Chapter 664

"Is the matter of divine blood made up by you, or is it true?"

Li Yi was walking in the mine tunnel of Red Mountain at this moment, with Ji Hei, who was a slave owner, following all the way. On the road, he couldn't help but feel curious about the so-called divine blood matter, so he asked.

Slave owner Ji Hei thought for a while and said with a smile: "Ancient legend says that red gold is condensed from the blood of gods spilled on the earth, so red gold is the most expensive. Therefore, there is also a rumor that in the Red Mountain mine, if you are lucky, you might be able to dig up the blood of gods that has been sealed for a long time and has not yet condensed. And divine blood warriors all believe that if you bathe in divine blood, you will possess a physique comparable to a god, and even have a chance to live a new divine bloodline."

"Although there are dual divine blood warriors in this world, they are all gestated by the direct descendants of the two great divine blood families, not created by bathing in divine blood."

"I am just a slave owner with shallow knowledge. I cannot distinguish the truth of the divine blood matter, but this legend has been passed down from generation to generation. The Red Mountain Lord also searched for divine blood. He once blasted open ten large mountains, lost the wealth of ten large mountains, and in the end, he could not find the divine blood, so the Red Mountain Lord finally gave up."

Li Yi nodded slightly upon hearing this: "So that's how it is. Besides precious red gold, are there other treasures in this large mountain?"

"Slaves have dug up the remains of a Hundred Mountain Lord, and also discovered a section of an ancient divine weapon... These are all major events that shocked Red Mountain, and I remember them vividly," slave owner Ji Hei said.

"It seems the Red Mountain Lord is indeed very wealthy," Li Yi said.

Slave owner Ji Hei laughed: "This is a powerful warrior who is a Thirty Mountain Lord, naturally possessing the wealth of thirty mountains. He must be very wealthy. Lord Dayi, you are a direct descendant of divine blood and will also become a Lord of a region in the future, perhaps even surpassing this Red Mountain Lord."

Li Yi was not interested in his flattery. He was just thinking about what the strength of this Red Mountain Lord was like and whether Xuan Yuezi, this Three Flower Realm peak cultivator, could take him down.

After all, the highest combat power he could mobilize in his hands was the peak of the Three Flower Realm.

Although there were Dao-achievers in the Dharma-Ending cultivation world, he had not yet recruited them. The Cang Cang Erzi from before was a Dao-achiever, but after the Dharma-Ending era, his realm fell, and he didn't know if he had recovered in the Profound Immortal World now.

"Lord Dayi, go this way. Your companions are in the deepest mining area. I promised Xiu Xiang that I would only let you see your companions. Whether you can bring them out is not something I promised. I hope Lord Dayi you won't be angry because of this." Slave owner Ji Hei continued to say.

"That is enough." Li Yi nodded slightly.

Xiu Xiang had already done his best to be able to do this. After all, facing a Lord of a region, relying solely on his financial resources and ability as a merchant to confront him was obviously impossible, and he would not force others to do what they couldn't.

At the same time.

In the depths of the Red Mountain mine.

Jiang Jiang Tianming, who was a slave, was swinging a bronze hammer, working hard to hammer the mountain stone in front of him like everyone else in the Savage World. They had to smash the mountain body to let the red gold inside appear.

This was the most primitive and inefficient way of mining, but it couldn't stop the people of this world from having great strength.

Long-term mining, and having to endure the scorching aura in Red Mountain, Jiang Jiang Tianming, like other slaves, became black and thin, with many whip marks on his back. But what made him different from other slaves was that although his physical body suffered torture, his soul was tempered to be exceptionally powerful.

And the heaven and earth spiritual energy in the Red Mountain mine contained a special power. This power was like the essence Qi emitted by divine blood. Absorbing it for a long time could change one's physique.

Ordinary slaves did not understand the path of cultivation, so they would only die of exhaustion in this Red Mountain mine.

But Jiang Jiang Tianming was different. He understood the Evolution Method, so despite his black and thin appearance, he was still evolving in his bones.

If not for this, with the body of an Earthling, he would have died long ago mining here.

Boom!

The bronze hammer in his hand smashed a piece of gravel in front of him, and a few pieces of red gold appeared.

Facing this valuable red gold, Jiang Jiang Tianming's gaze moved. Taking advantage of others not paying attention, he opened his mouth, and a piece of red gold flew into his belly. And in his belly existed a storage magic treasure.

Speaking of this storage magic treasure, Jiang Jiang Tianming couldn't help but think of Li Yi.

Back then, after Li Yi killed Xu Wendao at the Golden Academy, he shared three storage magic treasures with him. Although he was captured by a group of wild warriors when he first entered this Savage World and everything on his body was looted, he kept a mind and swallowed the second storage magic treasure into his belly.

And facts proved that the choice back then was right.

Using this storage magic treasure, Jiang Jiang Tianming secretly collected a lot of red gold in the Red Mountain mine.

"If I return to Earth, I will use this red gold to forge a suit of armor and a precious sword. I will definitely be able to roam the world." Jiang Jiang Tianming secretly thought: "I have seen the weapons forged by the mountain-guarding warriors using red gold. They are truly indestructible."

He collected red gold very cautiously because he knew that once exposed, he would definitely die very miserably. With his current strength, he couldn't deal with the Red Mountain Lord.

"Jiang Jiang Tianming, how long do we have to stay here? Should we find a chance to escape?" At this moment, another black and thin slave walked over. He was Zhao Zhao Fangji, who was sold into Red Mountain as a slave like Jiang Jiang Tianming.

And Zhao Zhao Fangji's task was to pick up red gold and send it to a designated place.

So he and Jiang Jiang Tianming did not have much contact time.

"Leaving is certain, but not now. This is a very good place for cultivation. By borrowing the strange energy emitted by Red Mountain, our physique is transforming. The body of an Earthling is too weak. After the transformation is complete, I will find a chance to leave," Jiang Jiang Tianming said in a low voice.

"Besides this, I also have to find the legendary divine blood in this Red Mountain?"

Zhao Zhao Fangji said in a low voice while picking up red gold on the ground: "Do you have a clue?"

"After I absorbed the energy of Red Mountain, my body gradually had some resonance with this place under transformation."

Jiang Jiang Tianming continued to swing the giant hammer in his hand hard: "In the direction I am smashing, there is an energy attracting me. I suspect that is the divine blood hidden in the depths of the large mountain."

"Coming here to be a beast of burden for so long, not taking away some treasures, how can I be reconciled? By the way, what happened to that Mountain Lord-level Qiongqi?"

Zhao Zhao Fangji said: "I don't know. I haven't seen that Mountain Lord-level Qiongqi."

"Last year, when that Mountain Lord-level Qiongqi was sleeping, my soul left my body. Taking this opportunity, I cast a Beast-Taming Talisman. That was the highest-level Beast-Taming Talisman I spent a huge price to refine. Although I couldn't immediately tame a Mountain Lord-level Qiongqi, as time passed, that Qiongqi should logically be slowly affected by the Beast-Taming Talisman. After all, people in this world don't know cultivation methods, let alone how to break the Beast-Taming Talisman."

Jiang Jiang Tianming swung the hammer and continued to say in a low voice.

"You are truly crazy. With your realm, you actually thought about taming a Mountain Lord-level Qiongqi. That is a mythical creature with terrifying strength. No wonder that Qiongqi went crazy in the mountain for those few days. It turned out to be looking for you. Fortunately, you hid in the depths of Red Mountain and used the aura of red gold to hide yourself; otherwise, we would be dead." Zhao Zhao Fangji, who was collecting the red gold scattered on the ground, couldn't help but pause.

Jiang Jiang Tianming revealed a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "The bold are full, the timid are hungry. What are you afraid of? We are already slaves, whipped every day, working like beasts of burden mining. If we don't fight, how can we turn things around? If I find the divine blood and tame that Qiongqi, after returning to Earth, I will be the boss. Zhao Zhao Fangji, don't say you are willing to mine here. Aren't you also accumulating strength waiting to turn things around?"

"I have now become a divine blood warrior. My bones have turned silver, and my blood has turned silver. And I have mastered the power of silver lightning. It is precisely because of this that I am in a hurry to leave," Zhao Zhao Fangji said.

His characteristics were exactly the same as Li Yi's previous characteristics.

After all, Zhao Zhao Fangji had also eaten silver strange fruits. It was just that those strange fruits were not enough to give him bloodline power before. But in Red Mountain, he absorbed too much special essence Qi that leaked from the mine. These essence Qi prompted him to also become a divine blood warrior.

"Above divine blood warriors are divine blood descendants. You should have some patience and stay for a while longer. It won't be too late to leave after you become a divine blood descendant. If we miss this opportunity, we won't be so lucky next time," Jiang Jiang Tianming said.

Zhao Zhao Fangji carried the basket filled with red gold and said while preparing to leave: "Your physical transformation has not reached the level of blood. You can't see any abnormality when you are whipped. I am different. If I am whipped and bleed silver blood, then my identity as a divine blood warrior will be exposed. At that time, I am worried that it will bring trouble. Once noticed by the warrior chief or the Mountain Lord, there will be no chance to leave in the future."

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Jiang Tianming nodded upon hearing this: "Since that is the case, then wait until I finish mining here before leaving. I feel that I am about to dig into the area where divine blood might exist. It will only take a few days."

"Then you hurry up. I will try to turn in more red gold these few days so that I can avoid being attacked by the overseers," Zhao Zhao Fangji said, and without delay, he carried the red gold and left quickly like other slaves.

They did not have many opportunities to meet, only one contact opportunity every two or three days.

Jiang Jiang Tianming fell silent again upon hearing this, and the strength of the hammer in his hand couldn't help but increase a bit.

With his current strength, mining was naturally not a problem. It was just that to avoid being noticed, he deliberately controlled his strength; otherwise, a slave possessing the strength of a warrior would definitely be noticed, and then he would not have to hide anymore.

"It is indeed time to leave. A slave with no strength can generally only live for two years in the Red Mountain mine. I have already stayed for more than a year. If I don't leave, I will also be noticed by the overseers."

Jiang Jiang Tianming secretly thought.

The slaves of the same batch were almost all dead. He and Zhao Zhao Fangji understood cultivation, so they had survived healthily until now.

"I don't know how Hu Fei and Li Yi are doing. Are they still alive?"

Subsequently, he sighed again.

Back then, the four of them encountered misfortune, were captured together. He and Zhao Zhao Fangji, along with Hu Fei, were sold as slaves. Hu Fei was unlucky and was bought halfway, while Li Yi seemed to have been left in that mountain village.

He shook his head.

Jiang Jiang Tianming continued to mine. He couldn't care about others now. It was already good that he could survive. But if he escaped these days, he must destroy that village and try his best to find the whereabouts of Li Yi and Hu Fei.

He couldn't just leave them in this Savage World, especially Li Yi. Without the storage magic treasure he gave himself back then, he would have died long ago.

Although there were no precious things in his storage magic treasure, it stored quite a lot of nutrient solution.

Slaves lacked food the most. Without those nutrient solutions to survive the period of serious injury in the early stage, he would have died long ago and wouldn't have lasted until now.
