Assaulting the Mine Vein
The Golden Jade Mountain Range stretch for tens of thousands of miles, with high peaks, dense forests, and abundant Spiritual Qi.
Deep within the mountains, in a Giant Valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, one can see a three-story Golden Pavilion with the three large silver characters "Jin Yu Ge" (Golden Jade Pavilion) on its plaque. Several Barbarian Race cultivators sit together, sipping tea and chatting.
At the end of the valley was a huge mine shaft, from which the sound of metal clashing could be heard from time to time.
Inside the Golden Jade Pavilion, a burly man in a golden robe sat in the main seat, while a man of medium build in a golden robe reported to him.
"Elder Long, this is the Golden Jade Stone ore we mined, which is 20% more than last year."
The man in the golden shirt took out a Golden Storage Bag and handed it to the burly man in the golden shirt.
There is a large Golden Jade Stone mine here, belonging to the Golden Ape Tribe. This Golden Jade Stone mine is the Golden Ape Tribe's most important source of income, and a Nascent Soul Cultivator has been specially assigned to guard it to prevent villains from coveting the mine.
The burly man in the golden robe nodded in satisfaction, took the Golden Storage Bag, and said, "You've worked hard. I heard that during this time..."
Before he could finish speaking, a deafening explosion rang out, and Jin Yu Pavilion shook slightly.
A piercing alarm sounded, and a frantic voice came from outside. "Something terrible has happened! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The burly man in the golden robe's face darkened, and he hurriedly ordered, "Use the Communication Array to call for reinforcements immediately; we can't hold out for long."
A fourth-order grand formation, along with Communication Array and Teleportation Array, has been set up here, allowing reinforcements to arrive as quickly as possible and facilitating retreat.
"Yes, Elder Long."
The man in the golden robe acknowledged the order and left.
The burly man in golden robes leaped out, and a thick Golden Light Screen enveloped them. Three men and one woman were attacking the Golden Light Screen; judging from their aura, they were all Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"A swift and decisive victory is needed to break the Formation as quickly as possible."
A tall, elderly man in a golden robe said in a deep voice.
The four were none other than the True Monarch Golden Crow and his companions. They had changed their appearances and ventured deep into the heart of the Barbarian Race territory. Along the way, they had been traveling underground to avoid being discovered by the Barbarian Race cultivators.
Shen Long had previously used the Soul-Extinguishing Bead to injure several Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Golden Ape Tribe. In this great battle, the Golden Ape Tribe also participated, and several Nascent Soul Cultivator were killed in action.
Based on this intelligence, Shen Long concluded that the Golden Ape Tribe Golden Ape Tribe was the weakest and planned to take action against them.
With a flick of his sleeve, the True Monarch Golden Crow released a golden seal that shimmered with light, radiating astonishing Spiritual Qi.
The Spirit Treasure Dry Sun Seal was obtained by the True Monarch Golden Crow from the Immortal Burial Mound.
He slapped the golden Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and a cawing sound rang out. A huge golden raven flew out, its wingspan exceeding ten zhang, and its eyes were golden.
Golden-Eyed Golden Crow at the early stage of the fourth tier.
With a gentle flap of its wings, the Golden-Eyed Golden Crow unleashed hundreds of Giant Fireball that hurtled towards the Golden Light Screen.
Shen Long released the Iron Tail Scorpion, summoned the Thunder-Guiding Bead, and cast a spell.
The Thunder-Guiding Bead emitted a dazzling silver light, and a deafening thunderclap resounded from high above. A thick Silver Thunder Pillar struck down, heading straight for the Golden Light Screen.
Lin Qing and Xu Mei summoned their flying swords. With a flick of their wrists, a piercing sword cry rang out, and the flying swords split into two, then four, then eight. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of identical flying swords floated in the sky.
With a flick of their fingers, hundreds of flying swords surged toward the Golden Light Screen like a river of swords.
"Four Nascent Soul Cultivator! Spirit Treasure."
The burly man in the golden robe was terrified and ordered, "You all retreat immediately!"
A large number of Barbarian Race cultivators rushed towards the Teleportation Array. A sharp, piercing screech rang out, and they all let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.
When the Iron Tail Scorpion advanced to the fourth rank, it unleashed Divine Sense Attack cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage could not withstand. Their sea of consciousness was severely damaged, they lost consciousness, and became living dead.
He brandished a Halberd that shimmered with golden light, meeting the oncoming Dry Sun Seal head-on.
The Halberd clashed with the Dry Sun Seal, producing a metallic clang.
A series of booming explosions rang out as silver lightning, Golden Flame, cyan sword light, and Yellow Poisonous Fire engulfed the Golden Light Screen, which then emitted a wisp of Golden Light Screen smoke.
The burly man in the golden robe frowned. Even with four Nascent Soul Cultivator attacking, it would be difficult for them to break the Formation in the short term.
With a hand seal, the Golden-Eyed Golden Crow True Monarch Golden Crow unleashed a burst of Golden Flame from its mouth, which landed on the Golden Light Screen, causing the Golden Light Screen's radiance to dim further.
The Dry Sun Seal emitted a dazzling golden light, crashing into the Golden Light Screen.
Just as the burly man in the golden robe was about to stop him, a sharp, piercing screech rang out, and he immediately felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet.
The Dry Sun Seal struck the Golden Light Screen Golden Light Screen, causing it to dent and its spiritual light to dim.
A thick Silver Thunder Pillar struck the Golden Light Screen, and two giant swords gleaming with spiritual light shot out. Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the Golden Light Screen shattered, and without the protection of the Formation, the golden-robed giant faced Shen Long and his companions directly.
Hundreds of Giant Fireball shot towards the golden-robed man, who snorted coldly, his body radiating golden light. A huge Golden Ape Phantom appeared in the void above his head, and the Golden Ape Phantom emitted a Golden Sound Wave that shattered the incoming Giant Fireball.
Two giant swords, gleaming with spiritual light, swept towards them. The burly man in golden robes quickly brandished his Halberd and charged forward to meet them.
Two clanging sounds rang out as the two giant swords flew backward.
A thick, Silver Thunder Pillar descended from the sky. Just as the burly man in the golden robe was about to dodge, a piercing screech rang in his ears, as if someone had punched him on the head, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
Silver Thunder Pillar struck the golden-robed man, who felt an unbearable stinging pain all over his body as he was enveloped in the silver lightning.
With a flash of golden light, the Dry Sun Seal above the golden-robed giant's head and slammed down, unleashing a powerful gravitational force.
The burly man in the golden robe was terrified and tried to dodge, but a powerful gravitational force surged from the ground, causing his body to plummet rapidly towards the earth.
"No······"
The burly man in the golden robe let out a desperate cry, but before he could finish speaking, the Dry Sun Seal slammed down.
After a deafening roar, the earth shook violently.
A nascent Nascent Soul resembling the burly man in golden robes flew out of the body. Before it had gone far, the Nascent Soul's size increased dramatically, and it exploded instantly.
A huge golden light shot into the sky, accompanied by rolling waves of air.
After a while, the shockwave dissipated, the Dry Sun Seal flew up, and a huge crater appeared on the ground. The golden-robed giant was reduced to a pile of minced meat, and both the Communication Array and the Teleportation Array were destroyed.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, the power of your Spirit Treasure is too great! Even a fourth-order grand formation can't withstand it."
Xu Mei praised, her face full of envy.
"Without the help of these three fellow Daoists, I wouldn't have been able to break the Formation so easily."
"I am truly proud," said the True Monarch Golden Crow modestly.
They found two Storage Bag among a pile of minced meat, one of which, Golden Storage Bag a large quantity of Golden Jade Stone ore.
True Monarch Golden Crow took 40% of the wealth, leaving 60%, which was then divided 20% among Shen Long and the other two.
"The Teleportation Array have all been destroyed. The Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Golden Ape Tribe won't be able to get here for a while. Let's mine some Golden Jade Stone ore before we leave!"
Shen Long suggested.
According to the intelligence they had, the Golden Ape Tribe had twelve Nascent Soul Cultivator. Shen Long had killed two of them in his early years, and five Nascent Soul Cultivator were on the front lines. Now, he had killed another Nascent Soul Cultivator who stayed behind in the Golden Ape Mountain Range and Nascent Soul Cultivator who went out, the Golden Ape Tribe wouldn't have sent too many Nascent Soul Cultivator.
True Monarch Golden Crow nodded, and Lin Qing and Xu Mei had no objections either. The four of them flew into the mine.
The mine tunnels are intricate and complex, with dozens of tunnels leading to one end. Here, even the Divine Sense of Nascent Soul Cultivator are significantly affected.
Shen Long slapped a golden Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and hundreds of thousands of Spirit Ant flew out.
"Go on! Enjoy your meal."
Shen Long gave the order.
Hundreds of thousands of Golden-Winged Fire Ant flew down onto the stone wall and began to gnaw at it.
Ordinary Golden-Winged Fire Ant couldn't bite through it at all, since Golden Jade Stone was a fourth-tier refining material. The Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen and the twelve Four-Winged Fire Ant were a little better; the raw Golden Jade Stone ore was like tofu to them, and they easily bit off a piece of Golden Jade Stone ore and swallowed it.
Shen Long unleashed the Purple Spider Blade and slashed at the stone wall.
With a series of muffled clanging sounds, thin cracks appeared on the stone wall, and pieces of Golden Jade Stone were chiseled out.
Half a day later, Shen Long took out a Communication Disk that was flashing red light, entered a spell, and the voice of True Monarch Golden Crow sounded, "Fellow Daoist Shen, it's almost time, we should leave."
"Okay, I'll be right out."
Shen Long agreed, put the Spirit Ant back into his Spirit Beast Bag, and returned along the way he came.
After exiting the mine, Shen Long and his companions transformed into four streaks of Escape Light and departed from the area.
When the Golden Ape Tribe arrived, they could only accept their bad luck.
News of the Human Race experts' attack on the Barbarian Race stronghold spread quickly, prompting all the major Barbarian Race to strengthen their defenses.
