319 Act in Prescribed Order, Eliminate (1/2)

Thunderous Battle had reached Baokang two days ago. During them, he teamed up with the people from Beautiful Robes Faction. They went to the herb areas, metal mines, and crystal mines in Shennongjia one after another. They also checked out the situation of each sect in Baokang County Two.

Once they investigated the situation, they learned that it was very complicated! All their plans of intimidating everyone and gaining their footing in a short amount of time disappeared without a trace.

All the regions with herbs at the borders of Shennongjia were chock full of Blood Sucking Grass, and they were very annoying. Blood Sucking Wood would also stand tall in the area to lead people to their deaths quietly. People got terrified from a single look at them. However, bloody fights occurred nonstop in those dangerous areas every day. As long as someone noticed a valuable herb, more than one hundred people would engage in a chaotic battle, and sometimes, there were even more people!

Thunderous Battle did not want to participate in such group battles that consumed a lot of energy. After all, as of then, he had not even thought of a name for his sect. There were also very few people in his sect. If they joined such a chaotic battles, they would not even know how they died.

The situation at the mining areas was not too great either.

The major factions had already decided on their territories!

Each sect occupied either one or a few mining halls. Thunderous Battle and the others might not have encountered any fights on their way, but as soon as they stood in an empty spot, they understood the meaning of being the target of scorn, and soon someone came to cause trouble for them.

The sects with slightly less power and influence could not get a spot at the metal mines. Those places were the heaven for the larger sects, and no one could enter them.

The situation around the crystal mines was slightly better!

Still, Thunderous Battle and the high-ranking members of Beautiful Robes Faction investigated it multiple times before they decided to make the crystal mine the spot where they would engage in their first fight to spread their fame and establish their might!

*****

”You're asking for death!”

When the players saw that their companion had been sent flying away by one slap, they flew into a rage. Without another word, they drew their weapons!

Even though Thunderous Battle had many people on his side, they looked young, and their sect emblem was unfamiliar. They did not belong to the sects that required them to be wary of them. The presence they had become used to adopting to chase away unwanted people filled them, and they activated their qi realms to attack Thunderous Battle.

'Truly, this is like someone stuffing a pillow under my head when I'm tired.'

Thunderous Battle had wondered how he was going to fight and establish his might, but the people before him had simply decided to come at him fearlessly! He didn't even have to do anything.

He did not bother to activate his qi realm. He just activated his body fortification technique and went up against the group boldly.

Little North cackled and rushed out from behind him. He sent his two zombies, which were covered in black siamese cloaks, charging forward. After being nourished for a period of time, their bodies were black and shiny, and they looked like they were made of metal.

Three people screamed in pain and were sent tumbling away once they were hit. There were purplish black claw marks on their chests!

Thunderous Battle and his group easily destroyed the six people. They moved into the chamber with the mechanism and placed the berthierite they bought from the market into the groove on the wall.

Bang!

The chamber with the mechanism shut down.

Then, the front door opened, and a crystalline glow shone on the everyone's faces.

”Wow!”

”Whoa… is this the real crystal mine?!”

The group stared at the mining cave that had completely crystallized in shock and let out gasps of astonishment.

The first level of the crystal mine had the players dig out crystals from normal stones and earth, while the second level was filled with normal crystals everywhere. They could extract any piece they liked, and they would definitely get a crystal. It was no wonder then that the drop rate for top-grade crystals was so high there. Some sects would even spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy berthierite to enter the second level and control the crystals in there.

”Who are you?!”

”Who let you in?!”

The activation of the mechanism in the chamber had shocked the people that were originally inside. The ten or so miners inside stopped working and turned around to glare and shout at them in anger.

The miners inside were all full-timer miners who focused solely on mining, so Thunderous Battle did not even bother to talk to them!

He cast a glance at the only thing that did not seem to fit into the mining cave—the ferocious and awe-inspiring Stone King. It chased after a Mystical Realm player who ran around in circles around the second level of the mining cave.

”Kill!” Thunderous Battle ordered resolutely.
