Isaac was originally just an ordinary gang leader of a wilderness gang, with no backing behind him.
Even though he had already become a Bone Forging Realm expert, Isaac still dared to take action against him, even at the expense of using so many Energy Crystal Stones. The only reason for such action was that there was something he wanted from him, something that required his death.
During his time at Red Moon Mountain, Lin Qi already knew that the White Feather Gang had definitely taken some things from underground at Red Moon Mountain. However, he thought that no matter how important they were, they couldn't be more important than a Small Energy Ore Vein.
But now, upon closer inspection, he understood everything.
The real treasure beneath Red Moon Mountain was not a Small Energy Ore Vein, not even worth mentioning compared to it.
One could tell just from Isaac's transaction with the Red Moon Commerce that it was undoubtedly an unimaginably huge fortune.
If Isaac had hidden those things well, there would have been no need to kill him. He could have easily fled somewhere else to develop. The reason he hadn't done so was simply because he couldn't.
And just as players occupied the White Feather Gang's base, Isaac had him assassinated, making the answer obvious.
Isaac's hidden items were right at the White Feather Gang's base.
For those things Isaac hid, he wouldn't dare let others know. After all, what Isaac sold to the Red Moon Commerce was already of immense value. If others found out about the things Isaac had hidden, even as the Deputy City Lord of Chasing Light City, he might not be able to protect them, and might even lose his life.
So Lin Qi had no intention of telling anyone and figured it best to go alone.
The White Feather Gang's base.
With Lin Qi's arrival, the players mining Energy Ore at the White Feather Gang's base weren't surprised at all. It was as if it was normal for Lin Qi to appear at the mine veins of Red Moon Mountain, just following the script to oversee and increase his presence. They continued quietly mining, afraid others would dig more Energy Ore than they did.
The most nervous among them was One Leaf Floating Cloud.
"The Hall Master comes here; could he be planning to calculate how much ore we've stolen?" One Leaf Floating Cloud looked nervously at Lin Qi wandering in the cave.
They were not yet Core Disciples and didn't have the authority to establish a base here at the White Feather Gang, yet they sent people to conduct large-scale mining, exploiting a system loophole to avoid giving 50% of the Energy Ore to the Martial Arts Hall.
"It's not out of the question. It's likely the creators discovered this loophole, which is why the Hall Master is here in person to check the situation. Maybe they'll confiscate it later, like what happened with the Secret Silver Ore I discovered before," Fang Zhen suggested as he cautiously watched Lin Qi. "I suggest we call more people over and offer higher shares, so we can dig more while we still can. If it's confiscated, we won't have anything to mine."
"Okay, I'll go back now and call more people over," One Leaf Floating Cloud nodded and quickly took action.
After Lin Qi had checked the entire cave, he initially thought he had guessed wrong.
Until a player digging within the cave suddenly shouted, his terrified scream echoing throughout the cave, Lin Qi rushed over immediately.
Inside the cave, on a broken rock wall, lay a player frothing at the mouth. Within the rock wall was a small space, holding a human-sized transparent container.
At that moment, a crack appeared on the transparent container, and just the presence of this crack emitted a psychic wave and Qi and Blood that directly struck the player dead.
Lin Qi, coming within fifty meters of the container, strangely felt an unprecedented sense of fear.
"What is this?"
Lin Qi was stunned as he looked at the piece of a humanoid arm within the transparent container.
Even though the arm was shriveled, with cells long dead, a pure dead object, he felt a suppression of life form level, unable to fathom what kind of life it was.
Even if a High-level Lord stood before him, he wouldn't be afraid. Yet now, he felt terrified of a mere arm, utterly unbelievable.
