Chapter 131: Go deep into the spiritual mine and reach the core
A dead silence fell in the mine. Lei Yi's sharp gaze, like a blade, pierced the trapped, mysterious treasure hunter.
"Tell me, who are you? If you don't, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Lei Yi emphasized his tone, the true energy in his hand fluctuating, ready to teach this stubborn guy a lesson at any time.
However, the mysterious treasure hunter only laughed bitterly, turned away, and said nothing. A glint of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he was ready to die.
"Do you really think I dare not kill you?" Lei Yi was furious and was about to take action when Dongfang Liuli grabbed his sleeve.
"Lei Yi, don't be impulsive. Trap him first and wait until we find the core of the spiritual mine," Dongfang Liuli said softly. She had twisted her ankle while trying to avoid falling rocks during the battle, and the pain was excruciating. But she was more worried about Lei Yi's safety.
Lei Yi took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and nodded. He pulled out a specially made immortal rope from his pocket and tied the mysterious treasure hunter firmly to the stone pillar. Then he turned to look at Dongfang Liuli.
"How are you? Are you seriously injured?" Lei Yi's eyes were full of concern, and he gently supported Dongfang Liuli.
"I'm fine, I just sprained my foot, it's nothing serious." Dongfang Liuli shook her head, enduring the pain and saying, "Let's go find the core of the spiritual mine first. If we delay too long, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble."
Lei Yi nodded. He knew Dongfang Liuli was right. They had already wasted too much time and needed to find the core of the spiritual ore as soon as possible, otherwise someone else would likely get there first.
"Guard Luo, protect Liuli. I'll be back soon." Lei Yi instructed Guard Luo who was standing beside him. Guard Luo was Dongfang Liuli's personal bodyguard, loyal and skilled in martial arts. With him protecting Dongfang Liuli, Lei Yi felt more at ease.
"Yes, Master!" Guard Luo accepted the order respectfully. If he hadn't risked his life to protect her, Dongfang Liuli would have perished. Thinking of this, his admiration for Lei Yi deepened.
Lei Yi no longer hesitated and turned to walk deeper into the mine. He took every step carefully, observing his surroundings carefully, fearing that he would trigger another trap.
Dongfang Liuli watched Lei Yi's retreating figure, her heart filled with worry. She knew that the closer they got to the core of the spiritual mine, the greater the danger. Lei Yi's journey was a near-death experience...
"Let's go too," Dongfang Liuli said to Guard Luo. She endured the pain in her ankle and limped behind Guard Luo, heading towards Lei Yi.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mine, the leader of the Golden Blade Village and his men were frantically chasing Lei Yi. They saw Lei Yi heading towards the core of the spiritual mine, their hearts burning with greed.
"Hurry! Don't let him get away! Whoever grabs the spirit mine core will be the greatest hero!" the Golden Blade Village leader roared at the top of his lungs, his eyes gleaming with greed. He knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if he could get the spirit mine core first, he could ascend to the throne and become the overlord of this continent!
The leader of the Golden Blade Village and his entourage galloped through the narrow mine tunnel, trampling over gravel and dust. The torches in their hands cast flickering light and shadows on the surrounding rock walls, illuminating greedy and ferocious faces.
"Hurry up! Anyone who dares to slack off will be thrown into the monster pile!" the leader of the Golden Blade Village roared in a hoarse voice, his fleshy face covered in sweat, whether from exhaustion or anxiety. The core of the spiritual mine was within reach, and he would not allow anyone to stand in his way of making a fortune!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mine, Captain Song and Master Murong were leading their respective forces towards the same goal. They were originally sworn enemies, but in the face of huge benefits, they chose to temporarily put aside their hatred and join forces to deal with other forces.
"Mr. Murong, how about we cooperate?" Captain Song said to Mr. Murong with a wry smile. As he spoke, he calmly reached for the sword at his waist.
"Captain Song, what do you mean..." Young Master Murong narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them. Although he had agreed to cooperate, it didn't mean he would completely trust Captain Song.
"How about we first join forces to kill the rabble in Jindao Village, and then each of us can rely on our own abilities?" Captain Song said in a low voice. He believed that Master Murong would definitely agree to his proposal because they had a common enemy.
"Okay!" Young Master Murong agreed without hesitation. Although he came from a prominent family, he was ruthless and would do anything to achieve his goals.
The two forces quickly merged, forming an even more powerful force that advanced towards the Golden Blade Village. A bloody storm was about to unfold in this ancient mine.
Lei Yi was unaware of all this. Concentrated on advancing toward the core area of the spiritual mine, he was oblivious to the fact that he had become the target of public attack. After walking through a long passage, his view suddenly opened up to a vast underground cavern. In the center of the cavern lay a shimmering crystal palace, radiating a dazzling light.
Lei Yi was delighted, knowing he was not far from the core of the spirit mine. He took a deep breath and was about to step forward when he suddenly sensed a dangerous aura...
"Wait," he suddenly stopped, his eyes darting around, and he shouted in a low voice, "Come out! You're hiding, what kind of hero are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several dark figures flashed past in the shadows surrounding the cave. Lei Yi was already prepared and quickly retreated, hiding behind a huge stone pillar.
"Roar!" A deafening roar echoed in the cave, and a huge blood-eyed monster rushed out from the darkness. Its scarlet eyes stared at Lei Yi, and its eyes were full of bloodthirsty murderous light.
"Damn it, how come this beast was alarmed!" Master Li, who was hiding in the dark, said in horror with a pale face.
"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, how can we be afraid of a beast?" The leader of the Golden Sword Village pretended to be calm, but his hand holding the hilt of the knife was shaking slightly. It was obvious that he was also afraid of this ferocious monster.
Lei Yi ignored the reactions of the Golden Blade Village leader and the others. He stared coldly at the Blood Eyed Demonic Beast, rapidly formulating a strategy. He knew that with his current strength, a head-on confrontation would be futile; he had to outsmart it.
He looked around and found that the ground of the cave was covered with pools of water of various sizes, which reflected the light of the crystal palace, making it look particularly strange.
"Master Li, what's going on with these pools of water?" Lei Yi asked calmly.
"These... these pools of water are formed by water gushing out of underground rivers. Some of the pools are very deep, and inside..." Master Li stopped talking here, with a look of horror on his face.
"And what's inside?" Lei Yi asked.
"And there might be... water ghosts in there!" Master Li's voice trembled, and he was obviously extremely afraid of the existence of water ghosts.
"Water ghost?" Lei Yi's heart moved, and a bold idea formed in his mind.
"Roar!" The blood-eyed monster roared again and pounced towards Lei Yi.
Lei Yi seized the opportunity, tiptoed, and flew across the pool as lightly as a swallow, heading towards the Crystal Palace.
"Want to escape? Not that easy!" Seeing this, the leader of the Golden Sword Village waved the big knife in his hand and chased after Lei Yi.
Seeing this, others followed suit. For a moment, the cave was filled with shouts and cries of killing.
The blood-eyed monster was chasing relentlessly, its huge body rampaging in the pool, splashing water all over the sky.
Lei Yi dodged the attacks of the Blood Eye Monster while running wildly towards the Crystal Palace. He discovered that the pool of water around the Crystal Palace seemed deeper than the pools elsewhere, and a layer of light mist hung over the surface of the water, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Now!" A gleam of light flashed in Lei Yi's eyes. He turned around suddenly and threw a stone in the direction of the blood-eyed monster.
The stone fell into the pool with a dull "plop" sound.
The blood-eyed monster was enraged. It roared and rushed towards the place where the stone fell into the water.
"Roar!"
Just as the blood-eyed monster was about to rush to the edge of the pool, the calm water surface suddenly exploded. A huge black shadow suddenly jumped out of the pool, opened its bloody mouth, and bit the blood-eyed monster's neck.
"Ah!" The blood-eyed monster let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, splashing water all over the sky.
Lei Yi didn't care about the life or death of the blood-eyed monster. He seized the opportunity, lightly tapped the water surface with his toes, and shot towards the crystal palace like an arrow.
"Hurry, don't let him run away!" Seeing this, the leader of Jindao Village shouted hurriedly.
Everyone also reacted and chased after Lei Yi. They all knew that whoever reached the Crystal Palace first would get the greatest benefit.
Lei Yi moved with incredible speed, arriving at the Crystal Palace's gates in the blink of an eye. He took a deep breath, reached out, and pushed open the heavy stone door. Dazzling light shone through the crack, illuminating Lei Yi's face. His eyes gleamed with determination. He knew the true test had only just begun... A dazzling aura washed over him, and the moment he stepped into the Crystal Palace, he felt as if he were immersed in a sea of stars. The core area of the spirit stone vein was surprisingly composed of countless tiny pieces of spirit stones, emitting a dreamy light that illuminated the entire palace.
"This is... the core of the spirit mine!" Lei Yi took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement. He quickly walked to the center of the palace, where a huge spirit stone emanated a soft glow, like a heart, providing energy to the entire spirit stone vein.
"Hahaha, we're finally here!" The rough voice of the leader of the Golden Sword Village sounded behind him. Lei Yi turned around and saw that the people of the Golden Sword Village had caught up with him. Leader Song and his men followed closely behind, with greed flashing in each of their eyes.
"Lei Yi, if you know what's good for you, hand over the spirit stones in the core area, and we can spare your life!" The leader of the Golden Sword Village said viciously, pointing the big knife in his hand at Lei Yi, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Lei Yi sneered and ignored the threat from the Golden Blade Village leader. He looked around and found some strange formations scattered throughout the Crystal Palace. These formations emitted powerful energy fluctuations, clearly designed to protect the core of the spiritual mine.
"Master Li, what's going on with these formations?" Lei Yi asked in a low voice. He knew that Master Li was very familiar with the spirit stone veins and might be able to find a way to crack them.
Master Li glanced tremblingly at the leader of the Golden Blade Village and whispered, "These are protective formations left over from ancient times. They are extremely powerful. If triggered, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? There are so many of us, how can we be afraid of a few formation-breaking spells?" Captain Song said disdainfully. A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand, "Come on! Whoever grabs the spirit stone first will be rewarded handsomely!"
Captain Song's men rushed forward and rushed towards Lei Yi and Master Li.
"Protect Young Master Lei!" Guard Luo shouted, drew out his sword, stood in front of Lei Yi, and fought with Captain Song's men.
"Looking for death!" The leader of the Golden Sword Village roared, waving his sword and rushing towards Lei Yi, with the sharp sword wind whistling.
Lei Yi dodged the attack from the leader of the Golden Sword Village, and at the same time, he slapped out with his palm, and the powerful palm force went straight to the chest of the leader of the Golden Sword Village.
The leader of the Golden Sword Village was startled and quickly raised his sword to block. However, there was a loud "clang" sound and the leader of the Golden Sword Village was knocked back several steps, with his palms numb.
"This kid is so powerful!" The leader of the Golden Sword Village was secretly shocked. He originally thought that Lei Yi was just a young boy with no strength, but he didn't expect that he could compete with him head-on.
Lei Yi ignored the shock of the Golden Blade Village Chief. While dodging the attacks of the Golden Blade Village Chief, Captain Song, and the others, he carefully observed the surrounding formations, trying to find a way to break them. He knew that he had to break the formation as quickly as possible, otherwise, if he was trapped, he would be unable to escape.
"Lei Yi, what are you waiting for? Do you want to give the spirit stone away to someone else?" At this moment, a cold voice sounded in Lei Yi's ears. Lei Yi's heart moved. He knew that Dongfang Liuli had come...
