Xiao Ke grabbed the thing in his hand and explained in a very serious voice: "Everyone! Have you seen the thing in my hand? First of all, I want to tell you that it is not a candle.
As for what it is, you don't need to figure it out, just know that it is a dangerous alchemy tool. It was bought from afar by our mine owner, Mr. Waltz, at a great price. Is it to speed up the mining process? To level the mountain under your feet in the shortest possible time - well, whether you believe it or not. "
After hearing the words, everyone couldn't help but whisper, some were surprised, some were suspicious, and some were disdainful.
"cough!"
Xiao Ke coughed lightly, interrupted everyone's doubts, and continued: "I don't care what you think, but if you want to stay and get three times the salary elsewhere, you must learn to use this thing. After you learn it, you have to teach the rest, just like I am doing to you now. Only in this way can you become a member of my team.
What I want to do next is to let you realize the effect and power of this thing in my hand first, and see whether there is a real man in your body or a crying woman. Only real men can stay, and the rest of the weaklings will not be accepted. "
After speaking, Sean took a deep breath, opened the second box on the right, and took out a columnar object about ten centimeters as thick as a finger. Without explaining anything, he inserted it directly into his belt.
Then Sean waved his hand, carefully held the candle-like alchemy tool, and led everyone towards the pile of stones not far away. A round hole was cut out of one of the huge rocks that weighed 1,000 kilograms. Sean pushed the alchemy tool into the hole, which was just big enough to accommodate it, and also exposed the candle-wick-like part of the alchemy tool for a few centimeters.
Didak watched Sean's operation and guessed that the entire stone might have been hollowed out. As he thought about it, his heart beat faster inexplicably.
"Bang bang bang!"
After Sean placed the alchemy tools, he turned to look at the people following him, pointed towards the simple bunker dozens of meters away, and said seriously: "Do you see it there? Wait a moment, I say run, you just They all ran to the back with me, lay down on the ground and hid, and were not allowed to show their heads. They waited until I said it was safe before they could stand up and move around, do you understand?"
Everyone nodded.
Sean was dissatisfied and shouted: "Have your mouths been sewn shut? I want to hear a confirmed answer! Could it be that three times the salary can't let you uncles say a word, or are you all mute?"
"Understood!" Everyone immediately gave a confirmation answer.
Sean was still dissatisfied: "Louder, I didn't hear you!"
"Got it!" Everyone yelled, pulling their necks, and the sound was deafening.
Sean was satisfied, nodded his head, his eyes were solemn, his expression was condensed, and he slowly pulled out the stick-shaped object, which was more than ten centimeters in length, inserted into his belt.
The stick has a sturdy metal shell and an extremely tight lid that took Sean several seconds to open. After opening it, I saw that there seemed to be some slow-burning floc filling inside. After it came into contact with the outside air, there were signs of re-ignition and a vague flame began to form.
Sean waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat slowly, while carefully pointing the emerging flame towards the "candle wick" exposed by the alchemy tool.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Sean's hand was steady, but he moved slowly, constantly approaching the "candle wick". His face was extremely solemn, and he didn't dare to breathe.
This gradually affected other people. Everyone including Didak and Bo Fei became nervous and subconsciously held their breath.
Four seconds, five seconds, six seconds...
"prick!"
The stick in Sean's hand kept getting closer, and finally the flame on it touched the "candle wick". After a faint sound, the candle wick lit up, and then passed downwards at a steady speed - not fast but not slow either. It seemed that it only took a moment to burn out the entire exposed candle wick.
When Sean saw it, he yelled, "Run!"
As he said that, he turned around and ran towards the simple bunker dozens of meters away.
Everyone didn't react for a while. After seeing Sean running several meters, they slowly followed him.
Didak's reaction was much stronger. He suddenly grabbed Bo Fei's arm and started running with all his strength. For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger in his heart, making him feel like he was being stabbed next to him. Sora, the stone stuffed into the alchemy tool is like a monster, trying to stay away as much as possible.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta..."
With the sound of rapid footsteps, a group of people rushed to the low wall of the bunker one after another. Then, under the leadership of Sean, they climbed over and lay down.
"Pu Chi Pu Chi..."
A group of people lay on the ground, gasping for air, and then looked at each other in confusion. To be honest, they had no idea why they were running. Some people couldn't help but raise their heads to see what happened to the stone where the alchemy tool was placed. However, Sean shouted and threw him to the ground.
Bo Fei was also a little curious and wanted to look up, but before he even raised his head ten centimeters, Didak pressed him down hard and pushed him into the soil.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
At this time, Didak was lying tightly on the ground, and he could hear his heart beating at a speed that reached a limit—partly because he ran too fast just now, and partly because of the inexplicable sense of danger.
This sense of danger was like a pair of hands strangling his neck, suffocating him, making him struggle, and making him desperately want to breathe air.
Gradually, the hands pinched closer and closer, making his whole body stiff, and also made him feel extremely clearly the huge rock not far from the bunker, like a beast waking up and roaring up to the sky.
roar!
In a daze, Didak felt that he really heard the sound.
The next moment, there was a "boom", an earth-shattering sound!
Didak felt the whole earth shake, and the world seemed to be suddenly unbalanced, tilting to one side. The sound of "whoosh, whoosh" broke through the air, and the low wall beside him made a muffled sound and shook constantly, as if something was hitting it, as if it was shaken to pieces by a storm and would collapse at any time.
And just when Didak was most worried, everything suddenly became quiet.
It was eerily quiet.
The danger he felt before disappeared, and the hand that was holding his neck was loosened. Didak took a long breath and exhaled, feeling an unprecedented joy and relaxation - unprecedented!
this!
…
After a few seconds.
"Okay, it's safe. Let's all stand up and take a look."
Sean spoke out, pulling everyone lying on the ground to stand up, and looked at the stone where the alchemy tools had been placed. For a moment, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.
I saw a huge boulder with alchemy tools placed in the distance. Under the influence of a mysterious force, it was shattered into pieces and turned into thousands of rubbles falling in all directions - a large part of it hit the front of the low wall of the bunker, and some of it, It flew over the low wall.
It is completely conceivable what would have happened if someone had not hidden behind the low wall just now, or stood up out of curiosity.
Thinking of this, several people's faces turned pale, and a few people's bodies became weak, and they realized in hindsight that they had just walked on the edge of life and death.
Sean spoke up, pointed at the scene in the distance and said, "Did you see it? This is the effect and power of the alchemy items you will use in the future! Let me tell you, this is the smallest one among them. If you join, the alchemy items you will use will The effect and power of props will only be stronger than this, not weaker than this. So now, are you ready to join?"
"this… "
Everyone hesitated, their expressions kept changing, thinking about this serious question. After a while, three people raised their hands to withdraw voluntarily out of rationality or cowardice.
Sean glanced at the three of them, and without any surprise, he said "Get lost", and then kicked out two more people from the team, telling them to get lost as well - the reason was that the two people didn't listen just now, and actually poked their heads in without permission, almost Something happened.
Nearly half of the people were driven away at once.
In the end, Sean was still dissatisfied. His eyes kept scanning the remaining people, as if he was ready to drive away half of them.
At this time, Bo Fei looked at the huge boulder with "no bones left" in the distance. He was a little scared. He swallowed his saliva and whispered to Didak: "Brother Didak, why don't we leave too? Hua Wen didn't lie." Our job is indeed a bit special. If we keep doing it, we may die miserably, and it will be useless no matter how much money we make."
As a result, Didak did not respond after Bo Fei made a sound.
Um
Bo Fei looked at Didak in confusion, and saw that Didak was staring at the shattered rocks in the distance, licking his lips, and there was an indescribable weird excitement in his eyes.
"What a job!" After a while, Didak spoke out and said to Bo Fei with a somewhat fanatical tone, "This job is worth three times the salary elsewhere. Even if I don't give any money and just take care of the food, I I did it too! This job... is the job of real men, it’s so exciting!”
Bo Fei was stunned. Looking at Didak, he suddenly felt a little at a loss: "Brother Didak, you..."
