Alex had previously used Witch Ore to attract the attention of the Witch Essence. Presently, a large mass of Witch Ore was shoved at the very bottom of the mine tunnel.
Bea had never seen Witch Essence before, but she knew what Witch Ore was. When she saw it, she immediately exclaimed, “That’s Witch Ore? That’s a huge piece! I‘ve never seen one that big and pure before! This place must have huge mine veins. Oh my god, this is too much! This world really has mysterious things.”
She reached out to dig into the Witch Ore when she finished speaking.
Alex grabbed her hand and said, “What are you going?”
“Digging, obviously! Hey, Rockefeller, even though you entered the mine first, the ore is for those who see it! Besides, it’s such a huge piece. Are you going to take it all for yourself?”
Alex rolled his eyes. “Are you nuts? This Witch Ore was mine in the first place.”
“I can’t believe you’re saying that! Yours? Are you seriously so shameless?”
“You’re an idiot. Have you ever seen such pure, natural Witch Ore? This is…”
Alex suddenly thought about how the Witch Essence had become refined and may hear their voices. Perhaps it even has very high intelligence. If he continued shouting with her, wouldn’t all his hard work go to waste?
At the thought, his face changed at once, and he flicked Bea’s forehead harshly. “Cut the crap. I said it’s mine, so it’s mine. If you continue causing a ruckus, I’ll knock you out and mingle our flesh and soul.”
“Ouch!” Bea weighed her options and finally gave up on the Witch Ore.
Empress Ghast and Alex were a team. She had no chance of winning with her alone against the two of them.
Empress Ghast was rolling her eyes at Alex. ‘Mingle their flesh and soul? Seriously? He said it bluntly. Did he have no shame?’
However, Bea had not seen Alex digging for Witch Ore, yet he pulled out another bigger piece.
‘What the hell? So the Witch Ore really was his? How did he get so many? Even I can’t get one like that!’
But she couldn’t understand why Alex pulled out two Witch Ore.
“Split up and search!”
Madame Rouge’s voice rang out, “What are you looking for?! Now that we’re in the mine, can we start digging, Old Li?”
Even though Alex and the two girls were hiding less than three meters away from them, Madame Rouge’s group didn’t notice them as the shielding force field was in place.
Several of the miners discussed among themselves and began finding the most suitable place to start digging. But then, the mine suddenly started trembling violently. It felt like the entire pit was about to collapse, and even the shaft began to crack, dropping boulders and rocks to the ground.
“Oh no! The mine is going to collapse!”
“Oh my god! Run!”
Madame Rouge ran the fastest, hitting and injuring her men along the way in her haste to escape. She practically flew out of the mine, her people following behind her. However, the mine tunnel didn’t collapse. Like an earthquake, the shaking stopped after a few seconds, and a pile of stones fell to the ground.
