Came from the Lair

A small crystal mine had once been discovered near the developing land Ning Lang chose. Since it was quite far away from Dragon City, the claws of the mega corporations had yet to reach the place. That was why the unlicensed pathfinders could get the opportunity to occupy it. 

He originally thought it was a project that would only bring them benefits. 

When after much difficulty his group set up camp in the wild, prepared the defense systems, and made sure that their developing land had fierce firepower, the mine explorers from big companies came to explore the crystal mine in depth. 

The results showed that the area had only a fake mine, since there were only a few thin layers of crystal crusts near the surface. They were revealed due to the weathering effect, and it only looked as if there were a lot of crystals in the area.
