Chapter 26: Subtle Cracks

Ye Chen and the others were discussing, discussing the development and future of the Sword Pavilion fiercely, but they were stumped by such a question. Wu Ming and the other three immediately looked at Ye Chen expectantly, hoping that this young pavilion master could give a satisfactory answer.

Hehe!

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Let's not forget, what are we doing now, we are all mining slaves, mining slaves." ”

"Mining slaves?"

Wu Ming looked stunned, he didn't understand what this sentence meant, he turned his eyes to look at Li Lao on the side, and suddenly found that Li Lao had a thoughtful expression. Then, Yi Shui's eyes on one side lit up, like a bright light in the night.

"Pavilion Master, you mean, we can dig a tunnel?" Yi Shui asked with a slightly surprised expression.

"Digging a tunnel?"

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized in a blink of an eye, he was pleasantly surprised: "Pavilion Master, this is a good way, it can not only lead to other sub-ore veins, but also be very secret, this method is very good!"

"It's good, but how long are we going to dig?" asked Li Lao again.

"It's okay!"

Ye Chen waved his hand with a chuckle and said, "Let's divide into two groups to carry out this task, start digging from the west first, we have to dig to the sub-vein where we were originally located, I really want to see if there is another group of ghost slaves there?"

"Yes, I want to go back and have a look!" Yi Shui nodded slightly in agreement.

"That's good!"

Ye Chen waved his hand to decide, and said: "Since everyone agrees, then this plan will be handed over to you to deal with, this tunnel plan is the hope of our rise, and we can't be sloppy." ”

"Understood!"

Wu Ming and the others replied with serious expressions, they all knew the importance of this tunnel plan, so they naturally would not be careless. This is a hope that the Ghost Sword Pavilion can rise, and there must be no more mistakes, otherwise, they will have no face to see.

Kindness!

Ye Chen bowed slightly, and said, "Now, it's almost the end of the month, people outside should come over to collect ore, have we completed this month's task?"

"Pavilion Master rest assured!"

Li Lao spoke at this time, and he said: "We have already completed the task we have already given this month, and the rest are secretly hidden in an excavated space, which is where we hide ores. ”

"That's good!"

Ye Chen appreciated slightly, and his heart was satisfied, he didn't want to wait for others to complete the task. Because as soon as you come to this main vein, it is stipulated how many tasks a ghost slave must complete in a month, and if you can't complete it, you will be in big trouble.

He turned around slightly, said to Wu Ming, and said, "Wu Ming, you go and select two groups of members to come over, and I will go over with Yi Shui and Li Lao to check the direction." ”

"Yes, Pavilion Master!"

Wu Ming arched his hand slightly, turned around and left directly and neatly, and disappeared into the thick black fog in a blink of an eye. And Ye Chen took Yi Shui and the two of them towards the other side, which was the deepest part of this ore vein.

"Pavilion Master, this place was once excavated by other forces, and now this direction has been abandoned, and there are almost no ores that can be mined in it. As Yi Shui walked, he introduced everything here to Ye Chen.

Kindness!

Ye Chen looked at the environment here, the spacious cave, the potholes on both sides, and the traces that had obviously been excavated. He also saw a lot of scattered stone piles, which were all abandoned after others dug up and found that there were no soul crystals in them.

As he walked, he asked, "Yi Shui, are you sure that no one has arrived here?"

"It's hard to say!"

Yi Shui shook his head slightly, and said, "Pavilion Master, you must know that we are not the masters here, those outside are the masters of the entire ore vein, if they want to come here, what can we do?"

"Pavilion Master!"

While looking at it, Li Lao said to Ye Chen, "Look at the caves over there, there have collapsed a lot, obviously there is no soul crystal in this direction, there is no value, I think no one will run over idle." ”

"Makes sense!"

Ye Chen bowed slightly, looking at a mine in the distance that had collapsed a lot, and a thick layer of stone powder was laid on the ground. The gray powder, tinged with a faint blackness, appears to have fallen from the surface of the ore.

As he walked, he pondered for a while, and then said, "Yi Shui, can you tell the direction of this place?" I seem to have forgotten since I came in, it seems that I have no sense of direction!"

"Pavilion Master, I also feel this way, it's really strange!" said Old Li with a strange expression.

"I remember!"

Yi Shui frowned slightly, and said: "It seems that I also have such a feeling, I remember it clearly, but I can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, I still rely on one of my intuitions to vaguely calculate a correct direction." ”

"It seems that there is a mysterious force at work here, as if it makes people unclear, very strange!" he said.

Kindness!

Ye Chen frowned deeply, and pondered for a long time before saying, "We don't know anything about this place, and we know too little about everything in this world, this is our shortcoming. ”

"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles!" said Li Lao's head.

Yi Shui frowned and pondered as he walked, and then said after a long time, "Pavilion Master, we need to find a chance to understand this outside world, after all, we are now a ghost slave." ”

"I know!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, he looked around, and said, "We really have to know something about the outside world, otherwise, even if we escape, it will be difficult to survive, and it will even be even more miserable, we must be completely prepared." ”

"Pavilion Master, here, here!"

At this time, Yi Shui on the side suddenly pointed ahead and introduced Ye Chen with such a sentence. He said, "Ahead is the deepest part of this cave, which has collapsed a lot, and we have come to investigate it before, and it has been abandoned for a long time. ”

"Look there!"

He only pointed to the other side, and said, "That is the place where we hide the soul crystal, and the soul crystal hidden in it is the sum of two months' tasks, all of which were excavated by the members of the cabinet, do you want to take a look?"

"No need!"

Ye Chen shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about your affairs, let's talk about it when we use it, the most important thing for us is to open up the passage of the ore vein, this is a hope for the development and growth of the Sword Pavilion." ”

"Thank you Pavilion Master for your trust!"

Yi Shui and Li Lao looked slightly moved, the two of them were very pleased with Ye Chen's trust, and they and the others had never made a mistake in their choice. Although Ye Chen seems to be very young, he actually knows very well in his heart that these things must be learned to delegate power, and the most important of them is trust.

In fact, everyone has such a scale in their hearts, and they know how to measure and judge. If a superior has no trust in himself, then who is willing to do things for him, or even die for him?

"Don't say polite words!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, and said: "As an elder, Elder Li can naturally be trusted, Yi Shui himself is a smart person, and he can be trusted, Wu Ming trains the fighters in the pavilion, and he has worked hard and has high achievements, so he naturally has to be trusted." And we should trust each other for the same goal, which is a dependence on our survival here.

"Let's not talk about this!"

He waved his hand slightly, and asked Yi Shui, "You come and see, from this place, where is the branch vein we originally came over?"

"Good!"

Yi Shui did not hesitate, and walked forward directly, walking step by step, bowing his head and contemplating from time to time. He would look here and there, and even crouch on the ground thinking about something.

"Pavilion Master, what is Yi Shui doing?" asked Li Lao strangely.

"Mo Duoyan!"

Ye Chen's expression was calm, and he said: "Elder Li waits with ease, Yi Shui relies on a powerful memory to distinguish the direction, we just need to wait quietly and don't disturb him." ”

"Good!"

Li Lao bowed slightly, not saying much, but standing here quietly, waiting for Yi Shui's answer. Ye Chen and the others just stood here, looking at Yi Shui who was thinking from a distance, and saw that he was not all crouched.

"Southwest, Northwest, no, no!"

Yi Shui muttered to himself for a while, and then denied it again, his brows never stretched, and he seemed to have encountered a problem. He walked slowly, step by step, his eyes fixed on the four directions, as if he wanted to see through the walls.

"Pavilion Master, come here!"

At a certain moment, Yi Shui suddenly shouted in surprise, which shocked Ye Chen and the others. He walked directly to the front, and soon came to Yi Shui's side, and the two looked at him with a surprised expression, and their hearts were stable.

"Found it?"

As soon as Ye Chen came, he asked, and he said, "Yi Shui, tell us quickly, which direction is it?"

"Pavilion Master, look—"

Yi Shui looked slightly happy, and pointed his finger at the wall in front of him, only to see that there was a slight crack there. Ye Chen, on the other hand, frowned, he didn't notice anything unusual, it seemed to be the same as other places.

"Our original sub-vein is in this direction!" Yi Shui said with a very affirmative expression.

"You stand back!"

Ye Chen didn't ask much, he directly ordered this, and it wasn't until the two of them retreated far away that he turned to look at the hard wall in front of him. He suddenly stretched out his right hand forward, and a strong ghostly aura swept out, and in the blink of an eye, he wrapped his right hand.

Boom!

Groan-

A ghost sword came out of the air, ghostly and sonorous, and it let out a cheerful sword roar!

"Open it for me!"

Ye Chen shouted violently, clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, and made such a high move, and then slammed down with a fierce slash.
