The leading middle-aged man seemed calm on the surface, but from the look in his eyes, he seemed to enjoy the fear and anger of these mine slaves, so he deliberately moved slowly.
Wherever it went, whether it was the small and medium forces, or the people of the two major forces in the middle, they all stepped back silently and gave way.
After a while, a group of guards finally reached the open space of the central square and stopped in front of a stone platform about ten feet high.
The leading middle-aged man did not speak immediately, but looked around for a while.
After seeing a hint of expectation finally appeared in the eyes of the surrounding mine slaves, he nodded with satisfaction, coughing lightly and announced loudly:
"I Chen Gang, hehe, I don’t need to introduce more, you all know me nine out of ten. This time the rules are roughly the same as before, except that the exchange conditions will change slightly this month. You can exchange thirty-five pieces of rare ores for one. The antidote to the Sea Emperor Pill."
As soon as his voice fell, there was an uproar off the court.
"Last month, I obviously exchanged 30 ore for one. Why did you suddenly raise the price without telling me in advance?" I don't know who started yelling.
Upon hearing this, the crowd at the scene became more commotion, and many of the mine slaves whispered for a while, all with different expressions.
Liu Ming glanced calmly and found that the screamers were mostly people from small and medium forces, while the mine slaves belonging to the two major forces were silent. It seemed that the situation was not surprising.
"Yes, now the peripheral mineral veins have long been exhausted, and some of the rich minerals are mostly occupied, and the amount of ore mining is much lower than before."
"Not only that, in recent months, those evil beasts seem to have become a little crazy, and they appear more frequently..."
In some other mine slaves' desperation, people continued to yell.
Chen Gang, standing in front of the stone platform, saw this, his face sank, and suddenly said coldly and loudly:
"Quiet! Are you up to the rules here? Leave early if you don't want to exchange for the antidote! But for those who don't follow the rules, don't blame Chen for being polite."
This voice resounded throughout the audience, and the miner slave who had originally shouted was shocked, and he said nothing, and the huge cave fell silent for an instant.
When Chen Gang saw this, his expression was slightly slow, and he continued:
"Remind everyone, I see that the ore is given the antidote, and I can also receive it for others, but the antidote can only be stored for seven days. Don't want to save it until the next time the poison occurs. If you don’t have enough ore, don’t ask for it at all. It’s boring. Of course, those who have surplus ore can also exchange for some pill talismans and other things here. Okay, this exchange will begin."
After the middle-aged monster guard finished speaking, he took a step back, carrying his hands on his back, and stopped speaking.
In the following time, the guards of the next monster race stepped forward, took out a few storage charms, and released a lot of spirit stones and talisman pills on the stone platform, and then signaled the scene. Everyone stepped forward to exchange.
The most of them are hundreds of small green bottles that seem to be the same, which is obviously the so-called Sea Emperor Pill antidote.
At first, there was silence in the cave, and the miner slaves of many small and medium forces were silent, just looking at the two groups occupying the east and west ends of the square.
But these mine guards didn't see any surprises, they just stood near the stone platform and sneered, without any urge.
However, after a while, the Jinlin woman named "Tongming" was the first to be surrounded by two people from the sea tribe, and on behalf of her power, she exchanged a large bag of antidote and some pill talisman, and the "tiemeng" "The old man of the demon clan, then on behalf of the Iron League people came forward to exchange.
In an instant, the antidote and other items on the stone platform were less than a half.
After receiving their antidote for the month, the people of the two major forces left the two passages next to the cave like a gust of wind, presumably they wanted to take the antidote immediately so that they could return to the depths of the vein as soon as possible.
The large areas left by the two forces after they left were immediately occupied by other forces, and at this time, there were only about two-thirds of the people in the cave compared to the previous ones.
After that, other small and medium-sized forces also stepped forward one after another, and began to step forward to exchange them.
But in front of the stone platform, after one guard took the bag of the changer, the other guard handed a black leather bag containing the antidote to the opponent.
In addition to the 35 rare ores needed for the antidote of the Sea Emperor's Pill, the excess ores can be exchanged for spirit stones at a ratio of one to twenty. Some other low-level talismans and elixirs require a few pieces of ores. Exchange for a copy.
Such an exchange ratio, if placed outside, is simply unimaginable, but in this place, everyone can only accept it silently except for a few words in their hearts.
Therefore, in addition to the previous two large and powerful forces, the other small and medium forces rarely exchange other items, even if they do, they are exchanged for some spirit stones.
After all, in the special environment of this place, spirit stones are extremely scarce. At the moment of life and death, one more mana will give you a chance to save your life.
The exchange has been going on in a rather strange atmosphere.
Although many people from small and medium forces stepped forward, looking at the guards, especially the leader named "Chen Gang", their faces were gloomy, but the whole process was still orderly.
"Boss, there are four of us, why did you only exchange three antidote?" Suddenly a voice of doubt broke the calm in the cave.
The sound came from an alien youth with purple lips in the corner of the cave, and the head of the four was a big man with a hanging eyebrow. He just took a bag of ore but only returned to the appearance of three antidote.
"Brother Weng Xian, there is no other way. I never expected Chen Gang to raise the price privately. There are more than 20 ore left here. You should think of a solution yourself." It was also quite a headache. After tossing a bag to the thin young man, it looked like I had tried my best and there was no other way.
After the young man surnamed Weng saw the dull expressions of the other two companions, a look of disappointment flashed across his face. He immediately picked up the bag without saying more, and took out the bone sword and spirit stone on his waist. Wu, began to find some other forces to figure out how to collect ore.
The same scene continued to be staged during this period.
Many small gangs had to abandon their weak companions because they could not gather enough ore.
Among these abandoned people, some were embarrassed and left, and some suddenly became angry with their comrades after they suddenly learned the news, and wanted to take back a detoxification pill, but they were killed by their previous comrades.
Chen Gang, who was standing behind the stone platform, watched the scene in front of him with a smile, completely gloating.
However, some gangs that still have spare capacity began to take advantage of the price of ore to collect partners and expand their power.
The previously unfamiliar young man with a huge iron rod on his shoulders used an antidote to collect a human companion in the initial stage of the Condensate Realm, and then left with the rest of them through the passageway on one side.
When passing by Liu Ming, this person also smiled deeply at Liu Ming.
…
Standing in place, Liu Ming quietly observed a cup of tea kung fu. When he saw that only one-third of the people were left on the court, he touched his chin, and finally joined the huge leather bag nearby.
While waiting here before, he had quietly scanned the ore in the bag with his mind and found that adding the ore previously obtained from the five sea people, at this moment it has a total of about two hundred pieces, but its quality Most of them are common and rare ores similar to hydrosphysite.
However, this amount has already surprised the guards.
And Chen Gang, when facing Liu Ming who had been sent into the mine not long ago, he didn't blink, and he looked indifferent.
With a thought, Liu Ming immediately exchanged three antidote with the guard in front of him, and at the same time exchanged the excess ore for some low-level pills and talisman.
The reason why he did this was naturally planning to study two more detoxification elixirs.
After Liu Ming finished changing things, he immediately refused to stay here, and left the exchange area from the previous passageway without saying a word.
On the way back to the depths of the vein, nothing happened all the way.
Two days later, Liu Ming finally returned to the original abandoned passage based on the self-made animal skin map.
After confirming that no one had entered his temporary cave during this period, he slapped the leather bag on his waist and released the bone scorpion on alert again.
But he turned around and entered the cave, sat down on the ground, and after taking a mana-restoring pill, he began to meditate and adjust his breath.
An hour later.
Liu Ming woke up from meditation, Dang Even took out the leather bag containing the antidote from his waist, and took out an antidote to the Sea Emperor Pill.
But the medicine of opinion is like the sea emperor pill previously swallowed in a huge boat. It is small in size and black. The surface exudes a faint brilliance, and there is a faint fragrance coming, which makes people can't help but smell it. Give a win.
"This is the antidote for that Sea Emperor Pill! But it can only restrain the toxicity for one month, if you know its ingredients..." Liu Ming muttered thoughtfully, looking at the black pill in his hand.
Based on the information obtained so far, this black Sea Emperor Pill antidote can temporarily suppress the erosion of the internal organs caused by the black mist of the Sea Emperor Pill.
When Liu Ming learned the art of alchemy from Fan Baizi in Xuanjing, he once heard this alchemy master specifically mention the experience of such a temporary antidote.
In order to achieve the purpose of controlling the poisoner, this kind of antidote is nothing but two possibilities.
One is that although the antidote contains a small amount of symptomatic elixir, it also contains a small amount of the same ingredients as the poison. While suppressing the onset of toxicity, it also lays the opportunity for the next attack. Under such repetition, the toxicity accumulates day by day. Eventually become a major disaster.
The second is that this kind of antidote is not a detoxification elixir, but another overbearing poison. It only temporarily suppresses the toxicity with poison for a while. Over time, the two toxicities are combined into one, and naturally the same consequences endless.
