Chapter 645: Chapter 645: Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose and Peeling Skin off Jiang?


    “Big Bro!”


    “Second Bro, Third Bro!”


    “Hahaha, we finally made it out!”


    Three burly men swathed in ck bandages embraced each other, sobbing uncontrobly.


    For a moment, they attracted quite a few sidelong nces from the people around.


    Despite how the onlookers viewed them, the trio continued to hold each other and cry.


    It was clear how much they had suffered.


    “Oh, Big Bro, our cousin is so cruel!”


    “Yeah, Big Bro, she trained me like crazy, I feel like my bones are falling apart!”


    “Our older cousin is better, she even cooks tasty meals for me.”<div>


    At this moment, Hu Da suddenly came to his senses and smacked the heads of his two brothers.


    “Shut up, have you forgotten that our cousin is also out?”


    At these words, the other two brothers were shocked.


    Right, their cousin had alsoe out!


    Did she hear them badmouthing her?


    “Oh no, Big Bro, we just talked bad about our cousin.”


    “We’re done for if she catches us!”


    Hu Da snorted coldly: “What’s there to fear, this is the secret realm, our cousin is outside.”


    “How do you know?”


    “Duh, she just said she wouldn’te in!”


    “Ah, so that’s how it is, Big Bro is so wise!”


    “Let’s go, we’ve been tortured for months, now it’s our turn to enjoy ourselves.”


    As Hu Da was speaking, he suddenly sniffed the air.


    “Odd, I smell that bastard, is he here too?”


    “Awesome! We can see our old friend, Big Bro, shall we go find him?”


    “Of course!”


    “Big Bro is so mighty!”n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    “Big Bro is so wise!”


    Just like that, the three brothers disappeared, leaving the crowd around awkward and confused about what just happened.<div>


    Meanwhile, in a dark corner of the canyon’s passageway, a wealthy little cousin pped her forehead in disbelief.


    “I can’t believe I used to be this stupid when I was young…”


    Gu Wanqing sighed, then narrowed her eyes.


    She could sense Jiang Xiaobai’s presence.<div>


    Their race’s most superior ability was being able to remember a person’s aura.


    This was why the three brothers could always manage to track down Jiang Xiaobai no matter where he went.


    “This kid just can’t sit still, his swordsmanship… probably will not do him much good here.”


    Gu Wanqing murmured, but didn’t give it much thought.


    Besides, with the vastness of the Three Thousand Worlds, encountering someone was a stroke of luck in itself. She didn’t need to force it if they didn’t meet.


    Her purpose this time was to protect those three goofballs in secret.


    Just after she thought about this, she saw a group of people appearing within the canyon’s passageway.


    “The people from de Shadow Sect are here, as expected…”


    …


    In the dense forest, Jiang Xiaobai and his squad were swiftly covering a lot of ground.


    Since they were near the entrance area, all the collectable items had been looted, so they did not find even a fart on their way.


    They did see many spirit herbs, but they were not valuable. Rather than wasting their time here, they might as well go further and search in some remote areas.


    “I’ve been to this secret realm before and there are plenty of resources of various kinds.”<div>


    Huo Shuyu spoke calmly as she eyed the dense forest ahead, “What we can see on the surface are just spirit herbs and essences, and even spirit stones and immortal stones can be found exposed on the ground in some areas.”


    “However, in general, immortal stone veins are usually found under the surface of the mine veins. It’s challenging to search, unless you’re naturally lucky, otherwise it’s almost impossible to find.”


    “The primary reason everyonees here is for the spirit herbs, essences, and materials from the fierce beasts.”


    “The fierce beasts here are very unique and do not exist in the outside world. They are plentiful and haven’t been wiped out over thousands of years. The value of their materials is also quite high.”


    Having said that, Huo Shuyu set a future goal for everyone.


    The group nned to search the area for about half a month.


    Because in less than a month’s time, the secret realm that requires crystal stones would be opened.


    This ce was only a stopover for now.


    After hearing Huo Shuyu’s words, Jiang Xiaobai became inexplicably excited.


    Mine veins?


    How familiar he was with this term!


    He had once made his fortune through mining!


    “Are you sure most of the mine veins haven’t been discovered?” Jiang Xiaobai asked Huo Shuyu excitedly.<div>


    “Of course, if it were so easy to find the veins of immortal stones, wouldn’t everyone be rich?”


    Huo Shuyu nced at Jiang Xiaobai, “You’re not seriously thinking about wasting your time looking for veins, are you? I advise you to give up. It seems like there’s a lot of veins in this ce.”


    “But in reality, it’s very difficult to find them.”


    The Great Goose Dynasty has held this secret realm for over a thousand years. To date, they have discovered only three veins of immortal stones.


    Moreover, the mining process is extremely difficult; it hasn’t been fully depleted even after a thousand years.


    However, this is also thergest source of resources for the Great Goose Dynasty.


    The enormity of the immortal stone veins in this secret realm can be seen from the fact that three veins have not beenpletely mined in over a thousand years!


    However, it also proves that it’s incredibly challenging to find veins in this ce.


    But Jiang Xiaobai is different! He possesses the “Meandering Veins Record”!


    With such a treasurebined with the help of his two great fathers, it isn’t particrly difficult to locate veins.


    Jiang Xiaobai didn’t say anything at that moment and Huo Shuyu didn’t ask further.


    Under Huo Shuyu’s guidance, the group approached a remote and dangerous area.


    There were many fierce beasts there, and the resources were more plentiful than other ces.<div>


    After all, the fierce beasts were terrifying, and those without considerable strength wouldn’t dare toe here.


    Even the Great Goose Dynasty wouldn’t dispatch people to this kind of ce to search for resources.


    As they continued to venture deeper, they found more and more resources.


    Spirit herbs, essences, fierce beasts, etc.


    But as they traveled, they found Jiang Xiaobai more and more perplexing.


    Because this guy was like a nagging miser, plucking every feather from a passing goose. Wherever he went, any resource that could be identified was gathered into his bag!


    Even when encountering fierce beasts, he wouldn’t let them off. He would kill them and collect all the useful materials from their bodies.


    At this point, even Huo Shuyu was speechless.


    Were you really that poor?


    So poor that you had to take everything in sight?


    What was even more shocking was that Jiang Xiaobai did not miss any spirit grass, no matter how ordinary!


    Even Jian Shisan along with his sister, who had been under constant pursuit andcked sufficient resources, were left feeling inferior by Jiang Xiaobai.


    They were joking, they had never seen someone so desperate before!


    If you looked down from above, you could see that the path Jiang Xiaobai and his group had taken was truly clean with nothing left!


    Finally, Huo Shuyu couldn’t stand it anymore.


    “Jiang Bai, what on earth are you doing?”


    “Everyone’s storage ring has a limited space. If you keep stuffing it with all these useless things and we find some real treasureter, don’t even think of using our storage space when you run out of yours!”


    Jiang Xiaobai, acting as if he didn’t hear her, casually pocketed a small spirit herb from the ground.


    Huo Shuyu felt increasingly frustrated.


    Is this man really that greedy?
