Volume 3 Chapter 384 The 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 to make money, kill people, kill people for money?" The bone knife belonging to the opponent.
"Fellow Daoist forgive me! I just have eyes and don't know Mount Tai. If you know that your strength is so amazing, how dare you come to offend me if you can't hide here. The main reason is that now the end of the month is approaching, and I have not obtained much ores this month. After the antidote was exchanged, there was not much left, so I waited near the entrance of the cave, trying my luck to see if I could meet some new arrivals and grab some spiritual items to exchange for some food wrapping." The skinny man heard He said, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly explained with a pair of thin arms swinging.
"According to what you said, it seems that there are not many new miners here?" Liu Ming ignored the man's plea for mercy and continued to ask.
"Fellow Daoist is right. I also heard from the chats of several guards when I went to the surface to pay ore. In recent years, due to the shrinking forces of the Sea-Monster Emperor's Tribulation, I was newly arrested. There are a lot fewer miners than before, in the past, several miners were escorted by guards and dropped from the entrance of the cave every month, but now there is not one of them for a month or two." The skinny man sighed and began to speak again.
"In other words, most of the people who stay here are old people who have been here a few years ago?" Liu Ming asked thoughtfully.
"Indeed, the environment here is harsh, food and other resources are scarce, and there are frequent disputes between forces, so the people who can survive in this place now, except for some people who have a slightly higher physique or a slightly higher realm, are mostly people whose xinxing is out of the ordinary. .As for those weak people...not attached to some forces in the mine or a few powerful people, they will naturally be buried somewhere in the mine." The skinny man replied honestly.
When Liu Ming asked here, he finally got a general understanding of the situation in the mine.
Although this skinny man is not good-looking, he knows a lot about this place, so it saves him a lot of time.
The skinny man saw Liu Ming standing in the same place, pondering silently, put one hand on the ground, slowly moved his body back, and asked cautiously:
"My lord, I know everything I know, and I can't say enough, then I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Ming glanced at the man lightly, and suddenly a ray of crystal flashed in his pupils.
The skinny man only felt a "buzz" in his head, and an extremely powerful mental force rushed into the sea of consciousness, making him not scream, and immediately slumped to the ground again with blank eyes, and there was no more for a while. other feelings.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Liu Ming's mouth, and without pausing to hold a single hand, he aimed another tactic at the man, and a black awn disappeared between the thin man's brows in the blink of an eye, and his body trembled, then slowly sit up.
Looking at the thin man's dull eyes, Liu Ming showed a satisfied look on his face.
In the following time, in order to ensure that the other party did not hide anything from him, Liu Ming asked the same question again by performing some simple ecstasy techniques.
After confirming that there were no false words or omissions in what he said before, he leaned down and pinched the man's throat with his right hand.
The skinny man who fell on the ground suddenly flashed a clear color in his eyes, and his limbs kept twitching for a few times, but after showing a trace of unwillingness, the two eyeballs froze, and his life was completely lost.
After Liu Ming rolled up all the things on the opponent's body, he raised his hand and punched, and after smashing a big hole on the ground, he kicked the corpse into it, and after shaking his sleeve, he buried it in a hurry. back,
, looked at the two passages not far from here, and after a little hesitation, sneaked forward along one of the passages
After knowing that it was so difficult to extract mana here, he naturally didn't bother to waste his precious mana and released fireballs to destroy the corpse.
...
Half an hour later, in the tunnel of the mine, in the remote place where Liu Ming was before, the body of the skinny man was dug up again and was lying on the ground covered in mud.
Reflected by the faint rays of light emanating from a few cyan glowstones embedded in the cave wall, his face, distorted by his dying struggle, looked particularly eerie.
"It turned out to be the second son of Sha. Tsk tsk, if it wasn't for Brother Shi's sensitive nose, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find it out. But the person who started it is really straightforward. His eldest brother knows about this and I'm afraid he will go crazy." One of the tall figures, checking After looking at the corpse, he said in amazement.
"It's not too far from the exit. When we went to hand in the ore, we didn't find some traces of fighting not far below the exit. Obviously, this second son of sand was mostly killed by the new guy. Yes." A shorter figure next to him said so.
"Hey, this kid is mostly trying to extort newcomers and get some benefits, but he was killed instead of thinking about it. He really can't lose money by stealing chickens." Another figure with a slightly fat body said with a sneer in his eyes. .
"Brother Gu, how do we deal with this? The body is still soft, and the person should have died not long ago. With your tracking skills, there should be a good chance of catching up with this person. This is a great opportunity for a maniac who sells sand. ." The earlier figure, who was shorter, asked towards the tall figure.
"Hmph, forget it. Although the second son of Sha is not very cultivated, he is not weak, and he is not an easy person to be here for so long. Since the newcomer can capture him so easily, and he is caught here, he will be punished. Silence is obviously not an ordinary person. We should not get involved in this matter, so as to avoid unintended consequences." After hesitating for a while, the tall figure shook his head.
Although the others felt a little pity after hearing this, they still nodded.
So the group of people didn't ask me about it, just stepped over the corpse and left to another passage.
Half a day later, the corpse was discovered by another group of miners who passed by nearby, and finally spread the word in this underground world.
...
At this moment, Liu Ming was walking slowly in a dark mine tunnel. Not only was there a bone knife around his waist, but his clothes were even more tattered, stained with a lot of mud. stale look.
In his current appearance, he looks like a miner who has been here for a long time. No one can easily see through his newcomer identity.
In his hand, he was holding a pale yellow animal skin map. The content of the map was extremely simple. It outlined a rough outline of the underground mine, so that every time he walked to a fork, he had to stop and identify it carefully. .
During the journey, Liu Ming glanced at both 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, and it looked like they were all collected many years ago.
Liu Ming was not surprised at all, and continued to move forward.
After all, this place is still near the exit. According to what the skinny man said earlier, the ore here has been collected long ago. To find the ore, you must go deeper into the vein to get anything.
What made him secretly frown was that as he continued to move forward, with such a powerful spiritual power, he couldn't reach out too far after leaving the body, and he would consume it at an alarming speed.
As a result, unless something suspicious happened, he naturally wouldn't dare to release his mental power easily.
After all, in this perilous underground world, if you save more strength, you may be able to save a small life at a critical time.
He walked like this for about half a cup of tea, but when he saw the light flashing at the end of the passage not far ahead, he came to a fork in the road again, and there were several pieces of worthless inlaid on the stone wall near the intersection. Cyan fluorite, emitting a faint white light.
However, as soon as Liu Ming entered this intersection, his face suddenly changed, his feet did not move, his body suddenly slid to one side.
At this moment, there was a "huh" above his head, and a black iron rod slammed down at an alarming speed, almost swiping across Liu Ming's body.
The loud bang of "Boom" echoed throughout the passage, setting off a cloud of dust. After the dust dissipated, there was a huge pit on the ground where Liu Ming was standing before.
After Liu Ming's body swayed, he appeared five or six feet away, and then coldly looked at a thin figure that appeared out of thin air on the edge of the big pit.
"I actually escaped! I didn't expect that you are a newcomer, but you are quite capable." Seeing this scene, the new thin figure muttered to himself a little unexpectedly. The iron rod was easily lifted up, 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 party clearly. It was a young man wearing a gray cloth, with a yellow face and a thin, sickly face. His facial features were fairly decent, but his eyebrows and big eyes looked like he was about the same age. Looking him up and down.
"How do you know that I'm 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 lightly.
"It's impossible for everyone to know each other, but I've lived here for so long, and most of the ones I've seen at ordinary times should have some impressions. Besides, although you have deliberately dressed up, anyone who has lived here for more than a year is not. , who is not a person with a pale face and a weak breath, how can he still maintain a strong spiritual aura." Hearing the words, the thin young man said with a hey hei hei hei hei.
"It turns out that this is the case, but I was negligent. Under Liu Ming, your Excellency is also a human cultivator. I don't know your surname." After Liu Ming nodded, he seemed to turn a blind eye to the incident of the sneak attack just now, but smiled and wanted to ask.
"If you want to know my name, as long as you can live for a year, you will naturally have a lot of chances in the future. Besides, if you can escape my blow, you are also 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 trust the first half and the deeper passages in the second half, every time after a while, a part will be added or disappeared." After the thin young man sneered, he said With a flick of the figure, it turned into a black shadow and disappeared into another channel. (To be continued.
