As I continued to hurry, the surrounding scenery changed, the dense and dark trees around the woods, towering trees rose from the ground, and the ground was also covered with green weeds.

Half an hour ago, a sparse crowd could be seen in the dense forest, and at this time, only the howls of the beasts echoed in the ears of the four of them.

It's just that, since this is the official road of Tianming City, there are often crowds of people coming and going, and the beast clan rarely gathers around here, and the journey is considered smooth.

About ten miles away from Tianming City, the three of them finally saw a post station, so the four of them decided to rest temporarily and continue on their way in the afternoon.

Zhou Qing patted the horse down, and his eyes searched around.

At this time, the door guard in front of the door came over, and after seeing Zhou Qing, he nodded slightly.

"Is the Iron Commander here?"

Zhou Qing also walked to the guards and asked.

"The Iron Commander just left here a few days ago, and I'm afraid he won't be here again in a short time. ”

The guard responded.

Zhou Qing nodded when he heard this, and walked directly to the post station.

Since they had already greeted each other before, the guards took the four of them directly to a special room.

"It's so quiet!"

As soon as he entered the house, Huo Ren sighed lightly.

The space in the house is not very large, and the decoration is not very luxurious, but it is in this suburb that the more simple the decoration, the fresher and more pleasant.

Driftwood's gaze swept around, and his heart was also comfortable.

There is no unique incense in the Cangyuan Building, but there is a little breeze passing through it, and it is extremely comfortable to blow across the face.

The guards served unknown tea to everyone, which was fresh and refreshing, and the fatigue along the way suddenly dissipated.

"What a fairy life!"

Huo Ren lay directly on the chair regardless of the image and sighed again.

Seeing this, Liumu smiled slightly, understanding in his heart.

Huo Ren has been growing up in Tianming City, almost never out of the city, the world outside the city is completely unknown, at this time, feeling the pleasant environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is natural like a wild horse, spreading joy everywhere.

On the side, Su Wen did not exaggerate, gently picked up the tea, took a sip with his small mouth, and looked very enjoyable.

Driftwood kept looking around, and it was clear that the mental tension had not been completely released.

"Sister Qing'er, can you tell us about the situation in the mining area?"

Liumu looked at Zhou Qing and asked.

This trip, after all, is serious, and Liumu naturally doesn't want to drag it out too much, so he immediately went straight to the topic and asked Zhou Qing.

It is Zhou Qing who has done his homework here, and he has obviously found out.

From the horses prepared in the city, and the guards who received them as soon as they arrived at the post station, there was no doubt that Zhou Qing had already found out the situation here.

When Zhou Qing heard this, he smiled.

The western mining area, located fifteen miles away from Tianming City, has a huge range of dense forests, and further out is a large area of ridges interlaced, in which the beasts are entrenched, and the treasures of heaven and earth are gathered.

Countless cultivators gathered here, exploring in this dense forest, even if the danger was everywhere and the beast clan was fierce, they also hoped to gain some chance here.

In order to try to change his destiny, he has soared into the sky.

And in this dangerous dense forest, the safest thing is to seek a team and partners, after all, the beast clan itself is extremely strong, and it is very dangerous to go it alone.

Zhou Qing first slowly explained the surrounding environment, and then mentioned the so-called destination of the group.

"About three miles along the official road is the mining area. ”

Quickwood made a thoughtful expression, and there seemed to be some plan in his heart.

"However, the orcs are often frequented on this road, and the horses are easily frightened, so we need to walk. ”

Zhou Qing continued.

"I don't know, if the fire spar that Uncle Wang He asked for is really here. ”

Hearing this, Liumu spoke, and there were some doubts in his words.

Zhou Qing also nodded and comforted: "Although fire crystal is a fire attribute ore, it is often produced in extremely cold places, so it will not be too difficult to think about. ”

However, just when Liumu breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Qing raised his head again.

She said softly: "The mining area in the west is generally only used to collect ordinary ore, and it is generally not too deep, if it is really necessary, you can only go to the mining area in person." ”

Driftwood nodded, indicating that he understood.

Since he had already arrived here, in order to find the fire crystal, these things were already within the expected range of Liumu, so after hearing Zhou Qing's words, he did not show a timid expression.

"The death row prisoners in the mine won't really kill us. ”

Huo Ren saw the two chatting with serious faces, and immediately asked what he was most worried about.

Poof..

After Zhou Qing heard Huo Ren's words, he couldn't help but smile.

"No, before entering the mine, the Iron Commander will give each of us a token, and if the death row prisoner resists, he will immediately retaliate. ”

Zhou Qing explained with a smile.

However, Huo Ren still had a look of worry in his eyes, after all, he was in a cage, and there was security.

Liumu nodded immediately.

Tianming City must have its own means to control such a large mining area, which he had expected earlier.

However, Huo Ren's worries are not completely unreasonable, if the death row prisoners are not controlled by strong means, then the four of them are like going deep into the tiger's den.

Even if the strength of the four people is to the sky, in the end, they will be invincible with two fists and four hands, and outlaws will not spare their lives like them.

"Don't provoke the prisoners too much, it's going to be fine. ”

Seeing that Huo Ren's face was always a little ugly, Zhou Qing patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Whew..."

Huo Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that those death row prisoners had not seen anyone alive for a long time, and it would be a very tricky thing to suddenly attack.

"Don't worry, I will definitely ignore them when the time comes, the master's life is very precious. ”

Huo Ren's words immediately made everyone laugh.

At this moment, a guard walked in, his eyes swept over the people in the room, and finally looked at Zhou Qing.

With a smile on her face, she got up and walked out.

Driftwood was curious and guessed.

Most of it is information related to the Golden Devil, so it's inconvenient for a group of people to know.

After thinking about it, anyway, he came here for the fire spar, and since Zhou Qing took over the task, he also had his own way to deal with it.

So, Liumu didn't think much about it and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Half an hour later

Zhou Qing walked back to the house lightly, and saw that Huo Ren and Su Wen were still talking and laughing, so he immediately sorted out his expressions before returning to his original position and sitting down.

And Zhou Qing's action naturally fell into the eyes of Liumu, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about what news Zhou Qing heard.

It's probably not good news.

Seeing that Zhou Qing didn't speak for a long time, Liumu could only guess in his heart that this should not be good news.

....

At the guard of the mining area, one person shouted angrily.

"What?!Killed another person?!"

Syllable...

A wide palm slammed down on the table, and Tie Ling was furious, his eyes full of murderous intent, looking at the guard in front of him who was reporting information.

Tie Ling is the leader of the mining area in Zhou Qing's mouth, at this time, his face is as solemn as an iceberg, cold and biting, and the smell of blood is even more permeating his body, obviously a battle-hardened general.

However, these fierce generals also have headaches, a few days ago, I don't know what went wrong, there was actually a prisoner who escaped, and this prisoner is the Golden Devil.

This is a big sin, who would have thought that this escaped Golden Demon not only did not catch it, but killed a Wang guard.

Suddenly, he felt that this matter must be related to the Wang family, and hurriedly reported it to Tianming City.

The city lord was righteous and did not hold him accountable, not because Tie Ling had a big face, but because Zhou Qing thought that the Golden Demon was already a dying person, and he could order him to be arrested.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and because of this, he didn't dare to leave the mine for the past few days, and waited all day long, for fear of another loophole.

Who would have thought, after a few days of stable life, this golden demon actually killed again, and Tie Ling's head was big again.

"Yes... This time, it was still a second-grade silver spirit warrior. ”

The guard in front of him trembled a little, and finally said the strength of the dead guard with a trembling voice.

"What?!"

This time, Tie Ling's face was no longer full of anger, but full of shock.

"Didn't the Golden Demon not even be a spirit warrior before, why was he suddenly so strong and killed two silver spirit warriors in a row!"

Tie Ling's face was slightly distorted and said.

The guards in front of him were even more frightened when they saw this, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so they could look at Tie Ling in silence.

And Tie Ling also had a gloomy face, tapping his five fingers back and forth on the table, making a thoughtful appearance.

After a long silence, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze, and the guards also felt extremely depressed, and they all felt dry.

At this moment, a guard who seemed to be the leader walked out and bowed down and clenched his fists.

"Commander, why is this forbidden motorcycle coming back?"

He asked suddenly.

"Isn't there something in this mine that he's hiding, or something he has to come back to get it?"

After the man saluted, he guessed to himself and did not look at Tie Ling again.

"Huh?!"

Tie Ling was also stunned when he heard this.

He felt that things were a little weird, it was said that the Golden Demon must be very depressed after being imprisoned for a long time, and it was understandable to kill people, but if he returned to prison, it would be a little unreasonable.

A person who is finally free will no longer be willing to be easily controlled.

It's a bit puzzling to think about it.

"What do you want to say?!"

He asked as he looked at the guard with a solemn face.

"I feel that since the Golden Demon has thrown himself into the net, there must be something strange in the mine, but no matter what it is, he has already thrown himself into the net, and it is easy to kill the cave with the strength of the leader. ”

Under the guard's persuasion, Tie Ling's frowning brows were also relieved, and he felt that there was some reason.

The performance of the Golden Devil in the past few days is indeed terrifying, but it is not beyond the controllable range.

The second-grade silver spirit, if he is full of his own, he can also kill him.

The most important thing is that he has the right time and place, the limited scope of the mine, the prohibition and suppression, and a number of guards.

Just a prisoner really scared himself.

Immediately, Tie Ling no longer had a sad expression, and looked at the guards in front of him with satisfaction.

"What's your name. ”

He asked.

"Under Xu Zhe. ”
