"Just as you guessed, I am the spirit of this mountain, and I have now Refinement form!" Ling Yi's voice echoed in the woman's mind.
If you utter another word of nonsense, I'll eat you right now.
Ling Yi didn't want to waste time with this woman.
He has more important things to do.
Therefore, they didn't give the other person a chance to add lines and continued speaking.
"Back to my question." Ling Yi's tone became more serious.
It really is a spirit?
The woman was dumbfounded.
Ling Yi, Perception what the woman was thinking, was somewhat speechless.
How did such an innocent girl manage to navigate the Jianghu? And how has she survived until now?
"Fine, then forget it. It's a waste of time. Little White, this human is yours for a treat."
"Roar!" The golden-striped White Tiger roared in response.
At the same time, it opened its blood-red mouth wide, as if it was about to bite down.
"No, no!" The woman rolled her eyes again in fright.
"If you dare to faint, Little White will eat you right now."
Gaa!
The woman shuddered, forcibly gathering her Internal Energy and circulating it throughout her body.
That's when they recovered.
"My name is Huo Yan'er, female, seventeen years old, from Baihai City, Beiye North Leaf Province. I am the daughter of the head of the Huo Family, Martial Dao family in Bai Hai City. I learned about the gold mine by chance and came here to Probe its authenticity."
They really came for the gold mine.
"How did you manage to get around the guards in Little Ye Village and get here?"
This is what Ling Yi truly cares about.
"Our Huo Family has a secret technique called the Cloud Transformation Art. It was with this technique that I evaded others' Perception."
This Cloud Transformation Art is probably not simple.
Being able to evade the Perception of Master is something that even top-tier martial arts techniques cannot achieve.
I need to get my hands on this Cloud Transformation Art and study it.
However, we can deal with that after we've secured the gold mine.
"You and Little White stay here!"
Ling Yi patted Little White on the back, then looked at Huo Yan'er.
"If you dare to run, you'll face the consequences!"
"Ah, yes!" Huo Yan'er with a bitter face.
Ling Yi, without further ado, Ying Yi and transformed into a golden light, disappearing from sight.
Only Little White and Huo Yan'er remained on the scene, staring at each other blankly.
"You... you're not going to eat me, are you?" After a long while, Huo Yan'er asked cautiously.
"If you run, I'll eat."
"You, you, you can actually talk? No, this isn't talking."
It wasn't just talking; they all had Divine Seal Central City their minds.
It's just communicating through the Divine Seal.
Although the White Tiger doesn't understand human language, Huo Yan'er also can't understand the White Tiger's Beast Speech.
However, with the Divine Seal present, communication can still be conducted through thought, without being affected in the slightest.
"Gurgle!"
Just then, Huo Yan'er's stomach made a sound.
Huo Yan'er's face immediately fell. In order to get to the gold mine as soon as possible, she hadn't eaten for a day and a night.
I was starving.
Originally, Huo Yan'er planned to return to Red Maple Town and have a good meal after confirming the location and authenticity of the gold mine.
She had found the location of the gold mine, but she couldn't tell whether it was real or not.
After all, gold doesn't grow on the outside.
Before Ling Yi arrived, she also planned to Probe the cave in front of her again.
But then they happened to see this White Tiger that had wandered over from who-knows-where.
And a kid who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Just then, I witnessed the White Tiger "pouncing" on Ling Yi.
He instinctively stepped in to help.
But in the end, he got himself involved.
What kind of situation is this?
Feeling wronged, coupled with unbearable hunger and the fear of being eaten by a monster at any moment.
Huo Yan'er's tears started falling down her cheeks.
Little White glanced at Huo Yan'er for no apparent reason.
Little White doesn't understand human emotions yet.
Its only task now is to keep an eye on this human.
So, he lay down next to Huo Yan'er and used his head and body to form an angle, encircling Huo Yan'er inside.
In Little White's view, this is the best way to keep watch.
Huo Yan'er's entire body was covered in fur.
I was a little scared at first.
Then, I felt Warmth and comfortable.
Exhausted both physically and mentally, Huo Yan'er quickly fell asleep in Little White's Warmth and soft fur after shedding a few small pearls.
After a short while, she began to snore softly.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi had already ventured deep into the cave.
Although the cave is naturally formed, there are some traces of human activity inside.
It's estimated that these were the first group of people who discovered the gold mine's location and stayed behind.
Among them, Ling Yi also discovered a number of human White Bone.
Judging from the traces of these White Bone, the earliest one must have died a year ago.
The bones in his body bear many marks from being slashed by swords and knives.
Without even thinking, Ling Yi knew what had happened to these people before they died.
For many people, a gold mine of this size represents a fortune they could never squander in several lifetimes.
There must be greedy people among them.
I just don't know how many of those people actually made it out alive.
But one thing is certain.
Those who left probably never came back.
The traces in this cave were all left a year ago.
There were no further traces after that.
Since they didn't return, and the news of the gold mine Map had been leaked...
The fate of these people is probably already sealed.
There is likely to be a lot of bloodshed and violence involved.
The cave is very deep.
And it keeps going downwards.
As Ling Yi went deeper, he discovered many more excavation marks on the cave walls.
And some large, exposed gold ore.
Moreover, judging from its color, the purity of the Huangjin should be very high.
The deeper you go, the more gold ore you find.
Ling Yi casually collected some of the items and put them into his Personal Space.
Others use pickaxes and shovels to mine.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, has Personal Space, so collecting items is merely a matter of a thought.
When Ling Yi finally reached the deepest part of the cave...
I've already exchanged the gold ore Gathering for over 300 Upgrade Points.
This made Ling Yi increasingly excited.
It's hard to imagine how many Upgrade Points you could get if you bought the entire gold mine.
Ling Yi expressed her anticipation.
"This must be the deepest part of the cave, right?"
Ling Yi casually took out a battery, and then took out more than a dozen desk lamps with the lampshades removed, leaving only the light bulbs.
After some fiddling around, the originally dark cave instantly became bright.
This space is quite large.
It is nearly 30 meters high and 100 meters long and wide.
It presents an irregular square shape.
The surrounding cave walls shimmered with a golden light.
The most dazzling thing is underground.
There was a gold mine, like a dragon's spine, that rose from the bottom of the eastern cave wall and disappeared at the corner of the western cave wall.
"System, is this the main vein of this gold mine?"
[Yes, host. Through this main vein, we can connect to the entire gold mine, allowing me to devour the entire vein in one go.]
Ling Yi, suppressing his excitement, asked, "How many Upgrade Points can I exchange for?"
[Scanning calculations are in progress.]
After a few breaths, the system's voice sounded again.
[If all of them were converted into Upgrade Points, Wu Bai would amount to 5,224,322 points.]
However, Ling Yi did not exchange the currency immediately.
Instead, after a moment's thought, he asked, "If we were to devour all the gold in this mountain, wouldn't the cave Collapse?"
[Yes, so please be prepared, host.]
