Chapter 41: Crazy Mining!

Half an hour later.

Lu Changsheng arrived below a large rock wall, and in front was a large group of Moon Pattern Stones forming a rock wall.

He immediately waved his sharp claws and began to dig with all his might.

"Source Energy Points plus 1."

"Source Energy Points plus 1"

……

While digging, while using the panel to absorb, listening to the prompt sound in his mind ringing wildly, his energy became increasingly high.

"I dig, I dig..."

He was like a hardworking old farmer, not knowing fatigue at all.

A moment later, the wall in front was directly dug open into a small cave.

The low-tier Moon Pattern Stones above were all dug clean, and the surrounding rock walls were uneven.

Open the panel.

Source Energy Points: 27.

Looking at the numbers on the blue light screen, he was overjoyed.

It had been less than an hour, and there was such a big harvest; there must be more Moon Pattern Stones behind.

He did not hesitate and continued to dig toward the interior of the mountain.

This time he must dig enough spiritual objects to let this exotic beast clone metamorphose its bloodline.

He was very expectant about what kind of magical changes would happen after the metamorphosis.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."

Inside the cave, it was quiet, with only his digging sound remaining.

The surroundings were pitch black, making people feel a bit scalp-numbing.

Don't know how long it had passed.

Another cool breath came.

"Is there a situation?"

Lu Changsheng's expression moved slightly, and he began to accelerate digging forward.

He had experienced this feeling many times and was no stranger to it; it was clearly the smell emitted by spiritual objects.

A moment later, when he dug to a dark wall, he saw a small stone block ahead emitting a faint glow, which was very magical.

He immediately placed his claw on it.

【Found one block of mid-tier Moon Pattern Stone.】

Note: Ore containing more energy, with few impurities.

"It's actually mid-tier ore."

Lu Changsheng's face brightened with joy, and he hurriedly waved his claws to dig this ore down.

"Absorb."

Muttering in his heart, the ore before his eyes disappeared directly.

"Source Energy Points plus 5."

A crisp prompt sound rang out, making Lu Changsheng directly startled.

"This kind of broken stone provides so much energy?"

This was simply close to some hundred-year spiritual medicines.

You know, every time he collected a hundred-year spiritual medicine, the difficulty was not small, and such spiritual medicine generally had exotic beasts guarding it.

It was not as simple as mining to get it.

At this moment, he just wanted to be a hardworking miner.

If there were higher-tier Moon Pattern Stones inside, wouldn't he have made a fortune? This kind of opportunity was hard to come by.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng's motivation soared, and he began to dig wildly toward the interior of the mountain.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

He just wanted to dig the mountain down quickly and absorb the Moon Pattern Stones inside.

Just as he was digging hard, a sudden change occurred.

From the distant small tunnel entrances, a large group of creatures suddenly surged in, pitch black, extremely dense, making people's hair stand on end.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but stop, looked up, and his face was startled.

He saw giant ant-like creatures rushing toward him wildly.

Each one was the size of a mouse, covered in fire-red armor, with a pair of large fangs on its head, looking extremely fierce.

"What are these things?"

Lu Changsheng dared not be slow; when the other party arrived, he slapped forward with a claw. "Boom, boom, boom..."

A large group of giant ants was directly slapped to death by him, fire-red juice flowing all over the ground.

The group of giant ants behind did not fear at all, but rushed toward him even more fiercely.

【Fire Ant, Tier 1 social creature, Ant Queen is generally a Tier 2 creature, with a few mutated into Tier 3.】

A prompt sound rang out from his mind, making Lu Changsheng understand instantly.

This place must be the nest of the Fire Ant tribe; he had accidentally disturbed the other party while digging wildly.

According to the prompt on the system, there must be an Ant Queen inside, at least a Tier 2 creature.

If there was a Tier 3 mutation, it would be troublesome.

This exotic beast clone of his was currently only Tier 2, just a Pangolin King; if he accidentally broke into the nest of a Tier 3 exotic beast, it would be extremely dangerous.

Thinking of this, his face was somewhat gloomy.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

He slapped forward hard with his double claws, slapping a large number of ant groups to death on the ground; with his strength, dealing with some low-tier exotic beasts was naturally quite easy.

However, he was worried that there was a Tier 3 mutated Ant Queen, which would be dangerous.

Then he fought while slowly retreating backward.

Every time he swung, he left a massive number of corpses on the ground.

The Fire Ant group ahead still pursued relentlessly, as if they wouldn't stop until they killed the intruder.

Half an hour later.

When Lu Changsheng retreated to the cave entrance, the Fire Ant group retreated like a tide.

Soon it dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the space inside the cave was narrow; relying on his own sharp claws and scales, no accident occurred.

He had been quite worried just now; if a Tier 3 Ant Queen blocked him, it would be troublesome.

Seeing that his plan to dig through the mountain was blocked, he had to rethink a countermeasure.

He came to the bottom of a large tree, dug a hole rapidly, drilled in, and lay quietly on the silt, his brain turning rapidly.

According to the scale of this small mountain, there must be quite a few Moon Pattern Stones inside; to give up just like that made him very unwilling.

His own Source Energy Points were lacking, and he just happened to need these spiritual minerals to rise; unless it was a last resort, he would not easily give up.

It was just that he had dug wildly just now, already disturbing the other party, and the orderly retreat of the ant group meant there must be an Ant Queen commanding behind.

If he went to dig again, he would likely be discovered immediately.

Since the idea of digging secretly didn't work, he had to think of another way.

A cup of tea time later.

Lu Changsheng couldn't think of any good countermeasure for the time being, so he chose to come out to catch his breath.

He climbed rapidly to the tree crown, looked at the mountain ahead, and suddenly had an inspiration.

This place was low-lying, the lowest within a radius of dozens of miles, like a small basin.

Most importantly, it was not far from that lake, only about ten miles away.

Since these days, he had been exploring near the lake and hadn't gone far.

Thinking of this, he instantly had a way.

That was to use water attack, to use a trick of flooding the ant nest.

Directly lead the lake water into the basin, turning this place into a small lake; by then, with his own Underwater Breathing skill, he wouldn't be affected at all.

However, those Fire Ants would be miserable; the other party was clearly a fire-attribute creature, and their combat power would definitely be greatly reduced in the cold lake water.

By then, he could easily get his hands on the Moon Pattern Stones in the mountain.

The most important point was that the water of that lake connected to the underground dark river, so there was no need to consider it running dry.

As long as he operated properly, he could completely turn this place into a small lake.

Even if the other party hid on the mountain, it would be useless; he would directly hollow out the mountain, making the ant group all become drowning ants.

Thinking of this, he instantly felt moved.

After hollowing out the spiritual minerals in this mountain, it would be his opportunity to take off.

A moment later, Lu Changsheng put away his thoughts and immediately began to act.

He sprinted rapidly toward the lake direction.

Less than half an hour later, he arrived at the edge of that familiar lake again.

At the bottom of the large tree ahead, the hole he had dug was still there.
