Along the long underground track, the mine car carrying Gao Jing and Xiao Hei rumbled towards the depths of the mine.
Since the tunnel was always going downwards, there was no need for two people to work at all. The mine car traveled very fast and passed through a mine pit in an instant.
Xiao Hei pulled the control lever hard to make the mine cart turn into another passage next to it.
This is close to the hinterland of the black iron mining area.
For thousands of years, miners in the Nilo Underground City have dug countless mine tunnels, which are dense and intricate, like a huge maze, and it is very easy to get lost in them.
Only old miners who are familiar with the environment and landmarks can move in and out of this underground maze freely.
Although Xiao Hei is only a teenager, his ability in this area is no less than that of any old miner, and he is extremely skilled in driving a mine cart.
Zhiqua~
The locked iron wheel rubbed violently against the track, making a harsh sound.
The mine cart, which had been running on the track for nearly an hour, finally slowly stopped.
Stopped in front of a mine.
With the light emitted by the large and small white mushrooms growing on the rock wall, Gao Jing could clearly see that the entrance to the mine was blocked by stones and wooden bars.
There is also a warning sign hanging on it!
Although the abyss never sees sunlight, it is not a dark world.
The white glow mushroom is the best daily lighting tool for Yuan people. This kind of mushroom has very strong reproduction and survival capabilities. It can be seen everywhere underground, especially in cities where it is planted in large numbers.
After miners dig new mine tunnels, they will sprinkle the white mushroom spawn they carry with them in moist places.
The glowing mushrooms grew the next day.
In addition to being used for lighting, the white glow mushroom can also serve as a source of food and water.
Although the taste is very bad, if miners encounter a landslide accident or get lost, they can barely survive by relying on white mushrooms until they are rescued or find a way out.
Therefore they are also called life mushrooms.
"This is it."
Xiao Hei said excitedly: "This is the mine where Uncle Shibang told me that traces of the Black Mountain python were found!"
The Black Mountain Python is the miners' biggest enemy besides mining disasters. Once a Black Mountain Python is discovered, they will immediately seal the mine, then stay away from the area, and then report it to the higher-ups to ask for extraordinary power to come and solve the problem.
However, such requests often go unanswered.
Because it is very difficult to be able to defeat the totem warriors and wizards of the Black Mountain Python.
And it’s expensive.
Mine owners will also weigh the pros and cons and leave it alone if they feel it is not cost-effective.
Miners like Xiao Hei who live in mining areas naturally hate the Black Mountain python.
This is also the fundamental reason why the young man is willing to risk his life to help Gao Jing find this terrible monster.
Of course, Gao Jing's generous remuneration to him was also another reason.
"Look, my lord."
Xiao Hei leaned over and grabbed a handful of dark brown soil piled up next to the cave, put it under his nose and sniffed: "This is the feces of the Black Mountain python, it's still very fresh!"
He handed the soil in his hand to Gao Jing, as if asking for credit and reward.
This guy!
Gao Jing frowned in disgust: "I know."
Although the excrement of this black mountain python has no smell, it is still very unpleasant to look at.
He took half a step back and looked at the mine next to him: "I'll go in and take a look first."
Xiao Hei quickly threw away the python dung in his hand, wiped it vigorously on himself, and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
In fact, Xiao Hei's heart at this moment was far less calm than it seemed on the surface.
The Black Mountain Python is a real shadow of childhood. Ordinary people like him will die if they are breathed out by such a terrifying monster. You can imagine how risky it is to go deep into the python cave!
It's just that despite being afraid, this young man also has the courage to take risks.
I also want to prove my courage in front of Gao Jing!
In fact, if it were anyone else, Xiao Hei might not be willing to take the initiative to ask for help.
"No."
Gao Jing shook his head: "You find a place nearby to hide first. If I don't come out, don't run around."
Gao Jing said, taking out a totem talisman from the storage space and injecting a bit of totem power into it.
This talisman was activated instantly and emitted a faint light.
"This is the hidden talisman."
Gao Jing handed the totem talisman to Xiao Hei: "With it, you will not be discovered by others or monsters. Pay attention to safety."
Xiao Hei looked at Gao Jing, and then at the glowing talisman in his hand.
Eye circles are red.
Acting as a guide in the black iron mining area is one of Xiao Hei's jobs to make a living.
Gao Jing is not the first transcendent person that Xiao Hei has worked for. In fact, this young man has met many students from the God of War Martial Hall.
But Gao Jing is the kindest strong man he has ever seen!
The other extraordinary beings were all very arrogant and did not even see civilians like him in their eyes.
He is treated like a slave by shouting and drinking at every turn!
The child of a poor man has long been in charge, and Xiao Hei is well-informed and knows how precious such a totem talisman with extraordinary power is - it is more than enough to buy his life.
Xiao Hei never dreamed that Gao Jing would directly give him a totem talisman for his own safety!
"Sir." The young man rubbed his eyes and said with fear, "This is too precious."
"Is there anything valuable?"
Gao Jing laughed dumbly: "Just take it if you want it. It will be wasted if it is activated and not used."
This kind of totem talisman is a one-time equipment. After activation, it will continue to be effective for a period of time, and then it will be useless.
He put the totem talisman into Xiao Hei's hand, then patted the other person's shoulder: "If I don't come out before dark, you leave first."
Although the sun and moon cannot be seen, the abyss world also has day and night.
In sync with the wilderness on the ground.
At night, the light emitted by all white mushrooms will become dim.
The underground world becomes dangerous after dark, especially in areas with extremely complex environments such as mining areas.
Xiao Hei looked at the totem talisman in his hand and nodded subconsciously.
When he raised his head again, he found that Gao Jing had disappeared without a trace!
So awesome!
The young man couldn't help but swallow his saliva, feeling extremely envious.
Xiao Hei has longed to become a strong man with extraordinary power since he was a child.
It's a pity that he has neither talented blood nor martial arts potential, so he can only be an ordinary person.
After standing still for a moment at the entrance of the mine, Xiao Hei suddenly heard a low roar coming from the nearby mine tunnel.
He couldn't help but shudder and quickly looked around.
Then he found a hiding place nearby and hid in to hide himself.
Quietly waiting for Gao Jing's return.
