Chapter 479 - Gathering Vitality (1/2)

“Boss, are you saying that the news is true?”

Chewing coconut milk candy, the explorer wearing a hat with pointed ears lowers his head and looks at the instrument on his hand. The geomagnetism in s.h.i.+jia Rift Valley is irregular. He doesn’t expect to find the destination with this instrument. However, this place is filled with messy codes. Isn’t it too weird?

They are not the only expedition stationed on the hill around.

Over the past month, explorers with all kinds of thoughts have searched the central mountain range of the valley. Finding this place is actually the credit of their encirclement. However, from the news they got, there should be a natural cave here.

There is nothing wrong with the landmark. Can it be that someone deliberately released a fake message to fool everyone?

It’s natural that everyone makes such an a.s.sumption. There are no caves here but a sinkhole with a radius of more than ten meters and about a hundred meters deep. There are no less than tens of thousands of snakes piled at the bottom of the pit, most of which are highly venomous. They go out and prey along the pit wall, entangled with each other into a dead knot. This kind of slippery and cold visual scene is enough to make the knowledgeable expedition team members feel extremely creepy.

The place which can produce spirit stone mines must be the best blessed places in the whole continent or maybe even the whole planet. The Nami Alliance people don’t understand feng shui but they can tell what kind of place makes people refres.h.i.+ng.

It’s definitely not such a snake pit.

After two weeks of stalemate, some expedition teams have tried to go down the snake pit. Many people have seen it with their own eyes. The explorers who ventured down were dragged into the pit by snakes in the blink of an eye. The snake venom corroded people into a pile of bones, submerged in the bottom of the deep pit where thousands of snakes are surging—then no bones exist.

Burning with fire is actually the best way.

The expedition team which implemented this method was attacked and teased by tons of snakes. That team went mad. It really sets up the alarm for others.

Use neurotoxin?

It doesn’t have much effect on these d.a.m.n old poisons.

Expedition teams miss weapons of ma.s.s destruction very much. However, the place where they stay is the Nami Star with the most stringent security check in the alliance. Besides, this place is s.h.i.+jia Rift Valley, which is the royal territory. Even though the Hidal family, which belongs to Nami, wanted to make trouble, it had to adopt a “beautiful male strategy”. People can imagine how crazily difficult it is to transport weapons to the Nami Star.

“How good it is to carry a particle cannonball! These poisonous snakes will be gasified in an instant…”

The explorer wearing a cowboy hat sighs. He gets the cold eyes from his leader.

“Unless you can disa.s.semble the particle accelerator into 213 pieces and then replace them with your body bones. After pa.s.sing the security check, I will restore the particle accelerator. After that, maybe I will invite you to try that weapon.”

Pointy Ears thinks of the scene described by his leader. After making the particle accelerator, he may become a pile of rotten meat. How can he try the weapon?

“Boss, it’s unrealistic to ask someone to bring in. But if we bring it separately…”

Hasn’t anyone thought about breaking the weapon into small pieces and bringing them to the Nami Star with human bones? The more Pointed Ears thinks about it, the more he thinks this is a good way.

The leader stares at him as if he is looking at a moron, “Adventure is an art. Can you shut up?”

If everyone comes here with lethal weapons, they will not be explorers but interstellar mercenaries living in the dark, as those on the opposite mountain.

Smuggling weapons into Nami Star? Well, even if they find the spirit stone mine, can they take it all away?

Interstellar mercenaries who don’t know how to make a fortune silently are born to be the adversaries of explorers, which is really annoying.

The leaders of the expedition teams discuss it in secret. Ears of the alien with pointed ears move in his hat, “Boss, it looks like it’s going to rain.”

It’s about to be the end of summer in s.h.i.+jia Rift Valley. Therefore, the weather changes quickly and the air humidity increases sharply. All expedition teams have their own weather forecasters. They all return to the camp to shelter from the rain.

But the mercenaries feel disdainful.

Compared to the uncertain hearsay of these expeditions, they get the exact news that there is an amazing spirit stone mine at the snakes pit. The organization which discovered the spirit stone mine has a civil strife. If they don’t take this opportunity, the senior officials of the mercenaries think it is really a reckless waste.

Facing huge benefits, they even get the nerve to challenge the authority of the Nami Star. Coupled with the royal heir incident, the stable but still chaotic Nami Star makes the mercenary group get the confidence to smuggle the spirit stone out.

“Number 1, aim it.”

“Number 1, understood, aimed, and to be launched.”

“Number 2, in place.”

“Number 2 is in place, prepared.”

The dark clouds in the sky become thicker and thicker and the raindrops fall fiercely, blurring the sight of the mercenaries. The rolling clouds obscure the light of the star. Sky suddenly darkens and the air pressure is so low that people can not breathe freely. All the expeditions and mercenary groups present can not help but look up at the sky above their heads at this moment—

Rotating air ma.s.s, thick clouds, flickering electric arc, dull and continuous thunder… a thunder as thick as a bucket suddenly smashes down and hits the ten-thousand snakes pit!

Snake meat flies all around. However, the scene of snake blood splas.h.i.+ng around has not yet appeared. The snakes pit disappears without a trace, revealing a deep hole extending underground.

“It is fake…”

The mercenary group and the expeditions are all dumbfounded. However, the ground eroded by the rain conducts thunder and lightning—Although they are not the main target, they happen to stay within the range of Thunder Doom. These expeditions and mercenary groups really fall on evil days.

Dull thunder shakes the mountain range. Under the deep cave, Lin Luoran closes her eyes in peace.

A beautiful blue jade floats above her head. Lightning strikes on it but it seems to be completely absorbed.

Lin Luoran is now experiencing the upheaval of broken golden elixirs and gathering Vitality.
