482: Chapter 482 Forced to mine? They're courting death!

"Forget it, you two go, throw him into the divine mine squad for me!"

Seeing Cao Yang looking at them with a calm expression, the captain of the black-armored squad was enraged.

A mere brat was actually not afraid upon seeing them; how preposterous! If it were anyone else seeing them, these divine patrol guards, they would have long been scared out of their wits and rolled away far off.

Seeing the two black-armored guards walking towards him holding two divine chains, Cao Yang revealed a strange smile.

The next moment, all twenty people, including the captain of the black-armored patrol guards, fell to the ground and died instantly.

Even that squad leader, who was in the Hongmeng Divine Thunder Realm, hadn't reacted at all before inexplicably falling down and dying.

Cao Yang waved his hand casually, and the mysterious items flew out from the twenty corpses, landing in his hands.

"Are these fragments of hongmeng divine crystal?"

Cao Yang looked at the eighty-five small black fragments floating in his hand, which were quite conspicuous, and revealed a look of delight.

"System Loli, come out and introduce the classifications of hongmeng divine crystal!" Cao Yang thought to himself.

Shortly after, the figure of the System Loli appeared beside Cao Yang. By this time, she had solidified a bit more, though only Cao Yang could see her.

"Congratulations Master on obtaining impure Divine Stone fragments!"

The System Loli glanced at those small black pieces and also revealed a look of joy.

"Hmm, continue. What is the connection between these Divine Stone fragments and the hongmeng divine crystal obtained from sign-in?"

Actually, he had already guessed it, but just wanted to confirm with the System. Besides, the System hadn't answered his initial question yet.

"Master, hongmeng divine crystal is the purest, higher-Rank form of Divine Stone. As for the Divine Stone fragments in Master's hand, they should have just been dug out of the divine mine not long ago. In fact, they cannot even be considered Divine Stone fragments; they can only be called fragments of a Grandmist Divine Stone mineral vein."

Hearing the System Loli's explanation, Cao Yang nodded and let her continue.

"Since Master wants to know the Rank classification of hongmeng divine crystal and Divine Stone, I will briefly introduce it. Both have Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and top-grade distinctions. However, these Ranks are distinguished by their purity. A Grandmist divine mine is naturally full of impurities and contains various minerals. Only after the Grandmist divine mine is mined and goes through a specialized purification process can it become various Divine Stones and hongmeng divine crystals!" The System Loli crossed her legs and explained with an arrogant expression.

"Hmm, then what Rank are the one thousand hongmeng divine crystals I obtained from sign-in before?" Cao Yang nodded. These were the same as before. The reason he was confirming with the System again was because, besides the Hongmeng Divine Power contained within these small black pieces in front of him, there were many mysterious substances he didn't recognize, and quite a variety of them, which was why he was confirming with the System.

"Master, rest assured. With Master's Hongmeng Divine Heart Tribulation Realm, the hongmeng divine crystal obtained from sign-in is naturally top-grade without a doubt!" the System Loli said.

"Hmm, there might be a Grandmist Divine Stone mineral vein nearby. Let's go take a look!"

Cao Yang said, heading towards Grandmist City.

As for the squad's corpses, they turned into points of light and disappeared as Cao Yang left.

While walking, Cao Yang diverted a wisp of his consciousness to enter the Heavenly Emperor Hall, handing over the resources he had just scavenged from the twenty black-armored patrol guards to the women.

Since he wasn't going to Cultivate with them anyway, keeping them would be a waste. As for whether the women would use the resources to Cultivate, that was up to them.

Those scavenged resources were still very useful to the women; after all, the lowest cultivation base among that black-armored patrol squad was the Late Stage of the Chaos Emperor Realm!

"This Grandmist City is truly unique; to think it would be in this state!" Cao Yang felt very strange. Apart from a few shops, almost everyone else in the city was a mining slave, and they were mining slaves with their hands and feet shackled by divine chains.

One divine chain bound dozens of mining slaves, and the same type of black-armored guards from before were constantly whipping the mining slaves shackled by the divine chains.

"So that's how it is. These shops are almost all engaged in the trade of living beings!"

To be precise, it should be selling!

Selling living beings to those black-armored guards!
