"Pi Si, you're not taking us in circles, are you?"

The side of a ridge somewhere.

Looking at Pi Si picking up the ore with an excited look on his face, Situ Nan narrowed his eyes and asked behind him.

"Ah? Senior, what did you say?"

Pi Si chuckled. Of course he would not admit that he was just leading these people around.

Don't doubt how he, a little person who has not reached the level of a god, would have the guts to do this.

The reason is simple, he knows that these people will definitely try to kill him in the future.

The best case scenario is just to let him get away alone, and Pi Si will not be so naive as to think that they will really give him the reward afterwards.

So I deliberately took a few people in a circle, obviously we could cross the ridge directly, but we had to take an arc from the side.

The purpose was to pick up more ores. Counting the three or four ores in front of him, he had already obtained more than twenty ores in just this hour.

"Well, it's almost done. Let's take them there. When they fight with the iron-eating beast, I will take the opportunity to escape."

Pi Si was muttering in his mind.

Looking at Situ Nan, whose face gradually darkened, he explained with fear:

"Senior, senior, please don't misunderstand me!"

"This is where the iron-eating beasts are active, and the golden light I saw is in that direction!"

Pi Si knew that his behavior was seen by these people, so it was not surprising at all.

Now he wants to let these people know his own value and quickly get through it.

"there?"

A black-robed sword guard walked up to Pi Si, exuding a coldness that made Pi Si feel guilty.

"Since it's over there, why did you bring us here? You even said I misunderstood you!"

Knowing that the other party had murderous intentions, Pi Si's desire to survive made Pi Si shake his head repeatedly and beg for mercy.

"Senior, of course you don't know if you don't come to this mountain often.

Over there is the active chassis of the iron-eating beasts, I suspect it is their lair."

"Iron-eating beasts have a strong sense of territory. If we go there like this, they will probably conflict with us, so I thought of leading you, seniors, to avoid them as much as possible."

boom.

While they were talking, several people heard an explosion from the direction Pi Si pointed, a strong wind blew in the mountains, and a faint golden light could be seen.

"It sounds like someone is fighting!"

The attention of Situ Nan and the others was directly attracted, and they temporarily ignored Pi Si taking them around in a circle.

"Who is he? Is he the formation master from Fangshi?"

Lin Meier pondered the analysis.

Zhong Wutong nodded solemnly:

"It's very possible. He must have come here to find out what the strange phenomenon was."

The black-robed sword guard’s voice was low:

"Then the situation becomes a bit complicated!

The reinforcements from the three chambers of commerce will definitely come to chase the formation master. By then, the three of us will have gathered in the territory of the iron-eating beast, and there will be a melee waiting for us."

Situ Nan nodded in agreement:

"However, this is also an opportunity. If Pi Si hadn't led us around, we would have been the first to encounter a conflict between the iron-eating beasts and the iron-eating beast tribe, and then we would have been benefited by those coming from behind.

Now that the matter has come to this, we simply wait for the opportunity and wait for the people from the Chamber of Commerce to clash head-on with those iron-eating beasts before looking for an opportunity to strike."

"Senior, what a great idea!" Pi Si quickly flattered him from the sidelines.

Situ Nan looked at Pi Si and sneered:

"Then you should lead the way. This time I think you hit me by mistake. If you try again, this place will be your burial place."

Pi Si nodded and assured:

"Senior, don't worry, give me a head and I won't dare to miss your big event, senior."

After Pi Si finished speaking, he led the way and walked towards the iron-eating beast's territory based on past experience.

Except for the ores he encountered along the way, he didn't dare to go around in circles again.

As casual cultivators who have been working for a long time in Dragon Snake Town, although their lives have been a bit harder, they have been squeezed harder by the Chamber of Commerce.

But even so, few people are willing to leave, because it is relatively safer to live here.

Many casual cultivators who died died at the hands of other casual cultivators.

In comparison, those who died under the claws of the iron-eating beasts were only a handful.

Iron-eating beasts have a strong sense of territory. Once they enter their territory, they will be attacked. Patrolling iron-eating beasts will roar warnings when approaching their territory.

If we retreat at this time, those iron-eating beasts will not pursue us.

Therefore, casual cultivators who are aware of this situation will only move around the periphery of the Yuanji Mountains, and occasionally encounter ores that have been absorbed by iron-eating beasts.

The most important thing to be wary of is other casual cultivators, because it is not uncommon for a piece of ore to cause murderous intent.

Apart from this, the iron-eating beast is just one of the overlords of the vast Yuanji Mountains.

Although the formations in the Yuanji Mountains have such a huge effect that people cannot resist, there are still some monsters with special physiques that can survive in such an environment.

And those who can survive in such an environment are all special monsters that are rare in other areas.

Entering the Yuanji Mountains, not to mention that there is no aura of heaven and earth in the air, you also need to suppress the divine power in your body at all times.

The extremely harsh living environment means that there are no plants in the Yuanji Mountains.

Therefore, the monsters that can survive here all feed on ores, and each one has its own characteristics.

"Senior, look at that mountain peak over there!"

Pi Si led eight people over the ridge, pointing to a red peak not far away and introduced:

"That is a mountain of divine fire copper. Looking at the color, you can tell that there is a large amount of divine fire copper.

Shenhuo copper is easy to mine because it does not need to go deep underground, but no one who went there to mine came back alive.

Why do you think this is?"

Pi Si asked pretending to be mysterious, and noticed that no one behind the sword was paying attention to him. He laughed dryly and answered to himself.

"Because that mountain is the territory of golden fire ants. Those ants are not big, but they can eat the Shenhuo copper mine.

As long as someone sets foot on that mountain, the whole mountain seems to come alive. No matter how many people go there, they will be eaten by golden fire ants, leaving no bones left!

I have seen powerful men at the level of gods being bitten to death!"

Pi Si said this, but in fact, what he said he had seen was because he heard about it from others.

While he was talking, the sound of fighting came from the distance again, and the sound was as dense as firecrackers.

"Senior, listen, there's another fight over there!"

Pi Si's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, which also meant, look at how wise it is for me to take you in a circle!

The black-clothed sword guard walking in front alongside Pi Si said in a low voice:

"With this movement, there must be hundreds of people on both sides. It should be that the people from the Chamber of Commerce later chased the man and had a conflict with the iron-eating beast. This is indeed an opportunity for us!"
