Chapter Twenty-Six: Strange Stories of the Mining Area

The competition on the second day was not unexpected, and the quickwood was successfully promoted, and the content of the exam was also very simple, but it was only for the quickwood.

To engrave two magic patterns on the three spears in half a day, with Liumu's current strength, it is naturally easy.

However, some second-grade forging masters with comparable strength are very difficult, even if some third-grade forging masters are a little careless, and there are not a few who fail to engrave on the three spears in half a day.

Therefore, this day is a lot boring, and the only fun is the appearance of Cheng Lai.

Cheng Lai's face was not small, and he was punched by Liumu and Zhou Qing, and he was even more swollen like a fat man, although the forgers were curious about why Cheng Lai's face was swollen like this, but when he cast a fierce gaze, everyone consciously closed their mouths.

"Driftwood, how about today's competition?"

Su Wen and Huo Ren sat across the table and asked.

Driftwood nodded.

Su Wen looked unconcerned, a little sullen, and he was not interested in the food on the table, which was completely different from the last time he forgot what he had eaten.

Liumu also noticed Su Wen's abnormality, and his heart was very strange.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Su Wen pouted, and said a little boringly: "In the past few days, I have been wandering around the city, so it's boring." ”

It turned out to be boring, and Liumu chuckled when he heard it.

After seeing Liumu's expression, Su Wen was even more deflated, and his thoughts turned in his mind, as if he had thought of something.

Su Wen paused, blinked with big eyes, and said with a smile: "Hey, Liumu, when your competition is over, let's go out of the city to play." ”

Smiling slightly, she was a little curious about Su Wen's identity, most of the ordinary girls want to live a peaceful life in the city, and very few hope to go to the outskirts of the city to have contact with the beasts.

However, after thinking about it, it seems that Su Wen has always been a wild child.

"Where are you going?"

Well..

Su Wen saw that Liumu did not refuse, and instantly became happy like a child.

However, it seems that I haven't really figured out where to go.

"Why don't you go to the general's grave. ”

In recent days, the most popular thing is the forging martial arts conference, after all, this is a game that the forging masters and magnates of Mingcheng will pay attention to almost all day, and it is also hosted by Zhou Qingcheng, so the card is naturally not small.

And the second hot topic is the general's tomb that Su Wen said, not only intentionally or unintentionally, but after Sun Yuan and his party left the city, the news of the general's tomb swept Tianming City.

It's just that some hidden old guys didn't move, so that the news had some doubts, and the martial arts forging conference was imminent, so not too many people paid attention to it for a while.

"Pull it down. Huo Ren on the side wiped a mouthful of oil stains, put down the chicken leg in his hand and said.

"The strength of the beast clan outside the city is not weak, I haven't lived enough. ”

Su Wen shrugged his nose when he heard this, grabbed a peanut and threw it over, obviously angry by Huo Ren's words.

"That's right, our strength is still too low, not suitable for going to those places. ”

Liumu was also stunned when he heard that Su Wen would actually hit the general's grave, and immediately thought that Sun Yuan seemed to have been sent to the general's grave, and his heart moved slightly.

However, the most important thing now is not to be impatient, so he responded calmly.

"Oops, it's not interesting.."

Suven complained.

After seeing Su Wen's cute appearance, Liumu laughed.

"By the way, after the competition, I really need to go out of town. ”

Suddenly, I thought that I had promised Uncle Wang to help him find the fire crystal, and it seemed that he really needed to go out of the city.

"Oh?!where are you going?!"

Su Wen, who was already depressed, suddenly became interested when he saw Liumu's words.

"Mining area on the outskirts of the western part of the city. ”

Su Wenliu frowned, and a puzzled look flashed in his eyes.

"There's something interesting about that place, it's desolate, it's not interesting at all. Huo Ren was also puzzled.

Liumu also shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "I promised Uncle Wang He to help him find a fire crystal. ”

"That's not a good place. After Huo Ren heard this, he nodded and said.

"I heard that there are all condemned prisoners in the city who have committed crimes and are doing coolies, and it is very shady, and almost no cultivator will want to go to that kind of place. ”

"Oh?!"

"That's nature, very few people are willing to do hard work, and the mining area is a remote place on the outskirts of the city, and some high-grade beasts are also hidden around, so most of the people in the mining area are some death row prisoners mining ore. ”

"Some people who have been in the shadows all their lives will go crazy, cannibalism and seek pleasure, so ordinary people dare not go in. ”

I see.

Liumu nodded, a little awake in his heart.

However, since the mining area is a sinful place, and the outlaws gathered in it are even more outlaws, how can the city lord maintain law and order in it, such as Ke to control these outlaws to secure the mining area?

A series of questions arose in Liumu's heart, and he immediately looked up at Huo Ren, who was eager to try, as if he was waiting for himself to ask a question, so he smiled slightly.

"If you describe it this way, how to maintain order, I think the city lord must have his own means to control this group of prisoners. Quickwood asked with a smile.

Huo Ren also smiled, nodded and said, "Indeed, a group of outlaws, when they were exiled to the mining area to work as coolies, were planted with poisonous Gu, and if they escaped from a certain area, they would be poisoned to death. ”

"And the most important thing is that in the three major mining areas on the outskirts of the city, there is a person with comparable strength and leading strength to guard the town. ”

Huo Ren raised his eyebrows and proudly introduced to Liumu.

"However, there is an official road through each mining area, which is very safe, after all, a large amount of ore still needs to be transported back to the city. Huo Ren continued.

Liumu nodded, agreeing, after all, such a measured mining area, I am afraid that the daily output is extremely large, if there is no special road transportation, it will be a huge burden.

Hearing this, he fell silent and began to think about the plan in his heart.

It seems that Wang He also anticipated the danger, but only reminded him a little that he didn't have to find the fire crystal by himself.

It's just that in Liumu's opinion, since he promised Uncle Wang, he naturally has to try his best to try, even if it is really as dangerous as Huo Ren said, he decided to go and see it in person.

Moreover, judging from Huo Ren's description, most of them are also exaggerated, since the mining area is one of the pillar industries of Tianming City, it must have its own thunderous means to maintain order, so he must take a look at the mining area.

"It's not too bad. Quickwood responded.

Su Wen's somewhat dim eyes suddenly lit up, Huo Ren's previous description of the mining area made her very curious, the dark place, the outlaws, undoubtedly sounded more interesting than in this Tianming City.

Just listening to it, Liumu's face became solemn, and he seemed to be afraid of that area, and he thought that he couldn't go, and a sense of loss rose in his heart.

However, when Quickwood spoke again, she suddenly became happy, and she knew that Quickwood seemed to have made up her mind to visit the mine.

"Are you still going?!" Huo Ren slapped his head, and there was a speechless expression on his face.

He described it like this for a long time to let Driftwood retreat, after all, the world outside the city is still extremely dangerous, and it is a nest of death row prisoners, so he naturally doesn't want Driftwood to take risks.

"My half-day spitting star is in vain. ”

Liumu laughed and said seriously: "Since you promised someone, you naturally want to give it a try." ”

Huo Ren was bitter for a while, and he was very resistant to that place.

"Oh, you coward, I'll go!"

After Su Wen saw Huo Ren's expression, he glanced at him with hatred, and then pulled Liumu's arm and shook it vigorously.

This goblin who is not afraid of things is not aware of the dangers of the outside world at all.

Liumu looked at Su Wen's beautiful face, and his heart moved slightly, but he also shook his head helplessly.

"It's too dangerous. He said.

In fact, Liumu already had an idea in his heart, even if this kind of place was not as dangerous as Huo Ren said, it would not be much worse, so he still wanted to go with the old man, at least there was a certain guarantee in case of danger.

"Huh?!"

Su Wen's eyes widened when he heard this, and a pair of small pink fists shook in front of Liumu's eyes.

She wasn't worried that Quickwood would refuse, so she immediately waved her little fist and began to threaten, if she dared not agree, she would make him suffer a little.

Liumu ignored it and continued to speak: "Huo Ren, you also advanced yesterday. ”

"Almost all the three-rank forging masters in the city have appeared. ”

Seeing that Liumu suddenly changed the topic and talked about yesterday's competition, Su Wen was deflated again.

Huo Ren nodded, and said sadly: "I didn't expect that there would be five third-grade forging masters in this forging martial arts conference. ”

"Twenty, it seems that this is the end of the day. ”

He chewed a piece of meat a little speechlessly, his eyes were full of loss, even if he failed the assessment of the third-grade forging master, he had not seen Huo Ren so negative.

Now that Huo Ren is so decadent, it can be seen how big the so-called blow to him was seen in yesterday's competition.

Although Huo Ren's forging talent is not low, and his techniques are also very exquisite, compared to Liu Xi's patience, there is still a gap in simplicity, even if Liu Xi has just been promoted to a second-grade forging master.

In addition, several third-grade forging masters appeared yesterday, and when they finally advanced to the finals, they were almost defeated by Liu Xi, which made himself who has always regarded himself as a talent quite a hit.

Quickwood did not deny, for the final on the third day, the second-grade forging master has almost come to an end, and the final competition is to win the strongest, in other words, the third day is almost the competition of the third-grade forging master.

"However, Cheng Lai's strength is really strong! he can still win the first place even if he is injured, and he is worthy of being a veteran third-grade forging master. Huo Ren analyzed with a serious face.

Poof...

As soon as he heard Huo Ren mention Cheng Lai, Su Wen, who was quiet on the side, laughed again, causing Liumu and Huo Ren to be puzzled for a while.

"Haha, Cheng Lai's face today is much more interesting than the game. Su Wen said with a smile.

Ha ha..

The two who were still stunned all laughed when they heard this, and Liumu snickered in his heart, after all, he still gave a punch himself.
