Lu Chen's safety was the top priority of the Earth Alliance. Ensuring that he could come online on time was naturally more important than anything else.
What process, what public opinion, there was no need to consider at all. Secretary Lin let him go immediately!
However, Lu Yi still blamed herself. "Brother, it's all my fault for being careless." Returning home, Lu Yi lowered her head and looked wronged.
Lu Chen rubbed her head. "Silly, which decent person has a gun? But this time, I've learned my lesson. You still have to be careful in the future."
"When people can extract more attributes in the future, don't be so careless."
"Okay, I know." Lu Yi pouted. "Oh right, brother, you can actually catch a bullet with your bare hands. You, how many attributes do you have?"
"A few tens of thousands." Lu Chen said casually. "In the Fifth Heaven, as long as you have the Extraction Scroll, you can extract your attributes directly. There's no upper limit."
"A few tens of thousands! Brother, then aren't you a real superman now? "
Lu Chen shook his head. "There are too many Fifth Heaven powerhouses. My current ranking is below two million. It's still too bad."
"Below two million! The Fifth Heaven is so scary. "
It was rare for the two siblings to go out and encounter trouble, but this also reflected Lu Chen's current status on Earth.
At the same time, it tested Lu Chen's physical strength. His current strength had far exceeded the limits of humans!
Lu Yi was also very envious of this. She only wanted to work harder and enter the Fifth Heaven as soon as possible.
On Red Hair's side, he definitely wouldn't have a good time. Lu Chen and Lu Yi should also come online again.
…
After teleporting back, Lu Chen rested for a night. The next morning, he continued to rush to Autumn Lake.
The closer he was to King City, the more prosperous the surroundings became. Large and small cities appeared frequently. Even the official roads became wider and smoother.
Those who flew in the sky on their mounts were probably high officials and nobles. They had flying privileges, and they also had powerful mounts and sufficient spiritual power.
Autumn Lake was southwest of King City. Lu Chen went straight in the direction of Autumn Lake.
Walking on the wide official road, Lu Chen found that there was a large number of soldiers in front of him. It seemed that the road had been sealed.
This seemed to be the only main road to Autumn Water Lake. If they took a detour, they would have to walk a long way.
Lu Chen stepped forward and was about to ask.
"Stop! You can't leave here. "
Lu Chen looked behind the barricade. There didn't seem to be anything special, so he asked, "Big brother, what's going on in front? Why can't we leave? "
"Why do you ask so many questions? If I tell you that you can't leave, you can't leave! Go away! "
Lu Chen took out a bag of spirit stones from his backpack. There were about 100 of them.
"Big Brother, I've been walking for a few days. If I can't walk from here, I'll have to walk for a few more days. Big Brother, you must be tired. Let's go to the side and rest."
Seeing the Spirit Stones in Lu Chen's hand, the soldier's attitude immediately softened a lot. "Now that you mention it, I am indeed a little tired."
The two of them came behind a big tree. After some secret operations, Lu Chen asked, "Big Brother, why can't we go over there?"
"Hey, I think you're a rogue cultivator. You must not be well-informed. There was originally a Spirit Stone mine in front, but it was attacked later. You know about the previous Heavenly Demon and Dwarf Spirit Stone mines, right? They were attacked by that thing. "
"I'm telling you, you'd better not go. The scene was really … really disgusting! Everyone was only left with skin. There were no wounds on their bodies, but you could still see their horrified expressions before they died. I only took one look, and I had nightmares for several days! "
Lu Chen suddenly widened his eyes. The Spirit Stone mine here was also attacked?
It was that guy!
"Big Brother, do you know who did it?"
"Hey, I don't know! Although I'm sure that the Spirit Stone mines were attacked by the same person, no one has seen what that guy looks like … or rather, those who have seen him are all dead. "
Lu Chen had long wanted to check out the situation of the Spirit Stone mine. Now that he had encountered it, he must think of a way to take a look.
"Big Brother, can you think of a way to let me in?"
"En? Didn't I tell you that the scene hasn't been dealt with yet? You can't go! Besides, what do you want to do in there? "The soldier looked at Lu Chen with a wary gaze.
Lu Chen hurriedly explained with a smile, "Hey, to be honest, I want to record a copy of the Shadow Stone's information. I want to make a small profit …"
This reason was reasonable, so the soldier let down his guard.
"That's true. It's said that these Shadow Stones are sold out every time. If you can get the initial Shadow Stone, you can make at least four to five thousand."
How could Lu Chen not understand what he meant? He smiled and gave him another thousand Spirit Stones. "Big Brother, please help me think of a way."
This money came for free, so the soldier was naturally happy to take it.
"How about this, I'll find you a set of soldier's clothing. You can wear it and no one will care about you."
This person was also quite trustworthy. He returned to the small house next to the roadblock and stayed for a while before running back to give Lu Chen a set of brand new Dong Yue soldier's clothing.
"I've placed a talisman on the clothing. It will automatically destroy itself after one day."
Lu Chen nodded. "Okay, thank you, Big Brother. By the way, won't the others report you? "
"It's fine. Even if we don't do it, there will be people inside recording their own Shadow Stones. Those outside won't even get to drink the soup. Don't worry, they are all my brothers. I've already talked to them. Who doesn't want to make money in the army?
Since the other party said so, Lu Chen openly entered the sealed area.
The mine wasn't hard to find. There were always people dressed up as soldiers walking in that direction. Lu Chen didn't say anything and followed them. Soon, they arrived at the mine.
As soon as they arrived, Lu Chen saw the scene and almost vomited.
A thick stack of human skins was piled up at the entrance of the mine. The texture of these human skins was similar to leather clothing. This was the most terrifying part. Moreover, the expressions on their faces were vivid, and almost all of them were in a state of panic.
There were people continuously transporting new human skins out of the mine.
From time to time, some of the soldiers in charge of transporting the human skins would suddenly run to the side and vomit.
At the entrance of the mine, there were a few high-ranking earth elementalists inspecting the human skins and discussing something.
"Damn, this, what kind of method is this? It's too disgusting …"
"There's not even a wound on their bodies! They're all intact human skins. This f * cking … I can't take it anymore! "
"This is already the third case. Thousands of people in this mine, including eight and seven-star earth elementalists, died just like that. What kind of thing did this?"
Lu Chen took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and followed a swearing soldier into the mine.
The mine was slanted downwards and extended all the way. There were still lights at the front, but there were serious cave-ins at the back, making it very difficult to search.
The dead at the front should have been cleared out. Lu Chen went deeper into the mine with the soldiers. The further they went, the fewer soldiers there were searching.
Not long after, that person saw a human skin and hurriedly ran over to pick it up and walked out of the mine. "Damn, I can't take it anymore. Hurry up and get out!" It was obvious that he was very reluctant to come here.
After he ran away, Lu Chen was left with gravel from a serious cave-in in front of him, blocking the way forward.
"Heaven's Eye!" Lu Chen secretly activated his Heaven's Eye and found a weak area at the edge of the cave-in. He pushed hard and actually opened up a hole.
"Sovereign Magical Beast, let me see what kind of method you're using!" Lu Chen took a deep breath and went through the hole alone.
