Chapter 573: Little Black Rat Who Shared the Same Fate

The Tailless Burrowing Rats were originally quite timid. When they saw the purple lightning striking down, they did not even bother to figure out what was going on. They thought that it was the heavenly lightning that had descended from the sky, and immediately fled in all directions. Not long after, they disappeared without a trace.

“Junior Sister Little Jiu, why are you helping that black rat?” Feng Ming asked in confusion. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble in the ancient mine. Although the Tailless Burrowing Rats were relatively weak, there were hundreds of them in this group. Offending them would not be a wise move.

Yun Chujiu snorted coldly. “HMPH! Why are those Tailless Burrowing Rats chasing after this little black mouse? It’s because its fur color is black and is different from theirs! I can’t stand this kind of discrimination against the color of others’ skin. So what if it’s black? I think black is low-key luxurious and classy!”

After Yun Chujiu finished speaking, she slowly climbed down the mountain. Feng Ming saw the dumbfounded faces of Geng Yi and Shi Xuan. Feng Ming winked at the two of them, and said in a low voice, “When Junior Sister Little Jiu first came to Spirit Radiance Sect, she was really dark too. I guess she felt pity for this little black rat because she thought it was like her.”

Only then did it click for Geng Yi and Shi Xuan. They followed Feng Ming and climbed down the mountain.

Seeing the four of them climb down, the black Tailless Burrowing Rat turned around and ran far away.

“This little heartless thing. If I’ve helped you, can you at least bow to me before leaving?!” Yun Chujiu muttered and then went to her sleeping spot. Yes, she fell asleep.

Feng Ming and the other two looked at each other. How could she fall asleep just like that? Junior Sister Jiu was really ambitious. Was she not afraid that the rats would come back for revenge?

Reality proved that the three of them were thinking too much. Those burrowing rats were almost scared to death. How could they dare to come back for revenge. Moreover, they were only Tier Three demonic beasts. Their intelligence was very low and they had not learned how to distinguish certain things. They would never have thought that humans could actually use purple heavenly lightning.

The next morning, the four of them had a simple breakfast and discussed their next step.

After some discussion, the four of them decided to head south since it looked like a mountain range, which meant there would be a lot of mines.

After walking for about half a day, they saw a few people digging in the distance.

Those people also noticed Yun Chujiu and the others. One of the women waved at Feng Ming and the others, “Senior Brother Feng Ming, this is the red gold mine. Come over quickly!”

The four people looked over and saw that the person who spoke was Wu Yanyu. Beside her were Zhuo Piaoyu, Ding Lang, and three other male disciples from the West Peak. “Senior brothers, don’t bring my matters up to avoid any complications,” Yun Chujiu said to the three people in a low voice.

Feng Ming and the other two nodded. They all understood. After all, the Heavenly Thunder Root Spirit was truly unbelievable. It was always better to keep it a low profile.

“Senior Brother Feng Ming, are you guys coming from the north? Are there any valuable ores over there?” Although Wu Yanyu was speaking to Feng Ming, her eyes glanced at Shi Xuan who was at his side.

Shi Xuan felt goosebumps all over as she looked at him. He hurriedly turned to face the side.

“There were only worthless iron ore concentrates over there. You guys are quite lucky,” Feng Ming said with a smile.

Wu Yanyu saw that Zhuo Piaoyu kept winking at her and said with a smile, “Senior Brother Feng Ming, we’re all disciples of the same sect. There’s no such thing as you and me. Anyway, it’s such a big mine. You guys can mine here with us.”

Feng Ming nodded. “Thank you very much. Junior Sister Little Jiu, let’s pick a spot and start digging.”

“Wait! Senior Brother Feng Ming, the three of you can stay, but Yun Chujiu can forget about it! Her spiritual power is so low. If she encounters an attack by demonic beasts, we have to send someone to protect her. Since she has the guts to come to the trial, then she should go find the mineral vein by herself.”
