The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!

"Everyone gets one, use it as quickly as you can, if it breaks, come back to me for another."

Liu Zheng distributed the prepared shovels to everyone.

These were enchanted shovels specially purchased from Sardiyo Trading Company, not only were they effective against soil and rock, but they also increased attack speed and reduced stamina consumption.

They were not only professional for digging soil but were also very handy for hitting people's heads.

Under his command, everyone formed a circle and began digging.

All standing were Transcendents, and with Shi Tiantian's ability to turn stone into mud aiding them, the excavation speed was incredibly fast.

Furthermore, Bai San gave Liu Zheng a generous gift, two pitch-black medicine pills.

"Name: Marching Elixir (Single-use)"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: After use, the player will not feel fatigue or muscle soreness, lasting two hours."

"Note: If you feel tired, it means you haven't trained enough. If you don't feel tired, it means you can train more."

"Can be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Name: Dragon Strength Tiger Vitality Pill (Single-use)"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Superior"

"Effect One: After use, the player's strength and Constitution Attribute increase by 10%, lasting one hour."

"Effect Two: After use, the player's stamina will be continuously replenished, lasting one hour."

"Note: If you feel tired, it means you haven't trained enough. If you don't feel tired, it means you can train more."

"Can be taken out of the instance: Yes"

With these two magical medicines that could turn humans into Niu Ma, everyone felt like they had grown wings.

In just over an hour, the excavation work made new progress.

"Boss, I've found something here!"

Niu Daji shouted.

Perhaps due to the exercise aiding digestion, its belly unexpectedly shrank, while its size increased by a third, now looking more like a Belgian Blue instead of a yellow cow.

"Everyone, prepare for battle."

Liu Zheng stopped digging and shouted.

Under everyone's gaze, Niu Daji carefully shoveled away the dirt in that area, revealing a patch of bluestone.

"Da Ji, give it a hard shove with the shovel."

Liu Zheng ordered.

"Okay, boss."

Niu Daji raised the iron shovel and thrust it down with all its might.

"Clang!"

Shovel blade and bluestone erupted in a shower of sparks.

However, the bluestone didn't even show a white edge, while the enchanted shovel's blade got nicked.

"Miss Tian Tian?"

Liu Zheng looked toward Shi Tiantian.

"These stones are protected by some kind of force, my ability is ineffective."

Shi Tiantian shook her head and said.

"So the Mountain Core is underneath these bluestones?"

"Yes."

Shi Tiantian nodded.

"Then it's fine."

Once the location is confirmed, everything becomes easier.

He was here to blast the mountain anyway, so what's below doesn't matter, just blow it all up.

"Yaksha, you go."

Liu Zheng commanded.

"Human, previously you would at least respectfully call me Your Excellency."

Yaksha seemed a bit disgruntled.

"Those I call Your Excellency are either big shots I can't afford to offend or enemies I'm planning to kill, which do you think you are?"

He retorted.

"Hmph."

Yaksha sneered.

Clearly, she was neither the first nor did she want to be the second.

When she sat on the Blue Elf's Magic Carpet, she had mostly abandoned the idea of challenging Liu Zheng.

The City Supervision Department and the City Safety Department might grind the Dark Elf to chaos, but it's the Religious and Mysterious Affairs Department that truly kills the goose that lays the golden eggs.

"Stand back a little, don't blame me if you get hurt later."

Yaksha took out a spare Magic Wand from beneath her loincloth, then said.

"Alright, everyone move back a bit."

Liu Zheng naturally wouldn't argue at this point.

"The Dark Sect: Annihilation!"

Once everyone was at a safe distance, Yaksha cast a Spell.

"The Dark Sect: Witch's Flight!"

She then cast another Spell, flying more than a hundred meters away.

The Dark Sect is very dangerous, easily affecting the user, previously during face-offs there was no choice, but now she had to ensure safety given the chance.

Once safety was confirmed, Yaksha waved her Magic Wand, triggering a magic singularity explosion.

The dim black light flickered, transforming into an invisible shockwave that mercilessly destroyed everything around.

After the aftermath subsided, everyone gathered around the pit again.

The explosion of the magic singularity doubled the diameter of the pit; everything they hadn't cleared away before was now clean.

"I must say, your Magic is quite handy for digging holes. You might as well give up slave trading and consider contracting construction, it's probably a more promising career."

Liu Zheng joked half-heartedly.

"There's a Spell in Light Magic called 'Dissolving Rock' that's even better."

Yaksha surprisingly started chatting with him.

This Spell works like the laser eyes from movies, effective against rocks and metals, but it melts flesh just as quickly.

"Then why don't you use it?"

"Because I can't."

Yaksha said confidently.

"You're useless then."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and glanced at the bottom of the pit.

Unexpected yet expectedly, even after such an impact, the bluestone remained intact, only revealing more parts of itself.

The bluestones they saw were actually steps, leading deeper underground step by step.

"Is this a... underground tomb?"

Back in middle school, he was quite fascinated with tomb raiding novels, thus he read quite a bit about tombs; although not much formal knowledge was retained, he had some general impressions.

"It seems like it."
