After landing, facing the crowd, Ling Feng said to them: "Everyone has collected quite a few of these stones, we can go back and report."

"Thank you, hero!"

"Thank you so much for helping us, hero!"

"Hero, would you like to come back with us, we want to properly thank you!"

The people asked in a flurry of voices, looking very excited.

"I have other things to do, you all go back first!" Ling Feng said with a smile.

The crowd invited him a few more times, but seeing that he still refused, they had to give up.

Watching the people pack up and prepare to leave, Ling Feng asked the Lord of the Blue Sea in his heart: "Did you see the stones just now?"

"I saw them, I’ve never seen these stones before, not sure what they are for." The Lord of the Blue Sea said.

Ling Feng felt a bit helpless after hearing this, so he shook his head: "Well, there are many of these stones in this pit, and I only had those people take a portion back, but there’s more in the surrounding mountain walls and deep underground, I’ll come back and take them later."

"If you think they are valuable, it’s best to take them now, otherwise when they report back, more people may come to excavate!" Lord of the Blue Sea said.

"That’s true."

Ling Feng nodded, not knowing how long he would stay at the Sword Tomb, if charging took too much time, this place might really be filled by countless people, all coming to look for those stones.

Thinking about it, Ling Feng watched those who were collecting the stones leave, and once they were far away, he immediately summoned Little Hei.

Then he summoned Little Fei to control the insects to help collect the stones, so Ling Feng wouldn’t need to do it himself.

Just like that, Little Hei returned to the pit for an excavation that felt earth-shattering, and countless beetles flew over from all directions, swarming into the pit.

Ling Feng sat leisurely on the ground above, waiting.

Seeing him like this, Amaterasu couldn’t help but laugh: "Didn’t realize you were lazy!"

"I’ve always been like this, if I can avoid doing things myself, I will!" Ling Feng said with a smile.

"If you were to pick them up yourself, your efficiency probably wouldn’t be as high as these insects, indeed a smart tactic!" Amaterasu nodded and said.

While they were talking, the pit was already bustling with activity, and a large quantity of those transparent stones were being dug up, numbering several thousand.

Although it’s still unclear what these things are for, the fact that others need them proves they are valuable, and Ling Feng always has a greedy eye for such things.

Soon, a large pile of stones had gathered in the center of the pit, and Ling Feng returned below to collect them all into his Space Ring. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Seeing there were still some that hadn’t been collected, Ling Feng stayed at the bottom of the pit, waiting for the insects to gather the remaining ones.

Just then, he heard a huge sound from above, a booming noise, as if an earthquake had occurred!

Ling Feng was startled and immediately extended his Divine Sense, discovering a plume of smoke and dust not far away, with riders charging towards him!

Startled a moment, Ling Feng immediately commanded Ghost Dragon to fly up!

Once he returned to the ground, the riders had approached.

The opponents were all samurai in black armor, mounted on creatures he had never seen before, with fierce faces and bloodthirsty mouths full of fangs!

"These are Guardians, soldiers from the Blue Sea Continent, seems like your use of Ghost Dragon drew them in!" Lord of the Blue Sea said.

"So powerful? They found me after flying for only a few minutes, do they have radar?"

Ling Feng was somewhat speechless, watching them charge forward, and stop about a hundred meters away, where he loudly asked: "Who are you?"

A knight urged his mount forward, approached slowly, and after stopping about thirty meters away, he loudly said: "This land belongs to the Blue Sea Continent, who are you, why have you trespassed, and why have you plundered our Tiger Crystal Stones!"

So the transparent stones are called Tiger Crystal Stones!

Ling Feng, hearing this, smiled and said: "What do you mean plundered, I was just passing by, saw these things looked nice, and took some, is it necessary to make such a fuss?"

"Enough chitchat, hand over the Tiger Crystal Stones you’ve taken immediately, or we won’t be polite!"

The opponent drew a strange weapon from his waist and shouted.

"Sorry, once it’s in my pocket, it never comes out again, I can’t meet your request!" Ling Feng shouted loudly.

"Then you’re asking for trouble!"

The opponent wasn’t one to waste words either, he raised his weapon and waved it downward, causing the knights behind him to immediately urge their mounts to charge over!

The rumbling and immense pressure was intimidating, but Ling Feng was unperturbed, only giving Ghost Dragon a command: "Drive them away!"

"Awooo!"

Ghost Dragon’s massive body soared and flew directly towards them!

Under its immense pressure, the mounts immediately turned and fled, no matter how the knights whipped them, they refused to turn back!

The momentum hadn’t even been established before it turned to a rout, leaving the knights and their leader furious as their morale plummeted!

Meanwhile, Little Hei and Little Fei had finished collecting the Tiger Crystal Stones and emerged from the pit.

Now with two more giant beasts, the opponents fell silent, stopping a few hundred meters away, glancing at each other.

Seeing their lack of response, Ling Feng chuckled and let Ghost Dragon return, then leapt onto its back: "I’m too lazy to waste time with you all, goodbye!"

With a wave of his hand, Little Hei and Little Fei disappeared, Ghost Dragon soared up, and in no time flew nearly a kilometer away.

Unable to track him on the ground, the knights’ leader turned and shouted: "Retreat immediately, inform the city guardian for decisions!"

Rumbling, the knights turned directions and left the scene.

Ling Feng decided to stick with it, since he’d been discovered, he might as well use Ghost Dragon to fly to the Sword Tomb, no need to waste time.

The flight was naturally much faster than walking, taking only a few hours before Ling Feng saw a towering peak in the distance.

The peak was entirely pitch black, suddenly appearing in the wasteland, very striking.

At this time, the Lord of the Blue Sea said to Ling Feng: "That’s the Sword Tomb!"

"Good!"

Ling Feng nodded, instructing Ghost Dragon to accelerate.

As the distance closed, Ling Feng’s Divine Sense could see the full view of the Sword Tomb, making his mouth and eyes immediately round.

Though it looked like a mountain from afar, once seen up close, he found the peak wasn’t made of rock, but countless rusted Treasured Swords!

Various Longswords and Shortswords piled together, the quantity unknown.
