Volume 3 Chapter 383 The Force in the Cave
Liu Ming looked at the man on the ground, and after pondering for a while, he unceremoniously took out an inch-sized silver needle from his body, and his arm protruded into an afterimage. A cloud of clear water condensed and fell on the man's head, trying to wake him up.
And just at the moment of urging the mana in the body to release the water polo technique, Liu Ming's brows could not help but wrinkle again, and his face was uncertain.
He could clearly sense that even though it was just a small spell, the mana consumed in the body was three or four times more than usual!
In this case, when he released the Fire Bomb technique earlier, he had already noticed something wrong.
"how so……"
Liu Ming's thoughts turned sharply, he seemed to remember something, suddenly took a deep breath, and closed his eyes with a dignified expression on his face.
Not long after he let out a sigh of relief, his complexion suddenly changed greatly.
He found that the spiritual energy in this place was so thin that it was less than one-twelfth of the outside world.
Under the influence of the inexplicable suppressing force here, there is very little heaven and earth vitality that he can draw from the nearby void.
This also means that it is difficult for the mana consumed in the body to be replenished through meditation, or the mana in the body can only be maintained through external substances such as spirit stone pills.
After such a trial, Liu Ming finally understands why the man in front of him, who is not weak, has such an appearance.
"Hey, new kid, don't think that you can still activate your mana, so you just want to show off your power here. Hmph, let me go if you are interested, otherwise..."
At this time, the skinny man who woke up slowly let out a sarcastic laugh after seeing Liu Ming's action of absorbing spiritual energy. The tone was full of threats.
Hearing this, Liu Ming opened his eyes with a look, and a stern look flashed in his eyes. Without saying a word, he raised one hand and emptied his body a little.
With a flash of cold light from his fingers, it disappeared into the skinny man's body. The man could not help but flash a trace of fear in his eyes.
"What do you want to do?"
"Ah! Stop it!"
Immediately, an indescribable tingling spread all over his body and penetrated deep into his bone marrow.
Like the bite of countless ants, the man who had cultivated in the Condensation Realm immediately rolled on the spot and let out a shrill scream.
Liu Ming looked at this scene coldly, let it struggle in pain, and his face was indifferent.
After half a cup of tea time. The screaming finally weakened, but seeing that man's body curled up, his skin was open and his body was covered in blood, and his breath was extremely weak. A dying look.
At this time, Liu Ming raised his arm again, facing the void on his body again.
The tingling feeling on the man's body disappeared immediately, and his expression relaxed, but Liu Ming's icy voice suddenly came from his ear, and he couldn't help but be startled again. The eyes looking at Liu Ming were full of fear.
"Tell me everything you know about this place, honestly, if you hide it, I don't mind letting you taste it again."
Liu Ming's voice was not loud, but after it entered the man's ears. But it's like a hell evil spirit. With a trembling all over, he moved his body back almost subconsciously, and then quickly began to speak.
It turned out that this place was the largest deep-sea ore vein in the deep sea under the jurisdiction of the Sea-Monster Emperor. There were many rare materials buried in the ore vein that were very rare to the outside world.
At this moment, the place where Liu Ming is located is a huge mine hole formed by countless miners who have been mining for many years.
This underground world is now a hundred miles wide, and it has become a world of its own.
The miners here are all cultivators of various ethnic groups captured by the Sea-Monster Emperor and his subordinates. Now the number is about three or four hundred. Most of them are like skinny men. A small number of spiritual disciples were mixed in.
When the man said this, Liu Ming was slightly taken aback, and suddenly asked:
"Spiritual disciples are cultivated, can such a miner be used?"
"The reason why these spiritual disciples can survive is either because of their unique talents or because they are taken care of by other strong people. Otherwise, the location is dangerous and it is impossible to survive the first month." Seeing this, the skinny man quickly explained.
"Oh, is there anything special about this place?" Liu Ming asked seemingly casually.
"Fellow Daoist Mingjian! For some reason, the natural aura is scarce in this area, and invisibly, there is also a strange energy that suppresses the cultivation of every cultivator who enters this place. Therefore, even the most powerful mana , if you stay in an underground mine for several months or half a year, your own mana will also be exhausted. After that, if you plan to absorb spiritual energy to replenish mana, the efficiency is a thousand times more difficult than the outside world." The skinny man finally said. Something that made Liu Ming vaguely guess.
"Do those guards never 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 themselves here. Only at the end of each month will they show up at a fixed location to collect rare ores in exchange for antidote and other things." The skinny man When talking about the guards, he clenched his fists fiercely, and his face showed a look of gnashing of teeth.
Through the following dialogue, Liu Ming even learned that in the depths of this mine, it seems to be connected to an unknown bottomless abyss channel, so that every time a period of time, there will be a kind of beast called evil beast. The monster rushed out of it and devoured the miners.
This evil beast is not very big, and its strength is mostly only in the condensate realm, but it is extremely bloodthirsty and cruel, and it is very entangled.
Therefore, every time the evil beast appeared, everyone would join forces to kill it, so the little mana that was finally recovered would be consumed in the insurance.
As for the spiritual weapons on the monks, they could still be used when they first arrived here. But if the mana is exhausted, these spiritual tools will be regarded as relatively sharp weapons.
And some low-grade spiritual tools will gradually re-turn into ordinary iron due to the inability to replenish spiritual energy for a long time, and the erosion of mysterious energy in the mine.
As a result, those spirit tools that were originally small in size would not be able to play a big role. Instead, it would be better for practitioners to refine weapons from the bones of those hunted beasts, which is more practical.
After finishing these words, the skinny man remained silent, looking extremely honest.
"Is there anything else you forgot to say?" Liu Ming looked in his eyes, pondered, and suddenly said lightly.
"Fellow Daoist is joking. The information about this place has been fully disclosed below, and there is absolutely no concealment." The skinny man heard the words and hurriedly defended.
Liu Ming listened, but his eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he stretched out his fingers and pointed at this person, which was a little empty.
All of a sudden, the previous pain like ten thousand ants devouring the body struck 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 Daoist, forgive me, I said... I'll say anything!"
When Liu Ming heard this, the magic in his hand changed and stopped again. .
"Let's talk, if there is still something to hide, I will never stop so easily." Liu Ming said expressionlessly.
The skinny man dared to hesitate at all, and immediately revealed what he had concealed:
"To be honest, fellow Daoist, in addition to the monks in the liquid condensing state, there is actually a demon powerhouse in the crystallizing state, and he is the leader of a major force in this place."
"There's actually a crystal powerhouse here!" Liu Ming was a little surprised when he heard this.
"However, although this person is a strong crystal formation, his cultivation is also suppressed, and his mana has been continuously consumed. There is not much at all, and now he has become the leader of the mine because of his strong body. "The skinny man hurriedly explained with a smile.
"Oh I got it……"
Liu Ming nodded, and then showed a hint of understanding, and then asked:
"Since this crystal powerhouse is only the leader of one party, what other forces are there in this mine, and how are they divided?"
Seeing that Liu Ming's face softened slightly, the skinny man felt relieved, and replied with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist, there are only two big forces in the cave, one is headed by the monster crystal formation powerhouse, and the other is headed by a Tongluo alien powerhouse in the late stage of liquid condensation."
"People in the late stage of liquid condensing can actually compete with the powerhouses in the crystal formation stage. There must be something extraordinary about people of the same level?" Liu Ming said thoughtfully.
"Yes, my lord. Congren are actually very rare people from the Tongluo clan. Although they are in the late stage of condensing liquid, they are born with copper ribs and iron bones. Compared with the demon clan powerhouses in the crystallizing stage, their physical body is still incomparable. The one who has the upper hand. In this place where spiritual energy is thin, it is natural to be able to rely on this. However, fellow Daoists are also extremely powerful. As long as they are willing to show their strength a little bit, there will definitely be fewer people who seek refuge, and they will become the number one in this place. The leaders of the three major forces are not necessarily impossible." The skinny man said flatteringly, but he had already gritted his teeth in his heart, and in a moment, he had come up with many vicious ideas, and he was ready to take revenge against Liu Ming later.
In the following time, this person was forced by Liu Ming to ask 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 of the outside world, and it is impossible for them to be fasted for a long time. Usually, if they want to survive, they either kill the attacking beasts and eat their flesh and blood, or rely on a large amount of ores to directly exchange food spiritual stones from the guards.
Although this deep-sea ore vein is rich in various mineral resources, after a long period of mining, the surrounding mining areas have gradually become scarce. If the monks want to find enough ores, they can only keep moving to the deeper ore veins. The possibility of reaching the evil beast is naturally several times greater.
In the mine, the miners have different origins and races. In such a situation of day and night, looting ore and food from each other is like a commonplace meal every day in the cave. staged.
When fighting together, the loser is lightly bruised and has nothing, and even loses his life in the worst case.
