Chapter 1057: Chaos Abroad

A whistle sounded from the side, and the remaining five guards reached toward their waists; they were going to draw their guns.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, what should we do?" Yu Qiao was pale with fright. These people were ruthless when they turned vicious; they didn't care about their own lives, and they wouldn't care who you were either.

Chen Yu sneered and walked toward them. Before they could fire, a strand of Sword Qi had already formed and struck toward the five men.

Bang, bang, bang... Five figures flew high into the air, then landed heavily in the mud by the river; fresh blood stained the area.

Seeing this, the stowaways swarmed over, swept away all the money in the guards' hands, and then scattered in a flurry.

No one would be bored enough to report this to the police; after all, this was abroad, and it was possible that after reporting it, you wouldn't even be able to walk out of their police station.

Chen Yu felt a bit of emotion. He had never been to a chaotic country before and didn't know what this place was like. Only after coming here today did he realize how fortunate it was to be born in Huaxia.

Back home, if you have any trouble, you can call the police for help, and our respectable police officers will definitely help you solve the problem. But abroad, these people wearing a uniform will suck you dry.

A whistle had already sounded in a guard room on the shore, and a group of people came running toward this side.

"Mr. Chen, let's go quickly. It will be very troublesome if these people arrive." Yu Qiao urged hurriedly.

Chen Yu nodded slightly and left this place with Yu Sichen.

In truth, Chen Yu didn't take these people seriously, but on second thought, it wouldn't be very good to slaughter an entire guard station the moment he arrived in S Jing, so he left.

By this time, the sky was already beginning to brighten. Dedu City was clearly the most prosperous place in S Country. Although it resembled some small counties back home, it had all the necessary living facilities.

Yu Qiao was also familiar with this country. He went straight to the largest hotel in the city and rented two long-term rooms.

"Mr. Chen, this place is not like back home. Although the hotel conditions are average, it is already the best hotel here. Please make do with it, you and your wife," Yu Qiao said.

"Fine." Chen Yu had no requirements for accommodation, but Yu Sichen, upon hearing the word "wife," had a flash of secret joy on her face.

Chen Yu took Yu Sichen up to the hotel. The hotel was over ten stories high and was already the tallest building in the vicinity. It was called a luxury hotel, but looking at the furnishings inside, it was no better than some budget hotels back home.

"Will you rest for a while?" Chen Yu asked Yu Sichen.

"Yes, are you going out?" Yu Sichen asked.

"The sky is almost bright, I'll go out and familiarize myself with the environment here," Chen Yu said.

"I won't go. With this face, it's easy to attract trouble in a place like this," Yu Sichen smiled slightly. "Besides, after killing the Dragon Maiden, I feel a strand of Dark Power in my body that is out of control."

"What's going on?" Chen Yu frowned and concernedly grabbed her wrist. "Let me see."

Yu Sichen obediently extended her wrist to let Chen Yu take her pulse.

Chen Yu held her wrist for a long time before letting go. "There is indeed a strand of Dark Power rampaging inside your body, but it's not a big problem. You are now in the realm of Buddha Face Buddha Heart; you only need to rest and regulate your breathing, and with Meditation, you should be able to suppress it very soon."

"Yes, I know. This might be a sliver of consciousness from that Dragon Maiden's clone. She was killed just after arriving in the human world, so she might be unwilling to let go. I will ferry her soul," Yu Sichen smiled faintly.

"The hotel has room service. People here generally speak Huaxia language. If you're hungry, just call for food," Chen Yu said.

"I know, but my Meditation could take several days, so I won't need to eat," Yu Sichen said.

"Then I'll give instructions not to let anyone disturb you," Chen Yu smiled.

Chen Yu closed the door and casually set up a small Array outside. If any person with special abilities tried to force their way in, Chen Yu would definitely know.

After going downstairs, Chen Yu gave instructions that no one was allowed to open the door, and then he went out.

"Mr. Chen, I have already contacted a few friends. There is a mine nearby that is a quarry. The kind of Spirit Stone you mentioned before has been mined out of there."

Yu Qiao was already waiting outside the door. "Let's eat something first, then go to the trading market in front of the quarry to take a look. Maybe we can find something there."

"Good, let's go take a look first." Chen Yu nodded, then looked at him and said, "You said you know Zakeer? Is that true?"

"This..." Yu Qiao showed an embarrassed expression. "I don't know him. I was just trying to scare the other party when we were on the boat."

"I just knew you were unreliable," Chen Yu snorted.

"It was for self-preservation. However, I do have friends who work for Zakeer, but Zakeer's territory is not here. Still, he has a temporary outpost here, and I can introduce you," Yu Qiao said.

"Let's go to the quarry first," Chen Yu said. "I want to see if that kind of thing really exists here."

"Good, let's go over first." Yu Qiao hurriedly led Chen Yu.

The two of them ate something casually by the roadside and then rushed to the quarry. Transportation in this place was inconvenient, though there were plenty of motorcycles.

Moreover, once they left the suburbs, there were no paved roads, only dirt roads, and the dirt roads were rugged and uneven.

After arriving at the place and paying the fare, they climbed over several small hills that the motorcycle tricycles couldn't cross, and finally arrived at a large quarry.

"We're here, Mr. Chen. This place is managed by my friend. His name is Qiao An. Several large quarries nearby are his, and he also has a large share in that Jade trading market. He has a lot of influence locally," Yu Qiao smiled.

"Yes, there is an aura of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power here. You were right; one can indeed find Spirit Stones here." Chen Yu closed his eyes, and after a moment, he opened them with some joy.

This mine did indeed contain Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, and it was very dense. One must know that in the modern era where Spiritual Energy is scarce, this was almost impossible.

From this, it could be seen that there must be many Spirit Stones beneath the mine. This was a surprise that Chen Yu had not expected.

"Haha, as long as there is what Mr. Chen is looking for, that's all that matters. This way, Mr. Chen." Yu Qiao laughed loudly and led Chen Yu into the quarry.

At the entrance, slag trucks were constantly hauling out waste material. This was waste rock that had been mined; after being inspected and confirmed to contain no Jade, it was hauled out and dumped.

Furthermore, the entrance was fitted with wire fencing, and several people holding shotguns were standing guard.

This time, Yu Qiao was truly not bragging. His friend named Qiao An did indeed have significant local influence. To say nothing else, just this stretch of mines could not be operated without a certain amount of power.
