Chapter 488 Protection fee?

The Tiger God put the ore into his space equipment and sorted out his disappointment.

This is already considered a very high-paying job in the Rosso Divine City. The lifespan of god-level strongmen is too long, resulting in their labor not being very valuable.

Tiger God had seen the labor cost of making artifacts in Rosso City before, and was so introverted that he didn't even bother to try.

Having consumed a lot of divine power, the Tiger God directly absorbed the original power in the mine to recover. This is a good place for cultivation and can also be regarded as a benefit for miners.

After recovering his divine power, the Tiger God continued to dig ore. While digging ore, the Tiger God was also thinking.

The magical skills in the two divine-level techniques were verified one by one in his mind, and the Tiger God kept trying to see how he could improve his mining efficiency.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Tiger God's introductory knowledge of the laws of light and darkness also allowed him to gradually gain a deeper understanding through his attempts.

For the Tiger God, mining to earn Origin Crystals is not the goal; improving strength is the most important thing.

Otherwise, even if he earned the money to buy the skills, his own practice could not keep up and they would be idle.

Tiger God's mining work lasted for a full month. During this month, Tiger God dug ore equivalent to 20,000 Origin Crystals.

The Tiger God's magical skills have also been greatly improved. Although he has not fought with others yet, his mining efficiency has increased three times compared to when he just entered the mine.

The Tiger God could only be thankful that he had not fought against opponents of the same level when he first arrived in the God Realm, otherwise, his strength would have been crushed.

The enhancement of divine power has been left idle. What the Tiger God lacks now is not divine power, but means of attack.

The Tiger God sorted out the space equipment and placed the ores of the Crystal of Origin inside. The third-level artifact pickaxe already had a lot of cracks and needed to be repaired before it could be used.

This is also the reason why the Tiger God stopped mining and walked towards the top of the mine.

Along the way, Tiger God also met several miners, who immediately retreated vigilantly after seeing Tiger God.

Tiger God was not surprised. On the surface, the Sam family prohibited fighting and stealing ore in the mine, but they also did not send people down the mine.

If he was killed and his body was disposed of, the Sam family would not be able to hold him accountable.

The Tiger God returned to the ground, handed over the ore to the Sam family, and successfully received 1,800 Origin Crystals.

That’s right, two hundred Origin Crystals were withheld by the Sam family. They said that the Origin Power in the ore was too mottled compared to the Origin Crystals, and required an expert to make it.

Tiger God didn't care. He guessed that it was someone from Sam's family who was secretly making money, and he couldn't afford to offend them now.

After putting the Origin Crystal back to his residence, the Tiger God changed his pickaxe and entered the mine again.

As a result, as soon as we went deeper, we encountered several other third-level god-level miners.

The leader was a tall and thin man with very sharp eyes.

After seeing the Tiger God, the tall and thin man slapped the Tiger God with his palm.

"We need to take action? Shouldn't we do it after we have mined all the ore?"

The Tiger God's mind was as fast as lightning, but his movements were not slow at all. Dozens of phantoms emerged from his body and pounced towards the tall and thin man.

The tall and thin man hurriedly stopped and extinguished the phantoms one by one.

The Tiger God also reacted by now and realized that it should be just a test for him, otherwise several people would have rushed over.

The tall and thin man looked at the Tiger God for a few seconds and threw a piece of space equipment to the Tiger God.

The Tiger God took it and looked at it, and found that there were nearly 100,000 pieces of Origin Crystal ore inside.

"What does it mean?"

The Tiger God asked in confusion, he actually gave him money?

This amount of Origin Crystal Ores is enough for me to obtain nearly ten thousand Origin Crystals, and I will give them to myself.

The tall and thin man smiled and said, "My name is Barro. These ores are the protection fees paid by the miners above. Every third-level god has them. You just came here before, so you don't know the rules."

Tiger God was slightly stunned. The miners actually acted like gangsters. However, he had never encountered any experts robbing other miners' ores before.

It seems that they paid protection fees to Barlow and others to ensure peace. Although this would result in the loss of some Origin Crystals, safety was also largely guaranteed.

With the endorsement of Barlow and others, the miners dared not compete with each other.

Tiger God took the space equipment without hesitation. He was short of money at that time, and Barlow and the others were like a timely help to him.

Barlow smiled, not too surprised.

If it wasn't for earning the Origin Crystal, which Level 3 God would enter the mine and work so hard to mine?

"If you need me anywhere, just let me know."

Since the Tiger God has taken the money, he naturally has to work hard. Not only are there fights between miners in the veins, but there are also frequent god-level creatures attracted by the original power. The miners have to deal with these god-level creatures themselves.

Only when the miners are unable to handle the situation or even the mine is in danger will the Sam family send people to resolve the problem.

Barlow nodded, and without saying much to the Tiger God, he just introduced the remaining third-level gods.

The Tiger God also discovered from the previous fight that the other third-level gods were not as powerful as he had previously imagined. Even if Barro was stronger than himself, his strength was only limited.

The Tiger God soon discovered the reason, it was because the bloodline that the Tiger God awakened was probably a powerful god-level bloodline, which increased the power of the Tiger God in exerting the laws of the divine world.

In the lower realm, it did not show any exaggerated situation, but when it arrived in the divine realm, the blood of the Tiger God was extremely compatible with the laws of the divine realm, and it showed extraordinary power.

After getting to know the other third-level gods, the Tiger God did not make close friends with them. Anyway, he was not planning to stay in Rosso God City for too long.

Returning to the mine where he had previously mined the Crystal of Origin, the Tiger God began mining again.

Even a small piece of meat is still meat. Besides, the Tiger God is also constantly honing his understanding of the laws of the divine world in the process of mining ore.

Another three months passed, and during these three months, Barlow and his companions brought the Tiger God more ore offered by the miners, and they became much richer.

With the Crystal of Origin already, the Tiger God certainly couldn't keep it, so he went directly to the Rosso Divine City and bought the second and third levels of the Black Sky Divine Spell and the Phantom Light Divine Spell and exchanged them.

However, in order to master the laws of the divine world as quickly as possible, the Tiger God only took a cursory look and had not yet started.

Over the past three months, the Tiger God's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. He has become very proficient in using the two divine laws, and it won't take long for him to fully master them.

The speed at which the Tiger God dug ore was ten times faster than when he had just entered the mine.

Such a huge improvement also made the Tiger God very satisfied. No wonder many god-level creatures wanted to survive in the mine forever.

One day, the Tiger God heard Baro's cries from afar.

Because mines are excellent places for cultivation, miners sometimes practice directly in mines.

So Barlow just shouted outside the mine and did not go directly into the mine.

The Tiger God's eyes narrowed. Barlow came in person, so something must have happened in the mine.

When we walked out of the mine, we found that the third-level gods among the miners recruited by the Sam family had already arrived.

Including Tiger God and Baro, there are a total of six third-level gods.

"What happened?"

Barlow's face looked a little grim. "This time, the miners up there dug out a mine leading to the depths, and found several stone-skinned beasts."

“Those stone-skinned beasts were not very powerful, so they dealt with them on their own. Unexpectedly, there were still two sleeping third-level divine stone-skinned beasts in the mine, which injured quite a few people.”

The Stoneskin Beast is a god-level creature that likes to stay in mineral veins. It feeds on stones near the Origin Crystal and has extremely strong defense.

In the past three months, the Tiger God had encountered it once before, but it was just a level two divine stone-skin beast, which took the Tiger God a lot of effort to deal with.

Two level three divine stone-skinned beasts, let alone the other six level three gods present, would probably find it difficult to break through their defenses.

The Tiger God knew that this opponent was no simple task, which was why he asked Barlow to gather all the third-level gods.

"How do we solve this now?"

Barlow took out a few pieces of god-level stone, "These are the bodies left behind by the descendants of the two stone-skinned beasts, left behind by the miners up there."

"Use these materials as bait to set a trap, trap the two stone-skinned beasts, and then slowly kill them."

The Tiger God nodded. Barlow's plan was not bad. The advantage of the stone-skinned beasts was that they had extremely high defense and could move freely in the mines. If they could be trapped and slowly dealt with, then the stone-skinned beasts would not be difficult to deal with.

"What do you need me to do?"

Barlow hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Brother Richard, you are the fastest among us, so I want you to lure out the two stone-skinned beasts."

I knew that the previous ore was not so easy to get, but I was actually used as bait.

But what he said was right. The speed of the Tiger God was indeed the fastest among the six third-level gods. Even the strongest Barlow could not compare with the Tiger God.

The Tiger God thought for a moment and agreed.

"Okay, but I'll have to wait a few more days."

The Tiger God is just one step away from completely mastering the two laws of the divine world. Since he is going to be used as bait, he will naturally be more confident after he has mastered these two laws.

"Okay, let's protect the miners up there for the next few days."

Barro agreed, and the other four third-level gods had no objections. They just delayed mining for a few days. They did not earn the Origin Crystal by mining themselves. Basically, they only earned the ore offered by other miners and practiced in the mines.

After obtaining their consent, the Tiger God returned to his mine and continued to comprehend the laws of the divine world in the two books of divine laws.

Five days later, the Tiger God opened his eyes, one eye turned pure black, and the other eye shone brightly.

"It is worthy of being the law of the divine world. Just mastering two of them has allowed me to see a different world."

Only then did the Tiger God realize why so many powerful god-level warriors would choose to alienate regardless of their own lives.

Indeed, the secrets of the laws of the divine world are right before our eyes. One step forward will lead you to the path of ascension to heaven.

However, the Tiger God knew that only a very small number of people could ascend to heaven, and most of the god-level powerful people lost themselves on the way to heaven.

He still relied on his own willpower and gave up the idea of ​​being alienated by the laws of the divine world.

"Now it's time to deal with the two level three divine stone hide beasts."

The Tiger God sent a message to Barro, and soon received a reply from Barro, telling the Tiger God the location of the two stone-skinned beasts.

The Tiger God rushed in the direction given by Barlow.

When he got there, he discovered that there were two more third-level gods in the mine.

"Who are these two?"

The Tiger God asked Barlow, who explained expressionlessly, "These two are the new miners hired by the Sam family, Quinton and David. Since we are going to deal with two stone-skinned beasts, let them join us."

The Tiger God immediately understood that Barlow certainly didn't want these two third-level gods to have a share of the spoils.

It's not just the Origin Crystal Ore that may appear in the Stoneskin Beast's lair, but also the protection fees offered by other miners.

And Barlow just mentioned the Sam family specifically. Could it be that these two miners were hired by the Sam family? With the wealth of the Sam family, they should not be working as miners, right?

The Tiger God was completely confused. The two new third-level gods looked very similar. They were actually twins.

"Barro, since the person you mentioned has arrived, let's get started!"

The elder brother's name is Quinton. The Tiger God feels that there is something wrong with his eyes, which are full of greed.

David agreed, "Indeed, the two of us joining in before were more than enough to deal with the two stone-skinned beasts. But Baro, you said you wanted to wait for someone. Now that they are here, let's get started!"

Barlow looked at the Tiger God, and the Tiger God nodded. Although he didn't know what the situation was with the two brothers, the stone-skin beast must be dealt with.

Taking the blood-stained god-level stone from Barlow, the Tiger God knew that this was the material produced from the stone-skinned beasts before.

It is difficult for god-level strongmen to reproduce, and the same goes for god-level creatures like the Stone-skin Beast, which will inevitably become furious because of the materials in their hands.

The tiger god spread its black and white wings behind it and flew into the mine.

Barlow and others who stayed outside began to set up a magic circle to trap the two stone-skinned beasts.

When the Tiger God entered the mine, he felt that the original power was much higher than outside, even higher than the mine where the Tiger God had mined before.

No wonder these two level three divine stone-skin beasts would stay in such a place. It seems that this is a rich mine.

The Tiger God looked around cautiously, radiating his spiritual power, sensing the situation ahead. At the same time, he urged his divine power to dissipate as much of the bloody smell on the materials in his hands as possible.

"Roar! Roar!"

The god-level creatures had a very sharp sense of smell and they instantly detected the smell of blood. The two stone-skinned beasts were shaped like pangolins, and their mineral scales carried a lot of origin crystals.

The two Level 3 Divine Stone-skin Beasts became instantly furious when they discovered that the Tiger God was holding the body parts of their child.

"Shh!"

Two gray beams shot towards the Tiger God. The Tiger God did not dare to be careless at all. He flapped his black and white wings and dodged the gray beams.

This is the petrification spell of the stone-skinned beast. Even the tiger god will be petrified if it is hit.

Seeing that he had attracted two level three stone-skin beasts, the Tiger God took the god-level stone and flew out of the mine.
