How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?

The next day, Long Dong went out to gather information as usual. He went to the mine again to take a look. He was shocked. The Xiang family had arranged several times more people to mine.

Seeing piles of crystals being transported out of the mine, Long Dong felt a pang of pain. In order to snatch the precious crystals, Long Dong immediately began to plan how to secretly dig out the crystals from the mine.

Long Dong has the habit of sleeping every day. When Long Dong sleeps, the demon god who is responsible for monitoring Long Dong usually stays outside the manor. Long Dong plans to take advantage of this and dig out the crystals in the mine late at night.

During the day, Long Dong was still gathering information as usual. At night, Long Dong went to bed on time as usual. The one who was in charge of monitoring Long Dong today was still the Demon God Gerald.

In order not to arouse Gerard's suspicion, Long Dong made a dummy and put his clothes on it. In order to ensure that Gerard would not find anything unusual, Long Dong also put a trace of his mental power on the dummy to simulate his own breath. After everything was ready, Long Dong found the right time to sneak out of the manor.

Mine. Even though it was late at night, the miners were still digging intensively. Long Dong didn't want anyone to notice anything unusual. He went straight past them and went deep into the cave.

In order to avoid being noticed, Long Dong decided to only pick high-quality crystals this time. The remaining low-quality crystals were left to the Xiang family. Long Dong still used the old method to mine. Long Dong first used the low-quality crystals in the vein to make a crystal wall to isolate himself from the noise of mining, and then used the sand shadow mud soldiers to mine frantically.

Because Long Dong only picked high-quality crystals and the vein was not particularly large, Long Dong spent very little time this time. It took Long Dong less than an hour to dig through the vein.

Long Dong did not take the low-quality crystals and kept a small portion of the high-quality crystals. Long Dong knew that if he took all the high-quality crystals, it would sooner or later arouse suspicion from others.

This mine didn't produce many high-quality crystals. There weren't any top-quality or premium amethysts. Long Dong dug up seven mid-quality amethysts and dozens of low-quality amethysts. There were countless other premium and high-quality crystals.

In this vein, Long Dong also found three rare gems and a huge amount of Xuanming Divine Iron. The three rare gems are Kenuo Spirit Stone, Fire and Cold Spirit Stone and Nine Soul Spirit Stone. Kenuo Spirit Stone can increase the vitality and recovery of the holder.

According to folklore, the Knoling Stone is the tear of the goddess of life, and whoever obtains it is equivalent to receiving the blessing of the goddess of life. If a weapon is made of Knoling Stone, it will become a very powerful healing artifact.

The Fire and Cold Spirit Stone has both fire and ice properties. It can be used as a material to refine staffs and swords with dual properties of ice and fire. Zheng asked Long Dong to use the Fire and Cold Spirit Stone to refine a powerful staff for Wang Tingting.

As for the Nine Souls Spirit Stone, it is a gemstone with powerful soul power. It can assist people in cultivating souls and spiritual consciousness, and can also be used to refine artifacts that control people's souls and spiritual consciousness. Soul artifacts are difficult to refine and the materials are difficult to collect. Long Dong plans to keep the Nine Souls Spirit Stone to assist in cultivation.

As for the Mysterious Iron, Long Dong planned to use it to mass produce magic armor. The Mysterious Iron that Long Dong dug up was not only of top quality, but also in large quantities, amounting to hundreds of tons. If all of this Mysterious Iron was used to make magic armor, Long Dong felt that making tens of thousands of sets of magic armor should not be a problem.

The materials used in the magic armor that Long Dong had previously made were not particularly good, so their power was limited. Long Dong felt that if the magic armor made with this batch of Xuanming Divine Iron was used, the quality of these magic armors should be comparable to the god-level magic armors. Long Dong planned to use Xuanming Divine Iron to build an armor team. However, this is a story for later.

After Long Dong finished digging the ore vein, he returned to the manor without anyone noticing. After seeing that Gerald did not react, Long Dong fell asleep early.

Because Long Dong did not take away low-quality crystals and ores, and even left some high-quality crystals and ores, the Xiang family did not find anything unusual. Long Dong was relieved to see this.

After some inquiries, Long Dong learned that the Xiang family had already dug up three pieces of top-quality amethyst. Xiang Zhuangke and Lin Batian had a fierce confrontation over the ownership of the amethyst.

Although Xiang Zhuangke, Zhu Jiyan and others put pressure on Lin Batian not to hand over the top-grade amethyst, Lin Batian was not a pushover. In the end, Lin Batian obtained two top-grade amethysts.

After Long Dong woke up, Tai Xu told Osiris about Long Dong. Only then did Osiris and Dot know that Long Dong had accidentally entered the Devil's Abyss.

Osiris and Dot did not act rashly after learning that Long Dong was safe. After all, Osiris and Dot alone could not bring Long Dong back from the hands of so many demons.

Long Dong told Osiris and Duote everything he knew through Taixu. Long Dong also told the dragon clan about Lin Batian's idea. The dragon clan leader Duote immediately convened a dragon clan meeting to discuss.

Although Long Dong spent a long time investigating his parents' information, he gained almost nothing. Instead, he used this time to get a clear understanding of the family power of the Holy Demon Empire.

Long Dong learned that there are ten super families in the Demon Abyss. The ten families are basically divided into four factions. Among the ten families, Lin Batian's Lin family is the most powerful. The Yao family is the iron brother of the Lin family. Lin Batian advocates seeking independence and establishing a powerful Holy Demon Empire respected by major forces in the world.

The three major families, Xiang, Zheng and Zhu, were very radical. They advocated attacking other planes, especially the Earth where the Dragon Empire was located.

The Yu, Meng, Song and Fan families are conservative. The attitudes of these four families are unclear. Usually they stand on the side of whichever side is stronger.

In addition, there is the Wen clan's peace faction. The Wen clan advocates peaceful coexistence with people from other planets. Because the Wen clan advocates peace, the Wen clan is also suppressed by the Xiang clan, Zheng clan, and Zhu clan. The Wen clan is weak and is also the least visible of the ten major clans.

Long Dong also heard that the Wen family intermarried with other races. In the Wen family's territory, Long Dong saw many people of other races. Humans, dwarves, elves, demons, etc. Long Dong even found Ming Hai, a businessman from the Shenlong Empire who did business with the Wen family.

Minghai was also shocked when he saw Longdong. Because Minghai did not expect to meet the emperor on the Holy Demon Star. Although Longdong had been missing for several months, the Dragon Empire was running in an orderly manner under the management of the ministers. The people did not even know that Longdong had been missing for several months. They only knew that Longdong led the Dragon Empire army to defeat the invading enemy.
