"Chief, it may be true, he was in front of a boulder when we tied him up, and it seemed that he was going to do something," the subordinate next to him whispered.

"Waste, why didn't you say it earlier"

"The kid ran there alone, and I wouldn't have guessed it if he hadn't said that. At that time, the Shi family's "Ten Thousand Stone Records" was indeed very famous, and it is said that it really recorded the location of the ore in the mountain."

The leader nodded, "This kid is a little interesting, let's get this chip out."

"Okay, I promise you," the leader smiled, but he knew very well in his heart that a few lives were nothing, and they were not as valuable as a piece of fine iron ore.

"Released" a group of people into the house and led a group of children out of the house.

The two murderous girls watched a group of children come out, their brows furrowed, and they wanted to say something, but they couldn't say anything.

"Boy, listen to me, get out of here, I'll give you 7 days, if you can't find the mine after 7 days, I'll kill them all"

"Seven days is too short, I can't get the ore back at all," Shi Yan said.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, my people will follow you, take out the best ore, they will be saved, a piece of ore for a life, the more mines, the longer their lives."

"Okay~" Shi Yan replied.

~~~~~

On the third day after leaving the bloody warehouse, the black-clad leader had a crescent-shaped mark on each child's arm, a custom of their profession, to make it easier for them to go out on a mission. Of course, normal people will not have this, once they have this mark, the armies of various countries will not recognize them, in other words, the rock army of the country of stone will not accept them.

When the army of each country recruits soldiers, it will see if there are any special marks, and those with marks will be excluded, such as mercenaries, such marks are recorded, once found, they will be killed. Once the imprint is formed, it is almost doomed to the fate of this group of children, destined to be a group of people hiding in dark corners.

"You're all full, you've drunk enough, it's time to take us to find ore," the leader said with a smile as he looked at Shi Yan.

This is the first time Shi Yan has seen the leader's face clearly, to be honest, this person really looks little different from ordinary people, on the road, no one will doubt his identity, if it weren't for this black cloak, maybe Shi Yan just thought he was a passerby.

"Yes~" Shi Yan said.

"Hehe, well, you prepare, tomorrow I will have someone take you to find ore, if you lie to us, I will kill all these children, you know, I will do it" The leader laughed.

"It's too bloody here, I want to take Xiaoyu with Arus," Shi Yan said.

"Yes, as long as you can find the spirit stone mine, you can talk about it here in the future, but you only have 7 days," the leader said.

"Okay," Shi Yan replied seriously.

Xiaoyu is weak and sickly, and if Shi Yan doesn't take her with him, it is estimated that he will starve to death in a few days. Looking for ore is just an excuse for Shi Yan, how does he know where there is a superb mine, he just pinned his hope on Zhu Xiong, as long as he can leave here, there is a way to contact the army of Shi Zhiguo, and then this group of children will really be saved.

Arus was very smart, he could see Shi Yan's thoughts at a glance, and privately tried everything to please Shi Yan, begging him to take him with him when he left. If Shi Yan didn't take him away, he would go to Gaomi and say that Shi Yan was lying to them, and everyone would not be able to leave at that time, and they would die together.

Shi Yan thought about it for a while, although this boy was a scoundrel, but he also helped himself at a critical moment, and he was the kind of person who relied on him when he was in trouble, and secondly, he could see his plan, which showed that he had a lot of social experience, and it might be useful to bring him with him, and finally decided to take the two of them away together. Originally, I thought that the leader must not agree, but how do I know that this leader agreed!

But in fact, Shi Yan was too naïve, this group of mercenaries obviously didn't believe in themselves, after leaving their lair, the three of them were chained together, first blindfolded and walked for a long time, until they couldn't tell the way, the black cloth untied their blindfolds, Shi Yan only hated himself for being too incompetent, if he had the ability to call the old man Situ Zhen, he would kill all of them in an instant.

"Brother Xiaoyan" Xiaoyu gently pulled Shi Yan and whispered, "I want to go to the toilet."

After walking for about a day, the four men in black looked dead, looking at Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance, Shi Yan looked at the man in black and said, "Can we take a break, I want to go to the toilet."

"Hmph~" The man in black looked at him and said disdainfully, "Yes, you can do whatever you want, anyway, the leader said, give you 7 days, if you can't find the stone mine you said, you can collect the corpses of those children."

"You can rest assured," Shi Yan said, and the three of them went into the grass together.

"Suffocate me," Arus said, and began to release the water.

"Shameless" Xiaoyu covered her eyes and lay on Shi Yan's shoulder.

"I said, little sister, don't make trouble, okay, when is this, what kind of face do I want," Arus said, with a happy look.

"Xiaoyu, you go there, we don't look," Shi Yan said.

"Brother Xiaoyan, I don't want to go to the toilet, I have something to tell you," Xiaoyu whispered.

"Huh? You lied to me? ”

"You come here"

Shi Yan leaned his ear over, and after Arus put the water, he watched Shi Yan's face change color, and finally looked at Xiaoyu in front of him incredulously, and asked, "Xiaoyu, I didn't go to school, don't lie to me."

"Don't worry, Xiaoyu will take his life and pack the ticket"

"If it's really great, I believe you" Shi Yan said, and suddenly smiled and said, "That, rain, you turn around, I want to release the water."

"Shameless," Arus said, pulling up his pants.

"Oh" Xiaoyu pursed her lips and earned, and as soon as she turned around, she heard Arus exclaim, "Oh, I'll go, you're so long?" ”

"Fuck off, I can't release water anymore"

"Mom~" Arus said, looking at the light rain, his eyes looking at the sky, thinking about what Arus said.

~~~~~

Out of the grass, a group of black-clothed people looked at the three children in front of them with a smile.

"It's over, let's go."

"Wait~" Seeing that the man in black was about to hurry, Shi Yan suddenly stopped.

"What? Still have no water? ”

"No," Shi Yan shook his head, "that mountainside, there are spars."

"Huh?" The man in black looked at where Shi Yan pointed. Four people, you look at me, I look at you.

"Amuse you, it's so close to us, why didn't we know there was a hedrome there"

"There's so much you don't know, not only do I know it's there, I also know it's the black spar in the ore," Shi Yan said.

Arus's stomach swirled as he listened, wondering if this girl was crazy, and finally ran out, not taking the opportunity to escape, bragging about others, and fucking black spars. What is a spar, it is an ancient beast fossil that absorbs demonic energy.

Shi Yan looked at Arus's face turned white, and picked his right eyelid, this girl clearly doesn't believe herself, in fact, Shi Yan and Arus are in a similar mood, because this news was told to him by Xiaoyu, if he tells Arus the truth, it is estimated that he can pee out without taking off his pants.

"Little ghost, you have to think about it, if you lie to us, you know the consequences," said the man in black.

"Don't talk nonsense, go back and report it quickly, if you're lucky, you can get it in a few days," Shi Yan said.

"Okay," the man in black said, assigning one of his men to report back overnight.

"You three are lucky," said the man in black, and sat them down, lit a bonfire, and gave them food or something.

"If you're kind to us, maybe I'll tell you a separate mine in the future," Shi Yan looked at the man in charge and smiled.

"Little ghost, you're only 10 years old, you know how to demagogue, hehe, don't be too complacent, it's not necessarily a blessing or a curse this time" The man in black said and ate by himself.

Shi Yan didn't think about it in her heart, she looked at Xiaoyu beside her, Xiaoyu at this moment was the most relaxed among the three, seeing Shi Yan looking at herself, Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Brother Shi Yan, you are awesome."

"Hehehehehe" Shi Yan smiled expressionlessly.

Looking at Arus, I saw that Arus's face was also changing color at the moment, Shi Yan's expression told him that he was lying, Arus's lips trembled, for 16-year-old Arus, he already has a deep awareness of life, unlike Shi Yan, who is only 10 years old, how can he know what it means to be afraid.

"Let's have a bite to eat," Shi Yan broke open a piece of bread and handed it to Arus.

"I said Brother Shi Yan, what you said is true or false," Arus asked in a low voice.

"Huh? You call me brother? ”

"I'll wipe it, if you can really find it, you can call grandpa"

"Actually, I don't know if it's true or not?"

"Ah~" Arus's face turned pale, and after a while, he seemed to understand it, looked down at the thin soup in the bowl and drank it, and then gulped down the dry food.

~~~~~

The sky was bright, and a man in black woke up Shi Yan and the three of them, and asked Shi Yan to lead the way, first to explore the truth and reality, and then directly open the mine after the leader came. Guided by the light rain, Shi Yan and Arus walked towards the depths of the woods.

When I got up in the morning, the fog in the forest was very large, and from time to time there were a few bird calls and beast cries, and the three children walked in front of them with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and not long after leaving, Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed Shi Yan and Laruz, and the man in black behind him also stopped.

"Let's go, why don't you go," the man in black urged.

"What's wrong Xiaoyu?" Shi Yan asked in a low voice.

"There's movement in the woods, as if something is coming towards us," Xiaoyu said.

"Sister, don't scare me, I'm cowardly," Arus said with a bitter face.

"Roar~"

As the three of them spoke, the low roar of some beast came from the forest mist. In this situation, hearing this voice, everyone's scalp was a little numb. Shi Yan secretly screamed badly, it was very likely that he had encountered a certain demon beast.

"Roar~" There were several low roars, and everyone was stunned, since the voices came from all directions, it seemed that there was more than one.

"Oh no, it could be a herd of monsters, we may have violated their territory," a man in black said in horror.

"Guards by demons, is there really a spirit stone mine here," said another man in black.

"Roar~"

In the mist, a hazy black shadow appeared, and then one after another, black shadows appeared one after another. Fear took over and everyone was frightened.

"Brother Xiaoyan, run," Xiaoyu shouted.

Shi Yan was okay, Arus didn't have time to show and was dragged into the fog by the two of them at once. Xiaoyu led the way in front, and Shi Yan and Arus followed her and disappeared into the fog at once.

"Hit," said the two men in black.

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow burst out, dragging a man in black directly into the mist, and the screams of the man in black were endless, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

~~~~~

"What about people?" The leader came to the campfire of several people, and only some charcoal had been burned.

"I was still there last night, so I may have gone to the mountainside."

"These three fools, there is a magical beast in this valley~" The leader said, leading dozens of people in the direction of the valley.

"Huh~~" There was an angry roar from the valley, and all the people in black were holding their breath.

"Oh no, they seem to have alarmed it," the leader said, speeding up his pace toward the valley. About half an hour later, the leader saw a man in black running out of the dense forest.

"What about the three children?" The leader asked.

"I don't know, a group of big guys suddenly came out and knocked the two companions away, it was too chaotic and we ran away"

The leader of the "waste" said, and the knife flashed in front of him, and the man in black who escaped was slashed open.

"Damn, these three little bastards shouldn't be lying to me," the leader said, looking at the jungle in front of him.

"Chief, what now?" A man in black beside him asked.

"Dead or alive, find these three children for me," the leader commanded.

"Yes~"

The group split into three paths and started looking for the three children from three different places. In the woods, the monsters kept roaring, and from time to time there were bursts of fighting, and in the corner of the forest, Shi Yan and Arus, led by Xiaoyu, kept running towards the depths of the forest.

"Xiaoyu, where are you going to take us?" Shi Yan asked.

"Brother Xiaoyan, you follow me, there is a safe place ahead," Xiaoyu said as she ran.

"I said, 'How do you know?' Have you been here? Arus asked at the end.

"I haven't been here, but I feel that there is something more powerful in front of me, and I guess this group of monsters will not dare to approach," Xiaoyu said as she ran.

"Feelings? Estimate? Shi Yan exclaimed.

"Don't worry, you can't run out anyway, why don't you believe me once" Xiaoyu replied.

"me, it's definitely the most meaningful day I've ever had in my life," Arus said with a sad face.

"Why?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"I've seen you for a long time, and I'm going to follow my feelings," Arus said with a wry smile.

"Haha" Shi Yan couldn't help laughing, and so did Xiaoyu. All three of them laughed silly.

"Huh~" Just when the three children were about to be naïve, a roar came from behind them.

"Xiaoyu, my life is in your hands," Arus shouted as he looked behind him.

"Trust me, it's coming"

At this moment, a huge demon beast pounced from behind~

"Light rain~~~" The valley echoed with the shouts of Arus~~

~~~~~

"Chief, it's not good, one of the teams of centaurs is surrounded by monsters, what should I do?" A man in black came back to report.

"These three little ones are smashed, and when I catch them, I will not have to skin them alive," said the leader, turning back and shouting loudly, "Retreat."

"What about the brothers?" The man in black asked.

"We can't save them, this is the territory of demon beasts, we are too passive here, sooner or later we will all be killed by them"

The leader said, waving his hand, and led the group out of the valley.
