Chapter 343: Stone King’s Heart

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Half an hour later, Happy, Thunderous Battle, and his entire group appeared in the chamber with the mechanism in a crystal mine.

Their mighty group had been reduced to one-fifth of its original size!

Because of the establishment of the alliance of the five sects, each of them could only have one-fifth of each of the second level of the mines. By doing so, it was easy for them to maintain their relationship and stay close enough to fight together. If they ran into any enemies, they would not be defeated, and all five sects could react at the same time.

There were nearly forty people there, and they split into three groups to enter the chamber.

Some of the players in the first level were stunned when they saw them. Ignoring them, the group used up twenty four berthierites in one go so that they could all enter the second level of the crystal mine!

Once the group vanished from the first level, the people in the halls within the crystal mine in the first level instantly burst into a commotion.

“What the heck?!”

“How spendthrift!”

“Whew... I heard that they also had a lot of people enter the other four mines. Tsk tsk, they’re seriously ready to explore the second level at full strength. As expected of Mu Clan.”

“I heard that each of the miners will have to give up half of their loot.”

“What the heck?! With such a stable and safe environment, even half of their loot is much higher than ours, you know?!”

The miners in the first level gasped in amazement and were incredibly envious.

The drop rate for crystals in the second level was much higher than in the first level. Besides, there was a possibility that supreme grade crystals would be unearthed! Even if a person was unfortunate enough to only obtain one Stone with Water a day, Mu Clan would still obtain tens of millions of taels of silver in one day. If they could get supreme grade crystals like unakite or something of even higher grades... In just one month, Mu Clan’s income would reach unimaginable heights.

Just from that alone, Mu Clan’s boldness and resolution were something that Jade Fox Palace and the other sects could not hope to compare to. As for Chivalry Sect, they should not be able to gather more than one hundred berthierites within a short amount of time.

Quite a number of people began to wonder whether they should seek shelter from Mu Clan...

“Is that your target?”

Once Happy had the ladies from Black Rose Clan and his friends from Beautiful Robes Faction head to mine their own crystals in the second level of the crystal mine, his gaze landed on the Stone King that was running around because it was chasing after a sect member of Blood River Sect, who had arrived ahead of the others!

Stone King was a stone-based monster in Moksha Realm. It was the leader of golems, but it would never form a party with inferior golems. It preferred to lurk around places with high-grade metal and crystal mines.

Stone King had a sturdier and better built body compared to Stone Giants. Its entire body seemed to be made of metal, and the contours of its face were very similar to a human’s. In fact, even its eyebrows were very prominent. It looked like Buddha’s warrior attendant, but a very fierce one, and it was incredibly mighty. When it walked, the earth trembled beneath its feet.

“That’s right.” Red Coral stood behind Happy with a solemn expression. “The quest requires me to get Stone King’s Heart. It’s the sturdiest item in the world.”

Happy said nothing. He moved a little when he heard those words and cast Red Coral a surprised glance.

“Judging by your words, you will need other unique quest items as well, right?”

Red Coral sighed. “Yes, the quest stated that I must get a section of a Thousand-year Blood Sucking Wood. Legends say that it is the most wicked item in the world. The other items are just as difficult to find. They’re all rare and strange items.”

“Thousand-year Blood Sucking Wood... Based on the name itself, I reckon that it won’t be any easier to deal with than Stone King.”

“I know, right?” For the first time ever, Red Coral had a slightly evasive look in her eyes as she spoke.

But Happy did not mind it. Those unusual quest items could already answer some of his questions.

“Looks like the quest you accepted is no trivial matter. Even if you get Stone King’s Heart, you won’t be able to complete the quest anytime soon. Besides, right now, we don’t have the power to win against Stone King.”

“I know this as well, that’s why I don’t need it immediately, but I really hope that once you kill Stone King, you will tell me immediately, I will buy Stone King’s Heart from you at a suitable price.”

“There’s no problem with that.”

Once she got Happy’s promise, Red Coral finally released a breath of relief.

She had asked her friends to help her with the other items. Even though it was hard, it was not impossible to collect all of them. The hardest was still the Stone King. Since the space in the second level of the crystal mine was small, intellect would not be of much use to kill such a huge monster in Moksha Realm. Absolute strength was needed to succeed.

Red Coral would not feel at ease to rely on anyone else in the game at that moment for that task except for Happy, who had safely escaped from Ninja King in the royal mausoleum.

“Okay.” Happy looked around.

He noticed that there were already around thirty miners from the four sects in the second level, but there was still a lot of empty spaces. “What a waste. If you have nothing to do, you can go and mine the walls a little. You might be able to get supreme grade crystal ores. If you don’t do that, it’ll be too much of a waste for you to have come here.”

Red Coral and Black Rose were instantly rendered speechless.

He actually asked two beauties to pick up pickaxes and mine a cave. Perhaps only Happy would be able to say such words.

But Happy was indeed telling the truth.

The second level of the crystal mine could be said to be filled with gold at every corner. Before the absolute powers took complete control of all the resource points, countless bloody slaughters happened practically every day.

It was especially so during the blowout period for echelon weapons and armor. Sects of various sizes, some of the powerful guilds, and many powerful players who acted alone would personally join the excavation. They would go mad for a chance to be able to dig out crystals and metal ores safely for a day or even half a day.

The stones affected countless people’s lives.

They could cause an innumerable number of people to lose their lives in one day, and they could also cause many people to become rich overnight!

In truth, when Happy stood in this crystal mine that had not been filled up, he actually had the urge to fill it up with people!

But that was not practical.

The people from Jade Fox Palace, Chivalry Sect, Righteous Sect, and Blood River Sect were going to quickly fill up the place with their people once they calculated the disparity in benefits. There was no need to destroy the good atmosphere and the stability of the alliance for a momentary benefit.

When he thought of this, Happy suddenly turned his gaze toward Stone King, who was not too far away.

‘Speaking of which, I didn’t come here to personally mine crystals.’

Under Red Coral, Black Rose, Thunderous Battle, and the others’ stunned gazes, he brought out a sparkling silver armor from his Universe Bag and put it over his blue robes. Then, he brought out a pair of gauntlets and greaves.

A brand new silver equipment was pieced together, and it looked incredibly mighty. It made Happy look like a general with silver armor! And it soon attracted the attention of all the people in the cave.

Happy did not say anything. He cast a glance at the Blood River Sect member who ran over while leading Stone King around. His pupils shrank, and he grabbed his Noble Sword before he shot over like an arrow.

“You can hand it to me now.”

The Blood River Sect member had guessed that it would happen from the moment Happy changed his equipment. He grazed past Happy in an incredibly agile manner, and Stone King’s attention shifted to Happy.

Right under the others’ shocked gazes, Happy quickly activated his Golden Bell Cocoon and crashed violently into Stone King, who was huge and had a fierce disposition.
