173: Rat-infested area

Hearing Mao Qiu's words, Qingyang slowly nodded.

Compared to the Precious Crystal Spring Mine, Flowing Land's share seemed utterly insignificant.

So when Jin Hua went to Bei Guan City and took over the task for Five Ore Vein, the management rights for Flowing Land were directly given to other defenders.

While Jin Hua, Jin Sheng, Blood Dragon, and even Hong Zong and Bai Rou Rou went to the Precious Crystal Spring Mine to check the situation, Mao Qiu was also rapidly increasing his strength under Qingyang's saturated resource supply.

Mao Qiu's body was small, so if he needed to reshape his physical body, the corresponding amount of flesh and blood required would also be less.

But on this day, Mao Qiu looked at Qingyang and said, "Qing Yang, have you heard of the Rat Tide Calamity domain? This is a new innate divine ability I comprehended when I first advanced to the Fourteenth-Order,"

"Help me find two Treasure Seeking Bone Beasts, a male and a female pair. In half a year, just half a year, I am confident I can single-handedly mine the entire Precious Crystal Spring Mine."

Over at Five Ore Vein, Blood Dragon and the others had already sent back messages several times.

Among them, the most crucial piece of information was about the miners. Currently, Five Ore Vein had a total of fifty thousand miners, all of whom voluntarily chose to go there for resources.

Miners were highly sought after in any major city, as mining this stuff was extremely risky.

Hearing Mao Qiu's request, Qingyang immediately arranged for Blood Dragon to go to Flowing Land and capture a few Treasure Seeking Bone Beasts.

These ordinary Treasure Seeking Bone Beasts were like ants on Blue Star, found everywhere in Flowing Land.

There were a total of ten Treasure Seeking Bone Beasts. Since neither Blood Dragon nor even Qingyang knew how to distinguish between male and female rats, Mao Qiu finally said, "Good luck, there are four males and six females."

Having spent so much time with Mao Qiu on Blue Star, Qingyang didn't even need Mao Qiu to prompt him further. He immediately exchanged for a thousand catties of Tenth-Order Fierce Beast flesh and blood.

But refining these flesh and blood into blood energy had to be done by Humans.

In the end, Qingyang could only ask Jin Sheng to return and, at the fastest speed, begin refining blood energy for these ordinary Treasure Seeking Rats, allowing them all to possess flesh and blood.

To be honest, letting these Treasure Seeking Rats, whose strength was only Fifth or Sixth-Order, possess flesh and blood was a waste in everyone's eyes.

But Qingyang trusted Mao Qiu unconditionally.

At this moment, as ten silly Treasure Seeking Rats, each only palm-sized, with fluffy fur all over, either black, gray, or white, appeared inside Yunding Palace,

From Mao Qiu's bone body, which had already advanced to the Ninth-Order, streaks of soul fire rapidly shot towards the eyes of these ten silly Treasure Seeking Rats.

A moment later, Qingyang vaguely sensed that these Treasure Seeking Bone Beasts, under the coverage of Mao Qiu's soul fire energy, had formed some sort of connection with Mao Qiu.

Beside him, after finishing this, because his strength had not fully recovered, Mao Qiu's soul fire within his entire bone body spoke to Qingyang with extreme fatigue.

"Qing Yang, it's done. The Rat Tide Calamity domain, this innate divine ability, can increase their fertility by three times and their growth speed by two times. As long as there are enough resources, they can breed infinitely and grow infinitely,"

"But correspondingly, their combat power will be at least ten times weaker than those of the same order. Let's go to the Precious Crystal Spring Mine together now."

After hearing Mao Qiu's introduction to his Rat Tide Calamity domain, Qingyang couldn't help but say, "You're a born pig-raising saint body."

After personally taking Mao Qiu to the Precious Crystal Spring Mine, Qingyang also looked towards the continuous black mountain ahead immediately after meeting up with Blood Dragon and the others.

At the foot of the mountain, the miners going in and out looked extremely lively and orderly.

"Hong Zong, from today onwards, you will protect Mao Qiu closely. Coil the mane on your neck into a nest and let Mao Qiu live in it. From now on, all your resources will depend on Mao Qiu."

Not far away, Hong Zong bared his large teeth and said, "You are amazing, you are noble. I've actually become a bodyguard."

Treasure Seeking Rats on Blue Star typically gave birth to a litter of over ten pups per month, which would then mature in another month.

Now, with Mao Qiu's Rat Tide Calamity domain, these ten little things could give birth to a litter in ten days, with each litter having thirty pups.

Six female rats could give birth to one hundred and eighty in ten days, resulting in over five hundred in a month.

Afterwards, once those young rats matured, they would start breeding again, truly achieving a Rat Tide Calamity.

After thinking this, Qingyang immediately asked Jin Hua, "Who is in charge of the other four Precious Crystal Spring Mines?"

"The Vice City Lord, Lord Purple Light. What's wrong?" Jin Hua inquired.

Hearing that it was actually Vice City Lord Purple Light in charge, Qingyang thought for a moment and finally said, "You should be able to contact Lord Purple Light, right?"

"Go back now and tell Lord Purple Light that we can transfer these fifty thousand miners to other mining areas, but you need to discuss the transfer fee with Lord Purple Light."

Jin Hua was appointed as the manager of Mining Area Five, and these fifty thousand miners were now equivalent to Jin Hua's resources.

Miners were extremely scarce and were definitely sought-after assets for every Precious Crystal Spring Mine. Therefore, if these fifty thousand miners went to other mining areas, Qingyang absolutely had to get some benefits.

Regarding Qingyang's arrangement, Jin Hua didn't ask any questions. He immediately went into the city and contacted Purple Light.

In the Vice City Lord's Mansion.

"What? Fifty thousand miners, not a single one left? Are you planning to dig yourselves?" Purple Light said doubtfully.

Below, Jin Hua remained silent, waiting for Purple Light to continue.

From the Vice City Lord's seat, Purple Light observed Jin Hua for a long time, then suddenly let out a chuckle and said, "You guys are like a grandma getting into bed, you've really made me laugh,"

"My mining area, my miners, and now you're turning around and asking me for zhen crystal first to buy these miners."

Jin Hua continued to remain silent.

As for Purple Light, after some joking, he finally said, "Alright, alright. Fifty thousand miners, I'll buy them for five million zhen crystal. Have all fifty thousand miners go to Precious Crystal Spring Mine Number One,"

"You've just taken over Five Ore Vein, so I won't say much else. By the end of next month, you must submit the first batch of zhen crystal to me,"

"When I managed Five Ore Vein before, it could mine between eight hundred thousand and one million three hundred thousand zhen crystal per month. I'm setting you a task: one million per month. Now scram."

On the same day Jin Hua returned to Five Ore Vein, five million zhen crystal were directly sent over. Correspondingly, the fifty thousand miners, like a long dragon, quickly left the area.

Five million zhen crystal, Qingyang and the others didn't dare to use even one. They all handed them over to Mao Qiu.

Bone Beasts absorbed Bone Beast energy. Qingyang and Mao Qiu also continued to absorb Bone Beast energy in the following days to enhance their own strength.

As for those Treasure Seeking Rats, because they already possessed flesh and blood, they required zhen crystal to sustain themselves, whether for giving birth to pups or advancing their realm.

A month later, watching over five hundred adult Treasure Seeking Rats start exploding with litters again, Qingyang could already foresee the upcoming Rat Tide Calamity.
