The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 481: Crystal Stone Mine

Tata Jupiter, by a mountain stream.

The Little Silver Snake slithered from Nian Shutong’s palm to the ground and began to grow larger.

The little white mouse agilely climbed onto the body of the Little Silver Snake and settled on its head like a fancy hat.

The two beasts communicated with no barriers. The Little Silver Snake crawled forward and swam into the pond, stretching out its long body to facilitate passage for Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe who were behind.

Nian Shutong could have flown over, but considering her injuries, she chose to walk instead.

The Little Pink Pig also grew a bit larger, though not to its maximum size, just enough to carry Dou Dou. They entered the water, and its four hooves paddled joyfully, quickly reaching the entrance of the cave.

On the shore, Fu Yunhe said to Nian Shutong, "You go first, I’ll cover the rear."

"Okay."

Nian Shutong didn’t dare delay and stepped onto the body of the Little Silver Snake, quickly reaching the front of the cave, followed closely by Fu Yunhe.

Once everyone had crossed, Nian Shutong waved her Spiritual Power and cleaned up the traces of their original lingering spot.

As for the Ugly Bird that claimed to be a dragon, it had been collected by Nian Shutong into a Space Ring—an excellent refining material not to be discarded.

With no trace left, the group vanished behind the waterfall.

Inside the cave, it was very cold, the walls were damp, and there was quite a bit of water on the ground.

Fu Yunhe was constantly careful, following right behind Nian Shutong, fearing that she might slip due to her injuries.

But Nian Shutong walked steadily without any problems.

She was just a bit depleted of Spiritual Power; superficial injuries were not serious for her.

Moreover, her palm was always filled with Crystal Stones that replenished her dried-up Spiritual Power.

So, she didn’t feel there was anything wrong or need to stop to recover; her priority was to find Crystal Stones as soon as possible.

The battle here had surely attracted much attention, and any moment carried the risk of being discovered.

The little white mouse directed the Little Silver Snake skillfully as they continuously moved forward.

Dou Dou sat on the Little Pink Pig, quite stable.

His mind was filled with questions, but he sensibly understood that it wasn’t the time to ask; his aunt was in a rush.

Three humans, three beasts, walking for almost an hour, the cave twisting and turning as if there was no end.

With the Ugly Bird having lived here all the while, no wonder no one had discovered the Crystal Stones or even dared to come.

Another hour passed, and the little white mouse finally stopped.

"Master, it’s right here."

Here.

Nian Shutong had regained some of her strength, and her Cultivation Technique was continuously operating, slowly aiding her recovery.

"Inside the wall?"

Nian Shutong didn’t feel the overflow of Spiritual Energy, so she asked.

The little white mouse agilely jumped down from the head of the Little Silver Snake and climbed onto the wall.

"Here it is!"

Nian Shutong and the others looked up to see the little white mouse in front of a hole, suitable for a person of average build, pointing with its little paw and saying, "It’s inside!"

It was still further inside.

Nian Shutong assessed the opening and said to Fu Yunhe behind her, who had been trying to protect her, "It’s a good thing you’re quite slender now, otherwise you wouldn’t fit through."

"Xiao He, you go first."

Nian Shutong was about to project her Spiritual Power to form a ladder when Fu Yunhe held her back.

"Don’t waste it, I have a ladder."

Fu Yunhe took out a ladder that could lean against the wall from his Space Ring and let Nian Shutong go up first.

Nian Shutong looked at the ladder and praised Fu Yunhe, "Impressive! You have everything."

She climbed up first and let the Little Silver Snake go in first to wait and make sure there were no problems. Then, she also climbed in and stuck her head out to say to Dou Dou, "Come up, Auntie will catch you."

Dou Dou obediently climbed down from the Little Pink Pig, was lifted by Fu Yunhe onto the ladder, and climbed up steadily. When she reached the last rung, she grabbed Nian Shutong’s hand and was pulled up.

Next was the Little Pink Pig.

Fu Yunhe, who had been guarding behind them, felt his worldview shocked again because this was a pig that could climb ladders.

But then again, compared to pigs that could talk, it didn’t seem so astonishing anymore.

When Fu Yunhe came up, he put away the ladder and entered the hole.

The entrance was still very narrow, but fortunately, the three of them, one smaller than the other, fit perfectly to crawl through.

After crawling for about three to four hundred meters, the passage began to slope downwards and was quite steep.

Nian Shutong held Dou Dou in her arms, and this time let the Little Pink Pig go down first.

The Little Pink Pig rolled down, hitting the bottom after about ten seconds, and transmitted a message to Nian Shutong, "Master, there is no problem."

Only then did Nian Shutong slide down holding Dou Dou, with the Little Silver Snake and Xiao Bai the mouse following her.

When Fu Yunhe came down, his first reaction was, "So that’s how it is."

At this point in the passage, one could clearly feel the presence of Crystal Stones.

Fu Yunhe was surprised to learn that interstellar space also had Crystal Stones.

He thought all the Crystal Stones were in the territory of the Insect Race.

"Xiao He, dig out the Crystal Stones."

"We need to speed up, once the large amount of Crystal Stones is mined, their Spiritual Energy will leak out."

Nian Shutong’s words immediately spurred Fu Yunhe into action.

The three humans and three beasts each chose a direction and began to mine the Crystal Stones.

Most of the Crystal Stones here were embedded in the walls and had to be chipped away bit by bit.

Dou Dou also took a Flying Knife from Fu Yunhe, his little bun-like face determined to look ready for battle as he started digging at a Crystal Stone.

Dou Dou must help Auntie work!

Nian Shutong didn’t interfere too much with Dou Dou’s determination; it was good for the kid to do some work, as long as she ensured he didn’t get hurt.

The other three beasts, Xiao Bai the mouse dug the fastest, and all the stones it mined were top-grade.

The Little Silver Snake and the Little Pink Pig were also not slow, one using its claws, snapping one after another, and the other using its tail, hitting them one by one.

Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe also worked swiftly, everyone digging with focused determination.

This time, compared to the last time when Nian Shutong mined alone, the speed was incredibly faster.

No one outside had discovered what was happening here yet, and the Spiritual Energy of the Crystal Stones did indeed leak out a bit, especially when they hit a patch of top-grade Crystal Stones, they all got excited. freewёbnoνel-com

There were so many top-grade Crystal Stones!

"Quick!"

Nian Shutong urged with one word, and everyone sped up again.

But thanks to the temporary control arranged by Old Song outside, no one could come over for the time being.

Only some instinct-driven beasts slowly gathered towards this place, but because it was the ugly bird’s nesting place, they did not dare to come.

This gained a lot of time for Nian Shutong and her group, and when they finally mined all the top-grade Crystal Stones, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation was under control, nothing to fear.
