I have a city in another world

The mine tunnels were dark and filthy, with various tools and items scattered around, and a thick layer of dust piled up on the ground.

The spider webs in the corners were so thick that they even blocked the entire mine tunnel.

This situation is sufficient proof that no one has entered the mine since it collapsed.

After walking a distance, we saw skeletons, their waists pinned down by collapsed rocks.

Now only the stark white bones, tattered clothing, and various personal belongings remain.

There is a small pouch on the ground, made from the eggshell of a male deer, which was used by gold prospectors to store gold.

Tang Zhen picked it up and felt its weight. After opening it, he found it was half a bag of gold dust.

If you take it out to smelt and sell it, you should be able to make a lot of money.

But now, the gold dust that we've worked so hard to collect is just being carelessly thrown on the ground.

It's truly a tragic thing to have the life to earn money but not the life to spend it.

Instead of using spatial equipment, put the pockets away in your backpack.

To avoid being located and tracked by the enemy again by accident.

Before leaving the Astral Plane, Tang Zhen must not use magic lightly unless absolutely necessary.

Following the passage, it didn't take long before a fork in the road appeared.

According to the book, Tang Zhen chose the left passage and walked in without hesitation.

Just then, footsteps came from the entrance of the mine; it must have been the group of gold prospectors who had chased after them.

Tang Zhen ignored them and continued walking as if these gold prospectors didn't exist.

As they continued forward, the air became increasingly thinner, while the harmful gases became increasingly concentrated.

Tang Zhen took out a gas mask from his backpack and put it on his head. At the same time, he took out a flashlight-like lighting tool.

When the lights came on, Tang Zhen suddenly noticed a pair of eyes staring at him from the corner.

It was a lizard, only a little over a foot long, but its eyes were quite eerie.

It seemed as if someone was hiding inside the lizard's body, silently watching Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen remained expressionless and continued walking forward, as if he hadn't seen anything.

The lizard in the shadows watched Tang Zhen's retreating figure, its eyes flashing several times.

Then it twisted its body and squeezed into the cracks in the wall to continue catching insects and ants to fill its belly.

Tang Zhen's expression grew even more serious as he walked through the passage, because that lizard was the enemy's surveillance spy.

If he behaves abnormally and happens to be spotted by an informant, the enemy in the distance will immediately know.

The other party will pinpoint Tang Zhen's exact location as quickly as possible and then rush over using various methods.

Having learned his lesson from two previous mistakes, Tang Zhen understood the enemy's methods and was determined not to repeat them.

As they ventured deeper, they saw more bodies along the way, all of whom had died from the gas explosion.

The gold prospectors in this mine were suddenly struck by tragedy and all perished in the dark, sunless tunnels.

As Tang Zhen passed through an area, he suddenly stopped and gently dug at a spot with his pickaxe.

As the rock crumbled, a gold nugget, about the size of a baby's fist, was revealed.

He weighed it in his hand, put it in his pocket, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

This scene was clearly seen by an unknown rodent hidden inside the skull.

As they continued on their way, Tang Zhen stopped in front of a collapsed mine shaft and looked at it carefully.

The spatial rift he was looking for should be behind the collapsed mine shaft, which was also the source of the mining disaster that year.

There was once a cultivator from another world who came to the Astral Plane through a spatial rift. He later advanced to a high-level cultivator and recorded this event in his biography.

Tang Zhen obtained this biography by chance and learned about the spatial rift.

With the passage of time, Tang Zhen could no longer be certain whether that spatial rift still existed.

The verification method is very simple: just dig open the collapsed passage.

Without further ado, Tang Zhen wielded his pickaxe and began digging and clearing the area with great effort.

Although they cannot use magic, they can display martial arts techniques and exhibit superhuman strength.

As dust billowed and collapsed rocks were cleared away, the hidden passage gradually came into view. When a hole large enough for a person to crawl through appeared before Tang Zhen, a faint spatial fluctuation followed.

Tang Zhen was overjoyed and quickly crawled inside.

Not long after, violent spatial fluctuations occurred, followed by a loud explosion.

With violent tremors, the mine collapsed once again.

At the same time, dozens of lizards emerged from different places, their eyes gleaming with an eerie light, and rushed toward the collapsed cave at top speed.

They squeezed into the crevices, skirting the fallen rocks, trying to get into the interior of the mine.

Half an hour later, a teardrop-shaped private spaceship appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the mine.

A large group of gold prospectors guarding the cave entrance, who wanted to seize the place and intercept Tang Zhen, stared in disbelief as the spaceship landed.

Before the spaceship's hatch could be seen opening, a dozen figures suddenly emerged, coldly staring at the group of gold prospectors.

"Your Mightiness……"

The leader of the gold prospectors gave a fawning smile, but after uttering just two words, his expression turned to fear.

One of the figures raised an arm, from which more than a dozen slender black tentacles emerged.

It burrowed into the gold prospector's forehead, sucked out his brains, and then withdrew.

"It is very likely Tang Zhen."

Seemingly savoring the taste of brains, the monk revealed a look of disgust, then informed his companion in a chilling voice.

A group of cultivators moved with lightning speed, disappearing into the inner passage of the gold mine, while many lizards and rats scurried across to guide them.

Not long afterward, they arrived at the front of the collapsed mine shaft.

As the cultivators approached, the scattered stones of various sizes on the ground automatically floated up, revealing the blocked and sealed mine tunnel.

A group of cultivators entered and, sensing the residual spatial fluctuations, all revealed grim expressions.

"Damn it, he got away again!"

The cultivator's face was filled with anger, as well as helplessness and resentment.

"Can we pinpoint his location and see where he went?"

Another figure spoke up; it was a demigod cultivator who had been defeated by Tang Zhen and nearly lost his life.

"There's no way to pinpoint his location. He's already left the Astral Plane, and we don't know where he's gone."

Knowing the answer, the cultivators became even more depressed.

Despite the elaborate trap, Tang Zhen still managed to escape and left the Star Realm for an unknown place.

The difficulty of capturing and killing them would increase exponentially.

"If we ask that person for help, is there still no way to locate it..."

Some people, feeling resentful, couldn't help but offer suggestions.

The items Tang Zhen possessed, along with the alluring inheritance, were the reasons behind their adventurous actions.

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Some things, once started, must be pursued to the end.

Otherwise, instead of getting the opportunity, you might create a powerful enemy because of this, which would be truly frustrating.

"Be careful what you say. This is our own business and has nothing to do with anything else."

A cultivator spoke out in warning, clearly out of fear and a desire not to be detected by certain powerful beings.

Clearly, there are powerful entities involved behind this matter, but it should absolutely not be mentioned casually.

"What should we do then? Should we just give up like this?"

One of the cultivators, his face full of resentment, asked again.

"Definitely not. It won't be long before we find out where he went."

The cultivator who answered spoke with confidence, as if he had already figured out Tang Zhen.

"That's good!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators felt a weight lifted from their hearts and their faces showed expressions of relief.

This matter concerns the path to godhood; they will undoubtedly go without hesitation, and there is absolutely no reason for them to retreat. (End of Chapter)
