Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 312

Chapter 312: How Long Has the Female Demon Head Been Away?

On the mountain peak, Jiang Hao looked into the distance.

The Blood Tide Forest had calmed down, and it seemed there wouldn’t be any major changes.

“I’ve been meddling too much.”

Jiang Hao sighed deeply.

Whether it was the matter of Shang’an or the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead, he could have ignored them both.

Just watching everything without getting involved.

That way, he would never be in danger.

But he still intervened.

“Forget it, I’ll find another mine to dig in. Getting stronger quickly is the most important thing.”

Just as Jiang Hao was about to leave, a green light flew towards him.

It was a fragment of the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead.

After confirming no one was behind him, he used Universe in the Palm.

The nail-sized green fragment floated within the purple bead.

Upon close inspection, the fragment no longer possessed that terrifying power.

“No wonder the Heavenly Saber could destroy it.”

Damage could affect its power, which is why the Heavenly Saber could destroy it.

But the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead was different.

Because the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead was a collection of all misfortunes, its aura and every part of it were misfortune, bringing all sorts of disasters to people.

The only things effective against it were suppression and sealing.

Thinking this, Jiang Hao quickly took the sub-ring and left to prevent anyone from following.

……

Seven days later.

The Blood Tide Forest had completely settled down.

Jiang Hao returned to the mines.

He had looked around outside but hadn’t found any new mines.

There were only two in the Blood Tide Forest, so he came back.

He also wanted to see if there were any other changes.

Without the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead, the mines should have changed.

Arriving at the mine, Jiang Hao saw it slowly recovering.

The places that had been blasted open were also healing.

And they were about to be fully restored.

……

A moment later.

The mine was completely restored to its original state, and just when Jiang Hao thought that was it, the entrance also began to heal.

It seemed to be closing up.

……

By evening, the mine had completely closed.

Then the entire mine began to sink.

The next morning, Jiang Hao watched as the mine completely sank and disappeared from view.

The ground here became flat, and soon trees began to grow.

Gradually, it looked just like the surrounding area.

“Gone?”

The mine had disappeared right before his eyes, completely vanished.

Suddenly, he remembered the time he appraised the Enchantress, who was trapped in the mine by a twist of fate.

In fact, her seal was not the mine itself.

Now that the Heart-Devouring Bead from the Earth’s core had disappeared, had the Enchantress’s seal taken over, altering the mine?

That was the only explanation Jiang Hao could come up with.

Initially, he thought that if Shang’an became an immortal, he would definitely come back to rescue her.

He would take the same path as now.

But it seemed now that he might not be able to find it.

Regardless of whether Shang’an could come again or not, Jiang Hao didn’t care; he was concerned about the mine itself.

Where would he go mining now?

“Right, there’s another place.”

Jiang Hao remembered the mine Ding Yu had mentioned.

Although it was more complicated than this one, as long as there was ore, it was fine.

Even if the quality was a bit lower, it was still possible to find blue bubbles, and with some luck, even purple bubbles.

Without further thought, Jiang Hao went to the mine Ding Yu had previously mentioned.

Here, he could mine all day, but there was a period when he couldn’t leave the mine, especially when monsters were around.

They said it was because the space had undergone changes.

Once everything returned to normal, he could successfully leave.

For safety, it was best to leave the mine before the monsters appeared.

The timing was unpredictable, so they had to use another method to determine it, which was to place a crowing chicken unique to the Blood Tide Forest inside.

If the space began to fluctuate, it cause the chicken to crow, signaling it was time to leave.

The same method was used for subsequent entries.

After spending three days catching a crowing chicken, Jiang Hao began to enter the mine.

It was a valley with a hollow connecting to the surrounding rock walls.

After ensuring there were no issues, Jiang Hao began to step inside.

Once inside, he found the paths to be extremely bright and the main road was wide.

Reaching the end of a branch, Jiang Hao placed the crowing chicken to one side and gave it some food.

Then, he took out his magical hoe.

He began to mine.

Clang!

A blue bubble popped out.

【Cultivation+1】

“So soon?”

Jiang Hao was shocked; he thought it would take some time to adjust.

The ore here clearly wasn’t as good as the previous mine, so was this just luck?

Afterward, Jiang Hao continued to mine.

Clang!

【Spirit+1】

【Spirit+1】

【Spirit+1】

After half a day of mining that mostly increased his spirit, Jiang Hao found it too monotonous.

Then he began to mine day and night.

Two days passed, and he didn’t leave the mine.

Since the crowing chicken had never crowed, Jiang Hao began to doubt its effectiveness.

After checking several times, the chicken seemed fine, although it wasn’t very intelligent, it wasn’t stupefied either.

Moreover, he had checked around and indeed there were no monsters.

So he continued to mine.

During that time, three blue bubbles appeared, which was quite a lot.

He didn’t know if more would appear later.

…….

On the third day.

Cluck cluck cluck!

The rhythmic crowing of the chicken began.

Without a second thought, Jiang Hao quickly packed up the ore, took the crowing chicken, and left.

After he left, he waited a while before the mine became inaccessible.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Jiang Hao began to establish a spiritual field nearby.

The spiritual energy here was rich, and the soil was good, suitable for planting spiritual herbs.

After setting up the formation, he didn’t have to worry about mining anymore.

Then he could go find Gu Wen and Ding Yu to continue searching for spiritual herbs and selling ore.

Just then, he suddenly felt a vibration from the stone slab.

To his surprise, Senior Dan Yuan had called a meeting.

“Who would have thought the Secret Whisper Slate could be used for meetings in the Corpse Realm.”

Jiang Hao was quite surprised.

No wonder Hong Yuye wanted to find the person behind the scenes.

“Speaking of which, how long has it been since Hong Yuye came?”

Thinking carefully, she hadn’t come to inquire after the last meeting ended.

He didn’t think about it any longer and prepared to attend the meeting that evening.

He was also curious about the progress of the Fairy Gui.

……

“It’s been half a month, and we can’t find Jiang Hao at all.”

Outside the Blood Tide Forest, Ding Yu was quite helpless.

They had spent the past half-month looking for Jiang Hao and then for opportunities.

However, they had no results; Jiang Hao seemed to have evaporated from the world.

“The main issue is that there are no mines nearby.”

Gu Wen pondered for a moment and said:

“Suppose Jiang Hao is mining, would he have looked around? What would he do if he didn’t find any mines? At this moment, let’s assume he’s eager to mine.”

Ding Yu is not foolish and instantly realizes.

“Are you saying he went back to Blood Tide Forest?”

“Now that there’s no one inside, the most dangerous place might also be the safest. Plus, he’s not simple himself, so why not go back and look for an existing mine?” Gu Wen asked with a smile.

“Then, should we go back too?” Ding Yu asked.

“That depends on your perception, Ding Dao friend. After all, it’s not necessarily safe inside,” Gu Wen said.

“Don’t worry, I’ve been keeping an eye on it recently. No outsiders have arrived yet; it’s very quiet inside,” Ding Yu said.

……

At this moment, in the endless grassland, Yun Qi said with a smile to the Senior Sister beside him.

“I think we should split up tonight. Senior Sister also needs time to comprehend the technique obtained from the sixth stele, right?”

After a deep look at Yun Qi, Senior Sister Lan Qian nodded: “Alright.”
