"Eat. Eat as much as you can," Zhou Wen ordered Tyrant Behemoth.
Tyrant Behemoth roared and swallowed the chest of Primordial Crystals that Zhou Wen had opened. After chewing a few times, it swallowed them. It wasn't afraid of indigestion.
Following that, Tyrant Behemoth didn't even look at them. It opened its mouth and bit the metal chests, crushing them in two bites. Its bite force was just too astonishing. It ate metal and Primordial Crystals like they were jelly beans.
Zhou Wen didn't idle either. He opened a few chests and saw that they were filled with Primordial Crystals. He directly stored them into his Chaos Bead and placed them in one chest after another.
These were all money. Zhou Wen was used to being poor, so he had never seen so many valuable items. Anyway, he was moving them into the Chaos Bead.
It wasn't that he had never seen good things, but those good things were in-game. No matter how many good things he had, he couldn't take them out. These Primordial Crystals were good things that could be used in the real world. Even if he sold them, he could sell them for a good price. If he needed any Companion Eggs or Primordial Energy Skill Crystals, he wouldn't need to waste time grinding.
Now that he had money, he could use it to buy them.
Previously, Zhou Wen didn't know that there were so many Primordial Crystals stored here. He imagined that he had to get Tyrant Behemoth to mine, but to his surprise, it had already dug them up and placed them here.
If he had known this would happen, Zhou Wen would have long come. He wouldn't have waited for Tyrant Behemoth to evolve. He could have emptied the place himself.
Tyrant Behemoth ate crate after crate, while Zhou Wen moved crate after crate into his chaos space. The man and pet were in a frenzy.
At that moment, Zhou Wen suddenly thought of a great person's famous saying: "Working people are the most glorious."
Zhou Wen didn't know how many chests he had filled into the Chaos Bead. Apart from the ones he had moved in, the rest had been devoured by Tyrant Behemoth. He didn't know what this fellow's stomach was made of. After eating nearly a thousand chests of Primordial Crystals, its stomach didn't bulge at all.
Seeing Tyrant Behemoth look at him longingly, Zhou Wen subconsciously held his Chaos Bead tightly. Then, he rolled his eyes and said to Tyrant Behemoth, "This is a Primordial Crystal mine. There must be many unmined Primordial Crystal mines outside. Let's go eat outside. You can eat as much as you want."
Tyrant Behemoth seemed to understand Zhou Wen as its eyes lit up like light bulbs. With a roar, it slammed its head into the ground.
"No matter how excited you are, you can't hit your head, right? Gluttons are indeed brainless, Zhou Wen thought.
However, to everyone's surprise, Tyrant Behemoth slammed its head into the warehouse's ground. The horns on its head spun, opening a huge hole in the rock before burrowing down.
Zhou Wen hurriedly followed it. Tyrant Behemoth drilled for a while before suddenly opening its mouth and biting at the rocks. Only then did Zhou Wen realize that Essence Crystal ores had begun to appear in the surrounding rocks. They were like sparkling stars.
Zhou Wen had never seen Tyrant Behemoth use its Mountain Devouring skill in a fight, but now, he had really seen it. It turned out that its skill wasn't used for fighting, but for eating.
Tyrant Behemoth's mouth was like a black hole as it swallowed the rocks mixed with Essence Crystal ores. It was like a miniature black hole.
Zhou Wen was already satisfied with taking so many Essence Crystals, so he allowed Tyrant Behemoth to devour the Essence Crystal mine.
Shen Yuchi was currently in Cai Jin's office. The Essence Crystal mine was the economic lifeline of the bureau. Shen Yuchi had told Cai Jin that unless he came personally, no one was allowed to take a single Essence Crystal from here.
In order to purchase the Aurora Pith, he had no choice but to use some of the Essence Crystals in his inventory. However, this was just a drop in the bucket compared to the Essence Crystals in his inventory. Shen Yuchi wasn't worried about future financial problems.
With the Essence Crystal mine as his backing, even if he didn't receive any funding for ten years, the bureau could still lead a comfortable life. Furthermore, the six families definitely wouldn't stop the bureau's funding next year. After all, there were so many descendants of the six families working in the bureau. Even if he didn't want it, the six families would definitely give it to him in the future.
"Cai Jin, it's been hard on you to guard the Essence Crystal mine all these years." Shen Yuchi had always thought highly of Cai Jin. Although he was not the strongest of the four Censors, he was the steadiest one. He did things flawlessly. He had guarded the Primordial Crystal mine for so many years and had never made a single mistake. It could be said that he was very conscientious.
"Director-General, you're welcome. This is what I should do," Cai Jin said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing. He knew Shen Yuchi's temper. If he appeared to be too proud of himself, he would probably incur Shen Yuchi's displeasure.
"Yes, wait another two years. In two years, the position of Deputy Director-General will be vacant. I plan on recommending you to take over," Shen Yuchi said.
"Thank you for your nurturing, Director-General." Cai Jin was truly delighted this time.
The four Censors sounded very famous, but in fact, they were Shen Yuchi's subordinates. However, it was different to become the Deputy Director-General. He would be in a position of power.
Just as Shen Yuchi was about to say something, an inspector suddenly knocked on the door and entered. He reported, "Sir, the people guarding the valley entrance have sent news that someone has invaded Don't Cry Valley."
"Do you know who it is?" Cai Jin's expression didn't change much. Over the years, various factions had sent countless people to spy on the Essence Crystal mine, but all of them returned empty-handed. He had seen it too many times.
"I don't know. That person was too fast. They couldn't see him clearly, but the surveillance cameras captured the scene. They printed it as a photo and brought it with them." With that said, the inspector handed a few photos to Cai Jin.
After Cai Jin received it, he handed it to Shen Yuchi with both hands. With Shen Yuchi around, he naturally had to let him see it first.
Shen Yuchi looked at the photo and saw that the person was covered in stone-like armor. He couldn't see the face at all, but he felt that the stone armor was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
"Cai Jin, what do you think?" Shen Yuchi pushed the photo in front of Cai Jin. He trusted Cai Jin very much.
Cai Jin looked at the photo and couldn't tell who it was, but he didn't panic. He said with a smile, "I've planted many Companion Beasts in the bamboo forest as informants. Those Companion Beasts were originally dropped by dimensional creatures in Don't Cry Valley. They aren't affected by the mysterious power of Don't Cry Valley. At the same time, it's very difficult for them to attract the attention of ordinary people. Even if the person can discover a portion of them, it's impossible for him to find all three hundred Companion Beasts. As long as the person is discovered by a Companion Beast, I will sense it and determine his location. Up to now, none of the Companion Beasts have reacted. It means that the person hasn't entered the bamboo forest, or he has already died under the mysterious power of Don't Cry Valley. "
