984: Chapter 944: Obtaining the Ore 984: Chapter 944: Obtaining the Ore Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng and said, “Of course, I know I have the Divine Fire of the Sun in my hand.”

“As for this guy, there’s no need to use the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, just scorch him with the Divine Fire of the Sun.”

“It’s just to stop the bleeding anyway.”

Lu Chuan stepped forward and pressed his palm on the wound.

He didn’t press down completely, but the flames had already begun to burn the wound.

Hiss~~~

“Ah!!!”

Zhu Wu was covered in sweat, gasping for cool air, and couldn’t stop trembling.

Lu Chuan withdrew his hand, and the wound had healed.

Although it said healed, it actually just scorched the wound and clogged the blood vessel.

At this moment, Zhu Wu’s forehead was drenched in sweat.

He didn’t dare to say a word, fearing for his life.

“Lead the way, where have you hidden the precious mineral ores dug up here?”

Zhu Wu walked ahead, his figure swaying slightly, his face full of distress.

“They…

they’re all in the basement, follow me, I’ll take you there.”

He helplessly walked out of the room and followed the hallway to the staircase.

He walked down the stairs slowly.

The people downstairs were all looking up cautiously.

When they saw Zhu Wu with a broken arm and a face full of grief, they couldn’t help but gasp.

Questions arose in everyone’s minds.

“What on earth happened?”

“How did this happen?

How did our boss lose his arm?”

“I don’t know, maybe he offended someone he shouldn’t have?”

“Probably that’s the case, but isn’t the City Lord backing up our boss?

Who would dare to mess with him?”

“Who knows?

It seems that the newcomer is up to no good.”

“Let’s disperse quickly, I have a bad feeling.

If we get involved, our fate could be even worse.”

After a quiet discussion, they all scattered, not daring to stay here any longer.

Zhu Wu led the way down.

“Over there, there’s a storage room.

Usually, only I and a few of my trusted subordinates can enter.

The entrance to the basement is right there.”

Lu Chuan quickly walked up to the storage room’s door, saw an iron lock on it, and kicked it right off!

Bang!!!

The wooden door was kicked open, and the planks fell down, as Lu Chuan saw the inside of the storage room.

At that moment, Zhu Wu came up quickly.

“It’s…

it’s under that pile of wooden crates.”

Lu Chuan looked over and saw a wooden crate filled with discarded pickaxes.

After moving the crate aside, Lu Chuan saw the entrance to the basement.

Opening the iron panel, a staircase appeared before Lu Chuan.

The narrow, long passage ahead looked somewhat dim.

“Such a narrow path, can your physique even fit through?”

“I can’t fit through, so I have to let people I trust go down.

Whenever it’s time to tally, they carry it up, I check it, and then have them carry it back down.”

“In that case, should it be just the two of us going down, while you keep an eye from here?”

Lu Chuan asked Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu paused for a moment, then quickly said, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything up here, I will just stay here honestly and wait for you to come up!”

He hurriedly explained.

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng, “You keep an eye on him, I’m going down first.”

“No problem, leave it to me.

I’ll keep a good watch on him, I won’t let him make any move.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and then walked down the stairs to the basement.

After descending step by step, Lu Chuan entered the basement space.

The space wasn’t large and had three shelves, each holding several boxes.

Lu Chuan approached and saw labels on the boxes.

“fire attribute mineral ore…”

After checking each one, he found the fire attribute mineral ore on the second shelf.

Upon opening the first box, Lu Chuan felt a warm surge, and the entire box was hot.

Inside were some reddish mineral stones, looking as though they were stained with blood.

Lu Chuan set down the first box and opened the second.

Inside was something a bit different, there were fire attribute crystals.

The red crystals were irregularly shaped, and under the light, they cast complex and varying rays.

Lu Chuan continued to inspect the next box.

After opening it, he saw that it contained red jade stones.

It was the first time Lu Chuan had seen such reddish jade stones.

After picking them up and touching them in his hands, Lu Chuan felt warmth in his palm and could clearly sense the Spiritual Energy they contained.

“The purity is not low, but the Spiritual Energy contained is too little.”

“Anyway, let’s take these back first.”

In the entire basement, there weren’t many rare mineral ores, just these three boxes of fire attribute ores, which Lu Chuan could easily stack and carry away.

Lu Chuan picked up the boxes and prepared to leave.

As he approached the stairs and looked up, he strangely found no light.

The stairway was dim, void of any light, as if the exit above had been blocked.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Could it be that the fat man wasn’t being honest?

“Hey!

Move the stuff away, I need to come up!”

Lu Chuan started ascending the stairs.

When he reached the exit, Lu Chuan knocked on the sealed object.

It was a large iron plate weighed down by heavy objects.

“Hey!

Move this away!”

Lu Chuan yelled loudly.

But still, there was no response.

Faintly, Lu Chuan seemed to hear the sound of a fierce fight occurring.

Lu Chuan’s brow tightened; Zhu Wu was severely injured and had even lost an arm, so even if a real fight was happening, Dongfang Cheng should still not be overpowered.

Lu Chuan clenched his fists, then immediately sat down cross-legged.

After entering a meditative state, Lu Chuan’s Divine Soul left his body.

Like a ghostly shadow, his Divine Soul emerged, drifting away from Lu Chuan’s body through the air.

Gradually, Lu Chuan’s Divine Soul penetrated the iron plate and moved into the storage room.

Then, Lu Chuan saw everything that was happening there.

Zhu Wu stood in a corner, while two figures entered the room and firmly pressed Dongfang Cheng to the ground; one of them even covered Dongfang Cheng’s mouth with his hand.

“Boss, this guy is now under control, what should we do next?”

Zhu Wu sneered, “Of course, find a place to bury him.

When outsiders come asking, just say no one’s been here, and that’ll be fine.”

“Right, hurry up and add more things, crush this entrance!

Don’t give that bastard any chance to come out; the guy’s strength is outrageous, hurry!”

One of the thugs hurriedly turned and left, soon bringing various iron armors and implements, throwing them on the iron plate, quickly piling up over a meter high.

“That bastard, cutting off my arm, he really deserves to die!”

he spat through clenched teeth.

“But now, he should know the consequences of offending me.”

“Let him stay down there honestly, until he starves to death!”
