Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 602: Underground Mine

"So what to do next?"

After checking the harvest this time, Li Wei also had to face a more realistic problem.

That was that all his food, all his medicine, all his material reserves were gone. Although with his current strength, he wouldn't starve to death even if he didn't eat or drink for three years.

But this referred to not entering a combat state.

Once a battle occurred, consumption would be very fast.

If he couldn't eat his fill, and his stamina was maintained at a low level for a long time, even his Collective Sanity would drop.

Confucius had said: Food and sex are the nature of man!

But there was no way to replenish in this place.

For a time, Li Wei pondered for a long time. Ultimately, he still decided to act safely. The first thing next was not to go find trouble with the three people, Liu Sheng, Old Jia, and Old Qiao; three Fifth-tier Epics were not To Joke.

Liu Sheng's Curses and Fire Salamander Puppet, this Warrior Old Jia's defense being near abnormal, Old Qiao's high mobility—especially his Ultimate Move, which could instantly sprint and insta-kill people from a thousand meters away.For example, the Fire Salamander was directly insta-killed.

If the three coordinated with Tacit Understanding, Li Wei would also have to swallow his resentment and die here.

So it wasn't worth fighting with them.

It was better to rely on Adai's help to dive beneath the Lava, search for other Primal Mana Mine veins, and see if he could enhance all his Profession Cards once over.

This was one.

Secondly, Li Wei couldn't forget the purpose for which he came.

So he had to keep a low profile.

Playing dead was best. That Ghost-Head Pass being destroyed was too good!

Because Liu Sheng's group of three had already discovered his identity. This was very likely to expose the strategic intentions of the Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords.

Speaking from this angle, letting them think he was dead was the best.

Next, he couldn't even go grind another Entry Pass.

Therefore, he had to think of a way to mine some Source Ore, and still had to continue building his Outpost Safehouse.

Right while pondering at this time, Li Wei's heart stirred, slightly sensing something. He now wore the Seven-Star Light Armor Set, and his Perception had reached 45 points. His sensing ability was stronger, and his early warning of the surrounding environment was further and more refined.

"It's that Liu Sheng coming. He finally completed the refinement of the Fire Salamander, and is now riding the Fire Salamander over. No, he even put his Covenant Fortress and Blood Bone Tower on the Fire Salamander's back. It has now become a mobile Fortress. This fellow is too awesome."

Li Wei didn't dare to be negligent, immediately changing into the Seven-Star Sacred Heavy Armor, sliding Without a Trace into the Lava, sliding to the bottom of the Lava in one breath.

That's right, with this Seven-Star Heavy Armor, he didn't even need Adai's help to enter the Lava.

What was interesting was that even Adai drilled in together with him, seemingly also very wary of Liu Sheng's group of three.

Thus, after three minutes passed, that Fire Salamander finally appeared above the Lava. It had now thoroughly turned into a massive skeletalized monster, but was still not afraid of raging flames and Lava.

And this Fire Salamander's bones were still nearly four hundred meters long. On its back were indeed installed the Covenant Fortress and Blood Bone Tower.

Five hundred skeletal soldiers were brimming with energy.

And Liu Sheng stood on the Blood Bone Tower, holding a scepter. On it, a massive bloody skull could faintly be seen, ready to release an attack at any time.

As for Old Jia and Old Qiao, they stood expressionlessly outside the Covenant Fortress. By the looks of it, the situation had already been thoroughly mastered by Liu Sheng.

"Mm, right here. In my little salamander's memories, there is a Primal Ore Vein here. Old Jia, Old Qiao, later you guys go down and mine. Rest assured, I am a decent person. Now that Thomas is already dead, the benefits of us three people distributing the Source Ore are extremely good."

Liu Sheng spoke with a smile, then directed and controlled the Fire Salamander. Only to see this thing suddenly open its giant mouth and engage in a bout of devouring towards the Lava. In an instant, the Lava in this area became much less.

But next, this Fire Salamander spat the Lava back out. Just with this back and forth, these Lavas basically cooled down. The Flame Mana inside was unexpectedly stripped out.

These spat out Lavas quickly landed outside, forming a dam.

Although the effect wasn't very good at first, with the cooled Lava melting again, it couldn't withstand that this Fire Salamander was comparable to a sand-dredging ship. This method of its was also no different from blowing sand to build an island.

When a full two or three hours had passed, a dam was unexpectedly truly forcefully created in this area by this Fire Salamander, emptying the Lava inside.

This scene made even Li Wei, hiding five kilometers away, sigh with emotion endlessly.

Liu Sheng, having obtained the Fire Salamander, was truly too strong. Here he was simply an exceptionally advantaged king, even able to think of this kind of method.

However, looking at their position at this moment, it was exactly the position where he previously enhanced his Seven-Star Sacred Heavy Armor and Light Armor. It was a pity about this Primordial Mana Mine vein. Okay, actually there was also Next to Nothing left.

Those accompanying supplies of Li Wei's being exploded beneath the Lava also almost equated to squeezing dry the potential of this place!

At this time, Liu Sheng arranged for Old Qiao to go down first, while Old Jia kept staying by his side to stand guard. Obviously, he was also taking precautions, deeply afraid that Li Wei wasn't dead.

As long as Old Jia could block the first wave of attacks, then the initiative of The Battlefield next would fall into Liu Sheng's hands.

"Six-Star! It's Six-star Origin Ore! I can feel it!"

Very quickly, Old Qiao's pleasantly surprised shout came from below.

"Old Qiao, don't be too emotionally agitated. Hurry up and mine. After a long time, the storage magic on your body will become invalid."

Liu Sheng also shouted.

It seemed over there had entered the right track of mining.

Li Wei watched silently for a while. After thinking about it, he resolutely abandoned the idea of searching for Primordial Mana Mine veins in other locations. Because next, Liu Sheng would execute his Occupation Mission in this place. At that time, that eccentric living creature from the Yuelai Inn would very likely come forward to collect the mined Source Ore.

That Liu Sheng and the others couldn't discover Li Wei didn't mean the people of the Neutral City couldn't discover him.

So he had to evacuate.

"Adai, do you know the exit here?"

Li Wei asked in his heart. Although Adai was no longer his Hunting Pet, actually everything a Hunting Pet should have, he had, including telepathy and mental projection.

As a result, Adai's response was that he also didn't know. He only sensed that Primordial Mana Mine vein, but a huge explosion might have occurred in this place back then; it had long been changed beyond recognition. However, perhaps they could head towards the direction the Lava flowed from to take a look.

But that direction was also the direction the Yuelai Inn sent people.

"We can only risk a try; we can't delay any longer."

Li Wei made a decision, because he had already probed previously. Aside from the direction the Lava flowed from, the remaining directions were all dead ends. The rock walls here were all extremely hard, internally containing extremely dense Earth Mana. High-temperature Lava couldn't melt them, or perhaps they had already been burned to the extreme and couldn't be burned any further. Then of course it was also impossible to dig out a path.

Instantly, Li Wei wore the Seven-Star Heavy Armor, his entire body sinking into the Lava, letting Adai turn into a little crow and pull him forward.

This was the safest.

Otherwise he would very likely be discovered.

Yes, this big coin (cunning person) Liu Sheng unexpectedly placed a few skeletal soldiers in all the rock wall crevices.

If Li Wei dared to open Gale Step to escape, then he would definitely be discovered, and everything would also lose its meaning.

If he alarmed the Neutral City at that time, and they sent out a Tier-6 Immortal, what to do?

So being small had the advantages of being small ah. Adai was now only the size of a broad bean, and could even fly hugging the Lava, yet his strength wasn't affected in the slightest.

Dragging Li Wei to calmly advance in the rolling and undulating Lava. Unless there was a Ranger Scout with rich Experience, relying solely on a few skeletal soldiers wouldn't be able to discover anything.

Thus, after more than half an hour, Li Wei smoothly passed through this Mountain Belly, entering a Passage opening with a width of only a few tens of meters. The Lava here was exceptionally scorching hot, and also exceptionally surging.

Li Wei, wearing the Seven-Star Heavy Armor, was almost baked half to death.

Fortunately, Adai would put an ice armor on him from time to time, letting him catch his breath.

However, wait until passing through this Passage of roughly a dozen or so li, the front suddenly opened up. Only to see that here was unexpectedly entirely boiling Lava; looking out, at least several hundred li.

Moreover, the environment here was even more complex. Although there was indeed a lot of Lava, various stone pillars, stone cliffs, and stone mountains burned incomparably hard could be found everywhere, just like a maze.

Li Wei even saw another Mining Squad.

Without a doubt, this was the Underground Mine occupied by the Neutral City. Due to the area being too large and the terrain too complex, the Neutral City itself had no way to mine it, so they were forced to cooperate with other factions.

At this time, Adai suddenly responded with a piece of information, or rather a segment of visual memory he saw in the Frost Seal.

In the picture was an extremely imposing complex of palaces; it was very brief.

But after Li Wei received it, comparing it again with this underground Lava maze before his eyes, he could immediately judge that this was the ruins of a massive building of the former Ancient Arad Empire.

It could be the imperial capital palace, or it could be other buildings. In short, it was unknown what happened to cause the entire piece of architecture to sink into the land here.

Now it had instead become a Primal Ore Vein.

Thinking of this, Li Wei on one hand had Adai continue to scavenge details in the Frost Seal, and on the other hand memorized the terrain and landforms everywhere, integrating them and attempting to restore them.

This was a very complex and very difficult matter.

Especially since the entire ruin had now lost almost 90%. Many areas were buried beneath the Lava, and the Primal Chaos Beasts within were extremely numerous. Primal Chaos Beasts similar to that kind of Fire Salamander, Li Wei had seen as many as three in just a short time. One of them was even over a thousand meters long, entrenched in a Magma Sea right in the center.

That was also the dead center of the Lava eruption. Within a radius of a hundred li, there was nothing that could be used as a foothold. And these Fire Salamanders easily stirred up giant Lava waves, covering the entire underground space. Estimated that even the existences of the Neutral City had no way to deal with them.

Of course, there was also another possibility, which was that these Fire Salamanders were deliberately left behind by the Neutral City, because that area was very likely the entrance and exit. And the possibility of this guess was extremely great.

If there were other exits all around, then would other factions look on helplessly as you controlled such a good place?

They would definitely sneak in stealthily, either secretly mining, or uniting together to stab your old waist!

Neutral, neutral, there always had to be a few exceptionally advantaged conditions.

"This time it's troublesome. Without an Entry Pass, it's hard even wanting to go out."

"No, I finally understand why it's called an Entry Pass. It's not for passing through the Neutral City, but for passing through this Underground Mine."

Bitter ah!
