Mu Wanting asked the chieftain, who responded blankly.
“We captured them; they were miners.”
Mu Wanting opened the cell door and saw the people instinctively backing away, their eyes filled with fear. She spoke.
"Come out, you are free."
Those people looked at her in disbelief, but some of the bolder ones still ventured out.
Upon seeing how thin they were, resembling skeletons, Mu Wanting's pupils constricted.
After they emerged trembling, they glanced at them fearfully. Seeing that they didn't stop them, they ran away shakily.
Only then did they realize that they were truly free.
Mu Wanting walked into the mine and found that a huge hole had been dug out inside, with pieces of silver ore piled up next to it and piles of bones on the other side.
However, all the remains had been stripped clean, clearly the work of the chieftain and his men. Mu Wanting tied up the chieftain and threw him outside the mine, then couldn't help but look at Shen Xinglan.
"Why don't you go out for a bit?"
Shen Xinglan looked at the dark cave entrance with some worry.
But Mu Wanting's words might mean she's about to use her secret weapon.
He went inside the mine and, finding no danger, gave Mu Wanting some instructions before leaving.
Mu Wanting placed her hand on the silver ore and used her spatial ability to store it into her space, thus saving her the trouble of mining it.
The deeper she went, the more silver mines she found, and she amassed a great deal of wealth from them.
I never expected this silver mine to have such a high silver yield.
She could go no further, but she knew there were many more silver mines below.
She then used her spatial ability to collect the mountain at its base into her space, and the entire mountain began to shake violently.
She immediately teleported to the cave entrance and bumped into Shen Xinglan, who was rushing over. She could feel his quickened heartbeat and the hormonal aura emanating from him.
Shen Xinglan held her in his arms and used his lightness skill to fly away.
But because he used his injured foot, he was in so much pain that his face turned pale.
Mu Wanting said, "Don't worry, I can escape."
Shen Xinglan turned her head away, her ears turning red, saying one thing but meaning another.
"Who cares about you?"
Mu Wanting chuckled, her heart touched.
Such kindness and loyalty—rushing in to save her in a moment of danger—is rare.
They took the village chief away, and the people in the village trembled with fear.
"How did the mine collapse? How are we going to explain this?"
Mu Wanting walked over and held a knife to the necks of these people.
“Once you die, you won’t have to explain anything.”
With that, he swiftly struck down several bandits with his knife.
Murong Rong's expression changed, her face turning pale with fear, but she always tried to find fault with Mu Wanting.
"Sister, these people don't deserve to die."
Mu Wanting raised an eyebrow, and the other convicts also looked at Murong Rong with surprise.
Su Yu's smile was even more enigmatic.
"Perhaps eating you would be the only way to be considered a capital offense?"
Murong Rong said, "There are many of them, and perhaps they are innocent."
Mu Wanting sneered, "Didn't you see them drooling over you, looking like they wanted to eat you? If we release one of these menaces, we'll just create another cannibalistic village."
The officials swiftly killed the man and threw him into the collapsed mine shaft.
Ma Dazhuang looked at Mu Wanting: "What's in this mine?"
Mu Wanting said, "It's a silver mine, but there's not much left after it's been mined."
She knew that the miners who had just been released must have already confessed, so she didn't need to hide anything from them.
Ma Dazhuang said with a regretful expression, "If only this mine hadn't collapsed."
Mu Wanting shook her head: "There probably isn't much silver left inside, and mining silver is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Concealing the silver mine is a serious crime."
Ma Dazhuang shuddered, and now he didn't dare to have even the slightest thought of it.
He had no choice but to write a letter to the imperial court, reporting that there was a silver mine there, and then found an official to deliver the letter to the nearest government office.
Having just experienced a thrilling battle, everyone rested in the mountain stronghold for a while and cooked and ate some food.
They wanted to take a look inside the mountain stronghold's granary, but found it filled with nothing but human flesh. They were instantly disgusted and retreated, vomiting uncontrollably afterward.
Meanwhile, Mu Wanting had already secretly sneaked into the vault where the silver was stored.
There wasn't much silver inside. After Mu Wanting put the silver into her spatial storage, she immediately went inside to check it out.
Her space was filled with that mine, so she immediately used her mind to clear out the silver ore, and found that it was as high as a small mountain.
She moved the soil to the mountain village warehouse.
Just then, a distant chime rang out again in the space.
Mu Wanting had heard this voice three times, and each time she heard it, it meant an upgrade in the space.
This time, from the center of the space outwards, the crops grew wildly as if they were alive.
Then, there was the spiritual spring water again. Before, there was only white soup, but now that the thick fog has dissipated a bit, a yellow pool has been revealed, about three square meters in size.
Then we saw a bamboo house and a lush, green mountain.
The space is now four times larger than before.
Mu Wanting couldn't see the end of it at a glance.
Moreover, as the escalating ripples spread, she felt as if her body had been cleansed.
He was incredibly sharp-witted, able to see even the way poisonous insects on the mountain were rubbing their hands together.
Mu Wanting went to the bamboo house first and found it to be simple, with only a scroll of internal energy cultivation manual on it, which she had never seen before.
Moreover, it is very suitable for her, who is not very strong.
