Chapter 1304: Human Nature

Sigma_ SSins

Crack! Crack!

The massive mine created by several mineral stars could be compared to a small-sized life star, but its volume wasn鈥檛 small and its weight could be even heavier than a big life star.

Explosions and shattering sounds became thicker.

The members of the Chen family were frightened. Looking at the mine with earth-shaking commotions, they were guessing what was going in there.

"Retreat! Retreat! All of you!"

Chen Rong and Chen Lei shouted and asked the Chen family warriors to leave the mine. They discolored and instinctively moved away.

While they were retreating, the commotion inside the mine became scarier. They could see many big rocks explode and shoot up into the sky before disappearing bizarrely.

They were so frightened. However, when they looked at the mine created by several mineral stars, they found that it was shrinking!

Looking carefully, they recognized that it wasn鈥檛 the mine was shrinking. It was because many big rocks on the mine were disappearing. It was like a fat man had his fat drawn away rapidly, so he became lanky.

Evidently, it was so strange.

Everything was beyond their knowledge. They didn鈥檛 know the reason so they could only run away fast to not get involved. They were afraid that they would disappear mysteriously like those rocks.

Shortly after, the massive mine shrunk. Now, it was only one-third of its original size!

They saw many fine space slits drawing the rocks into them and disappear.

"The warriors of the Chen family... get one hundred miles away!" Shi Yan鈥檚 voice arose with power that the others couldn鈥檛 deny.

Chen Rong was bewildered and hesitating.

"Chief, it鈥檚... I think there鈥檚 a precious treasure! They鈥檙e about to dig it up! That mine belongs to our Chen family. He asked us to leave to claim that treasure alone!" A greedy old man of the Chen family couldn鈥檛 help but hiss. His eyes thirstily looked at the mine.

Listening to him, more and more members of the Chen family had their hearts beat frantically. They became excited when they looked at the mine.

It was human nature. When their lives were threatened, they wanted to live, so they only think about their lives. However, once they were sure that their lives are secure, an evil thought rose in their mind.

Many warriors of the Chen family though that the others were digging some treasure in their mine. They thought that treasure should belong to the Chen family.

Chen Rong hesitated and debated on whether to leave or to stay and bargain with Shi Yan to have a share of the treasure.

At least... he has to give us a bowl of soup, right?

He thought instinctively.

He knew Wright and the entire God Clan warriors here were killed, but he didn鈥檛 know that Shi Yan did that. Shi Yan had only First Sky of Incipient God Realm and he had never told them his real position. Also, the Chen family didn鈥檛 have a lot of communication with the world outside, so he guessed that someone else had killed Wright.

Thus, he wasn鈥檛 really afraid of Shi Yan. When his life wasn鈥檛 threatened and he was greedy for treasure, such enticement made him not recognize his position.

"Retreat!" Chen Lei hissed. The scar on her cheek twisted. She looked worried and hurried.

She knew the situation better than Chen Rong and her eyes were much sharper. She knew Shi Yan鈥檚 intimidation. "Listen to him. Or else, we will receive a deadly disaster!"

"That treasure should belong to our Chen family! We should at least know what it is. We should at least have a share of it, right?" The man who had triggered the crowd talked again. He looked at Chen Lei with cold eyes. "Do you like him? Don鈥檛 ever think about it. With your appearance, it鈥檚 impossible!"

Listening to him, Chen Lei felt so cold. She couldn鈥檛 believe what she had just heard. "Uncle Hong! How dare you say that?"

Chen Hong was at Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm. He was an important warrior in the Chen family too. With a cold and stiff face, he said, "Isn鈥檛 it true? If you don鈥檛 like him, why are you protecting him? Why don鈥檛 you think about our family鈥檚 welfare? You brought him here, didn鈥檛 you?"

Many warriors of the Chen family were surprised. They then looked at Chen Lei.

Except for the warriors who had followed Chen Lei for years, the mine slaves and the other warriors of the Chen family looked at her doubtfully, their faces dark.

They doubted Chen Lei that she had found the treasure when she had managed this mining area. They thought that Chen Lei had used this massive treasure to pay for Shi Yan鈥檚 service of killing the God Clan warriors here.

Chen Lei looked at their countenances. She felt so down. Eventually, she looked at Chen Rong. "There are some people we can鈥檛 ever offend. For our Chen family, I hope you will think more carefully."

"I know," Chen Rong frowned at her. "We will just watch from a far distance. We want to see what kind of treasure it is. I think we can try for something. It鈥檚 good if we can get it.

Chen Rong鈥檚 eyes sparkled.

"It should belong to our Chen family. Even if he鈥檚 more overbearing, he should give us some soup, right?" Chen Hong licked his lips.

Chen Lei was desperate. She wasn鈥檛 a fool. She could see Chen Rong鈥檚 greed. As they weren鈥檛 threatened from the God Clan anymore, Chen Rong wanted to show off his power. The "big treasure" there was also a big chance to him.

"Whoever believes me, come with me now," she sighed and left with a desperate countenance.

Many mine slaves and the guards under her commands followed her silently.

Chen Rong and the other members of the Chen family retreated a little and continued watching the mine. They didn鈥檛 listen to Shi Yan鈥檚 order to retreat one hundred miles away.

"Chief!" Chen Hong looked at the place with greed. "When the great treasure appears, it will come with a great phenomenon. That man has just First Sky of Incipient God Realm. It will take a lot of energy from him to activate the treasure. Should we?"

"Shut up!" Chen Rong hissed.

Chen Hong looked at him. He was moved, but he just nodded and said nothing. He got his calculation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The mine still had earth-shaking commotions.

Gradually, many clouds came from the far away area, hovering above the mine. Lightning flashed and thunder echoed inside the clouds. Lightning bolts shot out of the mine and stirred up the entire area.

In the flashes of lightning and the echoing thunder, a gigantic silver dragon skeleton arose. A thick layer of Wind Thunder Stone covered this skeleton. They then fell off the dragon鈥檚 body.

Shi Yan and Ouyang Luo Shuang appeared in the dazzling light so the others couldn鈥檛 see them. They continuously changed their positions above the silver dragon skeleton as if they were surveying something.

"It鈥檚... It is..." Chen Hong stammered as he was so shocked by the massive skeleton.

"That skeleton belongs to a level 13 beast! Oh gosh, the lightning and thunder energy from it is so earth-shaking! It鈥檚 a real treasure! An incredible treasure!" screamed a warrior of the Chen family.

"Sir!" Chen Hong looked at Chen Rong, his eyes showing his greed.

Chen Rong鈥檚 heart beat frantically as his eyes were fixed on the Immemorial Thunder Dragon鈥檚 remains. "Sir, we鈥檝e been guarding this place for several thousand years. That mine belongs to our Chen family. Please consider our harsh living situation for many years and give us a bit of that skeleton. We will appreciate your good deeds a lot!"

Shi Yan was astounded in the light. He looked at Chen Rong from a far distance and frowned. "I told you guys to retreat one hundred miles away. Didn鈥檛 you hear me?"

"It鈥檚 our Chen family鈥檚 territory. Why can鈥檛 we stay here to investigate from the beginning?" shouted Chen Hong.

Shi Yan was so surprised. He looked at the man from a distance and talked oddly. "Oh, it turns out you鈥檙e greedy for treasures. How ridiculous! You鈥檙e just a bunch of ants that had to struggle to survive. And now you鈥檙e so greedy that you want to steal the elephant鈥檚 food. Haha."

As soon as he finished, a moonlight shot out from Ouyang Luo Shuang鈥檚 light and fell on Chen Hong like a meteor.

Immediately, Chen Hong shattered like glass powder. His body exploded so quickly that he could not even register that he was dying.

Chen Rong was shocked. He was awakened quickly and he screamed, "We will go now!"

He had never thought that the others would be so cruel. He thought that he could bargain for something because the others would have spent a lot of energy already so it was a chance to seize something.

But he regretted it now.

"I鈥檓 going to clean this mess for you. Just focus on your work," Ouyang Luo Shuang said and then flew away. Instantly, the moonlight beams shot out like a shower of arrows. The remaining Chen family warriors exploded shortly after.

Shi Yan just felt that it was ridiculous. He didn鈥檛 even bat an eye on the Chen family member as he said deliberately. "Then thank you. I don鈥檛 need to distract my mind then.

Then, he continued to use his energy and cut off the rock on the Immemorial Thunder Dragon鈥檚 body to reveal it completely.

"We were so wrong! We know that we were wrong! We beg for your mercy!" Chen Rong screamed as if he could even tear his intestines and begged. At this moment, he knew that he would never have sharp eyes like his sister Chen Lei. He knew that he was so wrong this time.

Unfortunately, Shi Yan didn鈥檛 mind and Ouyang Luo Shuang wasn鈥檛 going to stop her slaughter.

In her eyes, the Chen family鈥檚 deed was so low. She had to kill all of those greedy, despicable warriors to clear her mind and purify her mood.

Thus, Chen Rong鈥檚 group had to die.

In a pretty far area, Chen Lei and a group of warriors in shabby clothes looked at them and the moonlighting shooting like arrows. Although she was so mournful, she said through her gritted teeth. "No one鈥檚 allowed to get there!"

"Madame Lei!" screamed a guard.

"Please, I鈥檓 begging you. Please stay to hold on to the Chen family鈥檚 bloodline. Don鈥檛 go there to die." Chen Lei clutched her chest. "It鈥檚 they who seeks death. I told them those weren鈥檛 warriors we could provoke. They didn鈥檛 listen to me. Their fate was determined by their greed."

Listening to her, the warriors on her side quieted down.

They also knew that Chen Rong and Chen Hong weren鈥檛 nice people before they were enslaved by the God Clan. Living under the God Clan鈥檚 subjugation, they had to turn more honest. However, as soon as the God Clan鈥檚 threat was gone, their nature came back. They did the same things they used to do.

However, the one they had encountered this time was even more brutal and heartless than the God Clan.

Thus, their dramatic fate was sealed.
