Wu Tie's face flushed, his head lowered and he fled from the Foreign Affairs Department building in embarrassment.
Behind him, there was a wave of laughter.
The first-class deacon of the Shi family actually wanted to take over the task of killing ordinary gray rock lizards. The rough guys in the first floor hall were laughing at him crazily.
But after a while, the laughter stopped abruptly.
The guy with bad intentions ran to ask the dwarf girl what mission Wu Tie had accepted.
There was a sudden gasp in the hall on the first floor, and then someone shouted loudly: "If that kid comes back alive, I will eat his own horn!"
"It's a game, it's a game, can this kid come back alive? Bet, bet, who bets that this kid can come back alive?"
"In the Underworld Mine, someone finally took over this damn mission... But he won't live for a few more days, right?"
"It's a pity that this boy is so shy and blushing. I haven't seen such a silly boy in many years."
On the second floor of the Foreign Affairs Department, behind a large window, Shi Meng was holding a large wine jar in his left hand and a large stone bowl in his right hand. He was very happy to pour and drink by himself. His face was flushed with drunkenness, and he squinted at Wu Tie, who was escaping in embarrassment.
"This kid is shy. Hey, that's interesting."
"He's not very old. Don't look at his height, but he is probably tall enough to be fourteen years old?"
"Well, you are young and shy. How can you train a little guy like this to become one of your own? At such a young age, he can be rated as a first-class deacon by a cunning guy like the second brother. It seems that he has a lot of potential."
He put down the stone bowl, grabbed an animal skin book next to him, and turned to the line Wu Tie wrote when he received the lava grass nine days ago.
"The font is neat... No, the writing is very beautiful... It seems that he really comes from a family and knows some words..."
"Talent."
Shaking his head, Shi Meng said in a deep voice: "Those who can survive are the ones with talent. The Underworld Mine is a place that none of the old guys in the family want to go near. Who knows what is wandering around in there?"
"Go with a few people and follow behind to help this kid... But don't enter the Hell Demon Mine. I don't want my people to be damaged in it for no reason. If this kid can come out alive, take him back."
"As long as he can come back alive, we will train him according to the standards of his direct clan members."
"You're still young, but you're still shy... Well, compared to those old guys who have become so cunning and shameless, this kind of person is still more reliable."
Picking up the big stone bowl and drinking the wine in one gulp, Shi Meng murmured towards the empty sun on the dome and smiled: "Second brother, I believe in your vision. At such a young age and alone, I can be judged by you as a A talented person who is a first-class deacon, oh oh, I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go."
Wu Tie returned to his small courtyard.
He rubbed the dough with cold water to remove the color from the reddened skin, and then he looked at the mission letter written by the dwarf girl.
In fact, it was just a piece of animal skin paper with two simple lines of writing written on it.
Find out the source of the mutation in the Underworld Mine.
The reward is sixty lava grass plants and 1% of all the income from the Underworld Mine in the next ten years.
"Be good, what a high reward. The Underworld Mine..." Wu Tie frowned, grabbed a stone on the ground, and threw it into the yard next door: "Old Bai, Old Bai, are you there? Let me ask you something. matter."
…
When the light from the virtual sun was at its strongest, Wu Tie left Dashi City wearing a set of iron armor, carrying a steel gun, and carrying an animal skin package.
The iron armor and steel spears were all obtained from the arsenal of Dashi City. As the Shi family's first-class foreign affairs deacon, Wu Tie's weapon consumption was borne by the Shi family.
In the animal skin package, there is wine, dried meat, wound medicine, and antidote.
There is also salt for outdoor barbecue... What is especially luxurious is that there is a small bag of chili powder and spice powder.
Wu Tie remembered clearly that at the Wu Family Stone Castle, Wu Zhan was thinking every day about how to open up more fields and feed more warriors and slaves.
The Shi family is so luxurious that they have free fields to grow these crops purely for enjoyment.
Chili powder and spices... This was the first time Wu Tie encountered them in his life. He was actually a little salivating and wanted to try adding these things to the barbecue to see how delicious the barbecue could taste.
However, only deacons on missions can receive such a small portion.
Even in the Shi family, this chili powder and spices are very rare treasures.
After leaving Dashi City and confirming the direction, Wu Tie's invisible force field was activated, and his body suddenly glided into the sky. He jumped up to a height of more than ten meters, crossed hundreds of meters in one step, and rushed towards the direction of the Underworld Mine as fast as the wind. go.
In Big Rock City, two rat scouts hurriedly ran out with four werewolf warriors.
Watching Wu Tie's figure waver, he ran several miles away in the blink of an eye. The four werewolf warriors looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. An old wolf with white hair turned around and walked away. Slapped a Skaven scout.
"What are you doing just looking at me? Follow me! If you lose someone, you should explain it to Mr. Liu yourself!"
The rat scout was slapped and turned around twice. He blinked innocently and looked at the old wolf head. The two rat scouts did not dare to tell the difference. They hurriedly followed the scent left by Wu Iron in the air, and quickly chased after him.
Then they each received another kick from the wolf warrior, and kicked them hard on the buttocks.
"Idiots, where do you expect you to search based on the smell? He must be going to the Underworld Mine... just lead the way to the Underworld Mine! If you lose someone, you will suffer."
The two rat scouts looked at each other innocently and ran at full speed in the direction of the Demon Mine.
The Underworld Mine is only more than 150 miles away from Big Rock City, and you need to pass through a mine that is dozens of miles long to reach it.
Originally this place was called the Cold Crystal Mine. It was a large mine where gold and copper veins met. It was accompanied by an extremely precious cold crystal mine. Among the people of the Lu family who are best at blacksmithing in the Cangyan Territory, this kind of cold crystal was called Hyun blue crystal.
Hyun blue crystal can more than double the toughness of weapons and armor created, and can more than double the number of runes and magic circles engraved during forging. It is an extremely precious forging material. A piece of blue crystal ore can be exchanged from the Lu family for a hundred times the volume of gold nuggets or materials of equivalent value.
But a few years ago, a sudden change occurred in the Hanjing Mine, and some mysterious things happened. The mine slaves suffered heavy casualties.
After several elders of the Shi family with strong cultivation entered, they also managed to escape in embarrassment. They just managed to escape by themselves, and all the people accompanying them were injured inside.
The mine was abandoned, and the Shi family lost a large chunk of their income.
The Lu family, who were in urgent need of forging materials, once united with the Shi family and organized a powerful exploration team to enter the mine. However, they escaped in embarrassment with a broken army. An elder of the Lu family also stayed in the mine forever and could not come out.
As a result, the Cold Crystal Mine became the notorious Hell Demon Mine. The Shi family's task of exploring the source of the mutation in the mine has been pending with the Department of Foreign Affairs for several years. Over the past few years, people have taken over the task one after another, but no one has survived.
Wu Tie recalled the information Lao Bai gave him, holding a piece of dried meat in his hand and chewing on it.
It didn't take much time to arrive at the distance of more than a hundred miles. He was running quickly in the open and spacious mine tunnel. A small stone castle appeared in front of him, and several gray dwarf warriors stopped in front of Wu Tie.
"Boy, there is the Hell Demon Mine ahead. What are you doing here? Are you going to die?" A drunk gray dwarf, smelling of alcohol, slammed a heavy hammer on the ground and shouted at Wu Tie.
Wu Tie handed over his mission letter. The black writing on the creamy yellow animal skin paper was clearly visible. The special mission seal of the Shi Family Foreign Affairs Department was stamped underneath. The blood-colored ink pad made of cinnabar mixed with animal blood was very eye-catching.
Several gray dwarves became as excited as if they had been injected with blood. They whirred and circled around Wu Tie several times in excitement. Then the drunk lover slapped Wu Tie on the thigh.
"He is a good man, go ahead, go ahead... After you die, when we brothers drink, we will remember to pour some for you."
A group of gray dwarves laughed.
They have been responsible for guarding the entrance and exit of the Underworld Mine all year round. They have witnessed some unspeakable weird things with their own eyes, and they have been under great pressure. There is no one to take shifts, and they have long been a little out of their minds.
Wu Tie looked at the smiling gray dwarves, shook his head, and strode past the stone castle.
There were more than a dozen animal oil torches inserted on the outer wall of the stone castle. The torches the size of a human head were burning brightly, and the firelight illuminated an area outside the stone castle.
Outside the scope of the firelight of the stone castle, traces of gray-white mist like spider webs were quietly suspended in the air.
These fogs, let's call them fogs for now, are just suspended in the air lifelessly without any movement.
Occasionally, a light cool breeze would blow from the mine tunnel, causing the torches to whir and sway, and the original red firelight would turn into a faint green at that moment.
The green light cast by more than a dozen torches shone on Wu Tie, and a dozen shadows swayed in the mine tunnel ahead, looking particularly scary.
The gray dwarf's loud laughter came from behind: "Don't you dare to go in? Then come back... It's not shameful, really."
"Boy, come back, don't go and die... Don't talk about you... Six months ago, the Iron Horned Ox Axe, a special five-star deacon of the Department of Foreign Affairs, was also damaged inside. He is a master of the Chonglou Realm, and he has mastered the magical power of the Bull Demon. A master!"
"Isn't that right? Come back and have a few sips with your brothers... After you finish drinking, go back to Dashi City to sleep... Isn't it just a task? If you can't complete it, there will be no shame."
Wu Tie looked hesitantly at the silky gray mist outside the fire-lit area ahead.
The mist hung heavily in the air, and Wu Tie vaguely felt that someone seemed to be staring at him behind the mist.
The eyes were greasy, like rice porridge that had gone rancid overnight, cold, sticky, and carrying an inescapable stench. In short, this look gave him a very bad feeling.
A few gray dwarves were still yelling behind them, and then they took out the wine jars, sat at the door of the stone castle and drank heartily.
Wu Tie licked the corner of his mouth.
Just go back in despair
This makes it even more embarrassing, okay
He still remembers the laughter that filled the hall when he received the mission.
"Old Tie... Am I a little stupid for doing this?" Wu Tie's face felt hot. He gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth, and walked step by step towards the area that was not covered by the firelight.
He took a deep breath, and a ball of fire jumped out next to him, turning into a fireball the size of a human head and floating above his head, emitting a bright light that shone in all directions.
Then another fireball, and another fireball.
In order to strengthen his courage, Wu Tie made a total of forty or fifty bright fireballs the size of human heads suspended above his head. The fireballs were radiating and heat waves were rolling. The fireballs absorbed the free energy in the air and released domineering light and heat.
Several gray dwarves put down their wine jars in shock.
"Master Yuan?"
Wu Tie had already gone far, and two rat men led four wolf warriors into the stone castle.
The four wolf warriors listened to the stories of several gray dwarves, and their eyes suddenly widened.
Just when Wu Tie ran so fast, jumped so high, and rushed straight to the Underworld Mine, the four wolf warriors suspected that he had activated some kind of innate magical power.
Looking at it now, it turns out to be true.
A little guy in the Foundation Establishment Realm can actually create a big fireball out of thin air and use it as a torch for lighting, and he can also control the fireball to follow him forward so easily. This kind of person in this era has a special name called Master Yuan!
Master Yuan is born with strong spiritual power, superior soul power, and excellent communication skills with Yuan Neng.
Master Yuan can use all kinds of wonderful spells when his cultivation level is extremely weak. As his cultivation level gradually improves, it is easier for them than ordinary people to comprehend magical powers and acquire various extraordinary spell-casting abilities.
Thunder, fire, magma, wind.
He can even summon wind and rain to create soldiers, and various miraculous methods emerge one after another. He is as powerful as the legendary gods and immortals.
Any Yuan Master, no matter how weak he is, should not be just a first-class deacon.
"Second Master made a mistake this time." A wolf warrior muttered to himself.
"This kid, he doesn't know how valuable he is... Why did he go in so stupidly?" The white-haired old wolf scratched his scalp, sighed in distress, and then slapped a rat-man scout. .
"Don't you have any eyesight? Why don't you go back and tell Mr. Liu that this kid is actually a Yuan Mage... He said that he ran like the wind. He ran much faster than I did when I took a knife in the butt and ran for my life. This proves that he At least I can control the power of wind."
"He can also use the fireball as a torch, lighting up all the way to follow him... This kid also masters the power of fire?"
"The power of wind and fire is mixed. When this kid reaches the Sensory Realm and gathers his magic power... Darling, if a fire burns down, it can kill at least a few hundred people. If the terrain is suitable, it is easy to kill thousands of people." The old wolf licked his nose and kicked the two rat scouts hard.
"Hurry up and report to Mr. Liu. Just tell him that this kid is a treasure and ask him what to do... He has already walked in... It's all your fault for being too slow to lead the way!"
A rat scout turned around and ran away, disappearing without a trace.
Four wolf warriors stood at the door of the stone castle, staring blankly at the mist-filled place, and they did not dare to go in.
Wu Tie strode into the mine, with a faint golden light shining in his eyes. For some reason, he suddenly read aloud an article he had never learned before.
"The heaven and earth have righteousness, and are mixed and endowed with manifolds..."
Wherever he strode, the gray mist in the air collapsed inexplicably, disintegrated, and never appeared again.
