Volume Three The Battle of the Sea Clan Chapter 383: The Forces in the Cave
Liu Ming looked at the man on the ground, pondered for a moment, and then he took out a silver needle about an inch in size from his body. He stretched out his arm and stabbed the man a few times quickly, and then used one hand to stab the man.
It turned over and condensed a ball of water, which fell on the man's head, trying to wake him up.
And just at the moment when he activated the magic power in his body to release the water ball technique, Liu Ming couldn't help but frown again, and his face became uncertain.
He could clearly sense that although it was just a small spell, it consumed much more mana in the body than usual, three or four times more than usual!
And in this situation, when he released the fire bomb technique before, he had already noticed something wrong with it.
"how so……"
Liu Ming's mind was racing, and he seemed to suddenly remember something. He suddenly took a deep breath and closed his eyes with a solemn look on his face.
Not long after he vented his anger, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
He discovered that the spiritual energy here was extremely thin, less than one-tenth of that in the outside world.
Under the influence of the inexplicable suppressive power here, the vitality of heaven and earth that he could draw from the nearby void was very little.
This also means that it is difficult to replenish the mana consumed in the body through meditation, or it can only be kept abundant with external substances such as spiritual stones and elixirs.
After such a trial, Liu Ming finally understood why the man in front of him, who was not weak in cultivation, ended up like this.
"Hey, new kid, don't think that you can still use your magic power, just to show off your power here. Humph, be wise and let me go, otherwise..."
At this time, the skinny man who slowly woke up, after seeing Liu Ming's action of absorbing spiritual energy, immediately let out a sarcastic laugh, his tone full of threats.
When Liu Ming heard this, he opened his eyes with a look on his face, a stern look flashed in his eyes. Without saying a word, he raised one hand and put a little space on his body.
As a cold light flashed from his fingers into the skinny man's body, a trace of fear flashed in the man's eyes.
"What do you want to do?"
"Ah! Stop it!"
Immediately, an indescribable itching spread all over his body and penetrated deep into his bone marrow, like countless ants biting him. This man, who had cultivated in the Condensation Realm, immediately rolled on the spot and screamed in agony.
Liu Ming looked at this scene coldly, letting him struggle in pain with an indifferent look on his face.
After half a cup of tea, the screams finally subsided, but the man's body was curled up, his skin torn and covered in blood. His breath was extremely weak, and he looked like he was dying.
At this time, Liu Ming raised his arm again and pointed at the void on his body again.
The numb and itchy feeling on the man's body disappeared immediately, and his expression relaxed, but Liu Ming's cold voice suddenly came to his ears, and he couldn't help but be startled again, and his eyes looking at Liu Ming were full of fear.
"You know everything about this place. Tell it honestly. If there is anything to hide, I don't mind letting you taste what I just felt."
Liu Ming's voice was not loud, but when it reached the man's ears, it sounded like it was coming from an evil spirit in hell. His whole body trembled, he moved back almost subconsciously, and then he quickly began to speak.
It turns out that this place is the largest deep-sea mineral vein in the deep sea under the jurisdiction of the Siren Emperor. There are many rare materials buried in the mineral vein that are very rare to the outside world.
The place where Liu Ming is at this moment is a huge mine formed by countless mining slaves for many years.
This underground world is now hundreds of miles wide and has become a world of its own.
The miners here are all cultivators of various races captured by the Siren Emperor and his men. The number now is about three to four hundred, and most of them are like skinny men and are cultivators of the liquid condensation realm, but there are also extremely few.
A small number of spiritual disciples were mixed in.
When the man said this, Liu Ming was slightly startled and suddenly asked:
"If you are a spiritual disciple, can a mine slave like this be used?"
"The reason why these spiritual disciples can survive is either because of their extraordinary talents or because they are taken care of by other strong people. Otherwise, the location is so dangerous that they would not be able to survive for more than a month." Seeing this, the skinny man quickly explained.
"Oh, is there anything special about this place?" Liu Ming asked seemingly casually.
"Fellow Taoist Mingjian! For some unknown reason, this area has very little natural spiritual energy, and invisibly, it also emits a strange energy that suppresses part of the cultivation of every cultivator who enters this place. Therefore, no matter how powerful the magic power is,
, if you stay in an underground mine for several months or half a year, your own mana will be exhausted. And after that, if you plan to draw spiritual energy to replenish your mana, the efficiency will be a thousand times more difficult than in the outside world." The skinny man finally said.
Something that made Liu Ming vaguely guess.
"Don't those guards ever come down to check?" Liu Ming asked coldly after his eyes flashed.
"Those guards usually don't come down here, and let us fend for ourselves here. Only on the last few days of each month, they will show up at a fixed location to collect rare ores in exchange for antidotes and other things." The skinny man
When talking about the guards, he clenched his fists fiercely, with a look of gritted teeth on his face.
Through the following conversation, Liu Ming even learned that the depths of this mine seemed to be connected to the passage of an unknown bottomless abyss, so that every once in a while, there would be a beast called an evil beast.
Monsters rush out from it and devour the mine slaves.
This evil beast is not big in size, and its strength is mostly in the liquid condensation realm, but it is extremely bloodthirsty and ferocious, and is very entangled.
Therefore, whenever an evil beast appears, everyone will join forces to kill it, so the little mana that is finally recovered will often be used up to save lives.
As for the spiritual weapons carried by the monks, they were still usable when they first arrived here. However, after the magic power was exhausted, these spiritual weapons were just used as sharper weapons.
And some lower-grade spiritual weapons will gradually turn into mortal iron again due to the inability to replenish their spiritual energy for a long time and the erosion of the mysterious energy in the mines.
As a result, those spiritual weapons that were originally small in size would not be able to play a big role. Instead, they would not be as practical as the weapons that cultivators refine from the bones of the evil beasts they killed.
After saying this, the skinny man fell silent, looking extremely honest.
"Is there anything else you forgot to mention?" Liu Ming saw this in his eyes, and after thinking deeply, he suddenly said calmly.
"Fellow Taoist, I'm just kidding. I've revealed all the information about this place, and there's absolutely nothing hidden." Hearing this, the skinny man hurriedly defended himself.
After hearing this, Liu Ming narrowed his eyes and without hesitation stretched out his finger to point at this person.
Suddenly, the pain that was like gnawing at the body from thousands of ants came back again!
After the man screamed, he immediately curled up again. His hands kept tearing and scratching the skin, and he shouted in great fear:
"Fellow Taoist, spare your life, I said... I will say anything!"
When Liu Ming heard this, the spell in his hand suddenly stopped again.
"Tell me, if there is anything to hide, I will never stop so easily." Liu Ming said expressionlessly.
The skinny man didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately revealed everything he had concealed:
"To be honest with you fellow Taoist, in addition to the monks in the Condensate Realm, there is actually a strong demon clan in the Crystal Realm in this mine, and he is the leader of a major force in this place."
"There is actually a strong crystal-forming expert here!" Liu Ming was really surprised when he heard this.
"However, although this person is a strong man in the form of crystals, his cultivation has also been suppressed, and his mana has been continuously consumed and there is not much left. Now he has become the leader of a party in the mine solely by virtue of his strong body.
"The skinny man hurriedly explained with a smile.
"Oh I got it……"
Liu Ming nodded, then showed a hint of understanding, and then asked again:
"Since this powerful crystallizer is only the leader of one force, what other forces are there in this mine, and how are they divided?"
Seeing Liu Ming's expression soften slightly, the skinny man felt relieved and replied with a smile:
"Replying to fellow Taoist, there are only two larger forces in the cave. One is led by the demon crystallization powerhouse, and the other is led by a Tongluo alien powerhouse in the late liquid condensation stage."
"The people in the late stage of liquid condensation can actually compete with the strong people in the crystallization stage. There must be something extraordinary about people of the same level?" Liu Ming said thoughtfully.
"Yes, sir. I am actually a very rare member of the Tongluo tribe. Although he has cultivated in the late stage of liquid condensation, he is born with copper tendons and iron bones. His body is still inferior to that of the strong monsters of the demon tribe in the crystallization stage.
Slightly have the upper hand. In this place with thin spiritual energy, you can naturally control one side with this. However, fellow Taoist is also extremely powerful in body. As long as you are willing to show your strength a little, there will definitely not be many people who seek refuge. By then, you will become the first person in this place.
It may not be impossible for the leaders of the three major forces." The skinny man said with a grin on his face, but he was already gritting his teeth in his heart. In a moment, he thought of many vicious thoughts, preparing to take revenge on Liu Ming later.
In the following time, Liu Ming pressed this person bit by bit on some other important matters.
For example, although this underground mine is huge, there are very few edible things in it. In addition, it is extremely difficult for everyone to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world, and they cannot live without food for a long time. If they want to survive, they must either kill the attacking evil beasts.
, eat its flesh and blood, or rely on a large amount of ores to directly exchange food spiritual stones from the guards.
Although this deep sea vein is rich in various mineral sources, after a long period of mining, the outer mining area has gradually become somewhat scarce. If the monks want to find enough ore, they can only keep moving to deeper veins. Of course, they will encounter
The possibility of encountering evil beasts is naturally several times greater.
In the mine, the mining slaves have different origins and are from all races. In such a precarious situation, robbing each other of ore and food is a common occurrence every day in the cave.
Performed.
And when they fight together, the loser will be covered in bruises and lose everything, or even lose his life in the worst case.
