After entering the mine, Xia Lei discovered that the rock structure of the mine was as solid as steel. There was no need for a support structure to dig holes in the mine to mine blood crystal ore.
The mine extends downward and twists and turns.
Xia Lei followed Mrs. Nightingale down. After walking for a long time, he didn't see the blood crystal ore. All he saw were black steel-like solid rocks.
"Are you thinking about something?" Mrs. Nightingale thought Xia Lei would chat with her, but Xia Lei remained silent. Instead, she couldn't help it and spoke to break the embarrassing silence between the two.
"I have a lot of questions." Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "But even if I tell you, you won't understand."
"Why are you so sure?" Mrs. Nightingale said, "You can try to tell me a little bit, maybe I can help you solve your problem."
Xia Lei thought for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Do you know any legends or stories about the fragments?"
"Fragment... what fragment?" Mrs. Nightingale looked back at Xia Lei, her blue eyes full of curiosity in the firelight.
"Fragments of a box." Xia Lei gave a hint.
Mrs. Nightingale thought for a while, then shook her head, "I'm really sorry, I haven't heard of any stories or legends related to the fragments, um... Why do you have such a strange question?"
"I'm just asking casually, but I didn't say anything." Xia Lei was a little disappointed, but also a little funny at the same time. How could he expect to get clues about the fragment in this way
"But I can give you a suggestion for such a strange question. Snake people like to travel, explore and hunt for treasures. Many rare treasures are found by snake people. If you meet a snake person who explores and hunts for treasure, you can ask him If you ask around, you may get unexpected results." Mrs. Nightingale said.
Xia Lei's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the snake-patterned man he met. Cherry tomatoes are extinct, but the snake-printed man found cherry tomatoes, and one of them fell out by chance, and he picked it up.
"Madam, I want to go back to Ash City to have a look." Xia Lei said.
"Are you looking for the snake-printed man I mentioned?" Mrs. Nightingale glanced at Xia Lei again.
Xia Lei nodded slightly. He still held on to a glimmer of hope that the snake-patterned man had not left Ashes City. He had to find out whether the cherry tomato he picked up was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement.
"When will you go back?" asked Mrs. Nightingale.
"When you leave from here."
"You are really impatient." Mrs. Nightingale said, "Let me go back with you. After being away for so long, I am also a little worried about the Lord of Guye City."
She didn't call Guye her husband or anything like that, but the city lord. From this point of view, in her heart, she never actually regarded Guye as her husband.
After talking and chatting for a long time, the mine passed. The oil lamp for lighting disappeared, but the mine in front became brighter. Bloody light swayed from the bottom of the mine tunnel, giving people the impression of the ambient lighting in a bar.
"We are almost there, and you will be able to see the blood crystal mine soon." Mrs. Nightingale quickened her pace.
In fact, Xia Lei knew it without her reminding him, because he had already sensed the extremely rich blood crystal energy. The energy accumulated together is like a huge woman's womb, and it can give birth to countless lives.
After walking forward for a while, the space in front of me suddenly opened up, and the blood crystal mine deposit was arrived.
Pieces of blood-colored crystals in the black rock formations and soil exude blood-colored light and exude a unique energy atmosphere.
There is no wind here, and it should be humid and hot in terms of depth. However, standing in the mine, Xia Lei felt a chilly atmosphere. It felt like he was in the underworld!
The end of life is death, and the end of death is life. The place where the blood crystal can be conceived, of course it represents the end of death. How can its dark death energy be low-level or weak? In fact, when Xia Lei came to this mine, he felt the cold atmosphere and also sensed the existence of dark death energy.
The aura of darkness and death in the mine suddenly intensified.
Xia Lei then ended his perception and enhanced the dark death aura on his body to the extreme. At this moment, he was like a rock here, holding a handful of dirt.
The suddenly enhanced dark aura of death slowly subsided, and the mine returned to normal.
Xia Lei's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his heart was filled with fear. Because the dark death energy he sensed was the highest level and most powerful among the dark death energies he sensed. Even a being like Defasis was nothing but scum in front of it!
Fortunately, it seemed to be in a deep sleep state, and its reaction just now was just an "instinctive reaction."
"I have had people estimate that the blood crystal ore reserves here are astonishing, with top-grade blood crystal ore accounting for one-third. There are also mines in other places. It should be the one with the highest reserves and the best minerals in the Black Sun Empire. Blood Crystal Mine." Mrs. Nightingale introduced Xia Lei like this, her expression seemed a little excited.
Xia Lei thought for a moment before saying, "Madam, how do you plan to mine this blood crystal mine?"
Mrs. Nightingale said: "Of course we use slaves to mine. I estimate that even if we use 10,000 slaves, it will take three years to complete the mining."
"But Lava City will not give you three years. News about this blood crystal mine will soon spread, and more powerful people and forces will come to compete with you for this blood crystal mine." Xia Lei said.
"But this is the land of Ash City, and we also won the war with Lava City!" Mrs. Nightingale said matter-of-factly, but there was no confidence in her voice. It's not that she hasn't thought about the problems Xia Lei mentioned, but she just doesn't want or have the ability to face them.
Xia Lei said: "You are escaping from the problems you have to face. There is a saying in my hometown that ordinary people are not guilty but only carry the treasure. I dare to conclude that it won't be long before someone big comes here. , and then a stronger army will come here. If you dare to fight, those people will destroy Ash City without hesitation."
"Are we going to give up just like that?" Mrs. Nightingale was very unwilling, and her heart was filled with anger.
"You need to find a powerful city to cooperate and mine this blood crystal mine together."
“A strong cooperative city?”
"Yes, it will provide you with strong protection and even provide you with human resources. You don't need to do anything at all, just wait for the share."
Mrs. Nightingale suddenly laughed, "Are you kidding me? How can there be such a city? There is only one lava city nearby, and that is my enemy. Such a powerful big city you mentioned is nowhere else. There is a place, but it’s too far away and I’m not familiar with it.”
Xia Lei smiled slightly, "I know there is a city that fully meets the conditions."
"What city?"
Xia Lei said: "Suspended City."
"Suspended City?" Mrs. Nightingale looked confused. "I have never heard of a suspended city. Where is it? Who is the owner of the city?"
Xia Lei said: "It is nearby. As long as you agree to cooperate, it can come here at any time. As for its city lord, well, it is far away and right in front of you."
Mrs. Nightingale was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood. She stared at Xia Lei with surprised eyes, her mouth opened wide, "Is it... you?"
Xia Lei nodded, "It's me, the leader of the Ghost Kingdom. The Suspended City is my royal city, so naturally I am also the city leader."
"Hahaha..." Mrs. Nightingale smiled and bent over.
Xia Lei said calmly: "I am very serious about discussing business with you."
"I'm really laughing too... Hahaha..." Mrs. Nightingale's breasts made wonderful ripples, and she smiled to such an extent that even a blind person could tell that she was really smiling.
A smile appeared on the corner of Xia Lei's mouth, but it was a bitter smile.
Mrs. Nightingale finally stopped laughing, "Long, your story must be the most absurd and funny story I have ever heard. Yes, I know you are not a slave. You have your purpose, so I am a slave." I met you in the market. You helped me win the war, and I don’t dare to treat you as my slave anymore. But if your goal is this blood crystal mine, you can just bring it up and I will give you some. After all, I can't take over this blood crystal mine without your help, but you shouldn't lie to me with such a story, right? There is no city nearby, and it can be moved here. Do you think I am a three-year-old girl? ?”
At this time, Xia Lei raised his right wrist, activated the energy brand in the master, and then said: "Amido, let the floating city come to the canyon mining area immediately, and the lower city will land in the canyon near the mining area."
Think Tank Amido's voice came out immediately, "Received, my master, your order has been executed, and the estimated arrival time is five minutes later."
After ending the call, Xia Lei said: "Didn't you say there are no moving cities? Come with me, I will take you to see my city. It not only moves, it can also fly."
Mrs. Nightingale couldn't help but looked at Xia Lei dumbfounded.
Xia Lei turned around and left, breaking off a piece of top-quality blood crystal ore with extremely rich blood color, and then threw it away as he walked. How can you enter Baoshan and come back empty-handed
"Wait for me." Mrs. Nightingale chased after her.
Five minutes later, the soldiers and slaves from Ash City who were logging and building a permanent camp stopped their work and stared dumbfounded at the open space in the canyon next to the mining area.
There, a small town appeared out of thin air, and then slowly landed. Beneath it, forests and hills were leveled!
Boom, boom, boom…
The huge noise shook the valley and was deafening.
The chaos and panic happened at this time, and the soldiers and slaves from Ash City fled one after another. There were also some brave ones who took up arms and prepared to fight, and the whole scene was in chaos.
The lower city of the suspended city descends into the canyon. Although it has been expanded, it is actually not very big, only one-tenth the size of the upper city. With the expansion of robot engineers, they may catch up with Shangcheng or even surpass Shangcheng in the future, but Shangcheng's possession of the floating city is the core and cannot be replaced.
Mrs. Nightingale followed Xia Lei out of the mine. At that time, the lower city of the floating city had just settled on the ground, and the huge city gate was revealed. Then there was the huge floating city, the upper city, suspended in the sky, and the golden palace was particularly dazzling in the sky.
"This..." Mrs. Nightingale opened her mouth wide but could not speak.
Xia Lei said calmly: "This is my floating city. Cooperate with me and I will use engineering robots to mine it. It will take you three years to mine this blood crystal mine, but it will only take me less than a month. Even if there is Big shots or powerful power groups are taking a look at this blood crystal mine. When they are ready to come here, all that is left here is black stone. What do you think, are you willing to cooperate with me? "
"Take me into your city to see, and then... follow me back to Ashes City." Mrs. Nightingale finally spoke.
Xia Lei understood that she wanted to leave the decision of cooperation or non-cooperation to the Lord of Guye City, which was also reasonable.
"Follow me." Xia Lei walked towards the gate of the lower city of Suspended City and said as he walked: "Good idea, go and notify Wang Yun, Pang Tong and Werewolf immediately and summon all the soldiers. You will also The robot sappers are summoned to show our guests what we are capable of.”
A good voice said, "Receive it, I am the most beautiful, my beauty and wisdom coexist, I am invulnerable..."
Xia Lei decisively ended the call before Haofang could finish his words of praise.
