Volume Three The Battle of the Sea Clan Chapter 384: Unfamiliar Youth
"Oh, so you made a special trip to ambush at the entrance of the cave, wanting to rob the newcomers who came here, and do these things of murdering people and taking money?" Liu Ming said with a half-smile, and fiddled with the original material in his hand a few times intentionally or unintentionally.
The bone knife that belongs to the opponent.
"I'm sorry, fellow Taoist! I just don't have the eyes to see Mount Tai. If you know that your strength is so amazing, I can't hide from you, so how can I dare to come and offend you? The main reason is that it's nearing the end of the month, and I haven't obtained much ore this month.
After exchanging the antidote, there was not much left, so I waited near the entrance of the cave to try my luck to see if I could meet some newcomers and grab some spiritual weapons to exchange for some food." The skinny man heard this.
He said, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly swung his skinny arms to explain.
"From what you said, it seems like there aren't many new miners here?" Liu Ming ignored the man's plea for mercy and continued to ask.
"Fellow Taoist is right. I also heard from the chats of several guards when I went to the surface to pay for ore. In recent years, due to the shrinkage of the power of the Siren Emperor during the Tribulation, the newly captured
There are far fewer mining slaves than before. In the past, several mining slaves would be escorted by guards and thrown from the entrance of the cave every month, but now there is not even one in a month or two." After the skinny man let out a breath, he began to speak again.
"In other words, most of the people staying here now are old people who have been here many years ago?" Liu Ming asked thoughtfully.
"It is true that the environment here is harsh, food and other resources are scarce, and there are frequent disputes between forces. Therefore, the people who can survive here now, except for some who have a slightly higher level of physical cultivation or realm, are mostly people with extraordinary minds.
.As for those weak ones...if they were not attached to certain forces or powerful individuals in the mine, they would naturally have been buried somewhere in the mine long ago." The skinny man replied honestly.
Liu Ming asked this and finally had a general understanding of the situation in the mine.
Although this skinny man looks unattractive, he knows a lot about this place. This saves him a lot of time.
Seeing Liu Ming standing there, looking thoughtful and silent, the skinny man put one hand on the ground, slowly moved his body back, and asked cautiously:
"Sir, I have told you everything I know, and I can't tell you everything. Then I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Ming glanced at the man lightly, and a ray of crystal suddenly flashed in his pupils.
The skinny man only felt a "buzzing" in his head, and an extremely powerful mental power suddenly rushed into the sea of consciousness, causing him not to scream, and immediately his eyes went white and he collapsed on the ground again. For a while, there was no more
Other feelings.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Liu Ming's mouth, and he kneaded with one hand without stopping. He aimed another spell at the man. A black light disappeared between the skinny man's eyebrows in the blink of an eye. His body trembled, and then slowly
Sit up.
Looking at the dull man's eyes, Liu Ming showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
In the following time, in order to ensure that the other party did not hide anything from him, Liu Ming used some simple enchantment techniques to ask the same questions again.
After confirming that there were no lies or omissions in what he had said before, he leaned down and crushed the man's throat with his right hand.
The skinny man lying on the ground suddenly had a clear look in his eyes, and his limbs twitched a few times. However, after showing a trace of unwillingness, his eyes froze, and he completely lost his life.
After Liu Ming rolled up all the belongings on the opponent, he raised his hand and punched a big hole in the ground. He kicked the body into it, shook his sleeves, and hurriedly buried it.
Finally, he looked at the two passages not far from here. After a slight hesitation, he sneaked forward along one of the passages.
After knowing how difficult it was to extract mana here, he was naturally too lazy to waste precious mana by releasing fireballs to destroy corpses.
…
Half an hour later, in the mine passage, in the remote place where Liu Ming had been, the body of the skinny man was dug out again, lying on the ground covered with dirt.
Reflected by the faint light emitted by several blue fluorescent stones inlaid on the cave wall, his face, distorted by the struggle before death, looked particularly strange.
"It turned out to be Sha Laoer. Tsk, if it weren't for Brother Shi's sensitive nose, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to discover it. But the person who did it was really straightforward. His elder brother will probably go crazy when he knows this." One of the tall figures checked.
After looking at the corpse, he said in surprise.
"This place is not too far from the exit. When we went to hand over the ore, we also found some traces of a fight not far below the exit. Obviously, this Sha Lao Er was probably killed by the new guy.
"Yes." A shorter figure next to him said.
"Hehe, this kid probably wanted to blackmail the newcomer and get some benefits, but he was killed instead. It's really a waste of money." Another slightly fat figure said with ridicule in his eyes.
.
"Brother Gu, how should we deal with this matter? Judging from the body's softness, it seems that the person has not been dead for long. With your tracking skills, there should be a good chance to catch up with this person. This is a great opportunity for the madman to sell a favor.
." The shorter figure from before asked the tall figure.
"Hmph, forget it. Although Sha Laoer is not a weak person, he is not a weakling, and he can stay here for so long, so he is not an easy person. Since the newcomer can capture him so easily, he will be killed only after he is caught here.
Mikou is obviously not an ordinary person. Let's not get involved in this matter, so as not to cause trouble." After a moment of hesitation, the tall figure shook his head.
Although the others felt a little pity after hearing this, they still nodded.
So the group of people just stepped over the corpse and left towards another passage without asking any questions.
Half a day later, the corpse was discovered by another group of mining slaves passing nearby, and eventually word spread in the underground world.
…
At this moment, Liu Ming was walking slowly alone in a dark mine tunnel. Not only did he have a bone knife on his waist, but his clothes were also tattered and stained with a lot of mud. He looked very tired.
Old look.
The way he is dressed now, he looks exactly like a mining slave who has spent a lot of time here. It is unlikely that anyone will be able to easily see through his identity as a newcomer.
In his hand, he held a pale yellow animal skin map. The content in the map was extremely crude, and it outlined a rough outline of an underground mine. Every time he reached a fork, he had to stop and carefully identify it.
.
During the march, Liu Ming kept scanning the sides of the passage and found that the rough gray-white stone walls were full of pits and grooves, but there was not a single ore inside. It looked like they had all been collected many years ago.
Liu Ming didn't feel surprised at all and continued to move forward.
After all, this place is still considered to be near the exit. According to what the skinny man said before, the ore here has been collected long ago. To find the ore, one must go deeper into the veins to gain anything.
What made him frown secretly was that as he continued to move forward, such a powerful spiritual power could not reach too far after leaving the body, and it would be consumed at an alarming speed.
In this way, unless there was something suspicious, he would naturally not dare to release his mental power easily again.
After all, in this dangerous underground world, if you preserve more strength, you might be able to save his life at a critical moment.
After walking like this for about half a cup of tea, he saw a few lights flashing at the end of the passage not far ahead. He suddenly arrived at a three-way intersection, and there were several worthless pieces inlaid on the stone wall near the intersection.
Blue fluorite exudes a faint white light.
However, as soon as Liu Ming entered this intersection, his expression suddenly changed, and his body suddenly slid to one side without moving his feet.
At this moment, there was a "whoosh" above his head, and a black iron rod slammed down at an astonishing speed, almost grazing Liu Ming's body and sweeping past him.
A loud "boom" echoed throughout the passage, raising a cloud of dust. After the dust cleared, a large crater about ten feet in size appeared out of thin air on the ground where Liu Ming had been standing.
After Liu Ming's body shook, he appeared five or six feet away, and then looked coldly at a thin figure that appeared out of thin air on the edge of the pit.
"You actually dodged it! I didn't expect that you, a newcomer, are quite capable." Seeing this scene, the newly appeared thin figure muttered to himself in surprise, and then he looked at the huge figure that was completely incompatible with his body shape.
He lifted the iron bar easily, waved it casually and put it on his shoulder. Then he raised his head and looked at Liu Ming curiously.
Liu Ming naturally saw the other person clearly. He was actually a young man wearing gray cloth, with a sallow complexion and a sickly face. His facial features were fairly regular, but he had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He seemed to be about the same age as himself, and he was looking at him with a lazy expression.
Looking him up and down.
"How do you know that I am a newcomer? Don't you know everyone here?" Liu Ming looked at the bone knife on his waist and the tattered clothes on his body, and asked calmly.
"It's impossible to know everyone, but I've lived here for such a long time, and most of the people I've met should have some impression. Besides, although you dressed up deliberately, anyone who has lived here for more than a year
, how can anyone who is not pale-faced and weak in breath still maintain strong spiritual power?" Hearing this, the thin young man let out a hey and said nonchalantly.
"I see, I was negligent. I am Liu Ming, you are also a human cultivator, I don't know your surname." Liu Ming nodded and seemed to turn a blind eye to the sneak attack just now. Instead, he smiled and wanted to ask.
"If you want to know my name, as long as you can live for more than a year, you will naturally have a lot of opportunities in the future. In addition, if you can avoid my blow, you are qualified to live here. Another piece of advice for you, no matter what
Where did you get the map in your hand, but generally you can only believe the first half, and the deeper passages in the second half will add or disappear every time..." The thin young man sneered and said loudly,
With a flash of his body, he turned into a black shadow and disappeared into another passage. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
