Chapter 415 Extracting Minerals

On the other side, Xiao Qi was confronting the Hun high priest.

The high priest's eyes were filled with disdain: "A little girl, you dare to challenge this priest? Today I will let you know the difference in strength! In front of me, you are nothing but an ant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and black runes flew out from his fingertips, gathering into a huge black vortex in the air, swallowing up everything around it like a black hole, and swept towards Xiao Qi at an extremely fast speed.

Xiao Qi was not afraid at all. He swung the Yitian Sword and an ice-blue sword energy shot up into the sky, colliding with the black vortex.

In an instant, spiritual energy overflowed, and the surrounding air was vibrating and seemed to be torn apart.

Xiao Qi relied on the power of the Sword of Heavenly Sword and his own flexibility to rush forward and block the high priest's attack.

Seeing that his attack failed, the high priest's face changed slightly, and he waved his hands again. Countless black blades shot out from the vortex, like a black rain all over the sky, shooting towards Xiao Qi. They were so dense that there was nowhere to hide.

Xiao Qi's body was agile, like a blue phantom, weaving through the sharp blades while displaying the Vajra Body.

A golden shield appeared around her, blocking the incoming sharp blades one by one, but the Vajra Body was not a very good martial art after all. Facing the ultimate move of the Tribulation Period, the shield was constantly impacted and cracks appeared.

At the same time, Xue Tianhan and others were fighting fiercely with the black-robed man's men.

Although these men were not as strong as Xue Tianhan and his men, they had the advantage of being numerous and working in harmony. For a while, Xue Tianhan and his men found it difficult to resist.

Xue Tianhan waved the Pangu Axe, and wherever the axe passed, the men in black robes dodged, but they soon surrounded them again, forming a tight encirclement, like an iron barrel, making it difficult for Xue Tianhan and others to break through.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei stood back to back, cooperating with each other. Xiao Huang kept waving his dog spirit stick to repel the approaching enemies; Xiao Hei seized the opportunity, teleported behind the enemy and launched a fatal blow.

Lady Green Snake and Hu Meiniang were also fighting hard among the enemies. Their offensive was so fierce that the men in black robes dared not underestimate them. However, as the enemies grew in number, their spiritual power was being consumed. Scars gradually appeared on their bodies, and their clothes were stained with blood.

On Xiaoqi's side, the battle with the high priest entered a white-hot stage.

Seeing that Xiao Qi was so difficult to deal with, the high priest couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. He roared, and the black spiritual power around him surged wildly. He seemed to have turned into a black demon, emitting a terrifying aura.

He raised his hands high and muttered something. A huge black magic circle appeared under his feet. A strong suction force came from the magic circle, trying to suck Xiao Qi in, as if to swallow her.

Xiao Qi only felt a powerful force pulling her. She gritted her teeth, mobilized all the spiritual power in her body, and injected it into the Sword of the Heavenly Sword.

The sword of the Heavenly Sword shone brightly, and the ice-blue light illuminated the entire battlefield like daylight.

Xiao Qi shouted loudly, swung the sword and slashed at the high priest.

A huge ice-blue sword energy cut through the sky, like a blue dragon, majestic and powerful, rushing towards the high priest at an extremely fast speed.

The high priest's face changed drastically, and he quickly cast a spell to resist. However, the power of the Heavenly Sword was too strong, and the sword energy broke through his defense and slashed him.

The high priest screamed, flew backwards, spurted out a mouthful of blood, drew an arc in the air, and fell heavily to the ground.

He looked at Xiao Qi in horror, his eyes filled with resentment. "You... you actually managed to hurt me! You're lucky today, but I'll settle this score with you sooner or later! I, the High Priest of the Xiongnu, will never let this go!"

After saying that, he quickly cast a spell and disappeared into the stone forest with his men, like a ghost.

After dealing with the black-robed men, Xue Tianhan and others quickly focused all their attention on the guardian beast.

Although they had experienced a fierce battle and their physical and spiritual strength had been depleted, everyone's eyes were firm. They looked at each other and tacitly formed their formations.

"Everyone, concentrate all your efforts and attack together. We must solve this problem completely this time!" Xue Tianhan shouted loudly, with unquestionable determination in his voice.

Xiao Qi held the Yitian Sword and cast a more powerful and concentrated ice spell. The water vapor in the air quickly condensed, and countless sharp ice cones shot towards the guardian beast like a dense rain of arrows.

These ice cones not only blocked the guardian beast's movements, but also left marks on its hard scales.

Green Snake Lady and Hu Meiniang cooperated even more tacitly. Green Snake Lady waved her two fans, and a strong wind blew. The wind blades mixed with sand and stones cut the scales of the guardian beast like sharp blades, weakening its defense.

Hu Meiniang seized the opportunity, and the dragon bone whip flew out like a snake, accurately wrapped around the horns of the guardian beast, and then pulled hard, trying to make it lose balance.

Xiao Huang held up the dog spirit stick, muttering something. The light on the dog spirit stick became more and more dazzling. He aimed at the relatively weak part of the guardian beast's abdomen, jumped with all his strength, and smashed it down hard, causing considerable damage to the guardian beast.

Xiao Hei used the power of space to constantly teleport around the guardian beast and launch attacks unexpectedly. Every attack he made could accurately hit the guardian beast's vital points.

Xue Tianhan seized the opportunity and mobilized all his spiritual power to pour it into Pangu Axe. The runes on the axe body shone brightly, emitting an ancient and powerful aura.

He roared and rushed towards the guardian beast like a black lightning. Pangu Axe, with the momentum of creating the world, chopped down the guardian beast's back fiercely.

The blow was so powerful that the guardian beast felt pain and let out an earth-shaking roar.

Under the joint attack of everyone, the guardian beast struggled in pain and tried to spit out flames to fight back, but Xiao Qi's ice magic and the wind spiritual power of the Green Snake Lady cooperated with each other to effectively suppress the power of the flames.

As the attack continued, the guardian beast's movements became slower and slower, and more and more scars appeared on its body.

After a fierce battle, the guardian beast finally gave way. It uttered a mournful wail, the fierce gleam in its eyes gradually extinguished. Finally, its massive body collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Xue Tianhan and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they saw their guardian beast defeated. They supported each other, their faces wearing tired yet victorious smiles.

"It's finally solved. Now I can rest assured." Xiao Huang said while panting.

Xue Tianhan nodded slightly and looked at Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi, thanks to you, otherwise we would be in trouble today."

Xiao Qi smiled and shook his head. "Everyone has contributed. Now we have to find a way to take this rare refining material away. They might come back. We can't stay here for long, or we'll have more trouble."

Madam Green Snake and Hu Meiniang wiped the sweat from their foreheads and smiled at each other, "That's right, we can't stay here for long. We have to leave this troubled place as soon as possible."

Xiao Huang looked at the mountain and said solemnly, "This mineral is distributed throughout the mountain, making it extremely difficult to extract it completely. Furthermore, the mineral veins are interconnected. If we accidentally disrupt the vein structure, not only will the extraction efficiency decrease, but the quality of the mineral may also be compromised."

Xue Tianhan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "We have limited time, so we must act quickly. Everyone, listen up. First, find the key nodes of the ore vein and start extracting from there."

Everyone nodded, then dispersed and began to explore for mineral veins based on their own abilities.

Xiao Qi used his ice-type spiritual power to sense the direction of the underground mineral veins;

Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei use their keen sense of smell to search for traces of minerals on the surface of the mountain;

Hu Meiniang wielded a dragon bone whip, striking the mountain to determine the location of the mineral vein by the sound;

Lady Green Snake used spiritual power as a guide to carefully explore the direction of the flow of spiritual power in the mountain.

After some effort, Xiao Hei was the first to discover a key node of a mineral vein.

It quickly sent out a signal, and when everyone arrived, they saw a faint colorful light shining through the rocks of the mountain, which was a sign of mineral material.

Xue Tianhan wielded the Pangu Axe, infusing it with spiritual energy, and struck at the rock at the node. With a loud bang, the rock crumbled, revealing the brilliantly colored mineral within.

However, as soon as the mineral material was exposed, the surrounding situation suddenly changed.

I saw the nearby gravel, dust, and even some small metal objects, all as if being pulled by an invisible big hand, rapidly gathering towards the ore, just like a magnet attracting iron filings.

Not only that, everyone's weapons and metal accessories began to tremble slightly, as if they were about to break free from their restraints and fly away.

"Oh no, this mineral seems to have a strong adsorption force, like a magnet, it will attract surrounding objects!" Lady Green Snake warned loudly.

Everyone quickly stabilized their bodies and tried their best to resist this powerful suction force.

Xiao Qi's ice-blue spiritual energy circulated around his body, forming a protective film to resist the pull of the adsorption force;

Lady Green Snake waved her two fans, using her wind-type spiritual power to create a reverse force, slowing down the tendency of the suction;

Hu Meiniang gritted her teeth and held the dragon bone whip tightly to prevent it from being sucked away.

While resisting this suction force, Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei quickly stepped forward to assist Xue Tianhan in continuing to mine materials.

They carefully cut the mineral materials with tools and put them into special containers.

As the mineral materials were continuously taken out, the adsorption force became stronger and stronger, and the surrounding objects were adsorbed at a faster speed, and even some larger stones began to move slowly.

"We can't go on like this. We have to find a way to suppress this suction force!" Xue Tianhan shouted.

Lady Green Snake thought for a moment and took out a few special jade stones that emitted a soft light.

She placed the jade around the ore and infused it with spiritual energy. The jade shone brightly, forming a spiritual barrier that temporarily weakened the ore's absorption power.

Everyone took the opportunity to speed up the extraction process.

After a lot of hard work, they finally extracted enough minerals, and the special container was filled to the brim. At this time, everyone was exhausted, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Okay, that's enough, let's leave quickly." Xue Tianhan said.
