This is not a baseless speculation, the rodents in the Beipo Silver Mine on the mountainside have been dealt with by Xia Chuan leading the army. Five days ago, Xia Hong personally sliced open the belly of a high-level rodent there and saw the silver that hadn't been fully digested.
"If that's the case, it means that all silver mines, as long as they're occupied by the Cold Beast clan, have a high probability of producing Beast Kings. The ones that already exist might give birth to more. This means that the two new silver mines Li Tiancheng and Hou Jing discovered this year, plus the two original ones in Long Mountain, are like four ticking time bombs. If not dealt with in time, once the Cold Beasts become strong..."
Thinking of this, Xia Hong's brow furrowed slightly, and he felt an increased sense of urgency.
Just then, the voice of the maid Han Yue came from below.
"Lord, Minister has returned, he is waiting for you in the Political Hall."
"Finally back!"
