The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 614 463: Situation Has Changed, Exploring the Inland

Now, in the eyes of the players, what exactly is the situation with the Water Element?

Chun said to Mei, "You play the part of the N... Water Element."

Mei laughed, "Sounds fun! I'm in!"

After all, only an NPC can play an NPC. As for what will happen next, Chun wasn't worried at all about them recording it and seeking advice everywhere, because a secret mission discovered by a small team would surely be kept tightly under wraps.

...

At this moment, the five people on site were both shockingly delighted and utterly puzzled as they looked at this even more towering Water Element, three stories high and glowing with golden light, with a Green Name.

"What's going on? I clearly tamed it, so why are there no command options?"

Chun almost couldn't hold back! To be honest, you only know how fierce this Water Element is once you fight it. They don't even have a single Rune Technique, they're just relying on five makeshift shields?

Finally, Divine Fall Wind initiated a verbal negotiation, "Hydrahis, come with us."

Hydrahis snorted, "Where to?"

Divine Fall Wind replied, "Of course to the Dragon Concealment Hall!"

Hydrahis asked, "And what kind of place is that?"

Divine Fall Wind said, "It's a very mysterious and high-end organization. They sent us to greet you."

"Where is this organization?"

Divine Fall Wind sweating profusely, "We're not sure either. We always enter through a Teleportation Array, and we come out in different places each time. Anyway, the mages there are super powerful, nothing like the ones in the city."

Chun felt uneasy. As soon as he heard the name Dragon Concealment, it was evident it had something to do with Lizardmen. He could even verify it by triggering Dragon Language. Yet he didn't mention Lizardmen at all?

Or maybe these Lizardmen are so high-end that they can all transform into human forms, so they don't even know they're Lizardmen?

This is entirely possible, just like the Lost Paradise Black Dragon Fortress, where all the Black Dragons have taken human forms, with just a pair of Dragon Horns on their heads showing. Who knows if Dragon Horns can't transform, but since lizards have no horns, they could entirely take human forms, right? The Lizardmen are wiped out by humans; they can't reveal their identities in front of regular players!

So this implies that the Lizardmen might even have infiltrated human society? Thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle! And considering they might be used by the Lizardmen really makes one a bit conflicted!

Hydrahis snorted, "I can't remember. Right now, I just want to have fun. If they want to find me, let them come in person!"

The players were stunned, looking at each other before starting to discuss, "How about we retrieve the gemstone and sell it first to cover the losses of these trips?"

"Sounds good. Forget the mission for now; we're broke!"

"Besides, the mission didn't fail, and we did get the prompt!"

So Divine Fall Wind asked, "Lord Hydrahis—"

Pfft! Chun couldn't hold back again; starting to call him 'Lord' now, huh?

"—May I ask where you will be playing, Lord?"

Hydrahis said, "Depends on my mood!"

Divine Fall Wind asked again, "Then will it be convenient for us to find you next time?"

Hydrahis replied, "Depends on my luck!"

After speaking, the lower body of the Water Element transformed into a fish tail shape, sliding out of the pond, instantly revealing the dazzling gemstones beneath the pond!

Holy Shit!!!

The players were wildly excited, "In that case, Lord, enjoy yourself!"

Alright, with this pool of gemstones, it's hardly a rip-off. Let's get rich first.

So Mei gleefully controlled the Water Element to glide across the wilderness; it wasn't even that slow!

Then Chun looked back at the players. They seemed not in a hurry to retrieve the gemstones but instead began digging with their Mining Pickaxes, clearly preparing to bury the treasure for the next time. This operation further proved they would definitely keep the gemstone pit and Water Element's secret and would never disclose it to any player.

Feeling assured, Chun was still a bit worried, "Mei, what if that powerful mage from the Dragon Concealment Hall shows up?"

Mei laughed, "This is your summoned creature. Just dismiss it, and where would they find it?"

That makes sense. Chun asked again, "If I dismiss it, will it be as strong when I summon it again next time?"

Mei laughed, "Of course not! So cherish having it now. So, where are we going now? Attacking Purple Flower Village?"

Chun immediately thought it unwise, "The situation's changed, no way!!"

Ambushing the Mirror Demon should be done secretly; how could they make a public appearance? Once the hidden masters in the village discover the Water Element and the news spreads, who knows, the Dragon Concealment Hall might find out immediately.

Besides, the Ten Lords aren't fools. It's been an hour or two already, and the disappearance of a Mirror Demon from a village must have other villages focused on defense, deploying experts for an investigation. No way they'd let us 'rural invade urban,' eating up the Mirror Demons from several villages.

Moreover, Aileen shows no signs of digesting and absorbing it completely. The Mirror Demon she ate resulted from rear support, so she must be very full and unable to digest it in a short time, and there's no need for us to continue eating Mirror Demons.

So, we can't really go to Purple Flower Village now! Having the Water Element as a body means there's a soul resting place, so there's no rush. We must at least wait until they relax before coming back for the kill.

So where can we go now?

Chun opened the map, and the vast, almost blank inland deeply attracted his gaze. Actually, he was quite interested during the open beta, but back then, he thought it was simple, thinking he'd go there with high levels. Now, the opportunity is right here!

Chun said, "Mei, let's explore deeper inland and see. I don't know what's there, but it must be fun."

Mei chuckled, "Interesting! I've been in the sea all the time and have always wanted to know what's deep inside the continent!"

Chun felt gratified, "As long as you're happy!"

Mina said, "But I've heard the inland is very dangerous. During the grand expansion, many powerful monsters were driven deep into the inland."

Mei arrogantly smiled, "It's okay, I can transmit Divine Power! Besides, transferring Water Elements is particularly easy!"

That's right, the timing, location, and people are perfect; missing this chance would indeed make it hard to find another.

Chun was still a little worried, "Do we have enough Divine Power?"

Mei laughed, "Right now Black Iron City is beaming with joy. I said I would share my portion of the profits with everyone, and the support is fanatical!"

Chun was surprised, "How much is your share of the profits?"

"I think it's 49%?"

Holy shit, so greedy! This must be Sariel's doing?! But if she's sharing it so freely, Sariel surely wouldn't oppose it, as it also builds her faith. But as for the other interest groups... forget it, too much to handle.

Now, after a busy half-night, Chun finally had a rare moment of relaxation, so it's time to sleep.

"Mei, Mina, I'm off to rest. Have fun, you two."

"Okay, master!"

"Go on, go on. When I'm tired of playing, you must take over on time!"
