Chapter 246: Metal Mines (2/2)

One genius is already troublesome enough.

The guardian is cursing the emperor left and right in his heart.

The miners slowly started feeling fear and fear is extremely infectious. One by one everyone is afraid to stay near the mines and this way, the Nascent was forced to give a holiday to all the miners in three mines.

The whole mining activity was stopped and special formation has been activated which would activate on the presence of an intruder in a certain range.

But what they don't know is even before the mine was closed, a shadow mouse entered the mine completely.

Yes, Sam and his teammates are inside the mine. As soon as they escaped, the miners are in a frenzy and this is the best time to come in.

After the mine was closed, they came out. The mines are equipped with the best concealment formations that they could possibly afford. Because the leakage of the spiritual energy will attract beasts and if a powerful beast comes here, there would be some serious damage.

Right now, Sam and his friends are inside the minefield. In this minefield, there are a total of three mines. Two metals and one metal elemental spirit stone mine.

Sam has a lot of spirit stones with him and his wealth almost equals the annual output of the mine.

Generally, the spiritual stone mine wouldn't run out of supply for centuries.

They are formed by a spiritual meridian as a core which is a naturally formed concentrated spiritual energy substance and the energy that is being dissipated from it, and deposited to the surroundings causes the formation of spirit stones.

So, they stay there for centuries and Sam can only destroy them temporarily. That is why he set up a trap in the Blaze city and now also he is planning the same.

But before that, he has one more thing to do and that would be the duty of his friends and his beasts.

That is the extraction of the spirit stones.

Right now, the whole mine is surrounded by soldiers and they are all completely concentrated on protecting the perimeter.

So, now Sam and his friends have a great opportunity to mine the spirit stones.

The metal element spirit stone will fetch at least four normal spirit stones.

So, while Sam is getting ready to set up his plan, his three friends along with the beasts are on their way towards getting the spirit stones out.

Of course, the cannot take them out all at once, they can at most get a hundred thousand or two. But the spirit stone is not major goal and they are just doing it to get a quick profit.

Meanwhile, Sam is making his preparations.

After four days, Sam and his friends are done. They are ready to leave and at the same time, the people outside are having a hard time. They are feeling that Sam is only bluffing and their patience is running thin.

So, it is about time they leave.

But before they left, they entered a special place in the minefield and that place is the Inventory.

The mined items are handled in a certain manner, they are absolutely not going into any person's personal storage. The miners have to strip completely and wear the provided uniform and their storage rings should be handed over.

They will be given a temporary storage ring in which they would store the mined things.

These items would be stored in a special room, where only the guardian could enter. He will deliver these storage rings every month to the Dukedom.

Right now, there is a fully stored store room inside.

Sam took all the storage rings and tweaked with the place a bit to leave some gifts.

After that, they silently sneaked out of the place and this time Sam was surprised because the alarm formation actually detected the shadow mouse when it passed through it, then only he felt relieved that he sneaked in before the formation was set up. The formation might have a feature of detecting life force.

But now he didn't care. After leaving the formation, they sneaked into the woods and before the people could come, they are gone.

The Guardian immediately went into the room and only found it empty with a letter stuck on the wall. He was stunned by the scene and after a brief silence, he pulled the letter with shaky hands. He was surprised that the letter was attached to a wooden stick that was pierced into the wall. He pulled the stick out of curiosity and…

*BOOM*

More than twenty methane grenades blasted the surroundings of the room.

There is no damage inside the room because it would be a pipe dream to damage a Nascent with that level of methane.

The guardian read the letter which has one familiar message.

”SAM WAS HERE.”

At this moment, a worker came running.

”What happened?”

”The... The Mines.”

The guardian came running towards the mines and was stunned by the scene.

The mines are completely filled with green colored translucent crystal structures. All the walls are almost as if they are carved out a green crystal.

This is the impact crystal. Yes, Sam used the impact crystal on the walls and floors of the mines.

Now, if they want to mine, they have to go through the impact crystal first.

While the guardian was in distress, the workers are having already quivering in their boots. The twenty blasts that occurred when the guardian pulled the stick achieved their purpose because they are placed near the miners changing areas. The room was empty but that is still not okay for them.
