Chapter 339: The Situation in the North
Just as Gong Bing continued to set off on this side, on the other side, the team led by Sean also encountered a lot of trouble.
The same as Gong Bing, Sean also encountered a lot of intercepted enemies, and the difference is that because Sean has more people on the road, he has encountered more enemies, but with fierce firepower, although he bumps along the way, he can cope with the past.
Everyone had been mentally prepared for this situation for a long time, so when they encountered the enemy, no one was surprised.
However, to Sean's surprise, these enemies who came to intercept had various identities, and none of them seemed to be from the organization called Uzwoka.
Sean originally thought that after discovering and confirming Rita's true identity, the Demon Light and the Beast would send their men to snatch it in order to obtain Rita's blood of ability, even if they didn't do it himself.
But so far, the enemies who have appeared in front of them are mercenaries and killers who have been rewarded and paid.
Although Sean still doesn't know anything about the Uzwalka organization, he feels that an organization that can recruit top-level forces like the Beasts and the Demon Light Ones must not be short of subordinates.
But now it seems that Uzvoka didn't take action personally, but just hung up a bounty task in the underground world with Rita as the goal, as long as he can catch Rita, he can get an unimaginably rich reward, so there are so many greedy jackals swarming at this time.
At first, it was just a small fight, and the first people who couldn't help it were some reckless people who didn't know the depths, and when these people hit a wall here with Sean, those who were more cautious and stronger began to slowly appear one after another.
As a result, Sean's group also began to have combat attrition, and the convoy changed from the original five-car team to the current three-car.
Boom, on a mountainside, a pillar of fire rose with a loud thud, and the surrounding trees were burned to the ground, and the aftermath of the impact even carried several cars into the air and then fell far below the hillside.
At this time, in front of the pillar of fire, a middle-aged man in a black suit was standing up from his original half-kneeling position, his two fists were blazing, and the two dancing flames firmly wrapped the fists, but did not burn the man's sleeves, which looked a little strange.
The man had a golden ponytail tied to the back of his head, and his tall and strong figure made the suit look a little tight, and he exuded a powerful aura all over his body, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach.
In front of this middle-aged man, there was a large pit twenty or thirty meters wide and nearly four or five meters deep, the pit was scorched black, and the rolling heat wave kept emitting from it, which was obviously caused by the pillar of fire that had just dissipated, and the person who struck the pillar of fire was this tall and strong middle-aged man.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing black glasses walked from behind, and the strong man turned around when he heard the sound.
"James, thanks to you rushing over, otherwise this time would have been a bit tricky." Sean said as he walked up to James and inserted Moonfall back into his holster.
"Even if I don't come, you can deal with these guys." James waved his hand absently, and as he waved his hand, the flames on his fist were extinguished.
Sean shook his head, the enemies that had just been eliminated by James were not weak hands, and they were not characters that could be sent at will, but he didn't say anything polite to James, and instead asked, "How is the situation in the north?" You're rushing back halfway now, and those people in the government agreed so easily? ”
"Or else? I'm not one of theirs, so what can they do to me? James said disapprerovingly: "There are clashes in the north almost every day, people are dying every day, but it's just a small fight, the powerful characters haven't done anything, and they are barely maintaining restraint at present, and everyone is waiting for the real thing under the mine." ”
Sean nodded, he knew that.
As early as the beginning of last year, a staggering reserve of amethyrite appeared in the northern country of Saltu.
Amethyrite is a rare and high-energy concentrated new type of ore, which has appeared sporadically in the past, but because the quantity is too small, it has only been temporarily used for research and development.
The discovery of amethyrite in a large area this time represents the possibility of large-scale application of this new ore, and the emergence of new energy also means that science and technology will usher in another rapid development, accompanied by huge economic benefits.
In the face of this situation, no country or force is unmoved.
What ordinary people don't know is that amethyst is not only a new type of high-energy ore, but also one of the important materials used to make equipment that amplifies the strength of the ability.
Based on the above two points alone, as soon as the amethyrite appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding powers, including Tutlan, in order to get this amethyte mine, in the country of Saltu, there was a large-scale turmoil, but when the intervention of the two great powers of the Welman Empire and Tutlan further north, the domestic turmoil in Saltu was temporarily calmed down.
In the face of two behemoths, Saltu, who is only a small country, has no qualifications to protest at all, and can only maintain a pitiful balance under the confrontation between the two powers.
And just as the two countries were discussing how to divide the interests, a new situation emerged in the minerals.
Deep beneath this mineral, an ancient ruin was discovered, and it belonged to the Agoura civilization.
You must know that amethyrite also has another name, which is called Agula Paddington.
Just by looking at the name, you can know that this is an ore that has something to do with the Agoura civilization, so the discovery of the remains of the Agoura civilization underneath it is unexpected by everyone, but it is reasonable.
Although the remains of the Agoura civilization are scarce, they still appear here and there in various parts of the world.
Although the Agoura civilization itself has always represented a mysterious power, most of these ruins that have been discovered and excavated are not magical, there may be some ancient murals in them, or some old objects and antiques, but they are not linked to the mysterious power.
And not many people will be interested in these things, except archaeologists and historians.
