"Haha, the natural divine body is almost unique in ancient times. How can it not be terrifying?" Zhong Wuyan shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "It is said that His Highness is only fourteen years old, but with every movement, there is already a chain of order flowing, affecting the world. Elephant, its whole body exudes golden divine light. Even those innate creatures in the spiritual realm were just like this when they were young. People of your generation are destined to see a bright moon in the sky and the stars in the sky will be eclipsed by it."
"It's so enviable." After hearing what his mother said, Zhong Ling also sighed sincerely.
Immediately, she couldn't help but think of Shen Chen. If that guy was still alive now, he would also be a monster...
"Okay, if nothing goes wrong, Ling'er, you'd better return to the secret room quickly and don't let outsiders see it." After a while, Zhong Wuyan became serious.
"Then how long do we have to hide? Those old monsters in Netherworld Palace have obviously been driven away..." Hearing that he was about to return to the secret room again, Zhong Ling was very angry, like a little girl in front of her mother. leak.
"Ling'er, don't be careless. Unless the strong men of Luo Yun Sect come to build a large formation in this city in a few days, otherwise if your tracking is exposed, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen," Zhong Wuyan glared at her angrily. , "Although those old monsters have been driven away now, haven't you noticed that the strength of the Tian family, Crazy Blade Sect, Wild Wolf Village and other big families that usually don't deal with our City Lord's Mansion has suddenly and strangely increased. ?”
"Mother, you mean, those old monsters still have some backup plans?" Zhong Ling was surprised.
"Haha, silly girl, do you think those old monsters will be willing to accept Luo Yunzong's anger? They don't dare to set foot in this territory anymore, but secretly, it doesn't mean that they can't deal with us." Zhong Wuyan said with a smile, A coldness flashed through her beautiful eyes, "Of course, if those three companies dare to go too far, I won't sit idly by and ignore it..."
…………
Luoyuncheng, North Mining District.
This is a vast mountain range, stretching for hundreds of miles. There is no grass growing, and everything is red. The exposed rocks are also scattered and vary in size. Some weigh more than a million kilograms. They are stacked there like a small mountain.
As far as the eye can see, the surrounding area is completely desolate. However, every few miles or even miles, there are crowds of people.
This mountain range is the "North Mining Area" that the original residents of Luo Yuncheng talk about. As early as ancient times, it was rich in various ores. Concentrated iron ore is relatively common. Of course, if you are far away, you can occasionally dig up some such as Rare materials such as red gold and iron, blue sea silver, and black fine gold.
In ancient times, this place was the burial ground of countless strong men. It is said that this place was the favorite battlefield of those powerful forces in ancient times. Now, near this mountain range, those powerful forces in ancient times have long since withered away. Here Because of its rich mineral deposits, it has become a rolling source of wealth for all the major forces in Luo Yuncheng's territory.
In such a huge area, within the scope of Luo Yuncheng, it is naturally impossible for any sect to monopolize it, not even the city lord's palace can do it. In fact, as long as the families and sects with a little confidence have already got a share of the pie here,
, the areas controlled more or less, many of them have become the main source of wealth for those forces.
It is precisely because of such a complicated situation that there have been constant battles here from ancient times to the present. The main trigger is the dispute over the demarcation of boundaries. Secretly, everyone wants to annex more miles of mines...
North mining area, Ranqijian in the west section.
The sun is scorching right now, and thousands of people are absent from work, sweating profusely.
"Quick, move quickly!"
"Don't be lazy!"
"Looking for sex?"
Nearby, there are constantly supervisors with a silver wolf head embroidered on their chests, holding whips to urge them on, and their postures are bossy and domineering.
From time to time, there would be teams of men on horseback armed with big swords, constantly patrolling by. Those people were wearing armor. Every time they passed by, whether they were looking at the absentees or the supervisors who were showing off their power, their eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
These are all covered with black cloaks, which are majestic. On the back of each cloak is embroidered a green wolf with fierce eyes and bared teeth.
For a long time, this broad mountain stream has been the territory of Wild Wolf Village. Those men and horses wearing black cloaks are the elite troops of Wild Wolf Village. Each team has at least one monk who is in the early stage of Bone Forging Realm.
Leading the team, among the patrol teams of various forces in the northern mining area, the forces are determined to be at the forefront. In recent times, due to some reasons, there is a trend of strengthening.
Those supervisors were also from Yelang Village, but they had a humble status in that village, and they were all weaklings.
It is said that the ancestors of Yelang Village were a group of bandits, who burned, killed and looted everywhere. Hundreds of years ago, several bandit leaders accidentally obtained some valuable resources. Then each of them grew in strength by leaps and bounds. Yelang Village also went from being despised by everyone overnight.
The bandits' den has transformed into a powerful third-rate force within a thousand miles of Luo Yuncheng.
Although the bandit spirit of Yelang Village has been reduced a lot over the years, and they no longer engage in burning, killing, and looting activities on the surface, the ferocity in their bones has still been passed down.
Anyone who relies on helping people dig to support their families in this mining area knows that Yelang Village has always been known for its cruelty in treating absentees. In those years, people died every once in a while. Yelang Village naturally claimed that it was an accident.
, but there is nothing impermeable in the world. With the patrol team of Yelang Village, the ugly behavior of supervisors who abused absentees was exposed. Over time, no one was willing to come here to help Yelang Village mine.
Later, Yelang Village simply stopped being secretive. No one was willing to help with mining. They bribed many nearby counties and secretly obtained a large number of death row prisoners. The people who are sweating here now are the people Yelang Village collected from all over the country.
A repeat offender.
The supervisors of Wild Wolf Village have no scruples when it comes to dealing with these people. If they are slightly dissatisfied, they will be beaten with whips, or even directly kill people out of anger. This is a common thing...
"Haha, Bu Yong, what have you gained today? Baokuang has not been dug out for more than half a month. The ancestors are very unhappy now..."
In the distance, a larger patrol came towards them. The leader was a middle-aged man with gloomy eyes and dressed in brown clothes. From a distance, a harsh laugh could be heard.
Hearing the laughter, a group of supervisors headed by Bu Yong all trembled, and a trace of panic flashed in their eyes.
It was obvious that all the supervisors present were afraid of this person.
"Haha, Master Qu, you are always here. Hurry, hurry, come and drink tea!"
Bu Yong's cloth shirt was already soaked with sweat, but facing the middle-aged man, his back was still a little chilly. He turned around and saw the man approaching, and quickly picked up a delicate hand from the haystack next to him.
With a purple clay pot, he greeted him with a flattering smile.
There was also an earthenware pot in the haystack, which they used to drink water from. But when entertaining that person, he didn't dare to use something that couldn't be put on the table. He had obviously prepared it for a long time...
"Gulu!" Qu Xin was not polite. He took the purple clay pot and took a sip of cool tea. He looked at Bu Yong and the others with some fun and said, "Haha! Qingwu Snow Tea, this thing is not cheap. You guys
These guys really know how to enjoy themselves, it seems they make a lot of money on weekdays."
"Hey, Captain Qu is joking. These ancestors are so powerful in all directions, how dare we make any profit? These things are all squeezed out by the brothers through frugality and bought specifically to honor Captain Qu..."
Bu Yong was shocked, but he had to smile, which looked uglier than crying.
On weekdays, they do occasionally get some oil and water, and if they dig out Baokuang, there will be some rewards from above.
However, the Qingwu Snow Tea with a dozen Spirit-Gathering Pills and one tael is not something people like them can afford.
I gritted my teeth and endured the pain to buy that thing, not just to honor this leader Qu, who was not only the person in charge of this mining area, but also a genuine and accomplished master of the Bone Forging Realm.
There were not many people like this in Wild Wolf Village in the past. Even though they were nominally in charge of this mining area, they were basically invisible for most of the year. If there was a problem in the mining area, they could only go to the city every time.
He searches for people in the brothels and finds them accurately.
Due to Qu Xin's great strength, several ancestors turned a blind eye to such behavior, but for some unknown reason, the strength of Yelang Village suddenly increased overnight.
Many strong characters have emerged.
Although this Captain Qu also received a lot of resources, several ancestors even gave him a third-grade elixir.
It's a pity that this guy drank too much on weekdays, and his cultivation has been abandoned for many years. The foundation has been rotten, and a large amount of resources have been squandered, but his cultivation has not improved at all.
In addition, the recent harvest in the mining area was indeed unsatisfactory, so several ancestors in the village got angry and ordered them to come here, and the district chief was responsible for supervision.
On the surface, this guy's position as helmsman was saved, but anyone with a discerning eye in the village could see that after several ancestors made decisions, this guy's status was no longer what it was before.
Qu Xin was very angry when encountering such a scandal. Bu Yong and others did not dare to offend him, so they could only serve him as if they were ancestors.
"Hmph! Stop being so glib with me. If you don't dig out Bao Kuang, you will suffer the consequences sooner or later..." Although he drank the good tea, Qu Xin's scolding was still merciless. His face changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
"call out!"
Suddenly, a figure rushed over, looking very hasty.
