"Fellow villagers meeting?"
Li Fan asked again.
"A shot in the back?"
He Wu held his breath and uttered the second half of the sentence.
Li Fan didn't press further, but calmly asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"
"To be honest, my initial idea was to cooperate with the people here. I would lead my clan to help them absorb these thin chaotic energies, and they wouldn't cause us any trouble."
He Wu shared his thoughts.
"Is there no chaotic energy on the other side?"
A sense of doubt arose in Li Fan's heart.
According to the information he currently has, Black Gully does not produce chaotic energy.
The chaotic energy contained during the full filling of the mine mostly emerges from the high tide.
The water from the mine gushed out from the opposite side of the pool.
Logically speaking, the opposite side of the puddle should be the source of the primordial chaos.
However, his fellow villager said that there was no chaotic energy on the other side, which was rather strange.
Of course, Li Fan did not doubt that his fellow villager had lied to him.
Because both this fellow villager and the tribe he ruled were too weak, ridiculously weak.
If one could eat three dishes, one wouldn't be so malnourished.
So where exactly does the problem lie?
He Wu knew Li Fan's doubts, so he quickly explained, "Boss, as the owner of the mine, you should know very well that this place will experience high tide."
But the overflowing tides did not come from Zhuoshuikeng, which is the name I gave to that place.
In fact, every time the tide rises in the mine, the turbid water pit is also filled with those chaotic energies.
This is why some organisms remain in the mine after the tide recedes.
They stayed behind to eat the leftovers because there was nothing left to eat in the murky ditch.
Those massive entities that rarely ventured out had long since devoured all the chaotic energy within.
It seems that not rushing in was a wise choice.
Li Fan couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate. If he had really entered the Turbid Water Pit, those creatures that devoured the chaotic energy inside would definitely have sensed his presence.
That will inevitably lead to another major battle!
The outcome of the great battle will likely not be ideal.
"I can help you make this happen, but I need you to absorb 90% of the chaotic energy!"
Li Fan made such an outrageous demand because he didn't want to be threatened.
It's common for people from the same hometown to stab each other in the back.
He Wu is a good boy now, but who can guarantee that he will stay good after he gains power?
People change.
"No problem, boss, I'll do as you say!"
Even if it were 99%, He Wu wouldn't hesitate for even a second.
Mining areas are not areas they can touch in the first place.
They usually only eat scraps and leftovers.
Once the tide comes in, the lingering chaotic energy here will still become food for those big guys.
Now that he has a powerful figure protecting him, he can bring his clan out to eat and drink for free. Who would refuse such a good deal?
Given a safe area to rest and recuperate, the black octopus population can quickly grow.
Moreover, for He Wu, the real benefit lies in reaping the rewards of the seven emotions and six desires.
With a population of over a million, the mines can be exploited however they please.
......
Soon, Li Fan brought He Wu to find Wang Fuqiang.
When Wang Fuqiang saw the octopus, his face turned green.
Creatures tainted by the aura of chaos inherently represent both power and disorder.
For a moment, Wang Fuqiang even felt that Li Fan was being controlled.
However, the rate at which the Chaos-Avoiding Pendant hanging from his waist and held in his hand was not accelerating, which relieved Wang Fuqiang.
Just as Wang Fuqiang remained silent, He Wu said in a deep voice, "Human, my king said that there is only one chance to cooperate."
If you disagree, the next time you come, it won't be a small fry like me who still has some sense.
He kept a low profile when facing Li Fan.
It's not just because Li Fan is powerful, but also because Li Fan himself is a pure chaotic being.
Unlike the giants in the Turbid Water Pit, they were merely playthings controlled by Chaos.
Li Fan is an existence who has mastered the power of chaos.
The difference is huge.
Although chaos inevitably leads to destruction, it's clear that his fellow villager can go much further.
He Wu's threat clearly had an effect.
Wang Fuqiang fell silent!
Being a foreman is a very dangerous job.
His predecessor died at the hands of these creatures tainted by the power of chaos.
That batch of mine ash was undoubtedly wiped out.
Zhuoshuikeng should be the birthplace of the Kuroshio Current.
Even the powerful figures from the Heavenly Palace in Heigouzi City were unwilling to get involved in that place.
The sweeps conducted before each mining operation are limited to the mine itself.
Whether to cooperate or not, there is really no choice. "We can cooperate, but only you and your tribe can come, and the strongest one cannot surpass you."
Otherwise, I will report the situation here immediately, and we can simply part ways!
Wang Fuqiang agreed, but also put forward his own conditions.
This is his first time cooperating with chaotic beings. If he can handle it properly, then he will have a lot of room for maneuver in the future.
However, there is one prerequisite: it cannot be too dangerous.
Releasing chaotic beings is fine, but it must be under control.
Black octopuses are much more controllable.
If Li Fan could easily subdue this guy, then his own Purple Mansion cultivation would naturally allow him to suppress him even more easily.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Wang Fuqiang's idea.
"Can!"
Wang Fuqiang breathed a sigh of relief after He Wu agreed.
......
Under Wang Fuqiang's leadership, the cooperation proceeded in an orderly manner.
He Wu, along with the Black Octopus Clan, mobilized a total of two hundred clansmen.
They were placed in none other than the ore dumping ground.
This allows the absorption of chaotic energy permeating the air, while also carrying away the chaotic energy from the ore.
The role of the black octopus colony quickly became apparent.
The most obvious change is the extended usage time of the Chaos-Avoiding Pendant.
Although Wang Fuqiang was still on edge, his mood had improved considerably.
Who would complain about making more money?
......
Time flies, and two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The puddles used for mine monitoring are already showing signs of overflowing.
After Wang Fuqiang reported the news, he soon received the evacuation notice.
Before leaving, he looked longingly in the direction of the mine.
This time, he earned more money than ever before.
There are three reasons. First, Zhang Qingyao, as the mine owner, increased the foremen's share of the profits.
The second reason is that the presence of the black octopus clan rapidly reduced the chaotic energy in the mine, lessening its impact on the miners. This gave the miners more time to work, resulting in a greater yield of ore.
Thirdly, due to the existence of the Black Octopus clan, the number of Chaos-Avoiding Pendants used this time was less than the previous mining operation.
That's why Wang Fuqiang felt reluctant to part with it.
But whether he was willing or not, he had no choice but to leave.
After the tide comes in, the monsters that are hidden deep inside will come out.
