"Okay, let's go. However, to Qi Lan's surprise, Ye Shuo readily agreed, which made him a little overwhelmed for a while, and he stood in place for a while, and then stammered and asked, "Huh, senior brother, will you promise me?"

"Or else...... Explain to you the reasons why you can't go, a number of things, and in the end you don't have to go. Even if I analyze the pros and cons thoroughly, I still can't stop you, so why should I waste my tongue. Ye Shuo dragged Qi Lan and said angrily.

Qi Lan stuck out her tongue, and then followed with a fart. Ye Shuo glanced at him lightly, and secretly sighed again.

In fact, the reason why he agreed to Qi Lan was only one of the reasons he said earlier, and there was another point that was the most important.

Due to Qingxiang Xiong's prophecy, Ye Shuo had a lot of worries about getting involved in the dispute in the Nine Shadows Palace. Even if he can deal with the Nine Shadows Palace, but this one around him ...... Ye Shuo glanced at Qi Lan who was bouncing around...... Forget it.

At least under the command of Tianxiao Pavilion, the Nine Shadows Hall should not dare to act rashly. Anyway, first make Qi Lan happy, and then send him away. As for the road to revenge against the Nine Shadows Palace, it is still a long way.

……

This is a 1,000-acre mine. There weren't too many workers in the mine, on the contrary, there were some large machines running at full capacity. Qi Lan stood on a small mine, silent.

"Still haven't you found it?" Ye Shuo asked on the side.

"Alas, it was not easy to find a medicine in the first place. Qi Lan sat on the ground, "We've only joined the mining team for ten days, and we can't dig anything." ”

Ye Shuo patted Qi Lan's head, and suddenly felt that he was really fond of this junior brother. If he had been an ordinary person, he had to help dig the mine for ten days by himself, and he would have to listen to the blind command of some contractors who had no level at all, and he would have thrown off the shovel and left.

"Hurry up, assemble quickly!" Hearing this roar in the distance, Qi Lan suddenly felt helpless, turned into a big character, and collapsed to the ground.

This is the contractor foreman recruiting everyone, and it is estimated that there will be a new direction of command.

After being dragged up by Ye Shuo, Qi Lan silently leaned into his ear: "Senior brother, can you defeat him, and then you can replace him?"

Ye Shuo didn't answer, just dragged Qi Lan all the way to the meeting place.

He knew exactly what Qi Lan wanted to say next. If he became a contractor, then Qi Lan would definitely be the first to rely on "I am the junior brother of the contractor", and as a matter of course, he would avoid work, and maybe let other miners help him find medicine...... It must be so!

dragged Qi Lan to the meeting point, and Ye Shuo suddenly found that the gathering atmosphere this time was not as good as before. The fat-headed, big-eared contractor looked distressed and sat on the ground depressed. The other miners sat in a circle, talking to each other, as if to say something. After saying a few words, he looked up at the foreman, and then lowered his head again.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Qi Lan saw that there was a bustle, and immediately came up curiously.

"You don't know, do you?" The miner on the side moved his body towards Qi Lan's side, "Tianxiao Pavilion is not a charitable organization, and if you can't complete the task, of course the person in charge will suffer." The mine has not yet completed the required standards, and the foreman is expected to be in big trouble. ”

"But what do you have to gloat?" Qi Lan pouted. The contractor is unlucky, won't the miners below be unlucky?

The two miners laughed in unison, still muttering, "That pig's head will actually have today!" Then one of them twisted and said: "But no matter what, the responsibility of the contractor is the greatest, and it is not our turn to be scolded or beaten." ”

Isn't that logically right? Maybe most of the miners are single-celled creatures. Qi Lan comforted herself. He suddenly felt a little sad, he was a genius alchemist boy, and he was actually reduced to mining with a group of miners!

However, Qi Lan didn't realize that Ye Shuo beside him hadn't said anything at all. After all, no matter how you look at it, Ye Shuo is the real worst one.

"Everyone! All of you!!Listen up! I'll give you a quarter of an hour to rest! After a quarter of an hour, all assemble at the third mining point! Dig under the third mine!" Suddenly, the foreman bounced up from the ground like a balloon and shouted loudly.

His voice was thin and sharp, and it was enlarged many times under the blessing of spiritual power, and Qi Lan felt that his ears were about to be deafened.

After digging out her ears, Qi Lan suddenly realized that the third mine cave was not the deepest mine excavated in the entire mine.

It is said that because of the deep digging, although some extremely rare minerals may be excavated, more of them are afraid that they will disturb some strange beasts sleeping underground. This package foreman is really going to get out of the way!

The miners who sat in the circle began to complain in a low voice, but most of their complaints were that the underground environment was so bad, humid and stuffy, and there were occasional landslides. They didn't think of the underground beast, so they only complained, and their bodies still reluctantly moved towards the third mine.

Qi Lan was a little hesitant before, but when she thought of Ye Shuo by her side, she suddenly felt a lot more relieved. What should I do if I encounter a strange beast? Then let his powerful senior brother solve it! What's more, there is a greater chance of finding the medicinal materials you need underground!

So in the midst of the pile of lifeless miners, there was a very contrasting figure, jumping around lively, and at the same time he was clutching another lifeless figure. The figure seemed to be covered with a layer of black qi all over his body, and just from a distance, people could clearly feel his gloomy feelings.

Forget it, it's rare to see Qi Lan once, he is happy, just follow him, Ye Shuo can only comfort himself like this.

The two entered the third mining site along with the other miners. It was a very deep mine. Before going down the mine, Qi Lan was already a little panicked, standing on the edge of the cave, carefully looking down from above.

The mine was like a deep bottomless pit, and the sunlight seemed to be swallowed up by the huge mine entrance. There is a large, iron spiral ladder that descends slowly down the mine.

On one side of the mine is the Night Pearl, which looks like a bright Milky Way in the dark sky from a close distance. But looking deeper, the shining pearls of the night don't seem to be defending against the darkness, but more like the eyes of the great evil creatures hiding in the darkness, as if they are watching you, and if you are not paying attention, they will burst out and devour your life.

Further down, there is a chaotic black. I can't see anything clearly.

Boundless darkness spread, exuding a dead silence of ominousness.

"You don't really want to go down...... I don't know who muttered, and the silent crowd suddenly exploded.

"Isn't it just digging a mine? In the midst of the noise, a middle-aged man's voice rang out, his tone full of disdain.

"Naturally, there's nothing to be afraid of, it's just ...... Mining in such a deep mine, this difficulty definitely increases by more than one factor, how can you say that the salary must also be doubled?" another voice sounded. His words resonated with the vast majority of people.

"Yes, it's going to have to be doubled!" the miners shouted as they continued their way deeper into the mine.

Qi Lan felt a little uneasy. It's not that this is caused by the darkness ahead, it's just that the group of people around me is too unreliable...... However, when he thought of Ye Shuo still there, his nervous mood relaxed again.

The miners continued to walk down, and so on for an unknown amount of time. Looking up again, the entrance of the mine cave was originally a hole with a diameter of a thousand meters, but now it was only the size of a fingernail.

With a "boom", a thunderous explosion suddenly exploded overhead. The miners were startled, and some of them instantly set up a spirit crystal shield. But when they saw what it was, they were all relieved.

It was a lamp, a huge lamp.

A lamp composed of energy crystals. The green energy hedron slowly flowed in the lampshade, and most of the miners showed envious expressions.

It is rare to see such a pure energy spar crystallization, and in the outside world, how many people want to get an energy spar to improve their cultivation. However, here, it was actually used as a kind of fuel to burn, which was too tyrannical to destroy the heavens!

Under the reflection of the energy crystal, the miners gradually saw the landscape of this place clearly.

They had now reached the very bottom of the mine. At the bottom were a number of compartments had been dug up, and it seemed that some kind of number was written on them, and each compartment was of different sizes, but the smallest was at least the size of a two-hundred-meter playground. At Qi Lan's strong request, Ye Shuo formed a team with him.

Grabbing some messy tools, the two of them entered one of the compartments along with the other miners.

"Senior brother, do you really think you can dig up anything good here?" Qi Lan frowned, "But I always think it's more likely to dig up some demon beasts!"

Ye Shuo turned his gaze and nodded matter-of-factly: "That's true." If you dig up a bone-eater ghost saint or something, it's something to look forward to. ”

Qi Lan's face suddenly turned black: "Although I don't know what that Bone Devouring Ghost Saint is, it sounds like it's not good......"

After the two came to their respective areas, Ye Shuo went directly into the corner. He wasn't interested in mining in the first place, so he should be with Qi Lan. And compared to the mining itself, this mine seemed to attract him even more, Ye Shuo had faintly discovered something. At this moment, he was just wishing Qi Lan in his heart, hoping that he would be able to dig up the rare medicine he wanted.

Qi Lan had only been digging for a short time, and he vigorously wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Senior brother, I think our mining like this is too inefficient, hasn't Tianxiao Pavilion thought about using any heavy machinery? According to their strength, they shouldn't use this kind of coolie to mine." You see, they are all willing to use energy hedron for lighting, and it is not difficult to get any large machinery. ”

Ye Shuo waved his hand at him: "You finally found out." ”

"Do you mean...... The truth is really as I guessed!" Qi Lan jumped up excitedly as if she had discovered a new world, "What kind of demons and monsters do they want to use the popularity of so many miners to lure in! So, those miners are all sacrifices!?"

When Qi Lan said this, although he lowered his voice, because he could not hide the excitement in his heart, in the end, he still unconsciously raised his voice. For a while, it attracted a miner who was closer to the two. The miner was small, hunched on his back, and looked malnourished. There is no way to equate him with a person who does manual work.

After hearing Qi Lan's words, the miner's whole body suddenly trembled, and he approached the two of them with a wince, trying to hear their conversation more clearly.

Looking at Qi Lan's sinister look, Ye Shuo almost laughed: "What is in your head...... They do it because it's cheaper for miners. If there is really some large machinery, the machine will have to be repaired if it breaks, but the miners will die when they die, and they have nothing to lose. ”

The miner on the side suddenly began to talk to himself, saying something "can't do this, I have to go back, I have to survive", and his whole body was trembling as he spoke.

Suddenly, the miner slammed into Qilan. Just as the two were about to collide, a soft light enveloped him.

Qi Lan was taken aback and almost fell to the ground on the spot. came back to his senses, hurriedly took a few steps back, and stammered, "You...... Do you ...... Are you trying to kill for money?"

Qi Lan didn't know where to hearsay and learned something strange. It is said that at the construction site or during the mining process, people often seek to make money and kill some treasures obtained along the way. I didn't expect to be met by him at this moment!

"I, I, I'm going to live!" the miner cried out in a trembling voice. Around him was a soft crystal shield that wrapped around him and levitated in the air. But he didn't seem to notice his own abnormality, and he still waved his limbs vigorously, screaming hoarsely.

Qi Lan jumped behind Ye Shuo, "Senior brother, this person wants to beat me......"

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Shuo asked the miner. He asked, and put him down.

"I can't die yet. The miner was half-kneeling on the ground and said only one sentence.

Qi Lan seemed to realize something, so she said, "Don't worry, what kind of demons and monsters, I'm joking with my senior brother." We're just digging for a mine, and there's no problem!"

"Really?" the miner looked up with a shudder, a hint of distrust in his words.

"Of course it's true!" Qi Lan patted her chest on the side. The miner's complexion improved a little under his strong guarantee.

However......

"Boom-" At this moment, another earth-shattering thunderous sound sounded from above everyone's heads. Many miners were so shocked that they fell to the ground. The same was true of the miner from earlier, and his face turned pale.

Qi Lan also rolled twice on the ground because of the shaking earth. "No!" Looking at the slowly cracking layer of soil in front of her, Qi Lan began to be shocked by the power of her crow's beak.

What appeared in front of everyone was two slender, sharp black legs, which looked like some kind of giant insect. Just the legs are so long, so you can imagine how big its body should be.

I think it was this endless mining that woke it up, and woke up some kind of giant monster that was sleeping underground.
