The Lion Mountain in Tongshi next door is located at the junction of the central hills of the southern Anhui mountainous area and the alluvial plain along the river in the north. The hills and low mountains are mostly composed of limestone, with karst landforms such as sinkholes, caves and underground rivers.
Laoyaling, the commanding height in the southwest of Lion Mountain, is 245 meters high. The mountain behind it on the right is the mining collapse area of Lion Mountain. Many places around it have collapsed to form cliffs.
But there are still many mine tunnels located around Lao Ya Ling, hidden in the ruins of time and buried deep in the hearts of many miners.
Yi Xiaochuan and Lao Liu stood on Laoyaling Mountain and looked into the distance. Most of the Tongshi City was in their sight. A jade belt hung across the north, which was the Yangtze River.
A middle-aged man in a white shirt followed the two of them and gave a very detailed introduction: "... Five years ago, our city requested to be listed as a resource-depleted city. In the past six years, on the one hand, we have expanded the traditional copper industry, and on the other hand, we have adjusted the industrial structure so that it will no longer be lost together with the copper mine. At the same time, we have replanned the city that naturally grew on the mining area and managed the environmental damage caused by mining..."
Yi Xiaochuan interrupted the middle-aged man's introduction with a smile and said, "Stop for a moment, we are not here to check your environmental protection and re-employment..."
Xiao Yi pointed to the dark hole that appeared in the collapsed mining area and asked, "You filled up the mine tunnel at this mining site, right?"
"According to the records, it was indeed landfilled!" The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and continued, "Many years have passed. Some of the people in charge at the time suffered from hemiplegia, stroke, and eating peanuts. I don't dare to say whether the landfill work was done properly. After all, it collapsed again, and this kind of thing happened..."
"I know you have many mines here. More than half of China's copper resources came from here. Could it be that this kind of thing happened only in Lion Mountain? What about other abandoned mining areas?"
Instantly, the middle-aged man's face was full of bitterness: "I can only say that I haven't found it yet. If this dark cave really appears everywhere, the 1.7 million people in Tongshi will have no choice but to evacuate..."
"It's not that serious yet. Is your team leader's injury better?"
"Not very well, but his life is not in danger. He has been transferred to Luzhou for treatment. The new team leader has not arrived yet. I didn't expect you to come so soon. Once again, I would like to thank Jiangcheng for its assistance on behalf of Tongshi..."
The Tong City suffered heavy losses that night, and it was even a major accident. After all, two awakeners died, three were injured, and even the Hui Province was slapped in the face.
Jiang Cheng was singled out for praise by the headquarters a few days ago for his outstanding performance, but now the bonus that he has not yet received is gone.
The team leader sent by the Luzhou branch was a burly man with thick body hair. His age was hard to tell and he had an untidy beard. His arms were thicker than Xiaoyi's thighs.
The one who awakened seemed to be a warrior like Wang Chao.
Xiao Yi is now considered a half-martial artist. Looking at the way this sturdy man walked in, his lower body was as stable as a tumbler, and he was doing the Bagua steps. He must be a master of Baguazhang.
There were two other team members coming down with him.
A man and a woman, the man is feminine and the woman is strong.
Xiao Yi took a quick look and found that the man had a sinister aura, exactly the same as the Lao Liu couple. It seemed that they were from the same trade.
As for the woman, her hands were covered with calluses and she was holding a sword. It went without saying that she was a swordsman.
Thinking back then, I seemed to have a talent in this area!
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wu Meng, a Sequence 8 Qigong Master. I am familiar with Wang Chao from Jiangcheng. That guy is so shameless that he calls himself 'Wang Chao' all day long, even though he is indeed called Wang Chao... I won't mention him anymore. This is Jiangbei, the ghost messenger, Zhao Li, the swordsman... Thank you to the two fellows from Jiangcheng for coming to Tongshi, haha... Actually, I am also a newcomer, and was forced to sit in the position of team leader by the headquarters. This seat is not easy to sit in..."
The sturdy man was very outgoing and spoke in a carefree manner. As expected of a martial artist, he had a forthright personality.
"Ghost messenger, Liu Genwang."
"Unknown awakening, Otokogawa..."
"I know you, great mathematician. I heard you are also a top sniper, with the ability to see ghosts and ghosts, and you are a man of both letters and martial arts! You two got here before us, what do you think of this mine? I am a rough guy, I am good at fighting and killing, but I am not good at analysis. You must be better than me at studying."
Xiao Yi doesn't think so. If he can become the team leader and the top leader of a city but only knows how to fight and charge into battle, his superiors will not be at ease.
Several people walked around the huge collapsed cave several times, but no one suggested going deeper to take a look.
After lunch, the five of them exchanged their strengths. After all, they would be going deep into the mine tunnel soon. The loss suffered by the previous group was just around the corner, so they couldn’t be careless.
Knowing each other well, we can make the best arrangements.
Among the two ghost officials, Jiang Bei is obviously competing with Lao Liu. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If the abilities are different, there is no comparison of who is stronger and who is weak. Everyone has shortcomings, so it would be great if they can complement each other.
But the sequence of awakening is the same, so we need to compare and prioritize them.
In addition, Lao Liu was captured before and was rescued by Zhang Wei and his team, which made Jiang Bei look down on Lao Liu again.
But is Lao Liu so easy to challenge
The last time it was a Sequence 7 constable, and this time he capsized. In terms of the same level, according to Otokogawa's memory, it seems that no evil spirit can withstand Lao Liu's soul fire.
Everyone has secrets, and Xiao Yi didn't ask much about Lao Liu's true identity.
But from just a few words, we knew that Lao Liu had spent some time in the Steamer Hell, Copper Pillar Hell, and Oil Pot Hell among the Eighteen Levels of Hell. As to whether he was a prisoner or a ghost catcher, no one asked.
Whatever it is, it seems very complicated!
Therefore, Jiang Bei, who could only control ice, had no power to fight back except being pressed to the ground and rubbed.
Xiao Yi also clasped hands with Wu Meng. Of course, compared with the Sequence 8 Qigong Master, Xiao Yi was physically weak, but this strength surprised Wu Meng.
Almighty!
The female swordsman's sword is also very fast, and she uses the fast sword style. According to her introduction, she is a member of the national fencing team...
Nearing three o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Meng received a phone call and then looked worried.
Then Zhang Wei also called Xiao Yi.
The two of them were melancholy together under the shade of the tree.
"… You think the country wouldn't treat it as a joke?"
Wu Meng sighed and said, "There aren't many Sequence 8 Evolvers in the country right now. He's a bit overbearing, and the headquarters needs him too! Besides, he was born into a good family, has a good grandfather, and is not bad in strength. I heard that he also has treasures from the ruins... Never mind. As long as I can solve this mysterious mine, I can bear it for a while."
"If he really is a master, should we worship him?"
"That's impossible. That's their circle! We commoners really don't like them, and they may not think highly of us, but if they promise something, we have to do it at the risk of our lives..."
After a while, a helicopter appeared in the field of vision, and then hovered over Laoya Ridge. A cable hung down, and a black shadow slid down quickly.
The man was a young man wearing sunglasses and had perfect posture.
"Who among you is the leader of the Copper City?"
"I, Wu Meng..."
"Ask your people to introduce their abilities. I will arrange the next work..."
"Hiss... cough cough, Wu Meng, Sequence 8 Qigong Master..."
The one who came is indeed a god, the god of land!
