Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 807: Plundering the Mineral Veins
Zhang Haoran watched Su Xiao's figure disappear outside the treasure house. He was really impressed. The treasure house was right in front of him, but he resisted the temptation and only took action after asking about all the situations. This avoided any accidents.

Sure enough, details determine success or failure!
He said with emotion: "As expected of a hunter from Samsara Paradise, he does things so flawlessly!

Okay, I know what to do, and it should still be in time to act now.

But don't expect to stay undetected. The palace is a large treasury with more rules than here."

Zhang Haoran also knew that he was indeed not cautious enough.

However, this cannot be blamed on him, as he has never had this kind of experience before, right?

In the past, when he encountered a treasure trove, he would steal if he could, and rob if he couldn't. At worst, he would fight the enemy and then walk away.

But Su Xiao is a hunter in the paradise. If he didn't pay attention to these details, he would have been killed long ago.

The two people are in different environments, so of course their methods of doing things will be different.

Now Zhang Haoran also knows what to do. He will be able to do it by following others’ example.

"Well! I hope it's not too late!"

Some things may not be difficult to do as long as you can think of them.

In fact, it is much easier for him to do this kind of thing than Su Xiaoke.

There is no need for any props at all. Just spread your mental power over and use the tricky sword technique to complete the operation just now.
Zhang Haoran asked curiously again: "Where did you get that spoon? It feels very familiar to me."

Su Xiao said lightly: "This is called the psychological spoon! It can be used to give psychological hints to strong people below the fourth level."

"Psychological Spoon? It's a magical item! Where did you get it?"

"I bought it at the trading square. It's a very good item, but it's only a third-level item. It's useless against a fourth-level warrior."

Zhang Haoran said as a matter of course: "Of course! When it comes to the fourth level, it involves the laws. No one would use precious materials to make these fancy things."

The Needle of Desire that he had used before was also a third-level item.

If a fourth-tier item had such powerful functions, it would definitely sell for a sky-high price.

The reason why Zhang Haoran felt this thing was familiar was because he also had a similar item. To be precise, it was an item from the same world, the Guardian Badge.

I don’t know whether Comrade Tank has been resurrected, or if there is another time traveler who has gone to the mysterious world?
He seldom goes to the trading market recently and is not familiar with these situations.

Although Zhang Haoran does not have the psychological spoon, he can use the tricky sword to guide his thinking, and the effect is similar.

He directly used his mental power to cover all the guards outside the treasure house and guided their thoughts at the same time.

Without the obstruction of formations, his mental power could cover the entire imperial city.

Zhang Haoran followed Su Xiao's example and told the guards outside the treasury to think that they had already communicated with the guards inside and there was nothing unusual every time.

And this time he did it more thoroughly, so that no matter what the guards found, they would think it was normal and there was no need to report it to their superiors.

Arranged the guards for the treasure houses.

He also invaded the wills of those guarding outside the Lake of Life.

Tianyu's voice rang in everyone's mind.

“This king needs to be in seclusion for a period of time. No matter what happens, you must not be disturbed.

Even if the Imperial City is invaded, let Li An find a way to solve it himself."

"promise!"

All the guards knelt on one knee in unison and responded loudly.

Under Zhang Haoran's deliberate guidance, the guards all had the same thought in their minds: Lord Tianyu suddenly announced that he would go into seclusion, perhaps he was going to break through to the level of Emperor.

This will be the first emperor demon plant in the royal court. Now that those ancient sects have reappeared in the world and their disciples are traveling around the world, chaos has appeared in the cave.

The battle with humans was not going well, and King Yew died as a result. In these troubled times, it would be a great thing if the Tianyu Guardian could break through to the Emperor.

To be honest, without the Emperor in charge, everyone felt uneasy.

Zhang Haoran was also looking for a reasonable excuse to plunder the mineral veins. To break through to the Emperor level, energy is definitely needed.

In this way, even if the mineral veins are dug out, causing the surrounding energy concentration to decrease, it will not arouse suspicion.

He flashed and came to the location of the Lake of Life again. This is where ninety-nine mineral veins converge, making it the most convenient place to take action.

Zhang Haoran randomly selected the nearest mineral vein, penetrated into it with his mental power to inspect it, and discovered that the quality of the mineral veins here was much higher than the giant mines in the outside world.

"I thought they were all giant mines, so there shouldn't be much difference. I didn't expect the quality of the ore veins to vary so much."

He had robbed many huge mines and was quite familiar with the situations there.

Generally speaking, the amount of energy stones contained in the giant mine under the royal city is only about one thousand tons, and no more than one thousand two hundred tons.

The energy stones in this vein exceed 1,600 tons, which is more than half that of an ordinary giant mine.

Moreover, the quality of the energy stones in this vein is much higher than that of the giant mines in the outside world. There are no energy crystals in the periphery at all, and the worst is the fifth-grade energy stone.

The core of the mineral vein is all grade nine energy stones, and the proportion they occupy is very high, exceeding fifty percent of the entire mineral vein.

After all, this is a mineral vein that has been cultivated by the top demon plants for thousands of years, so it is not surprising that it has such quality.

The surface of this vein is also covered with a layer of solidified spiritual power, which not only has a certain protective effect, but also can prevent energy from being lost too quickly.

After exploring the situation of the mineral vein, Zhang Haoran had an idea in his mind. He used his mental power to wrap the core of the mineral vein, separating it from the surrounding mineral veins bit by bit.

He moved very carefully, trying not to cause too much vibration.

"Kakaka!"

The sound of breaking continued to be heard!
"Boom!"

An energy stone fell without its support.

“No, I also have to lay down a layer of solidified mental power to support it.

Otherwise, the entire vein will collapse after the core is taken away.

By then, it may not only be the mineral veins that collapse, but even the ground of the imperial city may collapse."

He immediately used his solidified mental power to fill in all the gaps left when separating the core of the mineral vein.

The core mineral vein was separated bit by bit, and when it was completely disconnected from the surrounding ores, he immediately put it into the storage space.

Of course, he did not forget to deploy solidified mental power to support the hollowed-out vein. Zhang Haoran did not take away all the core of the vein, but left 10% to leave a root for the vein.

He sighed in his heart: "I am so kind! Even though it was the enemy's mineral vein, I couldn't bear to see it destroyed, and I even left them roots.

Once this place is discovered, we only need to fill it with Grade Nine Energy Stones and it will become a complete mineral vein again."

"Haha! How about I wait until they have filled it up and then come over to rob it? This is much more convenient than looting everywhere."

If the core of the vein is completely dug out, then the vein will be completely useless and can only be used to mine energy stones.

Now that 10% of the core is left, this vein of minerals can still last for a while. As long as it is replenished with ninth-grade energy stones and the demon plants are cultivated, it will recover soon.

Zhang Haoran will become the master of the world in the future, and all the mineral veins will belong to him. It would be a pity if such a huge mine of excellent quality were to be abandoned.

Although only 90% of the core was taken away, the amount of ninth-grade energy stones harvested reached 700 tons.

Moreover, if a part of the core of the mineral vein is left behind, it can continue to emit energy, making it less likely to be discovered by others. The time gained can allow him to plunder more mineral veins.

Zhang Haoran's kindness not only saved these mineral veins, but also allowed him to gain more benefits. It can be said that he had the best of both worlds.

He carefully sensed the energy concentration around him and found that there was no change at all.

There are ninety-nine giant mines in the imperial city. Only the core of one vein has disappeared, and not all of them. It is normal that the energy concentration has not decreased.

He used his solidified mental power to block the exit of this mineral vein connecting to the Lake of Life.

The exit was opened here to make it easier for Tianyu to extract energy from the mineral veins. Now that it is blocked, the energy will be dissipated more slowly and the mine can last longer.

Then Zhang Haoran started to work on the next huge mine.

With the experience from last time, digging out the core of the vein was easier this time. Every time a part of the vein was separated, he would immediately replenish it with solidified mental power.

Without having to worry about the collapse of the vein, more mental power could be mobilized. In just a few minutes, a vein was easily dealt with without even causing much vibration.

This time he still only took away 90% of the core of the ore vein.

He sensed it again and found that the energy concentration around him remained unchanged.

"Eh! This is really strange. I have dug out the cores of two mineral veins, but the energy concentration has not changed at all.

What is going on here? "

After careful investigation, it was discovered that the core of the mineral vein left behind played a key role in maintaining the energy concentration here.

And it looks like it can last for quite a while. This is mainly because the quality of these mineral veins is high enough, and those seventh and eighth grade energy stones are also providing energy continuously.

Perhaps the 90% of cores he dug out were not originally responsible for providing energy.

"Haha, this is great! It seems that we won't be discovered in the short term due to the drop in energy concentration!"

Since he doesn't have to worry about being discovered, he can act even more recklessly!

Zhang Haoran released his mental power and began to operate the two veins at the same time. This operation was still very smooth.

Since there is no problem, just go for it!
Then, he began to dig at the fastest speed. The core of the mineral veins were dug out one after another. Each mineral vein core provided seven or eight hundred tons of grade nine energy stones. Looking at the rapidly increasing energy stones in the storage space, he was in a good mood.

"Hey! This is much easier than robbing a treasury."

His current concept is basically the same as Su Xiao's. A lot of those other messy resources have been collected, enough for humans to use for a while.

A life lake was taken away before, and now there is no shortage of life essence. The only thing is that hard currency such as energy stones that can be exchanged for value points, the more the better.

As more and more mineral cores are excavated and the techniques become more skilled, the speed of excavation is also constantly increasing.

Ten, eleven, fifteen...

When he had just collected the eighteenth vein of ore, there was a commotion in the palace. It seemed that someone had discovered that the treasure house had been stolen.

"That's not right. I have already done some mind guidance. How come it was discovered so quickly?"

He didn't expect to be able to keep it secret forever, but it was still a bit unexpected that it was discovered so quickly.

Zhang Haoran investigated curiously and immediately understood what was going on. He and Su Xiao only thought about the issue of guarding and had not considered any unexpected situations.

In fact, this is not a surprise, but an inevitable result. Many true gods died in the previous wars, and many gods who entered the king's battle land also died.

According to the rules of the cave, one's strength determines his wealth. Once he is too greedy, he will bring disaster upon himself.

Therefore, after the death of the true gods and generals of many families, they had to hand over most of their wealth to the Demon King's Court to seek refuge. Now, a descendant of a true god has handed over a large amount of resources.

The guards transporting resources and the guards outside the treasury were not in the same group. The result was predictable. Once the treasury was opened and found empty, they would naturally sound the alarm.

However, it is almost inevitable that such a thing will happen. After all, so many true gods and generals have fallen. During this period of time, there will definitely be many people contributing resources and seeking shelter.

"Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I would have come a few days later and could have harvested more resources."

In fact, it doesn’t make much difference. Those resources that were not handed over in time were snatched away by Su Xiao, and no outsiders got any benefit.

Since something went wrong with one treasure house, it was only a matter of time before the other treasure houses were discovered.

Zhang Haoran immediately called out his three clones and asked them to work together.

The clone's mental power is only one kilohertz, so it's a little difficult to perform such a large-scale operation, but as long as you go slower, there shouldn't be any problem.

He shared his experience with the three clones and reminded them solemnly: "You can only dig out 90% of the core at most, and you must leave some roots for the mineral veins.

Otherwise, this mineral vein will be wasted, and it will be our own wealth in the future.

Moreover, by doing so, the surrounding energy concentration will not decrease, and more time can be bought.

When you separate the core of the vein, be careful and use more solidified mental power to fill it. Once the vein collapses, the noise will be too loud. "

The clone's mental strength can be replenished by the system, and the strength is sufficient, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Moreover, the three clones can work together to dig three veins of minerals at the same time.

It's not much slower than if he did it himself.

Zhang Haoran now also needs to monitor the situation outside and try to buy more time. In case any evidence is inadvertently left behind when looting the treasury, he can kill and silence the witnesses.

In fact, what he didn't know was that his previous act of kindness laid the foundation for these mineral veins, but afterwards cleared humans of suspicion.

The attitude of human warriors towards the cave people has always been to kill them all and eradicate them completely. They will take away everything they can, and destroy everything they cannot take away. They would rather not get it themselves than leave it to the enemy.
