Shang Manfu's death did not affect everyone's itinerary, and everyone continued to march towards their destination. It's just that in the days that followed, everyone never went to the hotels in the towns along the line again, but chose to camp in the open air, gathered together, and watched each other, so that no dangerous situation ever happened, and they arrived at Huangyangang safely.

Huangyan Gang, hundreds of miles in length and width, this area is also heavy and mountainous, the mountains are high and the road is dangerous, during which the aura is particularly abundant, there are many low-level demon beasts living in it, and the small yuan stone mine is between the mountains and mountains.

When they got there, they saw that many deep caves had been carved out of the cliff face of a great mountain, and they led to the depths of the mountain.

But most of those caves have been abandoned, only four of them, and there are still people coming and going from time to time, carrying stones from them, and these people's cultivation is below the martial master, and they can obviously only be regarded as some of the most ordinary martial artists.

Huang Yue turned around and said to the people behind her, "Let's go see Elder Pei Yanxue first, and hand over to the other senior brothers who are guarding here." So saying, he walked to the side of the mountain, and the people followed closely and came to the top of the mountain.

Seeing a chic courtyard built in the bushes, and there was a martial artist at the door, he saw that everyone seemed very excited, so he took the lead in shouting: "Brothers, wait a minute, I will go and tell Elder Pei immediately!"

Huang Yue arched her hand and said, "Then there is Senior Brother Lao." ”

The man went in for a while, then came out again, and said to everyone, "Come in, Elder Pei is waiting." ”

Everyone walked into the door and came to a beautiful room, and saw a burly middle-aged man, sitting in the center of the hall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a square face and a wide mouth, not angry and arrogant.

"Meet Elder Pei!" everyone followed Huang Yue and bowed down.

Pei Yanxue asked in surprise, "Why are you missing one person?"

Huang Yue had to tell him how Shang Manfu was killed.

Pei Yanxue nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect that such a change would occur as soon as you came." I'll contact Zongli as soon as possible and ask them to send another person over. ”

"But the work still needs to be carried out, you should hurry up and make a handover with the other disciples, this section of the Huanggang faction's group of guys has frequent activities and constant attacks, and five disciples have been killed one after another in the past six months, so you should be more careful and beware of their attacks. ”

"Huang Yue, you have already had two experiences in our Huangyangang service, and the position of the head of the Huangyangang mine will be handed over to you. ”

"Yes! Elder Pei will not fail in his mission. Huang Yue replied.

Pei Yanxue continued: "There are four main tunnels we are mining now, and each tunnel has to arrange two disciples to be on duty, while the other disciples are responsible for guarding the surrounding area. The disciples in charge of vigilance should pay attention, especially at night, as soon as they find something suspicious, they will use the fireworks in their hands as a signal to sound the alarm, and when the time comes, I will personally greet the incoming enemy, do you know?"

"Got it!" replied in unison.

"Huang Yue, in addition to arranging daily personnel to be on duty, is also responsible for patrolling the surroundings to prevent all accidents from happening. ”

"Yes, disciple understands!" Huang Yue replied.

"Okay, now you all retreat, hand over immediately, and get to the post as soon as possible. ”

Huang Yue led everyone out of the door, went to the mountain, and handed over to the disciples there, so everyone began their duty life in the Huangyangang Mine.

Time flies, time flies, and more than two months have passed in a blink of an eye. By now, Zhan Chen has basically adapted to life in the mine. Although Huangyangang is only a small yuan stone mine, it produces a lot of yuan stones, which can reach more than 100,000 pieces of lower grade yuan stones every month, and often produces some medium grade yuan stones, at least a few thousand pieces a month.

The mine adopts a rotation system, which means that he sometimes stays in the pit as a supervisor, and sometimes he has to go to the mountains to be on duty.

Being an overseer in the mine has a lot of work, not only to deal with the monsters that pop up in the cave from time to time, but also to keep an eye on the miners' hand, if they are not careful, they may hide a piece of Yuan Stone, and at the same time, the two overseers are also arranged to supervise each other.

The punishment of the sect is very severe! Anyone who is found to have stolen the yuan stone will be executed regardless of the number! And the overseer who discovers that he is greedy for ink and the yuan stone, once discovered, regardless of the number, will be expelled from the sect, and at the same time, the whistleblower will be given a high reward.

Under such a high-pressure policy, everyone is very cautious, and even those who have filled their pockets do not dare to do it on a large scale in broad daylight, because it will pay a heavy price.

Patrolling outside is much easier, and generally no one dares to blatantly break in during the day, just pay more attention at night. Zhan Chen often used the abundant aura in the mountains to secretly cultivate during his patrols, but no one found out.

In this way, he also stabilized his cultivation at the peak of the first rank of martial arts, and he was only one line away from breaking through the middle level of martial arts.

However, after entering the martial arts, the breakthrough is not as easy as the martial arts, and the bottleneck has become extremely solid, and some martial artists have already reached the accumulation, but unfortunately they can't take that last step.

The breakthrough of a martial artist often needs an opportunity, which is not a problem for the children of the family, or the disciples of the major sects who focus on cultivating, only one pill is needed.

However, for ordinary inner disciples of small and medium-sized sects like Zhan Chen, it became extremely difficult.

Early in the morning, Zhan Chen went to Huang Yue to report as usual, but he was drawn to the task of overseeing the work, and the other person was Wang Jie, whom he hated the most.

Wang Jie looked at his back, but he smiled behind his back, and said to Zhan Chen in a hoarse voice: "Senior Brother Zhan Chen, we still need to take care of each other." ”

made Zhan Chen's spine burst out with a trace of coldness, and he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart.

The two came to the No. 3 pit they were responsible for, and patrolled the cave as usual, during which Zhan Chen turned his head from time to time, secretly observing Wang Jie from the corner of his eye.

Every time at this time, Wang Jie would give him a lewd smile, which made people shudder.

Zhan Chen was always worried about his back, and there seemed to be an illusion in his heart that Wang Jie would suddenly pull out his sword and give him a sword in the back. However, looking at the busy miners around me, I feel that my worries are unnecessary.

In this pit full of people, if Wang Jie makes a move on himself, everyone will definitely see it, and once someone spreads the news, Wang Jie will be accused of murdering his fellow disciples, and horizontal and vertical is also a "death" word.

The minutes passed in this minute, and the cave was dimly lit and unusually quiet, except that at intervals the sound of the miners tinkling and rhythmically tapping the stones.

Zhan Chen could even hear his heart pounding, as if something was going to happen at any moment.

At this moment, I suddenly heard several exclamations from the depths of the cave: "Wow! Help!"

Zhan Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but rush towards the depths of the cave.
