The seal of the Five Mountains is lifted.
The exit to the outside world reappears.
A group of stone giants were busy at the bottom of the mine. They turned over huge rocks and dug out the smashed bodies of the immortal cultists and fog knife killers, and barely stacked them aside.
Shi Bao, the great-uncle of Shi Fei and Shi Meng, the 20-meter-tall iron giant sat beside the mine, holding his hands on his chest and grinning wildly.
"I told you, that Shi Hui, hey, it's about a slap."
"You brats still can't believe in my strength."
"Why make it so complicated when something can be solved with just one slap?"
Shi Fei and Shi Meng stood in front of Shi Bao with gloomy faces. Shi Bao laughed loudly and his saliva flew all over the two brothers' heads and faces.
Shi Meng clenched his fists, eager to jump up and punch Shi Bao on his big face. But he thought about it for a long time and finally gave up the urge completely.
Shi Fei took a bite of the barbecue and complained to Shi Bao with his teeth bared: "You are amazing... The Hyun Blue Crystal Mine was almost destroyed by your blow. Sure enough, you didn't grow so big in vain."
Shi Bao's face darkened, and he stared at Shi Fei with wide eyes: "What do you mean by this?"
Wu Tie stood aside, also holding a large piece of barbecue and munching on it.
He had swallowed nearly a hundred kilograms of roasted meat, but his abdomen did not bulge at all. Waves of heat continued to flow from the stomach throughout the body, and the outline of the muscles gradually recovered under the originally dry skin.
After hearing Shi Bao's words, Wu Tie said vaguely: "If I guessed correctly, Mr. Shi said that you have grown so big in vain, but you have no brains."
Shi Fei's expression suddenly changed. Shi Bao reached out his right hand as fast as lightning and hit Shi Fei's head with one finger.
There was a loud "dong" sound, and Shi Fei's eyes turned white, and his body staggered a few steps left and right. Finally, he couldn't steady his body, and he sat down on the ground and gasped.
Shi Bao raised his head proudly and said proudly: "Being able to defeat all enemies with one slap... What do I need my brain for? Hahaha, why do I need my brain when pure strength can solve the problem?"
Shi Bao was very proud. He opened his arms and bent them sharply, showing off the extremely developed muscles on his arms.
"Although it doesn't matter whether you have a brain or not, but if you dare to disrespect me... you deserve a beating." Shi Bao grinned, stretched out his hand and poked Shi Fei's big belly hard, and laughed 'haha' He stood up and strode out of the cave.
"Let's go to Dashi City. Now that I'm here, I'll help you clean up those idiots who can't carry you."
"Hmph, betraying the benefits of the entire family in order to live longer for yourself?"
Shaking his head, Shi Bao said sarcastically: "Really... is it so important to live longer?"
Wu Tie grinned at the side, shook his head and continued to eat the meat.
Shi Meng sighed quietly: "Great-uncle, for you giant clan, you are born with a long life... Moreover, you believe that rocks have spirits. Even if you die, you will only merge with the ancestral spirits of the rocks. This is extremely joyful and extremely... A celebration of joy.”
Shi Fei shook his groggy head and stood up from the ground awkwardly. He patted his belly, and the white flesh all over his body rolled violently again.
He sighed: "But we are different."
Shi Fei sighed quietly, and he counted with his fingers: "Power, wealth, beauty, delicious food, gorgeous clothes... so many good things, I haven't enjoyed them all yet."
"If it's those rock dwarf slaves and those wild wandering ratmen, that's it. They don't have much fun living at all, and death doesn't matter."
"But for these elders of the Shi family... they haven't lived enough yet."
"Especially, for someone like Elder Shi Hui, he has already seen the hope of breaking through the Chonglou Realm. As long as he lives a few more years, if he can break through the Chonglou Realm, his lifespan can be extended at least several times, and he can enjoy hundreds more Year."
Shi Fei looked at Shi Bao with a bit of resentment: "They seek immortality. We, the younger generation, can understand... But, they betray their family in exchange for immortality... The Shi family is our Shi family."
Shi Bao waved his fist vigorously: "I'm too lazy to care about your Shi family's affairs... Well, is it enough to kill one Shi Hui? How about killing a few more?"
Shi Fei hurriedly waved his hand: "That's enough, that's enough. Elder Shi Hui is the most urgent... Killing him will be enough to stabilize the family situation. These elders are all powerful. If you kill too many, it will be extremely detrimental to the Shi family's strength." Big damage, the entire Cangyan Territory, after all, is not just one Shi family."
Shi Bao's face twitched and he muttered in a low voice: "You are the only ones in trouble."
Wu Tie was munching on the barbecue without making a sound. This is the internal affairs of the Shi family, no matter what Shi Fei and Shi Meng think, no matter what they do, no matter what the consequences...
These are the internal affairs of the Shi family. As a deacon hired from outside, he is paid to work. Why should he worry about these
Lava grass, he just wants more lava grass now.
After coughing, Wu Tie interrupted Shi Bao: "Master Shi Er, Master Shi Liu, you are actually acting, haha, this is great... Well, the Hell Demon Mine has returned to normal. I will go back to Dashi." City, how much lava grass can you get?"
Shi Bao was not interested in this matter. He held his head high and strode out of the cave.
"Since everything is alright, I will go back first... Whenever you want to deal with people, let me know. Prepare wine and meat, I will be here at your call, hahaha!"
The rock formations under Shi Bao's feet were squirming, and he seemed to be walking on the waves. His huge body actually left an afterimage in the air, but he didn't make much noise. He took a few steps and disappeared without a trace.
It was as if the whole earth was squirming, and it was the squirming earth that was driving his body forward, rather than him running quickly.
Shi Fei and Shi Meng shook their heads helplessly, then looked at each other. They looked at Wu Tie, and finally their eyes fell on the long flag hanging on Wu Tie's belt.
The six-foot-long flag moved automatically without wind. Smoke and clouds were flowing on the surface of the flag. Wisps of faint black smoke continuously flowed out from the surface of the flag, circling and flying around Wu Tie's body. The thin smoke swirled, and Wu Tie's figure became hazy.
Even though Wu Tie was standing less than five meters in front of them, the two were surprised to find that they could not determine Wu Tie's location.
Wu Tie gives people the impression that he is like a mirror, hazy and erratic, and does not look like a real person.
There is no doubt that this long flag is an ancient treasure.
Thinking of the strange scene in the Underworld Mine, and then thinking about Wu Tie's desolate appearance when he joined the Shi family, Shi Fei and Shi Meng can naturally think that this long banner is what Wu Tie found in the Underworld Mine. owned.
Shi Meng blinked, his eyes were a little hot when he saw the long banner.
Shi Fei smiled brightly. He walked up to Wu Tie, wiped his hands vigorously on his clothes, wiped most of the greasy hands off, and then patted Wu Tie's shoulder enthusiastically.
"Xiao Tie, this Hell Demon Mine has actually recovered. You have done a great job."
"Haha, lava grass, you are indispensable."
"Then the amount of lava grass promised on the task list of the Foreign Affairs Department will be doubled for you."
"Well, when things are over in the past few days, my brother and I will host a banquet. We in the Shi family still have several gorgeous sisters who are not married. Then you can get to know each other well."
Shi Fei smiled brightly, and Shi Meng also laughed meaningfully at the side.
As for ancient treasures, the Shi family has no shortage of them. After all, they are one of the three major families in the Cang Yan Domain.
But no one has too much talent.
The issue of the Underworld Mine that the Shi family and the Lu family failed to solve was solved as soon as Wu Tie arrived, and he even got the treasure.
This is talent.
Regardless of whether he solved this matter completely, even if he was lucky enough to pick up the treasure out of thin air
Even if you are lucky, you still have talent.
The Shi family now is not short of treasures, but it is short of people... Very short of people!
…
The elite soldiers Shi Hui left outside the mine, as well as the killers Wu Dao left outside, were all captured alive by Shi Bao and a group of stone giants.
And none of the killers of the fog knife survived.
Shi Fei ran away to nowhere, and Shi Le didn't accompany him either. Wu Tie rode a gray rock lizard and followed Shi Meng back to Big Rock City along with dozens of Shi Meng's guards.
The thick smell of blood filled the entire city, and nearly a hundred corpses were hung with ropes on the gate of Dashi City.
Nearly a hundred corpses, including men and women, old and young, were hung in a row on the city gate with ropes around their necks. The wind blowing from the corridor in the distance roared past, causing the corpses to sway slightly.
Wu Tie stopped the gray rock lizard he was riding and looked up at the people hanging on the city gate.
Shi Meng also stopped his mount, looked up at the corpses, and waved his hands disapprovingly: "Well, they are all the cronies of that old guy Shi Hui in Dashi City. Tsk, I heard that they colluded with the enemies of our Shi family. We want to cooperate inside and outside to conquer Dashi City."
Spreading his hands, Shi Meng smiled and said: "Although we are not here, the soldiers loyal to our Shi family in the city spontaneously killed them."
After blowing a whistle, Shi Meng laughed and said, "Now, the entire Big Rock City is clean and squeaky clean!"
Wu Tie was silent for a while, and then asked Shi Meng: "So, who is Mr. Shi?"
Shi Meng rubbed his chin and looked at Wu Tie with a proud smile: "The second brother, of course, is not the same as me... All the Shi family members know that I was the one who chased him away from Dashi City because of my fight for power. Well, anyway, now I alone have the final say in Dashi City, it’s that simple.”
Narrowing his eyes and sighing, Shi Meng shook his head: "I have a bad temper and like to use violence to solve problems, so this time... of course I will be the target. The second brother and the third child will stay behind to stab him. Better."
Wu Tie said nothing again.
No matter what plans Shi Fei, Shi Meng, and Shi Le, who joined later, had.
This is all the internal affairs of the Shi family and has nothing to do with him, Wu Tie. The main purpose of his coming to the Shi family was to provide resources for cultivation.
In addition, Wu Tie now has no feelings for the Shi family, and he has no friendship with Shi Fei, Shi Meng and others.
He didn't want to put too much thought into the Shi family's internal strife.
What does this have to do with him
The wind blew, and several corpses hanging on the city gate swayed, and their heads knocked on the city wall little by little, making a "knock-knock" sound.
The gate of Dashi City opened, and a group of fully armed soldiers came out. Shi Meng laughed loudly and waved forward happily: "Brothers, from now on, Master Liu and I will be the masters of Dashi City!"
"Follow me, Mr. Six, from now on. I'll eat the food and drink the spicy food. Hehe..."
Shi Meng deliberately amplified his laughter, and the rumble of laughter spread far and wide around him.
Three hours later, Wu Tie was sitting in the practice room of the main building of a large courtyard that had been reassigned to him. There were twelve boxes made of fine steel neatly stacked in front of him.
In each box are ten lava grasses, a total of one hundred and twenty.
The reward for the task of exploring the source of the mutation in the Underworld Mine was sixty lava grasses. Shi Fei promised Wu Tie double the reward, and Shi Meng fulfilled his promise.
One hundred and twenty lava grasses gathered together, and the heat was billowing in the practice room, which was tens of meters long and wide. Even Wu Tie couldn't help but sweat profusely, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Wu Tie closed the boxes tightly and started calculating with his fingers.
With one hundred and twenty lava grasses, it is not a problem to reach the peak of foundation building. He even had the margin to follow Lao Tie's suggestion and deliberately suppress the breakthrough in realm to lay a solid foundation.
"Resources... time... and strength." Wu Tie recalled the embarrassing situation when he was chased by Bo Xi but had no power to fight back when he returned to the Underworld Mine.
Especially the magic spell that Bo Xi released at the end, which caused large-scale damage. If Shi Bao hadn't rescued him, Wu Tie would have been killed by that move.
Therefore, strength is the most important thing.
Taking out a piece of lava grass, Wu Tie was about to take it when a low scolding sound suddenly came from outside the practice room.
"Old Baimao, what are you doing here?"
After returning to Dashi City, Shi Meng gave Wu Tie a new house.
When the people from the Foreign Affairs Department sent Wu Tie the lava grass, they also came with a warrant from Shi Meng.
Because Big Rock City lost a group of middle and high-level people, Wu Tie, the first-class deacon of the Foreign Affairs Department, was appointed by Shi Meng as the centurion of the city defense team, and a hundred capable warriors from the wolf tribe and lizard people were included. He killed Wu Tie's men.
Now, in addition to Wu Tie, one hundred soldiers under his name also live here in this big house.
Now, there are two wolf warriors and two lizard warriors guarding outside his training room.
After a loud shout, there was the sound of a long knife cutting through the air.
Lao Bai's screams came through the thick stone door. Wu Tie put down the lava grass in his hand and shouted loudly: "Is it Lao Bai? Let Lao Bai come in..."
The sound of the long knife cutting through the air suddenly stopped. Wu Tie walked to the stone door, pulled out the three fine steel door bolts, and opened the thick stone door. Lao Bai sneaked in sneakily.
