Beastmaster: I am a true genius

The Ming Crystal Mine is located in the Qianming Mountains in Qianming City, Huangyou Province. It is far away from human living areas and hidden deep in the endless mountains. It is shrouded in darkness and fog all year round, and even the sunlight cannot penetrate this thick haze.

This vein of minerals belongs to the Bai family, but it is only one of the veins controlled by the Bai family. It is extremely difficult to mine. It has been discovered two hundred years ago, but only a small part of the outer layer has been mined so far.

This is because there are two "forbidden areas" deep in the Qianming Mountains, which happen to be near the Ming Crystal Ore Veins. They are the nests of the [Night Crying Spiders] and [Ghost Shadow Ghosts]. Thousands of spiders and ghosts are hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to move, ready to feast on the delicious flesh of all living things at any time.

And Kitsune Shichi, with Wanmei and Karachi, is now at the edge of Qianming City, which is the closest human town to the Qianming Mountains. If they leave here and go a few kilometers forward, they will enter the so-called "restricted area".

"There have been three emperor-level Night Crying Spiders in the Qianming Mountains. They are all partners of eight-star beast masters, so the higher-ups don't allow the Night Crying Spiders to be exterminated. Also, if you come across spider eggs—they are black and look like gemstones—you must remember to bring them out. Night Crying Spider eggs are much easier to sell than energy ore."

The head of the Bai family explained that she was a tall, plump lady with bronze skin, golden lines painted on her body, and she was filled with a mysterious sense of power.

As the person in charge of the mine, she has five-star strength and is a private soldier trained by the head of the Bai family.

Then, the man turned on the projector and used a 3D model to show the scale of the vein and its actual location, including the location of the Ming Crystal Ore Mother.

502 billion, including the nearby mountains, sold as a whole.

This is a very reasonable price. The Bai family did not deliberately raise the price, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

"Thank you for reminding."

Kitsune Shichi thanked him and signed his name on the mineral transfer agreement without hesitation. His eyes stayed on the position of the mother ore for two seconds, but he showed no expression.

She turned the pen in her hand and thought for a while.

"Ma'am, I want to confirm with you again. There are no humans near the mine, right? If we mine the mine, earthquakes or landslides are likely to occur. I hope the Bai family can help inform and disperse the people nearby."

"The relevant notice has been issued this afternoon, and patrol teams have been sent to conduct aerial inspections. There is not even a single person in the area. If you see anyone, it must be a ghost."

“…That’s really great.”

Ghost? Kitsune Shichiyan smiled insincerely.

Afterwards, she signed some other documents, and the ownership of the Ming Crystal Mine was officially transferred.

Soon, an hour later, Kitsuneya Nana shook hands with the lady in charge and said goodbye.

"Then I'll go check out the mine first. If there's no problem, the money will be transferred to the account agreed in the contract within this month. Please understand that large remittances will take a while to be approved."

"Haha, that's of course no problem." The other party also smiled brightly.

After the negotiation, Kitsune Shichi put away all the materials and pulled at Karachi who was wrapped around her wrist. The latter instantly activated [Space Transfer], and they airdropped directly from the conference room to the depths of Qianming Mountains.

Huangyou Province is colder than Qilin Province, and the forests here are not as green as ordinary forests. They are grey and dark overall. The trees are tall and the branches are twisted. Occasionally, wind blows through the sparse leaves. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but the sound sounds like a child crying.

"This place doesn't look very auspicious..."

Kitsuneya Nana muttered to himself.

Although her mental power extended several kilometers and covered everything around her, she always had the illusion that someone was sneaking around in the dark to track her down.

Perfect and Karachi landed at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, transforming into human forms, both of them were tall, had long hair, and were indistinguishable as male or female.

The breeze blew, lifting Karachi's long hair, but the perfect silver hair was as solid as a rock, not a single strand of it was willing to move from its original position.

Kitsune Shichi stared at the two men's peerless looks, and suddenly felt that the Qianming Mountains... didn't seem particularly gloomy after all.

"Let's go," she said to the two men. "Let's go in and take a look."

The Ming Crystal Ore Vein is a dark attribute vein. The entrance to the cave where it is located is blocked by a huge stone wall by the Bai family.

"Rumble--"

Karachi moved the stone wall away, picked up the five-meter-high boulder and put it aside. His seemingly slender arms didn't even require much strength, and it looked very easy.

"It smells bad."

Kitsune Shichi took a step back reflexively. She took a look inside, and before she even went in, she smelled that the inside of the cave was very humid, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench.

Although the Bai family said that this cave was safe and that two-star beastmasters could enter, Kitsune Shichi still sank into the perfect body, as if a thin film was wrapped around his body, and activated [Oxygen Production].

"Tick, tick..."

Moisture continued to seep out of the walls, echoing in the empty cave. Kitsune Shichi and Karachi were both floating, not stepping on the sticky, wet ground.

They walked down all the way until they reached the end of the mine, and there was no way forward.

However, this road is very simple, almost dug straight down, only a few dozen meters, with no forks in the road, and no wild ghosts or pets encountered along the way. Perhaps it had been "cleaned" in advance by the Bai family.

"Looks OK."

Through the perfect distance, Kitsuneya Nana suddenly spoke, even though she knew clearly that Karachi could not hear her.

The walls glowed blue.

There is a piece of ore as big as a fist exposed outside.

Kitsuneya Nana floated over, turned on the flashlight, and checked the wall at the end of the passage.

Just as it was written in the information, this Ming crystal ore was a dark blue ore. The piece in front of me was of intermediate grade. Apart from its dirty edges, the inside of the ore alternated between dark blue and purple. When illuminated by the strong light of a flashlight, it actually emitted a colorful glow, just like stars twinkling in the night sky.

This piece was probably dug and placed there specially by the Bai family.

“It looks good, and the color is nice.”

Kitsune Shichi commented with great satisfaction and touched the surface of the ore. It was smooth, hard, and had a warm, jade-like feel.

"Eat it, it's perfect."

Kitsune Shichi said, watching the thin film on his hand covering it, and the crystal ore disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"what about the taste?"

'……good……'

It was a perfect answer, and there was a hint of excitement in the tone, but he was forcibly suppressing it at the moment.

Just a few months ago, even for the 'Jue' which had almost no energy, it had a hard time swallowing it, but now it can swallow a piece of intermediate ore with abundant energy in seconds.

Kitsuneya Nana was not surprised.

After all, the perfect [Devouring] skill has reached the ultimate level, and this is not a level of proficiency that can be achieved through hard work alone. It also has very high requirements for talent.

However, swallowing intermediate ore in seconds...

What a waste of money and family wealth this is...

Looking at the perfection, Kitsune Yashichi wanted to sigh.

Because this piece of intermediate energy mine can support dozens of inter-provincial space teleportations and is worth at least 10.

But putting it in the perfect mouth... I can't say it's completely useless, I can only say it has a slight presence...

"When Karazi and I go out later, you restore your original form and start devouring. Try not to eat those messy things and only pick out the ore to eat... If you encounter an ore mother like Susu, try to control it and pick it out for me."

Kitsune Shichi said to Wanmei, pondered for a few seconds, and did not take the piece of Ming Crystal Ore to heart.

Not to mention the same type of pets, just one is enough. Kitsune Shichi's main consideration is that Susu's race upgrades too slowly. If she insists on contracting the Mingjing Ore Mother, the best way is not to give Wanmei the ore, leaving the ore for the Ore Mother to upgrade, which would be putting the cart before the horse.

Right now, there are three pets waiting in line at home, and Kitsune Shichi is really not in a hurry to find a new pet.

So she turned off the flashlight, peeled out of the perfect body, and held Karachi's arm.

"Come on, Karachi, let's go out."
