In the future, when his Soul Power advanced to the sixth or seventh rank, even a Dou Zun or even a Dou Sheng would likely be unable to erase it.
Forcibly erasing it would only destroy the Demonic Beast Soul of the contracted Demonic Beast, causing irreparable damage.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly seemed to understand. Since Purple Fire couldn't lie to him, could the secret of this valley be related to Demonic Beasts?
The more he thought about it, the more sense it made. After all, this was the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the lair of Demonic Beasts, so it wasn't strange for Purple Fire to sense something.
"Mo Yu, what's wrong with Purple Fire?"
Just as Mo Yu was about to move towards Purple Fire, Xiao Yi Xian also heard the roar from deep within the valley. Her beautiful eyes looked there curiously, and she came over to inquire.
Being in the same valley for some time, Xiao Yi Xian had naturally seen Mo Yu's Demonic Beast. Her beautiful eyes were filled with admiration for the young man who, with Dou Shi strength, could control a third-order magical beast.
"It's nothing serious. It seems this little fellow, Purple Fire, discovered some secret deep in the valley. That roar just now was to notify me to go take a look," Mo Yu explained with a light chuckle.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes. She then covered her rosy little mouth and chuckled, "Purple Fire shouldn't be a lion; he should be a dog. His nose is even more sensitive than a dog's.
Although I've stayed in the valley for a while, I haven't been to the deeper parts. Perhaps Purple Fire truly found something."
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Mo Yu, who had already vaguely guessed, naturally nodded. He took Xiao Yi Xian's jade hand and quickly headed deeper into the valley.
Being led by Mo Yu's hand, a blush immediately appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's face. However, when she tried to pull back twice and found that the young man's grip tightened, she gave up struggling and shyly lowered her head.
Xiao Yi Xian also understood that this was Mo Yu's kindness. Although her injuries had recovered much better these past few days, her physical condition was still very weak.
Holding Xiao Yi Xian's hand, Mo Yu and she arrived at the depths of the valley. From a distance, they saw Purple Fire digging at something in a deep pit.
"Roar!"
Seeing Mo Yu's figure, Purple Fire roared happily, then flapped his wings and quickly flew to Mo Yu's side, excitedly pointing at the deep pit with his Demonic Beast claw.
"Oh? Is there some secret in there?"
Mo Yu and Xiao Yi Xian exchanged glances. Although Purple Fire couldn't speak, his meaning seemed understandable to anyone.
"Let's go take a look." Mo Yu patted Purple Fire's wing, then picked up Xiao Yi Xian by the waist, and with a light leap, stood steadily on Purple Fire's back.
Although there was still some distance to the deep pit, under Purple Fire's rapid flight, they reached their destination in just a few breaths.
"What a big pit…" Mo Yu gently set Xiao Yi Xian down. The latter looked at the large pit, which was tens of feet in diameter, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
It didn't seem like much from a distance, but upon closer inspection, they realized the immense size of the deep pit.
Mo Yu also looked curiously at the deep pit before him, as if a meteor had fallen, creating a giant pit tens of feet long in the ground.
"Roar!"
Just as Mo Yu was observing curiously, Purple Fire suddenly let out a soft roar and then moved to the right side of the deep pit. His Demonic Beast claws quickly dug at the ground, and under Mo Yu and Xiao Yi Xian's curious gazes, a huge, jade-like finger bone suddenly emerged.
"What is this?"
Seeing this, Mo Yu's eyes lit up. He pulled Xiao Yi Xian and lightly leaped to where the huge finger bone was.
"What a large finger bone. It doesn't look like a human's; it looks like a Demonic Beast's…" Xiao Yi Xian said with a shocked expression, gently caressing the huge white jade finger bone, which was as long as a human leg.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu nodded. After carefully examining this extraordinary Demonic Beast finger bone, he then looked past it at the entire deep pit, a faint gleam flashing in his eyes. If he guessed correctly, an incredibly massive Demonic Beast must be buried beneath this deep pit!
Looking at this finger bone, which was as white and flawless as jade, and seemed to contain some kind of violent energy, it could be inferred that this Demonic Beast's strength in life was certainly not weak; at least a sixth-order or even Seventh-Order Magical Beast!
No wonder the Heaven and Earth energy in this valley was so abundant. It was likely that this Demonic Beast encountered some powerful enemy in its lifetime and was killed here, its powerful physical body directly smashing a large pit into the ground.
Countless years passed, and the Demonic Beast's flesh and blood gradually decayed, and its body was slowly buried. However, the powerful energy contained within the Demonic Beast caused this valley to be filled with pure Heaven and Earth energy.
Discovering this secret of the valley, Mo Yu couldn't help but smile. He then looked at the deep pit and chuckled, "It seems the secret is underground. Dig!"
"Dig?" Hearing Mo Yu's words and looking at the giant pit, which was tens of feet deep, Xiao Yi Xian was slightly stunned. She looked at Mo Yu with astonished eyes for a while before slowly saying, "How long will it take for the two of us to dig such a big pit?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu shook his head, then chuckled as he looked at Purple Fire beside him, "It's not for the two of us to dig; it's for him to dig."
"Purple Fire?" Seeing where Mo Yu was pointing, Xiao Yi Xian lightly covered her rosy little mouth and chuckled, "Purple Fire found this thing, and now he's the one doing the work. You're too good to him."
"However, to dig this, Blue Eagle can also be called over." After speaking, Xiao Yi Xian took out the flute from her bosom and began to summon her Demonic Beast, Blue Hawk.
Hearing the first half of Xiao Yi Xian's sentence, Mo Yu felt a slight pang of guilt towards Purple Fire. However, when he saw that Xiao Yi Xian was actually bringing her own Demonic Beast to dig, he couldn't help but lament that the one best at 'pitting' Demonic Beasts was still the master.
So, under the strenuous efforts of Purple Fire and Blue Eagle, these two little digging experts, the Demonic Beast corpse buried beneath the deep pit finally saw the light of day two hours later.
And Mo Yu and Xiao Yi Xian also closely watched the Demonic Beast skeleton slowly reveal its true form.
When they clearly saw the true appearance of the beast skeleton, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but cover her rosy little mouth in surprise. Even Mo Yu looked at the scene before him with a solemn expression.
The Demonic Beast's body was not small, measuring a full eight to nine meters long, but it had been dead for a long time, and its flesh and blood were in a state of decay.
The most striking features were the pair of huge wings, now white bones, and the massive, lion-like beast head, also bone. On top of the beast head, there were two spiraled horns, one on each side, which had already begun to decay. The beast head and the wings were quite peculiar, like jade, emitting a faint glow. Anyone with discerning eyes would know that within this beast head, there was still some strange energy contained.
"This is… a Amethyst Winged Lion King with two horns?"
