Chapter 605: Treasure Seeking Mouse

Xiang Shaoyun left the Dragon Phoenix Academy with Shou Xie and company. News of his departure quickly spread to a few core disciples of the academy. Shortly after, a considerable number of people set off after Xiang Shaoyun's group. Of course, Xiang Shaoyun and company were still unaware of it and were traveling east.

The academy was located within the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, surrounded on all sides by mountains. According to legend, the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range was once home to dragons and phoenixes. Not many people knew if the legends were true.

A large number of natural treasures could be found within the mountain range, as well as many different veins of ore. One could say the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range was a natural land of treasures. Of course, it also contained numerous dangers. After all, this was demon territory, and numerous breeds of demons filled the mountain range.

In fact, that was obvious from what the disciples encountered during the first round of their entrance test. Exploring the mountain range without sufficient strength would cause one to pay with one's life.

There were 15 people in Xiang Shaoyun's party. Apart from Xiang Shaoyun, Tang Longfei, Lady Shura, and Ning Wenhuang, the others were the followers of Shou Xie, Yang Gang, and Zhong Xia, and some other disciples the three had invited.

He was a friend of Zhong Xia, and they had invited him quite a while ago to work together during the mission. After all, traversing the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range was extremely dangerous. Without an expert or two with them, they would have a hard time completing the mission.

Shou Xie, Yan Gang, and Zhong Xia had not reached the Dragon Ascension Realm. Even though they had Dragon Ascension Realm followers, the combat prowess of their followers was still incomparable to the geniuses on the Jiao Luan List. That was the main reason they had invited Li Haonan.

Li Haonan was a second-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator who cultivated the rare water and wood powers. He was against Xiang Shaoyun's group joining them. After all, even if they knew the rough location of the dragon liquid, it was still unknown how much dragon liquid they could find. The bigger the group, the more people they had to share the harvest with, which was something he did not wish to see.

But since Shou Xie was the leader of the expedition and the only person who knew the location of the dragon liquid, Li Haonan had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction. One should not look down on Shou Xie just
