Chapter 293: Fast change of heart

“Since you’re not willing to live, I’ll beat you until you leave.”

The mud giant yelled. The Yuan crystal in his chest blinked brightly, spreading energy to its limbs. It then launched an attack.

But at the ground instead of Lin Fan.

Bang!

The punch created a pit in the ground.

“Living thing, this is what will happen to you if you choose not to leave.” The mud giant threatened.

The tiny living things hidden in the dark turned to each other.

“Haha, great! The mud giant I made is so powerful!”

“Wow, look at the pit. How strong is it?”

“This is great! The living thing must be afraid! He’ll leave soon.”

Suddenly!

The place shook.

Lin Fan sent a punch to the ground, forming a pit as well. Cracks could be seen expanding outwards like a spider web.

The area the mud giant was initially standing in sank, making it lose its balance.

“You are the one that should step aside before you get crushed.”

Lin Fan side-eyed the giant. Its previous attack was nothing to him.

Dumbstruck, the giant stared at Lin Fan with wide eyes. “Living thing, since you’re not willing to leave, I can only chase you out.”

Boom!

Lin Fan attacked the giant.

The giant wasn’t that weak after all.

But it was still too weak compared to Lin Fan.

Bang!

Under his attack, it collapsed.

“Really don’t know where you stand.” Lin Fan said.

The tiny beings’ jaws dropped. They couldn’t believe there was a living thing so powerful that he could destroy their golem.

“The scent here is very strong, which means that this place is filled with the living things.” Lin Fan sniffed. He could smell it clearly.

Pit-a-pat!

Footsteps could be heard.

The surrounding light lit up the entire cavern.

Lin Fan could see many mysterious things around him. Some looked like cannons, while others looked like giants.

“Living thing, we surrender. You can’t kill us.” A tiny living leading the team said. He held a stick in his hand, and there was a white cloth that looked like underwear hanging on the stick.

However, the tiny living thing seemed to be very embarrassed. It held its pants in one hand and the stick in the other. The group of living things behind it were hugging each other tightly and shivering in fear.

“Such small things! What’s this?” Distracted by his surroundings, Lin Fan could barely see the tiny things. He took a step forward, trying to get a better look.

Plop!

Instantly, the tiny things dropped to the ground. “Don’t eat us. We surrender. Don’t eat us….”

“Hmm?”

Lin Fan looked at them, confused. The thing was only of the height of his arm, and they were fat. They had prominent ears, giant fingers and toes, short limbs, and huge noses. They also had a tuft of hair on their heads.

“Gnomes?”

Curiosity overtook Lin Fan. They look like the gnomes he saw in online games back on the earth.

“Spare us! We aren’t gnomes. We are just earth spirits that love peace, research, and development. We’ve never done anything bad.”

The leader shouted. He dropped onto the ground, trembling. It knew that Lin Fan came from above ground and would eat anything. It was afraid that Lin Fan would eat all of them.

Lin Fan walked up and grabbed one of the earth spirits. He held it up. “Earth spirits? What are those?”

He hadn’t read about them in the Magnificent Flame Sect’s records. This was obviously an unidentified species.

They seem to be smart, and they aren’t beasts. ~Interesting.~

Lin Fan shook his head and flashed a smile. “Be at ease. I’m a friendly person. What are you all doing here?”

~I need to know more about them. Who would have expected to find these guys under the Magnificent Flame Sect? This is surprising.~

“We are Earth spirits that have been living here our entire lives and for many generations. We isolated ourselves from the world, and we’ve never harmed another living thing.”

The earth spirits hugging together were shaking.

“What’s your name?” Lin Fan asked.

~They must be intelligent to know what surrendering means.~

“I’m called Didi.” (TL note: Sounds like “younger brother” in Chinese.”

Lin Fan laughed. ~Such a weird name. But the surrounding items look interesting.~ “What are those?”

As soon as Lin Fan mentioned the items, Didi no longer looked afraid. Instead, he looked excited and even proud. “We made those.”

“I see. So the mud giant was also made by you?” Lin Fan asked.

“Yes. We made it.” Didi said.

Lin Fan paused, thinking. ~This species is fascinating. They can make such things. But let me see what’s the limit of these guys’ manufacturing capability.~

He went to a machine.

“What’s this for?”

The machine was slightly weird. It had four iron legs.

“The No.1 four-leg we made. It can help to use the Yuan crystal’s energy efficiently. All we need to do is place the Yuan crystal here and press this button. It will exert a destructive force as a result.” Didi said. This was their hard work, the product of their intelligence.

The next minute, Didi saw the Lin Fan stuff a yuan crystal in the machine. “You can’t experiment with it here. This place will be destroyed.” He said, terrified.

Lin Fan raised his hands and tore space apart, forming a crack in the middle. He then pressed the button.

Suddenly!

The machine shook as the energy in the Yuan crystal was absorbed. The iron legs formed a mysterious formation, and energy could be felt congealing.

Boom!

Beams of lights shot into the spatial tear and disappeared.

“Interesting! Just with one Yuan crystal, it can exert the force of an Earth Star Border Stage Four cultivator.”

He said, shocked. This was even more powerful than the first god canon the sect made. ~These tiny guys are so smart! It would be great to bring them back to the sect to continue developing what they want.~

“Very well, come with me. I’ll bring you to somewhere else you can research and develop all you want.”

“Living thing, please spare us. We don’t want to leave this place. This is our home, and it’s too dangerous up there. This is the safest place we know.” Didi shouted. He was deathly afraid of the living thing.

“Hmm? Do you want to die?” Lin Fan frowned, growling.

Plop!

The earth spirits dropped to the ground. “Don’t eat us. Please. We are willing to do anything as long as you don’t eat us.”

Lin Fan took a deep breath. He felt that the earth spirits weren’t as smart as he thought they were. ~They seemed to be a little stupid.~

“Now, you belong to me. You must listen to me from today onwards, or you know what will happen.”

Instantly, the earth spirits trembled and sobbed.

“Boo hoo, we’ve been captured!”

“Please don’t eat us. We’re scared.”

He waved his hands and took everything here. The cavern was empty now.

Above ground.

Lu Qiming and the rest were guarding the shop, not allowing anyone to go in.

Crack!

“Junior brother Lu.” A voice could be heard.

Seeing the door open, Lu Qiming let out a smile. “Senior brother…..”

“I’ll return to the sect for a short period. Don’t allow anyone in. I’ll be back soon.” Lin Fan said.

“Yes.”

Inside the shop.

Lin fan took a look at the earth spirits and tore space apart, bringing them back to the sect.

The sect needed them to grow stronger.

At the same time, he understood that the earth spirits bullied the weak and feared the strong. They were easily scared when facing those stronger than them.

The sect. Tian Xu’s peak.

The space cracked open, and numerous figures could be seen.

“Master…” Lin Fan shouted. He was in a good mood. He didn’t expect to bring back so much back from his trip to the Lunar mountain city.

The Yuan crystal mine alone was a vast source of wealth.

“Disciple, what are those…..” Seeing the earth spirits, Tian Xu frowned. He hadn’t seen such things before.

~ There are such weird things in this world.~

Arriving at a new place, the earth spirits were filled with curiosity. They looked around the area surrounded by forests and whispered to one another.

“Are we going to live here in the future? I’m so happy!”

“Yes. Even though we’re slaves now, I’m happy to live in such a place.”

“So there’s such a beautiful place in the world. There’s even sunlight! Great!” Didi said.

They forgot that they were slaves or even what they said previously. They quickly had a change of heart.

“Disciple, do you mean your words?” Just then, Tian Xu looked up in shock.

Lin Fan nodded. “Yeah, I found a Yuan crystal mine in the Lunar Mountain city. We’d be rich if we mine the crystals. Master might want to let the sect start mining as soon as possible.”

“Great. This is wonderful news.” Tian Xu said happily. Yuan crystals were what the sect lacked the most, and his disciple had found another mine.

But upon hearing the mayor and Li An’s doings, Tian Xu was furious. He didn’t expect the disciple that was sent there would end up corrupted.
