Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 907 Black Algae Mountains
The Lost Continent, East.

Shimmering Plains.

This is, of course, the indigenous people's terminology.

Because the ground of this vast plain is covered with soft, fine sand, it feels very comfortable to walk on barefoot.

On the ground covered with fine sand, you can occasionally see seashells, conches, and minerals, embedded in the sand.

Bathed in sunlight, these tiny, sparkling objects reflected the light, twinkling and shimmering beautifully.

It is named after the shimmering plain.

When this lost continent was submerged under the sea, one can imagine that this place must have been a wide and flat seabed.

The massive fleet of the Imperial Red Sand Territory arrived at the east coast and then sailed off to their respective destinations.

Imperial warships set sail for "Crysos Harbor"—meaning "Golden Bay".

The Imperial Legion, fully loaded on the warships, led by Legion Commander Garius Demetri, had entered the only high ground in the Shimmering Plains—Tefora Giant Claw Mountain.

Mount Giant Claw is home to an Imperial military camp, as well as Tefra, the main city of the Red Sand Territory in the New World!
Tefra was also one of the twelve important strongholds of the Empire's colonization of the New World.

The privateer fleets of various nobles, on the other hand, went to land at various civilian ports.

The noble lords sat in their carriages, while their privateers acted as overseers, brandishing whips and ordering large numbers of laborers to transport various supplies to their respective territories.

As a silver-medal gladiator, Bai Pu was honored to serve as the foreman—he also had several bronze-medal gladiators overseeing the work.

The team marched on, taking seven hours, and finally arrived at the stronghold located at the western end of the Shimmering Plains.

New Iron City.

After a brief respite in New Ironforge, Karamango convened a gladiator council.

It was called a meeting, but it was really just Karamango giving a one-sided presentation on the New World and then assigning tasks.

The stingy boss pointed at the hanging map, spitting as he spoke:

"Look, this is where we are now, New Iron City!"
"To the east is the Shimmering Plains, the place we passed through on our way here! It's just a barren wasteland of pure sand, and we didn't find any decent magic crystal veins. Fortunately, there aren't any powerful monsters there, so it's a good place for transporting and distributing logistical supplies."

"To the southeast is the 'Coral Rift Valley,' with huge coral reefs... quite beautiful, it initially caused a sensation in the Empire. Unfortunately, coral is only for ornamental purposes and has no practical use; once there are too many, it loses even its value as a collectible."

"There are some stone elemental creatures and shallow magic crystal veins in Coral Rift. Soth, take a few men and escort the prospecting team to explore! Report back to me immediately if you find any rich veins."

Silver-medal gladiator "The Devil" Soscolat rose and nodded silently.

Karamango continued:

"We come from the east side of the continent. The further west we go, the closer we get to the center of the new continent! And the closer we get to the central area, the higher the danger level, but the higher the purity of the magic crystals."

"To the southwest lies the 'Sea Anemone Forest,' where broad-leaved sea anemones originally grew, some tens of meters tall. Perhaps due to exposure to sunlight, these broad-leaved sea anemones quickly hardened, becoming as solid as stone!"
"This Anemone Forest is inhabited by all sorts of monsters, as well as a Naga tribe we call the 'Stone Spear Naga.' It's dangerous here, but it's also incredibly rich in magic crystal veins—it's filthy rich! Zenes, take some men to explore it."

"Blood Spear" Zenes agreed.

Karamanco then assigned the tasks to several places, some to silver-medal gladiators and others to senior bronze-medal gladiators.

Finally, Karamango's gaze fell on Bai Pu. "Steel Heart, I'm sending you to the Northwest... There's a mountain range covered in black seaweed, called the 'Black Seaweed Mountains'."

Karamango said with a smile, "That place does smell a bit bad, and there's some poisonous gas... but I haven't heard of any particularly powerful monsters there. With your strength, you shouldn't be in any danger in the Black Algae Mountains."

"Am I going to explore the Black Algae Mountains... or am I going to conduct research?" Bai Pu asked.

"The Black Algae Mountains already have proven mineral deposits; it's a coveted rich mine, and the main vein has already been allocated to the Dmitri family."

Karamango said, "The Dmitri family's mine is located at the junction of the Tefra Giant Claw Mountain and the Black Algae Mountain Range... Although many people believe that this is the only valuable vein in the Black Algae Mountain Range, I firmly believe that there is another vein further west, which, in terms of grade and reserves, is absolutely no less than the Tefra mine!"

"Steelheart, I want you to lead a team to explore further west of the Black Algae Mountains. We must find new mineral veins!"

"Whoever finds the ore vein first will be responsible for the mining and protection of the local mining area. All the magic crystals produced from the mining area under your responsibility will be counted as your contribution! Steelheart, I've found you a good location. As long as you find the ore vein I mentioned... hehe, I believe you'll be the first to fulfill the promise of 'ten thousand magic crystals'."

The other silver-medal gladiators all had a burning gleam in their eyes.

After all, the boss said that whoever hands over 10,000 magic crystals first will have the opportunity to be promoted to a gold-medal gladiator.

Bai Pu nodded obediently, but inwardly he was quite unconvinced. He had already experienced the boss's "generosity" and "integrity" firsthand.

The opportunity to become a gold medal gladiator is nothing but a pie in the sky he's making up!

"Lord Karamango, why are you so certain that there are rich mines to the west of the Black Algae Mountains?" Bai Pu began to probe for mission information.

“Of course I have my own intelligence channels,” Karamango said confidently. “Steelheart, you just need to follow orders.”

……

Bai Pu, carrying the bronze badges of the indigenous Iron Spine Baron and the bronze badges of the awakened "Melting Arm" Bart, escorted the exploration team as they headed northwest.

Major General Bart said in a low voice, "Steelheart, I have a feeling that Karamango is trying to fool you."

Which aspect are you referring to?

“All aspects”.

Major General Bart scoffed, "For example, the news that there are rich mines west of the Black Algae Mountains... Is this news really credible? If there were rich mines in the west, the Dmitri family would have occupied them long ago! They have the Imperial Vanguard Legion backing them up, and the legion commander is the Dmitri family's son-in-law!"

"This news must be fake."

Bai Pu said calmly, "If the news is true, Karamango will take his own men and do it quietly. He won't make a big fuss and let all the gladiators know about it."

"Then why did he do it?" Major General Bart was confused.

"Whatever his purpose is, I will just do what I have to do."

In Bai Pu's hand appeared a bone bottle. He opened the stopper and took out a piece of paper made of fish scales.

The paper was covered with lines of tadpole-like characters that I couldn't recognize at all.

"First, we need to decipher the contents of this coded bottle!"
