Six Thousand Eight Hundred and Four Ore
"I am certain that someone is secretly consuming the energy of this evil crystal mine. And it is definitely not those guys!" said the altar man.
Niu Shu's eyes widened and he asked in shock: "How did you know?"
"I don't know about this place, but let's just say that in the place where I mined just now, the evil demon crystal mine there became transparent little by little. Do you believe it if someone didn't absorb the energy inside?" Shi asked looking at Niu Shu.
Niu Shu shook his head subconsciously.
"Isn't that enough? You see, you don't believe this either. So someone is definitely absorbing the energy of this evil crystal mine, and it's not those guys. If they want to absorb it, they must choose to absorb what we have already mined. And they must not dare to directly absorb this evil spirit crystal that has been left for a period of time and is still in the veins. They simply cannot bear the violent evil energy inside! "
The altar man was preoccupied with his own speculations and did not notice at all that Niu Shu, who was standing beside him, looked confused.
"What do you want to say?" After a long time, Niu Shu scratched the back of his head and asked with a silly look on his face.
"I want to say that an outsider should have discovered this mineral vein, and secretly absorbed the energy of this mineral vein in a place we don't know about. If we can find this place, won't we be able to leave here?"
When he said this, the altar man was already very excited, and his tone became "passionate".
"Can we leave here?" Niu Shu was obedient and disobedient. When he noticed this, he was extremely excited for an instant, much more excited than the altar boy.
"Calm down first!"
The altar man regretted slightly. He knew that Niu Shu also had a little daughter outside, and she was alone. She was not even old. It can be said that Niu Shu persisted until now because of his little daughter. Otherwise, he would have been there by now. It collapsed.
"Okay, okay, I'm calm, calm down!" Niu Shu took a deep breath desperately, but from his trembling face, it could still be seen that he was very excited now.
"Niu Shu, what we have to do now is to try our best to find the person who is absorbing the energy of the mineral vein." The altar man said again.
"Do you want to notify others?" Niu Shu asked.
The altar man thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "I still don't want it. I'm worried that among our mining friends, there are their spies. And...even if they don't have spies, they already..."
"I no longer have any expectations, and I can no longer be considered a human being!" Niu Shu followed the altar man's words and sighed.
"Ta-ta-ta!"
But at this moment, the outside suddenly became noisy, and countless footsteps sounded, causing the expressions of Tan Shi and Niu Shu to suddenly change.
"Could it be that they discovered changes in the mineral veins?" Niu Shu asked nervously.
"Don't worry, even if they discover the changes in the mineral vein, they may not be able to find the person who absorbed the energy of the mineral vein. Let's just pretend we don't know anything and continue mining!" the altar man warned seriously.
The altar priests were very worried. Niu Shu's mood changed drastically after experiencing expectations and disappointment, and then they really had no hope at all.
"I see!"
Fortunately, Niu Shu is not that easy to collapse. Otherwise, he would have collapsed long ago. It may be the private thoughts about his daughter in his heart that made him hold back his emotions about to collapse and raise the mine in his hand. The hoe hit the rock wall with a "clang" sound and started digging.
The altar man breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing more. He raised his hoe and began to pretend as if nothing had happened. The sparkle in his eyes was completely concealed and became lifeless. , like a life without love, digging for ore.
I have to say that Tanshi's acting skills are definitely at the level of a movie actor.
The reason why Tan Shi and Niu Shu were so confident and bold enough to start digging for the Evil Crystal here was because the mine guardians did not force them to dig where.
They just asked how many evil demon crystals they had to dig every day, otherwise they would be punished.
Therefore, they choose the place where they mine, and they also choose the time when they mine. However, under normal circumstances, they do not have time to rest. The number of demon crystals required by the mine guardians every day is just right. It was them who dug a full day's worth of ore.
"Stop it all!"
A roar suddenly sounded.
A ray of light flashed through the altar man's stagnant eyes, and then became like a pool of stagnant water again. There was no expression at all. He held the mining hoe in his hand very mechanically and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
Niu Shu, like him, also walked out.
"Why don't you open your eyes wide and see if the evil crystal you dug is still evil crystal?" Hou Taibu was extremely angry.
As the captain of the guardian team on duty today, he was quite relaxed at first, but suddenly, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, so he immediately stopped practicing and began to check the situation of the mineral veins.
As a result, when he went to the place where the excavated evil crystals were piled, he suddenly discovered that there were problems with several places where the evil crystals were obviously newly piled up.
Hou Taibu immediately got to the bottom of the matter and came to the mineral vein where Tanshi and the others were located. He was shocked to find that all the evil demon crystals embedded in the rock wall were only an empty shell, and all the energy inside had disappeared.
This frightened him so much that he didn't have time to inform the adults of the news, or he didn't dare to inform the adults at all. He hurriedly wanted to check what was going on.
"My Lord, spare me! These evil crystals are definitely not for us. We don't know what happened at all."
"Plop plop!"
The miners, who were finally awakened by Hou Taibu's roar, saw that the evil crystals they collected had turned transparent. Naturally, they understood what was going on. They became extremely frightened, begging for mercy, kneeling on the ground, and kowtowed continuously.
Tanshi and Niu Shu mixed in the crowd, pretending to be good.
"Waste, a bunch of waste!"
Hou Taibu knew that it was obviously impossible to find out what happened from these miners, so he rushed deeper into the mine angrily, wanting to see if all places had become like this.
The final result of the investigation was that all the veins in the mine where Tanshi, Niu Shu and others were located had become transparent, and all the energy had been absorbed. The trend of change was still spreading to other mines.
Hou Taibu had to inform the adults of this news now. He knew very well that if he did not inform the adults now, the adults would definitely know, but that was from others. At that time, even if he died, it would not be possible to reduce the anger of the adults.
Thinking of this, Hou Taibu was both terrified and angry, and ran quickly to where the adults were. While running, he also notified his men to go to the mine where Tanshi and others were to maintain order.
"Bang!"
"What did you say? All the evil crystals in a mine have no energy, and only a layer of shell remains? You want to die, right?" The middle-aged man, the current biggest boss in the mine core, heard Hou Taibu's report, and his face was gloomy, like the sky before a storm, dark and dense, as if water would drip out at any time.
"My Lord, I came to report immediately after I found out about the situation!" Hou Taibu cried and explained.
"Immediately?" The Lord snorted coldly, "If it was immediately, how could the energy of the evil crystals in a mine be lost?"
