    Ding!

    Ding!

    Empty underground caverns.

    Yuan Bao, under Xu Jingnian’s command, climbed to a height of several dozen meters, located in the part of the Black Crystal Monarch’s chest.

    Dig in twice.

    “A?”

    Genpou stopped for a moment to inquire.

    “That’s right, it’s in this location, and from what I’ve seen, this is where the beasts’ cores are usually found.”

    Xu Jingnian explained.

    When Yuan Bao nodded, he raised his claws and continued to dig one after another, digging a claw mark into the surface of the black crystal.

    At this point.

    On the rocky ground below, a hole in the ground tens of meters deep had also been dug in advance.

    Whenever there is an accident, you can simply escape close by.

    And, on Genpou’s head, there was a black hood, lending itself to be tied tightly by the lanyard of the backpack.

    It’s none other than the Hidden Hood.

    After discovering the Black Crystal Monarch and confirming that there was no problem, Xu Jingnian had Yuan Bao dig the hole in the ground.

    And in a hole in the ground.

    Completing a swap with the red rope of time and space, he loaded ten rock crystals for Genpou and put the hood on him as well.

    This equipment, favored beasts can also take effect!

    It feels like maybe the Excellence class comes with its own aura though?

    It was easier for Xu Jingnian to spot Yuanbao anyway, but of course, it was also the body that would be overlooked at the turn of a blind eye.

    Just know that on the side ……

    But it was okay, this way, the probability of Yuan Bao encountering danger underground was definitely greatly reduced.

    So.

    Yuan Bao then climbed on the chest of the Black Crystal Monarch and began to diligently work on the high altitude excavation.

    Right now, with this major discovery, surely we won’t be exploring anywhere else for a while.

    Xu Jingnian thought.

    If Yuan Bao really got lucky and dug up a Lord Realm Crystal Core, then he would make a huge profit.

    Maybe, straight away, the bonfire can be upgraded!

    “Dig, this black crystal is hard as hell, I don’t know how long it will take to dig through ……”

    Yuan Bao could only dig out a claw mark with one claw, which could be considered very slow progress.

    However, it had Xu Jingnian to help it rest, which was basically the same as unlimited stamina, and every swing of its claws was an all-out strike!

    It wasn’t particularly slow.

    At least it’s still a lot faster than Fool’s Gold, and there’s a good chance it’ll be dug in within five days.

    ……

    Time passes quickly.

    In a flash, it was the last day of the third week of Advent!

    When the day is over, the leaderboards will be settled again, and you’ll be able to open treasure chests again!

    Moreover, the Lord Realm Abyssal Battle Armor that Xu Jingnian had been waiting for would also descend upon their respective homelands of the three-man group.

    But before that.

    Xu Jingnian needs to take back the top spot on the leaderboard first ……

    Giving the others nearly a week to catch up, they didn’t disappoint and managed to take the number one spot.

    [Abyssal Group Battle Rankings]

    [First Place: Penguin Horse, King’s Victory, Blackened Man (17,900 points)]

    [Second place: Russian Prince, AAA Building Materials, Good Sister (11,300 points)]

    [Third Place: Ore Vendor, Super Little Cloud, Terminator (10,500 points)]

    On the side of the group group battle, the ones who surpassed them, besides their old acquaintance, the Red Inferno Blood Dragon’s Imperial Beastmaster.

    The ones who topped the first place were instead those few combinations of Imperial Beastmasters who had contracted low-grade favored beasts.

    It was probably because their favored beasts were able to stand out so much because of their perverse abilities despite their lower levels.

    And the single-player duel side.

    The leaderboards aren’t even much to look at, as Xu Jingnian’s ranking is a bit too low.

    [Solo Duel Leaderboard]

    [Seventh place: Ore Vendor (10,500 points)]

    Time is short and the task is heavy.

    It was a good thing that Xu Jingnian had also just started at zero hour and was ready to hit the charts and get back to the number one spot.

    There are twenty-four hours left on the clock.

    Perfectly adequate.

    Yuan Bao was already on his way home, and the Black Crystal Monarch that was underground had a ten meter tunnel dug out of its chest.

    Too bad we didn’t find the crystals.

    It still has to go back and keep digging when it’s done with the Abyssal Arena ……

    Xu Jingnian walked out of the Ore House and casually picked up a sugar cane from the ground to eat.

    “Yeap, don’t work all the time, remember to eat!”

    Enjoying the sweetness of the sugar cane, he turned his head back over to the planting area and called out to the equally industrious second cub.

    After a few days.

    In the planting area, dozens of sugarcane seeds, previously planted, have also grown to maturity!

    Underneath are somewhat thicker sugar cane stalks, and above them are bright green branches and leaves, just like the forest.

    What Xu Jingnian was eating at this moment was precisely the sugar cane that came out of the leaves.

    Although not evolving into a transcendental plant.

    But the flavor is excellent!

    Sweet and juicy, only the outer skin became harder, and thankfully his teeth were getting better as his favored beasts improved!

    “Boing-ooh!”

    Hearing his master’s call, Leaf also waved a big fluffy tail and bounced over.

    “Here!”

    Xu Jingnian picked up a piece of sugarcane and smoothly handed it to Ye Zi, who was begging for food.

    Its daily food now is sugar cane that it grows itself.

    As it works, it releases skills to cultivate plants, which requires a lot of energy to be digested.

    So more than the digging work of the Yuanbao, the leaves have to consume a lot more and have to replenish a lot of nutrients!

    But it can’t eat crystals, it can only eat ordinary sugar cane, so it has a better appetite ……

    Every day, except for planting work, it’s if not on the way to a dry meal, it’s on the way to a dry meal!

    And as a result, even without the ability to absorb crystals that contained a large amount of attribute energy, it still improved much faster than normal.

    Xu Jingnian opened the favored beast panel:

    [Favored Beast: Cuichunhua Beast]

    [Real name: Yeh]

    [Attribute: Grass]

    [Rank: Cub IV (4%)↑]

    [Skills: Euphoria, Emerald Spring Tree, Recovery]

    [Specialty: Planting]

    “Not bad, this is much faster growth than when Yuan Bao didn’t awaken his copper teeth and iron stomach!”

    Xu Jingnian was satisfied.

    Leaf tore the skin off the cane and bit into it with an ow, then sucked in the sweet cane juice.

    Tsk!

    Furry ears twitched at once.

    Its eyes are narrowed!

    It seems to possess a little bit of foodie attributes as well, though not as outrageous as the Genpou.

    The leafy ones are sugar cane yummy, just love them!

    And the dollar bill, on the other hand, belongs to Yes:

    The fire crystal is tasty, and the rock crystal is tasty! And the rock is tasteless, it barely eats it;

    When the offal does not love to eat, it is disgusted to eat; encountered not seen, but also what is something, taste first ……

    Xu Jingnian was just thinking.

    It’s not bad for Yuan Bao, who just happens to have awakened a passive skill of Bronze Teeth and Iron Stomach, which is just too suitable for foodies!

    Two people eating sugar cane.

    Yuan Bao had also returned, and it had been eating rock crystals for the past few days, underground as well!

    Mouth is numb ……

    It’s not mining again, and the inventory is almost eaten up.

    Good thing it was all worth it.

    Xu Jingnian opened Yuan Bao’s favored beast panel again:

    [Favored Beast: Blazing Iron Beast]

    [Real name: Yuanbao]

    [Attributes: Gold, Fire]

    [Grade: Excellent Nine (37%)]

    [Skills: Flame Pouring, Blazing Strike, Iron Ball Defense, Bronze Teeth and Iron Stomach, Energy Storage]

    [Specialty: Digging]

    Now, Yuan Bao had come to the last rank of Excellence, just a stone’s throw away from being promoted to Lord.

    And the racial ceiling of the Blazing Ironclad Beast was the Lord class!

    Therefore no conditions are required for it to be promoted straight away!
