Two days later, the ship finally sailed to the sea near the veins of the strait.

From a distance, they saw a line of small boats more than ten meters long in front of them, blocking the sea area.

The speed of the warship continued to move forward.

On those small boats, someone immediately spotted them, and everyone naturally recognized this warship.

It's just that the black sails on the ship have been replaced with white, which makes the group a little confused.

On a small boat, a bald and shirtless man walked up to the bow and shouted.

"Where's the helper?"

Chen Shiwen and Muda came forward together, and the two of them sneered in their hearts, without revealing the slightest on their faces.

"The helper is cultivating in the cabin, all of you will get on the ship immediately, and the helper will explain something later. ”

The group was skeptical, but since these words were said by the two most trusted military advisors of the gang leader, they also obeyed the order, drove the boat to the vicinity of the warship, and boarded the warship along the rope ladder.

As soon as they got on the boat, Chen Shiwen and Muda led a group of people and surrounded them.

This posture made these thirty or so people a little unclear, and the bald and shirtless man asked with a frown.

"Muda, surnamed Chen, what do you mean?"

This bald and shirtless man is also one of Smiling Tiger's most trusted subordinates, otherwise he would not have been left here to take care of the veins.

Chen Shiwen and Mu Da sneered and sneered at the corners of their mouths, and did not reply.

After a while, the people surrounding them spread out a path, and the bald and shirtless man saw a handsome young man in white walk out.

Beside him, followed by a pure-looking little girl, a burly man more than two meters tall, and at the back, a drunken drunkard.

Even if these thirty people were stupid, they could see that something was wrong, and their faces changed.

The bald-headed and shirtless man recognized Xue Jian and Du Xiaoqing, and exclaimed.

"How could it be you?"

Xue Jian said coldly.

"There is no gang leader here, and the Black Tiger Gang no longer exists. ”

The bald and shirtless man made a big wave in his heart, looked at Chen Shiwen and the others, and scolded angrily.

"What, how dare you betray your leader!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Jian rushed forward, pinched the bald man's neck, and twisted it slightly, like pinching a little chicken to death.

Killing the smiling tiger can deter nearly 100 people on the ship, and in the same way, if you want to deter these 30 or so people, you must also kill people.

Xue Jian threw the body of the bald man into the sea, turned around and spoke lightly.

"The rest is left to you, and those who rebel die, and those who return to obedience live. ”

Chen Shiwen and Muda both showed ruthlessness in their eyes, nodded yes, and led a group of people to kill them.

Nearly 100 people surrounded and killed more than 30 people, and this was almost a slaughter that was destined to end, screaming, wailing, scolding, and all kinds of voices mixed together.

Xue Jian, Senhu and the others stood quietly on the side, looking at this scene indifferently.

If you want to wash a gang of bandits white, you have to wash it with blood to remove those dirty, filthy impurities.

Soon, half of the thirty or so people died, and the massacre was over.

The remaining half of the people chose to submit, kneeling on the ground at the moment, their hands raised high, and they didn't dare to resist at all.

Chen Shiwen and Muda led everyone to look at Xue Jian and listened to his orders.

Xue Jian stepped forward and said softly.

"Okay, clean up here, these dozen people, you can arrange it yourself, and then take me to the strait veins to have a look. ”

A group of people nodded yes, threw the corpses into the sea, washed the blood on the deck with seawater, and then Chen Shiwen sent a group of his own people, drove those small boats, followed the big boats, and sailed forward.

About seven or eight miles on, the warships sailed above the strait, where some fishing boats were parked, and a group of miners were resting on board.

When those miners saw the warship, they were immediately frightened, and quickly got up and got busy, not daring to be lazy anymore.

The last time Xue Jian came to talk to Smiling Tiger about business, he didn't see these fishing boats and miners mining ore.

With a slight leap, he landed directly on the deck of the fishing boat from the high warship.

Those dark-skinned and thin-skinned miners, when they saw such a handsome boy in white, their hearts were filled with curiosity and awe.

Xue Jian tried his best to be as gentle as possible, and spoke.

"You don't have to be afraid, I'm here to see the situation, how is this undersea vein now?"

Those miners looked at each other one with puzzled expressions, and it seemed that they couldn't understand Xue Jian's common words on the mainland.

Then Xue Jian said it again in Nanming's local dialect, and the miners understood.

One of the oldest, old miners, who looked to be in his fifties, stepped forward and replied in the local dialect.

"This son, it's not that we don't work hard, it's that the ore veins in the strait have collapsed seriously, and in some places, we can't clean them up, and those stones are too heavy for us to lift. ”

Xue Jian nodded, without any sense of blame.

In the previous life, seabed mining required the help of machines, and in this world, they were able to mine seabed ore with only their hands, which is already remarkable.

He asked softly.

"If you have any of you here who are most familiar with the situation below, take me down to see it. ”

These words made a group of miners look at each other again.

This sea is not something that ordinary people can go to, not the kind of fishermen who live by the sea all year round, the water is very good, and it won't take long to go down, and you have to come up for a breath.

If the water quality is slightly worse, it can even kill people.

The old miner immediately persuaded.

"Childe, I'm afraid you can't go down to the sea with this body, the vein is dozens of meters underwater, you can't hold your breath for a stick of incense, you can't go down. ”

Xue Jian smiled lightly and said lightly.

"It's okay, just send someone to lead the way, if you can't hold on, I'll come up myself. ”

Since he asked for it, those people had no choice but to agree.

The oldest miner, who was highly respected among the crowd, waved his hand, and a thin young man in his early twenties stepped out.

"Ah Fa, you just take this son down to have a look, remember, you must ensure the safety of this son. ”

The thin young man nodded, with no expression on his face.

Then the two jumped into the sea one after another, and the thin young man named Ah Fa dived very fast, like a swift tuna.

Xue saw that although he was not as good as him in diving, the Yuan Force in his body was working, so that his speed was not slow at all, and he followed closely behind this young man.

The sea water is clear, a pale blue, Xue Jian opened his eyes, and he could clearly see more than ten meters away.

This is the pure natural sea that has not been polluted in the slightest, and in previous lives, such seas were very rare.

As he dived deeper and deeper, the pressure in the water increased, but his physical toughness made it a bit more stressful.

In a few moments, the two of them swam into a deep strait, lined with colorful coral reefs, green seaweed, and various swimming fish, shrimp and crabs passing by him from time to time.

Ah Fa suddenly turned his head and stretched out his hand to a narrow opening in front of him, which was hidden by a collapsed boulder, and he couldn't see inside at all.

Xue Jian understood what he meant, and it should be where the veins are.
