“Oh God! Am I seeing things? This isn’t… This isn’t!” A person picked up the ore with trembling hands. The light emitted by the ore made the two of them widen their eyes!

“This is an ultimate ore!” Another person couldn’t help but exclaim softly. That’s right! It was absolutely true. This was indeed an ultimate ore!

“God, we got an ultimate ore! If we take it back, we can sell it for a very good price!” The other person was delighted. His mind was already imagining the scene of being able to wear gold and silver in the future!

“Sell it? You’re so easy to satisfy.” The other person held the ultimate ore tightly and looked at the ground nearby. “It’s not easy for ultimate ores to appear here. Nobody can abandon ultimate ores here!”

“You mean…!”

“That’s right! There must be ultimate mineral veins nearby!” The eyes of the person who spoke glittered, as if the area under his feet was filled with gold!

“But how can you be sure that there must be ultimate mineral veins here? After all… it’s just an ultimate ore.”

“If we don’t dig, how do you know there’s nothing here? Think about it. Which is more important, an ultimate mineral vein or an ultimate ore? If the ultimate ore we found is taken away by someone else, if they get the information here, and if someone else finds the ultimate mineral vein here, we’ll suffer a huge loss!”

“You’re right! Then let’s do as you say and dig down!”

The two men put away the ultimate ore and immediately started preparing to dig. Both of them had the same thought in their minds. If they could really dig out an ultimate mineral vein, they wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of their lives! Besides, their status would also increase greatly!

At the same time, Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi had already traveled a long distance underground. The Ultimate Crystal Beast was digging a path ahead. Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi followed it all the way. They didn’t have a fixed target or direction and could only let the Crystal Beast do whatever it wanted. Yun Feng still hadn’t felt the subtle fluctuation of the thunder element. Apparently, they hadn’t found the location yet.

The Crystal Beast was extremely happy. It had already discovered that this place was very different. There were mineral veins of all sizes here, all of which contained the auras it liked. The Crystal Beast had already dug out a lot of mineral veins along the way, including high-level mineral veins. Yun Feng followed behind and was also relieved to see how happy it was.

“These mineral veins are quite a lot of money. There are more mineral veins on the Crystal Plains than on the Shiny Plains,” said Qu Lanyi. “Unfortunately, Xiao Feng, you don’t need ores anymore, or these would be good stuff.”

Yun Feng smiled gently. “Who said I don’t need ores? If there are ultimate mineral veins, I certainly won’t let them go. The East and West Alliance still needs ultimate ores.”

Qu Lanyi chuckled. “We’ve been walking for so long, but there’s still no abnormal elemental energy fluctuation. It seems that we have to put in more effort to find the Lightning Seed. Do you still feel like we’re being followed?”

Yun Feng shook his head. “It didn’t appear again after we entered the ground, but we can’t rule out the possibility that someone is really following us.”

Qu Lanyi curled his lips. “If they really follow us, they’ll show up sooner or later. We don’t have to greet this person in a hurry.”

“You’re right,” said Yun Feng as she looked at the terrain underground. This was indeed a mountain range. It couldn’t be seen on the surface, but the underground world was completely different. The terrain varied. The traces of the mountain range intersected and many mineral veins were hidden deep inside. However, there was no weak fluctuation of any lightning element. They had to be more patient to find the lightning seed. They couldn’t get it overnight.

“Ah! There’s a hole here! It seems that someone has already beaten us to it!” The two men, who were digging mineral veins with their heads lowered, saw a huge hole in front of them after the ground was cut open. The two of them looked around. “This hole leads straight to the ground.”

“How is it? Should we follow them in?” The other one was a bit confused. “This hole seems to be too deep. If they’re digging mineral veins, they don’t have to go so deep, do they? Perhaps… it has another use?”

One of them frowned and the two of them just watched. This was indeed not a pit for digging mineral veins. Then, what was this pit for? What was it connected to? The more the two of them thought about it, the more confused they became. “I think we should go back. Even if we don’t find ultimate mineral veins, the ultimate ore is enough!”

The other person pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

Why are you still begging? It’s not good to be too greedy.”

The other frowned hard. He was truly unwilling to give up just like that!

“Listen up. They… mentioned an ultimate ore and ultimate mineral veins!” A cold voice sounded. The two of them immediately turned around and looked. A dozen figures had already approached them at some point and surrounded them!

“It’s… It’s you!” The two men’s voices immediately trembled a bit when they saw the dozen people. This was a very powerful group on the Crystal Plains. All the members were mercenaries who weren’t afraid of death. Not only were they powerful, but they had also used all kinds of means for mineral veins!

“Say what you said just then again!” Someone shouted. The two men trembled.

“We… didn’t say anything.”

“Tut-tut, there’s no way out if you lie. If you tell the truth, we might consider letting you live,” said the man in the lead as he glanced at the open pit. “Did you dig this?”

The two men immediately shook their heads. The man in the lead frowned and glanced over sharply. “What exactly are the ultimate ores and ultimate mineral veins you’re talking about? Tell me clearly! ” His words were attractive and there were infinite greed in the depths of his eyes.

“It’s just… a rumor. People like us can only try our luck.”

The man in the lead raised his brows. “What rumor? Why haven’t I heard of it?”

“What other rumors can there be? It’s that ultimate mineral veins have appeared here. We brothers know that we can’t get any mineral veins, so we came here to try our luck. Large organizations like yours, which have a few mineral veins in their hands, certainly don’t care about such gossip.”

“There are ultimate mineral veins here? Then… have you dug out ultimate ores?” The man in the lead stared at the two men firmly. The two men held their breath. “N-No…”

“Brother, they’re lying! They have ultimate ores on them!” One of them took out a detection device that was glittering. The two men immediately turned around and were about to run when they saw this. The man in the lead sneered. “No matter what, let them spit out the ultimate ores on them!”

“Yes, sir!” A few black shadows quickly went forward and grabbed the two men, pressing them to the ground. Wails and cries of pain came from time to time. The man in the lead only stood there with a cold smile and looked at the seemingly bottomless pit in front of him in confusion.

“Brother! We got the ore! I didn’t expect such a person to have an ultimate ore!” A few people walked over and presented the ultimate ore in their hands as if they were presenting a treasure. The man in the lead took it in satisfaction. The two men, who were injured, fell on the ground and looked at them unwillingly. It was the ultimate ore they found! They wouldn’t let someone take them away for nothing!

“Brother, this pit should lead to ultimate mineral veins, right?” Someone said, as if he couldn’t wait anymore.

The man in the lead didn’t say anything, but he was more or less tempted in his mind. “Brother! Why don’t we go in and take a look? If it’s really an ultimate mineral vein, we’ll make a fortune!”

“That’s right, brother! We can’t miss such an opportunity! We almost let these two take advantage of us!”

“Brother, let’s go in and take a look!”

Many people said. The man in the lead couldn’t sit still anymore. He stood up and said rather boldly, “Alright! Let’s go in and take a look!”

Among the dozen people, four or five of them were guarding outside, in case someone else came in and wanted to take advantage of them. The others followed the man in the lead in from the pit. The pit was very big, enough for one person to walk upright. The few of them couldn’t help but exclaim as they walked inside.

“Those two people shouldn’t have dug this pit. The digging technique is too exquisite. It almost considers the balance of all kinds of factors. This pit was also dug very cleverly. It’S extremely sturdy and can reacn sucn a deep level!”

“Brother! Look! There’s a mineral vein ahead!” Someone shouted in surprise. The man in the lead looked and as expected, there was a mineral vein not far away. It was just a mid-level mineral vein.

“It’s just the mid-level. If we go deeper, there will definitely be ultimate mineral veins!” The heart of the man in the lead was burning. He walked deeper even faster and his eyes became more and more scorching. The person next to him whispered as he walked, “Brother, if someone beat us to it…’

The man in the lead sneered. “Of course, we’ll do it the old way. Whoever stands in our way certainly can’t be kept alive!”

“Xiao Feng, we’ve already walked more than half of the Crystal Plains, but there’s still no fluctuation of lightning elements,” said Qu Lanyi. Yun Feng frowned. It was very likely because the route the Crystal Beast dug was too shallow and wasn’t deep enough.

“Come back.” Yun Feng called out as a little figure ran over excitedly. Yun Feng picked up its smooth body and patted its little head with her hand. “Stay away from these mineral veins and dig deeper. The deeper the better.”

The Crystal Beast blinked a few times and nodded aggrievedly. Its little body dug all the way deeper. The mineral veins attracted the Crystal Beast, so its digging route surrounded the mineral veins. How could it find the Lightning

Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi followed the Crystal Beast’s changed route all the way down. After moving for a long time, Yun Feng’s black eyes suddenly brightened. Qu Lanyi also curled his lips. “Xiao Feng, do you feel it?”

The corners of Yun Feng’s mouth curled up. “I felt it very clearly. Even if it breathes softly like a feather, I wouldn’t miss it.. It seems that we’re not far

from our goal!”
