Chapter 921: Mine Fight (I)
After that, Lu Lin took Zhan Chen to visit many mining pits and learned a lot of information, but there were very few useful things, this group of bandits of the quicksand gang drilled everywhere like rats, and every action was handled cleanly, leaving no clues. Seeing that a week had passed, even Lu Lin's face was numb. But Zhan Chen was silent in this process, and still insisted on investigating one by one.
Suddenly, one day, Zhan Chen rushed to Lu Lin and said, "Lu Lin, I have discovered an interesting phenomenon, that is, all the recently attacked pits are concentrated in one area. ”
He said as he took out a map and spread it out, pointing to the northeast of the map. This map is the map of the mining area that Lu Lin handed to Zhan Chen before. Lu Lin took a closer look at the map before exclaiming, "It's true, I just found out now." ”
Zhan Chen continued to express his speculation: "So can you conclude that the lair of the Quicksand Gang is also hidden in the northeast of the mining area?"
Lu Lin looked at the map again, frowned, and said, "That's not right." ”
"What's wrong?"
"The pits that have been attacked recently have been concentrated in the northeast, but this was not the case earlier. ”
"Oh, can you tell me about something earlier?"
Lu Lin listed the earlier situation to Zhan Chen, and after listening to her narration, Zhan Chen said, "Did you find an interesting conclusion?"
"What conclusion, the younger generation is dull, and I hope that the seniors will make it clear. ”
"According to your instructions, the area of the Quicksand Gang's activities earlier should have been in the east, and now they have run to the northeast, but these are all early, their area of activity is in the south, still in the west, and even close to the area of Sand Castle, so can we infer that the Quicksand Gang is wandering to commit crimes, and the location of their lair is not fixed, and they migrate with the area where they commit crimes. ”
"Yes, my dad said that, too, but that's why we've been slow to figure out what they're doing. ”
"This is a gang of cunning bandits, but no matter how cunning the fox is, there are times when they show their tails, in fact, as long as we grasp the law of their movements, it is not difficult to know where their nest is. Zhan Chen said as he raised his hand to know a point on the map.
"Is it here?" Lu Lin wondered.
"Yes, although the mines scattered throughout the Northeast have been ransacked by the Quicksand Gang, I have observed that the mines distributed around here are especially cared for a lot, so I think it is possible that the current lair of the Quicksand Gang is in the center of this area, that is, here. ”
Lu Lin stared at the map carefully, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and said, "I have an impression of the place where the predecessor pointed out, I remember that it used to be an abandoned mine. ”
"Abandoned mines? That's right, it's the old nest of those guys. Lu Lin, you can take me to the abandoned mine right away. Zhan Chen also began to be eager to try, he had long hoped to get rid of the quicksand gang quickly, return to the inner sect as soon as possible, and continue to start his cultivation life.
"Okay, I'll take you there. Lu Lin obviously hated this gang of robbers as well.
An hour later, the two appeared above an abandoned mine, and Zhan Chen confirmed again: "Lu Lin, are you sure this is the place?"
"Senior, there's only this abandoned mine around here, so what should we do next? ”
Zhan Chen replied, "You just find a safe place to hide outside, and I'll go in alone." He searched around, pointed to a towering boulder not far away, and said, "I think there it is." ”
A trace of worry flashed in Lu Lin's eyes, and he asked, "Do you want me to go back and call for support?"
Zhan Chen said categorically: "No need, I will be cautious, besides, Senior Sister Baishan has said before that this task will be completed by me alone, and it depends on my strength." ”
"Alright then, senior, be careful. ”
Zhan Chen nodded and flew towards the pit alone, while Lu Lin flew in the direction of the boulder.
Let's say that after Zhan Chen entered the mine, he walked all the way forward, walked for nearly half an hour, and finally came to the depths of the mine, and suddenly the root of his ears moved, because he found a faint sound coming from the front, and his heart suddenly rejoiced.
"It's the voice of a man, and it seems that my inference is correct, and the cunning Quicksand Gang lair is hiding here. Zhan Chen silently thought, entering the mine, he did not spread his immortal sense, because although the immortal sense probe can be seen clearly, but the corresponding other party will also perceive your location, compared to other immortals, he has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he has the supernatural power "Di Ting", which allows him to detect very subtle abnormal sounds, and the scope of the probe is even far beyond his immortal sense.
Zhan Chen quickly calmed down his mentality, the closer he got to the target, the more he needed to be cautious, otherwise he would not be able to completely annihilate this gang of robbers.
He groped his way slowly, becoming more aware of the noise ahead, and obtained a lot of information that the bandits of the Quicksand Gang should be having a celebration feast, and there were a full forty-five people in front of him.
At this time, Zhan Chen was thinking again: "According to the information obtained earlier, the Quicksand Gang has a scale of 1,000 people, and there are three first-level bandit leaders in the Ming Law, and there are only forty-five people in front, it seems that most of the people are not in the pit at this time." But these forty-five people should be their high-level, and even have a leader among them, although the intelligence indicates that there are only first-level powerhouses of the Ming Law, but it does not guarantee that they will not have a powerhouse of the middle level or even the high level of the Ming Law, if they attack rashly, it will only increase the danger, I have to be careful!"
The end of the tunnel appeared, and a faint light appeared in front of him, Zhan Chen did not use Di Ting, he could already hear the voice of people very clearly, he looked around, and found a dark corner to hide.
At this moment, a man shouted rudely from the cave: "Zhu San, you go out and take a look at the situation around the hole." ”
"Three leaders, this is already our territory, what can happen?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you kid is a lazy worm! We all pin our heads to the waistband of our trousers, and I recently heard that Lu Huang has been secretly organizing forces recently, trying to kill us. ”
"Leader, that old man is only a beginner cultivator of the Ming Fa, why should we be afraid of him?"
"You're still talking nonsense, is my word not working?"
"Okay, okay, leader, I'll go out, can't I go out!"
Hearing this conversation, Zhan Chen's eyes lit up, and he secretly stepped back for a while, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the passage, and the person who had been called Zhu San by the three leaders was slowly walking towards him.
A fine light flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he attacked like lightning, subduing him at once, and threatened: "Zhu San, if you want to live, don't make a sound!"
Zhu San still wanted to struggle, but found that his body did not obey the call, and immediately knew that he was meeting a master today, and begged: "Senior, it's easy to say, don't kill me." ”
Zhan Chen originally hated this kind of person, but in order to get useful information from his mouth, he said: "I can spare you from dying, but you have to answer me a few questions truthfully, and don't tell you, just now, I have placed a ban on you, as long as I have a thought, I can make you die!"
"Seniors spare their lives, spare their lives!"
"Okay, how many of you quicksands are in this pit?"
"We have three hundred and sixteen people here, led by the three leaders Wu Zheng, and now there are only forty-five people in the cave, and the other two hundred people have gone out to hunt. ”
"What do you mean by hunting?"
"We do everything, as long as there is a trade made by fairy stones, killing people and stealing goods, robbing past merchants, but the main transaction is to attack the black rock crystal mine in Sand Castle, this trade is fixed, and the raw ore obtained can make a lot of money as long as it is sold to the black merchants. ”
"Okay, you really do all kinds of evil, I really want to kill you now!" Zhan Chen said angrily.
"Senior, you promised me a lot just now!"
Zhan Chen held back his anger and asked again, "Are the three leaders of your quicksand gang the highest in cultivation?"
"Of course, they are all Ming Law beginner powerhouses! Although in Taichen Prefecture, Ming Law Realm powerhouses are nothing, they still have a very important existence in this remote place, and the forces around here dare not provoke them. ”
Zhan Chen was relieved, and there was really no one in the Quicksand Gang who could absolutely suppress his existence, and he asked again: "Aren't there a thousand people in your Quicksand Gang? Why are there only more than 300 people here?"
"It was our big boss who divided us into three groups of men, led by three leaders, occupying three strongholds and taking care of each other, so that we could avoid being surrounded and annihilated, and we could also act as horns and take care of each other. ”
Zhan Chen sneered, "It seems that your big leader seems to have anticipated that sooner or later he will have a great calamity. He asked again, "Can you tell me about the characteristics of your three leaders, such as what mysteries you cultivate, what are your secret tricks, or what are your killer features?"
