Chapter 71

Suddenly, a faint, muffled mooing sound seemed to echo from the depths of the mining area.

The sound was heavy and dull, and at the same time, the surrounding mine walls trembled slightly.

However, the source seemed quite distant—though the sound was familiar, it wasn’t yet clear enough.

Qin Han quickened his pace.

Five minutes later.

Before a solid mineral wall.

The two figures came to a stop.

The White-haired Elder ran his hand along the wall at the end of the tunnel. "A month ago, when we dug up to this point, we heard strange noises. I thought it unwise and halted further excavation in this direction."

"But even though we stopped digging, the noises have grown closer over time."

"You heard it just now—it won’t be long before that monster breaks through the wall."

A deep worry etched itself onto the old man’s face.

Qin Han remained silent, pressing his ear against the wall.

He waited quietly.

Then— A distinct moo!

The monster roared again.

This time, Qin Han heard it clearly.

His heart surged with excitement!

It’s really it!

The Purple Crystal Beast!

A legendary Monster Beast.

This creature fed on gold veins, preferring to burrow into gold deposits and slowly consume them, moving on to the next only after finishing one.

Over time, as it devoured gold, purple crystals would gradually grow on its back.

These crystals were recognized by the game’s heavenly laws—each could be directly decomposed into 100,000 Gold Coins.

Of course, the true value of these crystals far exceeded mere gold.

In the later stages of his past life, a single crystal could fetch nearly 500,000 Gold Coins in the Myriad Heavens.

This alone spoke volumes about their rarity.

When Qin Han first learned of the Purple Crystal Beast’s presence, he could hardly believe his ears.

After all, this beast was notoriously picky—ordinary gold deposits couldn’t satisfy it.

The Gold Mine before them, though rich, was nothing compared to the truly massive gold veins in the Myriad Heavens.

For such a mine to attract a Purple Crystal Beast was nothing short of a miracle!!!

Inside the Gold Mine, Qin Han smiled faintly.

"It must be because I’m the first to reach the Thunder Poison Island dungeon in the Myriad Heavens—that’s why I’ve stumbled upon such fortune."

"Judging by its cow-like roar, it’s a fully matured beast, carrying at least three crystals. If I can obtain them, that tenfold card will be within reach."

Without wasting another moment, under the White-haired Elder’s stunned gaze, Qin Han donned his ancient armor and summoned the Godslayer Bow.

He took five steps back, drew the bowstring, and aimed at the mineral wall.

The White-haired Elder gasped in horror. "Sir Guard, what are you doing? Do you intend to break through the wall to confront that monster? This wall is built of solid ore—even a dozen strong men couldn’t break it in less than a day or two. How could an arrow possibly—"

Before he could finish, a dazzling arrow shot forth.

The wall, as hard as tempered steel, was pierced as effortlessly as tofu.

"What... is this???" The old man trembled from head to toe. How could such a sharp arrow exist in this world?

A treasure like this should never belong to a mere guard.

In an instant, he began to doubt Qin Han’s true identity.

But Qin Han paid him no mind.

He simply continued firing arrows, one after another, into the wall.

The Godslayer Bow ignored all defenses, capable of piercing through almost anything in a single strike. He intended to use this ability to forcibly carve through the mineral wall.

One arrow!

Two arrows!

Three arrows!

Gradually, the wall was riddled with hollowed-out holes...

Meanwhile, in Beginner's Village 688, on the Wild Bull Grassland, the sun hung high, blazing like fire.

After two or three days of relentless slaughter, the Wild Bulls on the grassland had been completely wiped out.

Many low-level players now found themselves with no monsters left to hunt.

"Could it be that the monsters in this game don’t respawn after being killed?"

"Who knows? This game has no guides at all—everything’s just guesswork."

"I was planning to wait for the Wild Bulls to respawn and grind my way to level three by killing them. Now? Not a single bull in sight."
