Heather put the bed board in place, and did not put Old Man Zhang on the bed. He threw it into the corner. The more casual it was, the fewer people would care. Old Man Zhang should be happy for himself.
At this time, Heather didn't use tools to dig. He dug directly with his hands, and the excavated soil was put into the storage space.
After digging for a while, the solid soil was returned to the ground, and Heather continued to dig deeper.
On the way, I also encountered some crystal clear roots, but these roots were like dead objects and did not move at all.
Heather was cautious and did not dare to touch, trying to avoid contact with the roots.
Humans may not care about ants crawling under their feet. At this moment, Heather tried his best to make himself appear less present than the ants, so as to prevent the cherry tree demon from noticing him.
"Wealth is found in danger!"
"Dang it under the eyes of the ninth level, and you will have bragging rights in the future."
The Sakura Tree Demon should be at the ninth level, perhaps still a powerful existence in the ninth level.
Now I am equivalent to dangling under its feet, is it exciting enough?
As we dug along, we found no water in the heather, and the soil underground seemed dry and not moist enough.
"Sure enough, there are mineral deposits, and they're not too deep."
The Lingshi Mine really has to go hundreds of meters underground, and it's time to dig out the water now.
"It should be down there."
Heather dug with bare hands and dug for a while. When she felt her hand touch something hard, Heather's eyes flashed with joy. Sure enough, the spirit stone mine was not deep.
At this moment, Heather has become a clay figure.
However, Heather didn't care, and didn't even bother to transport the soil upwards, and started to flow forward along the outer mud and rocks.
At this moment, it was a pity that Heather's skull had not been spiritualized properly. Otherwise, like Jing Zishi, he could now use his head to create a passage, which would be more convenient.
Swelling forward along the direction of the mineral vein, Heather's eyes gradually changed.
No wonder no one can go underground to mine!
Underground, some hollow areas gradually appeared!
And these areas are surrounded by some crystal clear roots. These roots weave a huge cage and wrap the entire mineral vein!
Seemingly motionless, once they feel threatened, these roots will instantly turn into murderous weapons.
"Spiritualists from other races are very courageous. Some people here dare to steal mines."
"The Celestial City is like this. Is the Rakshasa City easier to steal?"
As the heather moved forward, the underground seemed to become brighter.
Some miscellaneous and impure spirit stones ores emit a faint light, which is not the light refracted by the sun. The best spirit stones do not rely on this to shine, but the faint light of their own existence.
Although the purity of these ores is not high, the quantity is too large to be measured!
This is not a matter of one or two pieces, but is like a mountain, spreading everywhere, everywhere!
Heather didn't look at it too much. He couldn't take away these spiritual stone mines with too low purity, so he continued to drill holes deeper.
The further forward, the more cautious Heather becomes.
The spiritual energy ahead is getting richer and richer, which also means that we are getting closer to the inner city.
There are many powerful people in the inner city. Although it is one or twenty meters deep underground at the moment, and there is no spiritual energy fluctuation, it would be troublesome if the movement is louder and someone hears it.
Heather squirmed cautiously, not getting close to the spirit stone mines, but weaving in and out of the soil above.
The veins below were densely covered with roots and hard enough. Heather didn't want to make too much noise.
Continuing to squirm forward, Heather didn't know how long she had been crawling. Sometimes when she felt something was wrong, Heather would stop.
Until he squirmed again and felt that the front was empty, Heather was startled and hurriedly grabbed the falling soil in front of him.
Ahead, a passage appeared!
At this moment, Heather has entered the mining area!
Underground, it's bright.
The Lingshi mine in the Imperial City is also constantly being opened.
It means that it cannot be used at all, otherwise the spiritual practitioners in the imperial city would not have the resources to practice.
After listening for a moment, you can vaguely hear some noises in the distance, which may be patrolling teams or mining personnel.
"This is really a nest."
Heather suppressed the throbbing in her heart and carefully dropped down from the hole above. There were still dense roots nearby, but there was no movement.
After landing on the ground and standing in the passage, Heather did not rush to check the situation and quickly repaired the hole above. It seemed as if it had not appeared.
After the hole was repaired, Heather moved forward cautiously.
After walking a few steps, Heather's eyes started to shine a little!
Irregular spiritual stone ores are embedded in all directions of the passage. Not to mention, there are also a large number of mined spiritual stone ores inside the passage.
However, the purity is not high, and some of them seem to have been cut.
"Could it be..."
Shinan seemed to have thought of something, and made some vague guesses for a while.
Those low-purity spiritual stones mined by nearby aliens may have been exchanged and put into underground veins.
The mineral veins are rich in spiritual energy. Some of the spiritual energy spilled from some high-purity top-grade spiritual stones are used by people in the imperial city for cultivation, some are absorbed and stored by the Sakura Tree Demon, and some become the spiritual energy that nourishes these low-purity spiritual stones. source.
A few years later, these low-purity spiritual stones may become high-purity spiritual stones for cultivation.
"Is it sustainable?"
No wonder the imperial city's mineral veins are endless. It seems that the alien spiritual practitioners are not completely without plans.
Once the mineral veins outside the imperial city are found, they will be mined completely. .
From the mineral veins inside the Imperial City, only high-purity spiritual stones of the highest quality will be mined. Low-purity stones will not be mined, waiting to be absorbed by the spiritual energy and continue to be cultivated.
The passage that Heather took may have been abandoned long ago.
Maybe there were high-purity top-grade spiritual stones that were mined later, and now there are no traces of people there. Only some low-purity spiritual stones were artificially scattered inside the passage.
In the past, when he saw so many spiritual stones in the ground, Heather would have picked them up long ago without caring about their purity.
But now, Heather has made no move.
It wasn't until he saw a piece of spiritual stone that was of high purity that it could be used to cultivate the best spiritual stone. He then squatted down, carefully checked the roots around him, gritted his teeth, and instantly put the spiritual stone into the storage space.
The roots remained motionless.
Heather breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that these roots had not yet reached the level of the Sky Eye.
Maybe the lack of spiritual energy can be sensed, but compared to the huge mineral vein, a missing spiritual stone is nothing.
"No wonder there are still guards. This unreliable Sakura tree demon might have been hollowed out long ago."
After walking for a while, Heather's ears moved and she carefully leaned against a depression in the passage.
With my ears close to the wall of the passage, I could vaguely hear the sound of footsteps coming from the next passage, accompanied by the sound of human conversation in the space world.
"The fountain of life is about to open. We are done with this and find a good place to wait for the tide of life to erupt. This time we may be able to take the opportunity to reach the fifth level."
"There's not much hope, unless we can get near the Fountain of Life, but there are a few daimyo and commanders at the center, and there are also sixth-level warrior generals on the periphery, so we can only practice on the periphery."
"That's better than usual. When we reach the fifth level, we can also enter the God of War level life stone vein training in the future. At that time, the training will be much faster than now." "Maybe we don't need to reach the fifth level. Many generals have fallen this time. In order to replenish our strength, the king may let us enter the God of War level area to practice in advance."
"sure?"
"Roughly the same."
"..."
The two people in the next passage were throwing low-level spiritual stones into the passage and communicating in low voices.
Heather listened for a moment and concluded that this was probably an abandoned peripheral mine tunnel.
The real core area is probably still
Deeper.
The fountain of life is also deep inside, and it looks like it will open soon.
After waiting for a moment, footsteps were heard again from the opposite side. The footsteps gradually faded away. Heather also walked out of the depression, pondered for a moment, and continued walking forward.
The underground is so big, even if there are guards, they probably won't be everywhere. Let's find an opportunity to get closer to the core area.
If you don't reach the core area, you can't get close to the fountain of life.
Even if you can't steal the Fountain of Life, but you can take away some high-purity spiritual stones, this trip will still be in vain.
Heather, without the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy, looked inconspicuous in the passage filled with spiritual energy.
Heather felt a little regretful. If he had the invisibility function and walked to the core area openly, took away the fountain of life and put it in the storage space, the enemies might not be able to find him.
Now, although he cannot be sensed, he is still here as a living person and can still be seen with the naked eye, so he is also very dangerous.
"Pity!"
With a murmur in his heart, Heather had already seen the exit of the passage. He raised his ears and listened for a moment. He didn't hear any unusual sounds. Then he walked out carefully and started to explore around.
Although I don't know where the core area is, in the spirit stone mine, there is no need to think so much. The closer to the high-purity spirit stone area, the thicker the spiritual energy, which Heather can still judge.
At this moment, the only thing you have to pay attention to is not to be seen, otherwise you will be in trouble.
Meanwhile, deep underground.
At this moment, Susana was not here. The one presiding over the opening of the fountain of life was an eighth-level daimyo, and several seventh-level commanders stood behind him.
In yesterday's battle, except for the few who died, the two eighth-level soldiers were fine and recovered very quickly from their injuries.
But several seventh-level people suffered from the aftermath of several self-destructions and were seriously injured.
Now that the resurrection channel continues to be stable, when people come to Earth again, several injured commanders will not be able to fight with all their strength.
On a normal day, if it was just a minor injury, neither Susan nor the Guardian would agree to open the fountain of life to heal them.
But at this time, it is necessary to open the fountain of life.
What everyone calls the fountain of life is currently in the center of an underground hall.
In the center of the underground hall, a crystal clear waterfall seemed to be suspended in mid-air.
The waterfall fell from the sky, but it did not fall. It stopped abruptly in mid-air.
Behind the eighth-level powerhouse, a seventh-level commander couldn't help but look envious and said softly: "If we can keep practicing in the fountain of life, maybe we can forge an immortal body soon..."
As soon as these words came out, several commanders around him showed yearning expressions.
The waterfall in front is all the spiritual energy that the patron saint has refined in the Life Mine over the years.
Once they are absorbed unscrupulously, it may not take long for them to forge a golden body and step into the eighth level.
With so much spiritual energy, if the patron saint did not seal it off, once it came into contact with the outside world, it would soon turn into countless high-level life stones.
Even for them, high-level life stones are not dispensable.
They rely on themselves to absorb spiritual energy. Even in an environment like the space world, it may take hundreds or even thousands of years to absorb so much spiritual energy!
The eighth-level powerhouses in front heard the conversations of several commanders, but they didn't take them seriously.
How could it be possible for you to practice unscrupulously!
These life essences have been purified time and time again by Yamata, absorbed and gathered over countless years. In fact, they are prepared to go one step further and become the ultimate king.
Both Yaqi and Susana wanted to go further and had been making preparations.
It's a pity that it's still a little bit behind, and it's still impossible to reach the top.
Otherwise, these spiritual energy would have been used for breakthroughs long ago.
Now it can be opened once to restore the injuries of several people. It is not known how much life essence will be lost. If it is not for the strong men of the earth, they may walk out of the channel at any time. Don't expect Susan and the others to agree to open it.
While several people were talking, the spirit hanging in the air
Qi waterfall, causing ripples all around.
An invisible wave began to spread.
"It's about to turn on!"
The eighth-level powerhouse whispered that in order to prevent the loss of these life essences, the waterfall in mid-air had actually been wrapped in a closed channel solidified by mental power.
The so-called opening of the fountain of life is to open a portal outside the solidified spiritual power channel to allow spiritual energy to flow out.
"After the fountain of life is opened, everyone must absorb the healing as quickly as possible!"
The eighth-level expert warned: "The patron saint must keep the barrier stable to prevent the barrier from breaking and the fountain of life to spread. Everyone must be fast, otherwise the Lord will close the passage at any time!"
If you open a hole in a wall that has been solidified with mental power, other places may also crumble.
Once broken, part of these essence spiritual energy will disperse, and part of it will quickly turn into top-quality spiritual stones.
No matter how pure the spiritual stone is, it is not as good as the essence of the current spiritual energy.
It is easy to destroy but difficult to maintain stability. Even if the Sakura Tree Demon wants to maintain the stability of the outer barrier, it is extremely energy-consuming for the aura essence to only flow out from the open opening.
Especially now that Susan is not in the city, it will be even more troublesome if there is an unexpected situation.
After the eighth-level expert finished his instructions, several commanders immediately said, "Thank you, Daimyo Tozawa, for reminding me!"
"Get ready, everyone else should disperse. The fountain of life will open later. How much you can bear depends on your chance!"
No matter how strong the spiritual energy is, it all depends on how much you can absorb.
The less it is absorbed, the less effective it will be.
If you absorb too much, you may suffer from indigestion and may even strangle yourself to death.
Over the years, the Fountain of Life has been opened three times, and many people have been overwhelmed. As soon as these words came out, everyone below responded and dispersed around the hall.
At this moment, the foreigners who can enter the hall have a minimum level of fifth level, and generally have fifth level Dzogchen.
The rest are sixth-level experts.
As for the other fourth- and fifth-level alien races, they are all guarding the outside passage. Every time the fountain of life is opened, some underground monsters will attack. In order to absorb the spiritual energy, these monsters are no longer afraid of the patron saint's breath.
However, truly powerful monsters will not take risks. They are usually low-level and not very intelligent.
