"Such a large mining area?"
Hundreds of meters away from the bloodstone mine, Grimm muttered to himself as he lurked in ambush.
A diameter of tens of thousands of meters and a depth of more than two thousand meters, like a spiral pattern, spiraling downward like a sharp cone inserted into the ground.
Although the mining area had been abandoned due to the invasion of the Sorcerer's Shadow, it could still be seen that at least tens of thousands of miners had to work together for hundreds of years in order to mine to such a scale.
"Grimm, you haven't been to the Sorcerer World's truly large energy crystal mining area, have you?"
Claytia asked from the side.
Grimm thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Do the mining areas in the Stigmata Crater count during the Sorcerer-Apprentice Area Academy War?"
"Of course not!"
Claudia immediately rejected the idea. "Those mining areas are all similar to the Blood Essence Stone in front of us. They are all mining areas that require meticulous manual selection. The scale of the mining areas is not even worth mentioning compared to the truly massive mining areas."
Looking at Grimm's thoughtful expression, Claytia knew that her explanation had worked.
"That's right. Any Crystal Stone mining area that requires meticulous manual selection like this will definitely not produce large amounts of Crystal Stones. It will be classified as a rare Crystal Stone mining area. Therefore, it is better to give up on the large-scale promotion of the Abyssal Moss cultivation model in the Infernal Spirit World. "
"Yes."
Grimm nodded and came to the edge of the mine. He suddenly said, "Since we are here, let's go down and have a look and collect some ore samples."
Although the method of large-scale cultivation of the Abyssal Moss had been cut off, this bloodstone was still worthy of Grimm's further research.
Since the crystal contained the rich blood energy of this world, unless it was due to the evolution of the world's laws, it must mean that some ancient war had taken place in this world, forming the phenomenon of blood energy accumulation.
"Whoosh, whoosh."
Grimm and Claudia flew towards the bottom of the mine and landed halfway down the mine.
This place had been meticulously searched by many miners, so naturally, there would not be any blood crystals on the surface. However, as a sorcerer, Grimm and Claudia's method of searching for energy crystals was not limited to their eyes that could sense light sources, but also the perception of the Force of Nature.
In just a short while, Grimm and Claytia had some results.
Under the sun, these bloodstones of the Infernal Spirit World were bright red, the color was pure and fresh, which matched the aesthetic standards of this world.
This was one of the reasons why the Acraepoids could invest so much labor and energy into large-scale mining.
Grimm melted the Sanguine Crystal in his hand with the Force of Nature and guided out the Blood Energy within it. Grimm carefully sensed the energy composition within.
After a while, Grimm seemed to have gained something.
"This bloodstone contains about twenty-five to thirty-five percent of the Acraepoid's blood. As for the rest of the blood energy, I can clearly identify two other organisms and some other indiscernible components."
After all, this was not a laboratory, and it was quite a feat for him.
Suddenly, there was a flash on Grimm's shoulder. Little Eight appeared.
"Young Master! You finally called me out. How long do you want me to wait in there, sob sob sob … "
Little Myna pretended to be aggrieved. Grimm threw two of the Bloodstones that he had collected to Little Myna and comforted him, "Alright, alright, you'll be fine after a few more days. Take these Bloodstones and play with them."
"Sob sob sob, we agreed on a few days!"
With the bloodstone in her mouth, Little Eight looked at Grimm with tears in her eyes and a face full of grievance, then returned to the Dimensional Gap.
"Hehe, Your Excellency Grimm, your soul partner is really interesting."
Claytia covered her mouth and giggled.
Grimm shook his head and continued to walk down the mine. It seemed that he wanted to collect some samples from different areas of the mine to ensure the completeness of the experimental data.
"Hmm?"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Grimm and Claytia exclaimed in surprise and quickly flew towards a certain direction in the mine. Both of them could clearly sense the fluctuation of a magical array!
"Seems like it's the highest achievement of the Abyssal Moss in this vassal country."
Claytia laughed. This seemingly unexpected discovery was completely within reason.
Cultivating and spreading the Abyssal Moss in each vassal country was a Rank-3 Honor Badge mission. Usually, there would be a dozen to thirty Demon-Hunter Sorcerers who would accept the mission together, but only the most accomplished Demon-Hunter Sorcerer would receive a Rank-3 Honor Badge.
The Abyssal Moss in other vassal countries was still in the latent growth and spreading stage, but this vassal country was already in the stage of large-scale growth. The biggest reason was that a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer had used a bloodstone to replace the energy crystal in the cultivation magical array.
The two came to the magical array. After a while, they easily opened the array. At the same time, they seemed to have triggered some warning mechanism, but they did not care.
The hidden cave was filled with the light of magic lamps.
"Roar!"
One of the Soul Slaves had a strong body and looked like a canine creature. After roaring at Grimm and Claudia, the two of them slightly mobilized the Force of Nature. The Soul Slave sensed that the two of them were sorcerers and immediately became as obedient as a kitten, letting out hissing sounds to please the two of them.
"Hehe."
Claytia smiled and threw a sorcerer's stone at the Soul Slave. The Soul Slave took it away. Grimm walked step by step, looking into the depths of the cave. One by one, the Acraepoids looked at him excitedly.
"We're saved, we're saved, an Acraepoid Warrior found us!"
"Sob sob sob, we can finally leave this place …"
Hundreds of Acraepoids ran over, crying. Some were dressed in rags, but most were naked. They cried at the Acraepoid Warrior that Grimm was disguised as.
Grimm could not hear them clearly, but he knew that these Acraepoids were begging him to save them and escape this cave.
"Cough, cough."
Green cleared his throat and motioned for everyone to quiet down. Then, he asked in a deep voice, "Who imprisoned you here?"
An Acraepoid in front of Grimm raised his head.
"A sorcerer! A powerful, cruel, evil sorcerer! We've been here for a long time. He would come here every once in a while. If we don't hand in enough rubies, he would kill some of us at random. "
Among the Acraepoids, the most prestigious male Acraepoid said sadly. His eyes were filled with desire as he looked at Grimm.
"Huh? An evil sorcerer!? "
Grimm looked angry and asked, "How many rubies did he ask you to hand in?"
"Five hundred, not one less. Every ten missing will kill one of us!"
The Acraepoid's voice was full of hatred.
"How many rubies do you have now?" Grimm asked with a 'worried' expression.
After a commotion, the Acraepoids took out more than four hundred rubies. The Acraepoid leader said sadly, "We're still short of a dozen rubies. We're trying our best to find them, but according to the usual time, the evil sorcerer should be here soon. My Lord, please save us and leave this place. We're willing to give all these rubies to you!"
As he spoke, the Acraepoids knelt down.
Grimm did not touch the rubies. Suddenly, he asked in a strange voice, "Have you never thought of saving yourselves and escaping from here?"
"Of course, but we don't know how long it will take to dig through that secret passage, and that monster …"
The Acraepoid leader who was talking to Grimm suddenly froze. He pointed behind Grimm and trembled in fear, "Sorcerer … Sorcerer, my Lord, behind you, the sorcerer!"
The Acraepoid leader mumbled incoherently. Fear had seeped into his bones.
However, to the astonishment of the Acraepoids, the sorcerer who had suddenly returned bowed respectfully to Grimm and said in surprise, "Master."
From the eyes of the middle-aged sorceress, many of the Acraepoids could see a look of extreme honor.
It was as if the sorcerer felt lucky to be able to talk to Grimm at such a close distance.
Grimm nodded at the sorcerer and said with a satisfied look, "Not bad, you've done a good job in the Abyssal Moss spreading mission. I'll submit a mission report to the Battle Command and give you an additional reward."
To the disbelief of the Acraepoids, Grimm, an Acraepoid warrior, said such words.
"Thank you, Master!"
The female Sorcerer's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Mm."
Grimm nodded slightly and left the cave with Claudia. He did not look at the imprisoned Acraepoids again.
"Sorcerer … You, you're a sorcerer too!"
The Acraepoid leader howled and roared at Grimm. However, what awaited him was only the middle-aged sorceress's sinister smile. She said with a sinister expression, "Since you're still short of ten rubies, then go to hell!"
After a loud bang, the sorcerer's voice was hoarse and unquestionable, "Speak! The secret passage that you're planning to escape from … where is it!? "
