81: Chapter 81 Seizing the Spirit Mine: Strategic Resources for the Resurgence of Spiritual Energy!

spirit mine!?

What is that?

But since it's a system announcement, it must be a very important strategic resource.

Xu Xuan tapped the screen to take a look.

[spirit mine: An extremely important type of ore. Placing it within your territory can significantly increase Spiritual Qi levels. It is a vital material for advancing into the Age of Spells.]

[Your general has discovered a spirit mine. Collecting spirit mines can unlock brand-new functions for the Mobile City.]

Seeing this, Xu Xuan immediately realized the importance of this item.

He summoned Nvba's perspective.

On the virtual screen, Nvba was leading a group of Corpse Generals and Corpse Slaves toward the Orc camp.

In the original plan, Xu Xuan intended to use corpse poison to throw the Orcs into utter chaos.

But now, below Nvba, there was actually a field of crystal ores shimmering with an eerie blue light.

A large number of Orcs were mining these spirit mines!

Good heavens!

The Orcs hadn't shown up for so long because they were secretly mining!

The Orcs hadn't come all day because they were digging up these treasures in secret.

If these ores were taken by the Orcs, then what comes next might be...

At this thought, Xu Xuan immediately waved his hand: "Everyone, prepare for battle! Mobile City, advance toward the spirit mine! Generals, return to your posts! Servant Army, keep up!"

With Xu Xuan's command, this behemoth floating in the sky began to move toward the spirit mine.

The hundreds of thousands of Servant Army troops below didn't care about anything else and followed the Mobile City.

The massive Floating Island moved through the dark night, cold moonlight spilling over it as if placing a silver crown upon the island.

The Floating Island drifted forward, with the hundreds of thousands of Servant Army troops following grandly behind.

While advancing, Xu Xuan didn't stay idle either.

"Nvba, have the Corpse Slaves attack! You must not let the Orcs take those spirit mines away!"

From the images, those Orcs were using trailers to carry many eerie blue crystals. If the Orcs hauled them back, who knows what they would unlock?

The Orcs' behavior of quietly making a fortune gave Xu Xuan a cold sweat.

It was lucky he had taken the initiative to attack and let Nvba cause havoc under the cover of night.

Fortunately, the order he gave happened to coincide with the Orcs mining.

At this moment, the Corpse Slaves led by Nvba were riding atop Flying Eagles.

Flying at high speed, the wind not only disheveled Nvba's white hair but also made her robes flap loudly.

"Kill!"

With a word from Nvba, the Flying Eagles immediately dove from a height of several hundred meters. When they were ten meters from the ground, the Corpse Slaves jumped off their backs.

The Orcs who were mining and transporting heard the whistling of the Flying Eagles and thought they were their own people.

But looking at the descending Corpse Slaves, they were all Orcs controlled by corpse poison.

"Which unit are you from? This batch of spirit mines belongs to our Skull-Cracker Legion..."

Before the Orc officer could finish, a Corpse Slave roared and lunged, biting the Orc's thick neck and tearing away a large chunk of flesh.

A mouthful of flesh was ripped from the neck, and blood gushed out!

In an instant, the entire mine fell into chaos.

The Orcs discovered in horror that these things, which looked like Orcs on the outside, were all bloodthirsty monsters.

This group of things were just blood-sucking monsters wearing Orc skins!

Under Nvba's control, these Corpse Slaves howled as they lunged at the surrounding Orcs, cutting reins and destroying wheels to stop all the spirit mines.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"

The Orc officer raised a torch and finally saw the appearance of these attackers clearly.

Most Orcs had green or red skin, but these Orcs with glowing red eyes all had gray skin, just like... zombies!

That's right, zombies!

However, due to the limitations of the era, Nvba's current mana could only control 10 Corpse Generals and 100 Corpse Slaves.

But if she brought these spirit mines back, she should be able to unlock the shackles on her abilities.

Looking at these spirit mines, Nvba realized she had to take them all; she longed to break the chains of the era.

The attack on the spirit mine also alerted the nearby Orc army.

The Orcs had only sent cannon-fodder Goblins to attack Xu Xuan today because they had discovered this spirit mine in the afternoon.

They had been mining in secret, not daring to provoke Xu Xuan.

At the Orc base camp, Skull-Cracker suddenly stood up: "What? That human has already discovered we're mining spirit mines?"

"Immediately! Send out the elite troops at all costs to take back the spirit mine! I'm about to complete the Orc Totem, and this error has to happen now!"

Behind Skull-Cracker, an Orc Totem crafted from spirit mines stood in the center of the base camp.

It looked like it was only a tiny bit away—just a tiny bit more and this Orc Totem would be complete.

At that time!

Once the Orcs advanced from the Early Magic Era to the Spiritual Qi Recovery era, the surrounding human lords would have to pack up and flee overnight.

But history is always full of such coincidences; the Orc Totem, only one step away, was currently missing that final cart of spirit mines.

Furious, Skull-Cracker immediately mounted his War Eagle and led his troops to the spirit mine site.

The spirit mine was only two or three kilometers from his base camp. In the blink of an eye, Skull-Cracker arrived at the scene with his elite Orc regiment.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at those gray-skinned Orcs.

"Scourge Legion? zombie plague?"

At that moment, Skull-Cracker looked around suspiciously: "Could it be that the Scourge Legion has already joined the Battlefield of Myriad Races?"

But thinking that the totem was about to be completed and he could soon unlock the more powerful Beast Blood Art, Skull-Cracker raised his battle-axe: "At all costs, charge! To deal with those zombies, cut off their heads directly!"

With Skull-Cracker's roar, Orcs holding bucklers and shortswords, or wielding twin axes, jumped into the mine with howls.

These elites were clad in full iron armor. When the Corpse Slaves clashed with them, their claws scraped against the iron armor, creating sparks in the night.

The sound of claws scraping against steel gave everyone goosebumps.

An elite Skull-Cracker warrior split a Corpse Slave's head open with a single axe strike!

The weakness of the immortal Corpse Slaves was their heads. Even if they had bronze heads and iron bones, their skulls would shatter after taking a few hits from a Skull-Cracker battle-axe.

The Corpse Slaves retreated, but the Corpse Generals were relatively agile; these Corpse Generals were human females selected by Nvba.

They jumped directly onto the Orcs' backs and bit into their unarmored necks.

Wails and sounds of slaughter were constant.

Overall, however, Nvba's army of Corpse Slaves was steadily decreasing.

Skull-Cracker shouted: "Quick, haul away that ore cart! The totem is almost complete!"

Just as they were dragging the ore cart to leave, a graceful figure descended from the dark night.

Her white hair fluttered, and her green robes swayed in the wind. As Nvba landed, her ten fingers stabbed into the necks of two Orcs, killing the ones pulling the cart.

Skull-Cracker was drawn to Nvba's figure. He grinned, revealing a mouth of yellow teeth: "You skinny female monkey, you think you can stop me?"

Nvba slowly raised her head and said, "Look at what is behind you."

"What?"

Skull-Cracker looked back; on the horizon, a Floating City was slowly rising.
