Yuebaiting is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Wunu River, between the Wanren Rainforest Beast Tribe and the human city of Mao.
Judging from its geographical location and the luxurious ship port it owns, it should be a settlement with quite prosperous business.
But extracting reality does the exact opposite.
At this time, Zi Sui, who had separated from the caravan, was walking along the central avenue of Yuebaiting, surrounded by standard Yuebai rocks and houses built of solid wood.
There are not many vendors and shops on the roadside, and the items sold are mostly the same old daily necessities.
It’s not depressed, but it’s far from prosperous.
It is obvious that Yue Baiting's business development is not going smoothly.
The two large settlements before and after him did not bring him any commercial convenience, but instead deliberately restricted the development of Yuebaiting.
As for the reason.
It's very simple. It is located in the buffer zone between the territories of the two tribes, and both tribes have had many frictions here because of some things.
In addition, the two tribes also imposed an economic blockade on Yuebaiting, and explicitly prohibited their own trading companies and caravans from trading with Yuebaiting.
The reason why Bo Xiwan was able to allow merchant ships to dock openly was definitely not just because of his family background, but there were other reasons.
Otherwise, even if he uses money to pave the way, it may be a waste of time.
Zi Sui looked at the ordinary citizens passing by. Along the way, there were monsters, humans, beasts, and many other races that Zi Sui had never seen before.
People of all races are scattered throughout this white city.
Zi Sui did not explore the city itself any further. He put on his hood and his black pupils suddenly changed.
Anyway, no one knows where Bo Xiwan and Xue Jiuyao have gone.
He has nothing to do anyway, so he might as well go and see if there is really a mineral vein here.
He followed the direction of the spiritual energy that he saw with his own eyes, walking further and further away, heading towards a hill behind the city.
As for the dust that Xue Jiuyao put on him.
They are now lying in a single room in the hotel arranged by the caravan, along with the clothes made of RC cells.
…
The closer we get to the hill, the more active the spiritual energy in the air becomes.
Spiritual energy from all directions was rushing towards the hill, but was swallowed up completely.
Zi Sui's eyes could clearly see this spectacular scene.
When Zi Sui arrived nearby, he heard the sound of weapons clashing.
Feather powder fluttered in the air, he concealed his figure and quietly reached the foot of the mountain.
At this time, the foot of the mountain was in a mess, with humans and beastmen wearing clothes whose origins could not be identified fighting each other.
Most of them were from the seventh to ninth realm of the Yellow Realm, and they were all dancing on the battlefield with an inexplicable fearlessness of death.
Occasionally one or two victims would appear, their exploded flesh and blood remaining in the air for only a moment before being swallowed up by the hillside.
I see.
Zi Sui silently applauded the leaders of the human and beast races in his heart.
Are you planning to artificially produce spiritual treasures by using these yellow realms to feed the mineral veins?
Zi Sui passed by the humans and beastmen who were still fighting each other, and easily came to a huge cave at the foot of the mountain.
After confirming that there were no triggered alarms, he walked straight in.
The road near the cave entrance was pitch black, as if it was just a natural cave that had not been developed.
After walking for a while, Zi Sui finally felt the light ahead.
After a moment, he passed through a half-open tall iron gate, and then his vision suddenly became clear.
I saw another scene behind the door.
Above the wide cave, many lights are hung high and low.
And where the ground should have been in the cave, there is now only a huge pit and busy mining workers.
He sensed the realm levels of these miners without leaving any trace.
Well, it’s the Yellow Realm. These people are probably also considered sacrifices.
The wild red eyes depicted the surface of the pit below, and the rich spiritual energy in the geological layer gathered and roamed below.
He was already certain that this was a large mineral vein.
As for what kind of mine it is, he has to get close to it to find out.
“Tap…tap…”
Just as he was about to get closer to the pit, he heard two indistinct footsteps behind him.
Yu He appeared and retracted in an instant, carrying Zi Sui into the different space.
So, he watched Bo Xiwan leading Xue Jiuyao out of the cave in the different space.
The moment he brushed past Zi Sui in another space, Xue Jiuyao paused instinctively.
Just a moment later, he followed Bo Xiwan's footsteps and walked towards the rows of metal objects placed near the pit.
Before the two of them reached that end, a middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet, who seemed to be the person in charge, came up to them.
"Master Bo Xi, long time no see."
"Well, are those the new batch of extraction equipment that Chief Engineer Xu Xing sent?"
"Yes, it has been debugged. Do you want to test it now?"
"Take the test."
So, under the onlookers' gaze, the person in charge ordered someone to drag a sealed black bag over.
When the bag was opened, a fresh corpse was found inside.
The body was easily lifted by the workers and then slowly placed in the box that popped out of the extractor.
The machine was started.
A faint buzzing sound echoed in the mine, and after a while, the sound stopped.
The machine began to spit out gray powder and residue.
The person in charge stepped forward and opened the small compartment just above the box where the body was placed.
The person in charge took out the object inside, which was a light red translucent crystal only half the size of a fist.
He leaned over respectfully and handed the crystal to Bo Xiwan.
"Master, this is the blood crystal produced by the third generation extractor. Please take a look."
Bo Xiwan was about to take the crystal when suddenly, Xue Jiuyao behind him turned around as if he sensed something.
He shouted in the direction of Zi Sui: "Who's there! Come out!"
"call out!"
Before he had time to step forward to test the strength of the enemy in the dark, He Yu arrived first with a sharp sound of breaking wind.
"Bang!"
When He Yu flew in front of the enemy, it exploded immediately.
At the moment when the smoke and dust obscured everyone's vision, the unrestrained Yu He cut open a crack in space and quickly left the mine.
“Cough cough cough… cough cough…”
"He escaped."
"Hide all contraband and these machines immediately, just in case."
"Yes, Master."
The mine is urgently beginning to cover up prohibited items.
On the other side, Zi Sui crawled out of the space crack and stepped on the soft carpet in the single room of Yuebaiting Hotel.
In order to avoid arousing Xue Jiuyao's suspicion, he put away the clothes he was wearing and changed back into the clothes stained with "dust".
After a while, he tidied himself, opened the door and prepared to go out for a walk.
Now is not the time to tear each other apart. He needs to provide some proof of his alibi.
