Chapter 408: Searching for the Python

Along the long underground track, the minecart carrying Gao Jing and Xiao Hei rumbled towards the depths of the mine.

Since the tunnel was always going down, there was no need for two people to work at all, and the minecart traveled very fast, passing through a pit in an instant.

Blackie flicked the lever to turn the minecart into another nearby passage.

It is close to the hinterland of the black iron mining area.

For thousands of years, the miners of the dungeon of Nilo have excavated countless tunnels, which are densely packed and intricate, like a huge labyrinth, and it is very easy to get lost in them.

Only veteran miners who are familiar with the environment and landmarks can enter this underground labyrinth freely.

Although Xiao Hei is only a teenager, his ability in this area is not inferior to that of any old miner, and he is extremely skilled in driving a minecart.

Squeak~

The locked iron wheel rubbed violently against the track, making a screeching sound.

The minecart, which had been running on the track for nearly an hour, finally came to a stop.

Stopped in front of a mine.

With the help of the light emitted by the large and small white glow mushrooms growing on the rock wall, Gao Jingqing clearly saw that the entrance to the mine was blocked by stones and wooden strips.

There's also a sign on it that says "Warning"!

The abyss, though never seen by the sun, is not a dark world.

The Baihui mushroom is the best lighting tool for the people of the abyss, this mushroom has a very strong ability to reproduce and survive, and can be seen everywhere underground, especially in the city.

After the miners dug out a new tunnel, they would sprinkle the mushroom species they had brought with them on a damp area.

The next day the glowing mushroom grows.

In addition to being used for lighting, the mushroom also acts as a source of food and water.

Although the taste is very bad, if the miners encounter a landslide accident and get lost, they can barely survive with the help of white glow mushrooms until they are rescued or find a way out.

Hence they are also known as the mushrooms of life.

"This is it. ”

Xiao Hei said excitedly: "This is the mine where Uncle Shibang told me that he found traces of the Black Mountain Python!"

The Black Mountain Python is the biggest enemy of the miners except for the mining disaster, once the Black Mountain Python is found, they will immediately close the mine, and then stay away from this area, and then report to the above to ask the extraordinary strong to come and solve it.

It's just that such requests often go unanswered.

Because it is very difficult to recruit totem warriors and wizards who have the ability to deal with the Black Mountain Python.

And at a high cost.

The mine owner will also weigh the pros and cons, and if he thinks it's not cost-effective, he doesn't care.

Miners like Xiao Hei who live in the mining area naturally hate the Black Mountain Python.

This is also the fundamental reason why the boy is willing to risk his life to help Gao Jing find this terrifying demon beast.

Of course, Gao Jing's generous remuneration for him is also another reason.

"Look, sir. ”

Xiao Hei leaned over and grabbed a handful of black-brown dirt piled up next to the cave, leaned under his nose and sniffed: "This is the feces of the black mountain python, and it is still very fresh!"

He handed the soil in his hand to Gao Jing, looking like he was asking for merit.

This guy!

Gao Jing frowned in disgust: "Got it." ”

Although the excrement of this black mountain python has no smell, it still looks very good.

He took a half step back and looked at the mine next to him: "I'll go in first and have a look." ”

Xiao Hei hurriedly threw away the python dung in his hand, wiped it vigorously on himself, and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

In fact, at this moment, Xiao Hei's heart is far from being as calm as it seems on the surface.

The Black Mountain Python is a real childhood shadow, and ordinary people like him are dying, and the risk of going deep into the python cave can be imagined!

It's just that fear is fear, and this teenager also has the courage to take risks.

I also want to prove my courage in front of Gao Jing!

In fact, if it were someone else, Xiao Hei might not be willing to take the initiative to ask for help.

"No need. ”

Gao Jing shook his head: "You find a place to hide nearby, if I don't come out, don't run around." ”

Gao Jing said, took out a totem talisman from the storage space, and injected a trace of totem power.

This talisman was activated instantly, emitting a faint light.

"It's a Concealment Talisman. ”

Gao Jing handed the totem talisman to Xiao Hei: "With it, you won't be discovered by others or demon beasts, pay attention to safety." ”

Xiao Hei looked at Gao Jing, and then at the glowing talisman in his hand.

The circles under the eyes are red.

Acting as a guide in the black iron ore area is one of the jobs that Xiao Hei does to make a living.

Gao Jing was not the first transcendent that Xiao Hei served, in fact, this young man had seen many students from the God of War Martial Academy.

But Gao Jing is the most kind and strong man he has ever seen!

The other transcendents were all arrogant, and there was no civilian existence like him in their eyes.

Calling and drinking at every turn, as a slave!

The poor man's child has long been in charge, and Xiao Hei is also well-informed, and knows how precious such a totem talisman with extraordinary power isβ€”it is more than enough to buy him a life.

Xiao Hei never dreamed that Gao Jing would directly give him a totem talisman for his own safety!

"Your Excellency. The boy rubbed his eyes and said with a wince, "This is too valuable. ”

"What is valuable. ”

Gao Jing smiled dumbly: "Let you take it, it's a waste if it's activated and don't use it." ”

This totem charm is a one-time piece of equipment that will remain active for a period of time after activation, and then become useless.

He stuffed the totem talisman into Xiao Hei's hand, and then patted the other party's shoulder: "If I don't come out before dark, you go first." ”

Although the sun and moon are not visible, the abyssal world also has day and night.

Synchronized with the great wilderness on the ground.

At night, the glow of all the white glow mushrooms will dim.

The underworld can become dangerous after dark, especially in an area with a very complex environment such as the mines.

Xiao Hei looked at the totem talisman in his hand and nodded subconsciously.

When he raised his head again, he found that Gao Jing had disappeared without a trace!

It's amazing!

The young man couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he was very envious in his heart.

Since childhood, Xiao Hei has aspired to be a strong man with extraordinary powers.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the bloodline of talent, nor does he have martial arts potential, so he can only be an ordinary person.

After standing at the entrance of the mine for a moment, Xiao Hei suddenly heard a low roar coming from a nearby mine.

He couldn't help but shudder, and quickly looked left and right.

Then he found a hiding place nearby and hid himself.

Quietly waiting for the return of Gao Jing.
