Chapter 301 Innate Mining Holy Body
The Burning Sky City and the High Sky Tower.

This is a hundred-meter-high tower standing in the city.

There is a mysterious room built on the top of the tower.

Legend has it that there is a round table in that mysterious room, and many important decisions of the Burning Sky City were reached on this round table.

Therefore, many people call it a round table meeting.

There is no fixed time for the round table meeting, but every time a major event occurs, the five major power groups in the giant city and the City Lord's Mansion will tacitly start the round table meeting.

"Jiuchi City has sent a request for help. The fourth supreme elder, the seventh and ninth elders of their family have all died. In addition, more than 300 official members of the family have died. Jiuchi City has applied to us to send a garrison."

Representatives of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance made suggestions at the meeting.

When the representative of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance said this, the representative of the Elders' Council immediately looked at him with strange eyes.

If these words were said by someone from the Chi family, he could still understand it. After all, the Chi family of the Burning Sky City and the Chi family of the Nine Red City have a close relationship, which has long been no secret in the eyes of the top leaders.

Just like the Burning Heaven Temple in Yanxing City and the Burning Heaven Temple in Burning Heaven Giant City are as close as wearing the same pair of pants.

But when did the people from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance become so close to the Chi family?

The representative of the Giant City Guard sneered, "I think this matter needs to be discussed carefully. Previously, we proposed to station troops in Jiuchi City, but the Chi family opposed it. At that time, the Chi family said that they could maintain the stability of Jiuchi City. Why did they agree this time? When there is danger, they think of us, the Giant City Guard?"

The elders' representative glanced at the giant city guard representative.

There are no good people in the Giant City Guard. According to the division of power and responsibilities within the Giant City, the Giant City Guard only has the right to command the army, but does not have the right to pay military salaries.

It's like having guns but no money.

This is also a means of checks and balances.

After all, there are millions of active beast tamers in the Giant City Guard. If retired beast tamers are included, the number is an exaggerated one.

Such a powerful force is in the hands of a few of the top guards in the giant city, so other forces in the city are naturally worried.

But there are countermeasures for every policy, and this method is still very useful at the beginning.

But in recent years, someone in the Giant City Guards came up with a brilliant idea - collecting garrison fees!
The Giant City Guards were dispatched to garrison in other cities within the Fentian Territory, nominally claiming to provide them with local protection.

Since you provide protection, it is only natural to collect some protection fees!

Your brothers have provided you with protection, so as a younger brother you should be more sensible. If you are not, the millions of beastmasters in Burning Sky City will "reason" with you.

You know what, this trick really worked wonders.

Although there were many obstacles at the beginning of implementation, it happened that the city lord at that time came from the Giant City Guard. With his help, the Giant City Guard project was officially implemented.

And that city lord also gained great support from the giant city guards with his actions.

His voice was greatly enhanced during his tenure, allowing his family to continue to grow and become the third largest family in the Burning Sky City.

It also changed the original two major families in the Burning Sky City into three major families.

The move of the overseas garrison provided a large amount of funds to the Burning Sky City, and the problem of military expenditure was largely solved.

It also brought great relief to the finances within the huge city.

Of course, what is more important is that all the protection fees collected are directly handed over to the Giant City Guard, which is equivalent to the purse being back in the control of the very few people within the Giant City Guard!

He had military power and a purse.

The Giant City Guards' voice within the Burning Sky Giant City has also been greatly enhanced, and naturally their ambitions have risen. At one point, they even tried to exaggerate and force the City Lord's Mansion.

Later, other forces in the city joined forces with other city lords to disrupt the giant city guards.

As for the method, it is very simple. Just increase the number of military commanders of the Giant City Guard from three positions to ten positions!

Moreover, each person could not stay in office for more than one hundred years, nor could he be re-elected. The major forces in the Giant City also placed their own members within the Giant City Guard, promoted them to high positions, split the internal forces, and formulated a series of promotion and demotion measures.

Therefore, no matter what the background of the representative nominated by the Giant City Guard is, at least when he is in office, his position must be on the side of the Giant City Guard.

Otherwise, there would be a lot of people eyeing his position.

The representative nominated by the three major families this time is the Chi family. In order to get this representative position, the Chi family also paid a considerable price privately.

The Chi family representative said in a deep voice: "They really underestimated the enemy. This time there is the shadow of Xia Country behind them. How can Jiuchi City, a city, fight against a country?"

The representative of the Giant City Guard laughed and said, "Why haven't I heard about the end of Xia Country? There are only a few mercenary groups near Jiuchi City. How can a few mercenary groups make them so embarrassed?"

"Okay." The city lord sitting in the main seat rubbed his eyebrows. These major forces really did not make him feel at ease at all.

Although he was sitting in the position of city lord, he was happy to see the conflicts among the major forces below, as this made it easier for him to maneuver among them and gain more benefits for himself.

But he doesn't want to engage in internal fighting when facing a powerful enemy!
The mayor said, "As usual, let's decide by clapping the table. Those who agree can clap the table. If it's a tie, let's put it on hold and start the next meeting tomorrow."

Similar situations have occurred before. In some important decisions, the major forces in the city could not reach a consensus, resulting in a draw.

This day is designed to give the major forces free time to exchange interests privately.

In the past, we had to wait three days for the next meeting, but after an incident, the time was shortened to one day.

There were a total of six representatives on the field, including the City Lord's Mansion.

They respectively represent the interests of the City Lord's Mansion, the Council of Elders, the Giant City Guard, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the three major families, and the Burning Heaven Temple.

As the city lord finished speaking.

The representatives of the three major families were the first to slam the table.

Soon, the representative of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance also slammed the table.

Several people on the field looked at each other.

The representative of the Burning Heaven Temple, who had been silent, also slammed the table.

The eyes of others flickered, but they were not too surprised, because the current high priest of Burning Heaven Temple was from the Chi family.

The high priest is the second most important person in the temple. Nowadays, the Pope of the temple is not interested in managing affairs and is only focused on becoming a god. Many powers have been delegated, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the high priest is the person with the most power.

The game ended in a 3-3 tie.

The city lord's eyes flickered. Last time it was only four to two, but this time it became three to three. The influence of the Chi family is not small.

The city lord looked at the Chi family representative thoughtfully, thinking of the private transaction between the Chi family and him not long ago. And most importantly, the Chi family of Jiuchi City did suffer a great loss, and there were not many masters beyond the seventh level even in the Burning Sky Giant City.

If the Jiuchi City really collapses, it will not be a good thing for the Burning Sky City.

This will greatly affect the prestige of the huge city of Fentian. If it loses its prestige, how can it make other cities in Fentian territory continue to be obedient?

Now many of the cities below appear to be well-behaved on the surface, but in fact, if the Burning Sky City shows signs of decline, the most vicious ones may turn around and bite their master.

After pondering for a moment, he tapped the table lightly.

The pupils of the elders' council representative shrank. Is the Chi family's influence so great?!

The Council of Elders is a gathering place for independent cultivators in the big city, and representatives from some small families will also join in, so the interests of the Council of Elders are in conflict with those of the three major families.

The expansion of the Chi family's influence is not a good thing.

The representative of the Giant City Guard sneered, "It seems that you have already discussed it privately, and calling me here is just to inform you."

"Mu Zhi, the overall situation is more important." The city lord said in a deep voice, "Jiu Chi City cannot collapse, and this time Jiu Chi City is also willing to pay a high military expenditure."

Mu Zhi was silent for a moment. He was not born in Fentian Territory. He could reach his current position partly because of his talent and partly because he was a representative nominated by the civilian beastmasters in Fentian City.

His decisions often represent the demands of civilian beast tamers.

Since the other four forces at the meeting have reached a tacit understanding, his is no longer very important.

The fact that Jiuchi City was willing to pay a high military expenditure was a concession, giving him a reason to go back.

But Mu Zhi still didn't think that supporting Jiuchi City now was a good decision.

It would be good if I could subdue those mercenaries, but what if I can't?
This thought emerged in Mu Zhi's mind.

If even the Giant City Guards went there and still suffered a great loss, then it would be really troublesome.
If Jiuchi City cannot win, it can be said that the beastmasters of Jiuchi City are useless. But if even the Giant City Guards suffer a great loss, how can they explain it to the outside world?
The prestige of the Burning Sky City may fall to its lowest point in history.

I hope my guess won't come true.

Mu Zhi said secretly in his heart.

Meanwhile, Blue Star.

Many forces, including the Eagle Federation and the Polaris United States, have also noticed the recent movements in Daxia.

This behemoth is very sensitive as it frequently mobilizes its internal troops.

This made the surrounding countries nervous and they all secretly entered a state of alert.

Because no one knows who Daxia’s target is.

But soon, pieces of information reached their ears through various channels.

"Daxia is mobilizing troops from all over the country. The reserve forces have basically received the call-up order and are in a state of readiness for war."

"They are going to attack the Burning Sky City? Are they serious about it this time?"

"You are so brave. That is a huge city. Moreover, Burning Sky City is considered to be in the upper middle level among the ninety-nine huge cities."

"Should we take advantage of this opportunity?"

The major forces held frequent meetings internally, but in the end they reached a consensus - wait and see what happens.

No matter what, Da Xia is still a member of Blue Star.

Now that Daxia has launched a charge towards foreign lands, it would be fine if they did not support it, but if they were still secretly delaying at this time, they would be losing the greater good.

If Daxia is forced to go crazy, the consequences will be beyond their ability to bear.

In the mining area, with the efforts of a group of captured beastmasters, they were able to finally summon some tamed monsters from the lake.

Chen Xing also saw these mining "Palu".

This is a popular game on Blue Star recently. Players can control their characters to capture a monster called Palu. In the game, they can give various instructions to the monster, such as chopping trees, mining, and doing handicrafts. As a result, no one expected that this game unlocked the nature of many players. Many players suddenly realized that they also have the blood of capitalists in their bodies. When they were at work, they thought that Palu in the computer was still resting, and they felt very uncomfortable.

This monster in the lake is called the polynephritus.

He has long arms and an honest personality, his only shortcoming is that he is a little timid.

But apart from that, according to the captured animal trainers, these multi-kidney water ghost monkeys are simply natural mining saints.

They can live underwater, and because they are omnivorous monsters, they have strong digestive abilities and can survive by eating grass roots and leaves.

It has strong reproduction ability and is cheap, making it a cheap monster.

And the multi-kidney water ghost monkey can reach 27 energy levels after adulthood, which is not very high, but it can be used. And the name of their race comes from their characteristics. They are born with four kidneys, and they are monkey monsters. Their endurance is stronger than many monsters of other large tribes.

And the multi-kidney water ghost monkeys have another advantage, they are relatively smart. Because they are relatively smart, they know how to catch some small fish, shrimps and insects in the water to eat in their spare time at work. They know how to take care of their bodies, so they don't need the animal trainers who supervise them to worry about them. It is difficult to find such a good labor force among the miners who know how to take care of themselves.

Therefore, many underwater resource points in the Fire Lake like to use the Multi-Kidney Water Monkey.

After listening to this, Chen Xing inexplicably felt that the multi-kidney water ghost monkey was very suitable for mining.
Chen Xing asked: "Why don't you use high-level beastmasters to mine underwater?"

Although there are multi-kidney water ghost monkeys.

But they are low-level monsters after all. Wouldn't it be faster if high-level water-attributed beasts were used to mine them?

Hearing Chen Xing's question, the captured beastmaster hurried to explain.

"It's because there are dark fire caves at the bottom of the fire lake. These dark fire caves will spew out fire poison every once in a while. After ordinary beasts absorb fire poison, their bodies will be affected. Even if a powerful beast absorbs fire poison for a long time, it will affect its foundation. Anyway, these monkeys are cheap, and we won't feel bad even if they die. We might as well use these monkeys to mine."

After listening to it, Chen Xing roughly understood it.

Then let them continue to let the multi-kidney water ghost monkeys continue to mine the underwater veins.

At the same time, scouts were sent to the nearby area to gather intelligence. With such a big commotion happening here, it was impossible for Jiuchi City to be unaware of it.

Once they know about it, they will definitely not remain indifferent. No matter what the next step is, they must be prepared in advance.

A few days later, the scouts sent out brought back a message.

Gu Wu hurried over and reported to Chen Xing with a serious face: "We received a message that the Burning Sky Giant City publicly announced that it would station troops in Jiuchi City and dispatched 10,000 beastmasters."
