Picking Up Attributes From Today-Chapter 386: Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni, Son Of A Chief God
It was fine just now, and then they fled once I arrived?
What’s going on?
Puzzled, Meng Lei grabbed a higher deity for an interrogation.
“Sir, it was said that a Divinity Crystal mine was discovered in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range. Rumor has it that its reserve isn’t low. It’s estimated at around a trillion tons!”
The higher deity was frightened as he told Meng Lei everything he knew and withheld nothing. “The lord deployed the city guards to find out more. I’m just watching the show!”
“A Divinity Crystal mine worth a trillion tons?”
A huge jolt went through Meng Lei, and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. “Moro, how many Divinity Crystals can be mined from that trillion-ton mine?”
“A ton of Divinity Crystals would be approximately 10,000 Divinity Crystals,” Moro said dispassionately. “A trillion tons would naturally be 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals, but it’s only a small mine.”
“10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals!!” Meng Lei was shocked. “If a small mine can produce 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals, then what about those bigger and richer mines?”
Suddenly, Meng Lei realized that he had entered a pitfall. The deities did possess loads of Divinity Crystals, but how could they compare to Divinity Crystal mines?
Thus, the best place to loot Divinity Crystals was not the deities but the rich mines!
“Sigh... My mindset was too fixed.”
Meng Lei smacked his head as he spoke to that higher deity, “What’s your name?”
“I’m Emery Philmore, sir.”
“Bring me to the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.” Meng Lei took out a Great Perfection-level divine weapon casually. “After reaching the place, this will be yours.”
A jolt went through Emery Philmore.
“Yes, sir!”
“Lead the way.”
...
The Coiling Dragon Mountain Range was situated in the northeast of Venus Colossal Dragon City. The two places were separated by a distance of 200 lightyears, the furthest mountain range from the city. Due to its enormous size and remote nature, few deities would visit the mountains here.
Today, however, the news of the discovery of a new Divinity Crystal mine in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range spread around. The entire Venus Colossal Dragon City was buzzing as the city guards, godly clans, and other deities were on the move to gather at that mountain range.
They were either there to probe the situation, watch the show, or take a share of the riches...
For quite a while, various types of flying transportation vessels blotted out the skies and moved formidably toward the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.
Meng Lei released a flying vessel before getting Puhaman and the rest inside the ship to travel toward the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.
This flying vessel was what he had looted a while ago. Currently, he had nothing but divine weapons of various kinds.
He could convert all the Divinity Crystals and Laws of Nature Origin Crystals into numerical values in the system, while carcasses could be thrown to the little golden tree in the Tower of Time. The only exception was the divine weapons, which he could only stockpile in his spatial ring. After years of collecting them, the number of divine weapons that Meng Lei had was enough for him to open a shop.
Two days later, the big group of traveling deities reached the destination. The huge mountain range was like a prostrating Colossal Dragon spanning into the horizon.
A massive group of deities gathered in a valley of the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range. Meng Lei and his subordinates were here with the group, and they could see that the valley had been dug.
A thick divine aura came from the huge hole, and everyone in the flying vessel perked up.
“Such a thick divine aura!”
“So this is a Divinity Crystal mine?”
Puhaman and the rest poked their heads out curiously to have a good look.
“This is the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, sir,” Emery Philmore said respectfully.
“Let’s go down and have a look,” Meng Lei said.
He kept the flying vessel with a wave of a hand and led his subordinates toward the valley. At the same time, the massive traveling group rushed over as well.
As they got nearer, they could see the iridescent glow coming out of the hole, like the stunning, dazzling reflections of diamonds.
It was obvious that there was a mine in that hole.
“A mine!”
“The Coiling Dragon Mountain Range does have a mine!”
The various deities were excited, and a commotion broke out among them. Even though they did not own the mine, they could still benefit from it indirectly.
There must be someone to mine these crystals, right?
They could become miners and indirectly earn from it!
“The news was true, sir!” Emery Philmore could not contain his excitement. “There really is a mine in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range! That’s a trillion tons of Divinity Crystals. How rich is that!?”
“That’s good news for me.”
Meng Lei was delighted. However, just as he was about to observe from a closer distance, the valley’s guards stopped him. “This is a mining area. Anyone unrelated is forbidden from entering!”
Meng Lei broke into a slight frown.
“They’re the city guards, sir.” Emery Philmore hurriedly explained softly, “The city guards are the minions of the Venus Colossal Dragon City Lord. They are responsible for the security and management of the city. It’s obvious that the city lord wants to hog the Divinity Crystal mine for himself.”
“Hog for himself? Hehe!”
Meng Lei laughed. At this moment, a loud, sonorous dragon roar came from afar as nine magnificent-looking beasts flew over.
They had a lion’s body, golden dragon scales, six-legged, and a pair of golden wings. Their shrill roars were majestic and domineering.
Meng Lei knew what these divine beasts were—Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni[1]!
The Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni had both the blood of a dragon and a lion. It possessed colossal strength and was lightning quick, the most elite mount one could have.
It was a pity that they were powerful beasts. Without enough capability, one might get killed, much less subduing them as mounts.
Hence, these majestic beasts were extremely rare, not to mention the nine that appeared suddenly. However, the most unbelievable part was that there were nine metal chains on the nine Six-legged Golden Suan Ni’s necks, linking to a golden dragon carriage.
Nine Suan Ni were pulling a carriage!
“Who’s this with such a grandeur introduction?” asked Bubbles.
“Yeah! That’s way too grandeur!” Puhaman spoke as well. “But you got to admit that it’s cool to have nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni pulling your carriage! It’s really impressive!”
“You don’t say...”
The rest were amused, while Emery Philmore was badly frightened. “Everyone, tone down the volume. If someone hears this, we’ll be finished!”
“Emery, who is this guy you’re so afraid of?” everyone asked quizzically.
“In our Venus Colossal Dragon City, other than the city lord, who else could have such ostentation?” Emery gave a wry laugh.
“That’s only a lord of a city. What’s the big deal?” Bubbles scoffed. “Compared to our Master, he’s nothing at all!”
“To be honest, Master should snatch these Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni since they suit him more. They’re simply wasted on a city lord!”
“Exactly...”
The rest were unhappy as well. Their master, an expert beyond the Great Perfection deity level, kept such a low profile. Yet, a fellow who was not even a Great Perfection deity was being so pretentious. That was infuriating.
Emery Philmore could not help but laugh wryly.
“Everyone, you might not know that our city lord isn’t any ordinary deity.”
“Not ordinary?”
“Really powerful?”
“Some bigshot from the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods?”
Everyone was puzzled.
“His name is Venus Nidhogg. He isn’t that powerful as he’s only a mid-level higher deity. However, he’s the great Nidhogg Chief God’s little son. Though he isn’t favored, he still enjoys a supreme status amongst the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods,” Emery Philmore explained.
“What the!”
“Son of a Chief God!”
“No wonder he’s so high profile!”
“Impressive!”
“You got me!”
