Logging 10,000 Years into the Future - Chapter 381
Chapter 381
Zhan Hongyu and the handsome young man were attracted by the exclamation of the bald man and also gathered around.
The middle-aged man, who had the least presence in the team, was also quite excited at this moment, his lips trembling slightly, evidently discovering something just like the bald man.
He reached out and grabbed the Level 7 exotic beast’s corpse embedded in the stone wall, pulling it out forcefully.
Clatter …
Large chunks of rubble fell, and the bald man shone the flashlight on his communication wristband into the pit created by the corpse of the Level 7 exotic beast …
A dazzling light appeared in front of them.
Inside the over-a-meter-thick black rock wall, it was all floating mithril.
Everyone present was knowledgeable enough to know what this was.
“It’s really a mithril mine, and it’s of considerable purity …”
Zhan Hongyu’s expression also became excited. She touched the wall of the pit and said, “It feels like this vein is not small.”
“We’ve struck it rich!”
The bald man laughed, his eyes narrowing into slits as his large, hairy hands kept digging into the wall, pulling out chunks of mithril and gathering them in his arms.
The members of the Tiger Scorpion team were very excited. Even for those who were Star Generals or Masters, mithril still held significant value.
Not to mention, there was so much of it.
“This is enough to greatly enhance the equipment for each member of our team!”
The handsome young man said with a smile, “We can drink Level 7 exotic marrow fluid as much as we want.”
The bald man’s eyes were also turned mithril, and he laughed, “Finally, I can get that Level 7 mithril shield I’ve had my eye on for a long time, and even trade for a Grade S combat suit!”
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile, “Same here.”
Zhan Hongyu was also in a great mood, smiling and about to say something.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure standing quietly beside them.
In an instant, it was as if a bucket of ice water was poured over her head, chilling her to the bone, and she was completely sober.
“Shut up!” Zhan Hongyu cursed.
“Captain, you …” The bald man and the other two were still smiling and wanted to say something, but when they turned their heads.
They saw Zhan Hongyu standing there with an ugly expression, next to … Lu Sheng, standing quietly with his arms crossed, watching them with a somewhat amused smile on his face.
The bald man and the other two immediately felt like they had been doused with ice water, their scalps tingling. Thinking back to their recent arrogant words, each of them wished they could slap themselves hard.
“Sorry, sir …” The bald man quickly threw the mithril in his arms back into the pit, stood there honestly, and bowed his head, “Please forgive us.”
The handsome young man and the middle-aged man also stood up straight, looking guilty and embarrassed.
Lu Sheng’s face showed no emotion.
He lowered his hands and took a casual step forward.
The bald man and the other two immediately tensed up, their faces turning pale.
Zhan Hongyu quickly said, “We haven’t done anything along the way. The mithril mine was discovered by you, sir, so all the gains naturally belong to you. It’s only fair!”
Zhan Hongyu’s words seemed to be directed at the bald man and the other two, but her face was turned towards Lu Sheng, her eyes showing a trace of anxiety and near-begging.
Lu Sheng’s face remained calm, and he gently patted the bald man on the shoulder.
Watching the large beads of sweat dripping from the bald man’s bald head, he said casually, “It’s normal to have greed. I can understand … I can understand.”
The bald man squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, and said with difficulty, “Thank you for understanding … no, for forgiving us.”
Lu Sheng didn’t say anything more, and took out the Red Crystal Dragon Spear that he had never used and slowly began assembling it.
The Red Crystal Dragon Spear was already quite damaged, mainly because it wasn’t well-maintained during the defense of the frontline. But it didn’t matter anymore, as he would soon change weapons.
Lu Sheng assembled the Red Crystal Dragon Spear, red flames rising from the shaft, dispelling the surrounding black mist with heat waves.
He gently shook his wrist, and the Red Crystal Dragon Spear turned into a red shadow and plunged into the wall.
Silently.
The spear turned, releasing a huge shockwave, causing a loud rumbling sound in the pit, and large chunks of mithril fell from the mine.
“What are you all standing there for?” Lu Sheng turned his head to look at the Tiger Scorpion team members, who were still standing there in a daze, not daring to move, and frowned, “Come and help.”
“Oh, oh.”
The Tiger Scorpion team members finally woke up as if from a dream, letting out a long sigh of relief.
The huge fortune had blinded their eyes, and in their excitement, they almost jeopardized the lives of the entire team.
Luckily, Lu Sheng was magnanimous and didn’t get angry, or who knows what the consequences would have been.
“Really strange!” The bald man slapped himself hard, depressed, “Even if I wasn’t following Sir Lu, I wouldn’t dare take a bit of this mithril mine without contributing. How could I just now say such shameless words …”
The handsome young man and the middle-aged man next to him also nodded in agreement.
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but say, “Could it be because of the black mist on the thirtieth floor?”
“Maybe.”
“What are you mumbling about?”
Zhan Hongyu walked over with a cold face, “Didn’t you hear what Sir Lu said?”
“Oh, oh!”
The three of them shivered and quickly got to work.
Damn it, they almost caused a disaster just now, making Sir Lu angry.
Now that Sir Lu had personally asked for their help, they were still foolishly chatting for half a minute … It was really strange.
The three of them felt that the thirtieth floor of this cave was filled with eerie aura, they just wanted to finish quickly and leave as soon as possible.
Boom!
Lu Sheng once again plunged the Red Crystal Dragon Spear deep into the mithril vein, stirring it fiercely, causing a large amount of mithril to fall.
This mithril’s purity was much higher than the first micro mithril vein he found, potentially exceeding his expectations in value.
Lu Sheng used his spiritual power to do preliminary processing on the fallen mithril. Basically, using spiritual power to strip the stone cover off the mithril and compress it, then simply smelting it with flames. Fusing the mithril pieces together to take out as much as possible in one trip.
Lu Sheng was responsible for the rough processing, while the Tiger Scorpion team members were responsible for bagging it.
They emptied all the bags they carried, discarding everything of lesser value except for a few essential items … At this moment, the Tiger Scorpion team members realized Lu Sheng’s foresight.
If Lu Sheng hadn’t asked them to bring more supplies, they wouldn’t have had enough bags to hold all the mithril now.
“Damn! If I had known, I wouldn’t have given those two bags of supplies to the Hongluo (Red Snail) Squad. They could have held a lot of mithril …”
“Exactly, I should have said no to them!”
Lu Sheng suddenly stopped what he was doing, staring at the two men who spoke. The first was the bald man, who had volunteered to share supplies.
The second was the handsome young man, who had a friend in the Hongluo Squad and had brought them here.
Now, both of them seemed to have long forgotten their previous generosity and enthusiasm.
What they showed now was an unusual selfishness and meanness.
“Clearly … they weren’t like this before entering the thirtieth floor?” Lu Sheng’s eyes flickered.
