Chapter 142: Mining Under the Sea

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Some of the humans that Harano Meiji was going to hand over to Hydra to devour were survivors with low skills. Some were criminals on death row on the Nine Dragons Island Nation.

Harano Meiji wouldn’t feel sorry for these people no matter how many of them died.

For Harano Meiji, as long as Hydra could protect the Nine Dragons Island Nation, it was nothing for tens of thousands of people to die every year.

Soon, a large number of soldiers from the Nine Dragons Island Nation escorted a large number of humans and pushed them into the sea for Hydra to devour.

This situation was very normal in a Level 1 sea area. It was a very common scene.

It was just like how humans ate sea creatures and sea creatures ate humans. Survival depended on who was stronger.

In a Level 1 sea area where there were thousands of races, this happened every day. It was common for one race to eat another race.

However, the sea region that Su Yu was currently in was relatively remote. Therefore, Su Yu had yet to witness some things.

In a Level 1 sea area, if one did not have absolute strength, one could not stand up against injustice. The best they could do in such a case was to protect themselves. If they forcefully stood up, not only would they be implicated, but they would also easily cause huge trouble for their own races.

Su Yu was already preparing to sweep through the Silver Rank Sea Creatures and collect various rare resources at the bottom of the sea.

Previously, Su Yu had been delayed by the matter of the merfolk’s treasure vault. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have gone back after two barbaric sea beasts.

[Level 1 Small Energy Stone Mine]

Description: It contains about 10,000 first-grade energy crystals. You are recommended to mine.

At this moment, Su Yu, who was piloting the Ghost Ship, had already stopped at a region somewhere underwater. Looking at the small mountain-like mineral vein in front of him, Su Yu summoned Skeleton 1 and the other skeletons.

Skeleton 1 had already advanced to the peak of the Bronze Rank under the accumulation of a large amount of soul power from the sea beasts. It was only a step away from advancing to the Silver Skeleton General.

After Su Yu hunted a few more Silver Rank sea beasts and handed their souls to Skeleton 1 to devour, advancing to a Silver Rank skeleton would be a piece of cake.

It had to be said that as long as the skeleton race had high potential and was nourished with a large amount of soul power, their upgrade speed was amazing.

“Skeleton 1, bring your subordinates and dig for me from here. Dig out all the Level 1 energy crystals in this small mountain range. Do you understand?”

Looking at Skeleton 1 and the black mass of Black Iron Rank sea beast skeletons behind him, Su Yu used his spiritual power to send a thought over.

“Yes.” In response, the blue soul fire in Skeleton l’s head swayed slightly, indicating that it understood.

After instructing Skeleton 1, Su Yu piloted the Ghost Ship and left the small mineral vein to find the wild beast closest to this location.

Just as Su Yu left, Skeleton 1, who was standing in the sea, emitted a soul fluctuation from the blue soul fire in his head.

Sensing this fluctuation, the Black Iron Rank sea beast skeletons immediately began to move.

Soon, these Black Iron Rank sea beast skeletons began to divide the work among themselves.

Some of the larger sea creature skeletons without arms were in charge of using their hard bones to hit the rocks on the small mine.

The humanoid sea creature skeletons like the sea monkeys began to use their hard skeletal claws to excavate the Level 1 energy crystals.

The bones Black Iron Rank skeletons were even harder than ordinary iron tools. It was not a problem to directly use them as chisels.

It had to be said that the skeletons were perfect as miners. They did not know fatigue at all. Moreover, they did not need food and accommodation.

While Skeleton 1 led his lackeys to excavate the Level 1 energy crystal mine,

Su Yu had already encountered a big creature that was shining with silver light.

[Barbaric Sea Beast—Silver Rank Barbaric Fish]

Strength: 3,434.

Physique: 3,121.

Spirit: 146.

Description: Its bloodline contains the barbaric aura. It has no intelligence and acts purely on instincts. There is a Silver Rank ★★ treasure chest in its body.

Upon seeing this big creature, Su Yu directly summoned the Golden Armored Corpse. He wouldn’t get his hands dirty if he didn’t have to.

After being summoned from the Spirit-Branded Retainer Space, the Golden Armored Corpse received Su Yu’s order and immediately rushed towards the Silver Rank Barbaric Fish excitedly.

Soon, the Golden Armored Corpse used its old method to successfully destroy the other party’s brain tissue and ended the barbaric fish’s life.

After putting the fish into the cabin of the Ghost Ship, Su Yu also obtained the ★ ★ Silver Rank treasure chest that dropped from the fish.

[Silver ★★ Treasure Chest]

Description: It contains a large Al mining machine.

[Large Al Mining Machine]

Description: A large-scale mining machine that is developed in a certain cultivation technology world to solve various complicated mineral veins. It can operate at a depth of 3,000 meters at maximum.

Energy Source: When there is no light, you can use ordinary energy crystals to operate it. When there is sufficient light, you can use solar energy to assist the work of the energy crystals.

Energy Consumption: 1 ordinary energy crystal every half an hour.

“This is good stuff!” After seeing the item in the ★★ Silver treasure chest, Su Yu’s eyes lit up slightly.

Then, Su Yu directly chose to open the ★★ Silver treasure chest in the cabin.

[Ding! Your Quadruple Happiness skill has been automatically triggered. You have obtained an Large Al Mining Machine*4.]

The moment Su Yu opened the treasure chest, four mining machines that were ten meters tall and around eight meters wide with various complicated mechanical arms appeared in the cabin of the Ghost Ship.

Regarding this, Su Yu, who was already very experienced in these technological products, quickly went forward and followed the hint of his insight skill to find the key to turn it on.

[Ding! Owner binding in progress. Please don’t move your body during the process.]

When the machine was turned on, it shone with a blue light and began to bind with Su Yu.

Following this, Su Yu also bound himself to the other three mining machines one by one.

[Please input energy crystals. The current energy storage is insufficient. Please replenish the energy as soon as possible.]

Seeing that the four machines all showed that there was insufficient energy, Su Yu directly used some energy crystals stored in Ghost Ship to replenish the energy of the four machines.

With these machines, Su Yu changed the order and prepared to find the various rare mineral veins in the sea first.

The resources in the Level 1 sea area were unimaginably abundant, but most of them had not been mined.

Most sea creatures would only guard their own personal hoard and would rarely look for mineral veins and resources.

After all, not all materials were useful to them. Other than the energy crystal mine – which was relatively useful to the sea beast race – ordinary fine gold and black iron ore were not much different from ordinary reefs in the eyes of the sea beasts..
