Chapter 1715 The Sealed Ancient People Of The East Maind
"What are you doing here, old man?" Austin asked. He was curious on seeing an old acquaintance
after such a long time.
He didn''t expect that he''d run into the Earth Hermit in the Northern Mine District. It was like meeting the
most unexpected person in the most unexpected ce.
"I came to know that something happened in here. And may happen again!
So here I am.
Many things have been buried here for long. I''d like to see what those are," the Earth Hermit replied as
he smiled at Austin.
The Earth Hermit had disguised himself as a middle-aged man with tanned skin. The smile on his face
was harmless and sincere.
"Why did you infiltrate the miners? You are so powerful. I don''t think you need to bother about anything
anymore. You can explore this area directly," Austin blurted out.
He had doubts as to why the Earth Hermit was in a disguise.
"The reason is quite simple.
These newly recruited mine workers will be sent to dig in that area where the flying demonic monkey
was spotted.
And I believe that as we speak, the elders from the holynds and prominent ns are investigating
that area.
If I break into that ce in my true state, I will be spotted by them.
But if I pretend to be a miner, I can get into that area without exposing my identity,"
the Earth Hermit exined it all to Austin.
"I see!" Austin replied with a nod.
The Earth Hermit was right about it.
On the other hand, Elder Jordan from the Rudimentary Holy Land rounded up over seven thousand
miners. With a wave of his sleeve, he got them into the warship. The ship flew towards the area where
the perilous mines were located.
A few minutester the warshipnded in a dested area.
Mines could be seen here and there in that area.
The location had be important as the flying demonic monkey hade back to life in this ce.
People thronged from various ces after hearing about the return of the flying demonic monkey.
Many ships, warships, chariots and monstrous beasts which were used to pull the chariots floated
above the mines.
Austin sensed the waves spread in all directions. There was a terrifying amount of vital energy present
all around.
It was evident that many strong cultivators had gathered there.
He also spotted lots of mine workers there. Some were going in while others were walking out of those
countless mines.
"It looks like apart from the Rudimentary Holy Land, the top forces have also sent their miners to dig
here,"
the Earth Hermit said to Austin through his spiritual sense.
Austin nodded agreeing to his statement. ''There are at least tens of thousands of miners working here,
'' Austin thought to himself.
And soon more than seven thousand miners followed Elder Jordan out of the warship. The team
reached an area which was vacant, and there was no one from other sects around.
"All right! You''re going to work here,"
Elder Jordan said to the miners, showing them the ce where they were supposed to work.
A few stewards and a bunch of principal disciples of the Rudimentary Holy Land joined in. They started
to divide those workers into groups and showed them spots where they had to dig.
Luckily, Austin and the Earth Hermit were put in one group.
The two of them followed the other miners to the mine and started working. They didn''t want to invite
anyone''s attention so they quietly joined the miners.
A day passed off in this manner.
Austin and the Earth Hermit were about a thousand meters deep in the ground.
All of a sudden, a mine worker who was in front of the group let out a scream.
"I think there are crystals ahead of us!"
he gushed in excitement.
An experienced, old miner reached that man and looked in the distance, in the direction he was
pointing at.
"He is right. I can feel dense spiritual energy. Come on, guys! I''m sure there are crystals ahead of us.
Perhaps we will find a crystal vessel," he said excitedly as he turned to look at other miners.
The other mine workers cheered up instantly. Suddenly they were filled with a new energy and started
digging at a faster speed.
A few moments passed and the miners were filled with a new zeal to find out whaty ahead.
Just then, the wall in front of them which was made of mud copsed.
Bright lights ahead of them illuminated the channel.
"Look, it looks like there is a lobby over there,"
the Earth Hermit shouted as he dashed forward.
The other miners including Austin followed him after hesitating for a while. They were equally keen to
see what the Earth Hermit was talking about.
It took them a few minutes to reach a spacious hall.
"Oh Jesus! There are so many special ruling crystals here!"
all the miners eximed in surprise as soon as they stepped into the lobby.
The underground hall upied an area of a few thousand square meters.
They were dumbfounded by what they saw. The room was full of huge special ruling crystals.
"There are many ruling crystals with strange creatures in them. Oh my god! This is another perilous
mine.
Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Run!"
one of the miners bellowed to the rest of the men.
He was startled to notice that there were weird creatures sealed in those ruling crystals.
His words rattled the other mine workers. Some of them were so scared that their legs turned limp
before they sat on the ground. Their face nched due to sheer fright. In a few minutes, they
recovered from their shock. Quickly they turned around and started to run away. Those who were still
sitting on the ground got up hurriedly and made their escape. In a matter of moments, there was no
one but Austin and Earth Hermit left in the hall.
"What are we going to do, old man?"
Austin asked as he stared at the Earth Hermit.
The Earth Hermit walked up to those ruling crystals which had those strange things sealed within. He
had a closer look at them.
"What''s going on?
These things that were sealed in these ruling crystals are our kind. They were humans too,"
the Earth Hermit said with untold shock written all over his face.
Austin was more shocked than the Earth Hermit. He dashed towards thetter.
The scene that unfolded shocked him to the core. There were human cultivators in several ruling
crystals whichy before his eyes.
On observing keenly, he saw that they were elders who were wearing ancient regalia.
"I got it! This old man is wearing the clothes that the people of the Arcane Holy Land wore in ancient
times. Look, there are three purple dots on his cor. The purple dots is the symbol of the Arcane Holy
Land.
Looks like this this guy was from the Arcane Holy Land and belonged to ancient times,"
the Earth Hermit said, looking startled.
His words left Austin surprised.
''I can''t believe that a member of the Arcane Holy Land who lived in ancient times was sealed in this
ruling crystal, '' Austin thought, as he gaped at the elder ced in the crystal.
"I thought that the old man was from your me Holy Land. Look, there is a golden sun on his sleeve,"
the Earth Hermit said, as he pointed at an elder in another ruling crystal.
"Really?"
Austin screamed in astonishment.
"Yeah. Many top masters from top sects in the ancient period were sealed here.
They are not evil things.
Still, I think we should get out of here.
The powerful cultivators from the top sects will be here in a second," the Earth Hermit said.
He turned around in a bid to leave the hall.
"Wait! There are so many special ruling crystals here. We can''t leave from here empty handed,"
Austin said as his eyes were fixed on those ruling crystals.
"I didn''t know that you are such a greedy brat. You''re just like me when I was your age," Earth Hermit
responded with a grin.
He waved his hand, and all the special ruling crystals without human cultivators in them got sucked into
his sleeve.
"Let''s go! I will give half of these crystals to you, brat," he added.
The next second, he was nowhere to be seen in the hall.
Austin dashed towards the entrance of the mine by using his bodily movement skill.
After some time, he caught up with those miners who had run away from the hall.
Frightened, all the mine workers cried like a baby, out of fear. They quickly got out of the mine.
The chaos created by their running and shouting around the mine caught the attention from all the
people nearby.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several figures showed up above the mine. They released enormous vital energy.
Floating mid-air, a reclusive elder from the Rudimentary Holy Land formed a palm with his vital energy.
He directed it at the dozen miners who had escaped out of that mine.
The vital energy palm made the mine workers rush up to him in a sh.
