Chapter 1315 - Chapter 1315 Chapter 1317 Vine King Honorable

Chapter 1315: Chapter 1317: Vine King Honorable Chapter 1315: Chapter 1317: Vine King Honorable At this moment, Song Jian, having absorbed all the Purple Crystal ore from that pit, was now exploring deeper into the tunnel of the mine.

So many Purple Crystal raw ores, because of their lower grade, containing less energy, “only” allowed Song Jian to rise three levels, now his level had increased to ninety-two.

In less than three hours, he had risen from level eighty-nine to ninety-two, the combat experience gained in those three levels would be enough to take a level sixty player directly into the seventies.

“Could it be that there’s not a single piece of Purple Crystal raw ore in the tunnel, and they’re all concentrated in the pits?” wondered Song Jian as he explored.

The mine was peppered with pits, which were connected by tunnels excavated by Goblin Miners, while the Purple Crystal raw ores were located within those pits.

The closer to the entrance of the mine the pit was, the lower the grade of the Purple Crystal raw ores and most had already been largely excavated; the deeper you went, the smaller the pits and the higher the quality of the Purple Crystals contained within, although they were also much harder to mine.

Song Jian passed through five or six pits in succession, but the majority of the Purple Crystal raw ores in the pits had already been mined out, some only leaving behind a few pieces of extremely low-quality ore that Song Jian didn’t even consider worthwhile.

After an unknown period of time, Song Jian suddenly heard a cacophony of noises behind him as several disheveled Goblin Miners walked slowly towards him, wielding mining hoes in their hands.

Song Jian immediately used his Stealth Skill, and his figure slowly vanished from sight. The Stealth Skill worked quite well against the Goblin Miners, who were only level forty-something. Even as they brushed past him, they didn’t notice Song Jian’s presence.

“Ding ding dang dang~”

Soon, the Goblin Miners entered the pit and began to mine. Their mining hoes struck the hard rock walls incessantly, with each impact sparking flames and leaving only a shallow white mark on the rock. Mining like this, a Goblin Miner could only extract one or two Purple Crystal raw ores a day. At particularly hard areas, they might not even extract a single ore all day, a pace that simply could not compare with Song Jian’s.

“I will explore further into the depths to see if there are any higher quality Purple Crystal raw ores!” Song Jian thought to himself. The quality of the Purple Crystal raw ores in these pits wasn’t much improved from what he had absorbed before, and the hardness of the rock walls had increased significantly.

After moving forward for another ten meters or so, Song Jian suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps and quickly pressed himself into a recess in the tunnel to investigate carefully.

Accompanying the footsteps were the voices of the Abyssal Human Clan, discussing. It seemed they had already discovered that someone had infiltrated the mine and were searching around.

“Who exactly has sneaked in, and from where? There are so many people at the entrance of the mine, yet no one has noticed any traces of infiltration…”

“The guy mines too fast, an entire pit, over two hundred Purple Crystal raw ores gone in just a few hours. If we could mine at that pace, this mine would have been exhausted long ago. What do you think, how does he do it?”

“Who knows, it might just be that God’s Favored. The God’s Favored are like mole beasts, exceptionally good at escaping. Didn’t the honorable Vine King search but find nothing? Maybe the one who sneaked into the Purple Crystal mine is that God’s Favored!”

“Right, the God’s Favored always have some strange and unusual abilities, having such a high mining efficiency isn’t surprising at all!”

“I wonder if he’ll dare to venture into the high-quality area, where the Vine King Honorable is on guard. If he does, we wouldn’t need to suffer through this anymore. The mine shaft is so cramped and suffocating!”

“Hmph, this place is just full of low-grade miscellaneous ores. The high-quality area is the real core, but with the Vine King Honorable protecting it, we can’t get close. Training there can be more than ten times faster than at the entrance of the mine…”

“…”

The few Abyssal humans inside the tunnel were casually inspecting the various mining pits while quietly discussing amongst themselves.

After listening for a moment, Song Jian learned that he was currently in the outskirts of the mine. The truly high-quality Purple Crystal ore was still deeper within.

After waiting a while, the patrolling Abyssal humans moved away. Song Jian emerged from his hiding place and, after pondering for a moment, continued deeper into the depths of the mine.

The mine’s area was quite expansive. Many of the mine tunnels were actually not purposefully constructed by humans but rather resembled natural fissures in the ground that had been slightly excavated further.

The deeper he went, the fewer the signs of manmade excavation, with some places so narrow that only one person could squeeze through by bending over. As he went deeper, the number of Goblin Miners decreased, and the quality of the Purple Crystal ore became higher.

Before long, Song Jian suddenly saw a cluster of crystalline structures ahead in the tunnel, resembling plant roots. These root-like crystals were clear and shining like crystal. They were entwined around a piece of Purple Crystal ore in the rock wall, and at the very tip of the roots, they had penetrated the Purple Crystal ore. A faint energy fluctuation came through, as the energy from the Purple Crystal seemed to be continuously flowing out through these roots.

“Could these roots belong to the Vine King Honorable mentioned by the Abyssal humans?” Song Jian narrowed his eyes, inspecting carefully. Inside his heart, the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye slowly opened a slit and peered towards the roots.

Soon enough, the attributes of these roots appeared before Song Jian’s eyes. Indeed, these roots all belonged to a BOSS named “Abyssal Magic Vine,” and each individual root possessed its own Vitality Points. Cutting off these roots would grant him combat experience and spoils of battle, just like defeating a minor creature.

However, attacking these roots would draw the attention of the Abyssal Magic Vine, and by then, it would likely mean he had to fight this King Level BOSS known as the Abyssal Magic Vine on its home turf.

In this place, which was the main territory of the Abyssal Magic Vine, one could imagine that there were thousands, if not tens of thousands, of such roots. Even if all of them were severed, it would not inflict a fatal injury on the Abyssal Magic Vine, but instead, he might get trapped by these roots and die.

As the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye was observing the roots, the one entwined around the Purple Crystal ore suddenly trembled slightly, as if sensing something. Song Jian quickly closed his Breaking Illusion Divine Eye.

He had only recently acquired the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye and couldn’t fully control it yet. Each time he used it, it would leak the contained Dragon God’s divine might, drawing the noticed of the scrutinized. But as long as Song Jian gradually adapted and gained full control of it, such aftereffects would be resolved, and his surveillance would not attract anyone’s attention.

Song Jian glanced at the Purple Crystal ore wrapped by roots and continued forward. The quality of this ore was extremely high, roughly equal to the spoils of battle he had obtained earlier–a single piece could enhance about 8% of his combat experience.

“There must be even higher-quality Purple Crystal ore inside, but those high-quality Purple Crystal ores are all near the main body of the Devil Vine. Avoiding it and mining will not be an easy task…” Song Jian thought to himself.
