Time passed by bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
In these five days, Fang Chen followed the guidance of Old Ancestor Bronze and was able to find the place where the Purple Crystal Ores were gathered easily as he collected them quickly.
In these five days, Fang Chen had collected a total of 6,000 Purple Crystal Ores and three Purple Crystal Spirit Stones.
In these few days, Fang Chen did not go out to kill the Purple Crystal Beasts intentionally. He thought of a problem. If he did not collect all the Purple Crystal Ores before the arrival of the General Family, they would definitely barge in.
If he killed all the Purple Crystal Beasts, there would be no Purple Crystal Beasts to stop them. By then, he would be discovered by them.
Therefore, Fang Chen's goal for now was the Purple Crystal Ores.
Following Fang Chen's mining, the first half of the Purple Crystal Mine was empty without a single Purple Crystal Ore.
Right now, Fang Chen had arrived at the second half of the mine and continued mining.
With the help of Little Mouse and the guidance of Old Ancestor Bronze, it was extremely easy for Fang Chen to collect the Purple Crystal Ores.
When Fang Chen had collected about 9,000 Purple Crystal Ores, the General Family and the other forces finally arrived before the Purple Crystal Mine.
"Elder Huo, this mine is extremely unique. I feel that the ores within are definitely extraordinary." Before the Purple Crystal Mine, the Family Head of the General Family chuckled.
Elder Huo sensed for a moment before revealing a smile on his face, "Judging from the aura that is being emitted from the mineral vein, this mineral vein is extremely valuable."
Elder Huo was a powerful elder of Fire Bull Peak. At the very least, he was much stronger than the Family Head of the General Family.
The Family Head of the General Family had some dealings with Elder Huo in the past. Therefore, he called for Elder Huo.
"But, there are mysterious creatures within. The defense is way too strong. We can't barge in at all." The Family Head of the General Family frowned and said.
"Send a few disciples in to take a look first." Elder Huo had just arrived and did not understand the situation.
After that, a few disciples of the General Family were sent into the Purple Crystal Mine. Even though the Family Head of the General Family was extremely displeased, he did not say anything.
A minute later, the Life Scrolls of the disciples of the General Family shattered. They had already fallen.
"Indeed." Elder Huo said in a low voice.
Just as Elder Huo and the General Family Head were trying to come up with a plan, Fang Chen was luring the Amethyst Beast.
Because of the Little Mouse, Fang Chen was not afraid of the Amethyst Beast. He quickly looked for the Amethyst Beast and then lured the Amethyst Beast.
In less than half an hour, Fang Chen attracted more than ten Amethyst Beasts. Because of the Little Mouse, Fang Chen was safe and sound, and the Amethyst Beasts were led by Fang Chen step by step to the front of the hole.
Roar
More than a dozen Amethyst Beasts gathered together. They were angry. They were played by a human martial artist. Their bodies emitted a bright light and wandered around the entrance of the cave.
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Fang Chen disappeared silently.
At that moment, in front of the Purple Crystal mine, Elder Huo had finally made up his mind to enter the mine personally to check it out.
"General Family Head, if the both of us were to join forces, even if we were to meet with those mysterious living beings that you spoke of, we would have nothing to fear." Elder Huo said.
The General Family Head pondered for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.
The strength of Elder Huo was stronger than him. If they were to meet with a mysterious living being, even if the both of them could not defeat it, they would not have to run away in a pathetic state. This was an opportunity.
"Alright, let's go in together." The General Family Head said.
After that, a group of martial artists entered the mine in a mighty manner.
The General Family Head and Elder Huo were at the front. The moment they entered the mine, they could feel the wild aura.
"What a dense aura!" Elder Huo's eyes lit up as he chuckled out.
Within the mine, it was pitch black. Elder Huo and the others advanced carefully. After they had advanced for a few hundred meters, they suddenly saw a bright light up ahead.
"Hurry and look! There's a light up ahead! It must be the light from the mine!" When Elder Huo saw that, his eyes widened. In a flash, he bolted towards the light.
When the General Family Head saw that, he followed closely behind and flew over.
When Elder Huo and the General Family Head got close to the light, they could feel a deafening roar.
"Not good! There's a mysterious living being!" The General Family Head shouted out.
However, it was all too late.
There were dozens of Amethyst Beasts that had been lured here by Fang Chen. They were extremely furious and were searching for Fang Chen. To think that there would be so many human martial artists barging in.
All the rage in their hearts was vented out in a single moment.
The dozens of Amethyst Beasts let out a roar into the skies as they dashed into the crowd and started a massacre.
"Damn it!"
Elder Huo roared out as a fireball appeared in his palms. It possessed a boundless amount of power. With a flick of his wrist, the fireball bolted out at one of the Amethyst Beasts.
Urgh!
The fireball struck the body of the Amethyst Beast, but it did not leave a single scratch. Instead, the fireball was extinguished by the Amethyst Beast.
"This …!"
At that moment, Elder Huo finally realized that something was wrong. He channeled all the power in his body and struck out at one of the Amethyst Beasts.
BAM!
The defense of the Amethyst Beasts was way too strong. Their entire bodies were covered with Amethyst Stones. To the Amethyst Beasts, Elder Huo's attack was no different from scratching an itch.
ROAR!
Ignoring Elder Huo's attack, the Amethyst Beast roared out as its hooves struck out at Elder Huo.
BAM!
Elder Huo tried his best to block it. However, it was to no avail. The hooves of the Amethyst Beast stomped down on Elder Huo's arm, and instantly, Elder Huo's arm was smashed into smithereens.
ARGH!
Elder Huo let out a tragic cry. He had thoughts of retreating.
By the time he turned around to look, the General Family Head had already given up on the many disciples of the General Family and had fled the place swiftly.
"DAMN IT!"
Elder Huo cursed out as he casually grabbed an ordinary disciple and tossed him towards the Amethyst Beast that was chasing after him. He then made use of this opening to leave the Amethyst Stone Mine in a flash.
After Elder Huo and the General Family Head had fled, these ordinary disciples became food for the Amethyst Beasts. Countless tragic cries reverberated throughout the entire Amethyst Stone Mine.
A quarter of an hour later, all the disciples were dead. Over ten Amethyst Beasts had left the place reluctantly.
Outside the Amethyst Stone Mine, the General Family Head was in a wretched state. There was even a trace of blood on his arm. His face was filled with horror.
"How is this possible?!"
The General Family Head cried out involuntarily. His head was shaking non-stop. The disciples of the General Family had been completely annihilated within the Amethyst Stone Mine.
This time, the General Family had suffered a huge blow.
On the other side, Elder Huo was even more furious. Not only was he injured, but one of his arms had also been crippled by the Amethyst Beast. His cultivation base had dropped greatly. Right now, even if he were to meet an ordinary martial artist, he would not be able to defeat them.
"Damn it! Just what are these mysterious creatures?!" Elder Huo roared out.
Within the Amethyst Stone Mine, Fang Chen heard that the commotion had disappeared. He knew that the Amethyst Beasts had already killed them all. After that, he started mining with peace of mind.
A day later, all the ores within the Amethyst Stone Mine had been completely mined by Fang Chen. He counted the Amethyst Stones. There was a total of ten thousand pieces.
Next, Fang Chen's target was the Amethyst Beasts.
In any case, all the Amethyst Beasts had been mined. These Amethyst Beasts were useless. So if he directly killed them, he would be able to obtain Amethyst Soulstones.
After that, Fang Chen began to search for Amethyst Beasts.
Finding Amethyst Beasts was very simple. Fang Chen took out ten thousand Amethyst Stones from his spatial ring. Immediately, a wild Amethyst Qi spread out.
In just a moment, the Amethyst Qi spread throughout the Amethyst Stone Mine. Many Amethyst Beasts sensed the dense Amethyst Qi and quickly rushed over.
Three minutes later, the first Amethyst Beast appeared. The Little Mouse didn't say anything. It directly jumped onto the Amethyst Beast's head. With a cracking sound, it bit off the Amethyst Beast's horns. The Amethyst Beast died.
After the Amethyst Beast died, Fang Chen put away the Amethyst Stones. Then he dissected the Amethyst Beast's corpse and obtained a Amethyst Soulstone.
After that, Fang Chen moved to another location.
Because the Amethyst Stones attracted a large number of Amethyst Beasts, if all of them came at once, Fang Chen couldn't handle it alone. So he could only use this method.
After a while, Fang Chen used this method to kill another Amethyst Beast.
Of course, the Amethyst Beast was killed by the Little Mouse. He only collected the Amethyst Stones and Amethyst Soulstones dropped by the Amethyst Beast after its death.
In this way, after an hour, Fang Chen killed ten Amethyst Beasts and obtained ten Amethyst Soulstones.
Fang Chen collected the Amethyst Stones and Amethyst Soulstones happily. The number of Amethyst Beasts in the Amethyst Stone Mine was also constantly decreasing.
Originally, this Amethyst Stone Mine was almost completely mined by the Heaven Raising Gate branch, so the number of Amethyst Beasts would not be too many.
When Fang Chen's number of Amethyst Soulstones reached fifty, the Amethyst Beasts were finally all killed by the Little Mouse.
Now, the entire Amethyst Stone Mine was empty. There was not a single Amethyst Stone.
Fang Chen counted the Space Ring and found fifteen thousand Amethyst Stones and fifty Amethyst Soulstones lying quietly inside.
"The harvest is great." Fang Chen grinned.
Although he couldn't absorb the Amethyst Stones at this stage, he could after reaching the Spirit Vortex Realm.
Moreover, Amethyst Stones were a foreign currency after all. Its preciousness was countless times higher than supreme-grade Spirit Stones.
In the Ancient Sword Continent, it was definitely priceless.
After collecting all the Amethyst Stones and Amethyst Soulstones, Fang Chen left the Amethyst Stone Mine in high spirits.
Not long after Fang Chen left the Amethyst Stone Mine, Huoniu Mongols arrived.
He was skilled and bold. Without hesitation, he entered the Amethyst Stone Mine. After an hour, Huoniu Mongols came out safe and sound.
"Peak Master, how was it?" An Elder asked.
He had received information from Elder Huo that there was a strange Amethyst Stone Mine and there were mysterious creatures inside. After Huoniu Mongols heard the news, he rushed over personally.
Hearing that, Peak Master Huo Niu shook his head gently and said, "The ores inside have already been completely mined. Not a single piece is left. As for those mysterious creatures that Elder Huo mentioned, they are all dead. This place has become a piece of waste ore."
