Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1488 - 14: Two Hundred Years of Tomb Digging, Zhao Xing’s First Pot of Gold

"Killing the Vipers, everyone contributed about the same. Half of the 8.96, which is 4.48, is distributed equally, each person gets 1.12 billion."

"The remaining 4.48 billion is considered part of the opening phase, Yu Tianqing put in the most effort, broke the formation, opened the coffin, all handled by him. The dangers, traps were all cleared by him. He takes seventy percent, and each of us three gets ten percent."

"I've said my piece, who opposes and who agrees?" Zhao Xing asked.

"I have no objections." Le Yao and Cen Qionghua spoke.

Yu Tianqing said, "Zhao Xing, I've taken too much, the process of opening the tomb wasn't particularly dangerous for me."

"That's not how it's calculated." Zhao Xing said, "It's not dangerous for you because you have the ability."

"If it were us, we might encounter danger, or cause the treasure to self-destruct."

"This is what you deserve."

"We saved you before, now we're collaborating on an exploration, it's different."

Tian Qingzi nodded silently. He, a former Second Realm, also recognized Zhao Xing's right to divide the spoils.

The final distribution result was, Zhao Xing got 5.408 billion. Tian Qingzi got 4.256 billion, Le Yao and Cen Qionghua each got 1.568 billion.

Everyone was very satisfied, just two and a half years into the expedition, they struck their first pot of gold, and everyone earned over a billion. Importantly, there weren't any significant dangers in the process.

Under normal circumstances, it might take a hundred years in the First Realm to discover a single tomb, let alone a Second Realm tomb.

How could the harvest be so plentiful?

"Brother Yu, you don't have citizenship of the Ancient Country, so you can't earn meritorious points. If you trust us, we can sell your share. The three of us can help you find a way, set up an anonymous account, though you'll have to cover the handling fee yourself, maybe two or three million."

"Agreed." Yu Tianqing nodded. Members of the Purple God Mansion in the Ancient Country were willing to help find this way, which was a big help.

"Now that you have money, it should be just enough to barely restore your strength to the Second Realm."

"We're teammates and friends, if you have the strength and want to venture to places of higher level, you don't have to stay in our team out of gratitude. If you want to leave, just tell us anytime. We won't hinder a friend's development."

This was something Zhao Xing, Le Yao, and Cen Qionghua had discussed beforehand.

People like Yu Tianqing, even in the Second Realm, are considered geniuses. If he has funds to recover and wants to leave, let him go.

Binding people with the Heavenly Dao Oath and gratitude may not be a good thing. Forcefully retaining someone might turn a good bond into a bad one.

That's why Zhao Xing spoke very openly, giving this future king plenty of options.

"I'll remember that." Yu Tianqing looked at Zhao Xing and nodded seriously.

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhao, Brother Yu, don't be so serious." Cen Qionghua laughed, "Now that we've made big money, why talk about parting, right, Le Yao?"

"Yeah." Le Yao smiled, "Let's keep digging, maybe here in Nanluo 2413, we can dig up a second pot of gold, a third pot of gold."

The atmosphere quickly livened up again, even the usually unsmiling Yu Tianqing had a hint of a smile on his lips.

In his cosmic adventures, he had always felt the cruelty and scheming, it had been a long time since he felt such warmth from friends.

"Let's earn another billion, no, ten billion, then we'll go back and upgrade!" Cen Qionghua waved his fist.

"Go go go, open coffins for wealth! Keep killing the Vipers!" Le Yao's beautiful eyes radiated a fierce light, "Slaughter every Viper in the entire Nanluo 2413! Turn it upside down!"

"..."

...

Le Yao and the others were excited, but the Guardian Beasts, the Vipers, were in deep trouble.

Every day they were either on the run or on the path of fleeing.

Though they were not very intelligent, they could still communicate among their species.

After twenty-five years on Nanluo Star Land, the entire Star Land knew that there were four 'species nemeses' on the continent.

They killed Vipers on sight, and wouldn't stop until they achieved their goal.

Even if some companions dug into deep underground tunnels, they couldn't escape disaster.

Particularly the woman holding the Lying Sky Zither, and the man wielding the Boundary Faro, they killed the fiercest.

The skin of the Vipers was thick, nurtured by pure Yin origin, naturally born and bred, adept at underground escape, other attacks had little effect on them.

But Zhao Xing mastered the Geographical Advantage Skill, his self-created Source Technique "Mystic Soil Divine Concealment" was an Escape Skill, and "Treading the Stars" was also a Source Technique within the Treasure Mountain Skill, both reached the seventh level.

The Escape Skill's speed was fast, making tracking swift, and the Tower Star employed the Earth Splitting Technique, which affected the earth veins, greatly reducing the Vipers' escape speed.

It was simply the nemesis of Vipers.

Le Yao's soundwave attack was incredibly powerful, as long as Zhao Xing brought her to find a Viper, the two would quickly kill one together.

"Where are you running!" Le Yao plucked the Lying Sky Zither, her jade-like fingers emanating a captivating glow.

She seemed to be plucking the earth veins, and the surrounding earth veins rhythmically moved along with her.

The Viper, escaping 500 miles underground, was suddenly hit, squeezed, pierced by the earth veins... emitting painful wails.

"Woooo——"

After chasing for two days, this Viper died bitterly underground, utterly perishing.

"Phew~ Finally killed it." Le Yao stayed in the underground cave, looking at the Viper.

"These guys have all become smarter, I feel like they've evolved quite a bit."

"When we first got here, they were dumb, didn't even run when they saw people. Now when they see us, they just dig into the ground like mad." Le Yao puffed angrily.

Why won't they just let us kill them?

"It's just survival instinct forced out of them." Zhao Xing also sighed, "I feel like in a few decades, this Viper race might be forced by us to develop spiritual wisdom."
