In front of the mine where the accident happened, there were fifty or sixty dead bodies lying on the ground, all of them had gray complexions and wide-eyed eyes.
Experienced source collectors all turned pale and circled far away, none of them dared to step forward.
In the fifteenth mining area, there was panic, everyone withdrew, and most of them were trembling.
In that mine, wisps of gray mist overflowed, and a sense of oppression could still be felt from a long distance away.
"What the hell..." Ye Fan was startled inwardly. He already knew that such things would occasionally happen in the source mine, but his personal experience still surprised him.
An old man who has been collecting resources here for eight or nine years had a look of worry in his eyes, and said, "I have a hunch that this time the evil spirits may be very unusual."
Not long after, monks from Yaoguang Holy Land arrived. The leaders were a few middle-aged men, and the rest were young disciples.
"Who is mining in that mine, are there any survivors?" a middle-aged man asked.
"I work on the well." A young man stepped forward with a very nervous expression.
"Is there anyone else?" The middle-aged man asked again.
As a result, another six or seven people walked out, and everyone was panicked.
"What did you see?" the middle-aged monk asked.
"Didn't see anything, just heard the screams inside, and then we escaped."
"Where is Senior Brother Qin, isn't he here to inspect?" The middle-aged man frowned.
"The old fairy also fell in the mine."
"What?" The middle-aged man opened his eyes wide and said, "Senior brother Qin died?"
"Yes..." The person from Caiyuan was a little nervous, and said: "At first, it seemed that something was discovered below, and the old god got a report and went down to observe in person, but something evil happened and everyone died. "
Next to him, another person added: "Fortunately, we can run, otherwise we would not be able to survive standing on the well."
Needless to say, everyone has seen that there are fifty or sixty corpses at the mouth of the well.
Several middle-aged monks in the Yaoguang Holy Land looked at each other and frowned. The last thing they wanted to see this kind of thing happen. Once the source mine became evil, it would be extremely dangerous.
The mouth of the well is filled with gray fog, which looks very strange and disturbing.
"Shouldn't something alive be dug up?" A middle-aged man said.
The other people all changed their colors when they heard the words. If so, it must be a bad omen.
"It is said that the Jiang family dug a ghost mine not long ago, and got out a few bloody bones, and many people died as a result."
The dialogue of several middle-aged monks made Ye Fan's heart move, and the underground source was full of mystery and unknown.
"I'm here to catch a wisp of gray mist and see what it is." A middle-aged man opened his mouth and spit out a small silver bottle as long as a thumb, which turned into a silver light and flew forward, emitting a soft halo, and began to absorb gray fog.
"Crackling"
A surprising thing happened, as soon as a wisp of gray mist entered, the silver bottle cracked and fell to the ground in a dim light.
"This is..." The middle-aged man trembled.
"The weapon sacrificed by the monks in the secret realm of the Dao Palace can't block a wisp of gray mist. What is it?" Everyone was shocked.
Several middle-aged people showed serious expressions, this time it was a bit unusual, and they had no bottom in their hearts.
It took a full hour for the gray mist to completely dissipate, disappearing into the world.
Soon after, a grass chicken was thrown into the mine, and it kept singing. After a long time, it did not die.
Several middle-aged monks let out a sigh of relief.
"It's not as bad as expected."
"It seems that it's just an evil spirit, not a ghost mine."
Several middle-aged monks walked forward, followed by a dozen young disciples.
They stood at the mouth of the well, inspected each corpse, and then looked down for a while.
"Take away all these corpses and bury them in an abandoned mine." A middle-aged monk ordered.
All the source hunters retreated together, and no one wanted to touch those who died inexplicably.
Seeing this, the middle-aged monk frowned and said: "The evil spirit has dissipated, there will be no danger."
Frightened, many mining sources emptied dozens of corpses, threw them into an abandoned mine, and buried them on the spot.
Several middle-aged monks discussed and planned to go down the well to check.
"Why don't we let them empty the corpses inside first, and then we go down..." A middle-aged monk suggested this, and glanced at the source collectors around.
The people around were suddenly frightened and backed away.
"What are you afraid of? That chicken is unharmed, which means it's safe inside. Are all of you living people worse than a chicken?"
Hearing what he said, Ye Fan really wanted to spit on him. If he wasn't afraid, why didn't he go in? But the source collectors are required to explore the way first.
A young disciple from the Yaoguang Holy Land came forward to select candidates in person, but Ye Fan was unfortunately selected and was forced to go down the well to carry the dead bodies.
The inside of the mine was dim, and the torches could not fully illuminate it. There were corpses scattered all over the ground. When some timid miners saw this scene, their bodies immediately trembled.
Ahead, a little light came, and a source the size of a human head shone and shone, embedded in the earth and rocks. An old monk in his fifties was lying there upright, having died for a long time.
"The problem is here..."
Ye Fan approached carefully, and after seeing all this clearly, he took a deep breath.
Inside that piece of human head, there is a claw, which is similar to the palm of a human being, but has many red hairs, which are one inch long, and even the palm is no exception, which is a bit hideous.
"This is at least an ancient creature..." Ye Fan was surprised.
"Ghost Claw!"
"monster!"
Everyone around screamed.
Ye Fan stretched out his consciousness, examined it carefully, and changed his color again.
This was originally a huge rock, but it was chiseled by the source collectors to reveal this source. There are bone patterns in the stone layer, which are connected to this source.
"This..." He had to be shocked.
This should be a fossil, only the palm was preserved by Yuan, intact, and the other parts became stone bones.
"This should be a humanoid creature, no, he actually has bat wings!"
Humanoid creatures with wings are definitely not human beings.
At this point, he also saw why there was gray fog and so many people died.
When the boulder was cut through, a corner of the source was damaged, and a little flesh and blood of the palm was exposed to the air and shriveled up. This is how the gray mist was produced.
"What kind of terrifying creature is this? After a little bit of flesh and blood rots in the air, it has such terrifying power. Just a wisp of gray mist can shatter the weapons of monks in the secret realm of the Dao Palace. It's unimaginable!" Ye Fan was shocked. .
The only thing that is fortunate is that this source is very unusual, full of brilliance, gathering the essence of heaven and earth by itself, and the damaged part has been blocked by brilliance.
At this time, the monks above also flew in. They had keen senses and sensed that there was no danger below, so they were no longer afraid.
"This is... a claw with flesh and blood!"
Several middle-aged monks screamed on the spot.
"A few years ago, I dug up a severed arm. It was also sealed in the source and sent back to the Holy Land. The Supreme Elder once said that once you find such flesh and blood, you should report it immediately. It seems to be a very important matter."
These few monks carefully cleaned the stone, and moved the source and the boulder to the ground.
The Supreme Elder of the Shaking Light Holy Land was alarmed, and came here in person, carefully observed the palm, and repeatedly checked the traces of the human figure on the boulder.
"Unbelievable!" He seemed surprised.
"What kind of creature is this?" Beside, a young disciple asked carefully.
"Once upon a time..." the Supreme Elder only said two words, and then suddenly stopped talking.
Obviously, the Supreme Elder was very restless, and it took a long time to let out a sigh of relief, and then waved his sleeves to put away the source of the head and the huge rock.
"You guys continue to dig here, and if you find something new, report it to me immediately. This matter is of great importance, and I will record your great achievements for you." He looked solemn, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Why didn't the Supreme Elder elaborate, what exactly is that creature?"
"At least it is a creature from before the ancient times. It seems to be extremely terrifying and powerful."
"Whether we humans were born at that time, and what status are we in?"
The doubts of those young disciples in Yaoguang Holy Land are also questions in Ye Fan's heart, and he really wants to know the answer.
"Could it be possible to research any secret techniques and divine powers with that claw?"
"It's hard to say. If it is a powerful enough creature, that palm may really be a priceless treasure."
Several middle-aged monks were also discussing in low voices.
"I'm afraid that the big shots in my Shaking Light Holy Land can't really understand."
"In today's world, perhaps only the ancient mine in the early days has the answer. There are creatures who have come out of the peerless source of God alive."
"Don't talk about it, the ancient mine in the early days is a taboo place, and you can't talk nonsense in the source mine area."
The ancient mine in the early days is in the center of this area, surrounded by the source areas of the major holy places. No one dares to explore it. It is an ominous place.
For several days in a row, seven or eight abandoned wells were dug in a row, but one or two wells were not dug out.
Ye Fan secretly sighed bad luck, he still wanted to fill his own pocket.
Other miners are lucky, because there has been no bad luck in the past few days, and no ghost mine has been dug out.
Just when people thought the storm was over, on the seventh day, there was a sudden scream from a mine.
"What happened?" the monk of the Fluctuating Light Shrine asked on the ground.
In the past few days, they have been inseparable and have been in this mining area. They dare not be careless about the tasks assigned by the elders.
"Bones, a lot of bones were found!" The people below were very frightened.
In this mining area, when people in other mines heard the news, they all rushed out immediately and started to run away.
Mining people often have to face evil spirits. Whenever there is trouble, they will immediately protect themselves. The 15th mining area is in chaos.
Ye Fan finally understands why very few source pickers can live for ten years, even monks can't live long if they are constantly troubled by evil spirits.
"What's going on? Usually, weird things don't happen once a year. Why are they so frequent these days?"
Several experienced seniors in collecting sources all had bad premonitions.
"I think the last time I dug out that claw, it's not the end, but just the beginning. This mining area is probably a ghost mine, and a huge evildoer will come out."
"I also have this hunch that something big is going to happen."
"It is said that the ancient mine in the early days has not been peaceful this year. I am afraid this is a harbinger of great evil."
Ye Fan felt awe-inspiring. He felt that these old Caiyuan elders should have an instinctive sense in the face of these things for a long time, and maybe their premonition would come true.
"There's no need to run away, it's just dry bones, there's no danger. Come back quickly, let's dig this big mine together and see what's going on!"
The monks in the Shaking Light Holy Land ordered everyone to return, concentrate all their manpower, and start digging the deep mine.
In order to inspire everyone, they also entered the mine in person and directed everyone on the spot.
However, when they saw everything below with their own eyes, they also gasped.
The endless dead bones have all become fossils, and it is difficult to count how many there are.
As long as the stone is broken, there must be a lot of bones inside, which makes people's scalp numb.
In the end, there were no stones, only stone bones, and it was like a burial pit.
Even the monks shaking the Holy Land felt chills down their spines. The atmosphere here was very wrong, and it was getting colder and colder.
At this moment, someone yelled, "Bleeding out!"
In an instant, there were screams one after another, and hundreds of people died on the spot.
"Oh my god... Ghost Mine, the big monster!"
"I saw it, man!"
Both Ye Fan and the monks in the Shaking Light Holy Land were terrified.
