C388 Harvest
What happened next made Lin Long believe that his luck was extremely good, because even after going through the entire forest and obtaining two hundred pieces of Purple Crystal mine, he still had not run into a single fierce beast.
The only pity was that this forest wasn't very large, otherwise there wouldn't be just two hundred purple crystal mines.
Obviously, this forest was a very secretive place within a mystic realm that no one had ever come to before. Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be so many amethyst mines, so why there weren't any vicious beasts was unknown.
After acquiring all these Purple Crystal mines, Lin Long had been thinking of leaving this place. Only, to his helplessness, after going through the entire forest, he did not find any runic formations that could leave this place.
The only Rune Circle was the one that came from the desert, and once he passed through the Rune Circle, he would inevitably return to the desert. Naturally, Lin Long wouldn't do that.
Was he going to be trapped in the forest? This was something that Lin Long did not want to see. In that case, no matter how many Purple Crystal mines he obtained, it would be useless.
Lin Long would naturally not wait for death, so he continued to search the forest for a possible way out.
Sure enough, hard work paid off. After an hour, Lin Long found a cave amidst a pile of boulders.
After entering the cave, Lin Long's eyes lit up even more, because the cave did not seem to be formed naturally, but had been tidied up manually.
The cave was not big and could only be passed by one person. The walls of the cave were all made of stone and were extremely dry.
After walking along the curved tunnel for the time it took to make a cup of tea, a ray of light suddenly came from the front of the originally dark cavern.
This meant that they had reached the exit of the cave.
Very quickly, Lin Long arrived at the place where the light shone in. He discovered that there was a huge rock blocking the entrance of the cave, and only a small crack allowed for light to penetrate into the cave.
After that, Lin Long used all his might to push open a crack on the huge boulder.
When he stuck his body out of the cave hole, Lin Long found himself on top of a cliff that was as sharp as a knife. He carefully looked around, and his face revealed a happy expression.
This was because the mountain in front of them was the one that they had entered the secret realm on.
However, the place he came out from wasn't the same side of the mountain. He thought that after going around it for so long, he had arrived at the other side of the mountain.
Immediately, Lin Long no longer hesitated and crawled out of the cave, climbing down the cliff.
After some effort, he reached the bottom of the cliff. Raising his head, he saw that the cave entrance was not very obvious. It was clearly because of this that the people in the tribe did not notice that there was another way to enter the secret realm.
After he memorized the location of the cave entrance, Lin Long started to walk toward the belly of the mountain in a specific direction.

Along with flashes of white light, the youths that entered the secret realm returned to the outside one by one.
Seeing so many people return, the expressions of those waiting outside the secret realm changed. This was because compared to the past, it was obvious that a large number of people had left earlier.
"What happened? Why did you guys come out so quickly?" An elder quickly asked.
One of the youths that came out first said with a sad face, "There are too many beasts on the second map. We can't hold on much longer."
"How long have you been on the second map?"
"Let's say four hours."
"There are so many vicious beasts in four hours that you all have no choice but to escape. How is this possible?" What exactly happened inside? "
Everyone had an expression of disbelief.
"Nothing happened, it's just that there was an inexplicable increase in the number of vicious beasts." Someone shook his head.
"However, although the time is short, the amount of amethyst ore we have is no less than in the past."1
"Really? Take it out and take a look." Hearing this, the people outside let out a sigh of relief.
The reason they let these youths enter the mystic realm was to obtain the amethyst mine. It would be good if they could achieve their goal.
The people who came out took out the amethyst mine they had obtained. Seeing that the number of amethyst mines they took out was the same as before, the elders outside finally let go of the worry in their hearts.
At this moment, there were four wooden desks in front of everyone. They were the places where the four families stored the crystals. This was to make it easier to count and compare.
The youths that came out walked up to the tables of their clans and then placed the amethyst mines they had obtained onto the tables. The amount they had obtained was then counted by the specialized personnel of the tribe.
In the following period of time, there were also intermittent exits from the secret realm.
In this process, other than counting the number of purple crystal mines, there were naturally some people that came to count the number of people. As for who encountered an accident inside, those that came out would report it to the counting of the elders of the clan.
After a period of time, there seemed to be no one coming out of the secret plane. At this time, the person in charge of the statistics began to report.
The clan members of the various clans all had some people fall within the secret realm, and some people's lives were still unknown. However, there weren't many of them, so everyone was relieved.
Every year, a lot of people who entered the tribe would die. The people in the tribe were used to it.
Naturally, everyone could not help but feel a bit sad and disappointed. After all, those who had fallen or those whose circumstances were unknown were their relatives.
Of course, after today, the tribe would find a more suitable time to mourn these people.
According to the description of the people who came out, there were a lot of fierce beasts inside. Those who didn't come out in time were most likely dead, so the people no longer held any hope of survival for those who went missing.
"Lin Long still hasn't come out?" After looking carefully at the people, Ninth Uncle could not help but ask the person in charge of statistics in his family.
"He didn't come out." The man with the statistics shook his head.
Ninth Uncle saw that Liu Ruolan was obviously listening attentively to the two of them, and after hearing the statistics, her face became obviously ugly, as tears immediately rolled down her face.
Then she bent down and whimpered.
Seeing this scene, Ninth Uncle could not help but shake his head and sigh.
No matter who it was, there was a possibility of death upon entering the secret realm. The only thing Ninth Uncle could do was sigh dejectedly.
Seeing that Lin Long did not appear, Liu Zong, who was not far away, had tears welling up in his eyes.
After counting the people and paying a brief tribute to the people who had passed away, the people of the tribe shifted their gazes to the four tables.
Counting the amethyst mines for the ranking was something which he had to do.
At this time, the members of the Lu Family all had smiles on their faces, because they had the most purple crystal mines on their table, even if Lu Yangyu was unlucky and did not manage to enter the second map.
On the other hand, the Liu Family warriors had the most unsightly expressions on their faces because they had the least amount of Purple Crystal mines.
"Hehe, Ol 'Nine, how about it. I told you, even if our Lu Family lets you Yang Yu, you're still in last place. Your Liu Family can't even compete with our Lu Family." Lu Bing said proudly.
He thought that losing Lu Yangyu would affect the Lu Family's ranking, but he never expected that the Lu Family would still be number 1.
Hearing Lu Bing's blatant taunts, the Liu Family members' faces turned even uglier. However, what could they do now?
"Take it!" Ninth Uncle's face darkened as he grabbed ten pieces of Purple Crystal mine and threw them at Lu Bing.
"Hehe, then I'll accept it." Lu Bing accepted it without any hesitation.
