Chapter 338: Gold Eater
Bai Tian was also surprised, he didn't expect his identity as an immortal cultivator to be revealed so easily. ()
It seems that mortals have invented something to detect spiritual power.
This is not surprising, in such an environment, if someone smuggles the spirit stone out, they can check it out at once.
Bai Tian didn't hide his identity and nodded.
The guard shouted at the guard on the other side of the wall. "You go and report that a new bounty hunter is here, and he's still an immortal cultivator. ”
After a while, the guard who reported appeared on the inside of the fence and nodded at the guard outside.
"The manager agrees with you, after entering, you are not allowed to use spiritual power, walk along the green road, and the manager will receive you personally. ”
After the guard finished speaking, he made a gesture of letting go.
The heavy steel gate opened.
Entering the spirit mine during the day, there is no dirty environment as imagined.
Everything is very orderly and tidy, and it is surrounded by the kind of boxy buildings, which gives the impression of being neat.
The ground is divided into three coloured routes, green, yellow, and blue.
The occasional passing miner shows that there is a strict order.
The miners wear uniform and must walk according to the yellow route and cannot exceed the boundary.
The yellow route leads to the various quad buildings, where miners can only work according to the prescribed route.
Daylight was a little curious, and the miners he met along the way showed a wary look when they saw him.
It's really extraordinarily strict, and the day can only sigh and follow the green route to an office.
The manager of this spiritual mine was a middle-aged man in his forties, a mortal, with black and white hair well-groomed, and a square face that exuded a charm.
This charm can be used anytime, anywhere.
An old fox, Bai Tian commented in his heart, he had a strange feeling in his heart, this manager's face was a vegetable, very weak and weak, as if he had been poisoned by chronic poison.
"Bounty Hunter, you're a lot younger than I thought you were. The person in charge of the Spirit Mine stood up, seemingly pleased with the arrival of the bounty hunter. "My name is Wang Yi, the manager of the Xishan Spirit Mine. ”
"I took the assignment you posted. Daylight handed over the ID card.
"Night Raven, pig iron level bounty hunter, isn't there a more powerful person in the Bounty Guild of Withered Leaf City? ”
Wang Yi glanced at the identity card and returned it. "I'm not targeting you, it's just that the previous hunters of pig iron, including bronze, didn't perform as well as they wanted, scrap copper and rotten iron, you know. ”
"I'm not like them. Bai Tian said.
"Yes, I heard that you are an immortal cultivator, but now the status of an immortal cultivator is not like before, in the mortal world, you must always be careful, otherwise one day you will be stabbed in the back, let's start quickly, talk about your method. ”
Daylight said, "Before I begin, I need to know a little bit about the gold eater, when did it first appear?"
"Shortly after I came here, it popped up. Wang Yi said.
"What about the last one?"
"Ten days ago, it ate ten medium-grade spirit stones. ”
"Then it eats so many spirit stones every time?"
"This is not necessarily, there are a few times, but there are a lot of times, not fixed, does this have anything to do with catching it?" Wang Yi asked.
"Maybe there is, maybe not. Bai Tian said something incomprehensible.
Wang Yi showed disdain and pursed his lips. "If you don't really know you hunters, it's really like that, and you're asking these questions just to make yourself professional. ”
"Perhaps, when did it commit crimes?" Bai Tian asked.
Wang Yi replied. "There's no pattern, but whoever came here to capture him and it was all played around, okay, bounty hunter, you're here to capture it, what do you mean?"
"Just to understand some of the basics. "I glanced around during the day, saw the bookshelves that occupied one wall, and my eyes flashed with gold, and I went through the names of each book. "You like to read, and I like to, you can learn a lot from books. ”
Wang Yi was a little impatient. "That's enough, Night Raven, let's get down to business, how are you going to catch it. ”
He got up during the day, looking calm. "Take me to the place where I lost the spirit stone. ”
They followed the blue passage to the vault where the spirit stones were kept.
Wang Yi began to introduce. "The processed spirit stones stored here, the walls, the ground, and the ceiling of the vault are all made of the strongest fusion metal, with a total of ten layers, reinforced layer by layer, and the gate is made of super materials, which can withstand the full attack of the immortal cultivators of the Five Realms. ”
"Mosquitoes can't even get into this place, but the gold eater can get it every time?"
"The gold-eating monster seems to be able to penetrate walls, and nothing can stop it, and the spirit stone just disappears out of thin air, leaving no hole. ”
Daylight continued to ask, "Did anyone see what it looked like?"
"Yes, many people have seen it, saying that it looks like a big rat, covered with a layer of scales like armor. ”
As soon as Wang Yi's words fell, a piercing alarm sounded.
Wang Yi broke out of the door and came to the vault in a hurry, where several guards gathered in front of the door.
"Call everyone over, the gold eater is coming to steal the spirit stone again!!," Wang Yi shouted, pulling out the vault key and inserting it into the keyhole.
It took the four guards to pull the heavy gate open.
When the alarm sounded, guards poured in from all directions, flooding the vault.
After Wang Yi opened the door, he rushed into the vault with more than a dozen of his subordinates.
Early in the morning, the Eyes of War were opened, and their eyes turned into the golden glow of the setting sun.
He followed the manager Wang Yi, his brow furrowed slightly, because he had discovered something very strange.
The vault was full of spirit stones, stacked into cubes, neatly arranged, shining with treasure light everywhere, filled with heaven and earth aura.
There is no shadow of a gold eater, but one of the cubes is missing a corner, and there are probably more than twenty medium-grade spirit stones missing.
"You rice buckets!! Wang Yi jumped like thunder, and the guards stood straight and silent.
"I can't even do this!!A bunch of pigs!You can throw away the spirit stone right under your nose!!"
"The spirit stones you lost are worth more than you combined!
Wang Yi came out with all the swear words, and when he had scolded enough, he came to Bai Tian and spit out. "Bounty Hunter, you can get out, you didn't play any role, and I didn't expect you to do anything. ”
Bai Tian looked at Wang Yi and showed a kind smile. "I haven't caught the thief yet. ”
Wang Yi roared: "It stole more than twenty mid-grade spirit stones in front of you, isn't that enough to prove your incompetence?"
"Don't be so angry, I want to talk to you privately. Wang Yi said.
"I don't have time to waste on you. ”
"This is not a request. Bai Tian leaned into Wang Yi's ear and said in a voice that only two people could hear. "Fellow Daoist. ”
Wang Yi's body trembled, looking at the harmless face of humans and animals in the daytime, he actually had a feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake.
Wang Yi don't overdo it. "Don't say anything, follow me. ”
