107: Large, Obsidian Vein

Mo Yan stood with his sword sheathed and stepped forward to check the spoils.

“Elite monsters really do drop better things than ordinary Strange Beast,” Mo Yan said, waving his hand to put all the beetle corpses into his Talent Space.

Bai Lingyue walked up to Mo Yan and praised, “Your Excellency’s skill is truly becoming more refined. That footwork just now was quite profound.”

Mo Yan smiled faintly, his gaze returning to the area where the Yan Meridian Viness grew.

“These Yan Meridian Viness seem to be just a facade,” Mo Yan said thoughtfully.

Bai Lingyue’s eyes flickered, “Your Excellency means… there’s something else underneath?”

“Mm.” Mo Yan nodded, “There’s a stronger energy fluctuation below, much denser than these Yan Meridian Viness themselves.”

“You few, pick all these Yan Meridian Viness and flame meridian fruits, then dig open the scorched earth in this area and see,” Mo Yan instructed a few Soldiers.

“Yes, Your Excellency!”

The Soldiers responded and stepped forward, carefully picking and digging.

The Yan Meridian Viness were exceptionally tough, difficult to cut with ordinary weapons. Fortunately, the Soldiers’ weapons were all reinforced, and soon all the Yan Meridian Viness and flame meridian fruits were collected.

After Mo Yan put these items into his space, he did not light up the illustration. This was also within his expectations.

According to his previous experience, to light up an illustration, the quantity needed to be at least over five hundred.

And these Yan Meridian Viness and flame meridian fruits, combined, were less than a hundred units, still a long way off.

“If I see more on the way, I’ll collect them.”

The scorched earth in the Volcanic Region was exceptionally hard, mixed with many volcanic rock fragments.

The Soldiers took turns, and the digging progress was not fast.

“Clang!”

A sound of metal striking a hard object came.

“Your Excellency, we’ve dug up something hard!” a Soldier shouted in surprise.

Mo Yan and Bai Lingyue quickly stepped forward.

Beneath the dug-up scorched earth, a layer of crystal appeared, as black as ink and shimmering with a dark luster.

That crystal layer was enormous; the mere tip of the iceberg that was exposed was several meters in area, and it extended deep underground, with no end in sight.

Bai Lingyue picked up a piece and examined it, “This is… an obsidian vein?”

She recognized this Ore; obsidian itself was a good fire-attribute Material, commonly used for forging weapons and setting up certain specific Formations.

But such a massive obsidian vein with such pure energy, she had never seen before.

Mo Yan’s face showed a satisfied smile, and Value Insight was instantly activated.

Name: obsidian vein (Large)

Quality: Rare

Description: A precious Ore vein formed under special geological conditions in volcanic areas, containing pure fire elements and a small amount of earth element essence.

It is an important Material for forging Advanced fire-attribute equipment, constructing special buildings, and setting up large-scale fire-type Formations.

Its core area may be accompanied by higher quality obsidian Heart.

Overall Value: Extremely High

Mo Yan praised, “A large Ore vein, but unfortunately only Rare quality. To hatch an Ember Feather Immortal Phoenix, it needs to be Epic quality or above.”

“Everyone, mine a thousand pieces, then rest in place!”

“Yes!”

The Soldiers heard this and became even more motivated.

obsidian was hard in texture but not difficult to mine.

Pieces of obsidian, fist-sized, completely black, and shimmering with a restrained luster, were mined and piled aside.

Seeing that the Soldiers would still need some time to mine, Mo Yan did not idle. He simply sat down cross-legged.

He took advantage of this free time to handle some Alliance technology.

He quickly found the Elementary Construction Speed II, which he currently needed most.

Research Requirements: Gold 0/700, wood 0/2200, Stone 0/2200

Research Time: 12 hours

Effect: Alliance-wide member territory building construction speed increased by 2%

He directly chose to donate the full amount.

【Prompt: You have donated 700 Gold, 2200 units of wood, and 2200 units of Stone for Alliance Technology, Elementary Construction Speed II, gaining 79 personal points.】

【Prompt: Alliance Technology, Elementary Construction Speed II, research has begun. Remaining time: 12 hours.】

He then clicked on the 【Alliance Missions】 interface.

The top few missions were still resource donation types.

☆☆【Concerted Effort · Gold】: Alliance members jointly donate 1000 units of Gold to the Alliance Warehouse.

Reward: Alliance Experience +50, Personal Points +5 (for every 100 units of Gold donated).

Status: In Progress (0/1000)

Mo Yan didn’t even think and directly allocated 1000 Gold from his reserves.

【Prompt: You have donated Gold x1000 to the Alliance Warehouse.】

【Prompt: Alliance Mission 【Concerted Effort · Gold】 has been completed! Alliance Experience +500, you gained Personal Points +50.】

A small mission was easily completed.

He looked at the next one.

☆☆☆【Concerted Effort · Primeval Stone】: Alliance members jointly donate 100 units of Primeval Stone to the Alliance Warehouse.

Reward: Alliance Experience +100, Personal Points +10 (for every 1 unit of Primeval Stone donated).

Status: In Progress (0/100)

“Primeval Stone mission, the reward is quite good.”

His territory could now produce 5 Primeval Stones every day, plus automatic production, so his inventory was still quite abundant.

He chose to donate again.

【Prompt: You have donated Primeval Stone x100 to the Alliance Warehouse.】

【Prompt: Alliance Mission 【Concerted Effort · Primeval Stone】 has been completed! Alliance Experience +1000, you gained Personal Points +1000.】

With two missions completed, Alliance Experience and Personal Points increased again.

Just then, the Alliance Channel icon suddenly flashed frantically.

Mo Yan opened the Alliance Channel.

As soon as he opened it, the screen was filled with messages from the same person.

Xie Yufeng: “Alliance Leader, Alliance Leader, are you there?”

Xie Yufeng: “Alliance Leader Mo Yan, help, it’s urgent!”

Xie Yufeng: “Alliance Leader, please reply if you see this! Urgent, urgent, urgent!”

Scrolling up through the message history, this kid had been spamming since about 8 AM, persistently.

Mo Yan was a bit speechless; Xie Yufeng was still the same, always making a fuss.

He slowly replied.

Mo Yan: “Don’t call me Alliance Leader, call me Alliance Leader. Speak, what is it this time?”

As soon as the message was sent, Xie Yufeng replied almost instantly.

Xie Yufeng: “Alliance Leader, you’re finally here! [Crying and weeping emoji.PNG]”

Mo Yan: “…”

This kid was getting more and more abnormal.
