These ice-based monsters include ice snakes, ice bears, ice wolves, ice birds, etc. It's all social monsters. Although they are not large and their strength is mostly in the early stage of condensation, they are very fierce and very difficult.
Therefore, every time the beast tide appears, all the mine slaves in the mine will join forces with Low Yu, and everyone will work together to fight these ice-based demon beasts, otherwise there will be a total annihilation.
What made Qin Yuxuan even more worried was that although this Mine Zero Cave was huge, there were very few edible things in the cave, and coupled with the thin aura here, it was extremely difficult to absorb the aura. Therefore, the monks could not go without food for a long time, as the outside world did.
If the miners want to survive, they must either kill the monsters in the mine and devour their flesh and blood, or they can rely on the spirit stones they collect more to directly exchange food and elixir from the Southern Barbarian guards.
Although the spirit stones in this No. 0 mine are abundant, after hundreds of years of mining by the monks of the Dian Kingdom in the past, the spirit stones in the peripheral mining area have long been almost mined. Therefore, the mining slaves who were later captured by the Southern Barbarians could only keep moving deeper into the mine if they wanted to find enough spirit stones. Of course, the tunnels in the depths are much more dangerous.
In the mines, the origins of the mine slaves are different. Although the Shushan faction and the Dian monks were the mainstay, there were also quite a few monks from other forces. In this kind of mine, it is even more common to rob each other of ore and food. In addition to the people they are familiar with, most of the strange monks will fight.
This kind of fight is naturally endless. The loser was bruised and plundered to nothing, or even lost his life.
The thin man was specially ambushed at the entrance of the cave, trying to rob the mine slaves who heard the sound of water and went to the dark river.
After learning about these circumstances, Qin Yuxuan cut the man's throat with a sword, and then took out the Hundred Ghost Banner and put his soul into the flag.
And his corpse was naturally fed to the ghost spirit scorpion. In this mine with thin aura, if you want to maintain the combat power of the ghost spirit scorpion, devouring the corpses of demon beasts and monks is more important than when you are on the ground.
After doing all this, Qin Yuxuan continued to walk forward, preparing to go to the dark river to take a look.
The area of Mine Zero is so large, but there are only more than 500 miners. His desire to find his dream in such a large mining area is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, Qin Yuxuan was not panicked, because on the thirtieth day of every month, all the mine slaves would go to the huge cave hall at the entrance to hand in spirit stones in exchange for antidotes and supplies. Therefore, as long as he gets there, he will definitely be able to see Shumeng.
Of course, there must be a premise for this: that is, the dream is still alive.
"According to Su Nian, Shumeng is already a Great Perfection cultivation in the condensation stage, and among these mine slaves, they should be the strongest. She should still be alive......" Qin Yuxuan thought secretly in his heart.
However, when he arrived at the dark river, he found that there were no valuable clues except for a dark river, neither monks passing by nor demon beasts. As for the spirit stone, it is even more gone.
So, after thinking for a moment, he had no choice but to cross the dark river and walk towards a certain mine road on the other side......
For the next twenty days, Qin Yuxuan wandered in this mine.
First, it is to collect spirit stones, so that they can make up the task of 100,000 spirit stones in exchange for the antidote.
Second, he also wanted to familiarize himself with the roads and terrain in the mine, so that when the beast tide arrived, or when he encountered a strong enemy, he could retreat as quickly as possible to reach safety.
After more than 20 days of exploration and fighting, Qin Yuxuan finally figured out most of the terrain of the mine tunnel.
Only the deepest part, the area of the mine near the Yushan Mountain Range, he did not enter. After all, it's too dangerous, and the terrain is much more complex than the outlying areas, so it's very easy for first-time visitors to get lost.
Qin Yuxuan was also worried that if he got lost and missed the thirtieth, he would be miserable if he couldn't get this month's antidote.
The hard work paid off, after more than 20 days of collection, he not only completed the collection task of 100,000 spirit stones, but also had a little leftover. Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that he has a ghost scorpion that burrows into the ground. This guy can go deep into the ground more than 100 zhang deep and dig out those deep-buried middle-grade spirit stones and high-grade spirit stones.
In this way, he can complete the mission without going to the deepest dangerous places in the mine.
"Almost, it's only three days until the thirtieth, and I should go up to the hall where I got my mining tools and ore bags. Qin Yuxuan said to himself.
So he picked up his bag and strode towards the place from which he had come.
Perhaps it was close to the end of the month, and soon after Qin Yuxuan left the area and entered the mine path leading to the Great Cave Hall, he began to encounter some scattered mine slaves. And they were all without exception, carrying the same bag of ore, and they were hurrying back, and the direction was exactly the same as Qin Yuxuan.
Most of these people's cultivation is between the early and middle stages of condensation. But all of them were pale and thin. Compared with Qin Yuxuan, his complexion is too far behind.
Therefore, when they saw Qin Yuxuan, a trace of vigilance rose on their faces, and they all sped up their pace to rush forward, or immediately stopped and let Qin Yuxuan go over first. No one dared to get too close to Qin Yuxuan.
Facing the cautious appearance of these people, Qin Yuxuan couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart. He knew that this was because he had only entered the mine for a short time, and the spiritual power in his body had not been consumed much, and his complexion was good, which made these people think that he was a strong master, so he did not dare to provoke himself.
However, just as Qin Yuxuan passed through several cave chambers and came to a small cave hall, he was suddenly startled and stopped reading.
Because he found that in this cave hall, there were two groups of mine slaves facing each other with cold eyebrows, each holding weapons such as bone knives and bone hammers, and posing as if they were going to fight.
And when Qin Yuxuan appeared next to them, the two waves of people glanced at him sharply, but seeing that he was just alone, they relaxed their hearts again and glared at each other angrily.
Qin Yuxuan was slightly curious, he also wanted to see if there were any dreams among the two people, so he stopped and looked carefully.
These two groups of people stood on the left and right, and on the left were two men and two women, although they were in rags, they could still vaguely see that they should be captured disciples of the Shushan faction. Only one of them was in the middle stage of condensation, and the other three were all in the early stage of condensation.
On the right are six monks from the Dian Kingdom, all of whom are men, and three of them are in the middle stage of condensation, and three are in the early stage of condensation, and their strength is obviously stronger than that of the Shushan faction.
