Something’s Wrong with This Game — I Became a God by Mining!

Yang Ling, Mian Zhengdong, and the others were completely stunned.

That creature was even larger than the Frost Force Bear, like a small house.

"Is this a sea lion? A sea lion this big?!"

Yang Ling’s scalp tingled, a string of question marks flashing through his mind.

Without a doubt, this massive sea lion, whose tusks alone were one or two meters long, was definitely a boss over level two hundred!

Its attributes had to be even more formidable than the Frost Force Bear’s.

"Upper Sixth-Rank? Fifth-Rank?"

As he pondered this, Yang Ling suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He turned his head and saw a massive, snow-white lizard charging toward them at lightning speed.

At the same time, the giant sea lion also charged at them, its momentum overwhelming!

"We’re doomed!"

Mian Zhengdong muttered under his breath, a glimmer of despair flashing in his eyes.

In that split second, Yang Ling made a move!

He darted into the mine shaft with lightning-fast agility.

Based on his judgment, both the giant lizard and the giant sea lion were at least four or five times larger than the mine shaft’s entrance!

There was absolutely no way they could squeeze in anytime soon.

Mian Zhengdong and the others quickly caught on and followed him into the shaft.

The last one practically stumbled and crawled his way in.

By the time he made it inside, the giant lizard had arrived ahead of schedule and slammed into the entrance.

Its head was far too big for the opening; it simply couldn’t get in.

Yang Ling looked back and saw a cold, emotionless eyeball staring at him!

Just then, the giant sea lion seemed to have arrived as well, and the giant lizard immediately rose to face it, the ground trembling violently from their clash.

Yang Ling exhaled a puff of white breath. It was actually even colder inside here than outside.

"Chief Constable Yang, it looks like we’re trapped for a while."

Mian Zhengdong forced a bitter smile.

"Good thing this mine shaft was here, or we’d definitely have died at the hands of those two mutant beasts."

A Seventh-Rank member of the Mining Guild said, feeling relieved.

"What if they stick around longer than our permitted time here?"

Yang Ling suddenly spoke.

As soon as he said this, Mian Zhengdong and the others fell into deep thought, their hearts pounding with unease.

If that really happened, their old lives would be forfeited right here.

"We need to find a way out. Does this mine shaft have any other exits?"

Yang Ling asked.

Mian Zhengdong shook his head gently. "We’ve already checked. This shaft isn’t deep. Even though there are a few branches, they’re only a few dozen meters long, and all of them are dead ends. There’s no other exit."

Yang Ling said, "If there’s no other exit, we’ll just dig one."

"Dig one? That’s nearly impossible. It’s freezing down here all year round. Feel this dirt—it’s frozen as hard as Vermilion Gold."

Mian Zhengdong touched the wall of the mine shaft, his expression bitter.

"Then we’ll wait for them to leave. Once they’re gone, we can make our escape."

Yang Ling said.

Everyone agreed that this was the only option.

So they waited patiently.

About an hour or so passed.

The noise outside gradually faded.

"It seems like it’s quiet now?"

Someone whispered.

But no sooner had the words left his mouth than the giant lizard appeared again, starting to claw at the entrance.

The frozen earth, hard as Vermilion Gold, seemed fragile under its sharp claws.

In just a short time, the entrance seemed to have been widened a bit!

Yang Ling also noticed that its claws were stained with a fair amount of blood, probably from the sea lion.

"It looks like the sea lion lost. The lizard won…"

Mian Zhengdong and the others turned pale.

"We can’t just sit here and wait to die. Dig! Dig ourselves a way out!"

Without another word, Yang Ling gripped the Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe and headed deeper into the shaft!

The Seventh-Rank Mining Guild members all looked at Mian Zhengdong.

Mian Zhengdong’s face turned grim. "Dig!"

Since this mine shaft had several branches, they decided to assign a few people to dig in each one.

Whichever team managed to break through to a tunnel or connect to a possible underground cavern would send word immediately.

The branch Yang Ling chose was very narrow, only enough for one or two people.

Just as Mian Zhengdong was wondering how to start, Yang Ling had already begun swinging the Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe.

Frenzied State activated!

Vajra Bright King Technique, Ethereal Steps!

Yang Ling’s body seemed to quiver slightly left and right as the Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe in his hands became a blur of motion, furiously slamming into the frozen earth before him.

His speed was far faster than it had been back at the Vermilion Gold Mine in Green Mountain City!

The hard, frozen earth kept getting chipped away by the pickaxe.

Before Mian Zhengdong could even blink, a pile of dirt had already formed at Yang Ling’s feet.

"Senior Mian, haul the dirt out, and give me your pickaxe."

Yang Ling instructed.

Mian Zhengdong, almost as if under a spell, handed over his own Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe and started helping to move the dirt out.

By the time he came back, another pile of dirt had accumulated at Yang Ling’s feet.

All he could do was go back and forth, hauling dirt, trip after trip.

Time ticked by.

The giant lizard was still digging away, trying to get inside.

The Seventh-Rank Mining Guild members, however, had all gathered behind Mian Zhengdong, watching as Yang Ling worked both pickaxes simultaneously, his hands already forming a blur of motion!

"Isn’t he tired?"

After who knows how long, one of them couldn’t help but ask.

No one could answer him.

Suddenly, Yang Ling stopped moving.

Everyone’s spirits lifted. It looked like he was finally getting tired.

They estimated he had been digging non-stop for at least the time it took to burn a stick of incense!

"Chief Constable Yang, if you’re tired, take a rest. Let this old man take over."

Mian Zhengdong walked over.

But Yang Ling simply tossed aside the glowing-hot Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe.

"The pickaxes are getting too hot. They need to cool down for a bit. Bring me two more."

"…"

Mian Zhengdong was taken aback. He turned and grabbed two more pickaxes to hand to Yang Ling.

Yang Ling immediately threw himself back into the work, focusing entirely on digging into the frozen earth.

As the dirt was hauled out, trip after trip, the Seventh-Rank Mining Guild members suddenly noticed that in less than an hour, Yang Ling had already dug four or five meters deep!

"This guy… he really is a mining prodigy!?"

They exchanged glances, each seeing the shock deep in the other’s eyes.

"I’ve been in the Mining Guild for years and have seen plenty of prodigies, but once they touch martial arts, they get completely addicted and would never actually go mining themselves…"

"Chief Constable Yang’s technique is so skilled, and his stamina is astonishing. This is clearly the result of years of practice!"

Mian Zhengdong sighed with emotion. "Even my own technique right now can’t compare to Chief Constable Yang’s."

"Elder Mian, I think we’re saved. I just checked on that lizard’s progress. It’s slower than our Chief Constable Yang!"

"By the time it digs its way in, we should have already found a way out!"

A Seventh-Rank Mining Guild member rushed over, his face beaming.

Everyone’s eyes turned to that busy back, filled with amazement.

Time continued to slip away.

Suddenly, Yang Ling felt something different. The pickaxe seemed to have hit something even harder.

He looked closely and saw a pale gray ore with a hint of crystal clarity.

There even seemed to be a faint pattern of scales on it.

"Senior Mian, is this Kylin Iron?"

Yang Ling called over his shoulder.

Kylin Iron? Upon hearing this, everyone scrambled to crowd around.

Mian Zhengdong kicked a few juniors out of the way, quickly approached to examine it carefully, and then said excitedly:

"Kylin Iron! It really is Kylin Iron!"
