Chapter 760 - 760: Deep Into the Earth Spirit Mine  

Lu Benwei sighed with a hint of complaint. Ji Han became nervous.

“Isn’t it a little selfish of me to do this?”

She raised her head and looked at Lu Benwei with her black gem-like eyes.

Lu Benwei suddenly curled his lips and reached out to touch her head. “Didn’t I say that we’re friends? I’ll come back to see you guys when things are settled.”

“Oh. ”

Ji Han nodded and lowered her eyes.

“And my name isn’t Lu Hongyi. It’s Lu Benwei.”

He had always been using the fake name, Lu Hongyi. Now, Lu Benwei felt that there was no need to conceal his real name anymore.

“Lu Benwei,” Ji Han said slowly.

“Do you have someone you like?” then, she suddenly asked.

“Yes!” Lu Benwei answered without hesitation.

Ji Han lowered her eyes, feeling an unspeakable sadness in her heart.

“Is she pretty?” Ji Han asked after a long time.

“Beautiful,” Lu Benwei replied without hesitation. A figure appeared in his mind.

On that evening in early summer. The girl walked on the curb with cat-like steps. The night breeze blew the girl’s body fragrance and enveloped the boy.

The girl reached out her hand and naturally placed it on the boy’s hand. The boy also reached out his hand and carefully supported her.

The memory fragments swept across like a tide. Sometimes, it would rain in the afternoon. Lu Benwei held an umbrella, the girl was wearing a raincoat, stepping on the puddles. The water droplets were like elves dancing around the girl’s white feet.

Sometimes, it was an afternoon. The boy was playing basketball alone on the field, and the girl was sitting quietly on the bench with a cup of coke in her hand, watching him sweat on the court.

It was a wonderful time. Lu Benwei and the girl accidentally returned to their youth.

Ji Han’s words interrupted Lu Benwei’s memories.

She said, “I know. Let’s go back.”

Ji Han stood up, dusted off her butt, and walked ahead alone. Lu Benwei followed her and returned to everyone’s side.

Ji Han walked to Empress Ji Wuyue naturally and held her arm. She did not say anything, but sometimes, a simple action was worth a thousand words.

Lu Benwei and the others tactfully left, leaving the mother and daughter alone.

The next morning, the setting sun shone on the ground.

Lu Benwei and Empress Ji Wuyue joined hands and entered the mine.

There was a passage into the divine land mineral mine that was just big enough for the old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan and the Six-tailed Crocodile to pass through.

“I was the one who opened up this passage!” The crocodile laughed bitterly.

The spiritual energy covered the sky and earth, rolling toward everyone like a raging sea.

“So rich!”

Some of the spiritual energy condensed into liquid and overflowed from the black stone layer.

The old chief of the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan laughed heartily when he saw this. “Haha, the spiritual energy here has turned into liquid. This is incredible!”

As he spoke, he took out a bottle and collected the overflowing spiritual liquid.

The crocodile pursed his lips. “Useless. There are even ores formed from spiritual energy inside!”

In the past few days, the crocodile and the old chief had many conflicts. The two of them were both single-minded and could not tolerate a single grain of sand in their eyes. They were not convinced by each other.

“Stop arguing. Crocodile, continue to open the way,” Lu Benwei ordered.

The Six-tailed Crocodile did not dare to disobey Lu Benwei.

Soon, they arrived at a mine cave. As the crocodile had said, the spiritual energy inside was extremely dense and condensed into a solid form, which was ore. At this moment, these ores were emitting a faint white light and breathing spiritual energy.

Even Empress Ji Wuyue and Lu Benwei, who were both experienced and knowledgeable people, changed their expressions.

There were simply too many of them, enough for a dozen people to jump from level 80 to level 90.

This was only the first mine. Moreover, most of the mine had been devoured by the crocodile.

According to the Six-tailed Crocodile, there were at least eight or nine mines of the same size here.

There was a mine cave sealed by a magic array. The crocodile said, “That formation looked extraordinary. I was worried that there was a terrifying existence sealed inside, so I didn’t act rashly.” Lu Benwei nodded. “Crocodile’s idea is right. The spirit ore here is beyond our imagination. The seal of the array must be something extraordinary. How about this, we leave that mine and mine the others!”

Everyone agreed and began to sweep the area.

The spirit ores with extremely dense spirit qi were taken by them like wheat being harvested.

Suddenly, Ji Han screamed. Then, she fell backward onto the ground with a thud.

“Ji Han!”

Ji Wuyue was the first to move. She waved her sleeves and shielded Ji Han behind her.

Lu Benwei also went up. He did not think it was strange to encounter anything in such a strange place. However, the scene before him made him feel incredulous.

A corpse! To be more precise, it was the corpse of a miner! He was wearing modern mining equipment and was embedded in the wall of the mine.

Ji Han had just removed a thigh-sized ore, and the corpse had just seen the sunlight again.

“Are these people from your hometown?” everyone asked Lu Benwei.

“Probably not.” Lu Benwei shook his head.

Although this miner was wearing modern mining equipment, from the looks of it, the technological level seemed to be above that of the Dragon Kingdom.

The drills in the equipment were a special alloy. Only the best equipment in the Dragon Kingdom could be made. They were used to make top-notch weapons.

Even the direct descendants of the eight great families rarely had the chance to use it. It was impossible to apply it to drills on a large scale!

Moreover, the Southern Desert Continent had existed for three thousand years. Other than them, no one else had ever been here, let alone mining.

“There should be others. Let’s look for them,” Lu Benwei said.

Everyone responded and immediately increased the speed of mining.

As Lu Benwei said, they found a few more corpses on the wall. Without exception, they were all wearing the same uniform and modern mining equipment.

“From the looks of it, their deaths are natural. Even their posture is working.” Liu Qinghe, the leader of the Quicksand Kingsnake Clan, noticed something.

However, what happened here a thousand years ago? Everyone was puzzled.

Lu Benwei’s heart started beating faster. At his level of strength, it was not a good sign.

“Make way,” Lu Benwei took a deep breath and suddenly said..
