Mining, Visitors
"Brother Xuan, this should be the Demonic Whale Sea Area."
After three days of sailing, Lin Xuan and his two companions finally entered a vast sea area.
Unlike what we had seen along the way, this sea area exuded a deep-seated stillness, with even the seawater tinged with a faint gray. Looking down, it was as if we were staring into a bottomless abyss, with not a single ray of light in sight.
Dugu Yan consulted the nautical chart and surveyed the surrounding hydrographic features before stating with certainty.
"Well, we've finally arrived."
Lin Xuan stretched and sat up from Zhu Zhuqing's lap pillow.
As he finished speaking, the hurricane that had been propelling the Blue Silver Speedboat at high speed slowly dissipated as if it had received a command.
The speeding boat suddenly slowed down, leaving a trail of water several miles long on the sea surface before coming to a steady stop.
"That Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is truly a scourge."
Lin Xuan frowned slightly. As Child of Nature, he was particularly sensitive to the deathly stillness of this sea area.
"The life in this entire sea area has been completely wiped out."
Other seas, though rife with the struggle of the strong preying on the weak, always exude a vibrant vitality.
But here, there was nothing but deathly silence; even the sound of the wind rustling across the sea had a dull quality to it.
"Brother Xuan, shall we... wait for you here?"
Dugu Yan turned to look at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of eagerness and apprehension about the deep sea.
"Need not."
Lin Xuan waved his hand, his tone relaxed.
"In the past, the high pressure at a depth of 5,000 meters would have been difficult to protect you, but now it's nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, with a slight thought, the previously stable Blue Silver Speedboat seemed to come alive.
Countless vines danced, intertwined, and rearranged rapidly, with leaves layered upon each other and roots tightly interlocked. In a short while, a sleek Blue Silver Submarine replaced the speedboat, floating quietly on the sea, exuding a harmony between nature and power.
Let's go.
Lin Xuan snapped his fingers, and the calm sea surface suddenly churned.
He controlled the streams of water, which coalesced around the submarine into a crystalline wall of water, like the most solid armor.
Enveloped by a wall of water, the submarine slowly sank, breaking through the murky seawater and heading towards the deep seabed.
Outside the boat, the light gradually dimmed with depth, with only the walls of water reflecting a faint glow, illuminating the sparse and timid marine life that passed by.
Inside the boat, the three looked out through the porthole woven with vines.
This Blue Silver Submarine is really just for show; what actually withstands the water pressure is that thin wall of water.
Don't be fooled by the thinness of this water wall; it represents the ultimate power of Douluo Star.
Despite its thinness, it possesses an astonishing resistance to water pressure.
For Lin Xuan, the greater the water pressure, the more relaxed he felt.
It would be a joke if someone who has mastered the Ultimate Water were to be crushed to death by water pressure.
"Brother Xuan, so how should we search for the Sinking Silver Vein next?"
Although we have a general location, the Demonic Whale Sea Area is vast, and finding a mineral vein here won't be easy.
Dugu Yan stared at the screen for a while, then got bored.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King ate too much, causing the entire Demonic Whale Sea Area to become lifeless, with not even a decent fish left.
It has absolutely no aesthetic value; I got bored of it after watching it for a while.
"Don't worry, there's nothing I can't find wherever there are plants."
Lin Xuan smiled confidently, then his expression instantly turned serious.
The power belonging to the Child of Nature within him was instantly mobilized.
At the same time, it instantly enveloped the vast area of Blue Silver Domain.
The ordinary Blue Silver only allows Lin Xuan to see the Blue Silver Grass.
However, when the power of the Child of Nature is added to the Blue Silver Domain, the Blue Silver Domain will transform into the Nature Domain.
Its effect will be upgraded from Blue Silver Grass to all plants.
Although the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is gluttonous, it doesn't eat everything.
For example, he's too lazy to eat things that are too plain.
This allowed some very young deep-sea plants to survive.
These preserved plants became his eyes in the search for Deep Sea Heavy Silver.
Lin Xuan's Spiritual Power rapidly traversed the vegetation through his domain, continuously spreading further and further away.
Almost every moment, a large amount of information enters Lin Xuan's mind through the domain.
What he had to do was find clues about the Sinking Silver in this information.
In his field, he was almost a god-like being, even though the entire field was ridiculously large.
But with this cheat-like advantage, Lin Xuan quickly found what he wanted in a deep underwater abyss.
"Found it!"
Lin Xuan slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again, a fleeting look of weariness in them.
It takes a lot of mental effort for the brain to process so many things in a short period of time.
Fortunately, he found what he was looking for.
At the same time, he also discovered another giant mineral vein in the same area.
Blue Pregnancy Copper!
He finally understood why that old guy Lan Luosi was so reluctant to tell him the location of this mine, even under pressure.
Although Sinking Silver is precious, it is not actually used very often on the mainland.
Although both are deep-sea metals, Blue Pregnancy Copper is worth several times more than Sinking Silver.
And the sales volume is even greater, no wonder the other party is keeping it so secret.
Even if it can only be mined once a year, that's enough for them to enjoy for a long time.
With the Ultimate Water resisting high pressure and propelling the submarine forward, Lin Xuan's submarine reached the location of the Sinking Silver Vein with almost no effort.
Lin Xuan finally understood why Lan Luosi, a Soul Douluo, could come here to mine.
It's so desolate here, there isn't even a decent Soul Beast. As long as you avoid the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's hunting season, this Demonic Whale Sea Area is definitely one of the safest places.
As long as it can withstand the high pressure of several thousand meters, even a dog can come and carry away a piece of the Sinking Silver.
At an altitude of 5,000 meters, this is no longer a place where sunlight can reach.
Even describing it as pitch black would be an apt description.
However, this didn't stump Lin Xuan; he had to learn about the Extreme Light.
For the first time, the seabed, shrouded in darkness year-round, was bathed in direct sunlight.
The light directly drove away the darkness, revealing the most pristine state of this seabed.
"Come!"
Looking at the jagged rocks on the seabed before him, Lin Xuan raised his right hand expressionlessly.
The power of Ultimate Gold gathered wildly within his body, then transformed into a force field that spread outwards.
The seabed began to tremble slightly, as if something terrifying was brewing within it.
Boom!
But the next second, a silver torrent burst forth from the rocks like a giant dragon.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a blue torrent followed closely behind.
The Ultimate Gold's absolute control makes it incredibly convenient for mining.
The Soul Tool at his waist flickered slightly, and a torrent of silver and blue light plunged directly into the space in front of Lin Xuan.
After extracting the fluids for a full three minutes, Lin Xuan finally stopped.
It wasn't because their Soul Power was completely depleted.
Lin Xuan felt that it was about enough. In just three minutes, Lin Xuan extracted about a thousand tons of blue progesterone and five thousand tons of Sinking Silver.
It sounds like a lot, but compared to these two giant mineral veins, it's just a drop in the ocean.
Of course, this was not only because Lin Xuan felt that the amount of metal was sufficient.
The key factor that made Lin Xuan stop was the arrival of someone.
A person who wasn't entirely unfamiliar to Lin Xuan appeared in his perception.
