Chapter 378: Chapter 297 Fearful Emotions
At the edge of a vast red lake, a long staircase stretched from the shore all the way to the bottom of the water.
Figures periodically surfaced, Water Elent Beasts erging from the depths of the lake with chunks of grey-brown stones and placing them at the shore.
On the busy outskirts of the factory, nurous Beast Tars were patrolling and keeping vigilant with their beasts.
Since several rcenary Corps had launched attacks on Jiu Chi City’s various Resource Points so ti ago, the security at this Watercore Fla Mine Resource Point had more than doubled.
These stones appeared unique, grey-brown throughout, though so had crystal colors of red and blue at the edges of their surfaces.
The workers on the shore moved the ore into the factory sheds behind them for excavation and cleaning.
In the massive factory shed, a large number of workers carefully chiseled away at the ore with small knives, fearful of damaging the Watercore Fla Marrow inside.
At the edge of the shed, a worker carefully broke open the stone’s skin, revealing a translucent ore inside, and within the ore, a magma-like marrow fluid flowed abundantly.
Overjoyed at the sight, the worker shouted loudly, “I’ve struck the marrow!”
The Beast Tars stationed by the shed rushed over and praised the worker after confirmation, “Not bad, your salary this month is doubled. It’s the marrow, Lao Zhang, co and extract it.”
An experienced master ca over to take over the following tasks.
Under the supervision of the Beast Tar, the workers extracted the Watercore Fla Marrow internally, and after weighing, there was a total of three ounces.
Shortly after, a red-haired Beast Tar rushed over upon hearing the news and stored the marrow in a storage ring.
He then hurried toward the depths of the camp.
Inside a stone hut deep within the camp, the red-haired Beast Tar skillfully opened an underground cellar and then climbed down.
Beneath the cellar was another world, a vast underground cavern carved out.
The floor of the underground cavern was covered with thick carpets.
The surrounding walls were adorned with crystal and agate decorations.
Deeper within the cavern, a massive dicine Pool had been built.
Faint white mist emanated from within the pool, and a muscular red-haired figure leaned on the edge of the pool, his eyes slightly closed.
Hearing approaching footsteps, the muscular man opened his eyes a sliver and asked, “What is it?”
Standing behind the steps of the dicine Pool, the red-haired Beast Tar spoke respectfully, “Seventh Uncle, the ten pounds of Watercore Fla Marrow for this month have been collected.”
“Hmm, good, put it aside,” Chi Xie responded calmly.
The red-haired Beast Tar took off his shoes and carefully descended the ladder, took out a large bucket from his storage ring, and placed it at the edge of the dicine Pool.
The placid dicine Pool suddenly started to churn.
A bulge ford on the water’s surface, and a Black Python as thick as a water barrel erged from the depths.
With one eye red and the other blue, its forked tongue flicked in and out as it swam to the edge of the pool, opened its mouth wide, and enveloped the tal bucket, its throat muscles wriggling as the bucket slid down its gullet.
A vague outline of the bucket could be seen,
But as it slid down the body, the shape of the bucket grew smaller and smaller until it reached the belly, becoming flat— the bucket had been completely dissolved before it fully entered its stomach.
After consuming the Watercore Fla Marrow, the Black Python’s eyes shone brightly with dual-colored light.
It was clear that the ten pounds of marrow were greatly beneficial to it.
The Black Python rose from the dicine Pool and coiled into the shape of a mosquito coil on the shore.
Just as the red-haired Beast Tar was about to speak, Chi Xie took a deep breath and then waved his arm impatiently, coldly spitting out a single word, “Leave.”
The red-haired Beast Tar could only nod and comply, saying “Yes,” before quickly departing.
As his figure vanished from sight, the water began to roil once again.
Under Chi Xie’s watchful gaze, a figure gradually erged from the dicine Pool.
It was a woman with long hair sticking to her skin, her complexion as white and smooth as creamy jade.
She rose gracefully from the dicine Pool, her red lips parting slightly, her tongue delicately licking her lips, as if savoring the essence of the dicine Pool.
Chi Xie closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.
The woman stepped out of the pool, droplets of water slowly trickling down her snow-white body.
“Seventh Elder, it turns out you enjoy this kind of thrilling atmosphere,” the woman said with a laugh, covering her mouth.
“Hmph,” Chi Xie snorted lightly through his nose, too lazy to explain.
“The Seventh Elder has asked to assist in defense; you didn’t an to have defend like this, did you? Your stature is too imposing, Elder, I can barely hold myself,” she said.
Chi Xie spoke indifferently, “Of course not, this Watercore Fla Mine is quite valuable, and the enemy might target it.”
The woman took a snow silk long dress from her storage ring and wrapped her body in it, sitting on the stone chair beside her.
“Might? Just because of a ‘might,’ you’ve had stay here for almost a month. How am I to explain to the other Elders when I return? As a Patrol Envoy, I’m supposed to oversee twenty-four Resource Points,” the woman said as she leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand, her generous cleavage on display.
But at this mont, Chi Xie was as detached as a saint, and upon opening his eyes, he did not glance in her direction, “My Beast has now reached the peak of the Sixth Layers, just one step away from breaking through to the Transcendence Seventh Level.”
The woman’s eyes flashed with surprise at his words, “Seventh Elder, I recall that your Beast only broke through to the Sixth Layers of Transcendence thirty years ago. Is this Watercore Fla Mine truly so beneficial to your Beast?”
It becos increasingly difficult to break through as a Beast advances.
Transcendence Seventh Level is a High Transcendence, and it’s extrely challenging to make progress at this level, requiring a vast amount of resources.
Even more notably, the Transcendence Seventh Level could challenge for a position as a Supre Elder within the clan!
“It just happens to be very compatible with my Black Dragon,” Chi Xie said and then looked at the woman, “Cover for for two more months. Within two months, I will surely break through to the Transcendence Seventh Level. If I succeed, I will owe you a great favor.”
