C716 The Formation Was Closed
After an unknown period of time, the marquis woke up from his daze. He found that the ground was shaking, as if there were two ancient gods fighting in the distance, and the energy ripples they released wanted to destroy all living beings that were close to them.
"What realm is Young Master Shen at? How could he be captured to be a laborer when he's so strong? The person I wish to become in my dreams actually calls me brother..."
He subconsciously sensed the storage ring hanging around his neck and discovered that the two Devil Jades inside were completely undamaged. This area was too turbulent. He hesitated for a moment. Then, he got up from the ground and ran toward the entrance according to his instincts...
After they entered the depths of the mining area, they separated from the main group. Now that they were on their way back, they did not encounter any resistance or danger. Two days later, they finally returned to the entrance of the formation.
"Eh? Someone has returned so quickly. It's still early from the appointed time!"
The Deification Cultivator guarding the array sensed that someone was approaching and suddenly opened its eyes. There was a trace of doubt in its eyes. It had also climbed up from the bottom. Logically speaking, the laborer had to persist until the last moment. Only then did he return with his harvest.
"Sir, not all laborers are so brave. Every year, there are some cowardly people who are afraid of death. They would rather take the risk of not completing the mission and being killed than go deep into the mining area to reclaim the Devil Jade mine."
The supervisor at the side felt the officer's doubt and whispered into his ear.
"Oh? My subordinates don't raise trash. Come with me and see which audacious person dares to come back without following the stipulated time."
A cold lightning flashed across Deification Cultivator's eyes. All the supervisors beside him lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
He formed a few hand seals and a light flashed through the formation. A miserable figure appeared on the high platform. It was the Royal Noble who had escaped for two days.
"Kid, how dare you not return at the stipulated time? Are you courting death?"
A cold snort exploded in Wang Hou's ears and turned into a clap of thunder. He was so tired that he was about to faint, but after hearing this, he forced himself to hand over the storage ring.
"Perfect grade Devil Jade..."
After the supervisor used the spiritual force to examine it, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. This Devil Jade Ancient Mine had been mined for thousands of years. In the recent few hundred years, the perfect grade Devil Jade production was very rare. Although there were not many in the storage ring, each supervisor could get a reward from the Spirit Stone!
"So that's how it is. You have made a great contribution. I will inform the higher-ups and bring this kid down to rest. Take good care of him."
After the Deification Cultivator obtained the storage ring, its expression immediately became much friendlier. He did not care where these few pieces of Devil Jades came from. The higher ups attached great importance to these high grade Devil Jades. He was the overall person-in-charge of this operation, so naturally, the benefits he obtained would not be little.
"Sir, I..."
The marquis wanted to ask for help, after all, when he was escaping, Shen Qingfeng was still fighting with the monster in the forbidden area, but after thinking about it, if he told the truth, it would be the same as exposing Shen Qingfeng's privacy. What was the purpose of a high-level cultivator sneaking into the depths of the mining area?
"What? What else is there?"
"No... Thank you for your advice, my lord..."
"Take him away!"
"[Yes!]"
...
By the time Wang Hou escaped safely, the battle in the restricted area had already ended. A huge Alligator's corpse fell to the ground, and a handsome man sat on it. His shirt was torn, and the muscles that had erupted like a horned dragon had already calmed down. From his appearance, it could be seen that he was a harmless handsome man.
This battle had injured him, but the self-healing ability of his divine body that had been tempered by the War God Art was extremely powerful. It didn't take long for him to recover.
"How did this Devil Jade Ancient Mine come to be? How could an alligator with no special bloodline grow to such an extent? It's a pity that this isn't the Mortal Realm. Otherwise, this scale could be used to forge several useful magic treasures."
After Shen Qingfeng woke up, he studied the dead monster for a long time. He became more and more curious about the source of the devil Qi. After looking at the map of Wang Hou, he felt that there was something wrong with the arrangement of the forbidden areas in the mining area. It seemed to be sealing something.
"The demonic energy here is endless. If I use this heaven-defying demonic transformation, will I be able to break the seal left behind by a quasi emperor?"
The moment this thought appeared, it could not be stopped growing crazily. There were no other monster in the restricted area for the time being. He found a place with dense Devil Qi to cultivate and unknowingly, a month had passed...
The formation had long been shut down, and more than fifty percent of the laborers that had fallen in the depths of Ancient Mine had actually fallen. The remaining people were punished for not completing their mission, but the Soul Formation cultivator in charge of this operation wasn't worried at all. After sealing the formation with his men, he left in a hurry to report to his superiors.1
After Wang Hou handed over the storage ring, he was taken to the ground and arranged a place to stay. The living conditions were much better than those of the supervisors.
These arrangements were specially arranged by the leader of the Soul Formation Stage. Wang Hou's cultivation potential was very good. After he was trained by the higher ups in the future, he might become his ally. This could be considered as an early investment.
