Facing Long Yu's words, Huo Yuanbai knew that this boy was very smart, but he couldn't get anything out of him, so he didn't ask any more questions and just drank and ate meat with the two of them.
After the meal, Huo Yuanbai arranged accommodation for the two of them, and Long Yu and Ren Pingfan said goodbye and left.
"How about it, Brother Long, what do you think of General Huo?"
Ren Pingfan asked Long Yu with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.
"The general is a good man."
Long Yu didn't say much, just smiled and said this.
"Hehe, more than that. General Huo was already the chief commander of the Demon Nightmare Army when I was just born. That year, he slaughtered all the invaders from Ghost Evil County and buried tens of thousands of Ghost Evil County martial artists in the Demon Nightmare Mountains. It was very satisfying!"
It seems that the little fat guy has a very good impression of Huo Yuanbai, and Huo Yuanbai should be a powerful general who is loyal to Shura County. If not, the King of Shura County would not have entrusted the important task of protecting the Demon Nightmare Mountains to Huo Yuanbai.
After parting with Huo Yuanbai, there was no conversation that night.
Early the next morning, several martial artists from the Tianren Secret Realm came over to arrange a destination for Long Yu and Ren Pingfan.
The two finally parted ways. Before leaving, the little fat man pulled Long Yu's arm and said, "Little brother Long, after I take office, I will always send people to keep an eye on you. If there is any danger, I will know it soon. You just try to hold on... Of course, there shouldn't be too much danger in the Demon Nightmare Mountains. Recently, those people in Guixie County seem to be very well behaved."
"Okay, thank you for troubling me, Fatty."
Long Yu said with a smile. He no longer called the other person by his name, but simply called him Fatty Brother. It can be seen that the little fat guy still likes to call him that.
After Ren Pingfan was taken away, he naturally had to prepare to take up the position of guest military advisor. Although it was just a figurehead position, he would still have some authority, so it would not be a problem to arrange one or two people to monitor Long Yu.
As for Long Yu, wearing a ghost face mask, followed a martial arts soldier from the Tianren Secret Realm to leave the mountain and fly through the Demon Nightmare Mountains. After flying for thousands of feet, they arrived at the foot of another mountain.
Looking up at the mountain, Long Yu could feel that the mountain was faintly filled with a richer spiritual energy of heaven and earth. On the mountain, at a glance, he could see many martial artists digging something on it.
"Brother Shan Gui, this is the Japanese mining area. I brought you here according to the general's order. Take the general's order and go up the mountain to find the Vulture Mining Team and join them."
The person who led the way said something to Long Yu, and then handed him an envelope, which was General Huo Yuanbai's handwritten letter.
"Thank you very much."
Long Yu nodded to the man, then turned and walked towards the top of the mountain.
The man left on his own.
Long Yu walked all the way to the top of the mountain and found that there were almost no roads on this mountain. Many miners flew up directly from the air, and each mining team had its own range of activities and could not walk around randomly.
If you take a wrong step, you may face a conflict.
Although they are all martial artists from Shura County, wherever there are people, there will be differences in interests and conflicts.
Once they go to the wrong territory, a fight is likely to break out, and the legion led by Huo Yuanbai will not pay attention to such a fight.
Each mining team only needs to hand over half of their harvest to the legion that Huo Yuanbai is in. As for the remaining half, they can use it by themselves or exchange it with the legion that Huo Yuanbai is in for what they need, such as elixirs, finished combat soldiers, etc.
The three mining areas on Sun and Moon Star are all free mining areas, which means that the people who mine here are adventurers and martial artists who come from all over Shura County.
The Demonic Nightmare Legion led by Huo Yuanbai naturally has another dedicated mining area, which ordinary people are not qualified to enter.
The things produced in the Legion Mining Area are naturally much better. However, the Sun Mining Area that Long Yu came to recently has also produced a lot of good things, which are very valuable, and has attracted many more martial artists to come here to hunt for treasures.
Of course, these new martial artists had to be arranged by Huo Yuanbai's men. Otherwise, if they were allowed to wander around freely, it would not be good if bloodshed occurred everywhere.
Although Huo Yuanbai did not prevent competition, he also did not want to allow vicious competition to occur among these martial artists.
Long Yu flew up into the air, holding General Huo Yuanbai's handwritten letter, and soon arrived at the side of the mountain, on a mountain platform.
At a glance, you can see many people sitting on the platform in the mountains to rest and chat with each other.
As soon as they saw Long Yu flying towards the mountain platform, the group of people cast vigilant eyes at him. After all, Long Yu's purpose was unclear, and the most suspicious thing was that he was wearing a mask.
Seeing Long Yu flying closer and closer, the leader of the group, a burly man wearing a golden pendant, stood up and looked at Long Yu like a gangster: "Where are you from? What are you doing here?"
"My name is Shan Gui, and the general arranged for me to come here."
Long Yu said directly.
"What did I hear? Haha, which general are you talking about?"
The burly man laughed as if he had heard a joke.
"Of course it's General Huo."
As Long Yu spoke, he landed in front of the burly man. He took a look at him and found that he was a martial artist in the Tianhua realm with a very powerful aura.
"Boy, do you know who we are? How dare you talk nonsense here?"
Before the burly man could say anything, a thin and sharp-tongued martial artist beside him said sarcastically, "With your cultivation level at the Talent Tribulation Realm, how could you possibly meet General Huo?"
"Besides, we are in the Japanese mining area."
The burly man then said in a deep voice: "Perhaps you have come to the wrong place?"
When he said this, the burly man's eyes flashed with hostility, and it was obvious that he had no intention of welcoming Long Yu at all.
"See for yourself."
Long Yu raised his hand and threw General Huo Yuanbai's handwritten edict out.
The burly man was afraid that it was a hidden weapon, so he carefully gathered his mysterious energy and caught the envelope. When he found out that it was not a hidden weapon, he opened the envelope.
Just one look and the burly man's expression changed slightly.
"General Huo really arranged this personally. What bad luck. There are so many good things these days. Can the garbage from the human world come to the Japanese mining area?"
The burly man cursed, "Mountain ghost, huh? Since you were personally arranged by the general, then follow our Vulture Squad. But I have to make it clear in advance, don't think that just because you were personally arranged by the general, you can be lazy when doing things!"
"I will do what I should do."
Long Yu said lightly, stepped forward, and prepared to rest for a while on this mountain platform.
He looked around and found that besides him, there were fifteen people on the mountain platform, all of them were heavenly realm martial artists.
These fifteen people are now resting on this mountain platform. Behind the mountain platform, there is a mountain wall with a big hole dug out of it. It seems that this is where the Vulture Team is mining.
"Boy, is this your first time in the Nightmare Mountains?"
A middle-aged man who looked quite kind walked up to Long Yu with a smile and said, "Our team is about to start work, and we are just short of one person. You can come in with us."
"good."
Long Yu thought for a moment and nodded.
He didn't know how the ore was mined here, so it was necessary for him to follow a team. Since the middle-aged man looked kind, he might as well go with him.
"Brothers, let's go."
The middle-aged man turned around and greeted them, and then four people stood up, with some inexplicable smile on their faces, and came to him.
Including Long Yu, there were six people in total, walking towards the mine.
"Brother, your name is Shan Gui? Why are you wearing a mask? Do you have any enemies?"
The middle-aged man walked beside Long Yu, laughing as he walked, and asked, "You don't have to worry here. No one dares to openly seek revenge under General Huo, unless there is a conflict over mining."
Long Yu glanced at him sideways and felt that although this man was kind, there seemed to be a hint of temptation in his words, which made him feel a little wary.
Long Yu thought to himself that he wore a mask to prevent the spies from the Shura Valley from spreading the news that he was still alive, not to prevent someone from seeking revenge...
However, it is naturally impossible to explain such things to such a person.
"My name is Deng Yuan."
The middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile, and then said: "When you start working later, remember to use your strongest strength. The mountain in the Sun Mine is extremely hard. Even for us, the martial artists in the Heaven Realm, we have to spend 70% of our strength to barely blast it open and dig in little by little. It's really not a good thing for you to be assigned to the Sun Mine. You may be busy for several months and get nothing."
"Well, I'll try it later."
Long Yu nodded.
Deng Yuan's words surprised Long Yu a little. He didn't expect that the mountain of the Demon Nightmare Mountain was so hard that even a martial artist at the Heavenly Realm could barely blast it open.
However, Long Yu was not worried about not gaining anything. You have to know that his true strength has definitely surpassed the human tribulation realm, and may have reached the heavenly tribulation realm.
In a life-and-death battle, even a strong person in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm might not be a match for Long Yu.
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this mine is so rich. It seems that Shu Chan arranged for me to come here because he really wanted me to practice quickly."
Long Yu felt the breath in the mine and felt that the spiritual energy in it was even richer than that in the outside world. If he practiced here for a long time, his practice speed would increase a lot.
It’s a pity that the main purpose of most martial artists coming to the Nightmare Mountains is not to practice, but to mine and search for treasures!
The entire mine is crooked, and the walls are mostly made of hard boulders, with a small part of them showing shiny gray metals. These gray metals are harder than the boulders and have no value.
Basically, once you find grey metal, you can give up on this direction, because it is too difficult for a heavenly realm martial artist to blast open such grey metal.
"Okay, that's it, let's get to work."
The middle-aged man Deng Yuanyi raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop here, and then pointed to a fork in the passage ahead. The fork was a newly opened cave. Their task was to extend the cave further and see if they could dig up any rare treasures.
Long Yu keenly noticed that when Deng Yuan glanced at him, there seemed to be some sinister and cunning in his eyes!
This made Long Yu alert.
