C152 Return to Base

"Kid Duanmu, did you hear that? There really is a high-grade origin stone ore vein here!"

Chen Tong's face was filled with joy. He walked over and patted his shoulder as he teased, "Kid, you have made a great contribution to the sect this time. A tenth of the reward, tsk tsk... Even I am a little envious. "

It could be seen that his heart wasn't calm at all. This time, Duanmu Kuang had discovered this ore mine, and it was of great significance to the Five Mountain Sect.

All along, the Five Mountain Sect had always been at the bottom of the five major sects because of their cultivation resources.

It was common knowledge that the most important thing for a warrior to cultivate was resources. The Five Mountain Sect, on the other hand, was the poorest among the major sects, except for a few mines in Southern Ferocious Land. They didn't have much income. It was already difficult to maintain such a large sect. Their financial resources were far from being comparable to the other large sects, and they were firmly suppressed.

As an elder of Five Mountain Sect, Chen Tong naturally knew about this. Now that he had confirmed that this was a high-grade origin stone ore vein, he couldn't control his excitement.

"Hehe... As a disciple of a sect, he ought to share the burden of the sect. This disciple only did what he was supposed to do. It's not a big credit. Elder Chen Tong, you flatter me. " Duanmu Kuang chuckled. His facial expression remained unchanged, as if he had just done something insignificant. He appeared very calm and composed, as if he was the one who got the one-tenth of the reward. It didn't cause him any trouble.

However, in fact, he was already overjoyed in his heart. He secretly exclaimed, F * ck, I'm rich. I'm really f * cking rich.

Chen Tong naturally did not know what Duanmu Kuang was thinking. He looked at him from head to toe and nodded repeatedly. Duanmu Kuang, on the other hand, naturally held his head high and puffed out his chest. He looked more and more calm and steady, which made him more and more satisfied the more he looked at him.

"En... He was neither lovable nor impatient. He was not moved by external things. It was indeed not bad! "He said this and praised him. However, he did not mention anything about the reward.

Duanmu Kuang secretly bared his teeth. Why didn't this guy say when he would give him the reward? Could it be that he had acted too much earlier?

"Hehe... Elder Chen Tong, that, when will you give me the reward?" He laughed dryly and asked in a low voice. The reason why he had worked so hard to guard this place was because of this. He couldn't allow Chen Tong to be fooled by just a few words of praise.

At the same time, he also felt very awkward. Just now, he had displayed a lofty appearance, but now, in the blink of an eye, he had asked about the reward. This scene was just a single word... embarrassing.

"Heh... You brat." Chen Tong was amused. He said with a smile, "One tenth of the reward is a rule of the sect. It's yours or yours. He couldn't run away. However, this is a very important matter, and the reward is very large. I have already reported to the sect that once the origin stone ore vein is excavated, it will be distributed to you one by one."

"Sweat... why are you waiting so long? " Duanmu Kuang's face instantly fell. How long would it take for the reward to be given only after the mine was mined?

He didn't have any origin stone left. There were only a few pieces left in his ring. Usually, he didn't want to use them, so he had to wait for the reward to save his life. He didn't expect this to be the result.

"What else do you think? Do you know how much your reward is?" Chen Tong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Not to mention that we don't know about the origin stone storage in this mine, we just know about it. Where can the sect get so many origin stone for you in such a short period of time? This is a high-grade origin stone, not a rock that can be seen everywhere. When the rewards are distributed, your net worth will be even greater than mine. Go and enjoy yourself while you're at it. "

"Eh." Duanmu Kuang replied in a dull tone. He was depressed and muttered in a low voice, "But I don't have any origin stone to cultivate now. Can't I give some to you first so that I can maintain my cultivation for this period of time?"

"Come, take it." Obviously, Chen Tong's hearing ability was extremely intelligent. He had heard these words. Immediately, he took out a bag of origin stone from his spatial interspatial ring and handed it to Duanmu Kuang. He said, "There are five hundred high-grade origin stone in there. It will be enough for you to consume for a long period of time."

"Hehe... Thank you, Elder Chen Tong." Only then did Duanmu Kuang smile happily. He impatiently opened the small bag and began to check.

Looking at his anxious look, how could he not be moved by anything? Chen Tong secretly looked away. This was clearly a little money grubber.

The high-grade origin stone was emitting a gentle sparkling light. It looked like it was completely crystal clear. There were almost no impurities at all. As he held it in his hand, he could feel the extremely rich and surging Yuan Qi spreading. Compared to a middle-grade origin stone, it was more than a grade higher.

Duanmu Kuang picked up one of them and examined it for a long time. Only then did he reluctantly put it back into the bag. He tightened the bag's opening and stored it into the interspatial ring before bidding farewell to Chen Tong.

Now, the experts of the sect had already surrounded this place. They had taken control of this area. Although the reward hadn't been obtained yet, Chen Tong had already reported it to the sect. It could be said that there was no use for him to stay here any longer.

At the moment, there were two things that needed to be done urgently. First, it was to send Chen Ling away and leave this woman by his side. It made him very uncomfortable. Secondly, of course, it was because of the treasure. At that time, he had put those two things into the Bloodthirsty Heavenly Bead in the stone room. He hadn't had the time to take a closer look.

Duanmu Kuang was burning with anxiety. He was about to leave, and Chen Tong naturally wouldn't stop him. In his point of view, Duanmu Kuang's body was covered in injuries, and he really needed to return to the station to recuperate for a period of time. Furthermore, with Chen Ling, an outsider here, it was extremely inconvenient to explore and mine the ore vein. In his heart, he really did not want her to leave.

When he heard that Duanmu Kuang wanted to return to campsite, Chen Tong didn't say anything else and agreed. He also got someone to bring over a Flying Profound Beast and hand it over to Duanmu Kuang.

At this time, Chen Ling had already woken up slowly. She shyly stood beside Duanmu Kuang, appearing very restrained. The place was bustling with noise. Every single person wearing the uniform of Five Mountain Sect was busy working everywhere. The entire area was bustling with activity.

When she woke up from her sleep, she saw this scene. She was immediately stunned. This was because none of the members of the Five Mountain Sect were ordinary. They were all experts. They all had certain achievements in the Martial Dao. Especially this middle-aged man called Elder Chen Tong. His Qi was as majestic as a mountain. Even compared to the Sect Master in her sect, he was slightly better. It scared her so much that she didn't dare to make a sound.

The Flying Profound Beast lay dormant in all directions. It flapped its wings lightly and emitted a dazzling brilliance under the sunlight. It blinded Chen Ling's eyes. She had never seen such a big scene before.

At this moment, she was full of doubts. Why did Duanmu Kuang knock her out? In the end, how did they escape from the stone room? And why were there so many people from the Five Mountain Sect here? What were they doing? These questions were all suppressed in her heart, and she didn't dare to ask any of them.

"Junior Sister Chen, come up." Duanmu Kuang called out and took the lead to jump onto the back of the Flying Profound Beast. He waved at her.

"Yes." Only then did Chen Ling respond. Her figure moved and jumped behind Duanmu Kuang.

"Junior Sister Chen, sit tight. We are leaving." Duanmu Kuang gave the order. The Profound Beast flapped its huge wings and jumped into the sky, flying towards campsite at high speed.

The Flying Profound Beast's speed was very fast. It flashed past like a meteor, drawing a blurry shadow in the sky. With a swoosh, it had already flown for an unknown number of miles.

"Haha... this is fun, this is too fun! 'Hurry up! Hurry up and fly a little faster for Yours Truly! '" This was the first time Duanmu Kuang had personally controlled a Flying Profound Beast. He was in high spirits as he laughed out loud.

Along the way, his childish heart was still there, and he was in high spirits. Sometimes, he increased the speed of the Profound Beast, and sometimes, he slowed it down. This Profound Beast was so tired that it was gasping for breath. Perhaps in the beast's heart, it had already taken this young man as a madman. Who could control it like this?

If it wasn't for the fact that this Flying Profound Beast had already been tamed and was extremely obedient, it would definitely have shaken them off and turned them into meat patty.

Duanmu Kuang was completely unaware of this. While laughing, he had gotten over the addiction of being a pilot. It was only when he was about to turn on the light that he drove the Flying Profound Beast back to the human campsite.
