"Auntie, I feel... from now on, the family may no longer be able to mine fire cloud stones from that mine." On the way back to Black Cloud City, Nie Tian was silent for a long time. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and put all his speculations into words. tell.
In the evening, the sunset passed through the gaps in the dense trees and fell tenaciously on the stone path in the forest.
Nie Qian, who was in a hurry, suddenly paused after hearing his words.
She stared at Nie Tian with a suspicious face, her eyes gradually became serious and serious, "What did you say? The family has mined the fire cloud stone in the mine for many years, and the Lingyun Sect's Qi Refiners recently re-explored it. , saying that at our rate, we can still exploit it for at least several more decades, how could it suddenly be cut off?"
The fire cloud stone in the mine can be said to be the lifeblood of the Nie family. It is through the mining of fire cloud stone that the Nie family can obtain the protection of Lingyun Sect.
Once the Nie family loses this role, the Nie family will be useless to Lingyun Sect.
Even if Nie Beichuan becomes the clan leader now, and even if she and Nie Donghai become unpopular within the clan, she is absolutely unwilling to see the entire Nie family abandoned by the Lingyun Sect.
"I'm sorry." Nie Tian lowered his head, took out the piece of animal bone, and said in an apologetic tone: "It's all because of it. It condensed that drop of blood inside, and the power of the flames it needed came from all the blood in the mine. Fire Cloud Stone! It successfully condensed a drop of blood, but drained the flame power of all Fire Cloud Stones in the mine. I really think that all Fire Cloud Stones have become mortal stones. Even if they are mined, the fire cloud stones in those ores will There will no longer be a trace of fire power."
"One drop of blood condenses and absorbs the flame power of all fire cloud stones. How... how is this possible?" Nie Qian was horrified.
"That's how I feel." Nie Tian smiled bitterly.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Nie Qian shook her head repeatedly, as if you were overthinking.
"Forget it if you don't believe it." Nie Tiantian said angrily.
"I won't argue with you anymore. It's getting dark soon. We need to return to Black Cloud City as soon as possible." Nie Qian looked forward. "Such a big thing happened in the mine. I want to inform your grandpa of the situation and let him advance." Be mentally prepared.”
"Okay then." Nie Tian said no more.
Afterwards, the two stopped arguing and headed straight towards Black Cloud City.
A quarter of an hour later, just as they were about to pass through the dense forest, Nie Qian suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Nie Tian asked confused.
Nie Qian's expression was solemn, and even her breathing became rapid. Waves of spiritual power fluctuations that even Nie Tian could detect, centered on her, rippled outward like ripples in water.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The leaves in the forest move in the calm wind.
"Nie Tian! Turn around immediately and run to Lingyun Mountain as fast as possible!" Nie Qian shouted.
"Wow!"
The silver bracelets on her arms suddenly came out of her hands, blooming with bright silver light and flying towards the back of the two big trees in front.
"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"
From behind the two big trees, there was a sudden sound of metal clashing, accompanied by two deep, weird laughs.
As soon as those two laughed, Nie Tian's expression changed drastically, and he instantly realized that something was wrong.
"Let's go!" Nie Qian grunted, then screamed loudly.
She turned to look at Nie Tian, her eyes filled with fear and her expression extremely anxious.
"call!"
Several silver bracelets flew out of her hands, spinning and shooting out from behind the two big trees at a faster speed.
Behind the silver bracelet, two men in blue walked out one after another with smiles on their faces.
"Run? Where can he run?" One of them gave Nie Tian a cold look.
"Bang!"
At this moment, those silver bracelets flying backwards hit a wall of water that Nie Qian had condensed with her spiritual power.
Nie Qian's delicate body suddenly took two steps back. Those silver bracelets hung like pendants on the water wall and did not fall to the ground immediately.
She reached out and grabbed the silver bracelets, then looked at the two men in blue with a pale face, "I saw you in Black Cloud City!"
She clearly remembered that a few months ago, among the many strangers wandering around Nie's house, there were the two people in front of her.
She immediately realized that the reason why these two people were here must be because of Yuan Qiuying and the dispute in front of Lingbao Pavilion last time.
"They are all dead anyway, and our brothers are not afraid to tell you that we are here at the request of Mrs. Yuan." Another man in blue said with a grin.
"It is indeed her!" Nie Qian gritted her teeth.
"Second brother, go kill that brat first. This woman..." The man in blue with a thin scar at the corner of his eye suddenly had a weird smile on his lips, "Leave her to me. Mrs. Yuan has ordered, I can't let her die happily, take money from others, and eliminate disasters for others, I must satisfy Mrs. Yuan."
The other man smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Brother, I will come to you later after I kill that kid."
"Sensible, haha!"
The two of them were teasing without restraint, obviously not taking Nie Qian and Nie Tian seriously. From their point of view, Nie Tian and Nie Qian were already dead.
"He is still a child, please let him go!" Nie Qian begged, "Whatever Yuan Qiuying gave you, I will give it to you three times after I return to the family. The Nie family's heritage is still there, please believe me!"
The test just now made her understand that the two men in blue in front of her were at least in the middle stage of acquired cultivation, and they both had extremely obvious evil spirits on their bodies, which meant that they were not just practicing hard. A spirit warrior, but a ferocious person who grew up in killing.
She knew in her heart that she could not compete with either of the two.
"We two brothers have received favors from the Yuan family before, and we repay the favor." The man with the scar at the corner of his eye smiled, touched his chin and said, "Besides, I quite like your appearance, so just accept your fate."
As soon as these words came out, Nie Qian knew that she might not be able to survive today, so she couldn't help but scream: "Nie Tian! Run away!"
"Ding ding!"
She flicked her hands, and the silver bracelets collided with each other, sending out harsh roars and flying towards the two people opposite them at an even more alarming speed.
"It's said that the Nie family is not as good as before, and it's true." The leader of the man shook his head, looked at the silver bracelets that came quickly, and said, "As the eldest lady of the Nie family, Yun Zhiguo's former My wife is only using this low-level spiritual weapon."
While taunting, a bronze prismatic round shield was raised by him.
"call!"
Red-yellow light waves bloomed from the shield surface, and the fine and complicated patterns became clear and dazzling as the light was released.
"Gravity shock!"
The leading man snorted coldly, and the gravity field around him seemed to increase several times in an instant.
The silver bracelets that roared towards them suddenly sank to the ground due to the huge changes in the gravity field!
"Second brother, although we have carefully checked before, there is no guarantee that someone will still pass by. We need to solve it as soon as possible!"
"Brother, I will kill that little brat right now!"
The other person agreed, stopped looking at Nie Qian, and suddenly came towards Nie Tian.
The silver bracelets flying towards him were about to land due to the sudden change in gravity and could not pose any threat to him.
"Nie Tian! Run away!" Nie Qian yelled crazily.
However, when the man flashed towards him, although Nie Tian's eyes were burning with raging flames of anger, his figure did not move at all.
"With only a fourth-level cultivation of Qi Refining, it's surprising that he can escape under a gravity field five times that of my elder brother's Xuanhuang Shield." The man who came towards Nie Tian said sarcastically with cold eyes.
Hearing what he said, Nie Qian seemed to despair for a moment and shouted hysterically: "I won't let you have it easy even if I die!"
"Hoo ho!"
Nie Tian kept panting, and the spiritual energy in his body crazily converged on his legs. He tried his best to fight against the sudden increase in gravity deep in the earth, trying to move his body.
But the ground beneath his feet seemed to have become a huge magnet, attracting him tightly.
He tried his best, but could not shake the suction force of the earth. His feet felt like they were pressed by boulders, and he could not move.
A manic mood mixed with despair and unwillingness became more and more intense in his heart as the man approached.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the animal bone in his hand seemed to be quickly becoming hot and hot.
