The middle-aged man handed Ye Ming a photo stone and a wind lantern, pointed to the stone steps and said: "After going down, you will see fifteen natural caves with numbers marked on them. You are the first to come, so Go explore in Cave No. 1, and if you find anything, record it with a photo stone. If you don’t find anything, come back quickly."
Ye Ming took the things, nodded, strode forward, and soon disappeared. A cold light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he activated a communication talisman and whispered: "The boy has passed, and the rest is left to you. Clean it up for me and don't leave any clues."
After saying that, the communication talisman turned into flying ash, and he returned to his seat with a sneer.
After going down the steps, there is a slightly wider rocky ground. Ye Ming did not turn on the light, he walked silently in the darkness, hundreds of true auras turning into silk threads and wandering outside the body. These Zhengang have functions similar to spiritual thoughts. No matter what they come into contact with, they can accurately feedback it to Ye Ming, which is equivalent to his eyes and ears.
Soon, he found the cave with the word "一" written on it and stepped in without hesitation. This time, his true energy rushed out of the body and condensed into a human-shaped shadow, walking slowly in front. The Zhen Gang figure has keen perception and can warn him immediately no matter what he encounters.
It was very dark inside the cave, without any light. Ye Ming was walking inside without making any sound. Even his breathing and heartbeat were controlled extremely slowly. If you didn't get closer and listen, you wouldn't be able to hear his voice.
After walking about a hundred steps, Ye Ming suddenly stopped, and Zhen Gang's figure continued to move. Suddenly, a cold light shone in the darkness, and four figures rushed towards Zhen Gang's figure from four directions at the same time, bursting out with terrifying murderous intent. Zhen Gang's figure immediately dissipated and returned to Ye Ming's body.
At the same time, Ye Ming raised his hand and shot a level five killing talisman. After he punched out the soft talisman, it was like a sharp arrow and nailed into the cave wall with a "whoosh" sound. Then there was a "boom" and a white killing light lit up. A Bagua Killing Formation was formed, covering the four killers in an instant. Murderous strangulation, and shrill screams came from inside.
After a moment, the killing array dissipated, and four non-human-shaped corpses lay motionless on the ground.
Ye Ming's expression was cold, and he condensed Zhen Gang's figure again, and slowly walked forward. When he passed the killer's corpse, he shook his head slightly. It was a pity that there was nothing valuable on these corpses.
Deeper in the cave a few hundred meters away from Ye Ming, the eight warriors looked very ugly, and the screams were very familiar. They must have come from their companions, and they actually missed it! In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the killers were divided into three groups. The first group was composed of four samurai and carried out the first interception. If it succeeds the best, if not, the second group will continue.
The second group consists of nine warriors and one martial artist. If nine warriors can kill the target, the warrior will not take action. If not, the martial artist will personally take action and kill the target.
If the second group is still unsuccessful, there will be a third group. There are four martial artists in the third group, and they are all eighth-level martial artists, very powerful. In their expectation, if the first two groups of killers failed, then the third group must succeed. Facing four eighth-level martial arts masters, no matter how strong "Long Shaobai" is, he will die in their hands.
"Master, someone wants to kill Long Shaobai, and there are two groups of people behind him. The first group is nine warriors and one martial artist; the second group is four eighth-level martial artists." Beiming warned, "Are you leaving the cave?"
Ye Ming: "It's just a few martial arts masters. Kill them together to save trouble." He didn't worry and continued to move forward.
Finally arriving at the second ambush point, Ye Ming held eight level five killing talismans in his hand with a cold expression. When he was still more than ten meters away from the killer, he lit up the wind lantern and said calmly: "I kept you waiting."
Nine warriors and one martial artist were exposed in the light. Without saying a word, they immediately took action and pounced on Ye Ming like lightning. Ye Ming held the eight killing talismans between his two fingers and flicked them gently.
"call out!"
The eight talismans were shot into the ground, forming a Bagua array. The fifth-level killing talisman he made has another mystery. If eight of them are used at the same time, they can form a more powerful killing array on their own, and the power is as powerful as the seventh-level killing talisman.
"boom!"
Eight killing lights erupted, and they intertwined into one, condensing into a Eight Trigrams Killing Formation. The nine warriors died without even taking a breath, and even their bones were crushed. The martial artist was very strong and activated several weapons to resist, but he was still minced into pieces after a few breaths.
The power of the seventh-level talisman is very strong and can kill a great martial artist. Naturally, the martial artist cannot resist and is killed instantly.
This time the screams were more intensive and shorter. When the four martial arts masters behind heard it, their faces were extremely ugly. They failed again! One of them is the leader of everyone. He said solemnly: "We will use a killing array to deal with him. The target has hidden methods. We must do our best!"
Ye Ming finally approached the third group of killers. He turned the light and shined straight ahead. Soon he saw four masked men in black standing there, all staring at him coldly.
He said coldly: "You really think highly of me, and you actually sent out so many killers. From your mouth, I guess you can't tell who wants to kill me, so you all die!"
"kill!"
The four great martial arts masters did not want to say anything, and immediately moved, and the four martial arts wills locked Ye Ming. The four people formed a powerful killing formation, powerful enough to fight against the great martial artist. It spread like lightning and enveloped Ye Ming in one fell swoop.
Ye Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his hand to launch the seven-level killing formation. There was a sudden "boom", and the killing light rose up, instantly surrounding the four martial artists, and the killing formation of the four collapsed.
"No! Level 7 Killing Formation!" The four of them were shocked and tried their best to save their lives. They had no time to attack Ye Ming, who was close at hand.
Ye Ming used the magic step and rushed out of the killing array. Seeing the killings rolling around, he said calmly: "I guess you won't be able to hold on for long. Can I ask, which killer organization do you belong to?"
No one spoke. The rules of the killer organization were very strict. If the secret was revealed, the whole family would die, so no one dared to speak.
Ye Ming nodded: "As expected, I can't ask anything." After saying that, he threw eight level five killing talismans into the killing array. This seventh-level killing array was immediately upgraded to an eighth-level killing array. The four great martial arts masters inside were instantly turned into flesh and could no longer die.
After killing four people, Ye Ming continued walking in without even looking. This task still needs to be completed, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it when I go back.
"Beiming, I've been walking all this way, but why haven't I found a single spiritual stone?" Ye Ming couldn't help but ask after walking a while further.
Bei Ming: "When the Tianyuan Continent was first formed, all kinds of spiritual energy from heaven and earth were very abundant. Later, the world changed drastically, and many spiritual energy, ancient elixirs, spiritual objects, etc. were buried underground, which created today's spiritual mines. The spiritual stones in the mine are scattered, and only one spiritual stone may be mined from an acre of land."
Ye Ming frowned: "So, the cost of mining spirit stones is not low!"
"Yes. Many times, the mining of spirit stones is left to ordinary people, because the wages are very low." Beiming said, "The spirit mine where the owner is located should be a small mine. The stone is distributed in a disorderly manner, and the mining value is actually not great.”
Ye Ming suddenly lost interest and shook his head: "If it weren't for the mission, I would want to go back now."
As he walked, he spread out the true energy and penetrated the rock for about twenty meters, sensing whether there were spiritual stones hidden inside. After walking more than a hundred steps, he found nothing. He couldn't help but frown: "If this mine is really mined, people will be killed! Even after a hundred steps, there is nothing!"
Just as he said this, he suddenly made a sound and said: "Beiming, there is a strange stone three to five feet into the cave wall here."
Bei Ming immediately observed with his spiritual mind and replied: "Master, that is a secret crystal."
"You told me about secret crystals. The spiritual stones above the ninth level are called secret crystals and magic crystals?" Ye Ming rubbed his hands repeatedly. He was too poor now. It would be a blessing if he could find a secret crystal. .
"It's a pity that this is a cursed secret crystal." Bei Ming shook his head, "I don't recommend that the master touches it. The cursed secret crystal is unknown and terrifying. Even the Martial God will not touch it easily."
"Can you know the specific situation?" Ye Ming asked, unwilling to give up.
"There is no way to know, I can only feel the strange power of the curse. There are many origins of the cursed secret crystal. Different origins have different effects." Bei Ming said, "Master really wants it, buy a puppet and dig it out some other time. "
Ye Ming had to give up temporarily. He continued to move forward, and the cave became more and more narrow and irregular. This cave was not dug artificially, but formed naturally. As we walked, we finally reached the end.
He was thinking about returning now, but suddenly his mind moved. He turned on the lamp to illuminate the front, and his eyes fell on the rock at the end of the cave. He said: "Behind this rock, there is another cave. Do you want to go in and have a look?"
"Everyone is here, it's okay to take a look." Bei Ming said, "Even the God of War dare not judge the size of the spiritual mine at will. Maybe there will be good things in it."
Ye Ming nodded, immediately summoned his divine power and hit the rock wall with his palm. A huge force of 800,000 kilograms exploded, and with a "boom", the rock several feet thick shattered, revealing a hole that could only allow one person to pass through.
After passing through the entrance of the cave, your eyes immediately opened up. It was a larger cave, and the further you went inside, the larger the area you could see. The walls of the cave are studded with crystals of various colors, which sparkle when illuminated by the light.
Ye Ming smiled and said: "These crystals are also worth some money, but it is a pity that it is too troublesome to mine them."
As he continued walking inside, the crystals in the cave became denser and denser, until it almost turned into a crystal cave. Some crystals can emit light, making the cave very bright.
"So many crystals." Ye Ming was a little surprised, "It's a pity that it's not a spiritual stone. If it were a spiritual stone, I would have made a fortune."
"Master, go inside." Bei Ming said suddenly.
"Is there something discovered?" Ye Ming asked.
Bei Ming: "There is a natural magic circle inside. It is just as I expected. The things inside are not trivial!"
