Chapter 417: Mining Area of Death
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
”Dao Friend Mo, are we going back to Mining Area 6A?” Jia Qi immediately asked.
”We can’t go there anymore. Do you know any mining areas that have a large quantity of blackstone and are situated far away from the Half Immortal Domain?” Mo Wuji replied. Mining Area 6A might have been a good location, but it was too close to the Half Immortal Domain. He had offended Lord Axe, and was capable of digging up loads of blackstones, so it was simply too dangerous there.
Master Pu Zi, who was standing at the side, suddenly spoke, ”If there’s serious enmity between Lord Axe and you, then the only place you can go is the Mining Area of Death.”
Jia Qi’s expression immediately changed, and he shook his head, ”Master Pu Zi, going there almost means certain death.”
Yet Master Pu Zi did not speak, and only looked at Mo Wuji, waiting for his reply. In reality, he had better locations in mind, but he had to find out the extent of Mo Wuji’s courage and abilities. In terms of strength, he had some idea of Mo Wuji’s level, and he would not have lost out to Mo Wuji. However, for the battleship, just being strong was insufficient. If Mo Wuji did not have what it took to drive the battleship, he would eliminate Mo Wuji without hesitation, and take the battleship away. This thought never left his mind ever since the battleship came into the picture.
Mo Wuji’s gaze swept across Master Pu Zi. The killing intent that Master Pu Zi had been hiding had already been noticed by him long ago. As someone who was in the Extreme Mortal and Earth Stages, created his own meridian cultivation technique, and opened 106 meridians, he was extremely sensitive to everything in his surroundings, which included the killing intent of others.
Since Mo Wuji needed Master Pu Zi’s help, he would be allowed to live for now. Once the battleship was completed, if this guy still exuded killing intent towards him, then Mo Wuji would eliminate Master Pu Zi without hesitation.
”Oh, what’s the Mining Area of Death like? Are there many demonic beasts?” Mo Wuji asked calmly.
He similarly had some killing intent directed towards Master Pu Zi, and while he had concealed it rather carefully, Master Pu Zi could still feel its chilling aura after these questions left his mouth.
This gave Master Pu Zi the chills. He felt that Mo Wuji was not one to be angered, hence it would be better to keep his guard up against him.
After calming himself down, Master Pu Zi broke the silence with his low voice, ”If it’s just demonic beasts then it won’t be called the Mining Area of Death. Which cultivator in the Half Immortal Domain would actually be afraid of demonic beasts? The amount of blackstone in the Mining Area of Death will definitely be no less than that in Mining Area A. Even though it had been dug through many times before, when people take the risk there again, there’s still more to be found. The reason it’s called the Mining Area of Death is because the area is full of Colourless Leeches.
Those Colourless Leeches are extremely frightening. They are only half a finger long, and while the word ‘colourless’ is in its name, there’s actually spots all over its body. It is also difficult to detect with spiritual will, and exists in the void. Without any notice, it can dig into your skin, and you won’t even feel it. This type of Colourless Leech likes to consume acute wood energy the most. Once it enters a human body, it will feed on the blood marrow, then release acute wood energy, causing the person to be woodified from his blood to his spiritual channels. By the time you realise that one has entered your body, it is already too late.”
Jia Qi shuddered. The mere thought of the Colourless Leech was already enough to make people piss their pants.
However, Mo Wuji still maintained his calm disposition. His battleship was of paramount importance. Only with a mobile battleship, on top of his strength, would he be able to stand his ground in the Half Immortal Domain. Who knew when he would be able to leave this place?
”We’ll leave for the Mining Area of Death immediately. Master Pu Zi, you’ll steer the flying ship, and I’ll take a look at Dao Friend Lou’s condition.” As he finished speaking, Mo Wuji did not wait for Master Pu Zi’s reply, and he immediately went into the cabin. Since Master Pu Zi tagged along, he would have to cooperate.
As for the Mining Area of Death, Mo Wuji decided that he would make an assessment after he arrived there. From what Master Pu Zi had said, he knew that this location was extremely suitable to perform smithing works on his battleship. If his spiritual eye was still unable to see the Colourless Leeches, then he would change to a different location. While the battleship was important, his life was even more important.
Master Pu Zi nodded his head. He was very impressed with Mo Wuji’s way of handling the situation. If Mo Wuji did not even dare to go to the Mining Area of Death, then it would be unclear if he could really put the battleship to good use.
”Master Pu Zi, we’re really going to the Mining Area of Death?” Seeing Mo Wuji enter the cabin, Jia Qi continued asking worriedly.
”If we don’t go, I would be very disappointed. It seems like Dao Friend Mo is not an ordinary person.” Master Pu Zi replied with words of praise.
As for Mo Wuji going to take a look at Lou Chuanhe’s condition, he did not really care about it. If Mo Wuji were really able to save a person whose body and spirit channels were woodified, he would really be an immortal.
...
Inside the cabin, Mo Wuji could see that Lou Chuanhe’s woodification had progressed further. He held Lou Chuanhe’s wrist, and within a breath’s time, the acute wood energy in Lou Chuanhe’s body streamed out to Mo Wuji, drawn away by his detoxification meridian.
