After returning from Cuiping Mountain, the empress has been sullen, Qin Jue does not know whether he is alive or dead, there is no news, the Dragon Hall is gradually shelved and decentralized, many people have become very negative, and the returning members even only came back to report to the empress, handed over the affairs at hand, and left directly.

Their destination is Shenhai, and it is obvious that they are looking for Xuanwu them.

The Dragon God and the Dragon War Team also left, went directly to Europe, and began to mobilize the members of the Heavenly Punishment and Thor Mercenary Group to find Qin Jue's whereabouts. The disappearance of the Emperor of the Dragon Hall and the Holy Demon of Heavenly Punishment was perhaps the most terrifying event, and the Dragon God and the others naturally knew the stakes, so they only explained the relevant information, and did not reveal Qin Jue's identity. But such a directionless search is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and although it is painful, they never give up.

Gao Yue has also been chasing for more than a year, but unfortunately she has never found anything, this year may be the saddest year in her life, almost every day is to wash her face with tears.

As far as Elena was saddened in her heart, the news of the Holy Demon's victory over the mad demon had already come out, and his reputation had reached the highest point in history this year, and he was known as the strongest killer in history, so there was no need to say much about his reputation, but such a strong person disappeared like this, so she couldn't believe it at all.

It's been a year since she came to Shen Hai, and Elena has also changed a lot, she has learned too many things here, but unfortunately she is not interested in business or entertainment, but after a transformation, she has become the spokesperson of the Holy Devil and is well known to people.

Gaius also successfully married a wife and completely settled down here, surprisingly, his wife turned out to be Yuan Mengyi's good friend Xiaoxi, thanks to Yuan Mengyi's pull from it, which made this marriage possible. Gaius, who is now staying at the Royal Bar to help Bai Zhuzhu run this huge business, seems to like his current job. Maybe it's supposed to be like this, what about vampires, they're just ordinary people, maybe this most normal life is the most suitable for him.

Today's Holy Hall is very active, a series of achievements have been reported, making their reputation rise, coupled with the secret support of many people, the Holy Hall almost has a tendency to completely suppress the Dragon Hall, but what is surprising is that they have a problem after all.

On the afternoon of the 26th, the empress suddenly received a notice to attend an important meeting, and when she arrived, she saw that all the bigwigs led by Zhu Lao were actually there, and they all frowned, which seemed to indicate that this meeting must be very important.

After everyone arrived, Zhou Lao opened the document in his hand, he first sighed, and then glanced at the empress, with an indescribable strangeness.

"Half a month ago, the Holy Hall was responsible for exterminating the gangster Tomahawks that had been in a hurry with Russia for a long time, all the tasks have been arranged, and it was originally scheduled to take action on the night of the 28th, but unfortunately just half an hour ago, so the members of the Holy Hall who participated in the operation completely lost contact with the country, for this matter, the Russian side is also very inexplicable, at present, all the actions have been canceled, and the Russian side has also begun to organize people to investigate this matter, and our meeting today is to discuss, we should send the assistant investigation and rescue personnel, as soon as possible to investigate the situation of the members of the Holy Hall, if they are really in danger, we must rescue them as soon as possible……”

As he spoke, Zhou Lao paused and moved his gaze to the empress: "Originally, it was the Dragon King team that was responsible for carrying out tasks in the nearby area, and they were very familiar with the environment there, which helped to carry out this operation, so I suggested that this mission should be handed over to the Dragon Hall, obviously, so many members of the Holy Hall were missing, and the opponent must have made full preparations, so I suggested that this time the empress would be personally responsible for this operation, and all the members of the Dragon Hall would be dispatched to fight a good battle." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Lao was obviously a little weak-hearted, and his gaze quickly moved to Zhu Lao, as if he was waiting for him to give orders.

"Oh...... At this time, my dragon hall is coming, I remember that you have been preaching that the holy hall is far better than the dragon hall. This time, the Holy Hall has all disappeared, and I'm afraid that our Dragon Hall won't be able to cope with such a big scene, besides, most of the members of the Dragon Hall are not in Jinghua now, so I think it's better to send the members of the Holy Hall who stay behind to take a look, after all, compared to the Dragon Hall that is greedy for merit, these talents are more reliable. The empress's words were sour, not because she was resentful and refused to rescue, but because now that everything is unclear, she has to pay attention to it.

Just imagine, the masters of more than 30 families can all disappear at once, and even the news can't be transmitted, there are only two possible situations, the first is that the whole group of people has defected, and they have reached an agreement to completely block or destroy all communication equipment;

It was precisely because of too many uncertain factors that the empress did not plan to send personnel to investigate at all, let alone the entire Dragon Hall pouring out.

With a long sigh, Zhu Lao's face was obviously a little darker. He shook his head helplessly, pondered for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Don't fight, there are instructions above, at this time, it is completely entrusted to Zhou Lao, and all personnel transfers are arranged by him, and the Dragon Hall is no exception." You fully cooperate with him, the rest of the people, if it's okay, let's disperse, as soon as I hear these bullshit, and these bullshit, I have a headache, I think I'm relying on something, it's fucking rampant, what the hell ......"

Zhu Lao's words obviously meant something, he didn't even stop long, turned around and left.

The people in the field were scattered, leaving only Zhou Lao and the empress, and the old man glanced at him, and the empress snorted coldly: "The old lady caught a king eight yesterday, it is said that the Zhou Dynasty has lived until now, Zhou Lao, you calculate how many years it has lived, what is even funnier is that this Wang Ba has a good head to stretch forward, and when something happens, he desperately hides back, so yesterday the old lady stewed soft-shelled turtle soup in a fit of anger, don't you say, it's always old, this taste is really speechless." ”

The empress smiled coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

"Alas...... , where are you going? You want to stay and discuss the rescue with me?" Zhou Lao hurriedly shouted, his face was blue and red, and he was ashamed.

"Hehe! Zhou Lao seems to be old, and he is really forgetful, don't you forget, my Dragon Hall is a tune and doesn't listen to announcements, if there is something, just order, if it's okay, let's get out, you can give the order as you like, it's always okay!" After speaking, the empress didn't stop any longer, turned around and left directly.

"I'll give the order?hehe, then you are willing to listen to it......" Looking at the back of the empress leaving, his eyes were cold, and a strange smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

In the mine, after a night's rest, the next morning, all the prisoners began to work again, which had become a habit, and there was no need for any reminder, and everyone began to get busy.

Day after day of repetitive work, many people have long been numb, this kind of work, they can't arouse the slightest interest, on the contrary, this is just a means for them to live, either do it or die, there is no third way! It seems that everyone doesn't want to die, so they are busy.

Bang......

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and since a corner of the mine had collapsed, five or six people were directly killed by the falling stones, and a cloud of smoke and dust rolled up, and the cave was full of dust, and it was impossible to see what was happening.

At the moment of collapse, the old man rushed over as soon as possible, but unfortunately he was still a step too late, the five people were too seriously injured, and they were already hopeless, and they only struggled twice, and then they died.

The old man was stunned and shook his head helplessly: "Alas...... , Fate is really incomprehensible, Lao Tzu wants to die but can't die, but you suffer from flying disasters, it's really fucked up. ”

Looking up, there was a big pit in front of him, more than two meters deep, but it looked dozens of meters long, it was obvious that this was a fault in the ore, because someone had chiseled through the support before, which made the stones on the top fall, and the rest of the people also became unjustly killed, and died without knowing why.

Seeing that the stones were finally gone, everyone came up, and first a few people carried the body out, and the rest continued to clean up the scattered stones.

They are a group of soulless people, they will not be sad, let alone sympathetic, the only thing that still exists, maybe it is just that little bit of fear, maybe everyone will have a premonition in their hearts, soon, maybe it will be themselves who will die, so there is no need to be sad, let alone sympathy, there is endless suffering in life, and death is not necessarily a relief.

Finally, a gap was cleared, and in the distance, you could see the center of the huge crater, which seemed to be steaming, misty, like a fairyland.

"Isn't it a hot spring?" exclaimed, a face full of surprise.

Madagascar has a dry climate, water resources are scarce, and they are the lowest prisoners, many of whom have not bathed for many years except for their daily drinking water, and now they can't help but be a little excited to see such a large hot spring.

So more and more people came over and watched from afar, excited in their hearts.

The old man's gaze was also a little different, and he jumped down from the gap and began to go up to check. Sure enough, there is a five-meter-square hot spring in the center of the pit, and the boiling heat is blowing in the face, making people feel endless warmth.

However, what made the old man curious was not the hot spring, but the stalactite in the warm center, which stood on a piece of golden ore, and looked like a silver kettle the size of a palm, but the silver kettle had a distinct gap, about a finger's width, and the brilliant golden light was projected from the gap, which looked extremely shining.

The old man lay his hands on the silver kettle-shaped stalactites, his hands trembled a little, and his face was full of ecstasy, and he laughed out loud.

It was the first time he had laughed since he entered the mine, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all came over, but all they cared about was the hot springs.

"Dear yes, this is a rare hot spring, shall we go down and take a bath?" someone whispered, obviously asking the old man's permission.

Everyone was looking at the old man, and even Billy, who had been seriously injured yesterday, came over, and he waited aside, looking at the hot spring in front of him, his eyes full of eagerness.

The old man didn't speak, just picked up a hot spring water with his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, and nodded: "This hot spring contains a strong vitality, your body is mostly overworked, and soaking in this hot spring is indeed helpful for the repair of the body." Go for it!"

With a wave of their hands, everyone rushed down as if they had been instructed, but as usual, the middle area was vacated, which was reserved for the elderly and children.

Qin Jue also got warm, and slowly walked towards the stalactites in the shape of a silver pot, and when he got closer, he really felt that the extraordinary, the silver pot was piled up with golden droplets, which didn't look like a lot, but from the perspective of breath alone, it was a supreme treasure, containing extremely rich vitality, even more than the peach in the past.

"Golden Spirit Chalcedony? I didn't expect that there really was such a treasure in this world? It's unbelievable. The old man sighed lightly, his face full of fanaticism.

Legend has it that the innate five elements are gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the earliest is the ancestors' understanding of the universe, they believe that it is these five substances that constitute a world of living beings in a variety of forms, and there is a special existence in the innate five elements, they have a strong breath, infinite use, is the highly concentrated product of these five substances, so it is called, gold spirit, wood spirit, water spirit, Fire spirit and earth spirit, someone once discovered the golden spirit chalcedony, but unfortunately this has always been just a legend, there is no way to prove it, and now I didn't expect that by chance, there really was a golden spirit chalcedony.

The old man was full of ecstasy, and his expression was flying.

"With this golden spirit chalcedony, maybe my body can recover some, and I don't have to live in this dark cage, my fate is really unclear......
