Before Lu Huang could speak, he sighed and said angrily: "I'm angry when I talk about this matter, White Envoy-"

Bai Shan interjected: "Don't call me an envoy, Lu Huang, you are also an old man who has dedicated yourself to our Bai family for many years, just call me Bai Shan." ”

"All right, White Cedar. Lu Huang looked at Zhan Chen again, and Bai Shan pointed at Zhan Chen and said, "His name is Zhan Chen, and he is a newcomer I brought to carry out the mission." ”

"Well, white cedar, In the morning, our Sand Rock Fort has been operating on the desert for more than 5,000 years, with 235 large and small black rock crystal mines, and can produce millions of black rock crystal mines worth millions of superb immortal stones a year, but just a year ago, a strong man called the Quicksand Gang suddenly appeared near us, most of them are good at soil attribute mysteries, can sneak underground, and are even more comfortable in this soft desert, relying on this advantage, they often attack our mining station, rob minerals, and kill our miners. Under their interference, many of our mines were unable to open, and the output value of Black Rock Crystal dropped to less than 300,000 top-grade immortal stones last year. To make matters worse, many absenteeism left the sand castle because they could not work with peace of mind. ”

Hearing this, Bai Shan couldn't help but sneer, and said, "This group of bold people called the Quicksand Gang actually bullied our Bai family, is it unbearable?" After a pause, she said to Lu Huang again: "Lu Huang, we are new to the Quicksand Gang, and we don't know much about this Quicksand Gang, you tell me and Zhan Chen about their strength and how many strong people they have." ”

"Okay, as far as our people know, their number is about one or two thousand, and most of them are the same as our guards, only the cultivation of the Yuan Shen Realm, but their three leaders have all reached the initial level of the Ming Law, and they are committing crimes everywhere, and their whereabouts are uncertain, so our losses will be so heavy. ”

"I once met one of their leaders in a mine and fought him, but I was too limited to take him. ”

"Three beginner-level robbers?" Bai Shan muttered to himself, and then said to Zhan Chen, "Zhan Chen, you heard it all. ”

Zhan Chen nodded.

"Okay, I'll announce the content of this mission now, which is to eliminate this gang of bandits called the Quicksand Gang within a month, and restore the mines near Sand Castle to normal, can you do it?"

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "Of course, this gang of bandits are all people who do all kinds of evil, and it is my duty to exterminate them for the sake of heaven." ”

"Then Lu Huang and I will wait for good news in the Sand Castle. ”

Zhan Chen said to Lu Huang again: "Lu Huang, I have one more request. ”

Lu Huang said: "Zhan Chen, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Can you send me a guide who knows the way, so that it will be easier for me to move. ”

"Hehe, this matter is simple, I'll do it. Lu Huang shouted loudly outside: "Lu Lin, come in quickly." ”

A chubby woman walked in from outside and asked, "Daddy, what are you calling me?"

Lu Huang pointed at Zhan Chen and said, "This is Zhan Chenzhan senior from the Humanist Sect, and he is also here to solve the quicksand gang for us, but he doesn't know much about the situation here, so my father asked you to be a guide to lead this senior to several mines where quicksand is rampant and active, so as to cut them off in one fell swoop." ”

"Great! This gang of wicked people has finally been cured!" Lu Lin was overjoyed.

"Well, Zhan Chen, I'm sorry for you. ”

"Senior Sister Bai, Lord Lu Fort, I'll come when I go!" Zhan Chen stood up and walked out with Lu Lin.

When the two came outside, Lu Lin said, "Senior, I'll take you to a mine where the Quicksand Gang has recently been active." ”

"Good. Zhan Chen replied, he was also curious, wondering what the pit that produced the black rock crystal would be like.

The two of them flew towards the north, since Lu Lin's cultivation was only the Great Perfection of the Yuan Shen, so Zhan Chen had to slow down his flight speed in order to take care of her, and it took the two nearly two hours to reach an oasis surrounded by low mountains.

Lu Lin pointed to the oasis and said happily: "Senior, we have arrived! ”

Seeing this, Zhan Chen was curious: "There is such a beautiful oasis in this desert, then why did your father build his headquarters in the middle of the desert where the wind and sand are raging?"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "That's because it is the center of the distribution area of the Black Rock Crystal Mine, and the headquarters is built there to facilitate communication and management, and besides, those sand castles you saw had existed before we arrived, and it is said that they have existed for millions of years, and we can use them as a station as long as we clean up a little." ”

"I see. "Zhan Chen understands a little.

"The mine we're going to is near this mountain range, and I'll take you there. ”

Lu Lin took Zhan Chen to the oasis, and there were guards patrolling and guarding the periphery of the oasis, but they all knew Lu Lin and stepped forward to greet her. Lu Lin asked one of the guards, "How is it, is the operation of the pit okay now?"

The guard looked frustrated, and said, "We have five dead and twenty-three wounded, this quicksand gang is so hateful that they will sneak underground and be elusive, but after everyone's efforts, we still repelled them and killed one of them." ”

"Alas, it took nearly thirty casualties to make the other party pay the price of one person, but you don't have to worry, the Bai family has already sent us support, and this Zhan Chen senior is the master of the Humane Sect. ”

"Really, that's great!" the guards laughed, looking at Zhan Chen, their faces full of hope.

Zhan Chen touched his nose and said, "I can't talk about the master, I'm just an ordinary disciple of the Inner Sect of the Humane Sect, but I swear to you here that I will eradicate all these gangsters." ”

Lu Lin said to the guards again: "Take us to the robbery pit of Zhao, we want to investigate the situation there, and find clues to the quicksand gang by the way." ”

"Okay, we'll show you the way. ”

The guards took Zhan Chen and Lu Lin all the way to a low mountain, only to see that there was a cave nearly ten meters high in front of the mountain, and people entered and exited it from time to time, and then entered a cylindrical building on the side, and the chimney of the building was still billowing smoke.

Lu Lin pointed to the house and said to Zhan Chen: "Senior Zhan, that house is our smelting room, the black rock crystal ore contains a lot of impurities, and the finished product can only be formed after smelting there. ”

Zhan Chen took a closer look and found that there were a large number of guards guarding the door of this room, so he asked, "Is this the people from the Quicksand Gang who came here to capture the Black Rock Crystal?"

The guard replied, "No, these cunning thieves have attacked us in the mines, not only for their money, but also for the pleasure of killing us. ”

"Hmph, it's really hateful, you take me down to the pit and have a look. ”

"Yes, Zhan Senpai!"

The guards took Zhan Chen and Lu Lin into the pit again, and traveled along a narrow tunnel with an inclination of nearly forty-five degrees, Zhan Chen and the others began to gradually go deep underground, and every ten meters on the rock walls on both sides of the pit, a pearl was set up for lighting the ground, so even if they walked under this dark and damp bottom, it would not be too depressing.

After traveling for about a quarter of an hour, Zhan Chen noticed that the colors on both sides began to darken, mixed with dots of glittering materials, and carefully identified them, those glittering substances were really black rock crystal particles, and he was thinking that the mining place should be about to be reached.

Sure enough, after walking a few hundred meters, there was a faint roar in front, and the guard said to Zhan Chen: "Senior Zhan, the mining place is about to arrive." ”

Zhan Chen nodded and quickened his pace, and came to the end of the tunnel, where a huge space with a radius of hundreds of zhang was presented in front of him, hundreds of miners were slashing the rocks with their own dao tools, and selecting the raw ore from the broken stones, and then handing it to the overseer on the side, and the overseer put the ore obtained one by one into his storage ring.

The overseer was obviously very familiar with Lu Lin, and when he saw her, he smiled, stepped forward, and asked, "Miss Lu, why are you here, the inside of the mine is very dirty, and it is not a place for a noble person like you to come." ”

Lu Lin said with a smile: "Uncle Li Yi, I came to find out about the situation of the attack on the mine a few days ago, and this senior next to me is here to solve the quicksand gang." ”

"Quicksand Gang!" As soon as he mentioned this name, Li Yidi's eyes burst into flames, and said: "This group of people is so hateful, that day we were working in the mine, they just came out of the wall and the ground on the side, launched a surprise attack on us, and seriously injured the old man, and snatched my storage ring, but fortunately they didn't poison me, leaving me with my life, and now working under this mine, everyone reminds me to lose my guts." ”

Zhan Chen looked around and asked, "I see that the rocks around here are very hard, can they break through at will?"

"Yes, all of them have mastered the magical Escape Dao Technique, and they can come and go freely in this rock formation that no one can easily destroy. ”

"But I don't understand why they would go down to the ground and attack you."

"I remember that there were only about two dozen people from the Quicksand Gang who attacked us that day, and their cultivation was either the high level of the Yuan Shen or the Great Perfection of the Yuan Shen, but the cultivation of our miners was generally lower than theirs, although more than 100 people were defeated, I think the reason why they chose to attack us in the pit was probably because we were easy to deal with. After attacking us, they fled again and disappeared without a trace, and we tried to follow up on their clues afterwards, but there was nothing we could do. ”

"Is that so? The persimmon is pinched softly, which is also logical. Zhan Chen touched his chin and muttered to himself, then he walked around the pit again, looked around, and really didn't find anything valuable, so he asked Lu Lin again: "Lu Lin, are there any other places that have been attacked by the quicksand gang?" Now we have too little information. ”

Lu Lin nodded and said, "That's too much, I'll take you to the next place to have a look." ”

"Okay, let's leave immediately!" Zhan Chen said.
