Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 320 Blue Flame Crystal
"We've already explored this area, so let's go there next. Although the possibility there isn't great, we still have to go and take a look if it's possible."

Taking out the map, Ye Mo pointed to the mountain range on the east side of the green island that stretched to the north side and preached to Bai You and the others.

In the previous exploration, all the suspicious locations in the wasteland on the west side and the plain on the south side have been explored. Most of them are used to store some resources, many of which are strategic resources, such as magic equipment, stored food, potions and other supplies.

Although these things are not very precious individually, they are quite valuable when there are enough of them. If they are all sold for money, it will definitely be a considerable income.

Unfortunately, they did not come here to make this little money, but to find out the news about the three-colored shining crystals. Otherwise, Ye Mo would not be polite about these things of the Earl of Cangcui Island.

"Well, the materials stored here are too low-level. The Tricolor Radiant Crystal is a level six resource and cannot be placed here."

Looking at Ye Mo, Bai You's eyes flashed and he spoke seriously.

Her words were very simple. It was because the material level here was too low that level six resources would not be placed here. At the same time, it was impossible for those people here to know anything about the tri-color shining crystals.

Nodding slightly, Ye Mo looked at the others. Bai Ling and Xiao Liu'er were still having fun together, and obviously had no idea about this matter. Hanhan and the Golden Skeleton King were the same, ready to follow his instructions.

So, the only one who can really discuss together is Bai You. The others can do nothing except fighting, eating, drinking and having fun.

"Then let's go." After thinking about it, Ye Mo put away the map and said seriously to everyone.

……

The east side of the green island.

Unlike the vast wasteland and jungle on the west side, and also unlike the port plain on the south side, the east side of the island is occupied by a huge mountain range.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can clearly see the lush forests on the east side and the mountains rising from the earth, but apart from that, there is nothing else.

This huge mountain range connects the east and north sides of the island in an arc shape, like a huge city wall, blocking the north side and most of the east side.

In addition, 90% of the mineral veins on the Green Island are in or near this mountain range, so this place seems desolate and there is no sign of human life, but in fact there are mines and caves, as well as a large number of miners and other workers.

This situation is very normal. After all, for the entire Green Island, and even for the entire territory of the Earl of Green Island, the mines around this mountain range are considered one of the pillar industries, which can bring considerable profits to the Earl every year.

Therefore, the security for the mines and caves here is also quite high. Although it is not as strong as the Earl's Castle and the port, its protection is definitely the third strongest on the island.

However, there are a lot of mines and caves here, and they are relatively scattered. So although the protection level is very high, in fact, only the most important mining sites and mine warehouses can be called the third most protected on the island.

The protection levels for other common mineral mining sites and warehouses storing common minerals are much weaker.

So with the help of the invisible formation, Ye Mo, Bai You and others successfully crossed the south side of the island. After arriving at the mountains on the east side, their exploration of those warehouses and mining sites was also very smooth.

Just like before, it didn't take long to explore almost all the twelve mining sites in the eastern mountain range.

In the mountains, in a forest somewhere, under a giant tree.

A black shadow appeared on the ground, and Bai You's body walked out of it. He then squatted lazily, looking at Ye Mo beside the tree with deep eyes.

"I've explored the last place, but still can't find any information about the Tricolor Radiant Crystal. Looks like we have to go to the next place."

Leaning against the giant tree, Ye Mo raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised by this. According to the information he had obtained, among the mineral veins on the island, the grade of the mineral veins on the east side was relatively low. Although the output was good, it was not rare or precious. Therefore, it was normal that nothing could be found here.

"It's okay. We're already on the island, so it won't take much longer. But you should have used Soul Control, right? Did you get any other information?"

The super-level skill is the ability to control the soul. At the beginning, it can control the target with the line of control, and then control the target's simple actions like controlling a puppet. Later, as the proficiency increases, in addition to controlling the actions, it can also control the other party's mind, thereby asking for the information known by the other party.

According to the description, this skill is very powerful, but in fact, its effect is not too outrageous. The ability to control the target's actions is only useful for the weak, while the strong can even be immune to this attack. Therefore, even if the proficiency of this skill is improved to the super-level Max, its effect in battle is only interference and auxiliary.

The other ability to control the mind and obtain intelligence is quite strong, allowing Ye Mo to obtain a lot of useful information from the enemy. However, after using this skill, when the skill ends, the target will be able to feel that he is being controlled and hypnotized, so this ability is still limited.

But since Bai You broke through the fourth level and then changed his job to become the Undead King, this skill has been greatly improved in controlling the mind.

The biggest change is that when controlling a target whose mental strength is below a certain level, it is already possible to achieve simple hypnosis. That is, after the control is over, the other party can be made to forget about it, so that the fact that the other party is being controlled will not be exposed in a short period of time.

It may not seem to be very useful, but it is very useful in this situation.

Because the managers of the mining sites and mining areas here are all at the third level, and many of the relatives and friends have just entered the third level of cultivation, it is very easy for Bai You's soul to control this group of people.

Facing Ye Mo's question, Bai You gently licked the fur on his body, recalling the information he had obtained before. After a little mental reorganization, he said seriously: "The information we got is not much, similar to what we got in the west before, but there are a few pieces of information that are more special, although they may not be related to the three-color shining crystal."

As soon as Bai You finished speaking, Ye Mo's somewhat relaxed expression suddenly became serious. It was obvious that he was very interested in this so-called news.

But it was understandable. After all, they had been exploring the island for several hours since arriving, and there was no news. So, Bai You's sudden question naturally made them very interested. "What exactly is it?"

"According to what the manager I just controlled said, starting six months ago, all the ore they mined is now transported directly to the Beiling Mine Warehouse in the north, instead of being transported to the port warehouse as before."

"Hmm? This shouldn't be too strange, right?"

"It's different. Their mining site is called the Blue Flame Crystal Mine. It's a second-level vein, rich in second-level and a small amount of third-level Blue Flame Crystal. While Blue Flame Crystal is a decent resource, its nature is rather chaotic, so it's practically useless. Currently, it's mainly used to create some gorgeous magical accessories."

A black shadow emerged from the ground, and a blue crystal with energy overflowing like flames emerged from it. Bai You looked at Ye Mo and continued, "The manager I just controlled is a descendant of a baron family. His family secretly established a small business many years ago, and the items they sold were magical accessories made of blue flame crystal."

"In the past, he would rely on his authority to secretly withhold some of the Blue Flame Crystal. Then, after the Blue Flame Crystal ore was transported to the port, he would rely on the family power within the port to purchase a small portion of the Blue Flame Crystal ore at a low price."

"It is precisely through this method that a baron family that had fallen on hard times has become more powerful than some ordinary viscount families."

Hearing this, Ye Mo touched his chin, nodded, and asked in confusion: "I see, then what?"

Bai You's eyes were deep as he continued, "But now all the Blue Flame Crystal ore has been transported to the Beiling Mine Warehouse. In the past six months, the Beiling Mine Warehouse hasn't shipped any Blue Flame Crystal ore to the port. Also, the Blue Flame Crystal produced here can't be found on the market. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Earl of Cangcui Island no longer has any intention of selling this crystal ore."

Hearing this, Ye Mo nodded slightly. The Blue Flame Crystal Mine is a medium-sized vein. Although it is not large, it can produce third-level Blue Flame Crystal. Although the number cannot be compared with the second-level Blue Flame Crystal, if it is sold, it will also be a considerable income.

Moreover, the Blue Flame Crystal Mine is a kind of showpiece resource that is useless but a pity to throw away. For the Earl of Verdant Island, the best option should be to sell it directly in wholesale. Otherwise, if the quantity is too large, it will be stuck in his hands and he will neither be able to use it nor sell it.

"Could it be that the Earl of Verdant Island is also planning to get involved in the production of magical accessories?"

Ye Mo asked in speculation. If that was true, then he could understand why the other party didn't sell these crystal ores.

Bai You shook his head at this. It was obvious that this was not the case.

"I asked the administrator, and he said his family hadn't discovered any other magical accessories made of blue flame crystal being sold in the earldom."

Seeing Bai You's confident answer, Ye Mo sighed and thought back to the other information that came with the three-colored shining crystal when he first learned about it.

One of them is that the Earl of Green Island purchased a large amount of high-level crystal mineral resources, and this happened half a year ago.

From this perspective, something must have happened half a year ago that caused the Earl of Verdant Island to need a large amount of crystal ore resources, but what exactly happened? What was the reason for the need for so many crystal ore resources?

After a while of thinking, Ye Mo shook his head, unable to figure it out. After exhaling, he looked at Bai You with a sharp gaze and said with a smile, "Forget it if you can't figure it out. Anyway, our next plan is to go to the mining area in the north. You will take action then. I'm afraid we won't be able to find the cause."

The dark light shone again. After storing the blue flame crystal in the Netherworld, Bai You nodded slightly and said seriously, "But the security over there is definitely much stronger than here. There's a high probability that a fourth-level existence will appear."

"If I really encounter this, Ye Mo, what do you think I should do?"

Touching his chin, after a moment of thought, Ye Mo smiled and said, "We'll go in together then. If the opponent is of average strength, you can handle him on your own. If he possesses a domain, then you and Hanhan will take action and knock him down as quickly as possible."

Hearing this, Bai You's eyes showed a trace of worry. He said, "But if we do that, it will easily expose our presence. Even if we can quickly subdue the opponent, my soul control ability is really not very effective for the fourth level. At most, I can get some information, but I can't make the opponent forget this matter after waking up."

"In this way, even if we kill them or place them in my Netherworld, after a while, the people in the mining area will discover that their manager is missing."

"By then, during the enemy's comprehensive investigation, our operation will most likely be directly exposed."

Listening to Bai You's story, Ye Mo nodded secretly in his heart. Indeed, if the other party discovered that the manager was missing, then after the other party launched an all-round investigation, even if they could rely on the invisible formation to hide in the mountains or woods without being discovered, they would definitely not be able to carry out the subsequent covert actions.

But what does it matter? Ye Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled confidently: "Youyou, if it's exposed, it's exposed. Our exploration will be exposed sooner or later. You know that even if the mining area on the north side is not discovered this time, our presence will be exposed when we go to the port or the Earl's Castle in the central area."

"So it doesn't matter if we arrive early. We already have the advantage in strength anyway. Once we are sure he has been exposed, we will directly break into the Earl's castle and capture the Earl of Verdant Island as quickly as possible."

At the end of his speech, Ye Mo's eyes flashed with brilliance. It was obvious that he had planned this action long ago, and it was indeed so. If one were to ask how to find information about the three-colored shining crystals, then the lord of this place, the Earl of Cangcui Island, would naturally know the most.

It can be said that if he did not have absolute confidence in capturing the Earl of Green Island alive, he would probably have attacked the Earl's castle in the central area as soon as he arrived on the island.

With pets like Hanhan and Xiao Liuer who are comparable to fifth-level kings, as well as the Golden Skeleton King, a true fifth-level strongman, Ye Mo has full confidence in breaking through the castle of the strongest earl.

But the same thing goes, after all, the other party is a family that has been established for hundreds of years. Even if we can't beat them, it shouldn't be a problem to use some trump cards to temporarily stop them.

If the opponent runs away afterwards, it would be a big loss. Or if you accidentally kill the opponent during the battle, it would also be a huge loss.

After all, their main purpose of coming here was to find information about the Three-Colored Radiant Crystal, not to harvest the body of an earl.
