Chapter 1003: Ling Yao, Essence Spirit
One of the Six Extreme Lands of the Savage Boundary, Eternal Mine Original?
Carson Flores’s eyes widened. He had just run from one of the Extreme Lands, the Valley of Death, crossed through void space, escaped for half a day, and now he had ended up in another Extreme Land of Easty Prefecture?
"Is this place where we are now considered an Extreme Land?"
The bearded man shook his head. "The Eternal Mine Original covers a huge area. The part known as the Extreme Land is actually the central region of the Eternal Mine Original, but it has a special name, the Eternal Tombfield."
"Although it’s often said that the Eternal Mine Original is an Extreme Land, the reality is that a large area on the periphery is safe, and only the central area—the Eternal Tombfield—is extremely dangerous."
Carson asked, "Are we being sent to mine? Are we mining in the safe peripheral area, or in the dangerous central area?"
The man replied with a bitter smile, "I heard it’s the central area. Due to their physique and intelligence, humans are more suited for mining than the Demon Race, so they have always captured and enslaved Human Cultivators to mine for them. I’ve heard that in the past two years, the mining rate by the Demon Race has increased substantially, hence their need for a large number of workers."
"There are hardly any humans left in Easty Prefecture, so they go to the highly chaotic Central Divine Continent to capture Cultivators. Even there, some human bandits rob others and then sell the captured Cultivators to the Demon Race..."
Carson, surprised, inquired, "Isn’t Central Divine Continent a territory of the Human Race, and isn’t it the most prosperous?"
