The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 178
Chapter 178 Snatching Ore Veins (2)
Before Lei Xingfeng could arrive, there was already a fight over there.
Xin Zhaolun said, “Since we are fighting, let’s go together. Don’t let a single person off, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go!”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Feng, just watch.”
Song Qiao also said, “En, little fellow, just watch from the side and let your men go.”
Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly. He was directly despised by everyone and said, “Alright, Uncle Eagle, Uncle Tiger, go. Uncle Jin will accompany me.”
Sister Hong rushed over as well. She had to help now. Otherwise, who would get the harvest? Everyone knew this. A group of people rushed over. Only two people stayed behind. Eight against six people was enough. The most terrifying thing was that there was a Lord mixed in among the eight people. This was simply a trap that didn’t pay for their lives.
At the beginning of the battle, Yi Zhong and the others were still struggling. However, after Xin Zhaolun and the others joined in, they were immediately different. They were suppressing the six of them to fight. At this time, Song Qiao did not attack directly. Instead, he used an extremely strange method to stiffen the opponent’s body and slow his hands and feet. The result was that he was quickly killed by a few people.
There were countless dead people. Those people were so anxious that their eyes turned red. It was very difficult to escape. Seeing another Eight Ring Adept die, there were still two Nine Ring Adepts left. One Eight Ring Adept had only just come into contact with him for a short while. Three people had died.
Song Qiao kept shadowing his hands, quietly stopping one person after another, and then he was quickly killed by Xin Zhaolun and the others.
The remaining three knew that it wasn’t good, Fleeing as fast as he could, However, it was definitely too late to escape. In an instant, he killed two more people. Only Jiuhuan Daoist was left. There was a look of despair on that person’s face. According to their strength, even if they encountered a strong enemy, there shouldn’t be any problem escaping a few of them. He never expected that after a moment of hesitation, five people would be killed. He shouted, “I am … a member of the Helong Clan … I am …”
Song Qiao personally took action this time. He rushed over and said, “Die!”
With a loud explosion, the man looked at a big hole in his chest. He raised his head in disbelief and said, “Lord” He finally understood why his group of people had been defeated.
A group of people who were on par with him actually had a True Monarch mixed up in the middle. Originally, they thought that they could fight for a while, but in the end, they were all trapped to death. Not a single one of them escaped. The last Nine Ring True Monarch who died, he understood before he died, but it was too late. There was no news to spread.
Song Qiao said in a deep voice, “What did that guy say just now?”
Xin Zhaolun wasn’t stupid. He said, “What? I didn’t hear …”
Yi Zhong also said, “I didn’t hear it either.”
XinFeng thought to himself, “Is the Helong family very famous? Can a True Monarch be so scared?” “I was behind,” he said. “I didn’t hear anything.”
Song Qiao’s expression turned slightly better. He said, “Well, let’s hurry up and get as many copper crystals as possible.”
XinFeng was puzzled, “Where is the mine?” Looking at the pieces of ice on the ground.
Song Qiao smiled and said, “Didn’t you expect that there would actually be a mine in the ice?”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “How strange. Why is this ore in the ice?”
Song Qiao said, “Copper Crystal Mine, also known as Wind Mill Copper, is extremely light. It doesn’t sink to the bottom in water, but floats in the middle of the water. Perhaps ten million years ago, this place was filled with water, so copper crystal mine is not unusual in ice.”
This was an ice cliff. It was completely composed of ice. Layers of ice fractures could be clearly seen. The copper crystal mine was in one of the layers. It was about ten meters high from the ground. Fortunately, Lei Xingfeng could fly. Perhaps it was not proficient in flying, but if it stayed at the edge of the ice cliff, there would be no problem at all.
This layer of ice was not translucent. Instead, it was muddy gray-black. It was as if muddy water had suddenly been frozen. Therefore, the sections and colors of each layer on the ice cliff were different. It looked like dozens of ice ribbons of various colors that extended along the cliff to both sides. It was like a rainbow ribbon embedded on a steep ice wall.
XinFeng said, “I see.”
Song Qiao said, “Dig as soon as possible. Stay here for a few days at most, then we’ll leave!”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Well, I’ll stay here for five days. During these five days, I’ll try to rest as little as possible. I’ll dig as much as I can!”
Lei Xingfeng suddenly understood that this Sea Dragon Clan was definitely not to be provoked. They had killed six people from each other here, and this grudge was settled. The only way was to prevent the Helong Clan from finding out that they had done it. Only then would it be wise to leave immediately after obtaining the spoils of war.
Yi Zhong said, “Alright, let’s begin.”
A group of people immediately flew up, pounced on the gray-black layer of ice, and began to dig.
XinFeng wasn’t in a hurry. He observed carefully and soon noticed the difference. In a few places, a faint blue light appeared. He flew up. It was about ten meters away from the ground. The ice layer was between two meters and five meters thick. Judging from the fault zone, the ice layer was relatively thick.
This time, XinFeng directly used the Berserk Wheel. He tried not to be so violent, but to use the Berserk Wheel to clear the ice.
It was as if a tiny tornado had appeared in his palm. The moment it touched the ice, it immediately shattered the hard ice that was as hard as iron.
Lei Xingfeng was delighted. It was useful! Berserk Wheel was more effective than any other digging tool, and its power depended on its size. This made him overjoyed. He began to destroy the ice layer, and countless pieces of ice fell. Very quickly, he used Berserk Wheel to dig out a large ice hole.

This was a mine. There were at least a few hundred ores gathered here. Lei Xingfeng had dug them out with a ferocious wheel. He was only interested in this mine. The rest was left to Jin Daya to dig.
After that, Lei Xingfeng flew outside and observed again. This time, he saw two places emitting blue light. He said, “Uncle Eagle, you dig here, and Uncle Tiger dig that one. I’ll go find another place. After you guys finish digging, come and find me.”
XinFeng was mainly prospecting for ore. He now understood it thoroughly. His vision was different, different from anyone else’s. He could see the light of the ore deposit. As long as it was on the ore vein, he could find the most concentrated and best-grade ore according to the light. This was something no one else could do.
This mine belt stretched along the ice cliff to both ends. It was more than 2,000 meters long. Therefore, XinFeng took it along the mine. Once he discovered that blue light was emitting, he immediately drew out the location and had Jin Daya, Crazy Hawk, and Tiger Addict excavate it. These three people were his people, and the ore they dug out was also his.
Along the way, more and more copper crystals were dug up.
Jin Daya became more and more surprised, because as long as XinFeng pointed at the location, he would be able to dig out the ore gathered together, and the efficiency was extremely high.
During this time, Song Qiao took a look and was completely stunned. Even though he was Lord, the number of excavations wasn’t as large as Feng Ying and the others. He couldn’t find the ore pits, so he could only forcefully dig along the ore belt and destroy all the ice on the ore belt. There would always be copper crystals in the mess left behind. However, not only would the harvest be small, the efficiency of excavation would be extremely poor.
A day later, Xin Zhaolun and Sister Hong also joined XinFeng’s team. XinFeng didn’t need to dig anymore. As long as he gave him some pointers, the others would dig wildly. Their speed was enough to catch up with his speed.
As for Yi Zhong and the others, XinFeng and the others simply ignored them. Furthermore, the two groups of people were divided into two sides of the ore belt. They did not know how fast XinFeng was digging. Only Song Qiao started to be jealous. In the end, he reached an agreement with them that the ore would be abolished by 20%. XinFeng would point out the location and let him dig out the ore himself.
Song Qiao did not regret it. After digging out a few nests of ore, a smile appeared on his face. With his speed, as long as Lei Xingfeng pointed at the place, he could dig quickly. This efficiency was far higher than he had expected.
Five days was extremely fast. In these five days, no one slept. Even if they ate some dry food, they would not waste any time. In the later stages, XinFeng simply marked the ore belt. The others excavated crazily. In just five days, most of the ore pits were emptied.
Lei Xingfeng calculated that he had obtained almost 50,000 ores, an average of 10,000 a day. Of course, this was the work efficiency of the four of them.
The others’ harvests were also enormous, and Song Qiao was even more satisfied. In just five days, he had actually dug up 11,000 ores.
The ones who were saddened were Yi Zhong and the others. Of course, they didn’t care about it. The three of them had been busy for five days and hadn’t even dug up five hundred ores. How could they have a good harvest by digging blindly?
Seeing that the time was almost up, Song Qiao immediately led everyone to retreat. This time, he did not go to the Ice Cave Plains, but returned to Mystery Sect through Hanya Castle.
Lei Xingfeng returned to his room and fell asleep. The rest of them did the same. They didn’t sleep for five days and five nights in a row, and they kept working. Even if they were cultivators, they still felt that they couldn’t take it anymore.
Two days later, everyone got up one after another and began to cook and eat a full meal.
After eating, Song Qiao said, “Have you all rested?”
“No problem,” Xin Zhaolun said. “Rest well.”
Song Qiao glanced at Lei Xingfeng. He really liked this little fellow. He was actually able to accurately locate the ore. This kind of skill was too powerful. He said, “Since we have rested, let’s go to the Ice Cave Plains. There are more ore waiting for us to dig there.”
