1899: A Mine

A Mine

The naughty Miss Qiao: … 1

She silently peered at the speechless expressions of the two men beside her.

"Cough." Miss Qiao retracted her fair and tender hand as she clarified in earnest, "I didn't do it on purpose."

Mo Lian and Feng Chen exchanged gazes and decided to treat Qiaoqiao's words as a joke and laugh it off…

It wasn't until they waited for all the monstrous fishes to jump out from the round hole and into the water that Qiao Mu poked her head inside to survey it. She then beckoned toward the two. "Let's go inside."

She jumped inside through the round hole.

Mo Lian quickly followed and pulled her to his side. He then squeezed her slightly chilly hand.

A crimson flame danced in his palm as he used fire spiritual energy to evaporate the water from the little fellow's legs. Only after that did he dry himself off, as well.

After walking along a bluestone-paved path for a bit, they could indistinctly make out a ray of light.

Qiao Mu quickly walked in while holding Mo Lian's hand.

This place was most likely the side palace of this underground tomb, but the dancing candlelight showed that the space was completely empty.

Qiao Mu communicated mentally with the water child before striding forward.

After passing through this side palace, they entered a stone room engraved with countless murals.

Qiao Mu stood in the center of this room and stomped the ground lightly. "Is there a way to dig quietly?"

She didn't want to attract You Xin and company over here with the sound they made.

Even though she would still be able to claim all the black spirit jade, it would nevertheless be troublesome to do anything extra!

Mo Lian nodded, and a cluster of black flames landed on the ground. It started smoldering and burning.

As an existence that could incinerate all things, sacred fire naturally melted the bluestone.

After several seconds, a deep pit had already formed in the ground from the blazing flames.

Qiao Mu reached out, and the transparent water child wrapped around her fingers. It then jumped around like an elf before hopping into the deep pit, transforming into a drop of water before slowly seeping into the depths of the earth.

Soon, the water child's joyous voice resounded through her conscious pool. "Masta, Masta, I see it! The black spirit jade mine."

"Very good. Gather it all into Paradise Planet."

"But Masta, this black spirit jade mine is buried under the ground, so if I take them all away at once, this entire underground area will cave in. This half of a tomb will probably get destroyed too."

Even so, Qiao Mu nodded. "Gather them all!"

She feared no danger as long as the sapling could recover.

Besides, this tomb wouldn't collapse all at once from the enormity of its size. There would be time for them to escape in the process.

"Alrighty, Masta! You get ready!"

Little Water piped up and then set out to gather this black spirit jade mine under the ground.

It was excited. This black spirit jade mine should be more than enough for the sapling to absorb freely.

As the minutes and seconds passed by, the water child finally gathered the entire mine into the Paradise Planet with success.

Without time to check it over, Qiao Mu directly yanked the water child back into Paradise Planet before pulling along Mo Lian while telling Feng Chen, "Let's go."

Just as the three people left the room, they just so happened to bump into Mentor Zhou leading everybody inside.

At this time, he had just followed the disheveled students from Sunlight Academy.

Just as they met up, everybody could feel the earth shaking, and they struggled to steady themselves.

"What's going on?" Zhou Danjin's expression changed.

"Go." Qiao Mu turned around and cut to the chase, leading everyone to run out.
