Chapter 994

Just like now, he could fully feel the overwhelming energy coming from that stone.

"What's wrong?" Qing Mei was a bit worried, and soon gathered by his side.

Chen Ang smiled mysteriously, using a little force on his hand, and then pulled the stone out from the pile of stones.

That was a stone shaped like a pufferfish, with sharp thorns on its round body, and the outside was covered with a layer of rock shell after a long period of natural baptism.

Chen Ang took a deep breath, the Long Zhao in his hand manifested, and with just a little force, that layer of brittle shell scattered in all directions, revealing the six-pointed star-like gemstone inside.

"What on earth is this? Can we count this as finding a treasure?" Qing Mei was extremely excited, and a bit of a rosy glow appeared on her cheeks.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Sea Essence Stone, but this thing is usually only found in the sea, and it's hard to be discovered. It seems our luck today isn't just something that can be settled by catching a few fish."

Chen Ang smiled and put the thing into his bosom, then waved his hand generously.

"Let's go, today I'm treating, I'll treat you all to a good meal."

Chen Ang put on his clothes first, and then strode back to his residence.

Although he said he was treating them to a meal, in truth, they had already had enough of the things here. Even if they were refreshed, they couldn't come up with any new tricks.

If there wasn't anything truly good, it probably wouldn't be enough to amaze them.

Fortunately, he still had quite a few fruits like Giant God Fruit on him. The taste was definitely much better than those ordinary foods. Moving these things out as dishes would also make him look very respectable.

Anyway, these things no longer had any effect on him, but for Wan Shitong and the others, they should still be able to promote their future fusion and evolution.

"Just consider it doing them a favor. For this material, exchanging it for these things is truly a good deal." Chen Ang muttered, his golden claws dancing.

In an instant, several beautiful fruit platters were already displayed before him.

"Not bad." Chen Ang observed his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Bringing it outside, he naturally succeeded in getting praise from Qing Mei and the others.

"Brother Chen Ang, you don't have to be so extravagant. You being able to find that thing is entirely your own ability, we didn't help at all."

Wan Shitong didn't stand on ceremony, picking up a few pieces of fruit and stuffing them into his mouth, saying vaguely: "Luck is something that should be shared, otherwise how would it come again next time."

Chen Ang nodded, also agreeing with Wan Shitong's statement.

"Just sharing the joy with everyone. However, for just that piece of material, I have no way to evolve. But since Sea Essence Stone can be found in this place, maybe other things can be found. In a few days, I'll explore the surroundings properly, maybe there will be new discoveries."

The Dragon Clan nearby already feared him, so they probably wouldn't look for trouble with him.

Since it was the Dragon Clan's territory, there should be quite a few evolutionary materials suitable for him. He had been negligent before, but now he had to find them properly. It would be best to gather them all at once and evolve a few more skills.

After all, having many skills is not a burden. There are people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens. Although he wasn't worried about anyone daring to act against him nearby, no one could guarantee that he was already the strongest nearby.

Only by constantly making himself stronger could he have greater confidence.

After everyone was full, he then led Qing Mei out again.

After all, the relationship between the two was ambiguous. Along the way, Qing Mei was very constrained, and didn't even know what to say, so she could only make conversation with Chen Ang: "Brother Chen Ang, the fruit just now tasted really good."

"If you like it, then I'll give you all the rest, but it's not good to eat too much of that thing."

Chen Ang agreed, but didn't mean to take the initiative to relieve the other party.

He also quite liked seeing Qing Mei looking so shy.

However, before the two had gone far, they saw several Butterfly Clan members appear aggressively, looking like they were coming to find trouble.

Chen Ang didn't mean to pay attention to them at first, but didn't expect those guys to take the initiative to come to his door.

"You two, have you been to the riverside just now?"

Chen Ang's face turned cold instantly.

"What did you say? Do you know who you are talking to?"

For the Butterfly Clan nearby, Chen Ang had already given enough face, but these guys didn't even recognize him, and talked to him like this.

This was courage that even the few managers of their Butterfly Clan didn't have.

"Who else could you be? Looking at you, you don't look like any big shot. I'll ask you one more time, have you been to the riverside just now?"

Chen Ang didn't speak, but manifested his Long Zhao. The huge pressure immediately made those Butterfly Clan guys show expressions of panic.

But Chen Ang didn't give them a chance at all.

Just by gripping hard in the air, the space where those Butterfly Clan members were directly folded.

In just an instant, several people were crushed into fragments, leaving only a few butterfly wings floating in mid-air.

"Brother Chen Ang, were we too excessive? If the Butterfly Clan people find out, and then blame us..." Qing Mei was clearly frightened, her voice timid.

Knowing she didn't want to cause trouble, Chen Ang just comforted her.

"It's fine, I'll shoulder whatever happens."

He didn't believe that the Butterfly Clan would dare to challenge him for the sake of a few small fry.

Unless they were all tired of living.

Not lingering in place, Chen Ang continued forward with Qing Mei.

But thinking of those few people just now, Qing Mei felt more and more that something was wrong, and finally expressed her doubts to Chen Ang.

"Brother Chen Ang, do you think those two people just now weren't from the Butterfly Clan at all? Butterfly Clan people are usually very kind, how could they be like that just now..."

"But their characteristics can't be fake, right? Could it be someone else disguised?"

Chen Ang thought along Qing Mei's line of reasoning, and felt that this matter was indeed a bit suspicious.

When they went to the riverside, they saw quite a few Mantis Clan people surrounding the water's edge, their faces filled with anxious expressions.

Chen Ang pulled Qing Mei to hide on the side, listening quietly to the conversation of those few Mantis Clan members.

"It's gone, who on earth took it away? Could it be that the secret of the earth vein has been discovered?"

"Pah, what nonsense are you talking about, can you say things like that? What if someone is nearby."

"But haven't we already cleared the field? How could there still be anyone nearby."

Earth vein?

Chen Ang was puzzled, but felt a sense of clarity in his heart.

If there really was an earth vein in this place, it wouldn't be hard to explain why the Mantis Clan wanted to find trouble with the Butterfly Clan.

I'm afraid the Butterfly Clan people didn't even know they had such a good mineral vein here. If discovered by others, I'm afraid there would be a danger of being exterminated.

However, since it was on the Butterfly Clan's territory, he naturally wouldn't let these Mantis Clan people run wild.

But now was not the time for them to show themselves.

After all, he still wanted to rely on these Mantis Clan people to find the true entrance to the earth vein.

On this road, they could be said to have gone back and forth countless times, and had never felt any abnormality in spiritual energy.

And those Mantis Clan people also said that this earth vein was just nearby, not in this river.

So, if he relied only on himself to find it, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to find the true location of the earth vein.

Chen Ang guarded quietly, he had enough patience for suitable prey.

Fortunately, these Mantis Clan people soon had new actions.

Just hearing a horn sound, all the Mantis Clan people gathered in one direction.

That place was not the Mantis Clan's stronghold, so Chen Ang followed without hesitation.

He had done this kind of sneaky thing quite a bit, just hiding on a thick cloud, and followed these people forward.

Soon they saw them following the river, arriving under a cliff upstream.

Seeing this terrain, Chen Ang already had an idea in his heart.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen mineral veins, but usually those mineral veins had already been occupied by others, and would have a large number of formations and personnel guarding them. Even if one person's ability was strong, it was impossible to take away an entire mine.

So, he didn't act rashly, but wanted to see the reason why these Mantis Clan people had been delaying in occupying this mine and starting a full-scale war with the Butterfly Clan.

He believed that this matter definitely wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface, and these people couldn't be abandoning their interests because they feared other forces.

Sure enough, they saw a few Mantis Clan people walking out from under the waterfall, clutching their chests, clearly having suffered heavy injuries.

They saw a few elders hurriedly supporting those few people, and then exclaimed in disbelief: "Still not open? Who on earth set that seal? Could it really be a trap?"

They heard the woman who looked like the clan leader say: "Even if it's a trap, we must take this mine down, this relates to the future fate of our Mantis Clan!"

Regarding what the Mantis Clan leader said, Chen Ang felt both funny and emotional.

When a person's fate is tied to a clan, this person often loses themselves, unless they are strong enough.

Clearly, this person was a good clan leader, she was concerned enough about the development of her own clan members.
