Chapter 1346: Chapter 1346 - Lup-dup
“Understood!” The group answered in unison .
“Deputy Commander Ren, you don’t have to dig, just stand guard outside!” The general instructed Ren Yun Du .
“Mmph!” Ren Yun Du nodded his head . He was a Deputy Commander and naturally would not need to do such laborious work .
“It is just great that 3 days later I will have to make a trip down to the fort and report to General Zhu Long about the situation here, as well as deliver the Spiritual Stones back . In the period that I am not around, Deputy Commander Ren, you will be responsible for the affairs here!” The general instructed again .
The mine here belonged to Black Mountain Fort and everything that happened here had to be reported back to Black Mountain Fort .
“Deputy Commander Wang, rest assured and do your duties!” Ren Yun Du assured him .
This Deputy Commander had the last name ‘Wang’ and was called Deputy Commander Wang .
“That’s good!” Deputy Commander Wang nodded his head .
Then, the immediately ordered men to bring the group of Shen Wu Academy disciples down to dig .
At the entrance of the mine was a humongous cave .
Once the group entered the cave entrance, they followed the path and went down a full kilometre before reaching the Spiritual Stone mine .
A depth of a kilometre underground, everywhere around them was full of hard rocks . Occasionally, white Spiritual Stones could be seen in these rocks .
The deeper underground they went, the more Spiritual Stones there were .
At 1 . 5 km underground, the hard rocks were full of Spiritual Stones .
These Spiritual Stones were typically all High Grade Spiritual Stones .
In this Spiritual Stone mine, Qi from the dragon vein continually poured out and morphed non-Spiritual Stones .
The dragon vein was a formation of the great earth and it was a mystifying existence .
It could cross through the grounds before stopping at a certain place and emitting an endless flow of Spiritual Qi that would slowly morph into Spiritual Stones .
Hence, the excavating of Spiritual Stones in this mine could not be done at a large scale . Otherwise, it would awaken the dragon vein and cause it to move away from this place .
If it weren’t for this, a Martial Royal would be able to instantly retrieve all the Spiritual Stones in this area .
Once the dragon vein moved, it was very hard to find it again .
Even a strong Martial Sage wouldn’t be able to easily locate a dragon vein .
For instance, the Sorcerer Tribe in Heavenly Underworld Star managed to obtain the dragon vein only with the help of a Priest personally capturing it and binding it to the ground .
However, even without a large scale excavation, it was very easy to retrieve the Spiritual Stones for Martial Emperors like Su Mo .
In a short time, they were able to retrieve a large number of Spiritual Stones without causing any damage to the mine .
Besides the few hundred Shen Wu Academy disciples in the mine, there were around 300-400 other black alpha troops who were digging .
At the same time, there were a few Martial Emperors who were supervising the entire action and taking the Spiritual Stones retrieved by the labourers .
“My god, what a large High Grade Spiritual Stone mine, it is definitely a treasure!” Xie Bin’s face was filled with awe and surprise as he dug through .
Although High Grade Spiritual Stones were inferior to Spirituals, with such a large mine, it was enough to increase the powers of the whole group .
“It is indeed a treasure!” Su Mo nodded his head in agreement but couldn’t help but sigh inwardly . If he could find a Spiritual Stone mine like this, then he wouldn’t need to ever worry about the Firmament Place anymore .
There were almost a hundred thousand people at Firmament Place . Even if everyone there were to have one High Grade Spiritual Stone each day, it would still amount to a hundred thousand daily .
However, a Spiritual Stone daily for a Martial king and a Martial Royal wouldn’t be enough . Even a hundred wouldn’t be enough .
Hence the amount of resources that the Firmament Palace needed was an innumerable number .
Although he always gave the Firmament Palace a ton of resources every time he returned, it was hardly enough .
If the Firmament Palace had a Spiritual Stone mine, even if it was a small one, it would be of great benefit to their advancement .
However, no matter where, this Spiritual Stone mines were always controlled by large superpowers .
It was a foolish dream of his to obtain a Spiritual Stone mine .
Unless he could capture a dragon vein and create a Spiritual Stone mine out of it like the Sorcerer Tribe and build a cultivation room .
However, even for a Martial Sage, it was hard to capture the dragon vein . It was even harder for him .
“Brother Xie, what do you know about the dragon vein?” Su Mo asked Xie Bin as he dug through for Spiritual Stones . ‘
“Dragon vein?”
Xie Bin was surprised by Su Mo’s question and he laughed, “who doesn’t know about the dragon vein? This is one of the Earth’s wonders and it is a mystifying existence . Every time a dragon vein is created, it requires tens of thousands of years!”
“I heard the dragon vein has a will, is its intelligence high?” Su Mo asked again .
“Nope, the dragon vein has a low intelligence but is very wary . Once it encounters danger, it will immediately escape . They can go through the earth and even a Martial Sage may not be able to chase it!” Xie Bian answered .
“I see!” SuMo nodded his head slightly as he thought to himself .
The dragon vein had a will and had intelligence . This meant that it had a soul, otherwise how could it have a will and intelligence?
If that was the case, could his Devouring Fighting Soul control the dragon vein?
Su Mo wasn’t very sure . Afterall, even a Martial Sage found it hard to capture a dragon vein, to say nothing of Martial Emperors .
However, if he had the chance, he would definitely try .
“Brother Su, you seem to be very interested in the dragon vein?” Looking at Su Mo’s expression, Xie Bin curiously asked .
“Ke ke! I am only curious!” Su Mo laughed .
With that, he did not talk further and continued retrieving the Spiritual Stones .
This Spiritual Stone was very big as it spanned a few kilometres wide . The group of them dug continuously yet it didn’t seem like the number of Spiritual Stones was decreasing .
Time passed by and quickly, three days had passed .
The group of them seemed to have become labourers as they continued digging for Spiritual Stones without rest or breaks .
Even Su Mo was annoyed . He specially came for this expedition but became a labourer, there was no benefit at all in this .
Not only him, all the disciples were all annoyed and unhappy .
These days, they still had to pull through this for another half a year .
Hong dong dong!
Right at this moment, a series of booms sounded from above . Even those who were 1 . 5km underground could feel the ground shaking .
“Attack, everyone go out and battle!”
A loud boom came from above and with that, everyone from the mine, disciples of Shen Wu academy and black alpha troops quickly flew up above .
Su Mo was just about to fly up and fight when he suddenly had a thought . Since everyone had left, could he go and survey the dragon vein below?
With this thought, his heart started pumping quickly and he couldn’t suppress this desire .
If he could really capture this dragon vein, he would reap tons of benefits . If he couldn’t capture it, and the dragon vein escaped, then this Spiritual Stone mine would be useless, and he wouldn’t need to stay another half a month here anymore .
Wasn’t this mine under the control of General Zhu Long? He offended them, and now, Su Mo would make them pay back!
Su Mo did not quickly move up . After waiting for everyone else to leave, he turned around and broke apart the hard stone wall before rapidly burrowing his way underground .
