He had been in Baokang for two days, and during that time, he had a pretty good rapport with his friends from Beautiful Robes Faction. They went to Shennongjia's herb area, metal mine, crystal mine, and the situation of the sects in Baokang County Town one after another. Once they investigated the situation, they learned that the situation in the place was not as deep as it seemed!
Their original plan of intimidating the people within a short period of time so that they could gain a foothold in Baokang had vanished without a trace.
Because …
In a place like Shennongjia, as long as there were medicinal herbs in the borderlands, the Blood Sucking Grass would roam all over the place. It was extremely annoying, and the Blood Sucking Wood would reach into the sky, silently bringing people to the brink of death. In such a dangerous place, there would be bloody battles every day. As long as a valuable medicinal herb was found, there would be at least a hundred or more people fighting it out!
Thunderous Battle did not want to join this sort of group war of attrition. As of then, he did not even have a proper name for his sect. He had few members, and if he joined a large-scale chaotic battle, he would not even know how he died.
As for the mine …
The situation was not too good either.
All the factions of power had their own regions!
Each sect occupied a certain number of the halls in the mine. Their journey might have been peaceful, but as long as they stood in an empty spot, they would immediately understand what it meant to be the target of everyone. Soon, someone would come to cause trouble for them.
The smaller sects could not even squeeze into the metal mine. It was a happy spot for a few large sects, and no one could enter.
Since there were a few crystal mines, the situation was slightly better!
But …
Thunderous Battle and the higher ups of Beautiful Robes Faction had investigated multiple times before they decided to use the crystal mine as the first battle for them to make a name for themselves and establish their might!
…
"You're asking for death!"
When they saw that their companion had been sent flying into the distance by Thunderous Battle, the people beside them flew into a rage. Without another word, they drew their weapons!
Even though Thunderous Battle had a lot of people with him, most of them were new to him. Their sect emblems were also unfamiliar to him, and they were not from the sects that he needed to be wary of. Their usual swagger instantly erupted, and they activated their qi realms to attack Thunderous Battle.
It was as if someone had sent him a hot pillow when he was feeling sleepy.
Thunderous Battle had been troubled by how he should kill to establish his might, but the other party had come at him recklessly. What else could he do? He couldn't even be bothered to activate his cultivation. Activating his protective barrier, he charged forward to meet the attack head-on.
Little North cackled and shot out from behind Thunderous Battle. At the same time, there were two zombies dressed in black one-piece cloaks. After being nourished for a period of time, their bodies were black and shiny, as if they were made of metal.
The three of them screamed as they were hit and rolled away. The claw marks on their chests were dark purple!
Thunderous Battle and his party easily trampled over the six people and walked into the chamber with the mechanism. They placed the berthierite they bought from the market into the groove on the wall.
Boom!
The secret chamber was closed.
Then, the front door opened, and the sparkling light illuminated everyone's faces …
"Wow!"
"Tsk tsk, so this is the real crystal mine?!" The group of people looked at the completely crystallized mine in shock and sighed deeply.
The first level of the crystal mine was used to dig out crystals from normal stones and soil, but the second level was filled with normal crystals, and anyone could just casually mine one of them. It was no wonder then why the drop rate of supreme-grade crystals was so high. Some sects would even spend berthierite, which was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver crumbs, to enter the second level and control the crystals there.
"Who are you people!"
"Who allowed you to come in?!"
The activation of the chamber with the mechanism alerted the group of people who were already inside. More than ten miners stopped what they were doing, turned around, and shouted at them angrily.
Thunderous Battle did not even bother to say a single word to the group of miners whose full-time job was to mine ores!
He cast a glance at the only thing that did not seem to fit in with the others in the mine — Stone King, who had a savage and awe-inspiring face. It chased after a Mystical Realm martial artist who ran nonstop in circles in the second level of the mine.
"Kill them!"
The expressions of the people from Beautiful Robes Faction turned cold, and they charged forward without hesitation.
When they saw the group of people walking over with murderous intent, the miners instantly became anxious.
"Stay where you are!"
"Do you know who we are?!"
"We're from Blood River Sect! You're one of the top sects in Baokang County Town, and you attacked us? Do you still want to stay in the game?! "The person who attracted Stone King's attention was also livid.
"AH!"
A pained scream drew the curtains for the slaughter.
There was no explanation!
Thunderous Battle stood quietly on the spot and watched the last miner from Blood River Sect be cut down. From the start until the end, he remained expressionless!
Since he had decided to walk down the path of a sect, there were certain things that he had to do. A small sect like theirs had delusions of controlling the entire second level of the crystal mine without sufficient strength. Even if he did not take action, they would be replaced by other forces of power sooner or later. Thunderous Battle was just bringing forward Blood River Sect's misfortune.
"Paupers."
When One Circle picked up the spoils of war, he did not find anything, and he cursed his bad luck gloomily. Since their qi realms were very low, it was easy for them to be robbed. Miners usually did not bring a lot of money with them. Aside from two unlucky bastards who dropped a few crystal ores of average quality, they did not find any other spoils of war.
Everyone redirected their gazes, and they stared at the player who was still running away from Stone King.
He had long since been enraged by Thunderous Battle and his group's actions, but he did not dare to relax, because his mission was to lure Stone King into running nonstop so that his sect members could safely dig out high-grade crystal ores.
Even though the miners had died, he still did not dare to stop, because if he stopped, he would definitely be killed by Stone King, who was stronger than Life and Death Realm!
When he thought about how his qi realm would drop after he died, he held back and did not die with these people.
"What should we do? Should we get rid of this guy as well? "
"Kill him! It's not right for us to have someone from an enemy sect work for us … "Thunderous Battle gave the order to kill him without hesitation. Then, he said," Little North, be prepared to have your zombie lure Stone King. The people from Blood River Sect should be on their way. We'll guard the door and be ready to fight at any moment. "
"Alright!"
Whoosh!
An arrow shot from the distance and nailed the Blood River Sect disciple to the ground. Stone King immediately closed the distance between them and punched the person's back with a fist that was as hard as a diamond.
Boom!
That person instantly coughed up blood and crashed against the wall. Then, Stone King caught up to him and stomped him to death.
Once it killed its target, Stone King redirected its gaze and strode toward Thunderous Battle with savage and fierce strides.
Whoosh!
A zombie went up to it. Once it did what the Blood River Sect disciple did and attracted Stone King's attention, it began to lead it around the mine.
"Get to work!"
Thunderous Battle said to the group.
Even though the people who came to the mine were all higher ups of Beautiful Robes Faction, they had asked around and learned that Thunderous Battle and Little North were with Happy, and they were both very strong. Hence, they obeyed Thunderous Battle's commands. Once they heard him, they brought out pickaxes from their Universe Bags and walked to different directions.
Ding!
Clang!
Clang … Clang …
The group began hitting the ground. Since it was a high-grade mine, they might be able to get something out of it.
