Chapter 778: Below The Mine
North of Country Glow.
There were mineral lodes near the Wulu River and the Kengdi River situated at the border of Shijie Province and Keqin Special Administrative Region.
There were a few thousand small and big mines scattered in this area, with figures working hard in them. These were the local miners.
The situation in the mining industry was complicated. There were companies with an official background, companies with local warlords supporting them, and companies owned by local wealthy families. They were also corporations jointly owned by local and overseas investors.
The relations were so complicated that normal people wouldn’t be able to snatch any of the business. However, these mines were all controlled by the aliens now. None of the factions dared to resist.
Wang Teng reached this place more than an hour later. He used his Spiritual Sight to scan the area, but he didn’t see any planetary-stage martial warriors.
“Have they left?” Wang Teng frowned.
“Who are you?” A martial warrior flew over and blocked Wang Teng’s path.
He was at the 11-star general stage, and he looked like a martial warrior from Earth.
“Where are the alien invaders?” Wang Teng asked directly.
“How dare you call the three lords like that!” the martial warriors’ expression changed as he shouted at Wang Teng.
Wang Teng’s gaze turned cold. “You’re an Earthling, but you’ve betrayed your home planet.”
“Damn it!” The martial warrior’s expression turned ugly. His face turned distorted, and he charged toward Wang Teng with a blade in his hand.
“Impudent!” Wang Teng’s expression didn’t change. A sharp glow flew out of his body and twirled around the martial warrior.
Splurt!
A severed arm holding a blade flew high into the air. The blood splattered more than three meters away.
“Ah!” The martial warrior widened his eyes in fear, screaming in pain.
“I hate betrayers,” Wang Teng said indifferently.
“You!” The martial warrior’s face turned pale. Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he kept retreating while screaming, “Who are you!?”
“Someone that kills alien invaders.” Wang Teng snorted.
“You! You! You!”
To the martial warrior, this was treason. After shouting these three words, he didn’t know what to say anymore.
“Get over here!” Wang Teng released his spiritual power. It formed an invisible hand and grabbed the martial warrior’s body.
The martial warrior was flabbergasted. He struggled frantically but to no avail. He was dragged back by a huge force.
“No, don’t kill me…” He panicked. He was terrified.
Wang Teng couldn’t care less about his mental well-being. He used his Bewitch skill to control him and asked him for the location of the three candidates.
“They’re at the bottom of the mine,” Wang Teng mumbled to himself. He flew in the direction where the martial warrior had pointed.
A bloody hole appeared on the martial warrior’s forehead. He had already lost all signs of life and dropped to the ground.
The other martial warriors on the ground ran away when they saw this scene.
A few rays of light flew out from Wang Teng’s body and chased after those martial warriors. He killed all of them, sparing no one.
Traitors should die!
But these were just small fries. The real alien martial warriors weren’t here.
Mid-flight, he saw many small tents built over the mining area. These were to block the sunlight and act as landmarks.
Wang Teng floated down in front of a tent. A few alien martial warriors were stationed here. They walked over immediately when they saw an invader.
“Who are you?” One of the alien invaders asked using the common universe language.
“Get off!” Wang Teng didn’t show any mercy. The rays of light shot out again and flew towards the alien invaders.
“Damn it!” The alien martial warriors’ expressions changed. They immediately retreated.
However, they were just at the 13-star general stage, so they couldn’t withstand Wang Teng’s flying dagger attack.
The flying daggers slit their throats, spilling fresh blood everywhere.
“Argh!”
The alien martial warriors’ eyes widened in shock as they clutched their throats. They fell back unwillingly.

…
Wang Teng stepped over the corpses while picking up the attribute bubbles scattered on the ground. He came to the mine and looked down.
He activated his Spiritual Sight and saw through the layers of obstacles. Finally, he managed to see three glaring balls of light near the end of his vision.
“My intermediate stage Spiritual Sight allows me to see 2000 meters ahead of me. This means that they’re approximately 2000 meters underground.”
Wang Teng frowned, muttering to himself, “They are not fighting over the Thousand Years Chalcedony Heart. Have they decided to cooperate with one another?
“It’s possible that they had no other choice but to work together to seize other pieces of land. The Thousand Years Chalcedony Heart might become an opportunity for them instead.”
Wang Teng touched his chin and wondered to himself.
“Two of these three martial warriors are at the first-level planetary stage while the other one is at the second-level planetary stage. As expected. I have nothing to be afraid of.”
Wang Teng jumped down the mine and executed his Shadow Merging Secret Skill, fusing into the darkness and crawling towards the location where the three candidates were.
At the bottom.
The three candidates were making their way down. There was a machine with a drill at the front. As the drill spun at high speed, the rock in front of them broke like a piece of tofu and revealed a path down.
“Eric, how much longer?” a lofty and muscular man with brown hair asked.
The man called Eric was another young man with brown hair. He looked at the detector in his hand and said, “We’re almost there. We’re more than 2000 meters below the ground and will reach the Thousand Years Chalcedony Heart around 300 meters later.”
“Basa, it’s still early. Why are you so impatient?” Another easy-going green-haired young man chuckled.
The muscular Basa didn’t seem to like this green-haired young man. However, he still replied to him in a frustrated tone, “Our families spent much effort to give us the right to participate in this trial. They didn’t send us here to play. Our abilities are at the bottom of all the martial warriors present. However, if we get the Thousand Years Chalcedony Heart, our strength will increase greatly. We can work together and snatch more land from the other talents. We can’t waste any time. How can I be patient?”
“Basa is right. Wulf, you should work harder. If you fail this trial, your father will break your leg,” Eric said calmly.
“Alright, alright, you guys are right. I’ll work harder. We haven’t reached it, right. There’s no use being impatient now. Stupid driller. Eric, can’t you change to a better one?” Wulf shrugged and shook his head helplessly.
