"Why is the Earth Spirit Vein so shallow?" Li Gan asked in confusion.
"The depth of the Earth Spirit Vein depends on itself, but the Earth Spirit Vein is huge, like the blood vessels in a human body. Some are buried ten thousand meters underground, and some are even hundreds of thousands of meters deep. This Earth Spirit Vein runs through Giant-Rock Ridge. Although I estimate that it should be thirty thousand meters deep, this time the Earth Spirit Vein is angry, it's not normal." The Demon Baby said calmly.
"What will happen?"
"Of course this has something to do with the Golden Scale Sect. They have been excavating the Fire Essence Stones on the Earth Spirit Vein for a long time, so of course the Earth Spirit Vein would be angry!"
"Could it be that the Earth Spirit Vein has intelligence?" Li Gan was surprised.
The Demon Baby looked at Li Gan helplessly. "Big Brother, you have to think about it carefully. Giant-Rock Ridge has existed since ancient times. From the perspective of life, this Earth Spirit Vein has already given birth to its own unique life form. These Fire Essence Stones are naturally the essence of the Earth Spirit Vein. If it is excavated for a long time, of course … it's not good …"
Before the Demonic Neonate could finish speaking, the ground rumbled once more.
Li Gan saw that the ground beneath his feet was trembling uncontrollably. Not far away, a powerful wave of scorching air rushed towards him from the ravine.
"Not good!" Li Gan took a few steps back.
"No, it's not good. It's just that there seems to be a strong ancient aura in this wave of heat … I feel that it should be …"
"Li Gan, look, that's your battle sword!"
Without waiting for the Demon Baby to finish speaking, Wu Yan gently pulled Li Gan. Li Gan looked up and saw more than thirty Golden-Eyed Black Eagles flying in the sky above his mine. There was a golden-armored guard standing on the back of each eagle. The man in the lead was wearing a purple battle robe and carrying a rusty battle sword on his back. This man was none other than the man in purple who took away Li Gan's battle sword.
"Don't get excited …" Tiege pulled Li Gan and said in a hoarse voice, "He's called Xiang Zucheng. You don't know, but that guy is the right-hand man of the Golden Scale Saintess. He is deeply trusted by the Golden Scale Sect. His strength at the early stage of the Golden Deities makes his position in Giant-Rock Ridge even more prominent."
"Golden Deities!" Li Gan suppressed the anger in his heart and clenched his fists. A Golden Deities expert was far from someone he could challenge.
"Everyone, listen up. Pile up the waste rocks in the mine above the gully and think of a way to block the Earth Core Fire." Xiang Zucheng didn't notice Li Gan's existence at all. One had to know that he was a figure above all in Giant-Rock Ridge. A slave like Li Gan couldn't enter his eyes at all.
"Yes!" Overseer Qiao answered first, and the other supervisors followed suit.
Xiang Zucheng glanced at Overseer Qiao and waved to the golden-armored guard behind him. "Let's go, we'll go underground and take a look!"
The Golden-Eyed Black Eagle let out a clear cry and flew straight underground, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.
"You guys, what are you doing? Didn't you hear Xiang Zucheng's order? "
Just as Li Gan and the other two were about to escape from this troublesome place, Overseer Qiao's angry shout came from behind. Li Gan looked back and saw Overseer Qiao raising the iron whip in his hand towards Li Gan's back.
…
In the palace of Giant-Rock Ridge!
"Holy Nun, the Hierarch sent someone to send a message." A female slave ran quickly into Shangguan Ying's bedroom.
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered? " Shangguan Ying was playing with a fist-sized Flaming Essence Stone. The fiery red Flaming Essence Stone emitted a soft light. Layers of spiritual energy slowly spread out from the crystal clear Flaming Essence Stone. From afar, one could feel the strong spiritual energy contained in it. This was the best of the Flaming Essence Stones, enough to make any divine cultivator go crazy. Shangguan Ying was naturally more infatuated with this rare treasure.
"There's news from Tong Zhou. The Five Virtues Sect and Wuji Pavilion have been active recently. Lao Changyan's second son left Tong Zhou with his guards yesterday. Along with him was the number one master of the Five Virtues Sect, Tian Yongming. The Hierarch suspects that they may be carrying out the final plan against our Giant-Rock Ridge. He has already contacted the other five major factions, but they were all rejected. The Hierarch predicted that our Giant-Rock Ridge will set off a bloody storm! "
"What will come will come." Shangguan Ying's pretty face was cold, and a trace of killing intent flashed in her eyes. She said indifferently, "Is there any strange phenomenon around our Giant-Rock Ridge?"
The female slave respectfully said, "Holy Nun, there is no discovery for the time being."
"Good, good, as long as he dares to target our Giant-Rock Ridge, I'll make sure he never returns!" Shangguan Ying suddenly turned to the female slave and said, "Pass down my order, if you find the whereabouts of the Five Virtues Sect and the second son of Tong Zhou, report to me immediately. Remember, you must treat them with respect."
"Treat them with respect?!" The female slave was a little surprised.
"Yes! After all, our Golden Scale Sect has not fallen out with them yet. I don't want Giant-Rock Ridge to be the fuse! "
"Yes!"
The female slave bowed and retreated.
…
Rumble!!
The ground in the mine shook violently, and a series of rumbling noises sounded like hundreds of horses galloping across the ground. A powerful burning aura mixed with an evil aura poured into the ground from the ground. Boom boom boom … The terrifying rumbling noises in the mine seemed to be never-ending. The ground shook violently, and all the slaves and supervisors gathered together in fear.
A large number of boulders did not stop the raging fire in the ravine. The raging fire was like a volcanic eruption, and a strong flame spewed out from the ravine. Thousands of slaves who were closer to it died tragically one after another. Even the outer area where Li Gan was was was surging with raging fire.
"Good, good, good! It's really helping me! " Looking at the doomsday-like scene in front of him, Li Gan's heart had never been so carefree. Although he could usually capture thirty or forty Souls of Life, how could it be compared with thousands of Souls of Life at this time?
Li Gan looked at Wu Yan and whispered, "Protect me!"
Sitting cross-legged, Li Gan condensed a mouthful of spiritual power and suddenly spat it out toward the surroundings. In an instant, it wrapped around hundreds of Souls of Life, swallowed them into his dantian, and began to slowly refine them.
Many Souls of Life entered his dantian, and Li Gan could clearly see clouds of green gas rising from his Qi Sea, moistening his dry skin.
Was this the lifespan that was plundered?!
Li Gan's heart was shocked, and the long-lost excitement suddenly appeared in his heart. Once again, he used the secret art to wrap the Souls of Life in the mine.
The ground in the mine shook more and more frequently, and the roar from the depths of the earth became louder and louder. The raging fire in the gully seemed to be out of control. Waves of fire suddenly swept in the mine, and countless lives were swallowed by the fire. There was chaos in the mine. All the supervisors drove their slaves and began to intercept the raging fire in the gully.
What Li Gan didn't expect was that Overseer Qiao didn't come, which gave him a very precious opportunity to capture the essence of life day and night. Wu Yan naturally began to use the rich spiritual energy in the mine to madly impact the blocked meridians in his body.
Unknowingly, half a month had passed. The towering ores on the edge of the gully may have really played a role. Although the earth's core fire was still raging, it still couldn't cross the gully. This made everyone relax a little. It must be known that the ore fortress on the edge of the gully was exchanged with the lives of tens of thousands of slaves.
The supervisors continued to urge their slaves to start the next round of mining.
Boom!
An earth-shattering sound came from underground.
Kacha!!
The earth seemed to have been cut by some kind of divine weapon, and it actually split from the middle.
The raging fire from the ground suddenly rushed out of the crack and swept toward the slaves in the mine like a flood.
The mine had reached an unprecedented high temperature. The raging fire mercilessly swallowed the lives, and the scorching temperature had reached a terrifying level.
Wave after wave of raging fire began to surge wildly in all directions.
Li Gan, Wu Yan, and Tiege seized the opportunity when Overseer Qiao was not watching and secretly sneaked up more than three hundred meters into the mine. They hid under a boulder similar to a hill.
"Li Gan, why do I have a hunch that the raging fire won't sweep over here!" Wu Yan looked at the raging fire warily and frowned.
"This is definitely not an ordinary earthquake." Li Gan gave up the opportunity to capture the Essence of Life. In the depths of the mine, the raging fire was still spreading. The supervisors did not care about the lives of the slaves at all, and urged a large number of slaves to carry huge ores and pile them up in front of them.
Tiege looked up at the endless raging fire, and a trace of fear flashed through his scarlet eyes: "The Essence Fire Mine has always been peaceful. As far as I know, this has never happened in the past two thousand years. Is something big going to happen?"
"What are you three hiding there for? Get the hell over here! " Overseer Qiao, who had disappeared for a long time, finally appeared behind the three of them. He waved the iron whip in his hand and coldly looked at the three of them.
Li Gan and the other two turned around and looked at Overseer Qiao with the same cold eyes.
"What? The three of you, are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to rebel? " Overseer Qiao's eyes clearly showed a trace of fear. Now was the most chaotic time, and if three Heavenly God experts were to target him at the same time, he naturally wouldn't have a chance to escape.
"So what if we rebel?" Li Gan's face showed an evil smile that hadn't been seen for a long time.
"Rebel?" Overseer Qiao coldly looked at the three of them, and suddenly waved his hand: "Guards!"
A group of golden armored guards riding on Golden-Eyed Black Eagles flew in front of the three of them.
"I'm just asking what the result of a rebellion is." Li Gan's face became as ugly as it could be. He didn't want to fight against more than ten Heavenly God experts with just the three of them. Besides, no one could be sure whether there were Golden Deities hiding in the dark.
"Old fart, you better not play tricks with me. Now, I'll give you a chance, as long as the three of you swear allegiance to my Golden Scale Sect."
"I'm a realistic person, and I won't do it without benefits!" Li Gan winked at Wu Yan.
"I didn't think about the benefits, I just want to hear the Overseer tell us the consequences of being loyal to the Golden Scale Sect." Wu Yan understood tacitly.
The two of them sang together, truly reaching a flawless level.
