64 Breaking the Barrier
Su Ming watched as it hiccuped, then carried it and sat on Da Bai.
Then, the man and the two beasts quickly came to the lake and started to replenish the water for Benben.
This Turtle jumped into the lake like a fish.
Then, a whirlpool slowly appeared in the middle of the lake.
!!
The water in it was being sucked into the Turtle’s stomach at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Once the Turtle was done with its water supply, Su Ming brought it and Da Bai back to the Magnetic Stone Mine.
This time, there were no more accidents. Under the valiant display of the Turtle, the barrier of the Magnetic Stone Mine was broken in a short time.
When he saw this, Su Ming raised his eyebrows in excitement. Then, he brought the Benben Turtle with him and walked into the Magnetic Stone Mine.
The man and the two beasts explored the place for a while, and a hint of surprise appeared on Su Ming’s face.
This Magnetic Stone Mine seemed to be much bigger than he had imagined.
Su Ming frowned slightly. He scanned the entire Magnetic Stone Mine before he slowly confirmed his suspicions.
The reason why he felt that the Magnetic Stone Mine was much larger than he had imagined was not because of the difference in parallel time and space.
This was because when he first saw this mine in his previous life, it had already been mined to a very high level.
And now, it had just been discovered, so it was naturally much bigger than what he remembered in his previous life.
As he thought about it, Su Ming walked around the mine and finally found a round and plump Magnetic Stone that was surrounded by a light purple glow in a corner.
The Magnetic Stone was still emitting faint spatial energy as if there was energy from another time and space constantly surging out from it.
Su Ming no longer hesitated. He brought out his mining tools and started mining the Space Magnetic Stones.
One by one, Space Magnetic Stones slowly appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations, you have received: Space Magnet Stone*1]
[Congratulations, you have obtained: Space Magnetic Stones*2]
[Congratulations, you received: …]
The Space Magnetic Stones were slowly extracted as Su Ming continued digging.
Before long, Su Ming had extracted all the Space Magnetic Stones in the area.
Su Ming looked at the empty ground before him and fell into deep thought.
There would definitely be more Space Magnets in the underground area.
However, it was clearly not realistic to mine it now.
The Turtle could break through the barrier through the water pillar, but it was impossible to dig out the Space Magnetic Stones from the ground with just the water pillar.
Su Ming glanced at the number of Space Magnetic Stones in his bag and nodded to himself.
With the current number of Space Magnetic Stones, it was definitely enough to build a teleportation formation.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to continue staying here.
As he thought about it, Su Ming looked around the mine again.
It was the same as in his previous life.
Other than the Space Magnetic Stones, there were only ordinary iron ores in the mine.
Even if he were to leave now, the others would probably only treat this iron mine as an ordinary one.
Therefore, he did not have to worry that the mine would be occupied by his tribe when he returned to inform them.
With that thought in mind, Su Ming rode on Da Bai and set off on his way back to the valley.
As he rode on Da Bai, Su Ming kept thinking about his plan.
Looking back, his operation this time was quite smooth.
There were no other people or monsters guarding the mine, and he had the big killer, the Turtle.
That was why the speed at which the mine was being mined was so fast that it had slightly exceeded Su Ming’s expectations.
When he first arrived, he thought that this operation would take at least a week or so.
But now, it only took him two days to complete his goal.
When he thought of this, a hint of a smile appeared at the corners of Su Ming’s lips. In a good mood, he pinched the Turtle with more strength.
“Yaya!”
The Turtle protested, but Su Ming did not care about its reaction. He continued trampling on the Turtle.
When it saw that its resistance was futile, the Turtle could only endure Su Ming’s ravaging without a sound.
When Su Ming returned to the area near the valley of the spirits, it was already close to sunset.
The moment the Elven guards in charge of the fortress in the valley saw Su Ming, they immediately rushed down excitedly.
“Great Prophet, you’re back?”
The other tribe members who saw Su Ming might not be as excited as he was, but they were also very happy when they saw him.
Su Ming patted his shoulder and smiled. “There hasn’t been any trouble in the tribe recently, right?”
The Elven guard quickly nodded.
“No, no! The Elf Valley has been peaceful recently, and we’ve started to investigate the surroundings as you said.”
Su Ming nodded and said, “Well done.”
The Elven guard scratched his head in embarrassment, but then he seemed to have thought of something and looked a little hesitant.
“If there’s something you want to say, just say it,” Su Ming said with a quirk of his eyebrows.
The Elven guard helplessly said, “It’s just that…Lady Xue, seems to be very dissatisfied with you.”
“What’s going on?”
“Ahem, she was the one who said that it was better to kill her than to let her do some cultural invasion to the Barbarians.”
Su Ming was momentarily stunned. He looked at the slightly strange expression on the Elven guard’s face and asked, “Where is she now?”
Upon hearing this, the Elven guard quickly pointed toward the inside of the Elf Valley.
“Lady Xue also returned to the tribe because it was strange. She’s probably going to find Commander Zelda now.”
When Su Ming heard that, he looked as if he had come to a realization. He quickly walked toward Zelda’s house.
…
“Commander Zelda, it’s not that I don’t want to do this mission, nor that I want to disobey the Prophet’s orders.”
“It’s mainly because those damn Barbarians are too difficult to communicate with, right? The way they speak, it’s as if we’re in a completely different world!”
Chen Yixue stood in front of Zelda and talked non-stop about the strange temper of the Barbarians. An angry expression would flash across her face from time to time.
Zelda listened to her complaints, but her expression remained calm.
When Chen Yixue finally vomited out all her grievances, she smiled and nodded.
“I understand your difficulties, Xue. It’s just that you’re the only one in the tribe who can complete this difficult task.
“The Great Prophet trusts you very much. This is what we all envy.”
Hearing this, Chen Yixue’s face flashed with suspicion. She could not help but look at Zelda’s face.
