After being determined by the elf, the scope of this crystal mineral vein is quite large.
Zi Chen returned to the high ground. He looked at the hidden city and fell into deep thought.
If it were just an ordinary mine, he would abandon it without hesitation, because he might have to take the initiative to start a war with the survivors.
This is obviously not cost-effective.
But this is a mine that may be second only to the Soul Gathering Crystal. Its huge value makes Zi Chen have to think deeply, even if he does not hesitate to take risks for it.
His initial plan was to dig deep elsewhere and enter from the ground just like the Tianjing vein he discovered.
But as soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by the elf.
Because the opportunity lies under this city, once it is excavated, it will inevitably bring great commotion. Even the elf guessed that this city seems to have a hidden meaning when it appears here.
This puts Zi Chen in a difficult position. Giving up is obviously impossible. Should he just violate the agreement and start a war directly?
By that time, all the survivors might take action against the Holy Thunder Clan, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
"How about giving up temporarily?"
Zi Chen said: "When others kill here, these survivors will naturally leave, just like they did when they were outside."
When he was in the outer area, Zi Chen encountered a small settlement of the survivors. Finally, as everyone went deeper, the survivors evacuated on their own.
"What if they don't leave, or someone else gets there first?" The elf had his own worries.
Zi Chen said: "In that case, why don't you swallow part of it first?"
The elf gave Zi Chen a roll of his eyes.

Zi Chen stayed here for three days and still had no idea, not even the thought of going in to investigate.
After thinking twice, he decided to leave here first.
He has delayed too long. If he cannot find other resources that can be mined, he will have to bear the loss.
After all, he found nothing during this period, but the people from the Holy Thunder Clan kept moving in.
Just when Zi Chen was about to leave, suddenly there was a light and shadow flying from the city below.
Zi Chen immediately held his breath and hid himself.
The man appeared in the sky. He glanced around, smiled slightly and said, "Since you are here, why don't you show up?"
This is a somewhat familiar voice.
Zi Chen canceled his concealment method and stood up.
Standing in the sky is the leader who ordered the retreat last time.
"It turns out it's leader Zi Chen. Why did he come to us? Did he want to change his mind and attack us?" Tes smiled slightly.
Zi Chen patted the dust on his body and said, "Just kidding, what do you call me brother?"
"Tes."
Tes looked back at the city in the woods and said, "Go and sit inside?"
"convenient?"
"It's convenient, but I'm afraid that Leader Zichen won't dare to go."
Zi Chen laughed and said, "Just in time to visit."
Zi Chen followed Tes and headed towards the huge city below.
This is indeed a tree city, and the big trees around it have the ability to shield the atmosphere.
After actually entering here, Zi Chen's perception became more acute, and he discovered that the survivors living here were all at the level of the Holy Spirit.
Every one is.
His expression changed.
Tesi said with a smile: "This is our secret military base, and the people who live here are all warriors. Leader Zichen, are you planning to kill us when you suddenly visit here?"
"Chief Tes is joking, I admire the ancient remnants for their strong fighting power," Zi Chen said.
Tesi immediately shook his head and said: "It's okay for other people to say this. When it comes from your mouth, Leader Zichen, why do I feel ashamed?"
The two people, who were supposed to be enemies, just treated each other politely and came to a castle.
I wonder if the people around have been deliberately dismissed, but there are only two people in the huge castle.
After sitting down, Tes said: "I stopped talking to the leader and asked him directly. I don't know why the leader came here. Is he really going to destroy our team?"
Zi Chen looked at Tes and did not speak immediately.
Tes said: "The leader might as well speak up."
Zi Chen hesitated and said: "In that case, then I will tell the truth."
Zi Chen pointed to his feet and said: "There are resources we need down here, so we found this place."
"that is it?"
"certainly!"
Tes said: "I thought the leader was going to take action against us."
Zi Chen shook his head and said: "How is this possible? I have promised before that I will never initiate a war with you."
Tes looked at Zi Chen, "I want to know how the leader handles the resources here."
Zi Chen said helplessly: "What else can we do? Just wait. When you leave, we will come back. Maybe we will start a war with others by then."
Tes said: "Then how do we evacuate?"
"What?" Zi Chen was stunned when he heard the sound.
"What if we withdraw, are we willing to leave this place to you, the leader?" Tes asked again.
"Isn't this possible?"
Zi Chen said: "You live here, why do you want to evacuate?"
Tes said: "Didn't the leader also say that we will evacuate sooner or later? Instead of being beaten and running away now, doesn't the leader owe us a favor?"
Zi Chen's eyes changed, "Are you serious?"
Tes said seriously: "How can I dare to joke about this kind of thing?"
Zi Chen nodded and said, "Tell me, what price do I need to pay?"
This time it was Tes' turn to be stunned.
Zi Chen said: "I believe that you will not give us a favor in vain. What do I need to pay, or what do we need to pay?"
Tes suddenly laughed, very happily, "It's convenient to deal with smart people. We want to get the truth from Leader Zichen. Last time, Leader, you said you could arrange for us to go to the area where you live. I don't know if it's true.
Fake!"
Zi Chen said without thinking: "Of course it's true!"
Tes said: "Isn't there any difficulty or risk?"
Zi Chen thought for a while and said: "In my opinion, there should be no difficulty or risk, but we have to go back to the clan to discuss the details, but it shouldn't be a big problem."
Tes said: "If I say that our condition is to evacuate these people, leader, you have to arrange a new location for them until they are satisfied. I wonder if the leader is willing?"
Zi Chen was surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would actually make this request.
"In other words, let our people go to your world to see if that place is suitable for us to live in."
Tes said: "Of course, we will still withdraw before that."
