Chapter 2535 - 2535 Mysterious Mining Area in the North
2535 Mysterious Mining Area in the North
In the camp.
Han Fei put on a simple mask and walked over from the outer sea. Under everyone’s gaze, he entered the tavern.
Wearing a mask was just to keep him mysterious. In fact, Han Fei didn’t use his real appearance when he appeared in the camp on the outskirts. Instead, he used a face that was hatefully arrogant. It wasn’t Zhang Xuanyu’s face, but Chun Huangdian’s.
At this moment, Han Fei walked to the counter, and Old Chen had already prepared a gla.s.s of blue and purple mixed liquor.
!!
Without further ado, Han Fei slapped four refined stars on the counter as if they were four gla.s.s beads. “Look, I’ve got the refined stars. It hasn’t been more than a day, has it?”
Old Chen: “…”
Old Chen was speechless. A day? This guy ended the battle in less than an hour. He didn’t know what happened next.
Old Chen sighed, but tacitly didn’t mention the Black Wind Pirates. Instead, he regretted agreeing to give Han Fei the basic information of all the pirates in the periphery.
Although it was just basic information, it almost exposed all the pirates on the periphery to Han Fei. This person could destroy Black Wind Pirates, so could he destroy other pirate groups.
However, he had already agreed to it. There was no going back now.
Old Chen first handed over a jade slip and said, “This is a map of the periphery and inside the Infinite Mining Area. The periphery map only showed the east side. As for the other three sides, one is blocked by the G.o.dfiend Sea, and the other two are unexplored Infinite Mining Areas and no one was allowed in, so those two sides are meaningless. Only the east side is an explored area, so the outer sea here gathers almost all the camps and native tribes of the Infinite Mining Area.”
Han Fei took the jade slip and scanned it with his perception. Even though he was experienced, he couldn’t help but gasp. It was really big!
The entire east side probably spanned nearly a light-year. The map given by the old man only covered the area about 0.2 light-years long in the entire east except for the Infinite Mining Area.
Further away, only primitive tribes were marked.
Yes, tribes. There were indeed many races in the Infinite Ocean. These races were not collectivized, and some were even tribal. Their combat power was valiant, a bit like the style in the Western Desert.
On this map, there were probably thousands of tribes of various sizes.
Han Fei looked at the map of the inside of the Infinite Mining Area and saw many irregular areas covered by mountains. The places occupied by the real powers were very small. It was like a chaotic map with a few small safe areas. At the center of the map was the Hundred Alliance City.
As for the other major factions, they each occupied an area. According to their rankings, there would be a name marked and a simple explanation.
All in all, this sea chart was very worth it.
At this time, Old Chen said, “Fellow Daoist, I want to remind you of two things. Firstly, don’t disturb those ancient tribes. They are extremely united. If you beat one of them, a thousand tribal leaders may come to you. Are you afraid? Of course, some of these tribal strong masters have joined various forces. If they die in battle, no one will care.”
Han Fei asked, “What about the last one?”
Old Chen hesitated for a moment and took out another jade slip. “This is basic information on all the pirates outside the Infinite Mining Area. However, my suggestion is not to kill them all. The existence of pirates also has a significance. Only with pirates can the camps in the outer sea gather, can there be a large number of resources to trade, and can there be the advantage of the circulation of resources inside and outside the Infinite Mining Area. Although pirates will intercept and kill strong masters, their purpose of cultivation is the same as ordinary cultivators. Besides, in fact, the pirates outside the Infinite Mining Area often travel inside and outside and have many connections with some large factions. Help them do some things that are inconvenient for them to do. If they are killed, you will become enemies with many factions in the Infinite Mining Area.”
Han Fei smiled casually. “I’m not a bloodthirsty person. Let me take a look at this jade slip first.”
After a while, the corners of Han Fei’s mouth twitched. He didn’t expect there to be more than 2,000 pirate groups in the outer sea. Of course, most of them were small pirate groups. These people often mingled in the eight camps near the Infinite Mining Area.
There were no more than two hundred pirate groups as powerful as the Black Wind Pirates.
However, two hundred was still a lot! If these pirates joined forces, they would be a rather powerful superpower.
Han Fei curled his lips. He had wanted to collect information on these pirates to get resources from them. After all, his current demand for resources was particularly high.
However, if these pirates surrounded the eight camps, it would be quite difficult to attack them. But the Black Wind Pirates were different, who were wandering in remote places, so it would be no problem for him to intercept and kill them.
Han Fei shook his head slightly. His hunting target should be set in more remote areas. His people needed a lot of whetstones, but it was hard to catch anyone nearby the camps.
Although capturing pirates and forcing them to be his men’s sparring partners was a way, the effect of sparring was not as good as real killing. Besides, should he really kill all the pirates he captured? Pirates existed for survival and cultivation. In the end, they would mostly submit to him, and then there would be another group of people for him to nurture.
For now, Han Fei felt that these people were already his limit. Besides, he didn’t want to nurture people of other races.
As the saying went, quality was more important than quant.i.ty. If there were too many people, it would be bad if they were not nurtured well.
At this time, Han Fei saw Old Chen push out a pile of jade slips. He said, “All the information about the G.o.dfiend Sea in our camp is here.”
Han Fei’s eyes lit up. He immediately forgot about the pirates and quickly browsed through the information about the G.o.dfiend Sea.
Han Fei grabbed a random copy. It was a record of the missing people suspected to have entered the G.o.dfiend Sea from the Infinite Mining Area.
After all, the Infinite Mining Area was right next to the G.o.dfiend Sea, and one side of it was completely blocked by the G.o.dfiend Sea. There might also be some mining areas in the G.o.dfiend Sea where some people accidentally entered.
Most of these people disappeared in the north. According to investigation, north of the Infinite Mining Area was a place that no one was willing to go because it was too close to the G.o.dfiend Sea.
Furthermore, the closer they were to the north, the stronger the mine demons became. There was once a force that was squeezed and forced to go to the north of the mining area. However, on that day, astronomical phenomena appeared frequently, which was the phenomenon of countless people dying.
Anyway, none of those people returned.
Also, the Hundred Alliance City had sent a joint army to the north more than once. However, before they approached the G.o.dfiend Sea, they had encountered countless mine demons. After a wave of battle, they had lost one third of their joint army.
Later, the official saying was that no one cleared the north all year round and the mine demons went rampant there, so it was not appropriate to attack by force.
Northern expeditions like this had happened more than once. According to the records, it had happened eight times.
In fact, not only the north, but the unexplored places were also like this. The most common description was that the mine demons went rampant. In short, they were not easy to deal with.
Besides, conquering an area was not as simple as conquering it. There would be an invasion of mine demons. You had to defend the place you conquered. If you couldn’t even defend it, your conquest would be in vain.
This was why the major powers controlled so many mining areas. It was because they were strong and had many people to conquer and defend the mining areas.
Han Fei thought to himself, Isn’t this a natural training ground? No wonder countless Sea Establishers are thrown here every year. According to the degree and frequency of the battles here, it seems to be quite easy to produce Sky Openers here.
Of course, that was on the premise that those Sea Establishers could survive.
Han Fei continued to flip through the information about the strength of the black chains. It had been proven many times that those who had reached the perfected Star Transformation Realm could barely withstand the black chains extending out of the G.o.dfiend Sea.
If anyone below the Perfected Star Transformation Realm was really tied up by the black chains, there was a high chance that they would be dragged in.
Also, some of the mine demons in the north showed signs of demonization, which was why the army of the Hundred Alliance was unwilling to explore there.
Perhaps they could guess that there were treasures in the north that could benefit them. However, the demonized mine demons were so powerful that even the alliance would suffer a lot of losses.
The main reason was that they didn’t gain much from the north, which was the most painful part. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they would gain a lot every time they explored other places. There were sacrifices and gains. Although there were losses, they could endure it. But if there were all sacrifices but no gains, who could bear the repeated explorations?
Therefore, from this part of the information, Han Fei could roughly tell that the north was a dangerous place, and it had many connections with the G.o.dfiend Sea.
From a certain piece of information, Han Fei saw that in the past, someone once said that the sky in the north had cracked, and countless indignant roars seemed to have erupted there.
Some people said that someone tried to dig into the northern area, only to dig out strange creatures out of the ground. That group of people was said to be a hundred-person exploration team, but only three people returned.
In any case, the mining area in the north was an almost uninhabited place that had the most interactions with the G.o.dfiend Sea.
Some people suspected that the seal on the G.o.dfiend Sea in the northern mining area had been loosened, and that there were demons causing trouble there.
Han Fei couldn’t help being curious. After reading the information, he couldn’t help but look at Old Chen. “Since the Infinite Mining Area is so dangerous, why didn’t the Monarch come to guard it? Is it really because there are mine demons comparable to G.o.ds in the Infinite Mining Area?”
