Li Mu led Lin Hongluan as they flew towards the Nan'ao mine.

Leaving the city, all that comes into view is desolation, pristine mountains, rivers, grasslands, and forests.

Australia is a colonized country with a population of less than 30 million, but it has nearly 8 million square kilometers of land.

It is extremely rich in natural resources, and its agriculture, animal husbandry, and mineral resources rank among the world's top.

This is a developed federal country, but also a country with a strong sense of servility.

Following behind its two masters, America and Great Britain, it has caused China a lot of trouble.

The key point is that after tripping them up, they shamelessly accused China of lacking martial ethics and refusing to give them money, which is truly outrageous.

Li Mu is not a radical youth; if Li Hongjun hadn't disappeared, he wouldn't have come to Australia.

However, after arriving in Australia, I found that the people here were not very friendly.

Police collusion with wealthy businessmen, racial discrimination, and his second uncle's disappearance after being shot—these events left him with an extremely negative impression.

If he encounters those ignorant white pigs and black devils, he will never show mercy.

The two flew on their flying swords and arrived at the mining area in less than an hour.

This is the Queensland copper mining area, and the nearby town of Darwa is home to several hundred people.

Just outside the town's residential area lies Australia's famous rich mining region, which boasts the world's largest copper reserves.

From the air, the land is covered with mined sites, a scene of utter devastation.

.

Finding the Li family mine among hundreds of mines within an area of ​​tens of square kilometers is not easy.

However, Li Mu has a flying sword and divine sense, so he can quickly distinguish them.

Just ten minutes later, Li Mu saw a sign in both Chinese and English indicating that Li's Mining was located there.

The Li family's mine has ceased production, and apart from the houses built from shipping containers, there is no one left in the entire mine.

This is a copper mining area. The adjacent mines only extract copper ore, but the Li family mine has extracted opal.

Li Mu used his divine sense to check and found that although the Li family mine was small, it was located on an opal vein.

This opal vein isn't very large; Li Mu's divine sense could only detect a depth of about a hundred meters.

The vein meanders for more than 30 meters before extending into the adjacent copper mine, which is the old Brown Mine.

It could be argued that if Mark Brown hadn't been so impatient and greedy, his mine would have produced even more opals.

After landing their flying swords, Li Mu and Lin Hongluan looked at the cold excavating machinery in the mine and sighed inwardly.

I thought I might find some clues here, but now all I see are ores and machines, and I can't even see a single person.

The two went inside the house, which had been converted from a shipping container. It was dusty and looked messy.

There were traces of blood on the floor of one of the offices, and the desks and chairs had been violently overturned, indicating that someone was injured after the conflict.

The two left the tin-roofed house, and Li Mu placed his hand on Lin Hongluan's waist, leading her toward the mine entrance.

The distance of several hundred meters was covered in an instant when Li Mu activated the Cloud Chasing Step.

.

The situation at the mine entrance was already clearly visible to my divine sense, regardless of its distance.

Upon arriving at the mine entrance, the opals were no different from those previously seen, buried in the loess.

Li Mu wanted to go into the mine entrance to see if he could absorb more of that primordial gas in the opal mine.

Lin Hongluan had never seen mining before, so she was quite curious and wandered around the mine entrance, kicking small stones on the ground with her feet.

Standing before the opal vein, Li Mu activated the Vajra Technique to its fullest extent, beginning to absorb the gas within the opal.

Half an hour later, Li Mu stopped absorbing the opal, which had been completely absorbed more than ten meters inside the vein.

If they want to absorb more, they have to dig out the vein.

After the colorless and formless gas in the opal entered the body, it turned grayish inside. Li Mu now called this gas the Chaos Qi.

The chaotic energy slowly flowed into the meridians, clearly separating from the spiritual energy within them, and showing a tendency to squeeze each other.

Li Mu didn't know whether the chaotic energy entering his body would conflict with the spiritual energy and cause his meridians to burst.

He's absorbing very little right now, so there's no need to worry for now. We'll try to fuse the two gases when he absorbs more later.

Aside from the worry of his body exploding, he now feels that his strength has increased significantly, and there are signs that the bottleneck of the Iron Bone Realm is loosening.

For him at present, absorbing the chaotic energy is more beneficial than harmful.

Perhaps after absorbing some more chaotic energy, I can break through to the Qi Condensation Realm. There may be other changes after the realm is improved.

.

Li Mu put aside his thoughts and prepared to go to the old Brown mine to see if he could find Mark Brown's trail.

The two had only taken a few steps when a pickup truck drove towards them like a mad bull.

The yellow dust and dirt kicked up by the wheels followed the vehicle like a mud dragon.

"Creak!"

The pickup truck braked suddenly to a stop a few meters away from the two people.

Li Mu casually waved his hand, sweeping away the dust that was hitting him.

Then, an old man with red eyes opened the car door with a shotgun.

The old man, reeking of alcohol, had vacant eyes and an angry expression as he pointed his gun at Li Mu.

The finger on the trigger was trembling, and it could have fired at any moment.

Li Mu flicked his finger, and a gust of wind severed the old man's finger from the trigger.

Even without understanding the situation, he didn't want to risk an accidental conflict.

The old man's finger was cut off, and perhaps because it was numbed by alcohol, he showed no reaction whatsoever.

Li Mu looked at the burly old man, whose white beard was still covered in cheese, with a puzzled expression.

"Shit! You Eastern kid, you yellow-skinned monkey, get out of here."

I thought the old man was a doorman and was hoping to hear him say something.

I never expected that this old geezer would start with such racism and profanity, showing such deep hatred towards people of East Asian descent.

.

"puff!"

Li Muyi cleaved the old man's arm and half his body off with a single wind blade.

Only then did the old man's eyes widen as he looked at the arm and gun that had fallen to the ground. Before the old man could utter a sound, Li Mu directly summoned his soul.

"ah!"

The old man didn't call out, but Lin Hongluan exclaimed in surprise, then covered her mouth herself.

A few breaths later, Li Mu burned the old man and his arm on the ground to ashes with a ball of fire.

He didn't want to kill anyone indiscriminately; it was this drunkard who deserved to die.

"Ugh! Cough cough!"

After witnessing all of this, Lin Hongluan squatted down and began to vomit; the scene was far too gruesome for her.

Li Mu stepped forward and patted Lin Hongluan on the back. At this moment, he couldn't explain too much.

World peace will always remain an ideal and will never become a reality.

Behind the seemingly peaceful and idyllic life, who knows how much sordidness and depravity is hidden.

Before coming to Australia, he intentionally exposed Lin Hongluan to some of the cruelty of this world.

The old man dared to come with a gun to drive them away, and his words were full of insults, making it possible for him to shoot at any moment.

If you don't kill him, he'll shoot you.

Moreover, this old man is no good.

According to the information Li Mu retrieved from his memory, he was from the Old Brown Mine, Old Terry.

Old Terry and his son, Little Terry, were among the main culprits who instigated the strike at the Lee's mines.

His son had been severely injured by Li Hongjun, but he escaped because he was drunk at the time.

He came over at this moment intending to drive the two out of the mine and force them into the wilderness.

Between the mine and the town, there was a thicket where four or five old buddies were waiting to ambush the two of them.
