Zong Shen pondered for a moment, and quickly made a decision.
The mine ruins are quite extensive, classified as super-large relics.
Previously, he had acquired a map tattoo marking several rebel bases from the past.
Besides the mine, there is another near the ruins of the original Azshara.
Thereâs also a rune key to unlock the secret rebel base.
So, the exploration of the mine is far from over.
Itâs just that the timing isnât right yet; he isnât ready to delve into the mine.
Every matter has a process of prioritizing importance.
Upon hearing Zong Shenâs order, Hoy responded obediently.
"I understand, Lord. I will inform Dutra immediately."
"Weâll start returning to the territory now too."
Zong Shen nodded and said.
"Alright, wait for me when you get back to the territory."
"I have a task for you to handle."
"Yes, Lord!"
"Farewell then!"
Hoy naturally had no objections, and Zong Shen promptly hung up the crystal.
He continued to gaze at the pile of gemstones, aside from Hoy using the [Hiking Merchantâs Badge].
The goblin airship can also be used for transport.
Though it isnât fast, its capacity is indeed quite substantial.
After all, the pod can accommodate dozens, using it to load gemstones will fit most in one go.
Additionally, the interior of the Griffinâs Nest is spacious enough to allow the goblin airship to land and take off.
He can place the airship directly next to the gemstone mine.
By utilizing the storage grid for bulk receiving, a few trips would suffice to fill it up.
This ideaâs feasibility is quite high.
With the goblin airshipâs capacity, about three loads will be enough to transport all these gemstones back.
Without further ado, Zong Shen took out the goblin airship.
And started swiftly storing through the storage grid.
He stored gemstones of the same tier, grade, and category into the storage grid.
In one trip, several tens of thousands of gemstones could be gathered.
Then he walked back into the pod to retrieve everything at once, stacking them in the corner.
While storing, he deliberately skipped the wind gemstones, trying to leave them in the Griffinâs Nest.
After going back and forth three to four times, Zong Shen mostly filled the pod.
Leaving only a path to the cockpit.
Finally, he nearly filled his storage grid, reserving three to five slots as backup.
The original gemstone pile reduced by over 40%.
The remaining portion will be dealt with when Hoy arrives for the next trip.
Zong Shenâs actions of collecting gemstones caught Eagleâs attention.
Seeing the noticeably dwindled gemstone pile, it felt a pang of heartache.
Though it was still acceptable.
If it were the Giant Dragon, it might have erupted already.
Taking its treasure in front of a Giant Dragon is like taking half its life.
loyalty points wouldnât be enough to cover the rage.
Fortunately, it was a Griffin and not a Giant Dragon, otherwise, this wouldnât be possible.
Anyway, Zong Shen had already set his mind; any treasure he eyes is his.
Be it Griffin or Giant Dragon, what needs to be done, must be done.
With the gemstone pile settled, he turned his curious gaze towards the Griffinâs Nest.
This Griffinâs Nest is quite large, rivaling typical relics.
Wherever there are relics, there are sure to be treasure chests; this is a rule known to Lords.
"Tell me the location of chests inside the Griffinâs Nest."
Due to dim lighting and a lot of clutter inside, Zong Shen couldnât easily spot anything.
To save convenience, such treasure-finding affairs should be entrusted to the guide module.
(Treasure chest locations marked for you)
The guide module simply provided a marking service, given the Griffinâs Nest was too large to describe locations in text.
This thoughtful navigation feature made him quite satisfied.
Convenient, simple, and effortless.
Several golden marks appeared in Zong Shenâs view.
Spread out in several positions within the Griffinâs Nest.
Upon a rough count, there were four in total.
This indicated four treasure chests inside the Griffinâs Nest, which may include some trap chests.
This number generally matches the scale of a Griffinâs Nest.
Typically, a small relic or special location only has one or two chests.
In large relics like mines, within the explored zone by Zong Shen, there are only four or five chests.
Just having undergone the Frosty Winter Challenge and opening twenty to thirty Frosty Winter Treasure Chests, Zong Shen became immune to such treasure chests.
At least for silver level and below chests, he is quite accustomed to them.
Resorting to a policy of leaving no stone unturned, he mounted Eagleâs back again.
Walking would waste much time.
Additionally, not all treasure chests are on the ground.
Two are suspended mid-air within a section of the nest.
As the Griffinâs Nest is irregular in detail.
The internal logs crisscross and intersect, with platforms extending outward.
Thus riding Eagle is the best choice.
After fiddling for seven or eight minutes, he finally secured all four treasure chests within the nest.
These four chests occupied exactly four of his storage grid slots.
Due to limited storage space, he chose not to open them on the spot.
Presently, the priority is to return to the territory and deliver the first batch of gemstones.
Then heâll bring Hoy along for a trip, while solving the Griffinâs Nestâs garrison issue.
By now, itâs already past six in the evening.
