Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 107 Purge
Chigui Gold Mine.

One of the top ten mines in the Federation.

Located at the border of Qingzhou and Chuzhou, it is about 210 kilometers away from Xingguang City.

The mine has been excavated for 51 years and is a nearly depleted gold mine.

Fifty-one years of mining have resulted in a total length of over 400 kilometers for the main tunnels of the mine, with more than 10,000 branch tunnels. The largest cavity is over 150 meters wide and 21 meters high.

With this much space, building a small stadium would be no problem at all.

At this moment, Ji Fuyou was outside the mine.

He was communicating with a middle-level mental ability user who was around fifty years old and quite well-off.

“Mr. Ji, this is a map of the Red Track Mine. Also, Old Mo is the most senior employee in the mine. He knows the layout of the mine like the back of his hand. He will take you to the location you are looking for.”

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Thanks. If it is indeed the place I am looking for, I will transfer the reward money to you immediately."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Haha, Mr. Ji, take a look first, there's no need to rush."

The middle-aged man smiled broadly: "It is an honor for me, Luo Xin, to meet a pioneer like Mr. Ji."

Fog can even appear in Blue Moon City, 110 kilometers away...

Those with strong spiritual abilities and martial arts skills will predictably become increasingly important.

As a wealthy man who could hardly be called a hunter, the middle-aged man would naturally seize the opportunity to befriend a high-level mental ability user.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the employee named Lao Mo quickly led Ji Fuyou onto the mine train and deep into the mine.

The entire mine is extremely large.

Its internal structure is also incredibly complex.

In particular, most mine tunnels, even the main tunnels, are only three or four meters wide, which gives people an indescribable sense of oppression.

This terrain...

Once blocked by monsters, you'll likely only have two options: advance or retreat, with little room to maneuver.

"This is another map that is not friendly to mental beings. Also, the Corpse Demon... the corpse demonization... it might be an undead creature."

Ji Fuyou surveyed his surroundings, already contemplating the tactics he would need to employ when encountering the Corpse Demon.

At the same time, he was constantly memorizing the terrain of these mines, so that he could use the Great Dream Scripture combined with precognitive dreams to construct his dream world.

The dream of the third level of Huanglong Cave, where the Blood Skull belonged, had just ended.

Based on the timing of the dream, it is estimated that the fog will appear in the Crimson Trail Mine, where the Corpse Demon is located, in 15 to 20 days.

This period was the time he spent constructing his dream world and then using it to try and explore repeatedly.

"Although the Red Track Gold Mine is nearing depletion, mining has not stopped, and there are still many miners working there..."

It is best to close the mining area before the fog appears.

after all……

He will inevitably bring in a large amount of materials for setting traps, which will inevitably arouse suspicion...

An insignificant mine collapse seems like a good choice.

Of course, his inexplicable search for this mine, and the subsequent emergence of mist within it, were such coincidences that they were bound to arouse suspicion.

but……

Even if there were doubts, no one would think too much about it if it happened only once.

With his near-professional title, he could withstand such suspicion.

By the time the relevant people actually obtain any evidence, he may have already become a master.

Even if the truth were revealed at that time, those people could only turn a blind eye.

……

The complex mine tunnels made it quite difficult for Ji Fuyou to search for the locations in his dreams.

Fortunately, Luo Xin had already shown him the route beforehand.

When he arrived at the address Luo Xin had indicated and circled around the area again, he finally found the location where the Corpse Demon "respawned" on a main road that was only about 4 meters wide.

"here……"

Ji Fuyou looked around.

No!

There is no usable terrain!

Dust explosion?

The mine shaft is too small!
Its power is difficult to control!

If things go wrong, the entire mine could collapse, burying him and the Corpse Demon together.

The risk is too great.

As for digging traps...

Given the geological structure around this alley, digging a trap that could threaten the Corpse Demon would be no easy task.

……

Ji Fuyou spent two days surveying the mining area.

Apart from some mine shafts and ventilation shafts, I basically walked through all the accessible mine tunnels to make sure I knew them by heart.

Only then did he leave the mine, settle the bounty, and return to Starlight City.

"The location has been found. Next, we'll test the Corpse Demon in detail..."

Considering that he always encountered a leader-level being among the monsters of a certain type, he changed his title.

"Let's test the strength of the Corpse Demon and the Corpse Demon King."

While pondering, he glanced at his phone.

There was a missed call from Fang Qiyun.

There is almost no signal in the underground mine.

He immediately called back.

Soon, Fang Qiyun's voice came through the phone: "Ji Fuyou? You've left the Misty Zone?"

"It's not the fog zone..."

Ji Fuyou was pondering how to explain the difference between the foggy area and the area with no signal.

After thinking about it, he decided not to explain: "You came out of Blue Moon City?"

"Still in Blue Moon City, but the fog has lifted." "Lifted?"

Ji Fuyou was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, the Central Plains Military Command intervened fully, dispatching two teams led by master-level martial artists, as well as numerous elite squads, which wiped out the monsters in Blue Moon City! Just as we guessed, when the number of monsters dropped to a certain level, the fog also dissipated."

Fang Qiyun explained.

"Has Zhongzhou intervened?"

Although the giant scorpions, blood bats, and skeleton monsters attacking Blue Moon City number in the tens of thousands, they are still somewhat inferior to places like Sky Ridge and Misty Forest.

The Central Plains' intentions may be to save the 330 million citizens of Blue Moon City, or to take advantage of the fact that the alien beasts and monsters have not yet established a firm foothold, and directly send out master-level martial artists to deliver a thunderous blow to the monsters, eradicating them and dispelling the fog...

That would be considered a quick response.

"Although the beasts and monsters have been eliminated, Blue Moon City... suffered heavy casualties, estimated to be over six figures."

Will it be crushed from above?

"It is unclear at present. It may be attributed to a biological or chemical weapon attack by hostile forces, or... it may be made public directly."

Fang Qiyun said.

After a moment, she said, "But this is the third attack on a federal city, and the losses are getting worse each time. The higher-ups will definitely react and will probably set up special response units in all cities to deal with this kind of phenomenon."

"Isn't the Hunter Squad essentially a special reaction force?"

“It’s different. The hunter’s team is a civilian organization, or rather, an unofficial group. They enjoy certain privileges, but they are not under orders.”

Fang Qiyun paused for a moment: "Like this time, within Chuzhou, less than half of the hunters participated in the Blue Moon City rescue. Many people received orders but remained indifferent and uncooperative."

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment, then nodded.

The skeleton monster is clearly a level stronger than the spider-man and the leopard-man.

Even Tan Yuan, a high-level martial artist, died in Blue Moon City. It's not surprising that those intermediate-level hunters, fearing the dangers of Blue Moon City, dare not venture there.

only……

The fact that so many hunters chose to stand idly by despite the severe losses suffered by Blue Moon City will inevitably force the authorities to take action.

"The captain of the special response team in Starlight City should be the president of the Psychic Ability Association. This directly raises the president's power to a higher level. If you agree... you can try to run for the position of president."

Fang Qiyun tried to remind him.

Every position has a concept of "power content".

The former president of the Psychic Association was responsible for the development of the psychic industry, as well as coordinating and handling conflicts between psychics and other forces. He also had the authority to work with local authorities to apprehend psychics who violated regulations.

However, since the number of spiritual beings in each city is limited, the chairman's power may seem considerable, but his actual influence is quite limited.

But if he also takes on the role of captain of the special response team...

Directly take command of an armed force!
It is also an armed force composed of advanced mental energy users and martial artists, with extremely formidable combat power!
This level of power could potentially rival that of a city hall chief executive officer.

“I will venture into the mist from time to time, and this position may not be suitable for me.”

Ji Fuyou replied.

"Then you can decide for yourself."

As Fang Qiyun spoke, she immediately said, "I've obtained your blue physique source crystal. Where are you now? I'll deliver it to you."

"I just came back from outside and will be passing through Blue Moon City. I'll come find you."

"it is good."

Fang Qiyun quickly sent Ji Fuyou a location.

Ji Fuyou glanced at it; it wasn't far.

Although Blue Moon City and Red Track Gold Mine are in different directions, they are generally on the same route.

It would only add 30 to 40 kilometers to the journey.

but……

A journey of two or three hundred kilometers takes four or five hours by car, which is a huge waste of time.

Especially after Ji Fuyou spent two days surveying the Chigui Gold Mine, a place that was both stuffy and hot, he desperately wanted to rest. If only he had a driver…

At least four or five hours are saved.

And this driver selection...

One must be calm, reliable, and keep one's mouth shut.

And it must also have a weakness.

Ji Fuyou's thoughts drifted.

Tang Yue and Tang Rong are still lacking in trust and reliability.

It seems that only Lu Xingchen fits the bill.

……

Soon after, Ji Fuyou arrived at the location given by Fang Qiyun.

A sanatorium in the mountains.

Originally a sanatorium for high-ranking officials, it has now been directly requisitioned by the local government to provide rest and recuperation for hunters.

When he arrived at the villa where Fang Qiyun lived, she had already come out and was waiting for him at the door.

only……

Unlike before, she completely changed her makeup.

Her long, black hair, which was usually tied in a high ponytail, was all cut off, and she got a short bob that reached her ears.

At first glance, it feels a little strange.

Upon closer inspection...

Yet it is full of youthful vigor and spirit.

"What are you..."

"Long hair is very inconvenient during combat."

Fang Qiyun said, "Isn't it pretty?"

"It looks pretty good so far."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Fang Qiyun smiled slightly and handed him a rather small box: "I have fulfilled my mission. Here you go."

Ji Fuyou glanced at it and saw that it was the blue physique source crystal he wanted.
