Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

After flying for more than three hours, they finally arrived at the area where the Thunderstone was located.

"Master, there are thunderstones about 900 meters below, and within a radius of 10 kilometers..."

"There are 108986 in total." Hill's voice rang out. "However, since the maximum range we can detect is 10 kilometers, these are Thunderstones within a 10-kilometer radius."

"Perhaps there are more Thunderstones nearby that we haven't discovered yet."

"More than 10 Thunder Stones?" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. In other words, this excavation would allow him to exchange for the lowest-tier fifth-level weapon, the Heavenly Fire Wheel.

Jiang Chen was so excited that he ordered, "Yuan Xintong, you and I go down here quickly and start collecting the Thunderstones. Fang Qia, you're in charge of keeping watch and covering up the surrounding area."

"Yes, Master," Wu Xintong and Fang He replied respectfully.

Jiang Chen immediately burrowed into the ground, and then Yuan Xintong followed suit.

"Go, Mo Yun, help me grab those Thunderstones." With a thought, Jiang Chen immediately sent out long, thin vines from his arms, rapidly extending to grab the Thunderstones.

"With the help of the Cloud Vine, the efficiency of capturing Thunderstones is dozens of times faster!"

Jiang Chen sighed, "This is one of the reasons why auxiliary life forms like the Cloud Vine are so popular in the universe."

Thunderstones are all relatively smooth, and each one is very similar in size. At the same time, each thunderstone contains a trace of thunder power.

However, with over 10 Thunderstones, even if you grab 100 Thunderstones per second, it would still take 1000 seconds.

Moreover, the underground here is quite hard, and it takes a long time for the Moyun Vine to burrow into the ground.

Jiang Chen was relatively fast, thanks to the help of the Moyun Vine. In contrast, ordinary teams relying on human martial artists and mentalists for excavation would be far less efficient.

As a plant, the roots of the creeping vine are naturally adept at penetrating the soil, and because they are very fine, they can penetrate the ground very quickly.

Two hours later.

"Finally done."

Jiang Chen smiled as he watched the Cloud Vine retract. His spatial storage container already contained more than 10...

Ten thousand thunderstones.

"Thank you for your hard work, Moyun Teng," Jiang Chen said with a smile, patting Moyun Teng and tossing him some wood crystals as food.

The branches of the Moyun vine swayed twice, emitting joyful thoughts, showing its innocence and attachment to Jiang Chen.

"So this is the Thunderstone." Jiang Chen flipped his hand, and a Thunderstone appeared in his hand. He stared at it curiously for a long time.

The incredibly slippery stone contained a faint trace of lightning energy, but the energy was so little that it was worthless.

"Let's go, let's continue our search for Thunderstone. There should be more Thunderstone in this area than just this; let's conduct a thorough search."

"Yes, Master."

"There are 12904 satellites within a 10-kilometer radius."

"There are 9996 satellites within a 10-kilometer radius."

"There are 3008 satellites within a 10-kilometer radius."

"There are 789 satellites within a 10-kilometer radius."

"Master, there are a staggering 151178 Thunderstones within this 10-kilometer radius, more than 15 Thunderstones!" Hill reported excitedly.

Jiang Chen wondered if Hill was about to evolve into an intelligent life form, because sometimes Hill's voice contained a trace of human emotion.

However, Jiang Chen didn't care about that now. Instead, he was interested in those Thunderstones. Wow, there were more than 15 Thunderstones here.

The area where the Thunderstone is distributed is roughly 100 kilometers in radius, and the Thunderstone varies in different areas within a 10-kilometer radius.

The two locations contain the most thunderstone. One is the first place Jiang Chen and his team mined, containing over 10 stones. The other is a newly discovered location with over 15 stones.

In other places, the number is much smaller, ranging from a few thousand to ten thousand in ordinary cases, and as few as about a hundred in some places.

"Start digging!" Jiang Chen's eyes gleamed as he gave the order.

Immediately, Jiang Chen and the other two began to burrow into the ground and, relying on the Moyun Vine, quickly grabbed the Thunderstone.

It took nearly nine hours to finally dig out all the thunderstone in this area, leaving not a single piece.

"Thank you, Mo Yun," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Master, how many Thunderstones do we have now?" Fang He asked curiously.

Even if he's stupid, he knows that each Thunderstone represents enormous wealth.

Even the cold, aloof Wu Xintong looked at Jiang Chen with curiosity.

"Including the ones we just mined, we now have a total of 387258 Thunderstones."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"More than 38 Thunder Stones!" Yuan Xintong exclaimed in surprise.

"With that money, you could buy a legion of ninth-tier level slaves!" Fang He exclaimed, his mouth agape in shock.

"We can't waste time, let's hurry and get to the next place," Jiang Chen shouted.

"Yes, Master." Wu Xintong and Fang He were both extremely excited.

After nearly 38 hours, Jiang Chen, accompanied by two bodyguards, finally arrived at the forest area where the second excavation site was located.

"Based on the simplified map showing the distribution of Thunderstones, there are two Thunderstone regions within this 3-kilometer radius."

"That's a 3-kilometer area; each region will take a considerable amount of time."

"Moreover, our ordinary detection devices are completely ineffective. Only the top-of-the-line device is effective."

"Can a single device traverse an area with a diameter of 20,000 kilometers?"

"Ah, I really don't know when we'll finish digging."

"Stop complaining and get to work. If the foreman hears you, you're finished."

"I know, I know, I was digging, but the soil and rocks in this world are just too hard."

"That's right, everyone knows that this place was formed from the primordial energy of the universe, so of course it's hard."

"Hey, dig, dig."

A large force of over a thousand people was spreading out and searching continuously, with some soldiers complaining.

Nine kilometers away from this group, Jiang Chen, Wu Xintong, and Fang He were squatting on the ground. "Master, what should we do? A large group of people have gathered over there," Fang He said nervously. With their master dead...

They have no hope of freedom, and they will all pay with their lives.

"Master, this is bad! It must be that the 200 million troops from beyond the boundary have arrived." Wu Xintong's expression was serious, and she was also somewhat uneasy.

"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded. Now they needed to be even more careful in their actions.

There should be a large group of nearly 10,000 people gathered in this mountain range area, while the original number of adventurers was only over 10,000, so it's impossible for them all to be here.

Then there is only one possibility—the 200 million-strong army has arrived.

Now, in many areas of this new world, an army of 200 million has appeared.

"There's no other way, we'll have to detour and go somewhere else." Jiang Chen glanced at the army and quickly detoured again, flying thousands of kilometers before finally arriving at the second excavation site.

"Master, there are 187397 Thunderstones within this 10-kilometer radius," Hill said.

"Very good, no one has dug here yet. Dig quickly before they arrive!" Jiang Chen gave the order, and everyone sprang into action again.

"Mo Yun, it's up to you again." Jiang Chen encouraged him, and with a thought, a large number of slender vines extended from his arm, quickly penetrating into the soil and continuously going deeper in all directions.

Hill was in charge of guiding L, while Moyun Vine was responsible for grabbing each Thunderstone. When it touched a Thunderstone, the vine would immediately grow leaves and quickly wrap around the Thunderstone.

After digging underground for more than three hours...

The slender vines rapidly contracted, shrinking and merging into Jiang Chen's skin.

"Very good, this area has been excavated. Let's check the surrounding area again." Jiang Chen transmitted his voice telepathically, "Everyone be careful, keep a low profile, and don't get discovered."

"Yes."

"clear."

The three of them carefully and quickly emerged from underground and began to explore the surrounding area.

They quickly explored the surrounding area and found three concentrated areas: 187397 particles,

122202 and 201055 Thunderstones.

In other places, the number is much smaller, ranging from tens of thousands to just over a hundred.

Every minute and every second represents a large amount of Thunderstone being mined.

While Jiang Chen and his team were digging, some people occasionally flew by in the sky, but their detectors were ineffective and could not detect them, so it was a close call.
