Chapter 607, Number 77
Black Spring Star.
Beside a lake.
A simple gathering place.
"Boss, we've caught two interstellar scavengers."
The leader brought Xiao Weiqing and Leibo to a burly man.
The burly man had one eye, was very strong and muscular, and stood nearly ten feet tall, like a wall.
Xiao Weiqing frowned slightly. The burly man was only at the Star Lord level, slightly stronger than the leader, and at most a member of the fourth level of the Holy Land. He was not the person they were looking for.
He thought he was so lucky to have run into someone so soon after arriving.
"Don't rush, Xiao Weiqing. Let's investigate the Black Spring Crystal. This planet is quite large. If there is a Black Spring Crystal, it's not a small amount. Hundreds of thousands of credits wouldn't be enough to stop it."
"We might even make a fortune."
Leibo transmitted his voice.
"Take it to Black Spring No. 1163, 15 Black Spring Stones per day," the one-eyed strong man hummed, his voice like thunder.
"15 yuan?"
"Boss, isn't this too much? Ten Black Spring Stones was already the limit before, and many people died. Black Spring Stones are becoming increasingly scarce. I'm afraid these people won't last long with 15 Black Spring Stones."
The one-eyed burly man glanced at the leader and said, "Fine, you can make up for the missing Black Spring Stones yourself."
"..."
"Understood, boss."
The leader dared not say anything more and gave orders to the people behind him:
"Protect to Black Spring No. 1163."
"Yes."
Xiao Weiqing and Leibo were taken to a dark spring.
Although it is called Black Spring, it is actually a huge lake, estimated to cover an area of 300,000 to 400,000 square kilometers from the air.
"You two are in charge of Black Spring No. 1163. Each of you must hand over 15 stones like these every day, or you'll be in for a world of trouble."
"Bang!"
The guards kicked Lebo in the stomach, and Lebo, caught off guard, was sent flying several meters away.
"I'm in good health, I think I can keep this up for a few months."
The escorts turned and flew away.
"Damn it, why doesn't he kick you?"
Leibo got up and rubbed his aching chest.
"Maybe it's because you're ugly."
"Am I ugly?"
Leibo exclaimed in surprise, as if he had heard a joke.
"Xiao Weiqing, I am not as good as you in terms of strength, but in terms of appearance, I am the most handsome man in our civilization. The number of people who want to marry me could circle the planet."
"Men or women?"
"Get lost, of course it's a woman."
"I'll take that as true, handsome man. Let's go down and take a look."
Xiao Weiqing leaped into the black spring, letting his body sink.
As his body submerged in the spring water, Xiao Weiqing clearly felt the heaviness of his body, as if an unknown force was invading his body.
"That's interesting."
It took Xiao Weiqing 10 minutes to finally touch the soft mud and sand at the bottom of the lake.
The immense pressure, coupled with the invasion of an unknown force, created a double pressure that was even stronger than the oppressive force of gravity in the sixth heaven.
Xiao Weiqing released his divine soul power and found that it was somewhat blocked, but it was still clearly visible within ten kilometers.
Walking on the bottom of the lake.
Sudden.
Xiao Weiqing stopped in his tracks.
He discovered something strange: the black spring seemed to be devoid of any life, not even aquatic plants, and was completely lifeless.
No wonder I always felt something was off.
"strangeness."
After walking for a few more minutes, Xiao Weiqing pushed off with his feet, and a black stone the size of a fist emerged from the mud and sand.
Xiao Weiqing bent down and picked it up.
"Is this the Black Spring Stone?"
In Xiao Weiqing's view, apart from being a bit harder, there was nothing special about it.
"Let's go up first."
Splash splash~~
Xiao Weiqing leaped onto the lake and ran across its surface. According to Leibo, their source energy was sealed, so they couldn't fly, but they could run quickly across the lake to keep themselves from sinking.
Xiao Weiqing held the Black Spring Stone and waited on the shore.
Another half hour passed.
Leibo leaped onto the lake, holding a piece of black spring stone in his hand.
"When did you get up here?"
"just."
Leibo looked incredulous; Xiao Weiqing's clothes were completely dry.
"I mean, are we really just going to search for Black Spring Stone like this, and then just wait around?"
"Definitely not."
"I'll go check out other gathering places tonight and gather some information."
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Leibo said, "It's normal to be discovered. We're here for the first time. Under normal circumstances, how could we just accept our fate? We would definitely try to escape."
"That makes some sense."
"By the way, if I go out and take a break, I might not be able to collect 15 Black Spring Stones in a day. Remember to help me out."
"Help with what?"
Leibo said, "Help me find a few more Black Spring Stones. With your powerful soul, it shouldn't be difficult for you. You don't want me to get beaten up, do you?"
"I want to."
Xiao Weiqing nodded seriously.
Leib: "..."
night.
Leibo informed Xiao Weiqing and then left Black Spring No. 1163.
Xiao Weiqing sat on the rock and waited quietly.
......
A few hours later.
"Thump!~"
Leibo was thrown next to Xiao Weiqing like a dead dog.
"Hey, are you alright?"
Seeing that Leibo was breathing more in than out, Xiao Weiqing asked softly.
"It's okay, you won't die."
"Pooh!"
Leibo coughed up a mouthful of blood and leaned against a rock.
"Sure?"
"Brother is in good health and will recover tomorrow."
Leibo also possesses a superior divine body. Although he lacks a physical form, his physique is still quite good, suffering only minor injuries.
"How's it going? Did you find out anything?"
"Of course, otherwise I would have gotten a beating for nothing."
Tell me about it.
"Black Spring No. 77 is 800 kilometers away from us."
"Is the problem with Black Spring No. 77?"
"Yes, according to other miners, a year ago, that Sovereign Realm expert entered No. 77 and never came out again. The miners who were originally in charge of the No. 77 Black Spring are also dead."
Xiao Weiqing asked, "To silence them?"
"I don't know, it's also possible that he died at Black Spring No. 77."
"The current administrators organize a group of miners to enter Black Spring No. 77 every month, and those who survive can gain freedom."
"Really?"
Xiao Weiqing found it hard to believe; letting the miners go under these circumstances would only be possible if the managers had lost their minds.
"It's definitely fake, but those people who have stayed on Black Spring Star for decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years, do you think they wouldn't take a gamble, even if it's fake?"
"Perhaps there's some unknown opportunity inside that could turn their lives around."
"That's true."
When a person loses the will to live, if someone suddenly offers a glimmer of hope, they will try even if they know they will die.
"Shall we go to Black Spring No. 77?"
"No rush. There are still five days until the next recruitment of miners to go to Black Spring No. 77. We can just wait and sign up then."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, "Okay, it's settled then. If I'm not selected, I'll go there openly and honestly. Staying here is a complete waste of time."
"Okay, whatever you say."
