Blood River Sect!
They could be considered to be one of the top three local player sects in Baokang. They had originally obtained one of the crystal mines from the hands of many powerful dragons, but they had given up on the medicinal resources in Shennongjia and the rare and precious metal mines to fight for power. That was how they managed to obtain the rights to the second level of one of the crystal mines.
This was supposed to be a period of time that was beneficial to Blood River Sect's development, and it was also a great chance for Blood River Sect to rise to the ranks of a large sect in the game.
However, berthierite was very rare and valuable during the early stages of the game, and Blood River Sect did not dare to invest all their money in it. They only wanted to occupy this valuable resource point firmly and slowly become stronger.
Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan …
Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens, the sect master of Blood River Sect, said nothing about it and gathered a large group of people from a nearby training spot to rush into the crystal mine. Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens did not say anything else and gathered a large group of people to rush into the crystal mine.
But a tragic situation occurred!
Even though the hundreds of people who arrived one after another showed just how powerful Blood River Sect was and even blocked the entire crystal mine so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through, when they arrived at the entrance of the chamber with the mechanism, they could only stare at it and sigh.
If he wanted to enter the second floor, he needed eight berthierites!
Also, there was a strict limit to the number of people who could enter at once, because the space in the chamber was very small. At most, it could only accommodate thirteen or fourteen people. This was also the reason why Blood River Sect could not focus on protecting the second level of the crystal mine.
"Damn it!"
Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens stood outside the secret chamber and glared at the other five empty grooves.
"We only managed to gather three berthierites after digging for two days. Hurry up and buy them!"
"Boss, we don't have money."
"I wonder who increased the price of berthierite by several times today. Right now, one is selling for five hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs. If I buy five of them, I can buy a few decent high-grade masterpieces …"
"You idiot! Masterpieces! Masterpieces are more important than the second level of the crystal mine?! "The more Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens listened, the angrier he became. Why was the price of berthierite raised? It was because more people had discovered the importance of the second level. If they did not seize it as soon as possible, Blood River Sect would be forced into an even more passive position …
"Quick! Gather the money and buy them from the first floor. Five hundred thousand taels of silver for one piece. Cash transaction immediately! "
At least Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens wasn't so old-fashioned as to have people slowly gather the resources.
But the news seemed to have leaked …
Blood River Sect's urgent need for berthierite stimulated the miners in the caves in the first level of the crystal mine to raise their prices. The few who had berthierite set their prices firmly and refused to sell it for less than six hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs!
Blood River Sect used both the carrot and stick methods, but they could not take them down, so they could only compromise.
Even after compromising, he still didn't get what he wanted.
The miners were all veterans in the mines, and they unanimously stated that it was not safe to trade in the mines. They had to go back to the city to trade, which made the people from Blood River Sect so angry that they started foaming at the mouth, but they could not refute them, because no matter who it was, if they killed them on the spot, they would be able to drop half of their money. There were plenty of people who were willing to take the risk out of desperation.
Once Blood River Sect spent three million taels of silver to deliver berthierite, the fourteen strongest elites of Blood River Sect led by Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens charged into the second level of the crystal mine.
In less than five minutes.
The people from Blood River Sect became excited, as if their ancestors' graves had been dug up. Their faces turned red, and they roared at the chamber with the mechanism activated once more.
The miners in the hall next door knew very well that Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens had not managed to kill the people inside and had instead died, which was why the people from Blood River Sect were so angry and excited.
They did not dare to discuss or mock them. They just lowered their heads and continued mining!
'I knew it!'
The large group of people who blocked the first level left after shouting for more than an hour to no avail. Only a small group of people were left to guard the tunnel closest to them.
…
Blood River Sect, the third greatest sect in Baokang County Town, was provoked by a famous person. More than ten Mystical Realm players and more than ten miners died in Thunderous Battle and Little North's hands soon spread through Baokang County Town and Shennongjia!
The players, who loved to see the world in chaos, naturally rushed to spread the news. In fact, some people said as if they had seen it with their own eyes that only two people had attacked from the start to the end. While they fought, the people who had followed Thunderous Battle into the second level of the crystal mine focused on mining. Even if some people split up to target them, they handled it with ease and showed extraordinary skills.
Soon …
All sorts of rumors and players' guesses filled the streets.
"Thunderous Battle sure came prepared."
"More than ten Mystical Realm players won't be able to snatch resources in one or two days. By the looks of it, Blood River Sect has fallen this time. Thunderous Battle and his group will definitely not leave anytime soon."
"I wonder if Happy is among them."
"Yeah, the three of them have never been separated."
"Blood River Sect won't dare to attack Happy …"
Most of the sects in Baokang County Town were in danger.
Ever since the sect master of Blood River Sect confirmed that the people who occupied the second level of the crystal mine were Thunderous Battle, Little North, and the others who had extraordinary qi realms, they could sense a powerful undercurrent surging in the dark from this unusual detail!
"They're acting in such a flashy manner. They might be preparing to settle down in Baokang …"
"If it's those two, they won't be easy to deal with. After all, they're Happy's brothers. Last time, he destroyed Five Venoms for All-powerful Medicinal Stone, who isn't really close to him. Who would want to attack Thunderous Battle and Little North?"
"Sigh!"
The leaders of the local sects and clans felt troubled.
"Let's just say that Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens is unlucky. He's being used as a tool to establish his might."
Even though the local sects had also formed an alliance to fight against the fierce dragons that had entered Baokang County Town together, such as Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Chivalry Sect, they could not help but feel a deep sense of resignation towards Happy, who had the ability and courage to destroy sects alone without having to worry about anything behind him.
"Bastards!"
Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens flew into a rage at his headquarters after asking for reinforcements for a long time.
"You bastards! You spoke so nicely at the start, saying that we'll advance and retreat together, but now that I'm in trouble, all of you just watch me with your tails between your legs. Hmph! I'd like to see how long you can remain free and unfettered. Do you think one crystal mine can satisfy their appetite? "
Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens had actually gathered quite a lot of information a long time ago.
There were quite a number of Beautiful Robes Faction members who had followed Thunderous Battle into Baokang. Over this period of time, these unfamiliar faces had frequently appeared in the herb spots and the mines. What shocked him even more was that all of them were elites with high-tier martial arts. They were either in Mystical Realm or Blessed Realm, and all of them had masterpieces. They were basically the elites of a large sect.
The people in Baokang County Town had yet to become nervous because the people over there had yet to touch their interests. But once they attacked, even Jade Fox Palace, the strongest sect in the land, might not be able to withstand them!
