This wasn't just a small scale nest like he expected, this could be the nest for the entire western sector or even more that, the entire mining system as a whole!
But the awe of Fang Yang's discovery didn't last long before he saw something that made his scalp tingle.
"What… what is that.." mourners Fang Yang in disbelief
At the floor of the cavern, he saw a humongous pool at least 50 metres wide, filled only with thick crimson blood!
What shocked Fang Yang, even more, was that all the rats gathered in the cavern were seemingly attracted to this blood pool and drinking from it.
As the rats drank the blood, their eyes would burn with a deep red glow as a bloody light flowed over their body, melding into their fur.
"Gulp!"
Fang Yang gulped nervously and watched the countless rats roar and cry crazily as they crawled over and mauled at each other.
Even after rolling around with corpses and skeletons, such an eerie sight sent shivers down his spine.
'I can't stay here!'
Fang Yang didn't know what was going on, but he knew that whatever it was, it definitely was not natural.
This was a conspiracy that he couldn't get involved in. The best thing would be to mention it to one of the foundation establishment elders to deal with.
Turning around, Fang Yang didn't dare take a second look, and quickly began his long crawl back, not daring to pause for even a second.
It was only after he made it back and was greeted with the familiar figure of his corpse puppet that he could actually breathe a sigh of relief.
But even with that, Fang Yang didn't relax. He quickly instructed his corpse puppet to completely collapse the tunnel he just came through.
After that, Fang Yang didn't dare stay near the tunnel and hurried to leave the mines as fast as he possibly could.
But eventually, it seemed like Fang Yang's luck had finally run out. On his way back, he managed to run into a group of 6 mid stage gold eating rats.
Seeing this sight, Fang Yang didn't waste any time and instructed his undead creatures to finish this as soon as possible.
At that moment, the terrifying sight of tens of undead creatures charging could be seen as a bone-chilling roar rang out deep inside the mineshaft.
...
A small distance away from where the battle between Fang Yang's undead creatures and the gold-eating rats was raging on, Senior brother Li and his two junior brothers could be seen walking around in the mines.
After suffering from an unexpected ambush a few days ago, they didn't dare venture out too far inside, lest they suffer from the same fate again. But their cautious nature had come at a cost. It was much harder to encounter gold eating rats and nodes of spirit gold along the outskirts.
Normally this wouldn't be too tragic for them as they could always go to the eastern sector to rob some weaklings
But after that masked bandit started appearing in the eastern sector, they had to eliminate that train of thought.
They even heard that after them, a few others had been robbed as well.
Remembering the humiliation he suffered at the masked robber's hands, Senior brother Li could only grit his teeth in frustration. And when this was added to the fact that he prevented them from going to the eastern sector to make easy money, the masked bandit really seemed to be their nemesis.
But as he was walking, senior brother Li suddenly froze.
"Senior brother, what's the matter?" Asked one of his two junior brothers.
"Can you hear that?" Asked Senior brother Li.
At first, the two junior brothers wanted to deny it, but as they paused, they seemed to hear the faint rumble through the earth and the faint sound of rat squeals.
After giving the sign to his junior brothers, Senior brother Li started to move in the direction of the fighting sounds.
The experience in the western sector hadn't been too profitable, so Senior brother Li wanted to go to the aftermath of the fight to see if he could be like a fisherman on the side and reap some benefits.
Within minutes, Senior brother Li and the others had arrived at the sight of the battle and what greeted them was a familiar sight.
In front of them, they could see a familiar naked figure radiating the aura of a 2nd level Qi refinement cultivator. All around the robed man was the sight of broken skeletons and standing behind him was a familiar, intimidating, giant zombie.
Soon the eyes of the three brothers changed from shock to pure, burning hatred!
It's him! That damned thief!
Seeing the sight of Fang Yang quickly brought the scene of their humiliation fresh into their minds, causing them to grit their teeth in anger.
But soon their gritted teeth turned into a wide smile.
Although they had suffered before, it seems like the heavens still have eyes and have not forsaken them!
The damned robber had obviously just finished a tough fight and 5 of his 10 skeletons had been destroyed.
And besides this, the group of young men also noticed something strange.
Despite just going through a tough fight and being confronted with enemies, Fang Yang still only showed the cultivation of the 2nd level of Qi refinement.
They were too scared to see it when they met before, but now it looked like Fang Yang wasn't intentionally concealing his cultivation to the 2nd level of Qi refinement, but he was actually only at that level.
But if Fang Yang was truly only at the 2nd level of Qi refinement, then to control so many undead creatures, he must have some sort of foundation establishment treasure on him!
As soon as they thought this, the breathing of the three men sped up as their eyes shone with a wolf-like greed.
