"Hot spring, I really didn't expect there to be a hot spring on this mountain top." Old Wang was so excited that he almost took off his clothes and jumped into the well to take a bath, but judging from the temperature of the water, it's not low at all. If you jump in, you'll definitely end up like a hairless pig.

  The well water is still clear, but the big chain tied to a short stone pillar next to it is quite strange, with a thickness similar to that of a person's wrist.

  "Why don't we pull it out and take a look?" Chaozi looked at the chain and had an urge to pull it out, actually everyone else had the same idea, he just said it out loud.

  Talk is cheap. The chain was really heavy, it took several people to lift it together, and the part that had been soaking in water was still scalding hot, so they had to wait for it to cool down before continuing.

  Zhe Luo and Old Wang were in charge of setting up camp, they planned to spend the night on the mountain top, while the others did some physical labor there.

  It's unknown what the reason is, but the part of the chain that has been pulled up is already 70 or 80 meters long, and it's piled high on the ground, yet still far from seeing the end, and it's also very heavy, requiring the combined strength of all five of them. The only slight change is that the color of the well water is gradually becoming somewhat murky, unlike its original clarity.

  When the chain was pulled for about 100 meters, almost everyone's hands were blistered. No one knew how long this thing was. Dinner was already ready on the other side, and they planned to eat dinner before pulling again.

  This well is like a place full of magic, everyone can't wait to know what's at the other end of the chain, and even during meals, they discuss this issue.

  Old Wang said that the other end of the chain might be a box or something, which could contain the treasures of their ancestors, and it's very likely what they're looking for.

  Chaozi thought that if it was placed in such a deep hot spring, the treasure would be ruined, and it must have been used to tie up some kind of divine beast before.

  Cha Wenbin thought that since this was the first important clue they had discovered here, they should pull it up and take a look. However, he believed that what they were standing on right now was actually a volcano, and only volcanoes could have hot springs. This lotus-shaped mountain range looked like an ancient cauldron, with the central flower bud able to stay green all year round due to the heat provided by the volcano, creating a paradise on earth with a hint of a utopian atmosphere.

  After finishing dinner, they continued to work. Except for Zhe Luo, who was in charge of lighting, everyone else rolled up their sleeves and continued to pull. The more they pulled, the less confident they became. The chain was being pulled out continuously, and the surrounding area was already starting to be unable to hold it.

  Chaozi panted and said, "Isn't this just playing with people? You have such an important treasure placed down here, we've pulled out at least 200 meters, how come there's no sign of the bottom?"

  Another thing Zhang Wenbin noticed was that the water in the well had begun to turn yellow and churn more violently than before, starting to spread outwards.

  "Come on, the chain can't be endless. If it were really that long and heavy, we wouldn't have been able to pull it up even with all of us working together. Now the weight is starting to get lighter, I reckon we're about 80% there," Zhang Wenbin said.

  "With a loud 'boom', the well water inside suddenly and violently sprayed out, with the splashing water reaching as high as 3-4 meters, just like a fountain. The exposed skin was instantly scalded, causing blisters to form. For a moment, there were cries of 'ouch' all around, followed by another loud 'clang'. They then discovered that they could no longer pull the chain."

  "Are you stuck?" Chaozi asked.

  Lao Dao, standing at the forefront, felt a numbness in his hand and said, "It seems so. I think there's something hanging from this chain below, but the diameter of this well is too small, it's stuck. From the sound, it also seems to be metal."

  "Or else we'll just have to flush it down again and try pulling once more to see if it comes out?"

  Mainly everyone was too curious about what was underneath, so Lao Dao almost immediately agreed: "Alright, let's try again. When everyone shouts one, two, three, we'll use force together."

  Cha Wenbin was in charge of giving orders, and everyone tried to tilt their bodies backward as much as possible to gain the greatest traction. Even Zhe Luo joined the team, and the chain was slowly put back about one meter away.

  "One, two, three, pull!" With a loud command from Cha Wenbin, everyone exerted their greatest strength to pull back and forth.

  They only felt a collision of distance on their palms, and then "Boom!" A wave of water splashed into the sky, several times larger than before, bringing scalding well water down like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.

  "Run quickly!" Zhang Wenbin shouted. After that, everyone threw away the chains in their hands and retreated to the back, lest they be scalded by the well water. Then an even more violent collision sound made the earth tremble slightly. At this moment, a loud "roar" suddenly came from the bottom of the well, making them forget to pull the chain that was constantly sliding down.

  That roar was earth-shaking, the well water began to gush upwards continuously, and even the ground started to tremble slightly. They could clearly feel the shaking beneath their feet.

  "Was it an earthquake?" Old Wang asked nervously.

  Cha Wenbin's face was extremely solemn, and after a long time, he said: "No, it's Long Yin! This cry is the dragon, the ancestor of the dragon vein, Kunlun Mountain really has a dragon!"

  The roar gradually subsided as the chain fell back, and it slowly grew smaller until the chain had almost completely fallen into the well. At this point, the scene was left with only a mess washed away by water, and several wooden people standing still, because not only did Cha Wenbin say that it was a dragon's roar, but a "dragon" really appeared in the sky.

  Just a moment ago, the moon had climbed up to the sky. In this place, the moon looked exceptionally clear. However, everyone saw something that they had never seen before - a strange phenomenon. A black dragon-shaped cloud was constantly circling around the moon, its head and tail connected, with four limbs constantly changing their footsteps. The whiskers on the dragon's head were clearly visible, and its mouth was opening and closing from time to time. It kept circling around the moon, guarding it. What's more, this dragon had a pair of very obvious wings that were constantly flapping up and down, as if they were propelling this huge body in circular motion.

  As the chain fell completely back into the well, the dragon with wings also disappeared.

  "Look, a dragon!" Zhang Wenbin exclaimed. This was the first time they had seen a cloud-like dragon. If one were to say that the combination of cloud patterns contained various uncertainties, then this dragon was a real, genuine dragon. Even if one insisted it was just a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence - no one would believe that clouds could combine to form a dragon so close to reality.

  It is said that the Western Queen Mother sent Yinglong to help the Emperor fight Chiyou back then. Now it seems that they dare not continue pulling this chain anymore. The old knife returned to the wellhead and found that the well water had restored its previous calmness, and it was clear again.

  Chaozi's curiosity is bigger than the sky, "Shall we continue pulling?"

  Cha Wenbin immediately vetoed: "We can't move anymore, anything related to the Dragon Vein's ancestor is not something we can afford to disturb. Ordinary Feng Shui concerns individuals, but the Feng Shui here concerns the entire world. Hopefully our recklessness tonight won't bring any consequences."

  "Don't you want to know what's down there?" Chaozi was most entangled in this, if he knew there was a secret existence, he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly at night without figuring out the truth.

  "Think about it, but don't allow it. The things left behind by our ancestors are only part of history. If we cross the boundary and try to make something that should be left in the well stay there, let's just leave it alone."

  "Hey, what's going on?" The old knife, who rarely spoke, suddenly blurted out this sentence. Zhang Wenbin turned his head to look at him and saw that he was squatting by the well, staring into it.

  "What's wrong?" Old Wang asked.

  "You say, why is it that the reflection in this well water isn't my face?" Old Knife's tone of voice was different from usual, he normally spoke in a mechanical way, giving people a cold feeling, but now it was filled with a hint of warmth.

  For some reason, after hearing his words, Zhang Wenbin's heart inexplicably produced a not-so-good premonition. He immediately said: "Lao Dao, come over and tell me what you saw?" As he spoke, he began to walk towards Lao Dao.

  "I'm going down to take a look!" As soon as he finished speaking, Old Knife suddenly turned his face around, with a hint of a smile. This was the first time everyone had seen Old Knife's smile.

  "What did you say? Come over quickly!" Just as Cha Wenbin was about to reach Lao Dao, the old man suddenly lowered his head and plunged into the well with a loud splash. Cha Wenbin's hand was less than a centimeter away from his shoulder.

  The well began to churn out water, "gurgling" bubbles started to rise one after another, and for a moment everyone was unaware of what had happened. Lao Dao jumped into the well, "Lao Dao!" Cha Wenbin's throat was almost torn apart by his own loud shout, but all that was left was the rippling water surface calming down after the circles of water had dispersed, and he saw the face in the well that was on the verge of collapse.
