Everyone else is resting, why aren't you resting?!
On a high-rise building, Jiang Yuan sat on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the night view below.
"We just captured the West Gate, and I'm worried the beast tide might come back, so I'm helping to keep watch for the night!" Jiang Yuan turned around and explained. Although the West Gate had been captured, no one knew if the beast tide would return, so they had to be on guard.
"Alright, I'll go with you!"
Ning Yanlan covered her eyes, not daring to look down. She held onto the concrete slab for almost the entire time before finally sitting shakily on the edge of the building.
"After all this time, you still haven't gotten rid of your fear of heights!" Jiang Yuan put his arm around Ning Yanlan's waist to make sure she couldn't sit still. Her fear of heights had already shown up at the Nan Guishan Tower, but he hadn't expected that even with such a big change in strength, she would still be afraid of heights.
"Yes, it can even fly into the sky, but seeing such a height still makes my heart race. It's so embarrassing," Ning Yanlan said shyly, covering her face.
“After the South City event, I want to go to your house to propose marriage!” Jiang Yuan suddenly said.
Ning Yanlan froze, and for a moment she did not react.
"What's wrong? We're in this relationship now, you're not going to refuse to marry me, are you?" Jiang Yuan joked.
"Okay, after Nancheng is over, let's go back to Ancheng and get married!" Ning Yanlan said, her mind unsettled.
"You must be tired today. You don't seem very enthusiastic."
"No, it was just too sudden for me, I'm still a little caught up!"
"Come on, I'll take you to a fun place!"
Where are we going?
You'll find out when you get there!
Jiang Yuan spread his divine wings and flew away with Ning Yanlan in one direction.
A few minutes later, the two landed, and Ning Yanlan immediately complained, "What's so fun about this? It's just a black stone mine."
"Don't rush, the fun is yet to come!"
Jiang Yuan activated his divine power to illuminate the dark mine, then took Ning Yanlan's hand and walked deeper into the mine.
"It's pitch black. Besides what you can play, what else is fun?" Ning Yanlan said casually.
Hearing these outrageous words, Jiang Yuan could only pretend not to hear them. He reviewed the mineral vein map that the Heavenly Eye had previously recorded in his mind. This mineral vein was an extremely rare super mineral vein, and because it was a growing mineral vein, it contained things deep within that even the Heavenly Eye could not detect.
Jiang Yuan was not surprised by this result, because at that time he only relied on energy to sense the mineral vein, and it would be very difficult to completely understand it.
"Come with me!"
Jiang Yuan walked deeper into the mine. Because the Ji and Chen families, as well as spirit beasts such as the Dark Flame Demon Tiger, had mined this place, there were many partially mined tunnels. However, the tunnels were far from deep enough, and the two of them were soon trapped in the mine.
"There's no way out!"
Looking at the wall in front of her, Ning Yanlan asked Jiang Yuan helplessly, "What should we do? Should we just go back to sleep?"
"That treasure isn't far from us, keep digging!" Jiang Yuan summoned countless sword blades and began to dig into the vein, saying at the same time, "Yanlan, don't slack off! Don't you have the Yin-Yang Judgment? Let's dig together!"
Ning Yanlan: "..."
"Hurry up and stop dawdling, or we won't be able to finish tonight!" Jiang Yuan urged again.
Ning Yanlan reluctantly started working, chiseling at the vein with her Judgment Sword as she said, "You big jerk, you said you'd take me to find fun things, but now you've tricked me into mining!"
Jiang Yuan smiled obsequiously the whole time, but he wouldn't stop, because in his perception, that power was becoming clearer and clearer.
In the first hour, the two relied on their powerful energy bursts to dig vertically down nearly 800 meters, but they still did not encounter that force.
In the second hour, the depth reached 1,500 meters, and they still didn't stop.
In the third hour, the depth reached 2,000 meters!
"I'm not digging anymore! This is ridiculous! Mining at night instead of sleeping!"
Clang, clang, clang—a series of Judgment Swords fell down, while the exhausted Ning Yanlan hid in a small cave she had dug nearby.
"No, it's only the last two hundred meters!" Jiang Yuan's eyes were filled with excitement; he could sense that their target was nearby.
"I don't believe you! You've said 'last' at least ten times already!" Ning Yanlan refused to crawl out of the small hole because Jiang Yuan had said many times that it was "last" or "last" meters, but it was all a lie.
Jiang Yuan smiled awkwardly; it was indeed dishonest to trick girls into coming to mine.
Not hearing Jiang Yuan's voice, Ning Yanlan peeked down and said angrily to Jiang Yuan, "Aren't you going to come up and coax me!"
"Alright!" Jiang Yuan's expression changed immediately.
This time, it took the two of them a full hour and a half to dig the 200 meters. Just as Ning Yanlan was about to lose her temper, Jiang Yuan pierced the last rock with his gun, and then the two of them lost their footing and fell down with the rubble.
"Holy Wings!"
Jiang Yuan was prepared, so he caught Ning Yanlan the moment she missed a step to prevent her from being hurt again.
"Look, something's moving over there!"
Ning Yanlan pointed to a spot, and Jiang Yuantian's Heavenly Eye immediately recognized the creature before them as the one they were searching for.
"Earth Spirit (Unique), Rank: Void Spirit Realm Stage 1, Quality: Mythical, Talent: Nature, Ruler of Earth".
"Racial Talent - Nature: Possesses the most perfect natural physique and has a full utilization rate of natural attributes."
"Unique Talent - Ruler of the Earth: As long as one touches the earth, one's power is inexhaustible, and one's life is eternal."
"Description: A magical creature that can only be born at the source of the battlefield, and only recognizes those with pure hearts."
The information detected shocked Jiang Yuan; he never expected that such a creature would attract the attention of even the Sky Eye.
