Inside the world within a world.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The tens of thousands of Stellar-level adventurers who had entered through the black hole, each in their own teams, quickly flew off in different directions. For a moment, they covered the sky and earth like a flood.
“Third brother, which direction should we go?” Hong looked at Luo Feng.
“We cannot waste time.” Thunder God was also extremely anxious.
Luo Feng looked around. At this moment, He Ruo, who had just reported the news through the Virtual Universe Network, opened his eyes and looked at Luo Feng and the others with a hint of apology.
“Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God, sorry. I have to follow the organisation’s instructions and meet up with them.”
Immediately afterwards, their team quickly flew away.
“Follow me.” Luo Feng also rose into the air.
Hong, Thunder God, Tie Nanhe, and Ao Gu followed him. The five man team quickly flew close to the ground.
Previously, there had been tens of thousands of adventurers packed together, but after spreading out, only a few minutes of flying was enough for Luo Feng’s team to no longer see anyone else nearby. This world within a world was simply too vast. Tens of thousands of people entering it was like a single drop of water falling into the ocean.
“Third brother, are we just going to fly around like this?” Hong looked at Luo Feng.
“That is the only way.” Luo Feng explained. “A world within a world is an entire world. It is extremely vast. Who knows where the treasures are hidden? Therefore, we can only search aimlessly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, we can detect within a range of 20 kilometres. As long as there are any treasures within this range, we will definitely discover them immediately.”
Luo Feng knew very clearly that given the vastness of the world within a world, this was the best method available to him.
Fly close to the ground, then let Babata search within a 20 kilometre range. Once there was a treasure, Babata would immediately inform him.
“Big brother, second brother.” Luo Feng smiled. “When He Ruo went to gather with the North Dragon City forces earlier, you should have noticed something, right?”
Thunder God nodded. “The various major forces are arranging for their people to gather and cooperate.”
Obtaining treasures in a world within a world!
Having more people was extremely important. The four major organisations and the sixteen great families all had many people inside the world within a world. Once they gathered, they could form teams numbering in the hundreds. As for scattered individuals like Luo Feng, who had no powerful background, competing against hundreds of people would simply be seeking death.
“So, we should keep a low profile for now.” Luo Feng smiled. “If we can find treasures, then we will. If we cannot find treasures, we can still mine universe crystals.”
Every world had universe crystals.
An undeveloped world had even more universe crystals. They were hard currency in the universe.
……
There were no fierce beasts inside the world within a world. It was instead a silent and empty world.
“It is really quiet.” Luo Feng sighed.
“That is normal. The fierce beasts in the Thunder World were completely brought in by the Universe Mercenary Alliance for the purpose of testing and selecting apprentice mercenaries.” Thunder God muttered. “Actually, without any fierce beasts, flying around searching feels rather boring.”
“Stop!” A voice suddenly sounded in Luo Feng’s mind.
“Stop!” Luo Feng immediately sent a mental transmission and shouted. His voice exploded in the ears of the other four.
“Damn.” Thunder God covered his ears and glared. “Luo Feng, lower your voice.”
However, Luo Feng had no time to argue with his second brother. His consciousness quickly communicated with Babata. Then he looked around and shouted in a low voice.
“Everyone, be careful. Find a place, we are going to dig underground.”
“Dig underground?” Hong and Thunder God were stunned.
“Yes. There are universe crystals 3,200 metres below the ground here.” Luo Feng whispered.
“Universe crystals?”
“Damn, universe crystals?” Thunder God’s eyes immediately widened.
“This land is made of soil. Below a depth of about 1,900 metres, it becomes a rock layer. However, the rocks here should not be too hard. Unlike the rocks in the Wind Thunder Valley, which have been tempered by ‘violent winds’ and ‘thunder’ for a long time, we should be able to break through it within a day.” Luo Feng said softly.
Universe crystals represented wealth, and they were absolute hard currency. They were worth far more than Ganwu coins.
And right now, Luo Feng desperately needed money.
To be precise, once the Golden Horned Beast broke through to the Universe level, Luo Feng would need an enormous amount of money. The first account his teacher had left him contained 10 billion Ganwu coins. Luo Feng currently had less than 5 billion Ganwu coins left. However, once the Golden Horned Beast broke through, growing from Universe level one to Domain Lord level one would take 1,000 years.
To evolve faster, he needed to purchase many precious metals and form special combinations.
The metal combinations required at the Universe level were far more expensive than those needed at the Stellar level, and the required amount was also much larger. This meant that Luo Feng’s remaining 5 billion Ganwu coins would not even be enough to cover one month of food for the Golden Horned Beast if he used the best metal combinations.
Of course, if it swallowed ordinary alloy scraps and similar materials, the cost would be much lower, but the evolution speed would also be slower.
Luo Feng could not afford to waste time.
The forces of the Nuolan Shan family would arrive at Earth before long. Therefore, he had to obtain enough wealth as quickly as possible, allowing the Golden Horned Beast to evolve at the fastest speed.
“Chi chi~~”
Ao Gu used a fragment of Red Mixed Copper Mother to drill underground as quickly as possible. Luo Feng followed closely behind. Hong and Thunder God also went down, while Tie Nanhe was responsible for concealing the surface to prevent other Stellar-level adventurers from discovering them.
The 1,900 metre deep soil layer was dug through in only half an hour.
However, the rock layer below immediately slowed their progress.
“Too slow.” Luo Feng became slightly anxious. “Looks like it will really take a day.”
“Luo Feng, use the Moyun Vine to carry that blade fragment downward. It might be faster.” Hong suggested.
“Right!”
Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. Creating a passage underground large enough for a person to move through was difficult, but allowing a vine to penetrate inside was much easier.
“Ao Gu, move aside.” Luo Feng immediately said.
“Yes.” Ao Gu quickly moved to one side.
Luo Feng moved to the lowest point. With a thought, the Moyun Battle Armour attached to his skin immediately extended out a vine. At the same time, the bracelet originally worn on his wrist quickly wrapped around the vine and shrank.
This bracelet was where Babata stayed, and it was also Babata’s storage space.
The vine was thin yet extremely tough. At its tip were leaves that wrapped around the fragment of Red Mixed Copper Mother, quickly extending downward.
The Red Mixed Copper Mother fragment drilled underground while the thin vine continued extending deeper. The speed was astonishingly fast.
Back on Earth, the Moyun Vine at Planetary level fifth and sixth rank already had an astonishing length.
Now, the Stellar-level fourth rank Moyun Vine could easily extend for ten thousand metres. Therefore, after about twenty minutes, the vine with the Red Mixed Copper Mother fragment as its “tip” had already reached a depth of 3,200 metres underground.
……
3,200 metres underground.
A huge dark blue crystal block, resembling the colour of the starry sky, was embedded inside the rocks. A vine wrapped around the Red Mixed Copper Mother fragment stretched for more than a thousand metres and finally reached the location. A bracelet was also attached to the vine.
“Wahaha! Collect it!”
Babata shouted proudly.
The huge dark blue crystal instantly disappeared and was stored inside the storage space.
……
Inside the storage space.
This was an enormous storage space, and even the Meteorite Ink Star ship was parked inside.
The huge dark blue crystal appeared out of nowhere. A metal robot immediately flew over. Its red eyes flashed brightly, and its mouth produced a voice.
“That idiot Luo Feng actually follows the rules of Earth’s warrior teams and divides the spoils. This universe crystal was obtained entirely by him, yet he is still planning to give 40 percent to Hong and Thunder God. What an idiot!”
“This universe crystal is quite large, probably around 9,000 cubic metres. Hmm, cut it for me!”
Immediately, several small robots appeared.
They quickly began dismantling the huge universe crystal. The energy contained within universe crystals was astonishing, but dismantling them was not difficult. In the universe, they were usually divided into coin shaped units.
The universal standard was that one cubic metre of universe crystal would be divided into 1,000 universe coins.
……
Underground.
The vine extended from Luo Feng’s Moyun Battle Armour quickly retracted. At the same time, the bracelet flew back onto Luo Feng’s wrist and merged with it.
“Babata, how many universe crystals did we obtain?” Luo Feng asked mentally.
“Haha, not bad luck. Universe crystals scattered throughout an ordinary world are usually relatively few. Only the central areas contain large amounts. I did not expect you to obtain 3,000 cubic metres of universe crystals this time. Your luck is pretty good.” Babata’s voice sounded in Luo Feng’s consciousness.
Luo Feng nodded slightly after hearing this.
“Big brother, second brother, let’s go back up.” Luo Feng said.
The five quickly flew towards the surface again and soon broke through the ground.
“How was it?” Thunder God looked at Luo Feng.
“How many universe crystals did you get?” Hong also asked.
“Our luck was alright.” Luo Feng looked around. The surroundings were dark and silent, with only the vast land faintly visible. “The universe crystals scattered throughout the world within a world are usually not many. We obtained 3,000 cubic metres this time, which is already quite a lot.”
“3,000 cubic metres?” Thunder God’s eyes shone. “3,000 cubic metres is equivalent to 3 million universe coins. One universe coin, if exchanged now, seems to be worth more than 3,000 Ganwu coins. That means it is approximately 10 billion Ganwu coins.”
“10 billion Ganwu coins?” Hong was also shocked by the huge amount.
“When I first went to the Killing Ground with you, I heard a Universe-level powerhouse mention discovering a new world. It was said that they obtained 10,000 cubic metres of universe crystals. We obtained 3,000 cubic metres at once, which is pretty good.” Hong sighed.
“As expected of a World Lord’s world. The first find already gives us this much.” Luo Feng could not help but praise. “In the legends of universe adventurers, discovering a new world always means making a huge fortune! However, when a new world is first discovered, most of the time it is seized by Universe-level or even Domain Lord-level powerhouses first.”
“Let’s hurry!” Luo Feng said. “We continue!”
Obtaining 3,000 cubic metres in the first find, which was already comparable to the wealth in the first account his teacher left him, made Luo Feng even more excited.
A World Lord’s world truly was a great treasure.
Even the most ordinary universe crystals were already enormous wealth.
“However, once the Golden Horned Beast reaches the Universe level, its expenses will be astonishing. This is still far from enough. Continue!” Luo Feng thought, full of anticipation.
At this moment, Luo Feng had no idea that the actual amount of universe crystals they had obtained was 9,000 cubic metres. The evil Babata had deliberately hidden 6,000 cubic metres.
……
Perhaps some other teams had energy detection devices, but those instruments could not possibly compare with Babata’s detection ability.
Under Babata’s guidance, Luo Feng soon discovered a second location underground where universe crystals were hidden.
“Perhaps through this World Lord’s world, I can really obtain all the money needed for the Golden Horned Beast’s Universe-level stage.” Luo Feng’s eyes shone brightly as he controlled the vine and bracelet to drill underground.
“Drill!”
