Chapter 599 - Demonic Vines (1/2)

Pure Gold Sand Ores are extremely hard and can be used to create top-notch weapons. Unfortunately, it not only harbored a large number of impurities, but it was also extremely hard to harvest. If they were to be harvested by hand, it might take a thousand, or even ten thousand years, to gather the Pure Gold Sand Ores necessary to forge a longsword.

”Brother Yang Ling, you need not look at it anymore. After millennia of conflict, all of the Pure Gold Sand Ores that can be harvested has already been taken away. All that's left behind are the impurities. You wouldn't be able to refine it even if you managed to scoop some out!” Richardson shook his head.

Seeing Yang Ling examine the Pure Gold Sand in his hands closely, then staring deeply at the raging red river, Richardson did not have to think too much to know what Yang Ling was thinking about. Basically, anyone who has come to the Red River Valley for the first time would have thought about something like that. Back then, even he had thought that way when he had come here for the first time. He had only managed to scoop up a small cl.u.s.ter of Pure Gold Sand after toiling the entire day, not to mention that they were all filled with impurities and could not be refined. He had no choice but to give up.

”That's right. Pure Gold Sand is extremely valuable in every large dimension. If there was still usable Pure Gold Sand in the Red River Valley, the area would have been packed full of people. How would we be able to stand here?” The black-robed elder Wilcox shook his head as he looked at the murky water.

He had been here with an elder from his tribe tens of thousands of years ago. Back then, he could still pick up a few Pure Gold Sand Ores on the beach of the Red River Valley from time to time. Unfortunately, the entire Red River Valley had been surrounded by the Angel Army of the City Amongst the Clouds, making it such that no one could enter. By the time the Great Twelve-winged Angels from the City Amongst the Clouds had left, there was nothing left on the beach.

”That's not right. If all of the Pure Gold Sand has been picked clean, why is the water still so murky and filled with this many tiny Pure Gold Sand fragments?” Yang Ling shook his head in confusion.

”The source of the red river is the Great Livingston Mountain. The mountain is covered in snow all year round, and the water that flowed down from it is extremely clear, but…” The black-robed elder Wilcox stroked his white beard, pausing for a moment before continuing, ”After the clear spring water gathers to form a spring and passes through the majestic Pure Gold Mountain, it would become this murky.”

”Then, is there any Pure Gold Sand Ores left in Pure Gold Mountain?” Yang Ling had a glimmer in his eyes.

”No, it has been gone for a long time. It's just that there is inferior Pure Gold Sand mixed in within the soil, which are then flushed down by the waters of the river!” Wilcox shook his head, making Yang Ling, who had just seen a shred of hope disappointed once again.

”There's no way we can make it to the Sunset Plains today. Forget it, let's rest here for the night!” Looking at the murky water, then seeing the mountain ranges on the other coast, Richardson decided to set up camp here, prepared to rest for the night, and recover their energy before rushing off the next day.

The Sunset Plains contained the only Wandering Castle within the radius of several hundred miles, and they would be safe when they entered the castle. However, the journey between the Red River Valley and the Sunset Plains was arduous. Not only were there Abyssal Demons along the way, but there were also several powerful Divine-level Magical Beasts. If they were careless, the group might be torn to shreds by a violent High-level Divine Magical Beast before they landed in the hands of the many Abyssal Demons.

”You can set up camp here first. I'll head upstream and have a look around the Pure Gold Mountain!” Rubbing on the hard Pure Gold Sand in his hands, Yang Ling felt indignant that he had to leave empty-handed. He led the Corpse Wizard King, Hydra, and the rest of the group in following the river upstream, prepared to have a closer inspection of the situation.

”Yang Ling, wait up, let's go together!” After looking at the God of Swords Gerald, the Chief Elven Priest ordered her clansmen to set up camp, then joined the God of Swords in following behind Yang Ling.

Yang Ling was extremely powerful. His offensive capabilities were far stronger than what they had imagined. However, he was completely clueless about the situation in the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. The Chief Elven Priest did not feel safe letting him roam around the area like that. She was worried that he, being young and impetuous, might find himself in mortal danger if he was careless.

”Brother Yang Ling, wait up, I'll lead the way!” After shaking his head, Richardson quickly followed Yang Ling and his group. However, rather than say that he was here to lead the way, he was more here in hopes of spending a little more time with the demoness.

Whoosh…

With Richardson leading the way, the group advanced following the riverbed, rushing toward the Pure Gold Mountain a thousand miles away with their fastest speed. After making a sharp turn, they soon disappeared from the wanderers' line of sight.

”Young men are all like that, refusing to give up until they see it personally for themselves!” The black-robed elder Wilcox was overcome with emotion, shaking his head before instructing the group that had been left behind to set up camp quickly.

He had also been young once. He had also been in the stage of life where he had been rash, or even impulsive. Back then, when he had first come here together with his clansmen, he had also rushed upstream of the red river overnight to the Pure Gold Mountain to take a look, being indignant. Along the way, he had almost become the snack of a bunch of Divine-level Ground Dwelling Dragons.

A thousand miles was not far for Yang Ling and the group. They successfully arrived at the Pure Gold Mountain in just under two hours. Along the way, they had also slaughtered a group of insolent Flying Leopards, successfully obtaining the Essence Crystals of several Level Surpassing Magical Beasts.
