Chapter 590: Completely Crazy

Xie Hong's expression could not help but change, and he hurriedly covered Ye Lin's mouth.

"The New Year is almost here, don't be like this! I believe you!"

Xie Hong had not expected Ye Lin to be so unyielding, swearing on the lives of his entire clan over a single disagreement.

"Team Leader, no need for more words! If I, Ye Lin, am deceiving you, then let the Heavens strike down a bolt of lightning and annihilate my nine generations!"

Ye Lin patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"Team Leader, give me another fifteen days. Within fifteen days, I will definitely kill Liu Ruyan!"

"Fine, no empty words in the mines!" Xie Hong said with a solemn expression.

"Ten days! Ten days to kill Liu Ruyan!" Ye Lin's tone was resolute and decisive.

"Good! For these ten days, I guarantee no one will disturb you."

Xie Hong also gave Ye Lin a promise, and this promise allowed Ye Lin, on the third day, to completely let himself go.

On this day, the number of soul bodies pouring out from the Human Emperor Flag reached a terrifying five million!

If one were to look down from the sky above the Lingquan Mineral Vein, one could even see a wisp of black resentment, like cooking smoke, seeping out through the cracks in the vein.

Under the excavation of the five million soul bodies, the southern, western, and eastern veins of the 81st mining area were almost entirely hollowed out.

After having the soul army hollow out the mining area, Ye Lin also thoughtfully refilled the tunnels with rubble to delay the time before it was discovered.

On the first day, Ye Lin obtained Immortal Source ore equivalent to three million low-grade Immortal Source stones.

It was not that the soul army could no longer dig, but that the Immortal Source ore inside the 81st mining area was already nearly extinct...

On the second day, the number of the soul army doubled again, reaching an astonishing twelve million.

This twelve-million-strong soul army was divided into four by Ye Lin, and they dug out toward the 80th, 79th, 78th, and the newly opened 82nd mining areas, all adjacent to the 81st.

If one could split the Lingquan Mineral Vein open and clearly see a cross-section, one would discover something.

Inside the Lingquan Mineral Vein, there were now countless winding and twisting tunnels, like a spider web, spreading out with Ye Lin at the center.

In a sense, the interior of the Lingquan Mineral Vein had now become a giant ant nest.

Countless worker ants, transformed from soul bodies, were diligently digging within the mineral vein.

On the third day, Ye Lin, digging in four mining areas simultaneously, obtained Immortal Source ore equivalent to eight million low-grade Immortal Source stones!

Ye Lin's eyes turned red instantly.

At this speed, he only needed six days to reshape his body!

Thus, starting from the fourth day, Ye Lin went completely crazy.

He brought out the entire one-hundred-million-strong soul army from the Human Emperor Flag and launched an excavation on all mining areas within the Lingquan Mineral Vein at the same time!

Although there were eighty-two mining areas in the Lingquan Mineral Vein, the first fifty had long since been hollowed out.

Now, there were only thirty-two mining areas left that could still produce Immortal Source ore.

In these thirty-two mining areas, each area could be allocated an average of three million soul bodies!

If someone could see Ye Lin's expression now, they would find that his expression had become twisted with excitement.

Time is like the New Year; it feels like the firecrackers from last year have just exploded, and the New Year's greetings for this year have already begun to ring out.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

With the joint efforts of the one-hundred-million-strong soul army, the amount of Immortal Source ore Ye Lin took in every day was extremely terrifying.

The Immortal Source ore powder, refined by his Endless Devouring, had already piled up several meters high.

And as the one hundred million soul army secretly mined, the entire Lingquan Mineral Vein began to become abnormal.

At first, countless black resentment suddenly appeared above the Lingquan Mineral Vein; the density of that resentment even triggered natural phenomena, and blood rain began to fall from the sky!

The blood-colored rain fell in a scattered drizzle, and everyone said it was the Heavenly Dao unable to bear seeing the ascenders reduced to beasts of burden, shedding tears of blood.

And that black resentment was the resentment accumulated deep in the hearts of millions of ascenders!

Which of the ascenders was not a proud child of heaven, having defeated countless competitors to arrive at the Longevity Continent?

Yet, after arriving, they could only be beasts of burden; how could they be willing to accept this?

Immediately after, the interior of the mineral vein also began to become abnormal.

At first, a miner was digging when he suddenly shouted.

"Ghost!"

Then, he threw down his pickaxe like a madman and ran out, regardless of anything else.

At first, no one took it seriously, assuming he had suddenly fallen ill or was hallucinating.

But immediately after, the number of miners seeing ghosts increased.

Some would be digging when a semi-transparent ghost would suddenly appear, scaring them half to death.

Sometimes, one strike of a pickaxe could even dig up a large group of semi-transparent ghosts.

But strangely, those ghosts had no intention of harming them.

Rumors spread that those ghosts were all ascenders who had died in the mining area before... which was why they were so friendly to the miners who were also ascenders.

But digging up a ghost while working was too much of a test for one's mental fortitude.

For a time, there was panic in the mining area, and some even dared not continue mining.

More importantly, everyone discovered that the ore output rate during this period had dropped significantly.

Some people had not dug up a single piece of Immortal Source ore for five consecutive days.

Being haunted was one thing, but the lower output rate undoubtedly further reduced the enthusiasm of the ascenders for mining.

These phenomena also made the managers of the Lingquan Mineral Vein run around in a panic, and that Profound-Origin powerhouse even issued a death order: if the cause could not be found within three days, all management would be buried alive.

Because of these matters, Xie Hong had already been called in and scolded eight times by his immediate superior in these five days.

And at this moment, seeing that Liu Ruyan was still alive and kicking, Xie Hong was even more furious.

He stormed toward the mine cave where Ye Lin was located.

Ban Muming discovered Xie Hong in advance and hurriedly ran in to tip off Ye Lin.

Ye Lin frowned; there were still three days left of the ten days Xie Hong had promised him.

Xie Hong coming over in a rage now was definitely not a good thing.

If he just had one more day, the one-hundred-million-strong soul army would be able to help him gather enough Immortal Source ore to reshape his body.

As things stood, he could only take a gamble!

"Ban Muming, stay here and watch the Human Emperor Flag for me, let the soul army continue digging, don't stop!"

Ye Lin stuck the Human Emperor Flag into the ground, then walked out proactively, greeting him with a smile.

But as soon as Xie Hong saw him, he began to curse.

"Seven days have already passed, why do you have no progress at all? Are you trash? I ****!" Xie Hong vented all the humiliation he had received from his superior onto Ye Lin.

Ye Lin's eyes grew cold, but his face was indeed brimming with smiles.

"Don't worry, Team Leader! The killing array has already been set up! I am going to trick Liu Ruyan over now; you must not let anyone enter this mine cave, otherwise, it would be troublesome if the killing array is triggered by accident!"

Hearing this, Xie Hong's expression finally looked a little better.

"Fine, I'll watch it for you, go ahead!"

"Leave it to me, Ye Lin, you can rest assured one hundred percent!"

Ye Lin strode forward, proactively walking toward Liu Ruyan, and then took the initiative to greet her.

Ye Lin raised his hand and directly showed off his biceps.

"Hey, friend, my hands have the strength of a bear, a wolf, and a leopard!"
