Lu Ye suddenly felt a strong force grabbing him, and he moved forward involuntarily. Resisting the pain in his chest, he asked: "Manager Yang, where are we going?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Manager Yang said harshly, took a few steps, and looked at the mining basket behind Lu Ye: "It's lost."
Lu Ye did not dare to disobey, so he untied the mining basket and threw it on the ground. However, he did not drop the mining pick. Manager Yang only glanced at it and said nothing.
As you go inward, the light behind you becomes farther and farther away.
The depths of the mine tunnels are very dark, with only torches every few dozen feet providing a little light. Moreover, the passages in the entire mine vein are intertwined, and the terrain is extremely complex. Not every mine tunnel has torch lighting, and most of the mine tunnels are illuminated all year round.
Shrouded in darkness, no one knows where the mine tunnels lead.
So when mining here, if you don't follow the traces of the torch, you will easily get lost.
Once the mortal mine slaves lose their way in a place like this, you can imagine their fate.
According to the mine slaves, the mine tunnels illuminated by torches are open tunnels, while those that are shrouded in darkness all year round are secret tunnels.
From time to time, there are examples of torches burning out, bright roads becoming dark, and mine slaves getting lost and starving to death.
As Manager Yang walked forward, Lu Ye discovered something very strange, that is, Manager Yang would look back from time to time, looking nervous.
It seemed like there was some danger behind me.
Manager Yang's appearance made him nervous.
"Lu Ye, have you mastered some secret passage?" Manager Yang suddenly said.
"Yeah." Lu Ye nodded. There was no point in denying this in front of Manager Yang. In fact, not only Lu Ye had mastered several secret passages, but also the powerful slaves in the mine, each of them had several secret passages.
Although the open road is safe, there are not many places where you can mine it. On the contrary, there are hidden roads full of dangers, and you can often find some good goods.
It is with the help of these resource-rich secret passages that Lu Ye can gain a lot every day, otherwise he would have no extra contribution to exchange for Qi and Blood Pills.
This is also the reason why Manager Yang took Lu Ye with him after he recognized him.
"Where are the secret passages that Steward Yang wants to go to?" Lu Ye asked. Steward Yang suddenly asked about the secret passages, which made him make some guesses.
Manager Yang said: "Take me there and find the most hidden secret passage."
"Okay!" Lu Ye nodded in response. After walking a few steps, he suddenly groaned and reached out to cover his chest.
The bones in his chest were somewhat displaced. He was walking so fast with Manager Yang and couldn't rest well at all. The injury was affected at this moment. The pain made him pause, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Manager Yang looked at him dissatisfied, hesitated for a moment, reached into a cloth bag at his waist, and quickly grabbed a round, soybean-sized pill, handed it to Lu Ye and said, "Eat it!"
Lu Ye took it and couldn't recognize what kind of pill it was. He had only come into contact with Qi and Blood Pills in the past year, and the pill in his hand was obviously different from the Qi and Blood Pills.
However, Guanshi Yang is of use to him at this time, and he should not be harmed. This thing is most likely used to heal injuries.
He stuffed the elixir into his mouth and chewed it a few times. His intestines turned green because the medicine was so bitter.
"What are you doing chewing it? Just swallow it. It's a healing pill." Yang Guanshi said angrily.
As expected, it was an elixir for healing. Lu Ye had a sad expression on his face and was grateful: "Thank you, Manager Yang."
"If you really want to thank me, then leave quickly." Manager Yang pushed him.
Lu Ye had to cheer up and lead the way.
Although the elixir was terribly bitter, it was surprisingly effective. Within a moment of taking it, Lu Ye felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen. Then the wound on his chest no longer hurt so much, but became itchy and itchy.
.
This made him sigh, it was indeed a good medicine but a bitter taste.
Under the leadership of Lu Ye, the two of them kept moving forward in the criss-crossing mine tunnels. Occasionally they encountered some mining slaves returning, but Manager Yang would kill them with a single palm of his hand.
Lu Ye's eyelids jumped as he watched, and the suspicion in his heart became clearer.
About an hour later, the two of them stopped in front of a secret passage. Lu Ye already had a torch in his hand. He took this torch from nearby and said, "Manager Yang, this is the most hidden secret passage. After you go in,
Turn left at the first intersection, then turn left at the second intersection..."
Before he finished speaking, Manager Yang kicked him in: "Lead the way!"
Lu Ye's heart sank to the bottom. He didn't want to lead the way. Judging from the various actions of Manager Yang along the way, he had really led him to the right place. I'm afraid there would be no good end.
But the last attempt has failed. Manager Yang obviously has no intention of going deep into the secret passage alone. It is much better to have Lu Ye, a person who is familiar with the terrain, to guide him than to fumble by himself.
There was no choice, Lu Ye could only move on.
There were twists and turns all the way, and even the monk Yang Guanshi couldn't remember the way back. After more than an hour, the mine tunnel ahead had been blocked, and there was no way forward.
Lu Ye inserted the torch into a hidden stake on the rock wall.
Manager Yang took a breath, sat on the ground and panted. He turned his head and glanced at Lu Ye, and couldn't help but smile: "You are really capable, you can find a place like this."
Lu Ye smiled: "Good luck."
Manager Yang nodded and said no more.
Lu Ye said: "Manager Yang, I'll go back first."
Manager Yang raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly: "Lu Ye, you are a smart person. Smart people should do smart things."
As he spoke, he stood up and strolled towards Lu Yexing. The flickering firelight illuminated his shadow like a dancing ghost.
Lu Ye was panicked: "What do you mean?"
Manager Yang sighed: "I might as well tell you clearly that the people from the Haotian Alliance are here. I am afraid that this mine cannot be saved for the time being. I am here to avoid disaster. Although I am very grateful to you for bringing me here, I
I can’t let you go back.”
Lu Ye stepped back step by step, secretly thinking that this was indeed the case. He had vague suspicions when he saw Manager Yang killing the slaves in the mine. Manager Yang was afraid that the news of entering the mine would be leaked, so he naturally wanted to kill everyone who saw him.
.
The reason why he was pleasantly surprised after seeing Lu Ye at the exit of the mine was because he knew that Lu Ye could help him find a hidden place to hide.
Hiding in a place like this, even if the Haotian Alliance captured the mines, they would not be able to find him easily, and there was a high probability that they would be able to escape.
It was precisely because he was aware of his situation that Lu Ye always wanted to escape. However, if Manager Yang refused to let go, how could he escape?
"Then I'll stay with you, I won't leave." Lu Ye's back was pressed against the rock wall, unable to retreat.
Manager Yang paused and seemed to think seriously for a moment, but quickly shook his head and said: "I don't have much food with me, and I don't know how long I will hide here. Although it is impossible for the Haotian Alliance to stay here for a long time, but one or two
There are always months. After such a long time, you will starve to death, where can you stay with me. So as a thank you, I will give you a ride!"
The distance between the two was only three feet. When the words fell, Manager Yang slapped Lu Ye with his palm.
Although his cultivation level is not high, it would be easy to kill Lu Ye, an ordinary person.
But he never expected that the moment he took action, Lu Ye rushed towards him with a mining pickaxe, and hit him on the head with the mining pickaxe.
Manager Yang was a little surprised by Lu Ye's ruthlessness and decisiveness, but that was all...
However, what happened next made him even more desperate.
He suddenly found that the spiritual power in his spiritual orifice was operating in an obscure manner, as if there was an inexplicable force that imprisoned the spiritual power, and could only activate a negligible trace.
The mining pick came head-on. Manager Yang had no time to retreat, so he could only block the palm that was hitting Lu Ye in front of him.
There was a crisp click, and the mining pick hit Manager Yang's arm, breaking his arm.
Manager Yang couldn't help but scream and backed away.
After a successful blow, Lu Ye's heart immediately relaxed. It seemed that some of the rumors he had heard before were true, so there was still a way to survive.
He was unyielding and pressed forward step by step. The pickaxe in his hand kept coming and going, and he was so beaten that Guanshi Yang was almost unable to fight back.
Although Guanshi Yang is a monk in Xieyue Valley, his cultivation level is not high, so he got a sinecure job of managing the mines. He rarely fought bravely with others in his life. When dealing with the mine slaves, he relied on his cultivation level to crush him at will.
Although his cultivation was greatly suppressed, he was only slightly stronger than ordinary mortals. When he encountered someone as cruel and ruthless as Lu Ye, he was immediately beaten to the point of confusion.
While avoiding Lu Ye's fierce attack, he put his hand into the cloth bag at his waist, then raised his hand, and a cold light flashed.
Lu Ye was startled, and hurriedly stopped and used his pickaxe to block it.
The cold light struck the front end of the mining pick, and half of the fine iron mining pick was cut off.
Lu Ye fixed his eyes and looked at Manager Yang's hand, and found that he had grabbed a long sword at some point! He took it out of the bag on his waist.
Manager Yang waved the sword in his hand fiercely, and the intimidated Lu Ye did not dare to step forward at will.
The situation suddenly reached a stalemate. In the deepest part of the mine tunnel, the mortal body and the monk faced each other. The former had a cold expression on his face, while the latter looked embarrassed. The severe pain made his expression distorted.
"Magnetic force field?" Manager Yang shouted through gritted teeth. In just a short moment, he had figured out why his spiritual power was imprisoned.
There is actually a large amount of metamagnetic ore here!
Yuanci ore is a very rare mineral. In terms of its rarity, Yuanci ore is second to none in value among this vein. This mineral is of great use to some monks.
However, Yuanzhi Mine has a characteristic, which is that it releases a shadowless and invisible force field, which will restrict the flow of all spiritual power within the range.
Once a monk is in such a force field, his strength will be greatly reduced.
Guanshi Yang's cultivation was limited, and he was enveloped by this magnetic force field. His spiritual power was almost completely blocked, and he was reduced from a high-ranking monk to an ordinary mortal in one fell swoop.
He suddenly remembered that over the past year, Lu Ye had indeed occasionally mined some Yuan magnetic minerals, but others had also mined them, but the quantities were not large, so he did not pay too much attention to it. After all, this vein contained various kinds of minerals.
of minerals.
But now it seems that Lu Ye has always been in control of the location of a large amount of Yuanci ore, but he has not mined it aggressively to exchange for contributions. He only mines a few pieces occasionally to avoid being coveted by others. He is really very scheming.
"Are you plotting against me?" Manager Yang was going crazy. At this time, he still didn't understand that Lu Ye brought him here on purpose.
The mortal who thought he was going to take life and death actually showed his fangs to him. Manager Yang was furious. However, now one of his arms was broken and he was injured in many places. In this environment where he couldn't use his own cultivation, he really wasn't Lu Ye.
opponent.
So he made a quick decision, turned around and ran away.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ye suddenly felt bad.
He only knew a little about the Yuan Magnetic Field. When he handed in the Yuan Magnetic Mine for the first time, he heard the monks from Xieyue Valley talk about the characteristics of this mineral, so he paid attention to it.
On the way, he saw with his own eyes that Steward Yang was killing the mining slaves he met. He knew that this was a dangerous act, so he brought Steward Yang here. Before he broke one of Steward Yang's arms, he wasn't sure what was going on here.
Can the metamagnetic force field limit Guanshi Yang's strength?
Fortunately, Ji Ren has his own destiny, and the Yuan Magnetic Field really restrained Guanshi Yang.
However, the range covered by the metamagnetic force field is also limited. Once Manager Yang escapes from the range of the force field, he will be dead.
We must not let Manager Yang escape!
Lu Ye was furious, bent down, picked up a fist-sized stone, and threw it at Manager Yang.
Manager Yang, who was running away in embarrassment, never thought that Lu Ye had such a dirty trick. He was hit in the back of the head and staggered to the ground.
Before he could get up, the howling wind had already reached his ears. Manager Yang turned over in a hurry and saw Lu Ye rushing forward, picking up the half-cut mining pickaxe in his hand.
There's no way to avoid it now!
Between life and death, Manager Yang shouted: "Let's die together!"
The long sword in his hand suddenly thrust out!
The next moment, his head was smashed by a mining pick. Lu Yeyou was worried and hit him hard a few more times. Looking at the twitching figure in front of him, he was sure that the other person would not survive.
Severe pain came from his thigh. He looked down and saw a long sword stuck in his leg. It was the one in Manager Yang's hand.
He didn't know when he was stabbed! He didn't feel it at all just now.
Putting down the mining pickaxe in his hand, Lu Ye sat down on the ground, breathing heavily and feeling the beauty of life.
