Ling Tian spoke out the words he had prepared long ago. The man pinched his chin and nodded continuously, "No wonder, it turns out you came across a rich mineral belt. You're lucky."
"How many spirit crystals are there?"
"Ten...ten!"
Seeing the man's greedy eyes, Ling Tian immediately changed his tone. His answer made the man very satisfied.
"Well, you're quite good. Here's your dinner. Once you're full, go into the mine to recover your energy and try to dig more."
Ling Tian thanked him timidly and walked into the mine with two whole grain steamed buns.
At the deepest part, in the mine several meters deep that he had just dug, Ling Tian threw two steamed buns into the space to feed the dogs. Unexpectedly, they sniffed it a few times and walked away in disgust. Seeing this, the corners of his mouth twitched. What a damn apocalypse, there are people who stutter and still complain. Be careful or I will serve you with yellow tofu bamboo.
He ignored those money-losing goods and returned to the hundreds of acres of farmland. At first glance, it was full of lush green, which was pleasing to the eye.
"That's great! It's already sprouting in just a few days. It won't be long before we have an endless supply of fruits and vegetables."
Thinking of this, Ling Tian came up with a bold idea, to open a meat and vegetable supermarket. If one corpse crystal could be exchanged for a pound of vegetables, wouldn't he be rich?
"Damn, that's getting off topic. Let's just focus on mining."
He shook off the unrealistic idea, took out a box lunch, had a delicious meal, and then leaned against the mine wall to rest.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Ling Tian suddenly felt that the energy recovery speed inside was twice as fast as outside. This discovery made him excited for a long time. If so, the spirit crystal must be...
At this moment, Ling Tian's eyes emitted a greedy green light. He made up his mind that before obtaining enough spirit crystals, as long as his energy was restored, he would start mining immediately and dig non-stop.
For several days in a row, Ling Tian was able to complete the spirit crystal tasks on schedule, which made Tian Lei, the mine guard, suspicious. One day, he followed Ling Tian into the mine.
Ling Tian had long noticed that Tian Lei was following him, so he naturally used the first-level elementary level to deal with it.
It was not known whether he was lucky or Tian Lei was lucky, but he actually dug up a rich mining area. Looking at the area covered with dozens of spirit crystals, Tian Lei's breathing became rapid.
"It must not be leaked."
Looking at Ling Tian who was digging excitedly, Tian Lei already had evil intentions in his heart. After all, miners died in the mine every day, and no one would know if one or two were missing.
Tian Lei drew his weapon, steadied his breathing, and slowly moved towards Ling Tian's position. Once he reached his one-hit-kill attack range, he sneered and suddenly attacked.
At this moment, Ling Tian suddenly turned around and smiled, with a scimitar in his hand.
"You're free..."
“Swoosh~”
A cold light flashed, and Tian Lei's voice stopped abruptly. His eyes bulged with fear as he watched his body split into two. He didn't know how he died until his death.
As soon as Tian Lei died, Ling Tian dug out the strange crystal and threw him into the space to feed the dogs. However, a metal bracelet on his hand aroused his curiosity. After fumbling with it for a while, he touched some mechanism, and the bracelet suddenly ejected an energy sphere with a diameter of about one meter. It was actually filled with spirit crystals, which made Ling Tian breathe rapidly. He was afraid that there were about two hundred pieces of spirit crystals here.
I suppressed my excitement and after a long while of trying, I finally figured out how to use the jade bracelet. It was quite simple and convenient, just like space. If I wanted to take or put something in it, I just had to reach out and look through the light curtain.
“It’s just that the space is too small.”
If the creator knew this, he would be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood. There are only a few such spatial equipment in the entire Crimson Base. If it weren't for Tian Lei who was in charge of the mine and had to transport spirit crystals every day, how could a second-level psychic like him have such treatment?
In addition to the bracelet, Ling Tian also found the key to the anklet, but did not open it immediately. After throwing the jade bracelet and the key into the space, Ling Tian picked up the pickaxe and chiseled the area where Tian Lei had just died. After making sure there was no blood left, he started chiseling the wall of the cave. There were still dozens of spirit crystals waiting for him.
The uneventful days that followed made Ling Tian sense something was amiss.
"Tian Lei holds a high position, so there's no reason why no one would know about his disappearance. Why hasn't anyone come to investigate?"
After pondering for a long time, Ling Tian decided to break through.
In order to ensure that the upgrade would not be interrupted, Ling Ren took great pains to dig a hiding place of several square meters in the middle section, and then laid Tian Lei's bones a few meters in front of the hiding place. He also generously scattered dozens of spirit crystals along the way. After thinking about it, he also threw the space bracelet into the end of the mine.
Last night, they dug out a hiding place at the end of the rear section and blocked it with ore.
After returning to his original hiding place and blocking it tightly with ore, Ling Tian searched the memories of the two men he had killed first. After confirming the method of use again, Ling Tian began to take it.
“Ah~”
As soon as it entered his mouth, the tremendous energy poured into the strange crystal in his head, constantly washing away that layer of barrier. The extreme swelling and pain made Ling Tian extremely miserable. Even the bleeding from pinching his palms with his nails was not even one tenth of the pain in his head.
After a few minutes, the energy of the first spirit crystal was exhausted and could only cause a slight ripple in the barrier of the alien crystal, which was still far from enough.
"continue!"
The second, the third...
While Ling Tian was suffering inhuman torture, a man walked into the No. 1 mine. It was He Chenhan.
The reason why Tian Lei's disappearance has not been known to the higher-ups is that he took advantage of his position to replace Tian Lei's sign in the Yijing Hall. The reason he did this was of course for the jade bracelet on his hand and the hundreds of spirit crystals he delivered every day.
As long as he succeeds, he can come back and change Tian Lei's brand back to the original and switch things around. The scapegoat for all this is of course Ling Tian. From the moment he discovered that Ling Tian had hidden his strength, He Chenhan had been plotting this. In Han Daolin's eyes, he was just greedy for Ling Tian's exotic crystals, and everything was part of his plan.
After closing the mine gate, He Chenhan showed a sinister smile, took out his weapon and walked in step by step.
At this time, Ling Tian was at a critical juncture in breaking through the barrier and had already felt a crack in the alien crystal barrier. In order to prepare for the worst, Ling Tian made up his mind and swallowed two spirit crystals in a row.
The mental torture brought by the intense pain made Ling Tian want to give up at one point. Fortunately, his willpower was strong enough to prevent him from failing. Even so, he just persisted. In order not to make any sound, Ling Tian bit his lips until they bled.
“Just a little bit more!”
