Rose City.
Deep underground.
Li Hansong's eyes were dull, and his face was filled with greed. He pointed at the huge crystal clear ore above him, unable to hide his excitement.
"Should we dig?"
He didn't say it out loud, but it was obvious through his eyes.
It was a huge mineral vein that stretched as far as the eye could see!
Although they were all low-grade energy stones, and most of them could only be considered raw stones, there were still too many of them!
How many reserves were there in such a huge mine?
A hundred tons?
A thousand tons?
Or even ten thousand tons!
Even if they were raw gemstones, their value was incalculable.
Of course, if they were all poached and brought back to Earth, their value would probably depreciate.
The rarer an item was, the more expensive it would be.
However, no matter how cheap it was ... It was still an energy stone. It should not be a problem to charge the raw ore 10000 Yuan per gram, right?
One ton was worth ten billion!
How many tons were there?
10,000 tons ... That would be a hundred trillion!
This was all calculated according to the raw ore!
Li Hansong felt that he could not figure it out!
He had heard from Fang ping that the mineral veins under the royal city were huge.
In the capital city catacombs, he had even seen the remains of two imperial cities.
However, although the two royal cities were wiped out in the war back then, the two royal cities 'Guardian monster plants fought to the death in the final battle. Even the powerhouses from the Forbidden Zone participated.
In the end, although they had destroyed two imperial cities, the humans had not taken much of the underground mine.
At this moment, it was completely empty, not even a small piece of raw ore could be found.
The huge mine under Rose City had not been destroyed. Li Hansong suspected that other than a powerhouse at the peak, had any human ever seen such a scene before?
Energy stones were crystal clear to begin with, even the raw ore was the same.
Although the huge mineral vein was deep underground, it was as beautiful as a Crystal Palace. It was not as dark and dirty as other mineral veins.
At this moment, li Hansong even fantasized that one day, would he live in a Crystal Palace like this?
Li Hansong treated the ore vein above him as heaven, as a Crystal Palace, while Fang ping ... Was calculating whether this big mine was easy to blow up?
Low-ranked energy stones were hard to produce an explosion due to the low energy concentration.
In comparison, it was much more stable.
"Otherwise, if the Imperial City is built on explosive packages, those rank-9s might not even dare to live there anymore.
The last time he was able to blow up some of them in gigantic Willow City, it was because the life essence was overflowing and the energy concentration was too high, which eventually led to the explosion.
For Rose City, Fang ping had to think of a way himself.
"I'm afraid we can't blow up the outer area. We'll have to enter the core area and pile up some high-ranked energy stones together. Then, we'll use our mentality to guide them and detonate them together. Only then will we have a chance of blowing up the core area and causing a chain reaction. It'll also blow up the low-ranked energy stones in the outer area ..."
"There must be a high-rank holding the fort in the core zone ... It's impossible not to take away the high-ranks."
Fang ping calculated all this in his mind, but he did not delay at all. He continued to dig the tunnel and gave li Hansong a kick.
Still looking!
He had to dig the tunnel first. How could he have so much free time to look at this? he had never seen the world. Wasn't it embarrassing?
Other than the energy stones scattered in the mine tunnels, Fang ping rarely excavated the mine veins on purpose because the movement was too big and it was dangerous.
It was also easy to be discovered if he entered the mine tunnels. Fang ping had not even considered mining when he came here this time.
Li Hansong swallowed his saliva and lowered his head, no longer looking at the mine vein above. This place was a hundred meters underground, but what he could see was only a corner of the mine vein that extended down.
However, li Hansong felt that just this one corner was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.
Fang ping had previously said that he was very regretful that he could not film. At this moment, li Hansong was also extremely regretful.
If there were cameras, he could record it and bring it back to ccmau. He could not imagine how shocked ccmau would be.
Li Hansong was still fantasizing when Fang ping kicked him again, his eyes signaling to the front.
Li Hansong raised his head to look, and his expression changed slightly.
In front of him, there were some crystal clear root-shaped pipes.
Those were the roots of the monster plant!
Li Hansong did not dare to move. He looked at Fang ping. 'Didn't they say that the rank-9 monster plant had left?'
Fang ping stared at it for a moment, shook his head slightly, and started digging in the other direction. It was not a rank-9 monster plant, but a rank-5 or 6 monster plant, but its roots were quite deep.
The Guardian monster plant of Rose City was a rose.
This thing wasn't big, but its roots weren't shallow.
Fang ping took a glance at the monster plant in front of him just now. It could be a descendant of the demonic rose.
"I wonder if I can imitate the aura of a monster plant?"
As Fang ping thought about this, the options for aura simulation began to flash in his mind.
Very soon ... Fang Ping's eyes moved.
It actually worked!
The system's 100-billion-dollar upgrade function was really heaven-defying.
The monster plant just now was not strong, so he could imitate its aura.
"In that case ... If I go to Half Moon Lake, I can imitate the aura left behind by this monster plant?"
"However, does that kun-like demonic beast dare to chase after us?"
If this was really the descendant of a rank-9 monster plant, the monster beasts of Half Moon Lake were not far from here. They should be able to recognize the aura of a rank-9 monster's descendant. Would it dare to chase after it?
Or was he just going to admit it?
As he thought about this, Fang ping did not slow down and continued to dig the tunnel.
He did not know how long he had been digging, but the ground was already covered with tunnels that extended in all directions. Only then did Fang ping signal for li Hansong to leave with him.
……
Emerging from another tunnel, li Hansong could not hold back his excitement and apprehension. He said in a low voice,"I was so scared just now! Why are there other monster plants underground?"
"It's normal. "
Fang ping was not too surprised. He explained,"Some rank-9 Fey plants will reproduce some offspring. The cities of the fey plant lineage generally do not command Fey beasts. Some Fey plants also do not reproduce, and only have one unique Guardian Fey plant.
However, it also depended on the situation. Some monster plants would breed a few to act as guards.
Back in gigantic Willow City, there was a descendant of a willow tree at the city gate that could recognize auras.
"The monster plant clan is fine, but I used to think that the monster life clan was easier to mine. Later on, I found out that the cities of the monster life clan are filled with monsters. Some monsters live underground and are more dangerous than the monster plant clan ..."
"Like this?"
Li Hansong mumbled to himself and did not ask further. He instantly shifted to the energy mine and said excitedly,"So many mines! "Fang ping, if we excavate the capital's huge mine, then ..."
"Stop dreaming!"
Fang ping glared at him in annoyance. What was wrong with these people?
You want to mine the moment you see a mine. Do you really think that the mine belongs to your family?
Fang ping could not be bothered with him. He glanced at Rose City not far away. At this moment, there was some noise in Rose City.
At the city gate, large groups of guards started to leave the city and sweep the area. It was probably old Wang and the others who had made a move, causing these people to leave the city to search for them.
Staring at a group of guards who had just left the city, Fang ping said in a low voice, "Let's go. Let's kill a few guys first and ask about the situation. Let's see how many high-ranks are left in the city!"
Li Hansong nodded and followed Fang ping as they made their way over carefully.
At this moment, li Hansong was feeling rather excited. It was too exciting to follow Fang ping and ambush their guards near the royal city!
In the past, they did not dare to approach the capital at all, as it was too easy to be discovered.
But now, the two of them were less than a hundred meters away from the guards in front of them, and they had not been discovered.
……
A few minutes later.
Fang ping and Li Hansong quickly finished off a team of guards. Fang ping immediately put away the corpses and changed into the guards 'armor, disguising himself and Li Hansong with the guards' aura.
For aura simulation, Fang ping was using 100000 wealth points per minute. Adding li Hansong, that would be 1 million per minute.
Although the cost was not low, for Fang ping at the moment, adding one more person was still bearable.
The two of them were wearing armor and helmets with their heads lowered. No one would be able to tell if they were real or not if they didn't look carefully.
Li Hansong was so excited that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Just a moment ago, a team of guards had passed by them. They had clearly seen the two of them, but they did not care about them and just left!
"So exciting!"
The moment li Hansong opened his mouth, Fang ping cursed in a low voice,"Speak in the catacombs language!"
When li Hansong heard this, he hurriedly spoke in his unfamiliar catacombs language,""Fang ping, what do we do now?"
After asking, li Hansong said excitedly,"Are we going to enter the city?"
Fang ping pondered for a moment and said,"according to what the guards said earlier, there was originally only one rank-7 chieftain in the city ... But I'm guessing there are two. There should be another one underground. He doesn't know, or he deliberately didn't say.
Now, the one on the surface had left the capital and gone to Laurel City.
"The city Lord of Laurel City has returned as well and is searching for us everywhere ... There's only one rank-7 in the city now. Of course, it could be a rank-8, the one underground.
Once the high-ranked monsters attacked, they would definitely have to come out.
I'm only afraid that ... The demonic beast at Half Moon Lake won't come. "
Fang ping felt a slight headache. If the other party did not come, then he would not be able to lure out the high-ranked powerhouses guarding the mine underground.
"I don't care, I'll try it first!"
Fang ping exhaled."Let's go to Half Moon Lake now. Qin Fengqing has left. Ironhead, can you lure that demonic beast away for a while? is there a problem?"
Li Hansong was just about to speak when Fang ping turned around and said sternly,"You can refuse! To be honest, it's indeed extremely dangerous. If you're caught, you'll be dead. This matter could be done or not done.
After all, our abilities are limited. If we really don't do it, no one will say anything.
Even if he did, it was only for the sake of comfort.
As for the benefits ... There was a high probability that there would be no benefits.
"Let's not talk about whether there's a mine vein in Banyue Lake. Even if there is, I won't be able to mine much. When we reach the underground of the royal city, even if the high-ranked guards have left, the chances of me mining are not high. I don't have the time. "
Li Hansong grinned and said,"of course I have to get involved in such a big matter!" 'I only hate myself for not being a Grandmaster. Otherwise, I would have fought at the entrance of the passage during the battle of Tiannan, instead of sneakily making some small moves here!'
Since you want to make a big move, then I, li Hansong, will accompany you at any time!
'You're not even afraid of entering the capital. A rank-7 monster, do you think I'm afraid?'
Go and ask, how many modern martial artists are afraid of death?
If it were someone else, they would also do it without hesitation. So, you don't have to worry about me. You should worry about yourself!"
Fang ping laughed when he heard that and said,"alright, let's do it!" Just one sentence, don't die, even if you're injured or disabled, keep your lives. I will cure you one day!"
"No problem!"
The two of them didn't waste any more time and started running towards Half Moon Lake.
Along the way, they also met some guards who were leaving the city. However, these two people were extremely fast, and no one asked when they felt their aura.
……
Half an hour later.
Fang ping and Li Hansong arrived at Half Moon Lake. On the surface of the lake, the demonic beast was still cultivating in midair.
Fang ping did not know if the monster was out for air or if it thought it was better to cultivate at night, but he could not be bothered to care.
He glanced at the creature that looked a little like the Jiao in the distance and said in a low voice,"Later, I'll disguise myself as a Rose City martial artist and hunt you down! Make a bigger movement, I'll do the same and provoke it on purpose!
If it's provoked and comes after us, I'll find a place to hide my aura and hide.
You keep running and lure it to continue chasing you. I'll go back and raid its nest.
After raiding its lair, I'll make a big commotion to lure it back. There's a time difference between this, so be careful. "
"You too!"
Li Hansong took a deep breath and continued,"What if they don't hunt us down?"
"Then let's fight, fight. Stay a little further away from it, and the aftermath will affect it. High-ranked monsters won't be unmoved by such provocation. Otherwise, such a weak demonic beast's territory would have long been taken by others. "
Although he said that, Fang ping swallowed his saliva and said,"If you want to affect it, then the distance is quite close. Iron head, you can't run too fast, you really have to be careful."
"Don't worry, my Golden Bones and golden body are half-awakened, stimulating the power of the Golden body, so I can run quite fast. "
“……”
The two of them communicated for a moment and prepared to put on an act.
A high-ranked monster's intelligence was not low either. Fang ping would act as a catacombs martial artist and chase after li Hansong. When Fang ping raided its home, it would not think of humans as its target.
Otherwise, if li Hansong had deliberately lured it away, even if Fang ping had left behind the catacombs martial artist's aura, it would be easy to be suspected of being li Hansong's doing.
At this moment, Fang ping did not dare to underestimate these monsters.
"Over at Magic City catacombs, that Yong is very shrewd.
……
A few minutes later.
Li Hansong's qi and blood exploded, and he ran madly.
At the back, Fang ping was disguised as a catacombs martial artist. He was aggressive and shouted angrily, "Don't run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang ping threw a punch. He did not hit anyone, but he blasted a huge hole in the bank of Half Moon Lake!
In the distance, in the middle of the lake, the demonic beast moved slightly and glanced at the two of them, but it did not move.
When li Hansong saw this, he gritted his teeth, stepped on the air, and directly entered the lake.
Fang ping, on the other hand, was in hot pursuit, continuing his pursuit!
BOOM!
The two of them exchanged blows across the air. The power of vitality and energy exploded, causing the calm lake to be filled with waves.
On the surface of the lake, the giant horned demon beast seemed to be a little angry and suddenly roared!
These two people actually dared to fight in its territory, and not far from it!
Li Hansong had come here to lure it. When he saw this, he shouted angrily,"If you continue to pursue me, I'll take you down with me!"
He didn't care if the demonic beast understood him or not. He roared and ran towards the demonic beast.
Fang ping seemed a little hesitant, but he gritted his teeth and chased after them. The two of them continued to fight, the aftershock shaking and the lake boiling.
In the distance, the giant horned demonic beast was a little angry.
"Roar!"
The giant horned demon beast roared again, but these two people did not care and continued to fight. The momentum was huge, and huge waves were stirred up on the lake, and the sound of explosions continued!
"Roar!"
This time, the giant horned demon beast couldn't hold back anymore. Its huge body moved in a flash and attacked the two of them.
Without another word, li Hansong and Fang ping quickly ran toward the shore.
Behind him, the giant horned demon beast was extremely fast, chasing after him.
After chasing for a distance, the giant horned beast seemed to have slowed down a little. It didn't seem to have the intention to chase them to the end.
In the end, it had just slowed down when Fang ping, who was running in front, seemed to want to turn around and kill li Hansong. He threw a punch!
The punch did not hit li Hansong, but the force was directed at the giant horned demon beast in the distance.
In front of the giant horned demon beast, a weak ripple appeared in the air. Its spiritual power blocked the energy.
However, this time, he had completely angered this demon beast that didn't want to be nosy.
It was fine that the two intruded into its territory and fought, but after several warnings, not only did the two not leave, they even became more intense.
That was fine. It had chased the two out of Half Moon Lake and had no intention of killing them. Therefore, after getting out of the lake, it didn't want to care about these two guys.
However, it didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to attack it!
This was the biggest challenge to it!
At this moment, the giant horned beast was furious. With a roar, it attacked the two of them with a spiritual attack.
At this moment, Fang Ping's mentality was also overflowing. He self-destructed in an instant, blowing up a wisp of the giant horned monster's mentality.
Mentality was extremely important to high-ranked powerhouses, whether they were humans, monsters, or catacombs martial artists.
At this moment, the giant horned demon beast's anger had reached a point of no return!
"Roar!"
With a loud explosion, the giant horned demonic beast chased after them. It wanted to kill these two bastards who had provoked it and even damaged a wisp of its undying God!
Fang ping and Li Hansong had long since dashed forward madly the moment Fang ping made his move.
After running for a few thousand meters, the two of them landed on the ground instantly. The next moment, Fang Ping's aura disappeared. Li Hansong's vitality surged and he began to run in the direction of the forbidden Sea.
Fang ping, who was hiding in the swamp, quickly sensed that above his head, a rank-7 pressure mixed with infinite anger was leaving quickly.
A moment later, Fang ping crawled out of the swamp. He glanced in the direction where li Hansong had gone, a look of worry flashing in his eyes.
Without further delay, Fang ping quickly flew toward Half Moon Lake.
……
Half Moon Lake.
At the bottom of the lake.
At the spot where the demonic beast had been floating, Fang Ping's expression brightened. As expected, there was indeed a small mine. No wonder the demonic beast was here.
There was no time to look around. Fang ping dug quickly. There was a cave at the bottom of the lake, which should be the place where the monster usually lived.
There weren't many things in the cave, but there were some bone banners from demonic beasts, which were probably leftover from the giant horned demonic beast's hunt.
"Demonic beasts are really poor! This small mine vein is probably the entire fortune of the giant horned demon beast. Now that it has been robbed of all its fortune, it's still not going to risk its life?"
As Fang ping thought about this, he started digging quickly.
"There aren't too many high-ranked energy stones. They're very few, but there are quite a number of middle and low-ranked ones.
Fang ping did not have the time to dig them all out. He dug out some of the high-ranked ones and stuffed them into his storage space. Then, he took out some high-ranked energy stones that he already had from the storage space.
He did not know if the high-ranked energy stones he dug up would count as his wealth, but there was no harm in trying.
Taking out the high-ranked energy stones that he already had, Fang ping quickly gathered these energy stones together and stuffed them into the small mine.
Next, Fang ping filled it with his mentality and quickly emerged from the bottom of the lake.
Just as he came out, a loud bang was heard!
At the bottom of the lake, Fang ping detonated the high-ranked energy stones.
Worried that the commotion here would not attract the monster's attention, Fang ping burst out with full force, blasting wildly at the surface of the lake!
In the silent night, the sound was extremely loud!
The explosions from before gradually stopped, and the lake returned to its calm state.
Fang ping used his mentality to probe. The small energy mine below had already disappeared completely. Only a few remaining low-grade energy stones had not exploded. However, they had also been blasted everywhere, overflowing to various parts of the bottom of the lake along with the turbulent water flow.
"There's nothing left. If the brothers of the Holy Church see it, they'll be furious, right?"
Fang ping left a faint trace of the catacombs martial artist's power on the spot while looking into the distance. Did the giant-horned monster sense anything?
Li Hansong didn't take it too far away, did he?
As the two had discussed, they would first circle around Half Moon Lake.
"I hope iron head is fine!"
Just as he thought of this, Fang Ping's eyes flickered. He quickly stepped on air and returned to the shore. The aura on his body flashed and disappeared. Then, he quickly fled in the direction of Rose City.
Not long after Fang ping left, the giant horned beast returned through the air.
When it sensed the energy tide in the center of the lake, the giant horned demon beast immediately dove to the bottom of the lake.
"Roar!"
In the blink of an eye, a powerful pillar of light rose from the center of the lake. The giant horned beast's eyes were blood red!
To these high-ranked monsters, rank-7 monsters had the lowest status. It was extremely difficult for them to find a place that was suitable for their own cultivation.
In the forbidden area, there were King demonic beasts, so they had no share in the mineral veins.
In other places, the mineral veins were all owned by the monster beasts and monster plants of The Guardian lineage.
These wild demonic beasts had a hard time.
The small mine in the Half Moon Lake was the demonic beast's only hope of advancing.
Now that the mineral veins were gone, the giant horned demon beast had gone completely crazy!
Its huge nose twitched slightly. The giant horned demon's eyes were bloodshot. Sensing the remnants of that force, it broke through the air and chased after Fang ping in the direction he had fled!
The pressure that was mixed with infinite anger also swept across the way. Whether they encountered humans or demonic beasts, they were instantly crushed into meat paste.
