30: Chapter 30: Are you planning to wipe out my entire Bai family?
γ You dug up seven Low-Grade Spirit Stones, experience points + 7. γ
Among the mountain rocks, seven Low-Grade Spirit Stones tumbled out with a clatter.
Zhao Yi had dug up quite a few Low-Grade Spirit Stones, but this was the first time he had dug up seven with a single swing of his hoe.
"Could it be that there is a Spirit Stone vein in this mine?"
Spirit Stone veins are hard to come by; every vein gathers a massive amount of Spirit Stones, and at the same time, Lesser Strange Demons might be sleeping and cultivating within them.
Zhao Yi swung his hoe, his vigilance rising sharply.
γ You dug up one Medium-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points + 100. γ
γ You dug up one Medium-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points + 100. γ
Sure enough, two swings of the hoe later, there were two more Medium-Grade Spirit Stones.
Zhao Yi felt not a shred of happiness; instead, his hair stood on end, and he had the feeling of being targeted by something.
"Should I keep digging or not?"
"System."
γ Miner: Zhao Yi γ
γ Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Mid-stage (Insufficient experience points, cannot upgrade) γ
γ experience points: 2441 / 2560 γ
γ Rewards: None γ
Looking at the System panel, he was still 129 experience points short.
Just two Medium-Grade Spirit Stones would be enough.
"Damn, I shouldn't be that unlucky, right?"
"Let's risk it."
Zhao Yi swallowed his saliva, took out two Speed Talismans, and stuck them to his legs.
He took out another two Diamond Talismans and stuck them to his chest and back.
That wasn't all; he took out a helmet-like Magical Artifact and put it on his head.
Everything was ready.
"Heaven bless me!"
Bang!
Zhao Yi raised his hoe and dug down.
γ You dug up one Medium-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points + 100. γ
The sense of crisis became heavier.
"Still missing a dozen or so experience points, one more Medium-Grade Spirit Stone."
Zhao Yi swung his hoe and dug down again.
γ You dug up one Medium-Grade Spirit Stone, experience points + 100. γ
"Damn, the experience points are finally enough."
Boom.
A great force slammed into Zhao Yi's chest, sending him flying dozens of meters.
"Lesser Strange Demons!"
"What the hell!?"
Zhao Yi looked at the dense shadows on the mine wall.
This wasn't a Spirit Stone vein at all; he had clearly dug into a nest of Lesser Strange Demons.
The Diamond Talisman on his chest had already turned to ash.
Zhao Yi couldn't bother to pick up those two Medium-Grade Spirit Stones.
He activated his Collapse Step and ran, adding the Speed Talismans, his speed was thirty percent faster than usual.
Even so, Zhao Yi could hear his own heartbeat.
Because there were too many Lesser Strange Demons behind him; it could be described as a demon tide.
They followed densely behind Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi did not doubt for a second that if he were even a little slower, he would be a pile of white bones now.
"Damn it, what are you doing?"
"Run quickly."
Zhao Yi was going crazy.
There had always been very few Cultivators coming to the second level of the mine to dig for Spirit Stones; what was the situation now?
Ahead, there were many shadows; clearly, quite a few Cultivators were gathered.
Seeing that he was almost at the exit, he would really be killed by these guys.
What made Zhao Yi even more bewildered happened: those Cultivators, upon hearing his voice, did not retreat but instead rushed in his direction.
"My god..."
Zhao Yi looked back at the roaring Lesser Strange Demons. Were these Cultivators blind?
So many Lesser Strange Demons, couldn't they see them?
The group of Cultivators coming toward Zhao Yi were the Bai Family Cultivators blocking the main mine tunnel. Zhao Yi had truly wronged them.
These Cultivators had never dug for Spirit Stones; where would they have seen Lesser Strange Demons?
The only one, the Death Cultivator Bai Chuanzhi, was still in a mine tunnel torturing a female Cultivator; there was no helping it, he just liked that sort of thing.
"That feels good."
Casually strangling the female Cultivator beneath him, Bai Chuanzhi stood up feeling refreshed.
"A Death Cultivator actually wanting to be a Bai Family wife, how naive."
Bai Chuanzhi spat, just like he had killed a chicken earlier, not taking human life seriously at all.
"Just now, was that voice Zhao Yi?"
"How come he came out after only three days?"
Bai Chuanzhi walked out of the branch mine tunnel and was dumbfounded.
What did he see?
In the distance, Zhao Yi was speeding along, followed by countless black shadows.
In front of him, many Bai Family Cultivators, holding weapons, grinning, were rushing headlong toward Zhao Yi.
Bai Chuanzhi's mind went blank; he wanted to shout but couldn't.
A few breaths later, he roared out.
"Come back quickly!"
"Those are Lesser Strange Demons!!!"
Bai Chuanzhi shouted these words until his heart and lungs were torn, but it was too late.
Zhao Yi and the demon tide were only a few dozen steps away.
In this short time, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Bai family had already fallen into the shadows and were quickly submerged.
"Ahhh!"
Bai Chuanzhi really didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.
Dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, this generation of the Bai family, had almost all been buried.
"Damn legs, run quickly."
Zhao Yi's figure swept past him. Seeing the overwhelming Lesser Strange Demons rushing toward him, Bai Chuanzhi was terrified, and his legs wouldn't listen to him.
"Ah!"
At the critical moment, Bai Chuanzhi slashed his own toe with a blade. The intense pain finally allowed him to regain control of his legs.
He turned and burst forth, and before the Lesser Strange Demons arrived, he escaped narrowly.
The mine exit was in sight. A figure suddenly darted past Zhao Yi.
"Damn, you scared me to death."
"Bai Chuanzhi?"
"Did he eat gunpowder? Running so fast?"
Turning his head, a Lesser Strange Demon was almost pressed against Zhao Yi's back. Zhao Yi could even see the black fur on its body clearly.
"Holy crap!"
Pouring all the Qi in his body into his legs, Zhao Yi exploded outward like a bomb.
At the exit of the second-level mine, Zhao Yi was panting.
The mine was densely packed with Lesser Strange Demons. They were fluttering inside the mine, chirping, but they dared not take a single step out of the mine.
Zhao Yi looked like he had been fished out of the water; he didn't know if it was from exhaustion or fear.
Not far away, Bai Chuanzhi, who had lost a toe, looked like he had lost his soul.
"Hehe~"
"They're all dead, they're all dead!"
Bai Chuanzhu, who was standing next to the Formation frame, had not yet reacted.
He looked at the Lesser Strange Demons inside the mine with a curious face.
"So these are Lesser Strange Demons?"
Then, as if he had reacted, his face turned pale in an instant.
"Lesser Strange Demons!"
Scrambling, he ran to the side of the Formation frame, took out a pestle, and smashed it onto the Formation frame without hesitation.
"Clang!"
A huge bell sound rang out, shaking Zhao Yi until he was dizzy.
Only then did Zhao Yi know that this Formation frame had such a function.
A moment later, three imposing Cultivators appeared at the mine entrance.
"Demon tide!"
"Damn it!"
"Weren't all the Lesser Strange Demon mothers in this second-level mine hunted down?"
"Why would there still be a demon tide?"
Looking at these Cultivators, Zhao Yi only felt his mouth dry.
These were Golden Core True Persons, Golden Core True Persons with a lifespan of eight hundred years.
Seeing the three Golden Core True Persons disappear into the mine, Zhao Yi slipped away quietly.
With a demon tide of this scale, the Cultivators in the second-level mine must have been wiped out.
He was too conspicuous at the entrance.
The most important thing was that his experience points were enough, and he could go back to make a Breakthrough to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
In the cultivation room.
Zhou Yan was not there, and Zhao Yi didn't overthink it; he just hung a closed-door cultivation sign outside and then started his closed-door cultivation.
In Maple Garden.
Bai Chuanfeng, Bai Chuanzhi, and Bai Chuanzhu were kneeling on the ground.
In the seat of honor, an old man had an ugly expression.
"What on earth is going on?"
"In just a few months, a whole batch of Qi Condensation Stage Cultivators have fallen, and today another thirty-seven Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators died."
"What are you trying to do?"
"Do you intend to wipe out the Bai Family?"
