"GEM INSECTS!!!!!"
"RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"THE GEM INSECTS ESCAPE!!!!!!!!!!"
…
Echoes of desperate screams of fear can be heard through the tunnels.
Many Hunters weren't prepared to face these creatures.
Gem Bugs were similar to cockroaches but made of crystal and were as big as a small car. Thus, they were very resistant to blows and spells.
Liu Yang and the group of survivors continued walking through the tunnels looking for a way out, but it seems the culprits want to make things difficult.
The main tunnels were detonated and destroyed, the ones that remained were side tunnels like labyrinths.
Continuing around the map, the group encountered several Gem Insects, but they were easily defeated when they were turned face-up and had their stomachs cut, as it was their weak point.
The most experienced knew this.
Liu Yang pretended not to know anything and just carried the injured people during the trip.
The uninjured veterans dealt with the Gem Bugs.
…
About a day later…
The workers inside the mine were finally able to leave after WE Commerce Chamber Elite Hunters arrived to clear the tunnels.
Many of them went directly to the supervisors to see if they had the minerals extracted from the mine, they didn't care about their lives.
…
"Next!!!"
"Next!!!!
The control center was a small room next to the portal.
It was there to check that no one was leaving the Silver World with ores hidden inside their bodies.
An x-ray and scan machine was set up to look.
Those who had crystals needed to hand over everything so it can be looked at.
If the guard doesn't like the person, he will raise the fee to confiscate as many minerals as possible.
Some women were even intimidated by them.
"Next!!!!"
"Next!!!!"
…
Whenever one was inspected, the next in line could go to the x-ray.
The turn of a person wearing a hoodie and jeans arrived, but the hood and mask covering the face were suspicious.
But when he passed the x-ray, nothing was detected in his body.
The backpack only had some common and some uncommon ores. Nothing out of the ordinary.
"Take off your mask" One of the guards ordered.
Normally, just checking for hidden items was necessary, but when the guard didn't like something, he would cause trouble.
"Senior Xun, we have already verified that there is nothing with him. Is there still any more searching needed?" The other guard understood that his partner was causing trouble again.
"I don't like people who hide their faces. They seem like bad people. If you don't take off your hood and mask, you won't get out of here."
When the two items were removed, the face of a young man with two deep scars was revealed.
"Scan the x-ray again"
"..." The young man didn't ask and just did what was asked.
"You can go out. Next!!!!" Senior Xun ordered after seeing nothing unusual.
…
Leaving the portal, the view of skies covered by dark clouds can be seen.
The moon was already at its highest point and partially illuminated the cloudless areas.
This person walked into some dark alleys, but his body disappeared into the darkness of the night without a trace.
…
Going back to the apartment…
When the door opened, two women were already in the entrance waiting.
But their appearances were tired and anxious.
Seeing the young man on the other side, they rushed to hug him before pulling him inside the house.
"I'm sorry…" Guilt filled Liu Yang's heart.
What happened in the Silver World can be considered his fault.
"Don't say anything…"
"Liu Yang, just let us feel your warmth…"
Katharin and Xinyue were carried to the sofa.
The warm embrace between the trio only ended the next day, they slept in his arms due to exhaustion.
Almost two days without sleep was a really bad thing for them.
Worrying about how Liu Yang was doing was something that made them very distressed.
…
The news about what happened on the mountain controlled by the WE Commerce Chamber scared the other influential guilds because they didn't know how anyone had the courage to do that.
The explosion on the mountain and the burial was the same as openly offending the WE Commerce Chamber. But the culprit has not yet been found, nor the reason.
At first, the WE Commerce Chamber thinks it was the rival guilds, as it was a logical thing to think about.
Many fights take place along the way after mining.
But no fight was as brazen as blowing up the mountain and burying nearly all the workers inside, so another thought popped up.
One of the workers was the target. But who?
That was the most difficult question to answer.
The culprits just remained in hiding waiting for Liu Yang.
Unfortunately, none of them knew that the destruction wrought on the mountain had greatly benefited him.
If this were discovered, they would be spitting blood.
