Chapter 112: Chapter 106: The Secret of the Luoyun Mining Area (Two in One)_2

Looking at the eerie white skeletons on the ground, Qin Shou shook his head and sighed slightly.

Fighting is fighting, conflicts are conflicts, but peaceful coexistence is the most important.

"Sigh... A perfectly good Vajra Realm cultivator, why did you have to force me to take action?"

He carefully picked up the two Space Wristwatches from the skeleton’s wrist, waiting for the Space Gate to repair itself automatically so he could acquire two Second-level Mechas.

Adding to that, the Giant Stone Monsters that were killed along the way under his subtle guidance.

Heh heh, this time I really hit the jackpot.

...

Ten minutes later.

After dealing with the Giant Stone Monsters, Qin Shou activated the Reynard Transformation Card and continued exploring deeper into the mining area.

The further he went, the hotter the temperature became, and the frequency of encounters with Giant Stone Monsters increased. He also ran into more Monster Hunters.

Unexpectedly though, he didn’t encounter even a single person from Luoyun City’s Guard Team during this time.

With this lingering curiosity, Qin Shou ventured even deeper.

Who knows how much time passed, but the air grew increasingly hotter and drier, like a furnace. If the temperature rose any higher, Reynard’s body might start melting.

At that moment, his steps came to a sudden halt, and he noticed a faint red glow at the end of the mine.

There, Qin Shou vaguely spotted the Guard Team of Luoyun City.

Finally, traces of Luoyun City were found, which likely meant the mine’s secret was not far away.

Curious, he considered sending Reynard forward to investigate.

But the next moment, he dismissed this idea.

Among Luoyun City’s Guard Team, there were surely many Vajra Realm cultivators.

Reynard’s invisibility ability was easy to see through, and given Reynard’s physique, it wouldn’t survive this mission.

Qin Shou rubbed his chin thoughtfully, a contemplative expression on his face.

...

The massive underground mine was filled with Earth Core Energy Crystals that sparkled brightly with a radiant crimson glow.

Looking around, the Energy Crystals spread across the stone walls endlessly.

Thousands of guards secured all the entryways leading here.

The remaining guards, filled with excitement, replaced miners and kept harvesting the Earth Core Energy Crystals relentlessly.

In the center of the mine, the Earth Core Energy Crystals had already formed a mound as tall as a hill.

At the other end of the mine, boiling magma had pooled into a lake, its diameter stretching hundreds of meters.

And at the center of the lake, an irregularly shaped Magma Giant Beast thrashed and roared in anger and exhaustion, its howls filled with fatigue.

Dozens of Vajra Realm cultivators piloted Mechas and deployed Beast Cultivation, along with Beast Power Genes, launching continuous Energy Attacks at the Magma Giant Beast.

"Puff puff..."

The Magma Giant Beast was bombarded by energy, causing splashes of magma to scatter. Wherever the droplets landed, Giant Stone Monsters imbued with Energy Crystals emerged, scrambling frantically toward the mine’s exit.

Luoyun City’s Guard Team had long ceased trying to stop these Giant Stone Monsters.

The sheer number of Giant Stone Monsters was overwhelming, and attempting to contain their escape would come at a hefty cost for Luoyun City.

Now that Monster Hunters swarmed the mining area, they handled the aftermath for them while taking a share of the spoils—this deal was considered very profitable.

On the high steps of the mine, three elderly figures stood with their arms behind their backs, silently observing the scene.

These were the principals of the three major systems schools in Luoyun City.

"Principal Zhang, it’s been more than a full day now. When will this Magma Giant Beast finally run out of strength?"

Impatiently, the Breeding Beast System principal asked.

Zhang Chen’s expression was heavy. "It should be soon. It’s already very weak."

Meanwhile, the Beast Ability System principal gazed at the distant Magma Giant Beast, unable to contain the excitement in his eyes.

"The cloning ability of this Magma Giant Beast is truly mind-boggling. If its gene were synthesized into a Beast Power Gene, it would undoubtedly be one of the strongest Beast Power Genes there is!"

"What nonsense! Its gene would be much better utilized for cultivating monsters. Turning it into a Beast Power Gene would be a waste," the Breeding Beast System principal retorted.

"No, breeding beasts is ultimately just breeding beasts. Enhancing oneself is much more practical..."

"Heh, not practical at all..."

Seeing how they were starting to argue again, Zhang Chen waved his hand. "Enough, once this Magma Giant Beast is killed, we can extract at least ten gene samples. What are you arguing about?"

The two principals laughed sheepishly upon hearing this.

"Haha, apologies, got excited..."

The more powerful and rare the monster, the harder it was to extract its genes. Most genes couldn’t be replicated.

Managing to extract ten samples was already considered a good gain.

"By the way, Principal Zhang, are we really going to hand over the Earth Core Energy Mine to the Federation Main City?" the Beast Ability System principal asked reluctantly.

Zhang Chen nodded. "Yes, Luoyun City is just a small city; we can’t protect the Earth Core Energy Mine.

All we can do now is harvest as many Earth Core Energy Crystals as possible before the mine is exposed, and use the mine to secure a future for Luoyun City."

The Breeding Beast System principal agreed. "Indeed, we can’t do much about the mine, but we absolutely must obtain the genes of this Magma Giant Beast."

"Exactly. The cloning ability of this Magma Giant Beast is terrifying. With its gene, Luoyun City could rise and enter the ranks of the top five hundred cities within ten years."

As they spoke, a gleam appeared in their muddled eyes.

What they failed to notice was a patch of greenery concealed in the cracks of the stone walls at the top of the mine.

...

In the mine, Qin Shou listened to the information brought by Groot, his expression filled with excitement.

"Earth Core Energy Mine? How many Earth Core Energy Crystals must that have?"

A thousand?

Ten thousand?

Or perhaps...

Never mind, poverty limits imagination. Anyway, it must be a lot.

And then there’s that Magma Giant Beast capable of endlessly creating Giant Stone Monsters—that’s the real treasure!

Cloning...

That ability is just too overpowered.

Qin Shou clenched his fist in determination; he had to get his hands on that Magma Giant Beast!

But then, he sighed deeply, suddenly deflated.

Forget those three peak Vajra Realm cultivators; even just the thousands of guards from Luoyun City alone—if each of them spat at him, he’d drown!

Groot was a wood attribute beast; even the brief spying earlier had left it extremely uncomfortable, so approaching the Magma Giant Beast was out of the question.

Qin Shou shook his head and sighed, "Sigh... To think that even my brilliant mind would be stumped by this."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

Maybe there’s a way...

Qin Shou grinned slyly.

...

West City Office.

Yu Shusheng sat at his desk, handling administrative matters.

"Beep beep..."

Suddenly, the communicator beeped with an incoming message. Yu Shusheng glanced at the message but quickly lost interest. freёnovelkiss.com

"This brat thinks I don’t already know about the Energy Crystals inside the Giant Stone Monsters? Does he think he’s reporting some groundbreaking discovery?"

Yu Shusheng checked the time, paused his tasks, and opened the communicator.

"Xiao Fang, how’s the investigation into the Luoyun City mining area going?"

"Sorry, Principal. The Giant Stone Monsters in the mine are too numerous, and we simply can’t get near the deeper sections."

Yu Shusheng frowned. "Even with ten Vajra Realm Five-stars, you still couldn’t get closer?"

"That’s right, Principal. These Giant Stone Monsters are endless, and Luoyun City’s people keep interfering with us, so..."

"Alright, since..."

Before Yu Shusheng could finish, another message popped up on the communicator.

[Shame of Beast Breeding: Principal, I discovered the true secret of Luoyun City’s mining area. Return quickly.]

"Hmm? Is this brat trying to trick me?"

Yu Shusheng frowned. Could this kid really uncover something that even Vajra Realm Five-stars couldn’t?

Could it be due to his invisible beast?

That doesn’t seem right either; invisible beasts are easily detected by scanners.

Thinking this through, Yu Shusheng casually closed the video call and connected to Qin Shou’s feed.

In the video, Qin Shou’s dust-covered face suddenly appeared in the frame, startling Yu Shusheng.

"You little rascal... Cough cough, Qin Shou, what happened to you?" Yu Shusheng forced a laugh.

"Principal, I was chased by Giant Stone Monsters all the way here and accidentally uncovered the mine’s secret," Qin Shou said excitedly.

"Oh? Let me hear it," Yu Shusheng replied indifferently.

"It’s an Earth Core Energy Mine! With countless Earth Core Energy Crystals!"

"What? An Earth Core Energy Mine?"

This time, Yu Shusheng couldn’t keep his composure.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Of course, Principal! Just don’t tell anyone it was me who gave you this intel; otherwise, those old geezers from Luoyun City will kill me.

Oh no, the Giant Stone Monsters are chasing me again..."

The video shook violently and abruptly ended.

Yu Shusheng mulled over the authenticity of Qin Shou’s claim, his face filled with deep thought.
