"Oh, so you made a special trip to ambush at the entrance of the cave, wanting to rob the newcomers here, and do these things that seek for money, kill people, and kill people for money?" Liu Ming said with a smile, intentionally or unintentionally fiddling with the original. The bone knife belongs to the other party.
"Friends of Daoist forgive me! I just don’t know Mount Tai. If you know that your strength is so amazing, how can you come and offend him if you can’t hide. The main reason is that it’s near the end of the month. I don’t have much ore this month. After I exchanged for the medicine, there was not much left, so I waited near the entrance of the cave to try my luck to see if I could meet some newcomers and grab some artifacts to exchange for some food to wrap my stomach." The skinny man smelled. Yan, a pair of thin arms swayed quickly in his heart and explained.
"Listen to what you mean, it seems like there are not too many new miners here?" Liu Ming ignored the man's begging 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 the ore. In the past few years, I was newly arrested because of the shrinking forces of the Sea Monster Emperor. There are a lot fewer mine slaves than before. In the past, several mine slaves were escorted by guards every month and dropped from the entrance of the cave. Now there is no one for a month or two." The skinny man sighed lightly and began to say again.
"In other words, the people who stay here now are mostly old people who have been here a few years earlier?" Liu Ming asked thoughtfully.
"It's true. The environment here is bad, food and other resources are scarce, and there are frequent disputes between forces. Therefore, people who can survive in this place now are mostly people with extraordinary temperaments, except for those with higher physical training or higher realm. As for those weak and small... they are not attached to certain forces or individual strong ones in the mine, and naturally they have been buried somewhere in the mine." The thin man replied honestly.
When Liu Ming asked, he finally had a general understanding of the situation in the mine.
Although this skinny man was not good looking, he knew a lot about this place, so he saved a lot of time.
Seeing Liu Ming standing on the spot, the skinny man was silent, propped with one hand on the ground, slowly moved his body back, and asked cautiously:
"My lord, everything I know is known to be inexhaustible, then I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Ming glanced at the man faintly, and suddenly a ray of crystals flashed across his pupils.
The skinny man only felt a "buzz" in his brain, and a powerful mental force suddenly rushed into the sea of consciousness, so that he did not scream, and immediately slumped to the ground again with white eyes, no more for a while. Other feelings.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Liu Ming's mouth. He pinched the tactics with one hand without stopping, and hit another tactics at the man. In the blink of an eye, a black light fell between the thin man’s eyebrows, and his body trembled, slowly. Sat up.
Looking at the dull eyes of the skinny man, Liu Ming's face showed a trace of satisfaction.
In the next time, in order to ensure that the other party did not hide anything from him, Liu Ming used some simple ecstasy techniques to ask the same question again.
After confirming that there were no false statements and no omissions, he leaned down and smashed 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 pumping up a few times, but after showing a trace of unwillingness, his two eyes became stagnant, and his life was completely lost.
After Liu Ming rolled up everything on the opponent's body, he raised his hand and punched a big hole on the ground, kicked the corpse into it, and shook his sleeve before burying it in a hurry. After that, he looked at two passages not far from here, after a little hesitation, he sneaked forward along one of the passages.
Knowing how difficult it is to draw mana here, he naturally didn't bother to waste precious mana and release a fireball to destroy the corpse.
…
Half an hour later, in the mine tunnel, in the remote place where Liu Ming was previously, the body of the skinny man was dug out again, lying on the ground covered in mud.
Under the faint light emitted by the few cyan fluorites inlaid on the cave wall, his distorted face due to his dying struggle looked particularly strange.
"It turned out to be the second child of Sha. Tsk, if it weren't for Brother Shi's sharp nose, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find it. But the person who started it is really straightforward. His elder brother knows this, I am afraid that he will go crazy." One of the tall figures checked. After a lot of corpses, he said with surprise.
"It's not too far from the exit here. When we went to hand in the ore before, we didn't find some traces of the fight not far below the exit. Obviously this second Sha was mostly killed by a newcomer. Yes." A shorter figure next to him said so.
"Hey, most of this guy wanted to blackmail the newcomer and get some benefits, but he didn't want to be killed. But he really didn't want to steal the chicken." Another slightly fat figure said with a sneer in his eyes. .
"Brother Gu, how do we deal with this matter? Seeing that the corpse is still soft, it shouldn't be long before the person died. With your tracking ability, you should still have a lot of chance to catch up with this person. This is a great opportunity to sell the sand lunatic a favor. "The shorter figure earlier asked toward the tall figure.
"Hmph, forget it. Although the cultivation base is not high, Lao Sha is not a weak person, and can stay here for so long, it is not an easy one. Since the newcomer can catch him so easily, and catch him here, he will be treated. Obviously, it is not an ordinary person. This matter, we still shouldn't mix it up, so as not to grow out of it." The tall figure hesitated for a while, still shook his head.
Although the others felt a little pity after hearing this, they nodded.
So I didn't ask any questions, and walked directly over the corpse and left for another passage.
Half a day later, the corpse was discovered by another group of mining slaves passing by, and it finally spread in this underground world.
…
At this moment, Liu Ming is walking slowly in a dim mine tunnel. Not only is there an extra bone knife on his waist, but his clothes become tattered and stained with a lot of mud, which looks very good. Old look.
He is now dressed up, a lively mine slave who has stayed here for a long time. I don't think anyone can easily see through his rookie identity.
In his hand he was holding a pale yellow animal skin map. The content in the picture was so crude that it outlined a rough outline of an underground mine, so that every time he walked to a bifurcation, he needed to stop and carefully identify it. .
During the journey, Liu Ming kept looking at both sides of the passage and found that the rough gray-white stone walls were full of pits and grooves, but there was no ore inside. It had been collected for many years.
Liu Ming was not surprised at all, and continued to move forward.
After all, this place is still near the exit. According to the skinny man earlier, the ore here has been collected a long time ago. To find the ore, you must go deeper into the vein to get something.
What made him frown secretly is that as he continued to advance further, with such a powerful mental power, he couldn't reach out too far after he was separated from the body, and he would consume it at an astonishing speed.
In this way, unless something suspicious was reached, he naturally wouldn't dare to release his mental power easily.
After all, in this crisis-ridden underground world, if you save more strength, you might be able to save a small life at a critical time.
He walked in this way for about half a cup of tea, but saw the light flashing at the end of the passage not far ahead, and he reached a three-way intersection again, and the stone wall near the intersection was inlaid with a few pieces of worthlessness. The cyan fluorite exudes a faint white light.
However, as soon as Liu Ming entered this intersection, his face suddenly changed, and his body suddenly slid to one side without moving his feet.
At this moment, with a "whoop" above his head, a black iron rod slammed down at an alarming speed, almost rubbing Liu Ming's body and sweeping diagonally.
A loud noise of "boom" reverberated throughout the passage, causing a burst of dust in the sky. After the dust dissipated, a huge hole was created out of thin air on the ground where Liu Ming had stood before.
After Liu Ming's body shook, he appeared five or six feet away, and then coldly looked at a thin figure out of thin air on the edge of the big pit.
"Even so! I didn't expect that you are a newcomer, but you are quite capable." Seeing this scene, the newly-appearing thin figure whispered to himself somewhat unexpectedly. This will be huge and completely inconsistent with his body shape. The iron rod was lifted easily, waved it and carried it on his shoulder, then raised his head and looked at Liu Ming with some curiosity.
Liu Ming naturally saw the other party clearly. He was actually a young man wearing a gray cloth with a yellowish face and a sickly sick face. His facial features were fairly correct, but he had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He seemed to be about the same age as him. He was using a lazy look. Look at him up and down.
"How do you know that I am 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 faintly.
“It’s impossible for everyone to know each other, but I’ve lived here for so long, and most of the people I’ve seen usually have some impressions. Besides, although you have deliberately dressed up, anyone who has lived here for more than a year , Who is not a person with a pale face and weak aura, how can he still maintain a strong spiritual aura." The thin young man said hehe, disapprovingly.
"So it turns out that Xia was negligent. In Xia Liu Ming, you are also a human cultivator, you don't know your surname." After Liu Ming nodded, he seemed to ignore the attack just now, and instead 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 opportunities in the future. In addition, if you can escape my blow, you are also eligible to live here. In addition, I will give you a piece of advice, no matter what Where did you get the map in your hand, but generally you can only believe in the deeper passages in the first half and the second half. After a period of time, a part of it will be added or disappeared." The thin young man sneered and finished speaking. As soon as the shape shook, it turned into a black shadow and disappeared into another channel.
