"This is so slow! I've been waiting here for half an hour!"
Yu Tu stopped, panting, but instead of receiving tea or water, she was met with a barrage of complaints from Jiang Yuan.
"Dogs can run faster than people, that's an indisputable fact!" Yu Tu leaned against a rock, panting heavily. She had been traveling at top speed the whole way, and her soul energy had been almost completely depleted just from the journey. It was easy to imagine how desperately she had tried to keep up with the group.
However, Yu Tu didn't know that before she arrived, Jiang Yuan and Xiao Tuanzi had already dealt with a three-thousand-strong alien beast army.
“They are not in danger yet, but for some reason we can’t find any trace of them, so I suggest we go deeper and take a look!” Jiang Yuan pointed to the obviously more desolate area ahead.
"I think I know why the information above was blocked!" Youhuang suddenly poked her head out from Yutu's arms.
"Oh?" Jiang Yuan was quite surprised, because even his soul perception and stone sense could not penetrate this layer of ground.
"Many powerful figures would choose a suitable burial site for themselves during their lifetime. They not only had to pay attention to feng shui when choosing a burial site, but also had to prevent others from spying on them. After all, the tombs of the strong are the most coveted places for tomb raiders."
Youhuang paused for a moment, then continued, "It's very likely that a powerful being is buried ahead, which is why this area cannot be explored by outside forces!"
“A ninth-order ore vein!” Yu Tu suddenly said.
Jiang Yuan had exceptional hearing and immediately caught Yu Tu's words. Then, recalling that Shangguan Ya's bait for letting them enter the ancient ruins was the Holy Spirit Stone mine, he immediately had a guess in his mind.
"Yu Tu, your research team should have been here before, right?" Jiang Yuan didn't believe that Yu Tu would know about this place on his first visit. Clearly, this was the effect of the North City Alliance's big machine in operation.
"Let's go in!"
Yu Tu left Jiang Yuan aside and carried You Huang inside.
Jiang Yuan was furious. This woman was actually giving him attitude! He had a sudden idea and coaxed the little dumpling, "Tuantuan, go ask Sister Rabbit about things here, okay?"
"Oh! This isn't good, is it? We just made her run dozens of miles!" the little dumpling said guiltily.
"She has no idea how hard I'm trying to help her lose weight. I'm only doing this to urge her to lose weight so she can maintain her figure!" Jiang Yuan said without thinking.
The little dumpling immediately thought it was unreliable, but seeing its boss's serious expression, it became somewhat skeptical.
"By the way, I've recently been using that Spiritual Pregnancy Technique to research a new variety of spiritual bamboo shoots. I heard that they can grow strawberry-flavored and pineapple-flavored spiritual bamboo shoots. I wonder when I'll have time to plant them!" Jiang Yuan looked up at the sky, extremely hesitant.
"Strawberry, pineapple!"
The little dumpling's eyes lit up when she heard that.
"Forget it, I'd better take care of my own things first. I'm too busy with my own affairs to have time to plant spirit bamboo shoots!" Jiang Yuan sighed, then prepared to follow.
"Boss, boss, actually I'm quite close to Sister Rabbit. How about I ask around for you?" the little dumpling said with a fawning expression.
"Are you sure you can do it? We just made them run for dozens of miles!" Jiang Yuan said deliberately.
The little dumpling said confidently, "Sister Rabbit isn't the kind of person to hold a grudge. If I praise her a few more times, she'll calm down! At worst, I'll help her scold you, that'll definitely work!"
Jiang Yuan's eye twitched, and he felt an urge to punch the little dumpling. How dare you treat your boss like this!
"Boss, wait for my good news!"
The little dumpling dashed off towards the rabbit, leaving Jiang Yuan behind.
"Damn, this place is really strange; I can't release any soul power at all!"
Jiang Yuan was puzzled. He could not contact his avatar, and even the Stone Breath was no longer working.
He had seen mineral veins before, but none of them had severed all sensory power like this one, so this ninth-tier mineral vein was definitely not as simple as he imagined.
Jiang Yuan, who had been walking, suddenly looked to one side, but there was no movement where his gaze fell.
"Strange, why do I have this feeling of being watched?"
His intuition had always been accurate, but here, he was like a deaf-mute, losing most of his senses, so he couldn't be sure.
"Boss, boss, we have intelligence!"
Just as Jiang Yuan was wondering, the little dumpling came running back excitedly.
"What did she say?" Jiang Yuan asked, perking up.
"Sister Rabbit said that this undetectable staircase is the circular corridor of the main tomb. Only by finding the entrance to the circular corridor can we enter the inner sanctum!"
"Moreover, this circular corridor is a complete ninth-order super mineral vein that has developed its own sentience and is the true guardian spirit vein of the main tomb!"
After the little dumpling finished speaking, it waited expectantly for Jiang Yuan.
"A circular corridor? And a ninth-tier super ore vein!" Jiang Yuan frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "How did she know that?"
"I heard that the scientific expedition team analyzed the ancient tomb murals and remaining documents bit by bit, and they did find the entrance to the circular corridor, but due to their lack of strength, they ultimately failed to reach the end!" The little dumpling was very well prepared, and it was obvious that she had obtained the information from Yu Tu before returning.
"Do you know the location of this ninth-tier super mineral vein?" Jiang Yuan asked tentatively.
"Um, this..."
Seeing the little dumpling stammering, Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Then say it!"
"Boss, please don't hit me when I tell you!"
The little dumpling glanced guiltily at Jiang Yuan. After receiving a nod of approval from Jiang Yuan, it composed itself and said, "Sister Rabbit said you should go back and ask her yourself. Don't make things difficult for this little cutie!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"That's what she said, I didn't change a single word!" The little dumpling shrank her neck and asked weakly, "Then, are there still strawberry-flavored bamboo shoots?"
"I would have asked her if I were out of my mind!" Jiang Yuan said arrogantly.
"Boss, but it seems like Sister Rabbit isn't moving!" The little dumpling pointed ahead.
Jiang Yuan looked up and, sure enough, found that Yu Tu had stopped and was now resting on a rock.
"Come with me!"
Jiang Yuan picked up the little dumpling and walked towards Yu Tu. After a few steps, he cleared his throat and asked, "Why did you stop?"
"I'm tired, can't we just rest here?" Yu Tu said, munching on a piece of roasted meat that looked very dry.
"You should have said so earlier, little dumpling! I'll transform into my battle form and take your rabbit sister for a ride!" Jiang Yuan slapped the little dumpling's head in his arms, and the little dumpling was stunned by the slap. Didn't we agree that even if I was out of my mind, I wouldn't ask? Why did he start licking me right away, licking me without any warning?
"Don't be so solicitous if you have nothing to say. Just say what you need. I find your face disgusting!" Yu Tu said in a cold tone.
“Great! I have two questions: first, the entrance to the circular corridor; second, the location of the ninth-tier super ore vein.”
