Chapter 226 Harvest Ore
The thin old man arranged for twelve people to take the ore out, leaving only Lao Shen, Lu Chong and four other strong men. The four strong men took turns to dig downwards to the designated position of Lu Chong. It didn't take long to break a small hole on the ground.
However, as the digging deepened, several people found that the rocks below were getting harder and harder, and the excavation speed was extremely slow. In the three-foot-sized round pit, only one person could be allowed to dig, and the rest had to clean and transport the rock fragments on it.
Lu Chong calculated that the excavation speed was indeed very slow, and even if it took another month, it would not be able to approach the fluctuating energy. So everyone stopped and took out a mutant talisman and threw it into the pit. There was only a cracking sound, and countless gravels flew around in the pit. When everyone leaned their heads into it, the gravels in the pit were almost loosened by more than one foot.
The four men continued to clear the gravel in the pit and obtained a few energy stones, which made everyone feel very relieved. Even Lao Shen said in surprise: "Brother Lu is really rich. This powerful talisman is hard to exchange here."
Lu Chong asked: "The mysterious realm of Heavenly Fighting should be very common, right?"
Lao Shen said: "Of course, but it also needs to be exchanged for precious items. I also have a Fengxing Talisman on me who has never been reluctant to use it. I also plan to use the accumulated ore to go to 'Yishi' and then exchange it for another one."
Lu Chong asked again: "Brother Shen is talking about the place where the transaction was held in the prison camp?"
Lao Shen said: "Yes, there are also various skilled talents among the people who are punished. The four ministries of the prison camp will hold a transaction at the end of each month. In addition to submitting tasks, the miners can exchange various items for the remaining ore. The inspectors allocate the amount of ore according to the level, so I also hope to obtain more valuable ore."
Lu Chong nodded and said, "Okay, then let's continue to work hard to find ore."
Under the hard work of everyone and the occasional talismans that Lu Chong stimulated from time to time, he had already dug more than ten feet deep underground in a few days. Everyone got some energy stones and even dug out a slightly smaller essence stone. However, at this time, he suddenly lost the trace of fluctuating energy. Lu Chong sat cross-legged under the ground and began to explore with his mind's distraction.
The four thoughts of the distraction extend out from the side. After an hour, the rocks within ten feet of the surrounding area were carefully searched, but the fluctuating energy never appeared again. Lu Chong began to wonder, was this a rock that could move?
Lu Chong looked up at Lao Shen above and asked, "Brother Shen, have you seen moving ores?"
Lao Shen thought hard, shook his head and said, "I have never seen it before, and I have never even heard of it. It's just that in the legend there is a beast called 'Stone-Wedding Dragon', which is born from stone spirits. He likes to rely on some high-level ores to absorb the energy of the ore for a living. It has a strong power, but how is it possible? But you have to pay attention..."
Before Lao Shen finished speaking, everyone saw Lu Chong's body suddenly rotate, and a stone-colored light lingered towards Lu Chong with the rotating airflow. Just as everyone was surprised, they heard a "pop" sound, as if something had touched each other, and they saw Lu Chong rushing out of the digging pit.
Something jumped out of the deep pit. Lu Chong turned around and condensed a ball of air and flew out. Regardless of the result, he jumped away. The ball of air was quickly decomposed and dissipated, and a snake-shaped monster about three feet shot towards the front.
Before the four strong men could take action, they were violently knocked out and hit the four walls of the passage, falling softly to the ground. The air mass condensed by Lao Shen was also blown away by the monster's mouth, and a more bitter and powerful airflow shot towards Lao Shen.
Lao Shen rolled back quickly and took out the extremely precious Fengxing Talisman without hesitation. After being stimulated, it was thrown out. A gust of wind passed by, temporarily blocking the monster's attack. Lao Shen's figure had disappeared dozens of feet away in an instant.
Only then did Lu Chong see clearly the monster's appearance. It was a shrinking dragon-shaped beast that would change color. It had two round eyes on its slightly larger head, two deep nostrils on its wide mouth, short limbs supported its body, and its slender tail kept swaying on the ground behind it, and its entire body emitted a stone-colored light, which seemed to be the "stone-piercing dragon" in Lao Shen's legend.
A "hoo" sound was made from the monster's mouth, and two breaths spewed out of its nostrils. His eyes were staring at Lu Chong and making a flying thrust. Lu Chong had already inspired a golden strange talisman to throw it out. While a huge golden monster pressed towards the "Stone Piercing Dragon" from the air, the air mass condensed by Lu Chong also hit the "Stone Piercing Dragon" after several fissions.
The "Stone-Wrangling Dragon" jumped and swirled in the air. It saw its limbs slashing, and a dark red air stream erupted from its mouth, colliding with the fission air mass. The air stream triggered by its limbs was like four wind blades, which quickly tore apart the huge golden monster and finally dissipated.
The "Stone-Wedding Dragon" shot towards Lu Chong in the distance. Lu Chong pinched a three-section acceleration cone with his left hand and threw out a spirit beast pill with his right hand. The flying spirit beast pill was swallowed by the "Stone-Wedding Dragon" in one bite. The "Stone-Wedding Dragon" also stopped its body flying in the air and slowly landed on the ground of the passage.
Lu Chong knew that the spirit beast pill had worked, but he still held the three-section acceleration cone device tightly. In fact, he was still unsure of it because this "stone-piercing dragon" was too powerful, so he could only wait quietly for it to react after swallowing the spirit beast pill.
After a while, Chuanshilong shook his head and made a "hoho" sound. Lu Chong immediately understood that Chuanshilong still wanted a spirit beast pill. Lu Chong threw out a spirit beast pill while trying to "hoho" to communicate. Chuanshilong was a little surprised, but one person and one beast finally reached a coordination.
Lu Chong slowly felt relieved. Lu Chong agreed to provide the Spirit Beast Pill to Shishilong, but also told Shishilong that refining the Spirit Beast Pill requires high-level ore to exchange materials. In order to obtain the Spirit Beast Pill, Shishilong agreed to help him provide the location of the high-level ore, but Lu Chong needed to dig it himself.
After saying that, Chuanshilong jumped into the deep pit. Lu Chong also jumped into the pit cautiously. His mind was distracted with the fluctuations of Chuanshilong's body. He found that Chuanshilong's body was as soft as if it was merged with rocks. Chuanshilong stayed for more than ten feet and spit out a dark red airflow. A faint mark was left in that place. Chuanshilong and Lu Chong made an appointment, and then disappeared from the rocks.
Lu Chong found Lao Shen and informed him of the situation just now. Lao Shen was very excited. He knew that he had encountered the legendary Shishilong and received the tacit approval from Shishilong. Then he would obtain a large amount of high-level ore next. So he discussed with Lu Chong for a while and determined that in addition to the tasks handed over, Lu Chong and the entire group each accounted for half of the other ores obtained.
After awakening the four strong men, they continued to dig along the direction of the mark. After a few days, they obtained many energy stones and essence stones. When they approached the mark, Lao Shen and Lu Chong personally obtained a "Xuanling Star" that made the top-level masters of the True Qi Realm extremely excited.
A few days later, Lou Guan brought a few people to the pit and happily agreed to the agreement to divide the ore with Lu Tong. Lu Chong handed over the first "Xuanling Star" to Lou Guan, and only then did he know that Lou Guan and the others did not have a space belt. If they were placed in the space box, it would be easy to be discovered by others, so he could only store the "Xuanling Star" in Lu Tong's space belt.
In the next few months, under the guidance of the Shishilong, Lu Chong and Lou Guan obtained a large number of various ores, including the spirit stones like "Xuan Ling Star". Lou Guan, Lao Shen and Lao Jiang each obtained one, while Lu Chong obtained three alone. At this time, there were not many spirit beast pills on Lu Chong's body, and everyone decided to go to Yishi to exchange items.
