Chapter 60: Another Use For The Yin Marshal
At the same time, Old Brother Mo had already taken out the mechanical drill and begun excavating one of the wealth points.
However, the excavation spot was a bit off-center.
Rumble…
The mechanical drill wrapped around Old Brother Mo’s arm crushed the rock layers, and finally, a corner of rare ore was visible in the rock wall.
“Dark Yin Essence Iron? It looks like a pretty big chunk.”
After mining the ore, Old Brother Mo was very satisfied.
“Let me give it a try?”
Wu Xian eagerly eyed another wealth point and released Brother Pillar to help.
Although the space in the mine was quite large, it was still a bit cramped for Brother Pillar.
Old Brother Mo was wondering why Wu Xian had released Brother Pillar when he saw Brother Pillar firing point shots with a laser gun in one hand and chiseling with an energy battle axe in the other, his technique incredibly professional.
The excavation efficiency was countless times faster than his crappy drill.
“Whoa, Brother Pillar has this function too?”
Old Brother Mo was dumbfounded on the spot and hurriedly released his own Brother Pillar, trying to excavate the mine rock wall, getting more and more excited the more he dug.
This money was damn well spent!
The next second, he was once again stunned by the commotion from Wu Xian’s side.
Wu Xian’s side had actually dug out a piece of Dark Yin Essence Iron too, but according to his experience, that area didn’t seem like it hid rare ore.
“It’s really there?” Wu Xian feigned surprise and offered flattering remarks, “As expected of a professional ore prospector, your eye is so sharp!”
“…”
Old Brother Mo looked a bit embarrassed.
Then, he controlled Brother Pillar to excavate another mine point, successfully harvesting the second piece of Dark Yin Essence Iron.
But what he didn’t expect was that Wu Xian, who was digging randomly nearby, had also dug up a second piece of Dark Yin Essence Iron.
“No way~ How did you spot that there was ore here?” Old Brother Mo asked incredulously.
“Feeling,” Wu Xian said mysteriously, “I just felt like the rock layer patterns and direction here were off.”
Old Brother Mo was stunned for a long time, “Could it be that you’re naturally cut out to be an ore prospector?”
“Mainly because Old Brother teaches well.”
“…”
They continued deeper into the intricate mine, where the Ghost King devoured little ghosts along the way, unknowingly advancing to two and a half stars.
However, the mine ahead made 【Ghost King】 gradually alert.
“Be careful, that area ahead previously produced Thunder Fiend Stone, and people often come this way to try their luck,” Old Brother Mo warned seriously: “Moreover, the abyssal monsters here are quite powerful.”
No sooner had he spoken than the exorcism totem in Old Brother Mo’s chest pocket began glowing intensely.
“Oh no, such a violent reaction from the totem—it’s probably a Tier 4 elite abyssal monster!”
A sinister, terrifying aura instantly filled the entire mine.
Old Brother Mo looked around gravely, while the evil monk—Sha Wanluo—beside him surged with evil energy, his pupils distorting.
A shrill screech assaulted them.
The Silver Scroll Four-Star evil monk Sha Wanluo punched toward the rear.
Boom!
A dark ghost face suddenly appeared, but vanished in an instant.
On Wu Xian’s side, the Monster Suppressing Bell in Ghost King’s hand rang ding-dong, unable to fully suppress the elite abyssal monster but successfully forcing it to reveal its form.
“Nice job!”
Old Brother Mo was overjoyed and immediately controlled the evil monk to charge in head-on.
Streams of eerie “Buddhist Dharma” attacks traded blows with the Tier 4 elite abyssal monster.
Although Ghost King couldn’t devour such a strong abyssal monster, it didn’t mean it lacked fighting power.
Generally speaking, scroll painting rank matches monster tier: Copper Scroll for ordinary monsters, Silver Scroll for elite monsters, Golden Axis for commander monsters, and so on.
【Ghost King】 was only Silver Scroll two and a half stars, but its status was high enough, and the materials used were top-notch.
Moreover, under the boost of Wu Xian’s artistic skill thought process, Ghost King’s five-dimensional ratings were also heaven-defying.
Not to mention the boost from Xue Lingling’s set of divine diagrams behind Ghost King.
With multiple conditions stacked, Ghost King absolutely had the power to fight.
And that’s exactly what happened.
Ghost King’s joining immediately relieved a lot of pressure on the evil monk’s side, its fangs and claws tearing, leaving shocking wounds on the elite abyssal monster.
Keep in mind, abyssal monsters were yin soul spirit bodies, yet now it was torn open like flesh and blood.
This was Ghost King【Tear Soul and Split Spirit】’s talent trait.
“Good grief, hand-tearing yin soul abyssal monsters,” Old Brother Mo watched with gleaming eyes, “If this gets raised up, won’t it just devour abyssal monsters alive?”
The battered elite monster screamed incessantly and charged howling toward Wu Xian.
But suddenly, one black and one white, one tall and one short figures emerged before Wu Xian.
The elite abyssal monster, unable to brake in time, despaired in shock.
White Impermanence swung the Soul Summoning Banner, Black Impermanence slapped on the Soul Restraining Chain, perfectly demonstrating what it meant to walk right into the trap.
Ghost King, catching up ferociously, grabbed the monster’s head and brutally tore off its spirit body head, swallowing it into its ferocious maw, sharing the experience points with Black and White Impermanence.
The experience from the Tier 4 elite monster successfully promoted Black and White Impermanence to three-and-a-half stars.
Looking at Old Brother Mo on the other side, he was already slack-jawed.
“Bro… bro… little brother, tell your brother the truth, you… what exactly are you?”
Old Brother Mo, having roamed the world for so many years, quickly realized Wu Xian was no ordinary spirit tamer.
Wu Xian stopped hiding it, “Consider me a scroll painter, just got the Apprentice Scroll Painter Certificate.”
“No wonder.”
Old Brother Mo was both shocked and suspicious, his gaze and attitude toward Wu Xian clearly changing.
“The capable are teachers; at least in ore prospecting, Old Brother is absolutely a senior.” Wu Xian teased.
This flattered Old Brother Mo a bit; after roaming the world for so many years, it was his first time meeting such an approachable scroll painter.
Other scroll painters were all high and mighty; even art studio scroll painting students acted like they had their tails stuck to their foreheads.
This scroll painter little brother was absolutely a breath of fresh air.
Just then, several figures emerged from deep in the mine, aggressive and hostile.
Clearly drawn by the recent battle.
“Where did these mine rats come from? If you don’t want to die, get lost quick—this isn’t a place for you.”
The leader was arrogant, with Level Five spiritual power cultivation, and the two behind him were also Tier 4 spirit tamers.
Wu Xian frowned, about to retort, but Old Brother Mo kept signaling him with his eyes and pulled him away to retreat.
After walking far, Old Brother Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Those guys are trouble?” Wu Xian asked doubtfully.
“It’s not about trouble or not,” Old Brother Mo explained: “Those guys seem to be the mayor’s people; folks like us commoners better not provoke them.”
“Mayor?”
A strange glint flashed in Wu Xian’s eyes.
He had thought they were some mine boss’s lackeys or a family force’s members, but they turned out to be the mayor’s subordinates.
Not long after, he exited the mine with Old Brother Mo and parted ways.
“It’s still early; I’m going to level up the scrolls in hand. Old Brother, go ahead with your business.”
With that, under Old Brother Mo’s gaze, he drove off in Brother Pillar’s semi-truck.
However, shortly after Old Brother Mo left, Wu Xian doubled back, following the previous scouting route, returning once more to that area hiding Thunder Fiend Stone.
The mayor’s people, huh? Bullying others by flaunting one’s powerful connections, huh?
Today, he’d teach them what it means to bully others by flaunting one’s ghostly connections.
Of course, mainly it was for that rare Thunder Fiend Stone—that stuff was absolute great tonic for the God of Wealth.
“Come come come, Yin Commanders~!”
Wu Xian summoned all three major Yin Commanders in hand like calling troops.
Though controlling four scrolls at once consumed huge spiritual power, with the Laurel Tree’s help, he could maintain it for a while.
Moreover, he had no intention of clashing head-on with them.
Keep in mind, the Yin Commanders not only deterred and suppressed yin soul abyssal monsters but also had command over them.
Sure enough, under White Impermanence’s Soul Summoning Banner “soul summoning” operation, quite a few abyssal monsters had already been “recruited.”
Even a few elite abyssal monsters took interest in this “recruitment.”
Meanwhile, Wasp Marshal and Ghost King organized and commanded the abyssal monsters in the mine, advancing from different directions.
Soon, hundreds and thousands of abyssal monsters converged on those few people’s position; even if they had scrolls like the 【exorcism totem】, it was no use.
After all, the abyssal monsters now were all “acting on orders,” helping the official messengers.
