Chapter 210: A Race Against Time
The Survival Committee's "Resources Decree" stipulates that the scope of Dragon City and all the mining resources discovered by the people of Dragon City are theoretically the common wealth of the entire civilization and should be used for the grand cause of the earthlings to conquer the other world.
The person who discovers the spiritual vein first enjoys the right of first refusal, which can not only organize manpower and material resources to develop on his own, but also transfer the right of first refusal to a powerful mining group to earn a high transfer fee.
In addition, there is an unwritten rule.
Anyone who discovers the spiritual vein can choose a spar with the highest purity, the best condition, and the richest spiritual energy from the mineral deposit and take it away as a "souvenir".
Depending on the type of spar, the size of the "piece" is not willing, and ensuring its value is enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of prospectors to go forward and work hard.
Because it is difficult for super-first-class powerhouses above the Heavenly Realm to go deep into the underground spiritual veins to explore.
This has become a shortcut for the earth realm powerhouse to impact the heavenly realm, or the quasi-first-class master who has just entered the heavenly realm, and to impact the ranks of the strongest people.
It is no wonder that even the veteran prospectors and the battle-hardened hunters can't help but be happy.
"See, folks, our sacrifice is worth it!"
Lu Siya jumped on a piece of crystal clear azure ore, waved her fist and said, "The past prospecting experience tells us that the distribution of spar veins often presents the characteristics of 'a hundred birds and a phoenix', if dozens of spar veins are gathered together, it must be because there is a super crystal ore with more abundant spiritual energy here, that is, the red glow jade vein!"
"My perception will not be wrong, I can already vaguely see the depths of the earth, the beautiful red glow is shining, the value of this red glow jade vein is definitely ten times more than the crystal ore you see in front of you, we-"
She also wants to fight again.
A prospector stumbles over and reports a bolt of bad news.
Three minutes later.
Everyone gathered in the brightest corner of the mine.
The crystals here bloom like magnificent flowers, forming a crystal throne of extreme luxury.
If it weren't for a metal sign poked in front of the crystal cluster, everyone would want to go up and sit down and record this incredible picture, which they would be able to brag about decades later.
But the words engraved on the metal plaque with teeth and claws shattered all their interest.
"Huanyu Group, 122 Prospecting Team, December 25, New Era 55."
Below are the names of the members of the prospecting team.
As well as their preliminary exploration and analysis of the spar types and the composition of various associated ores in this vein.
Huanyu Group is another super force of the same size as Qingtian Group.
It was also in the bloody era when the social order collapsed not long after the Dragon City had just crossed, and it rose strongly, established a new order, and even created the giant of the survival committee.
The rise of the two superpowers, Huanyu and Qingtian, is very similar, both started by exploring spiritual veins and mining hedrons.
To this day, mining development remains the core business of both companies.
Naturally, "peers are enemies".
Yesterday was December 25th.
The prospecting team of the Universal Group was the first to discover the spar vein.
It means that the excitement and ecstasy of Lu Siya's prospecting team a moment ago have become a joke.
They lost their right of first refusal.
Theoretically, not half of the stone here can be moved without the danger to life.
Everyone's faces were instantly clouded.
His gaze turned into magma and burned the metal tablet to ashes.
Of course, they both knew that it would be useless to destroy the metal plate - the prospecting team of the Universal Group must have filmed the entire process of exploring the hedron vein, and excavated many samples, leaving a lot of evidence that they were the first to discover this place.
As long as the evidence can be returned to the surface.
Huanyu Group will never be afraid of any means of Qingtian Group.
"Damn, it's just one step away!"
"There is obviously no trace of encampment by the lake, and it is impossible for the two lion dragon fish to watch them dive to the bottom of the lake, where did these bastards get in?"
"Is there a second way to the underground?"
Everyone gritted their teeth and looked hideous.
Lu Siya took a deep breath, and a few stubborn blushes appeared on her pale face.
"Guys, we haven't lost yet!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "Huanyu Group's prospecting team only discovered these associated ores before us, but they haven't found the real red jade veins yet.
"Don't forget our primary purpose, the value of the red spar veins is ten times higher than these ordinary spar veins.
"Now that the enemy is in the dark, we already know about the existence of the Huanyu Group's prospecting team, but they don't know that there is another prospecting team that is close to them.
"Cheer up, race against time, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory!"
This time, under the dim light of the hedron, Lu Siya re-boosted her morale without much effort.
The prospecting team continued to follow her senses.
The terrain of the underground caves is a hundred times more complex than the most treacherous mountains and rivers on the ground.
Bottomless crevices, turbulent dark rivers, large holes set small holes, the drop often reaches tens of meters, even if there are occasional natural tunnels, they are also meandering, and the paths are bifurcated, like a maze.
There are also a large number of underground creatures such as snakes, insects, rats and ants, all of which have evolved into monsters because they are nourished by spiritual veins, and they have not seen the power of humans like the monsters on the ground, and they know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but they are ignorant and fearless, and they have launched attacks on the prospecting team one after another.
Along the way, they lost two more men.
A transcendent of the Blade Clan, he was overwhelmed by a tidal wave of poisonous scorpions as he broke off.
When his teammates rescued him, he had been stung by the scorpion's tail, and the venom had caused his whole body to swell into a ball of blue and purple flesh, and no amount of antidote and genetic medicine would be injected.
Another prospector, while climbing a rope across a bottomless valley, was swept down by a giant bat-like monster perched on the top of a cave, leaving no bones left.
The wings of these giant bats are as sharp as knife blades, and they can also release infrasound waves of special frequencies, interfering with the supernatural beings to construct spiritual magnetic fields, causing them great trouble.
Even the three Heavenly Realm powerhouses, after killing hundreds of giant bats, turned pale, breathed rapidly, and their spiritual energy was exhausted.
Lin Chuan told Meng Chao that they had gone deep into the underground mining area, where different kinds of spars produced psionic oscillations of different frequencies, which were staggered together, causing great interference to the life magnetic field of the transcendental.
The higher the realm of the transcendent, the stronger the interference.
Like him, he hears a deafening roar all the time, and a kaleidoscopic light spot appears in front of him, and the thoughts in the depths of his brain are chaotic, as if every brain cell is going to be out of control, and it is difficult to concentrate and calm down, and at most 30% of his combat power can be exerted.
On the contrary, it was Meng Chao like this, who had just embarked on the transcendent path of the one-star Spirit Pattern Realm, and could still maintain the stability of the spiritual index and exert 100% combat effectiveness.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Lu Siya has to bring a one-star transcendent.
Meng Chao secretly observed the expressions of the rest of the transcendents.
found that they sometimes raised their eyebrows, sometimes gritted their teeth, and sometimes smiled nervously, as if they were immersed in the dream of discovering the red glow jade vein, and there was a feeling of being hypnotized by the treasure but not knowing it, only to know that what Lin Chuan said was true.
Wealth is moving, even if it is claimed to be extraordinary, but it is not exempt from vulgarity.
Fortunately, except for snakes, insects, rats, ants and giant bats, there were no high-level super beasts encountered along the way.
Moreover, Lu Siya used the intuition of the "sensitive", Dr. Ye searched for the traces of the Blood Pattern Flower, and the traces left by the Huanyu Group's prospecting team, and they never lost their way, and more and more signs of the existence of red jade veins appeared around them, so that their morale was still quite high.
After crossing the abyss where the giant bats were entrenched, and trekking forward for more than half an hour, the front suddenly opened up to an "underground jungle" composed of giant mushrooms.
These giant mushrooms are more slender than the "screaming mushrooms" in Meng Chao's previous life memory fragments, and there are some mosses that emit a ghostly light attached to the surface, which is both mysterious and dangerous.
None of the seasoned prospectors had ever seen such a mushroom.
It should be a new variant.
I don't know if there is an unknown danger lurking.
Zhang Weiyan suggested setting up camp here and resting for six to eight hours to regain his strength, while also conducting a study of these mysterious mushrooms to determine whether they were poisonous, acidic and aggressive, and whether there were more deadly monsters lurking in the surrounding underground.
"There is no time, the prospecting team of the Huanyu Group is at least twelve hours ahead of us, and if it drags on, they will be the first to discover the red glow jade vein, and the four warriors who died heroically will all die without turning a blind eye!"
Lu Siya said categorically, "There is only one road here, and the prospecting team of the Huanyu Group must also pass through this mushroom, they can do it, of course we can, even if we want to rest, we will wait until we pass through this underground jungle!" ”
Just as she first jumped into the lake where the lion dragon fish inhabited, this time she was the first to step into the mystical mushrooms.
Her female bodyguard, Lu Fengying, soared into the air, and staggered into the air under the strong spiritual magnetic interference, and the spiritual flame turned into a sword light and sword shadow, slashing at the mysterious mushroom.
A large number of mushrooms were chopped to pieces by her, squirting sticky juice.
But these juices are not toxic or corrosive, except that they are slimy and disgusting.
Lin Chuan and the scimitar glanced at each other, and also flew over the underground jungle, stirring up the sword qi, slashing the mysterious mushroom into pieces, staggering from side to side.
The mystical mushroom remains motionless, like an oversized mushroom, at the mercy of humans.
The crowd formed a battle formation and stepped into the underground jungle.
Advancing to the center of the mysterious mushroom, stepping on the pink slime, there was still no abnormality, and everyone's hearts hanging in the air gradually fell back into their stomachs.
The fragments of memories of his past life in the depths of Meng Chao's brain were about to move, and for some reason, an ominous premonition surfaced.
