The group was speechless.
Lu Siya gritted her teeth and said, "Elder Zhang, I will apply to the corporation to give the mine explorers double the compensation for their deaths. Scimitar, it's the same for your teammates. Even if they are injured, I will give them 30% more than what we agreed on in the contract.
I'll say it again. As long as we find the Red Radiance Jade mine, the entire world will be ours! "
The group looked at each other and cast aside their unprofessional emotions. They started working again.
They used a special underground sound wave detector to scan the area around the cave in search of high-energy reactions and cracks that led to a larger space.
Another mine explorer from Sky Pillar Corporation sat down cross-legged and mumbled under his breath. Fine spirit tattoos appeared nonstop at his temples, eyes, and the center of his brows.
Lin Chuan told Meng Chao that this mine explorer had a superpower. He could sense the slightest change in wind speed and direction. He could also accurately determine the temperature and humidity. He was like a human weather station.
Under his guidance, the group soon found a corner of the cave.
The seemingly sturdy wall was covered in winding cracks. Gusts of wind seeped through the dark cracks. The wall was very wet, and there were some creatures that looked like moss growing on it. The most important thing was that there was a beautiful, bewitching, and dangerous Blood Flower settlement beside the crack at the bottom of the wall.
"There must be a larger space behind the crack. The wall isn't too thick. The Blood Flowers must have spread out from behind it." Lu Siya came to a conclusion.
The feedback from the sound wave detector supported her deduction.
After Professor Ye collected a sample, two superhumans from Sharp Blade carried flamethrowers and burned the original Blood Flower stalk to the ground.
Zhang Weiyan and the other veteran mine explorers from Sky Pillar Corporation went forward and placed their palms on the wall. They closed their eyes and released their spirit energy to sense the thickness, structure, and composition of the wall.
After discussing for a while, they used a geologic hammer and rock spikes to quickly carve runic symbols on the wall.
They were all support-type runic symbols related to the structure of the earth, so Meng Chao naturally knew nothing about them.
They danced around, and in just a short half an hour, they drew more than one thousand profound and complicated runic symbols that were connected to each other in a space that had a diameter of around three meters. They formed a complicated runic formation.
Then, he slowly poured the runic ink made of superbeast blood and underground spirit liquid into the runic ink through the opening at the top of the runic formation.
A miraculous thing happened. The ink did not flow everywhere along the rock wall. Instead, it seemed to be guided by a mysterious force and flowed in the ravines of the runes. Soon, it flowed to every stroke and emitted a faint light.
A few experienced mine explorers sat cross-legged and chanted incantations, releasing powerful brainwaves.
Their vitality magnetic fields resonated with the spirit energy magnetic field created by the rune arrays, which stimulated the powerful spirit energy contained in the rune ink. It reached the atomic energy shell of the rock and changed the nature of the matter at the atomic level.
An incredible scene took place. The previously indestructible rock stratum gradually softened under the surge of spiritual energy and turned into a substance similar to sand. It collapsed without a sound, revealing a narrow, long tunnel.
However, the rocks outside the range of the runes still maintained their sturdy structure, enough to support the existence of the tunnel.
This was not the first time Meng Chao witnessed the wonders of runic symbols.
But every time he saw this amazing power that could change the atomic structure of matter by gathering sand into a tower and turning stone into gold, he gasped in amazement, just like everyone else, and could not understand it.
Even the superhumans who used this power did not know the reason behind it. They could only vaguely say that the runic symbols were projections of spirit energy magnetic fields on a flat surface and could connect a human's vitality magnetic field to the planet's magnetic field. In fact, they could even connect the magnetic fields of the universe between the stars. Even they did not know what it was.
Up to this date, the principles behind runic symbols were still a mystery.
Earthlings had only discovered these strange symbols that were similar to words in the ancient ruins under the Supernatural Tower after they transmigrated to the Other World. They could activate great power.
This caused people to be filled with interest toward the true face of the Other World.
Many people believed that the Other World was not a barbaric planet with only monsters.
Millions of years ago, there should have been a highly developed civilization here.
But due to various reasons, they were unfortunately destroyed and only left behind ruins that recorded their past glory. They were then inherited by Earthlings who had transmigrated here by chance.
Why were they so certain that the ancient civilization had already been destroyed?
It was simple. Even with Earth's technology during the middle and later stages of the twenty-first century, if an alien city transmigrated to Earth as a whole, regardless of whether it landed in the Sahara Desert or the Amazon Rainforest, humans would discover it within twenty-four hours. In at most three days, humans would take action and come into contact with the alien city.
But Dragon City had transmigrated to the Other World for more than half a century.
They had yet to discover any organized and intelligent native tribes in the Other World.
Even if they were shrouded in fog, it did not make sense.
Hence, even if there was an Other World civilization in the depths of the fog, their society and technology development level would definitely not be high. They were bound to be crushed by Earthlings' steel army.
'Conquer the Other World, explore and inherit the power of the ancient civilization. Then, with the incredibly advanced power of the ancient civilization, we will return to Earth in a grand fashion and help Earth's civilization move from the era of planets to the era of stars and become the rulers of the galaxy!'
This was the greatest dream many Dragon Citizens had buried deep in their hearts.
That included Meng Chao before he returned to the past.
Right then, he naturally knew just how far away this dream was.
The Other World had organized and intelligent natives.
They had long since forgotten the glory of the ancient civilization and even treated their ancestors' outstanding technology as magic and curses.
But destruction was always easier than construction.
The automatic rifles in the hands of the natives could also kill a fully armed modern person.
After the Monster War, the intelligent natives of the Other World would bring great trouble to Earthlings.
If they wanted to completely get rid of this trouble, they had to use the smallest price and the shortest amount of time to win the Monster War so that Dragon City could fight against the races of the Other World at full health.
They had to win the northern offense.
There was a high possibility that the key to everything was right in front of them.
This was why Meng Chao was willing to take the risk and go underground.
It was definitely not for the reward.
It was also not for Lu Siya's slender, straight, round, powerful, and smooth thighs.
It was for his comrades, for the future, and for Earth's civilization.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Chuan asked softly.
Meng Chao was shocked. "It's nothing. I'm not doing it for the thighs."
Lin Chuan was stunned. "What thighs?"
Meng Chao scratched his head. "The thighs of Demonic Halberd Pigs. I'm hungry."
"You have to be careful. We're about to enter the area where the spirit energy ley lines gather. I can sense that the spirit energy magnetic field around us is getting stronger, and it might affect our minds," Lin Chuan said sternly.
"The closer we get to the spirit energy ley lines, the more likely our brains will be affected. Our most primitive emotions and desires will be magnified, and we'll gradually reveal our true nature. In fact, it might even devour our rationality and turn us into something completely different.
"So, don't let your thoughts run wild. Focus on the mission. Remember to sit down and meditate for a while every half an hour or an hour. Make sure that your mental strength index is constantly around 100%."
"Got it. Thank you, Big Brother Lin."
"We're brothers. We even saved each other's lives just now. There's no need to thank me. Let's go. We're all going in now."
The mine explorers moved through the tunnel.
Every once in a while, the veteran mine explorers would carve runic symbols on the walls to turn the stones into sand so that the tunnel would continue going deeper into the rock stratum.
When support-class superhumans cast this sort of "magic", it was as easy as fighting-class superhumans releasing killing moves.
The faces of the veteran mine explorers, including Zhang Weiyan, started visibly withering away. They had to take gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid before they meditated for a long time to regulate their breathing.
Fortunately, there were still a lot of fighting-class superhumans in the team.
Based on the investigations of the geologists, the rock stratum in this area was very sturdy and could withstand powerful shockwaves.
The three Heaven Realm superhumans and the Sharp Blade superhumans at the peak of Earth Realm took turns to attack the rocks. They used the simplest and crudest method to attack the rocks.
Even though they did not have the elegance of the veteran mine explorers, they still managed to make the tunnel continue extending forward.
Lu Siya's eyes sparkled. She cheered her team members on and said that she could sense an increasingly stronger spirit energy reaction. There was definitely a spirit energy ley line not far ahead of them.
In the end, after three hours, they cleared the tunnel and entered an even wider underground space.
"Whoa!"
The first mine explorer to stumble in was shocked by the grand and beautiful scene in front of him, and he sucked in a sharp breath.
The people who surged in after him were also dazzled and dumbfounded.
What appeared in front of them was a colorful crystal palace.
Regardless of whether it was the walls, stone pillars, or stalagmites, all of them were semi-transparent and shone with a faint fluorescent light. The light was like water that flowed slowly in the air.
Forget about Earth, even in the Other World, veteran mine explorers like Zhang Weiyan rarely saw such a beautiful scene.
"Red Pillar Crystal!"
"Multi-blue Shining Crystal!"
"Heavenly Bronze!"
"Purple Snake Stone!"
"Strange Fire Pyroxene!"
"There are so many crystal mines gathered together, and their purity is really high. The difficulty in mining them is really low. As long as we get rid of the Apocalyptic Beasts on the surface, we can use large drilling equipment to reach this place. It's basically a treasure that we can easily obtain!"
Zhang Weiyan's white beard trembled.
The fatigue from continuously carving and activating dozens of runic formations disappeared without a trace. His dry blood vessels seemed to have been filled by the magic of the crystals, and he instantly became more than ten years younger.
The members of Scimitar and Sharp Blade were also beaming.
Even the pale-faced injured person whose arm had been bitten off by the Lion Dragon Fish was delighted.
Under the illumination of the ever-changing light from the crystals, all the muscles on their faces squirmed.
