Chapter 395

The exotic beast that tried to ambush him was beheaded, its body twitching with the last signs of life.

During this process, the Red Crystal Dragon Spear continued to pound the rock wall, finally breaking through several meters of rock to reveal a large area of Orichalcum.

With a thought, Lu Sheng’s fiery red flame swept over, beginning to compress and refine the dense Orichalcum mine with his Spiritual Power.

Meanwhile, more exotic beasts, attracted by the noise, kept coming.

Gradually, the piles of refined Orichalcum and beast corpses at Lu Sheng’s feet grew higher and higher.

Everything proceeded smoothly …

…

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed in the empty abyss.

Several people collecting tissue fluid from exotic beast corpses all looked up towards the sound.

“What was that sound?”

They exchanged glances, seeing the same confusion and suspicion in each other’s eyes.

“Was it an exotic beast or a person?”

“I don’t know.”

“Let’s go check it out!”

The team quickly agreed, rapidly collecting their loot and rushing towards the sound.

…

Boom!

A massive exotic beast with dark green skin, a sharp horn on its head, twelve claws, and a body over ten meters long was slammed into the wall.

It embedded deeply, rubble falling around it, stopping only when its momentum was exhausted.

If anyone were here, they would be shocked and exclaim.

Because this was a powerful Level 8 exotic beast, its twisted force field could render small nuclear weapons completely ineffective.

And now, this underground overlord-like monster had its skull shattered, its life quickly draining away.

A bronze-colored fist, like cast iron, was deeply embedded in its skull, almost completely piercing and shattering it … The inside was a mess.

It was as if it had been hit directly by a terrifying shockwave.

A figure stood on the beast’s chest, slowly pulling his arm out of the mass of bone and flesh.

He was much smaller than the Level 8 exotic beast but exuded the brutal aura of a higher-level predator.

“Dong Shengyi.”

The man, with a back as imposing as a mountain, slowly said the name, his cold face showing a deep unwillingness.

“Why is he so strong?”

“It seems his strength isn’t much greater than mine …”

“But I can’t even take one of his moves. Why?”

The man stood on the Level 8 beast’s corpse, thinking for a long time.

His brows furrowed, and his powerful aura fluctuated like water waves, pushing the black mist away, creating a vacuum around him …

Boom!

A distant explosion interrupted his thoughts.

The man glanced towards the sound, then looked away, showing no emotional response.

He began dissecting the Level 8 beast’s corpse, collecting the various tissue fluids he needed.

During this process, the explosions continued, even increasing in frequency.

When the man finally finished collecting the last tissue fluid, he stood facing the direction of the sound.

“Annoying …”

His brows furrowed with suppressed irritation, as if he had many grievances and frustrations with no outlet.

Boom!

Another explosion sounded, finally exhausting the man’s last bit of patience.

He took a deep breath and dashed towards the sound.

“You’ve angered me, and I’m in a bad mood. Bad luck for you …”

…

Boom!

Another blast from the red crystal dragon spear sent large chunks of rock and Orichalcum flying.

The distribution of Orichalcum mines was different from silver mines.

Orichalcum mines were very sparse, with chunks embedded in large rocks.

This made Lu Sheng’s excavation progress slow.

The immortal cells in his brow continuously sent inexplicable signals, and the constant arrival of Level 7 and 8 exotic beasts made Lu Sheng increasingly anxious and irritable.

Bang!

A Level 8 exotic beast, over ten meters long, was swept away by Lu Sheng’s Spiritual Power before it could approach, thrown into a nearby abyss.

At first, Lu Sheng killed the exotic beasts that came, but as the pile of rocks and beast corpses grew, he stopped.

Now, he just threw any beast that came into the abyss, saving a lot of effort.

“Just a bit more …”

Lu Sheng looked at the small mountain of Orichalcum blocks in front of him, calculating that it was almost enough, and considered leaving.

The total amount wasn’t as much as the last time with the Mithril mine, but this time he was alone, without the Tiger Scorpion Squad to help.

His Spiritual Power could only carry so much, as most of it was used for detection.

He estimated the Orichalcum he had collected was enough to forge an outer ring blade, and he could come back for more next time.

The signals from the immortal cells were making him increasingly uneasy.

It was like watching a vase fall and break in slow motion, his heart tightening.

Someone important to him was in imminent danger.

That was the message.

“No more!”

Lu Sheng gave up on the last bit of excavation, gathered the Orichalcum with his Spiritual Power, and prepared to leave.

At that moment, several figures appeared in front of him.

The leader’s eyes lit up at the sight of the Orichalcum floating around Lu Sheng, even his breathing quickened.

“Orichalcum! So much Orichalcum! He found a Orichalcum mine!”

***

This newly emerged squad of five was entirely captivated by the pieces of precious metal surrounding Lu Sheng. Their eyes burned with desire, barely able to contain themselves.

Lu Sheng was reminded of the stray cats and dogs from his previous life that would crowd around him when he brought food home.

He understood their thoughts clearly and spoke calmly, “The rest is yours. Make way.”

Feeling irritated and not wanting to entangle with these people, he decided to abandon the unmined veins of precious metal.

After all, he couldn’t take the rest with him anyway.

“Brother, you’re joking …”

A well-proportioned middle-aged man with a long horse face took a step forward, scanning the surroundings. The faint rustling sounds continued to emerge from the rolling black fog. He smiled and said, “The noise you made while mining attracted countless strange beasts. How can we continue mining? How about …”

His gaze fell on the precious metal around Lu Sheng, a glint flashing in his eyes. He forced a smile, “Share what you have with us, and we can all leave together sooner.”

As he spoke, the team members behind him took a step forward in unison, forming a fan shape and blocking Lu Sheng’s way.

The threat was evident.

“What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”

Lu Sheng’s face remained calm as he took a step forward, “Say it again.”

As Lu Sheng took that step, the members of the horse-faced man’s squad felt their hearts tighten as if something had stepped on them, making them jump and contract.

Before they could react.

Boom!

A massive exotic beast, seven or eight meters long, whimpered and flew out of the black fog, crashing heavily to the ground. It struggled for a moment before becoming still.

Immediately after, the black fog parted on both sides.

A towering figure, like a mountain, strode into the scene.

“Was it you who made the noise just now?”

The towering man scanned the area with his tiger-like eyes, his gaze lingering on the precious metal for a moment before returning to normal. Finally, his eyes settled on Lu Sheng as he spoke coldly.

The appearance of the towering man made the faces of the horse-faced man’s squad change drastically. They instinctively took two steps back.
