spoken and letting the listener fill in the rest.The ripples had settled, but Li Guanxi showed no intention of letting the other person sit down. Holding a handkerchief in his hand, his eyes were red...Mo Shang dust closely followed Lian Xi Ye, he felt that this place was discovered by Lian Xi Ye, and following the other party was safer.
Ripple entered third, followed by Du Yan. Ye Qing was left last again. He knew clearly that because of what had happened before, everyone had already developed a distance from him.
Although he tried his best to explain, everyone was now wary of him. He didn't expect forgiveness at this point; all he wanted was to secure as many resources as possible for himself. That way, even if he split with his fellow disciples later, he wouldn't be left worse off. So, he chose to follow silently, waiting for the right moment to act.
This evening, at this hour, I feel that familiar feeling returning, so I walk confidently at the front.
Ripple wasn't as confident as Lian Ye. She reminded these people that getting food from sand worms was no easy feat. Generally, opportunities like this, specially prepared for those blessed by fortune, required a price for anyone else who wanted to hitch a ride.
So, after entering here, she released DuoDuo to scout this gold sand vein. In fact, if she had used her divine sense, it would have been faster, but unfortunately, the sandworms were very sensitive to cultivators' divine senses. She didn't want to startle them, so she could only trouble DuoDuo.
This vein is trending upwards. They've basically depleted the gold sand ore where they've been. It should have been consumed by sandworms.
Moments later, Duo Duo anxiously sent a voice transmission to Lian Yi:
"Master! Master! You must find a chance to leave, this place is not far from the insect nest!"
"Don't worry, explain it clearly."
Ripples slowed her pace and spoke.
"The sand worms in this area are all congregated around the center of the Gold Mine. The only female worm is producing, and the other sand worms are providing for her. Once the female worm finishes giving birth, the adult sand worms will send their chosen eggs back to the nest to hatch themselves. By then, you won't have a chance to leave."
With the current cultivation level, dealing with seven or eight adult sandworms is no problem. But what if there were dozens or hundreds of sandworms Two fists are no match for four legs. The master needs to make plans as soon as possible.
Dodo immediately succinctly explained the situation. It wasn't that she was undermining her master's authority, after all, her master wasn't yet at the peak of this plane of existence. Some risks were simply unnecessary.
"I see, this Celestial Path is quite ruthless. It didn't let Lian Ye get much benefit from the Blue Cap Fungi, but it specifically left the Sandworm's food storage empty for him to harvest more resources. This is definitely true love."
Ripple said helplessly.
"Master!"
Dodo didn't expect her owner to still have the mood to complain. She immediately called out.
"I heard you. I'll meet up with you in a bit."
Her ripple gray eyes flashed, revealing a fox's tail in the unseen. In the next instant, two ripples appeared, and one of them vanished, hiding their figure. The other continued marching with the main force.
The ripples she uses now are the secret techniques of the Huantian Fox clan. She is already a seven-tailed Huantian Fox, which means she has seven clones. Each of her tails can transform into her own person, but it's not exactly her. Besides cultivators with higher cultivation than her and members of the fox clan, ordinary people cannot tell the difference accurately. This was what she realized when she ascended to the seven-tailed stage.
With a doppelganger taking her place, Lianyi went to meet DuoDuo.
Now that Dodo's roots had spread throughout the entire Golden Sand Mine, she was able to gather information with such precision.
"Master, where are we going now"
A shower of petals landed on Lian Yi's wrist, and she immediately asked.
Where is the best gold mine in the entire Golden Sands vein
"...Master, what do you want to do"
Suddenly, Duo Duo had a bad feeling.
What else can be done, of course, is to intercept Li Xiye's night.
The ripples replied, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"...Master, the best gold-sand ore is now in the middle of the vein. The mother worm is producing, she needs a lot of energy, aren't you going to go there It's very dangerous, there are at least hundreds of adult sand worms gathered there."
Dodo pleaded with him earnestly to stop.
"Who said I have to take charge myself"
Ripple said with a malicious grin.
"That's great! Not... Master! Our entire clan only has Doudou left, how could you bear to..."
Doudou started to cry.
"Why are you crying I didn't say you were going alone, there's still me!"
Liàn Yī touched her wrist and said with a smile.
"No, Master, you mustn't go to your death either!"
“Who said I have to go die We still have tonight! Since he wants to fleece more resources, he definitely won’t be acting with us at the time. You are responsible for luring him to the heart of the ore vein, and then I will take my chance to attack, and let him take the fall.”
Ripples simply explained her plan.
"Can this work Will he take the bait"
“A pile of top-grade gold sand mine was in front of him, specially arranged by the supervisor above. What do you think”
Ripples asked in return.
"Dodo understands, let's begin preparing."
Dodo immediately understood Lianyi's meaning, so she quickly separated a small red flower to entice Lianxi Ye.
And the other six on Lianxi Ye also walked from the outer rim of the Jinsha mine vein to the edge of the enclosed area. As the Jinsha ore became denser and of higher grade, their eyes shone with amazement.
The doppelganger rippled, opening its mouth:
"Folks, I think it's best we stop going any further. Let's just mine the gold sand right here! Going deeper scares me, what with the sandworms. This is their home turf after all, and venturing too deep would be detrimental to us, increasing the risk considerably."
Mo Shangchen nodded in agreement.
I agree with Eileen's suggestion. We can dig as much gold sand ore as we can, depending on our own abilities.
The resources available before us should certainly be fought for, but nothing is more important than one's own life.
At dusk, Lian Xi furrowed his brows. He still wanted to walk further in. The gold sand mines he saw now were of medium to lower quality. If he walked further, he might be able to find high-grade gold sand ore. A piece of high-grade gold sand ore was worth a hundred pieces of medium-grade gold sand ore, so there was still a difference between them.
Du Yan immediately nodded, and began carefully releasing her divine sense to choose a direction to dig for gold sand ore.
Because Ripple extended a helping hand before, now Du Yan is basically on Ripple's side.
And she knew that one shouldn't be too greedy. The harvest in the desolate wasteland was already considerable, and with the golden sand ore, if she could successfully find the cave dwelling of the Nascent Soul cultivator, this trip would be a full success. She wasn't at her wit's end, so there was no need to take unnecessary risks.
Mu Sheng also had the same attitude. Even at dusk, she didn't say anything in the end. She just chose a direction and went her separate way to dig with the others.
Ye Qing knew that she was not well-liked, so she chose a direction away from everyone.
Everyone had chosen their spots and started digging with their mining picks. Each person’s avatar sent out ripples of energy to create soundproofing barriers around them, preventing the sounds of excavation from spreading.
On the path, Mo Shangchen and Du Yan learned from each other. Only after dusk had fallen and they'd avoided all eyes did they carefully continue to make their way towards the center of the garden.
“The brothers really don’t want to live.”
Du Yan muttered something, but her hands never stopped. She dug out a piece of gold sand ore and threw it into her storage bracelet, occasionally releasing her divine sense to observe the surroundings.You're lying!"The man with broken limbs struggled to defend himself."Is it really true I'll just take out your heart and know!""No"As the other party spoke, ripples pulled out their heart and threw it...
