At the same time, the living quarters, in the third area...

Chen Hao and Liu Ming were on their way to Zhang Ling's residence.

After a while, an antique courtyard appeared in front of the two.

This is the twilight glacier, this is the mine, or rather, this is a prison.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that there would be such a style of architecture in such a place.

There are four more similar courtyards in the No. 3 living area, but the style is very different and different.

There are the heads of each region and Miao Dongqing of the reconnaissance team.

...

Before approaching the courtyard, Chen Hao looked a little restrained.

He glanced at Zhang Hu beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, Zhang Hu, are you sure that our escort team has always had candidates?"

"What if Senior Brother Zhang Ling doesn't agree?"

"Won't it anger him..."

Chen Hao glanced at the gate of the courtyard in the distance and took a deep breath.

Although he served under Zhang Ling's forces together with Zhang Hu.

But he didn't meet Zhang Ling much.

Over the years, most of the tasks assigned by Zhang Ling have also been relayed by Zhang Hu.

With the improvement of Zhang Ling's cultivation, every time Chen Hao saw Zhang Ling, he felt palpitations.

Zhang Hu looked calm, his steps were as usual, and he was talking as he walked.

"From the moment we started to take over the escort task, Senior Brother Zhang Ling was preparing to take over. ”

"I won't hide it from you, I proposed to slow down my cultivation, but the suggestion to take over the escort task was actually put forward by Senior Brother Zhang Ling. ”

"Senior Brother Zhang Ling has been preparing a replacement for the escort team all these years. ”

"Cultivation ranges from the third order of the Condensation Realm to the Transformation Source Realm, and it can replace us at any time. ”

"What?", Chen Hao was taken aback.

The person who came to him to discuss this matter back then was Zhang Hu, and he always thought that Zhang Hu came up with it.

As for joining Zhang Ling's forces, it was after they took over the task of escorting prisoners.

But Zhang Hu said that it was at Zhang Ling's suggestion that he began to take over the task of escorting prisoners.

The time is not right...

Zhang Hu had long expected Chen Hao's performance at this time.

He turned to Chen Hao and said, "Do you remember back then..."

...

Chen Hao, a disciple of the Feather Arrow Sect, Zhang Hu, a disciple of the Imperial Beast Sect.

The two of them were the first batch of Immortal Sect disciples who were sent to the mine by the Feather Arrow Sect and the Imperial Beast Sect to deal with affairs.

Life in the mine was boring, but after three years of cooperation, they became friends.

In the past three years, both of them have been responsible for the exploration and development of Tunnel Zero.

However, one day three years later, there was an accident in Tunnel Zero.

An extremely strong wave of energy emanated from the depths of the main path.

Although several branches dispersed the impact of this energy.

However, there was still a serious collapse at the entrance of the main road, and many Immortal Sect disciples and prisoners were trapped in it.

When the entrance was cleared, they immediately launched a rescue for everyone in the tunnel.

It didn't take long for the surviving Immortal Sect disciples and prisoners, as well as some of the corpses, to be cleaned up.

After counting, it was found that there was also a disciple of the Immortal Sect whose whereabouts were unknown.

No one knew which branch this Immortal Sect disciple was in at the time of the incident.

The routes in the tunnel are so intricate that it is almost impossible to clear all the side roads to find them in a short period of time.

The cause of the accident is also confused...

Everyone regretted it, but they had no choice but to bury their dead companions first.

But it didn't take long for the unexpected to happen...

The bodies of the prisoners and disciples of the Immortal Sect who had been buried in the forest near the mine disappeared inexplicably.

The disciples of the Immortal Sect were furious, there were their fellow disciples and brothers, and the corpses disappeared inexplicably, which was a great insult to them.

Everyone speculated that the demon clan in the nearby forest had gouged away the corpses of their companions.

They also notified a nearby sentry camp and organized a skirmish, but to no avail.

But stranger things are yet to come...

After the Immortal Sect disciple who was rescued from the tunnel accident woke up, he did not communicate with others, and he went crazy eating.

A few days later, the cultivation of these Immortal Sect disciples was inexplicably improved, and a strong desire to attack appeared.

Symptoms persisted for several days and reached their peak one day...

Just when everyone was helpless and ready to report the matter to the Immortal Sect, the corpse that had disappeared before suddenly appeared and stood in front of everyone.

Standing with these corpses were those Immortal Sect disciples who were eating like crazy.

The killing begins...

The difference in cultivation between the two sides is too great, although the number is not large, but the people who killed people have no power to fight back.

At that time, the person in charge of the Immortal Sect in the mine was only the first order of the Transformation Source Realm.

He was soon targeted and bitten to death by one of the corpses, and was dismembered by the other Immortal Sect disciples with his bare hands, barely having any power to resist...

The killing didn't last long, but everyone was terrified...

All the prisoners with low cultivation died, and only some of the surviving Immortal Sect disciples were driven to a clearing in the mine.

The Immortal Sect disciple who had disappeared after the collapse of Tunnel Zero was standing in that clearing waiting for them.

His eyes were hollow, his skin was shriveled, and although there was no life in his body, his energy fluctuations were extremely strong.

When everyone was gathered, the sand and gravel on the mine floor began to tremble, and fine grains of sand continued to gather in the air.

Eventually, the Human Demon Mind Method, which was made up of sand and stones, appeared in the air.

And in the minds of everyone present, the cultivation method of this set of exercises clearly appeared.

At the same time, the original operation of the sect's mental method in their bodies was completely tampered with, and the immortal body was driven by the human demon mental method to condense the void...

At this time, there was only one voice in their heads, "Practice!"

Everyone trembled, but there was nothing they could do, knowing that this energy was extremely abnormal, but they could only let this energy continue to condense and be transmitted to all parts of the body through the meridians.

This state lasted for a whole day and a night.

After doing all this, the disciple left a sentence and flew in the direction of the first area of the living area.

"Practice for half a year!"

He has not been seen in the mine since.

But this does not mean that these surviving Immortal Sect disciples are safe.

Conversely, anyone who tries to leave will be killed immediately.

They had no choice but to continue to practice the Human Demon Heart Method.

The mine has only been in operation for three years, and the production of corestones is not much.

Although the mining of the heartstone has almost stopped in the past six months, it has not attracted the attention of the Immortal Sect.

In the days that followed, the disciples of the Immortal Sect practiced under the supervision of these corpses and mad fellow disciples.

They didn't dare to slack off, because the Immortal Sect disciple with the lowest monthly cultivation level would be killed in public as a warning.

Everyone is in danger, and the only thing they can do every day is to constantly improve their cultivation.

Half a year later, the situation was relatively stable, and the corpses and the mad companions disappeared.

Instead, the senior brothers with the highest cultivation level became the heads of each region.

What they represent is the mysterious existence.

From the mouths of these responsible persons, everyone knew that this was the method of human demons, and they had begun to gradually transform into human demons.

Along with this, there are various quest requirements, contribution point reward mechanisms, spiritual void pills, and so on.

It didn't take long for a strong hunger pang to strike, and they had to take on various tasks for the sake of the Spirit Void Pill.

Like Van Bo, they had to work hard to contribute points.

But unlike Fan Bo and them, the situation in the mine had just stabilized at this time, and the heads of each mining area urgently needed to expand and form their own forces, which was an opportunity for other Immortal Sect disciples.

In addition, the mine once again took the initiative to get in touch with Xianzong,

On the grounds of discovering a large number of underground deposits of grinding stones, he applied to Xianzong to expand the scale of the mine and provide more human resources.

All this, the surviving Immortal Sect disciples saw it in their eyes.

They know that this is a game, but they have no intention or power to stop this.

...

At that time, the content of the tasks in the mine was mostly the same as the tasks in the mine today.

But there is one kind of task that almost no one does.

And these missions have a common feature, it is necessary to leave the mine!

In the turbulent half year, the situation has just stabilized, and as a human demon, he has to hand over to the Immortal Sect.

Who has the guts to do it?

Gao Xiuwei's senior brothers were co-opted by various persons in charge of the mining area.

The realm of the junior disciples with low cultivation has improved too quickly, and they dare not take the risk to do it.

Among the middle-level disciples, some of them have deliberately slowed down the speed of cultivation in the past six months.

They don't want to be the first bird, for fear of causing trouble.

But their cultivation will not be the worst, because the worst will die!

Under the strong pressure, the disciples of the Immortal Sect whose strength was in the middle layer attracted the attention of the higher-ups.

Zhang Hu is one of them, and his friend Chen Haoye's strength is the same as him.

At this time, Zhang Ling found Zhang Hu in private.

Because their cultivation has not improved much, the Immortal Sect will not doubt it, and the contribution points are rich, and it is enough to maintain the expenses in the mine.

You are responsible for providing me with the prisoners of Gao Xiuwei, and I will keep you safe in the mine!"

In this way, Zhang Ling and Zhang Hu reached a cooperation, and Chen Hao was pulled into the gang by Zhang Hu and took over the task of escorting the prisoners together.

As the number of times increased, they were gradually acquiesced in by the mine's top brass as the head of the escort team, and were appointed by Zhang Ling.

But the person in charge of the region knows whose meaning this is, and the invisible one also adds a layer of protection to Zhang Hu and the others.

Within a few years, with the influx of manpower into the mine, various forces also realized the importance of escort squads.

They wanted to intervene, and Zhang Hu announced at this time that he had joined Zhang Ling's forces.

Outsiders thought that he was forced by the situation and had to choose a force to shelter.

In fact, they belonged to Zhang Ling's forces from the beginning!

This is also the condition that Zhang Hu put forward after agreeing to Zhang Ling.

When the conditions are ripe, he will announce that he will join Zhang Ling's forces, and he will not be hated...

...

Chen Hao opened his mouth wide, Zhang Hu had never said these things, but he trusted Zhang Hu.

Facts have proved that Zhang Hu's decision has indeed allowed them to spend all these years peacefully.

Although the mission was always dangerous, they were much more comfortable than the other Immortal Sect disciples in this mine.

Gao Xiu, who had been co-opted by various responsible persons, became a disciple of the Immortal Sect, and after the situation was completely stabilized, he began to fight.

Over the years, the number of casualties caused by the fighting between the forces was not insignificant.

And those low-level Immortal Sect disciples have been taking tasks everywhere to contribute all these years.

...

"That walker, that day...?" , Chen Hao asked hesitantly.

Zhang Hu nodded and said, "Well, Master Xing should be the one that day, I heard Senior Brother Zhang Ling unintentionally mention it, but he didn't say much." ”

"Although he was never seen again after that day, he was always there. ”

"Lin Chong's words can also prove this, otherwise, with the means of our Immortal Sect, who can create those sentinels and guards?"

Chen Hao nodded, "Yes, will the Walker allow us to change people?"

Zhang Hu walked towards the courtyard gate again, motioning for Chen Hao to follow.

"In the early days, we needed to stabilize the situation, and we were also tacitly approved by the Walker. ”

"But now, as long as the mine is functioning normally, it doesn't really matter who the escort team falls into. ”

"Not to mention that over the years, Lord Walker has almost stopped managing the internal affairs of the mine. ”

"So we're in a very precarious position. ”

"Miao Dongqing's provocation is a signal. ”

"Taking advantage of the absence of Master Xingshi, Miao Dongqing must want to replace us. ”

"When the walker comes back, as long as the escort team is still there, he won't care too much. ”

...

"It makes sense,, then we must tell Senior Brother Zhang Ling as soon as possible and beware of Miao Dongqing", Chen Hao walked in front of Zhang Hu unconsciously.

However, at this time, Zhang Hu's figure trembled slightly.

Looking at Chen Hao's back, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes...

In the next second, a demon bell appeared in Zhang Hu's hand, and the ringtone was pleasant, which seemed a little abrupt in the quiet of the night.

'Suzu Bell Bell ~'

Chen Hao heard the voice and couldn't help but turn around curiously.

And at the moment when Chen Hao turned around, the figure of an electric flame snow leopard appeared in his eyes.

'Poof~', and the claws slashed through his chest...

Chen Hao immediately retreated and shouted at Zhang Hu: "Zhang..."

He wanted to remind Zhang Hu to be careful, but his eyes had already seen the demon bell on Zhang Hu's hand.

The brain goes blank...

The sound of 'soothing' came from both sides of the road.

Two Feather Arrow Sect disciples held two repeating crossbows and appeared in front of the two.

Chen Hao knew these two people, they were Miao Dongqing's subordinates.

On the way back from this escort mission, the two of them followed behind Miao Dongqing...

The two glanced at Chen Hao, turned to Zhang Hu and said, "Waste, let you seriously hurt him, not let you tickle!"

Chen Hao was furious, pointed at Zhang Hu and the three of them and scolded angrily: "Are you crazy! Miao Dongqing is crazy!"

"This is Senior Brother Zhang Ling's territory, you dare to do it to me here!"

The two glanced at each other, raised the repeating crossbow in their hands, and aimed it at Chen Hao laughing.

"Stupid"

Chen Hao was slightly stunned, and swallowed the words that he was about to shout.

He glanced at Zhang Hu, and anger arose.

But he didn't have an impulse, but turned around and ran towards Miao Dongqing's residence...
