In Between the Territory of the Human-Faced Spider and the Abyss Tiger

The number of green-leaf snakes chasing after Lin Luo's clone had decreased significantly.

Nearly half of the snakes slithered in all directions, advancing from all directions.

F*ck!

These snakes were trying to outflank the clone!

"System, if the clone dies, can it be resurrected?" Lin Luo asked in a daze.

[Reviving the clone will cost 100 million spirit stones.]

Good gracious!

In other words, these green-leaf snakes were trying to surround his clone worth 100 million spirit stones!

Lin Luo gulped hard.

No, he couldn't let these snakes kill his clone.

"Run towards the human-faced spiders' territory!" Lin Luo gave his clone another order.

The clone immediately changed his direction. He did not continue forward but swept to the left!

The green leaf snake's plan to outflank them was interrupted. All the snakes gathered behind Lin Luo's clone and continued their pursuit.

Lin Luo followed him at a distance.

The closer they got to the human-faced spiders' territory, the more agitated the green-leaf snakes became, as if they were very uneasy.

When Lin Luo's clone entered the human-faced spiders' territory, the green-leaf snakes did not continue advancing.

Lin Luo heaved a sigh of relief.

If he had made the right bet, the green-leaf snakes would not dare to enter the human-faced spiders' territory.

Thus, Lin Luo went around from the side and entered the spider's territory.

He and his clone did not venture too deep into the area. Instead, they walked along the edge of the territory's boundary.

Five minutes later, Lin Luo and his clone met up.

The snakes did not dare to enter the spiders' territory, so they simply stood guard outside.

Lin Luo and his clone went around in a big circle before they finally got around the snakes and left the spiders' territory.

However, after coming out, Lin Luo couldn't find his way.

I'll go!

He recalled the map and realized that this place was not on the map that Zhang Renhu had given him.

In other words, the place they were currently at was not on the map at all!

"System, do you have a map of the area outside the city? Where am I now?"

[The host is now on the border between the Human-faced Spider and the Abyss Tiger's territory]

F*ck!

Lin Luo looked at his feet and then at both sides.

The trees on the left were taller and denser, while the trees on the right were shorter and more humid.

Lin Luo closed his eyes. Do you have a map?"

If he continued to stay here, he might really lose his life.

The sky was already dark, and it would be dark soon.

No one could say for sure what would happen outside the city after dark.

What if he accidentally entered the abyss tiger's territory...

[Unlocking the map requires 10000 spirit stones.]

"Here, here, here! Unlock it immediately!"

Lin Luo didn't hesitate at all and let the system take 10000 spirit stones from him.

[Unlocking successful. The shortest route back to the city has been planned for the host. The host should be able to arrive before dark. The host can move forward according to the hints.]

Lin Luo raised his head and saw an arrow in front of him.

He immediately activated flying bird and followed the arrow.

Half an hour later, Lin Luo finally arrived at the city gate before the sky turned completely dark.

He landed at the west gate. This wasn't the city gate that he usually used.

After registering in the city, Lin Luo finally relaxed completely.

Just as he was about to ask the system to show him the closest route back to the villa, he saw a familiar face.

Su Chengyi?

Wasn't that the Su family's elder?

Lin Luo's eyes darted around. He let his clone return to the villa while he hid in a corner. After using a concealment spell, he followed behind the Su family elder.

He didn't follow too closely. After all, the other party was a King level expert.

No matter how powerful an advanced concealment technique was, one would be easily discovered if one got too close to a king-class expert.

"Elder." The martial artist guarding the door greeted Su Chengyi respectfully.

"Hmm, anything unusual?"

"Don't worry, elder. There isn't."

"Alright, open the door."

Lin Luo followed Su Chengyi to the front of the house.

It wasn't exactly a house. The wall surrounded a large area, and there weren't any tall buildings inside. They were all one or two stories, and Lin Luo could only see two buildings from the outside.

The door outside was black and very heavy.

The martial artists guarding the door pulled the mechanism outside, and the door opened bit by bit.

It took a full two minutes before the door was opened.

After Su Chengyi walked in, Lin Luo quickly ran over and slipped in before the door closed.

A wide street was in front of them as soon as they entered.

Three large trucks were driving slowly on the street, and one was parked in front of a two-story building, getting unloaded.

Lin Luo's eyes widened when he saw the items.

Spirit stones!

The entire truck was filled with spirit stones!

Lin Luo immediately understood what this place was for.

This was the Su family's spirit vein mine! These people were digging for spirit stones!

Spirit vein mines were formed because of the existence of spirit veins. The emitted spirit power was too dense and condensed into a solid, forming a mine.

And spirit stones were mined from spirit vein mines.

Lin Luo's eyes lit up, and he licked his lips.

"System, will you rely on spiritual energy to operate it?"

[!!!]

The system played dead and didn't make a sound.

"Stop pretending. I can guess it already.

"You've been staring at my spiritual stones all day long, and you want to swallow all of them in one go. And you need spiritual stones or time to upgrade every time.

"This means that the spirit stones must be very important to you. It's probably because you need spiritual power when you operate, and you can absorb the spiritual power contained in the spirit stone, so consuming it would immediately be an upgrade to you. You also wish to use the spiritual power in the spirit stone to upgrade my cultivation and technique."

"If you don't use spirit stones, you'll need time. I think it's because you can automatically absorb the spirit energy from the outside world."

The system was speechless.

"If you help me get the spirit stones from the spirit vein mine, we'll split it equally. How about that?" Lin Luo offered.

After he finished speaking, his mind became completely silent.

Lin Luo wasn't in a hurry. He knew that the system would definitely agree.

[Okay, I can protect you as you enter the spirit vein mine and help you move the spirit stones back to the villa. But it's 60-40. I'll take 60%, and you'll take 40%.]

My word!

The system was really stingy.

"Deal!"

Although it was only 40%, 40% of a spirit vein mine was a lot. Without the system, Lin Luo definitely wouldn't be able to enter the spirit vein mine with just the concealment spell.

Transporting it would be a problem in itself.

When the spirit energy from the spirit vein condensed into a solid, it was condensed into a whole piece, like a mountain or a boulder.

After that, they would be mined, cut, and polished into spirit stones that could be used for trade.

Lin Luo couldn't possibly store an entire mountain in his villa.

After the discussion, Lin Luo began to take action.

An invisible force surrounded Lin Luo and completely isolated him from his surroundings.

The space Lin Luo was in seemed to be a world of its own. It was in a different space from the warriors and ordinary people in the Su family's spirit vein mine.

Even if Lin Luo passed by, he wouldn't be noticed if he used his spiritual power.
