Li Feng opened the attribute panel and glanced at it: “I should be able to recover to ten million units of Origin Power by tomorrow.”
Before coming to the King’s Ruins World, the dungeons he had loaded in the Forbidden Zone could only provide him with a little over two million units of Origin Power in total.
But now, he had gained one million units of Origin Power after grinding in the King’s Ruins World for just an hour. The gains were much greater than before, and most importantly, he was far from reaching the dungeon reset limit.
He estimated that one King’s Ruins World could bring him 45 million units of Origin Power.
“I hope I can make it in time!”
A cold glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. He needed to restore his strength to its original realm, or even further, before Borodin entered the God Realm, in order to kill him.
Otherwise, he could only continue to hide.
But now that he had clashed with the Hogg Clan, he was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed.
After all, this was a world ruled by Borodin alone. Any disturbance couldn’t escape his eyes. If discovered, he could only run away or rely on Gaibo’s power to resist.
However, thinking of the last time he summoned Gaibo, which directly drained his Origin Power, the uncomfortable feeling was still fresh in his memory. He was very reluctant to let that happen again.
Unknowingly, Li Feng had already gone deep into the mine. Along the way, he encountered fewer and fewer people.
By now, there was basically no one around.
Hum!
Li Feng released his powerful Divine Sense to probe his surroundings. The Origin-Restricting Ring on his hand suddenly lit up, and runes rose, trying to suppress Li Feng.
The Eternal Sword Soul flew out, with circles of runes wrapped around it. A terrifying suppressive force descended, and the rising runes instantly shattered, their light dimming.
Li Feng didn’t care and didn’t destroy the Origin-Restricting Ring. This little thing had no effect on him.
His Divine Sense swept out, and countless sparks sputtered in the void.
This surprised him a little. There was a special force field in the Divine Mine that could block his Divine Sense’s detection, but it was not difficult for him.
His Divine Sense was too powerful. It directly broke through the force field and penetrated the thick rock walls, allowing him to see the Divine Crystals buried inside.
He picked up the pickaxe and easily dug out a fist-sized white crystal from the wall.
“Is this a Divine Crystal?”
Li Feng saw this kind of energy stone for the first time and carefully examined it with his Divine Sense.
He found that 90% of these white crystals were pure energy that could be absorbed, and 10% was dark matter energy, used to collect Origin Power.
He tried to absorb the pure energy in the Divine Crystal and found that his Origin Power increased slightly. But for him, the speed was too slow. It was not as fast as grinding monsters in a dungeon.
This result left Li Feng uninterested.
Soon, he dug out a hundred catties of Divine Crystals and put them in the bamboo basket.
In order to avoid affecting his dungeon grinding in the next few days, he dug another five hundred catties of Divine Crystals and put them into his sea of consciousness to cope with the workload of these days.
Then, he found a hidden corner and began to focus on improving his strength.
…
…
Time passed, and soon night fell.
Some miners were already feeling hungry. The Origin-Restricting Ring not only restricted their strength but also made them like mortals, needing to eat every day to maintain their lives.
Therefore, Steward Cui and others were not worried that some miners would deliberately hide in the mine and refuse to come out.
Before long, miners came out of the Divine Mine one by one. Those who completed the task got a bowl of white porridge and a hard bun.
Those who failed to complete the task had their food halved and were whipped.
Some old people who failed to complete the task were whipped with a three-inch thick whip, screaming in agony, lying dying on the cold ground.
“Alright, Ye Luo, don’t push too hard. We still need these peasants to mine!” Steward Cui said.
It wasn’t out of kindness. In his opinion, these peasants were living resources and could not be allowed to die so easily.
“Yes!” A burly man replied, reluctantly stopping. He muttered, “These peasants won’t work hard unless they are severely punished.”
If Li Feng were here, he would definitely recognize this burly man as the person who kicked him during the day.
“Hmm, why hasn’t the miner sent by Young Master Xiding come out yet?” Steward Cui looked at the mine in confusion.
“Steward Cui, your order was to dig a hundred catties of Divine Crystals. How could that peasant possibly complete the task? He must be working hard now. When he’s too hungry to bear it, he’ll naturally come out,” Ye Luo said with a smile.
Steward Cui nodded, thinking that was true. Some people couldn’t even complete the task of twenty catties, let alone a hundred. He shook his head and said, “When he comes out, give him ten lashes. Don’t reduce his food. I don’t want him to die so quickly.”
Because before Xiding Hogg left, he had said that he hoped Li Feng could live until he came next time.
“Understood,” Ye Luo said with a cruel smile. Li Feng was no different from these miners now. They were all a group of peasants whose strength was restricted. Thinking that he was actually frightened by Li Feng during the day, his anger surged.
He couldn’t wait to teach Li Feng a lesson.
Fewer and fewer people came out of the Divine Mine entrance.
In the end, Li Feng carried a hundred catties of Divine Crystals and walked out slowly without any panic.
“A hundred catties of Divine Crystals,” Li Feng said to the person registering, pouring them all out under the latter’s dumbfounded gaze.
“Wow, who is this guy? He’s so fierce. He can dig a hundred catties of Divine Crystals in one day. He’s practically a god!”
Many miners looked at Li Feng in shock, their eyes flashing with surprise and greed.
One person could dig twenty catties a day at most, which was already the limit. But Li Feng far exceeded this amount, making many people have ideas.
In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face stared coldly at Li Feng and ordered, “Keep an eye on this kid. I want to see him in the mine tomorrow.”
“You… you actually completed the task!” Ye Luo came to Li Feng and said in surprise.
Li Feng glanced at him calmly, didn’t speak, and walked towards the place where food was served.
This peasant dared to ignore him again, which made Ye Luo even angrier. “Stop right there!”
Li Feng stopped, turned to look at him, and said calmly, “What’s the matter?”
His attitude made Ye Luo even angrier. Without thinking, he whipped Li Feng’s shoulder.
Crack!
Li Feng deliberately suppressed his strength and didn’t dodge. A b*oody mark appeared on his shoulder, and blood splattered.
◈◈◈
His eyes were cold, but he soon calmed down. In his heart, this person was already sentenced to death.
“I don’t like you. I’ll give you a whip. Starting tomorrow, you have to dig two hundred catties of Divine Crystals,” Ye Luo said with a cold smile.
In the distance, Steward Cui saw this scene.
He was a little surprised that Li Feng could complete the task, but this did not meet Young Master Xiding Hogg’s expectations. Ye Luo’s actions were just right to give Li Feng some torment, so he didn’t interfere.
In short, as long as Li Feng suffered, that would be best.
…
…
“Get lost. I don’t want to see you. You’d better complete the task tomorrow. Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble.” After giving him a whip, a playful smile appeared on Ye Luo’s face.
Actually, he really hoped that Li Feng would resist so that he could whip him a few more times.
But to his disappointment, Li Feng ignored him and continued to walk towards the place where food was served.
“What a pity,” Ye Luo smacked his lips, then sneered, “But he’s just a coward. I’ll see how I deal with him in the next few days.”
He hated Li Feng’s calm eyes and decided to make Li Feng fear him in a few days, satisfying his perverted psychology.
After Li Feng finished eating, he found a place to doze off.
He had already made up his mind to break free from the Origin-Restricting Ring tomorrow and not leave the mining area until he had enough strength.
Around him, some miners approached him intentionally or unintentionally. Finally, they found a place to rest not far from Li Feng.
“I hope you don’t provoke me,” Li Feng opened his eyes and muttered to himself.
A person’s patience is limited. If he was really pushed to the limit, he would directly start a massacre.
But to his surprise, the night was very calm, and nothing happened.
…
…
The next day!
Li Feng got up early and walked towards the mine.
But he found that many people also ‘woke up’ behind him and followed him.
In the distance, Ye Luo saw this scene and found Black Scar. As one of the supervisors here, he naturally knew that there were many fights in the mining area.
And Black Scar was one of the big bosses who had made a name for himself.
“You can trouble him, but don’t kill him, understand?” Ye Luo warned.
Li Feng was brought by Xiding Hogg. Even Steward Cui didn’t want him to have an accident at this time. He naturally wouldn’t let Li Feng die, but it was no problem for him to suffer a little.
“I know what to do,” Black Scar said obsequiously. Although he had some power in the mining area, compared to Ye Luo, he was nothing.
No matter how powerful he was, he was just a miner. The two were not on the same level at all.
Ye Luo nodded with satisfaction. This was an obedient dog, unlike Li Feng, who dared to ignore him. He was simply courting death.
…
…
In the Divine Mine!
Li Feng didn’t hesitate and went straight to the depths of the mine. Along the way, he threw away the bamboo basket and the pickaxe. During this time, he planned to live in the depths of the mine.
Behind him, more than a dozen people followed him.
“It’s Black Scar’s men. Don’t follow him. He’s been targeted by Black Scar. He won’t have a good end,” some miners whispered.
Li Feng also heard these words and knew that Black Scar had a lot of power in the mine, but he didn’t take it to heart.
But some miners showed fear on their faces and stopped. In the end, only four people kept following Li Feng.
These four were all strong young men. Under the circumstances of being restricted in strength, they obviously possessed extremely strong combat power.
When he reached the depths, Li Feng saw that they were still following him. He stopped, turned around, and said, “Gentlemen, how long do you want to follow me? You know, this mine is very dangerous. Sometimes people die.”
“Pfft, what are you talking about? This Divine Mine is not yours. We can go wherever we want,” a young man said, a look of disdain flashing across his face.
“That’s right, we can go wherever we want. What’s it to you?” The other three also spoke.
Li Feng didn’t waste any more words with them and said directly, “If you dare to follow me again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
These words immediately angered the four.
“Who do you think you are? You dare to threaten us!”
One of the young men rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Li Feng, sneering, “Let me tell you frankly, hand over your mining method and dig a hundred catties of Divine Crystals for us every day. Otherwise, don’t think about having a good life in the future.”
At the same time, the remaining three surrounded Li Feng in a fan shape.
Li Feng’s performance yesterday was too eye-catching. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to dig a hundred catties of Divine Crystals in one day. Therefore, Black Scar concluded that Li Feng had some special method or found a large number of Divine Crystals in a certain place.
Therefore, from last night, he had people target Li Feng, wanting to find out his secret.
“It seems that you are really looking for death,” Li Feng sighed. These miners were already pitiful. He originally didn’t want to take action, but he didn’t expect them to be so suicidal.
In that case… he wouldn’t be polite.
Crack, a slight breaking sound rang out. The young men didn’t notice that the Origin-Restricting Ring on Li Feng’s hand had broken.
“You’re the one looking for…” A sallow-faced young man directly cursed, raising his arm and swinging it towards Li Feng.
Li Feng’s expression was calm, and he also punched.
With a bang, the young man directly turned into a cloud of blood mist.
“Im… impossible, could it be that your strength wasn’t restricted?” The other three young men’s faces instantly turned pale, and they said in horror.
One person’s eyes were sharp, and he saw that Li Feng did not have an Origin-Restricting Ring on his hand. He said in shock, “You broke free from the Origin-Restricting Ring.”
“You guessed right. As a reward, I’ll send you to h*ll,” Li Feng said calmly, and then his large palm shrouded the several people.
“No…”
Screams sounded, and the remaining three young men instantly turned into powder, dissipating in the air.
Only the sound echoed in the mine, making the miners who did not follow shudder.
Li Feng did not stay here but continued to advance towards the depths, finally arriving at a rock wall.
He did not hesitate and directly used his fists to break open the rock wall and continue deeper.
He made twists and turns, leaving behind crisscrossing paths. Along the way, Divine Crystals kept falling from the rock walls, and he collected them all, not wanting to help the enemy.
In fact, if the miners’ strength was not restricted, they could dig faster. However, once cultivation reached a certain level, one could open up a space in their body. In order to prevent miners from secretly collecting Divine Crystals, their strength was restricted.
Finally, Li Feng went hundreds of miles deep into the mine before stopping.
