Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"Why do I feel like this thing is specifically designed to make it easier for others to calculate military merits?" Chu Yuan held a crystal in his hand, which emitted a fiery red light under the sunlight;

Perhaps because it had left the space between its owner's eyebrows, the light was no longer as vibrant.

But it still contains enormous energy.

"...If the Crystalfire Clan heard you say that, they would definitely fight you to the death." Li Mengru was somewhat speechless, and explained, "The crystal between their eyebrows is their vital point, but it is also their strongest weapon."

"Another 'strongest weapon'? Like the tail of a three-tailed lizard?"

"Uh..." Li Mengru was speechless for a moment before she said, "The tail of the Three-Tailed Lizard Clan is like a natural weapon for an unarmed person, and it's even coated with poison."

The crystal between the eyebrows of the Crystalfire Clan is equivalent to giving each member of the clan a martial skill that they are born with!

The energy rays emanating from the crystal between the eyebrows possess astonishing penetrating power! Almost no one of the same level dares to take them head-on!

As for vital points... which race doesn't have a vital point between their eyebrows? If you don't have this kind of crystal between your eyebrows, does that mean you won't die if you get stabbed?

The reason you think that way is simply because you are better than them;

But the Three-Tailed Lizard Clan is one thing, the Crystal Fire Clan also has strong members...

"...If that's the case, then the human race is actually at a disadvantage."

Li Mengru smiled and said, "The advantage of the human race lies not in the outside, but in the inside."

Otherwise, how would we have established ourselves in the outer battlefield from scratch?

Let's go, continue patrolling...

To be honest, the patrol process was a bit boring;

Chu Yuan and his group's combat strength has already surpassed that of this area... In game terms, it's like a level 70 character fighting level 60 monsters;

They also encountered some small teams infiltrated by the Crystalfire Clan, but they were all easily dealt with.

This is normal;

In the outer battlefield, the nine realms check and balance each other and generally do not fight, unless it is a particularly large-scale battle.

It seems to be a tacit understanding, an unspoken rule, that has formed among the various groups.

The eighth realm, below the ninth, is comprised of legion commanders from various armies; naturally, they wouldn't personally engage in such trivial tasks as patrolling...

Below that level are people like Zhang Yue, who also hold high positions and have a lot of responsibilities.

For routine conflicts or missions, having a sixth-realm entry level is already the maximum.

The entry of even stronger martial artists signifies an escalation of the situation!

The difficulty of this kind of mission is not how to kill the opponent, but how to find the opponent;

But by sheer coincidence, when Chu Yuan unleashed his divine sense, it was as if he had activated full-view X-ray vision...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Mengru pried a crystal out from the brow of a Crystalfire Clan member at her feet;

"Let's go, we have two more days to check on military discipline."

Chu Yuan asked curiously, "What are you mainly monitoring?"

"Embezzlement, bullying the weak... and collusion with foreign races, but generally no one dares to commit this one."

"What if they get caught? What will happen to them?"

"If they don't resist, they'll be sent to the suicide squad to atone for their crimes."

"If they resist... they can be executed on the spot." Li Mengru opened the terminal and began operating it, planning a famous route;

It wasn't that they were hiding it from Chu Yuan, but rather that Chu Yuan's time on the outer battlefield was limited, and there was no need for him to understand these complicated procedures in detail.

If I come to the outer battlefield again in the future... then I'll find out then.

As long as you are strong enough, everything else is secondary...

"Let's go to Mine No. 7 first."

......

Fire Gold is indeed very precious, but not so precious that high-level martial artists would personally come to mine it.

Even though the Fire Burning Mountains are dangerous, the mines are mostly inhabited by beings at the second or third realm... there are very few humans, and most are weak alien races that are subordinate to the Great Qin.

Only one squad of warriors responsible for protecting the mining area is directly under the Ninth Legion;

Composed of one sixth-realm warrior and four fifth-realm warriors, they are usually sufficient to deal with the Crystal Fire Clan members who have infiltrated the area.

This is still due to the large scale and high output of Mine No. 7...

"These damn days are finally coming to an end! There's only one month left until the mission deadline." The burly man, shirtless and with thick chest hair, drank heavily.

"I don't know what the boss was thinking, taking on this garrison mission. He's got nothing better to do than give it to me!"

Beside him, a young man sitting on a giant rock with one leg propped up, with a somewhat gloomy demeanor, tossed two nuts into his mouth.

He glanced at the burly man before casually saying, "You're getting the benefits and you're still acting innocent. So many people want to take this mission but can't."

Only the boss has these connections... If you really don't want to, I'll talk to the boss for you and let you keep working for him."

The burly man chuckled awkwardly and muttered, "It's not that I'm unwilling... it's just that I'm bored."

"If you're bored, go cultivate," the young man said casually, his gaze turning downwards again.

There was no sign of human beings in the rocky terrain, only a dense array of holes;

Mine No. 7 has been in operation for a long time. To find Fire Gold again, we must continue to dig deeper, so there are few living creatures on the surface.

After a certain period of time, figures gradually emerged from the passage in the rocky mountain.

They carried baskets on their backs, looking disheveled. After gathering in the open space, they emptied the ore from their baskets and waited for it to be collected and inspected.

Although they may look pitiful, they are not actually mine slaves;

Those of the human race are unwilling to take risks and are afraid of death, so they accumulate military merits in this way, hoping to one day be able to leave the outer battlefield.

Or perhaps they violated military discipline, but not seriously, and mining was their punishment.

Those from other races also came voluntarily;

Their clan's strength was insufficient to compete for such a precious resource as Fire Gold, but they still had a need for it, so they contributed manpower and resources and then shared the spoils with the Ninth Legion.

The miners won't stay here forever; after fulfilling their service term, they can return to their tribe, where another group will take their place...

That's what they say, but how can there be true equality when you're living under someone else's roof?

Someone stepped forward to count and tally the items;

Then all the ore was collected together, and about one-tenth of it was set aside.

The gloomy young man jumped off the giant rock, brazenly put the small pile of fiery gold ore into his storage ring, and then ignored the complicated looks from the miners and left on his own.

Once these shares are in the hands of the youth, they will no longer be recorded in the books;

It's like the miners worked for nothing... but ever since the last miner who dared to question it was publicly executed, no one has dared to say a word...

Chu Yuan's divine sense witnessed this scene, and the gloomy young man's matter-of-fact behavior left him somewhat puzzled.

"Mengru, is the salary for the garrison team something they pay themselves with the Fire Flame Gold Medal?"

"How could that be? It's also a military achievement."

"So, this garrison squad's hands aren't very clean..."
