2592 First Exploration to the Mine Demon Stream
The number of Clean Stones exceeded a billion, and everyone was relieved.
As for the Clean Stones provided by Wushuang and the others, they weren’t provided for free. This required the return of resources, but as for the specific return, as they hadn’t explored the Mine Demon Stream yet, they couldn’t give a precise demand.
After the Clean Stones were distributed, it was time to enter the Mine Demon Stream.
Han Fei looked calm. No one knew what he was thinking, but most people guessed that Han Fei must be up to something.
In fact, Han Fei was wondering if the Demon Vanquishing Tree had gone back on his word. Logically speaking, Old Yuan should have come out long ago. With Old Yuan’s soul, he could easily get a turtle egg.
However, up to now, there was no news of Old Yuan, and Han Fei’s clone had disappeared without returning. This meant that up to now, Old Yuan hadn’t left Puppet City.
This made Han Fei hostile to the Demon Vanquishing Tree. No matter what the reason was, it was a fact that Old Yuan didn’t come out. Therefore, Han Fei made up an excuse about the Land of Inheritance on this trip, partly for the Mine Demon Stream and partly to save Old Yuan.
If the Demon Vanquishing Tree didn’t hand Old Yuan and his clone over, he would expose Puppet City. A group of people in the perfected Star Transformation Realm might not be able to take down Puppet City, but once Puppet City was exposed, Monarchs would definitely come.
On this side, the leaders of the major factions returned one after another and began to beckon everyone to go down. Outside, they formed an array and prepared to go down the Mine Demon Stream.
Some people had even secretly prepared some other forces. In the end, they didn’t trust Han Fei, so it was impossible for them to completely believe Han Fei’s one-sided story and rush down.
Of course, most people thought that there were many people going down with me anyway. Even if there was a problem, there would be someone in front of me, and I wouldn’t be among the ones to die.
Too many people had this idea, so no one rejected the exploration to the Mine Demon Stream.
The leaders of the major factions all shouted, “Set up an array and enter the Land of Inheritance. Everyone, be vigilant. Don’t take it lightly. If you’re careless at this time, you will be doomed.”
Someone shouted, “Be ready to activate the secret method at any time and burn your blood. If anything happens, this will be your greatest asset to escape.”
Apart from the major factions, there were a lot of itinerant cultivators. Compared to these major factions, the greatest characteristic of itinerant cultivators was their unity.
Someone shouted, “Everyone, we don’t have so many strong masters to protect us, nor do we have many trump cards. However, we have many people. In times of crisis, we have to help each other. Not only our own team members, but also any itinerant cultivator who is in trouble. This is the best way for our itinerant cultivators to survive in the Infinite Mining Area.”
Someone smiled and said, “Of course. We’re indeed weak in background, but in terms of unity, we itinerant cultivators are really not afraid of those big forces. Only by helping each other can we go further and further.”
…
Compared to the Hundred Alliances, the divine beasts and ferocious beasts were much simpler.
Mo Jiu shouted, “Everyone, listen up. Once you find that you can’t beat them, run to the strong masters. Although those things are all in the perfected Star Transformation Realm and their speed can reach the speed of light explosion, don’t panic. We are ferocious beasts, so we can resist their attacks. Also, once you find that you are really no match for them and are about to die, blow yourselves up. Then the nearby perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators shall rush over. We must ensure that our compatriots can still survive.”
The divine beasts said the same things as the ferocious beasts, but they divided their people into small groups, each with three or five divine beasts.
…
“Let’s go.”
“Let’s go down.”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
More than 20,000 strong masters rushed into the Mine Demon Stream like dumplings. All of them were tense as if facing a great enemy, so they all maintained their peak combat power and could launch their strongest attacks at any time.
More than 200 kilometers down the Mine Demon Stream, there were only ordinary late-stage Star Transformation Realm and peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm Mine Demons. These were actually nothing. There were all kinds of Mine demons.
This was because they hadn’t seen the Bloody Hand Mine Devils yet. Instead, they encountered a group of Silver-Headed Sharks, a group of Phosphorescence Ribbon Fish, a group of Mine Spirit Crabs, and some other species.
Originally, these mine demons just wanted to see who had come, but they were met with mystic rays and heavy blows.
“Puff! Puff! Puff!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Knock, knock, knock!
The combat power of the northern expedition army was quite terrifying. In the blink of an eye, all the ordinary mine demons were almost wiped out.
The Mine Demon Stream had been accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years, so before these people reached the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream, there were countless mine demons rushing at them.
Han Fei shouted, “This is what I said. There are not only Bloody Hand Mine Devils here, but also a large number of late-stage Star Transformation and peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm Mine Demons. There are a lot of them, probably more than 50,000.”
However, someone laughed. “Fifty thousand means fifty thousand mineral resources. Kill.”
Someone sneered. “We’re on a northern expedition now. We don’t lack strong masters at all. We can easily kill these 50,000 mine demons in the blink of an eye.”
Someone exclaimed, “Haha! There are three level-five minerals.”
Someone shouted, “This group of sea scorpions are all in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm. There are level-five minerals on their heads. Kill them!”
Someone was shocked. “So many mine demons! We’re going to be rich!”
Han Fei listened to the cheers of these people in silence. The Mine Demon Stream was narrow and couldn’t accommodate so many battles at once. It was not a good thing to have all kinds of forces collide with each other.
Besides, they were immersed in excitement at the moment, because they hadn’t found the Bloody Hand Mine Devils yet. Instead, they got high-quality minerals one after another.
If it were any other time, how could they have obtained so many minerals so easily?
However, this excitement didn’t last long. Soon, someone shouted, “Who’s attacking randomly? Are you blind?”
Someone burst into fury. “B*stards, the defense array I set up has been broken by your power. Why aren’t you stopping?”
“Ahhh~”
Someone was still fighting a moment ago, but the next moment, his body was suddenly pierced by a stream of water, and even his soul was destroyed.
Seeing this person die, many people were startled. They hadn’t seen anything yet! Who was attacking this person?
However, such a thing was still happening.
“One, two, three…”
Finally, someone sensed that something was wrong. “Attention to some of the water currents here. They seem to be the tentacles of some creature that turned into water currents.”
However, it was already too late. The roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree were unconscious. They instinctively attacked all intruders.
Of course, there weren’t many of them. One root could only launch one attack. When everyone was consciously guarding against the roots, they could dodge and block them.
However, because of the roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree, many arrays were broken. With their arrays incomplete, these people faced the crazy attacks of tens of thousands of mine demons.
The originally orderly northern expedition army was thrown into chaos, because twenty thousand strong masters were gathered in this narrow passage.
“Puff! Puff! Puff!”
Chi la!
“Help me!”
Boom!
For a moment, the northern expedition army was scattered, and the number of dead cultivators rose straight up.
On the other side, perhaps because the senses of the ferocious beasts and divine beasts exceeded that of ordinary cultivators, most of them could distinguish the roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree and attack to destroy them.
Because the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream was not far from the top, only more than 3,000 kilometers deep, when many people were fighting the Mine Demons, if they were not careful, they would take one more step and were directly flushed to the bottom of the water.
The consequences of this sprint were immeasurable.
Han Fei said to Chen Tianya telepathically, “Take your men to retreat. Be ready to go out at any time.”
Chen Tianya was taken aback for a moment, but he didn’t doubt him. Along the way, he just needed to follow orders. Now that the situation was so chaotic, it was definitely not suitable for them to continue to explore. It seemed that they had to go out and regroup.
Just as Chen Tianya retreated to the rear, he suddenly saw spots of light flashing. He saw bloody hands attacking him.
Bang!
Boom!
“Puff ~”
There weren’t many of them. At first, there were only a dozen or so, but then it became one or two hundred.
The unstoppable situation of the northern expedition army was reversed the moment the Bloody Hand Mine Devils arrived. Almost every strike of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil could kill a strong master.
Before anyone realized what was going on, they discovered that thousands of strong masters had died.
At this time, Han Fei glanced at Wushuang. “Let’s retreat!”
When Wushuang saw Chen Tianya retreating, she had already informed the team of the Capital of Horror to retreat.
The ferocious beasts and divine beasts were very shrewd. Because they had a stronger perception of danger, they directly evacuated after confirming that the northern expedition army had fallen into chaos. Under such circumstances, it was not suitable for fighting at all.
At this moment, Wushuang finally shouted, “Everyone, evacuate and give up on this exploration.”
With that, Wushuang left, ignoring the others.
The strong masters who had been fighting crazily and felt that there were minerals everywhere fled crazily, trying to rush out of the Mine Demon Stream.
Too strong! It was not until the array was broken that they realized how horrifying the army of mine demons was. And that was not all. They saw with their own eyes that a Bloody Hand Mine Devil broke through the array and made ten peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators vomit blood.
In less than half an hour, one figure after another rushed out of the Mine Demon Stream in a sorry state.
When no one came out of the Mine Demon Stream anymore, Han Fei glanced at the current number of the northern expedition army, 12,998. Yes, in just half an hour, nearly a thousand people of the northern expedition army had died.
On the other hand, neither the ferocious beasts nor the divine beasts were killed.
Han Fei shook his head. “A bunch of garbage.”
Someone immediately shouted, “What did you say?”
Han Fei raised his head and sneered. “I said you were a bunch of garbage.”
