Ting-a-ling~

In the mine, sparks were flying everywhere, and all the Abyss players were astonished to discover that the hardness of the rock wall exceeded their imagination.

“Damn it, how can this rock wall be harder than alloy steel? How are we going to mine this?” One Abyss player was clearly disheartened, staring at the Purple Crystal ore on the wall, which was less than a step away from him. Yet this single step seemed as distant as the ends of the earth.

Although the quality of this piece of Purple Crystal ore was average, emitting only a faint purple hue, it was still a considerable fortune for these Abyss players.

Unfortunately, these Purple Crystal ores were like carrots dangling in front of a donkey, visible but unattainable.

“I refuse to believe this!” The Abyss player with the Master Level Mining Skill had a fierce look in his eyes as he gripped a Silver Quality pickaxe with both hands and smashed it hard against the rock wall.

The Master Level Mining Skill greatly enhanced not only the efficiency of excavation but also the quality of the ores. With his attack, he managed to carve nearly half an inch deep into the rock, and the chipped stones flew out like bullets, cutting lines of blood across his face.

However, this member of the Abyssal Human Clan didn’t care in the slightest, continuously swinging the pickaxe in his hands. After ten minutes, a shallow circle of marks had formed around the Purple Crystal ore.

It seemed that in less than two hours, he would be able to extract this ore.

Envy shone in the eyes of the others. With this player’s speed, he could mine four or five Purple Crystal ores in a single day. If all were used to level up, he could easily increase his Combat Power by 20% to 30%. In other words, in this mine, he needed just four or five days to level up.

This rate of advancement was more than ten times faster than grinding monsters. The others quickly calculated this in their heads, their eyes growing hotter.

“If only I knew, I would have trained in Mining Skill too. Who would have thought that one day Mining Skill could be used to level up?”

“Hmph, even if you trained, so what? You need at least a Master Level to do it. I’m already at Expert Level in Mining Skill, and I can’t mine it either…”

There were individuals who were still not resigned to giving up, and even without practicing Mining Skill or having mining tools, they kept swinging their weapons, tirelessly chopping at the rock walls surrounding the Purple Crystal ores.

“Should we go deeper and try to mine there? Maybe the rock walls inside will be more brittle?”

“Good idea, we’ll try a different spot. They can’t all be this hard, can they? How are we supposed to mine? Are you saying that the Goblin Miners who used to mine here all had Master Level Mining Skill?”

“Let’s go, let’s go deeper and see. We might find a softer spot, and besides, the quality of the Purple Crystal ores should be higher the closer we get to the inside…”

Some people gave up on continuing to stay in this mining pit and followed the tunnel towards the deeper parts of the mine.

The Abyss player with the Master Level Mining Skill looked up at the group for a moment and sneered with a hint of scorn in his eyes.

“These people, like fools, understand nothing. They can’t even mine the ores near the entrance of the mine, and they still foolishly dream of mining deeper?”

“The higher the quality of the ore, the harder it is to mine. There might indeed be higher-quality Purple Crystal ores deep in the mine, but the surrounding rock walls will surely be even harder. These people will be disappointed and return before long!”

At that moment, the mine was bustling with noise. The Abyss players lacked both organization and discipline, even falling short of the Goblin Miners. In a short time, hundreds of people had entered the mine, akin to tossing a handful of sand into the sea, quickly vanishing without a trace.

Standing outside the mine shaft, an Abyssal Human NPC clad in armor bore a stern face. Behind him, hundreds of Abyssal Warriors stood in neat rows, unmoving. With hundreds of people standing there, only the rustling of clothes in the wind could be heard, not even a heavy breath was audible.

“Captain, the revered one has ordered us to enter the mine and investigate the Devil Vine King’s situation while wiping out all the divine favored ones inside the mine shaft without mercy,” a messenger wearing leather armor hastily ran to the lead Abyssal Human and whispered in his ear.

“Hmph, I’ve been displeased with those locust-like divine favored ones for some time now. When guarding the town, most were hardly contributing, thinking they’ve done their part by casually throwing out a couple of skills? Ridiculous!” Lanqi huffed, waving his right hand and leading the troops towards the entrance of the mine shaft.

“First Squadron, Second Squadron, Third Squadron, follow me in. Fourth Squadron, guard the entrance. No divine favored ones are to escape. Execute any who flee to the entrance, without question!” Lanqi commanded coldly.

“Understood!”

At the command, the Abyssal Human Warriors flooded into the mine like a tide. They were the most elite warriors of the Abyssal Human Clan, and they showed no signs of fear even when facing a terrifying boss like the Abyssal Magic Vine.

Indeed, it was because of these fearless warriors that the Abyssal Human Clan could gain the upper hand in the battle against the Abyssal Magic Vine. If they had relied solely on the three individuals from the Legendary Realm, they would stand no chance against the Abyssal Magic Vine.

However, this time the casualties among the Abyssal Human Clan’s army were severe. From a force of over three thousand, less than eight hundred remained, and those present were now the majority of the town’s combat power.

By this time, Song Jian had already entered the mine along with the divine favored ones. He knew the intentions of these Abyssal Warriors were not good, but with his strength, even if these Abyssal Warriors formed a battle array, they wouldn’t pose a threat to him, especially since the narrow terrain inside the mine was to Song Jian’s advantage.

Song Jian, now in stealth mode, moved silently towards the depths of the mine. The further he went, the more damaged the passageways became, some even completely collapsed, necessitating the removal of obstructing rocks to proceed.

The Stone Man Gulu was in economic hibernation, and once awakened, would likely rise straight from Lord Level to Overlord Level, with a considerable increase in level, putting him on the same level as the Black Dragon Carta.

But even so, the Stone Man Gulu would stand no chance against the Black Dragon Carta, for Carta had awakened his bloodline inheritance, not only mastering unique combat techniques of the Black Dragon clan but also learning a vast array of Dragon Language Magic. To massacre the elevated Stone Man Gulu would be no problem at all for him.

Song Jian, straining with the effort, moved the rocks that blocked the mine shaft while sudden sounds of combat and screams reached his ears, causing his actions to pause momentarily.

“Have those Abyssal Warriors started to clear out the players who entered the cave?” Song Jian thought to himself.

Just then, several Abyssal players stumbled their way towards him. Instantly, Song Jian hid in the shadows behind the rocks.

“Damn it, have these NPCs gone mad? Why did they start attacking us as soon as we entered, without saying a word? We helped guard their city before!”

“Huff huff~, we have to wait another five minutes before we can exit combat status. Only when we’re out of combat status can we leave this place. Five minutes… Those maniacs could slaughter us all by then!”

“If they didn’t want us to mine these resources, why didn’t they just seal off the mine instead of letting us in? They just want to kill us off!”

…

As the Abyssal players complained, they hurried deeper into the mine. Upon seeing the blocked passage, all their faces fell with despair, one of them even collapsing to the ground, bursting into loud sobs.
