Under the ground, inside the deep hole, a huge chunk of something shiny and sparkly like a crystal was jutting out and a middle-aged man and a younger woman were sitting near this crystal.
They had their eyes closed and their hands were placed on the crystal. Their chests visibly rose up and down indicative of deep breathing.
"This… This…" Duyi gulped and moved closer to observe the situation.
Even at this distance, he could already feel the thick density of mana emanating from within that hole and as he tip-toed closer, his suspicions only became stronger.
But how could it be possible? How could such a big mana core exist? It almost looked like common metal ores!
When a small round ball of mana core gives so much strength and power, he couldn't even fathom the things one could possibly gain by absorbing that big ore!
Just how strong can one become by absorbing that much energy!
Just the mere thought of it made him extremely nervous. With this, their entire group's power should grow exponentially and no beast would ever be able to threaten them! They can successfully claim this district and build their base!
And such a priceless treasure was in the hands of a bunch of civilians and weaklings?
This was just a disaster waiting to happen. It was a good thing that their Commander had issued orders to intervene.
Otherwise, this kind of treasure would only attract trouble and some other powerful beast might have devoured everyone here without even leaving out the bones.
"I… I need to report this back as soon as possible." Duyi nodded to himself and quickly prepared to turn back.
But just as he did, he once again froze and looked shocked. His heart almost stopped beating. Standing in front of him was the silhouette of a black ominous ferocious beast. Maybe a wolf?
"What… what the hell?" Duyi took a step back, almost falling into the gaping hole on the ground. He had never come across such a powerful being.
Just the mere presence of it made his knees weak. However, the next instant the silhouette flickered and the beast disappeared as if it was just a mirage.
"Ah…" Duyi opened and closed his mouth wordlessly. He looked around, his heart still pounding like crazy, deafening his ears, but the beast was nowhere to be seen.
However, he hadn't expected them to be so extreme and decisive in their actions, especially when most of them were from the armed forces and the military.
Attacking and forcefully making a group of people submit was very different from hoarding resources and claiming hierarchy.
While the latter could be forgiven under the current circumstances as everyone was basically fighting for their own survival, the former was something that he could never overlook.
