Black was so excited he was practically going insane:
(????????????????)??"A stroke of fortune! A heaven-sent opportunity! If we swallow this treasure trove, why the hell would we ever mine again?"
It was enough for him to strike out on his own, claim a Star Sector, and live like a king!
He'd never have to live on the edge of a knife again!
It was even enough for him to buy up an ordinary mine with decent yields and keep his family rich for seventeen or eighteen generations!
At that moment, Black wasn't the only one who was excited. Even the mercenary underlings who'd come with him cheered!
It was like their ancestors' graves were smoking with good fortune! They'd actually stumbled upon the private vault of a Great Mine Lord in the vast Hercules Stream?
Gaffey's eyes shone. "Boss! Look at the inscription! Chong Feiyu! It's the vault of the Feiyu Insect Emperor!"
Black swallowed, his face alight with excitement. "Chong Feiyu... She was once the most powerful Great Mine Lord in the North Crown Starry Sky Mine, a big shot known as Star Eater!"
"Unfortunately, she failed to evolve over five thousand years ago and mysteriously disappeared! All the mining regions in her hands were taken over by her best friend, Chong Bishi!"
"In other words, this private vault is unclaimed. Even if we take something, there's no risk of anyone investigating. We can spend it without anyone coming after us!"
Even the Cosmic God Shield protecting the vault had a hole in it, and nobody had come to repair it. Clearly, no one had checked on this place for a long time!
And private vaults like this were never shared with anyone else. Chong Bishi probably didn't even know it existed!
Otherwise, she'd never have left it here
