On the other side of the tent, a makeshift cauldron with a diameter of two meters was boiling wild boar, and at this moment the thick broth in the pot bubbled up, emitting a rich aroma that attracted the salivation of the soldiers.

Some of them circled around the gang, some of them chatted and laughed in twos and threes, and most of the topics were related to the more than sixty female disciples in the martial arts hall on the other side. Liu Yongyuan was the captain of the two hundred samurai, and he attracted everyone's attention as soon as he came over.

"Listen well," Liu Yongyuan's voice was not loud, but he overshadowed the audience, and shouted: "There is a group of more than a thousand unknown characters rushing towards us, the situation is unknown, everyone pay attention to vigilance!" ”

"Yes!" All the warriors responded in a deep voice, they divided their labor and cooperated, and they walked to the side of their mounts, and immediately untied the Yuan-devouring bow equipped on their bodies to occupy the most advantageous position to form a defensive state. The movements were extremely fast, and Rong Yuanhang was amazed, and the female disciples of the Martial Arts Hall on the other side also untied their swords, they were not very good at horses, so they did not lead their horses, but gathered around those few material vehicles to concentrate on His Majesty, ready to go.

Here on the bonfire, Xiao Xue was sitting next to Rong Yuanhang, and she also wanted to stand up and return to the team to guard with the female disciples. But Rong Yuanhang grabbed her jade hand and said, "You stay with me, don't go anywhere, okay." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Xue was pulled by him, and agreed to come down, so she didn't insist on returning to the team anymore, and she was able to stay by his side and be protected, and suddenly felt warm in her heart.

Rong Yuanhang originally wanted to go to the front to investigate, but he was concerned about Xiao Xue, so after thinking about it, he still waited for the situation to avoid her accidents.

"Report!" Suddenly, a mine guard hurriedly came over from the opposite river, quickly ran to Rong Yuanhang and the others, and said to Cai Meng, "Lord Deacon, I found the Extreme Imperial Sect Mine Guard Team ahead, and about 1,200 people rushed over here. ”

This mine guard was one of the ten guards brought by Cai Meng, so they knew the local situation, so they only sent these guards to patrol outside the intersection.

"Hmm. Got it. Cai Meng waved his hand to let him retreat, and then his expression was relieved, and he said to everyone: "It turned out to be the mine protection team of the Extreme Imperial Sect, it's okay." I thought there were bandits. ”

He raised his voice and said to everyone: "It's okay, don't be nervous, the person who is here is the mine protection team of the Extreme Imperial Sect!" ”

When everyone heard this, they relaxed a little, but they still kept their swords in their hands to deal with emergencies. Apparently everyone is a well-trained sergeant.

"Bandits are more powerful than the people of the Extreme Imperial Sect?" Rong Yuanhang asked, he was extremely sensitive to the word 'Extreme Imperial Sect', and when he heard it, he couldn't help but feel that the adrenaline began to rise.

Cai Meng looked at him and said with a smile: "This is not true, the Extreme Imperial Sect is famous in the Black Iron City, they pride themselves on being famous and decent, and they will definitely not do this business of robbing the house." ”

Rong Yuanhang frowned when he heard this, and sneered again and again in his heart: Hmph, you won't rob the house? That's because you don't have enough interests to make them tickle!

It didn't take long to see a huge group of men and horses appear on the opposite plain.

At this time, the sun is sinking in the west. The sky was gray and covered the earth, and the long procession made it difficult to see the specific situation, but the appearance of several huge figures in the group made people stunned......

"What's that?" Xiao Xue exclaimed.

"Titan Ape!!" Rong Yuanhang could see at a glance that those tall and comparable humanoids were actually Titan giant apes, and there were as many as five of these giant apes!

Even Wang Guangming, a figure at the peak of the Martial Saint, couldn't help but gasp when he saw it, and exclaimed: "This Extreme Imperial Sect is really strong, and he actually used the Titan Giant Ape to transport supplies?" ”

……

The Extreme Imperial Sect's mine protection team has approached. They easily crossed the wide, fast-flowing river. There were potholes and uneven places, and the cart pulled by the mammoth elephant could not pass, and the Titan Giant Ape lifted it gently, and the whole vehicle was carried over like a feather. The people on the side of the king of the family are envious.

For the same mammoth elephant car, if it encounters that kind of situation that cannot be passed, it will take more than a dozen people to work together to remove the roadblock and make the road unimpeded, and the car can pass. Like others, with a few Titan giant apes as help, I'm afraid that any poor mountains and bad waters will not be able to overcome.

"Who's on the other side?" A leading man of the Extreme Imperial Sect Mine Protection Team came out and asked loudly.

Then. Cai Meng came out and replied: "I despise you as a member of the Black Iron City Royal Family, dare to ask if you are the Extreme Imperial Sect Mine Protection Team?" ”

The leading man didn't answer, but asked, "The King of Black Iron City?" Which Wang family is it, why haven't I heard of it? ”

The person who came gradually approached, this big Han square face, burly looking, wearing a cyan robe, hanging a scimitar at his waist, and walking in front of Cai Meng with his hand on the handle of the knife, he was talking to Cai Meng, while scanning the surrounding Wang family disciples, when he saw Wang Guangming standing aside, his face changed slightly: he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation, that is to say, Wang Mingguang is likely to have at least the realm of a martial saint!

The square-faced man himself was just the peak of the Martial King, and he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and his arrogant arrogance was reined in.

"Our Wang family belongs to the Xuanyuan family, so it's not surprising that we haven't heard of it." Cai Mengxin was slightly angry, but still answered his words.

"It turned out to be someone from the Tianshou Xuanyuan family, and he was disrespectful." Dahan's face was no longer arrogant, and he arched his hand to Wang Guangming, who was standing silently on the side, and said: "In Xia Jin Chongyuan, Tian Wei is the leader of the Extreme Imperial Sect Mine Protection Team, dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name?" ”

He only asked Wang Guangming, but he turned a blind eye to Rong Yuanhang, Wang Ruonan, Xiao Xue, Liu Yongyuan and others.

"Don't dare to be, a certain Wang Guangming, the fourth elder of the Wang family, is now the elder protector of the mine." Wang Guangming responded nonchalantly.

Jin Chongyuan's light flashed, and he wondered: What kind of mine actually dispatched such a person to protect the mine? Could it be that there is a newly discovered metacrystal? Rong Yuanhang rolled his eyes, and blamed Wang Guangming in his heart: Why are you revealing your identity when you have nothing to do?

"It turned out to be a senior, disrespectful and disrespectful," Jin Chongyuan hugged his fists again, took a step back and said: "Chongyuan has important things to do, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, friends, let's meet again if we have a fate, say goodbye!" …… By the way, please make it convenient, your vehicles are blocking the way, please move the position to let the team behind us pass, here, thank you in advance! ”

……

A team of 1,000 people from the Extreme Imperial Sect crossed the river and returned to the city overnight. After they left, Rong Yuanhang asked Cai Meng, "Deacon Cai, does the Extreme Imperial Sect also have a mine here?" ”

Cai Meng replied: "Of course there is, and there is more than one." By the way, the batch of minerals they escorted should have come from the mines in the area of the Black Jade River. ”

"Black Jade River?"

"That's right," Cai Meng nodded and said, "And it's not far from our Yuanjing mine, our Yuanjing mine is in the Chiyan Basin. The mines of the Extreme Imperial Sect are also in the Chiyan Basin. Separated by the Black Jade River, they are south of the Black Jade River, and our Wang family's mine is east of the Black Jade River. ”

"Is the mine of the Extreme Imperial Sect the Yuanjing Mine?" Rong Yuanhang's heart moved.

"Yes." Cai Meng continued: "However, the scale of the Yuanjing mine is amazing, and there are now more than 100,000 people stationed there. And our mine ......"

"Yuanhang, this matter is still in a semi-secret state." At this time, Wang Guangming opened his mouth and said: "Our mine is newly discovered, and the news should not be leaked, you should pay attention to this." ”

"Oh?" Rong Yuanhang frowned slightly and said, "Can this mine still be kept secret?" ”

Wang Guangming said solemnly: "News always has to leak out. …… In this place, our Wang family can only be said to be weak. Yuanjing Mine is extremely precious, easy to provoke all parties to covet, to tell you the truth, originally we relied on the strength of the Xuanyuan family to survive in this land, but this Yuanjing mine is discovered by ourselves, if the people of the Xuanyuan family know, then we will have to come to get a piece of the pie. ”

“…… The elders of the clan attach great importance to this metacrystalline mine, and everyone unanimously decided to rely on the strength of their own people to develop it, and try not to let outsiders have a chance to intervene. Therefore, at present, we can hide it as long as we can from the outside world. If the pressure is really too great at that time, then it is better to give up part of the profits to seek refuge from one party. ”

"I see!" Rong Yuanhang listened to it with awe.

The reason why he was willing to follow the Wang family to the land of Dongtaizhou was that Rong Yuanhang was to escape the entanglement and pursuit of the Yan family on the one hand, and to find a quiet place to calm down and concentrate on cultivation. Improve your cultivation to enhance your strength. On the other hand, it is also for the sake of Wang Yan, Xiao Xue, and Wang Kai, as the son-in-law of the Wang family, he can be regarded as one of them, and he should participate in a force.

But now there is another fiancée - Wang Ziyan! What's more, no matter whether the grandmother Wang Meng, the patriarch Wang Guangen, or even the future father-in-law Wang Heng gave him a valuable yellow-level treasure, the Wang family treated themselves very well. gave enough respect, which made Rong Yuanhang gradually have a sense of belonging to the Wang family.

"Since the situation is like this, then, whether it is for myself or for the relatives around me, let me help this family develop and grow!" Rong Yuanhang secretly made a lifelong decision for himself at this moment.

……

Ten days later, after passing through a wide Gobi belt full of gravel, we finally entered the Chiyan Basin. The Chiyan Basin, with an area of more than 3 million square kilometers, is a tropical rainforest area with a forest coverage rate of more than 40 percent.

Wang's Yuanjing Mine is located in a flat-topped plateau around the Chiyan Basin, which is surrounded by thick loess cover, unlike the forests below the basin, but there is little bare vegetation, and the temperature of the air is uncomfortably high, very hot. The entire mine is located in the middle of the mountains, but it is also very secluded.

The population of the mines, including miners, handymen, women, and guards, amounted to 5,000. Among them, there were 500 guards, all of whom were private soldiers trained by the Wang family. It is surrounded by wooden fences, and the entire mining area is shaped into a circle with a radius of up to a kilometer. Beyond the fence are rows of miners' quarters made of linoleum cloth and wooden strips.

Cai Meng led the arrival of two or three hundred people from Rong Yuanhang's group, which made the atmosphere of the lifeless mine lively. And people are always full of curiosity about unfamiliar things and environments.

Rong Yuanhang also found that there were many children in the mine, and more than 270 people rode unicorn horses into the living area of the mine, which immediately aroused the curiosity of these children, and everyone gathered around to watch the excitement. The adults resting in the dormitory only dared to watch from afar.

"You can live here, the conditions are a little harder, but there is no way, this is the only stone house, the rest are made of wood."

The one who spoke was the manager of the Yuanjing Mine, named Wang Guanglin, and his identity was the third master, Wang Guangen's third brother. Rong Yuanhang also couldn't see his cultivation, but it was estimated that he had at least reached the level of a martial saint!

In addition to Rong Yuanhang, Wang Guangming, Liu Yongyuan, Ruonan and others, there were also several main persons in charge of the mine. Wang Guanglin is the head of the mine and the top leader of the entire mine. There are also two women and one man.

Among the two women, one is a woman named Gu Panpan, who has kind eyebrows and good faces. Her identity is Wang Guanglin's wife, and she has the beginner cultivation of the Martial King.

Another woman. She is very tall, at least 1.9 meters tall, with picturesque sword eyebrows, long and narrow eyes, upturned on both sides, a little square face, heroic and mighty, Rong Yuanhang looks like a terracotta warrior, but there is an alternative beauty.

This woman's name is Long Yurou, and she is Wang Meng's first apprentice, according to the third grandfather Wang Guanglin. She actually reached the peak of cultivation of the Martial Saint! Long Yurou's identity is the same as Rong Yuanhang, he is a Dharma Protector Elder.

The remaining man, named Wang Shousong, is the twenty-third generation disciple of the Wang family, the same generation as Wang Yan, but his age is more than three hundred years old, he has a middle-level cultivation of the Martial King, and his current responsibility is the captain of the mine guard camp, known as General Shousong.

The stone houses cover a wide area, but they are all bungalows. It is divided into four rows to form a square house, with a courtyard in the middle, and the layout of the whole house is somewhat similar to a courtyard house. Because of the difficulty of supplying materials, this is the only house in the mine made of bricks and stone green tiles!

A few people discussed. Housing was allocated to this house: those who lived in the main house in Beizheng were Wang Guanglin and Gu Panpan. In the west room, the three women of Long Yurou, Wang Ruonan, and Xiao Xue live together. Xiao Xue is only a beginner martial artist, and she is not qualified to live here, but everyone is looking at Rong Yuanhang's face, so no one cares.

And the house on the east side. It is Rong Yuanhang and Wang Guangming who live. As for Wang Shousong and Liu Yongyuan, they lived in the camp of the mine protection team. On the south side, there is a row of inverted seats, with a large entrance, and the inverted seats are reserved for the next people.

"Yuanhang, do you want to call a girl in a row?" Wang Guanglin asked.

Rong Yuanhang looked at the room where he lived, only about thirty square meters, but there was also an ear room for people to live next to it, and the doors were interconnected. He wanted one, but the problem was that he had a lot of secrets that should not be known to too many people, so he politely refused: "Thank you, manager, I don't think I need it." ”

"But you have to be served by someone on your daily diet?" Wang Guanglin looked at him and asked.

"It doesn't matter, I'll do it myself." Rong Yuanhang said.

"You always have to do the laundry, right?" At this time, Wang Guanglin's wife said with a smile: "You are a big man, you can't wash and comb your hair by yourself, right?" ”

"Uh......, my hair doesn't grow." Rong Yuanhang touched his hair, he hadn't had a haircut for several months, and men here all had long hair, but he always felt uncomfortable combing his long hair, and thought to himself if it was time to find a barber shop for a haircut?

"Hehehe......" everyone chuckled. Xiao Xueren spoke softly and was silent on the side, thinking that Rong Yuanhang's clothes would be washed by herself in the future.

Wang Guanglin, an old man who looked very kind, said again: "Yuanhang, here is far away from the city, and the supply of materials is very difficult, so the conditions of living in this kind of place are relatively difficult, if you have any requirements, you can put forward them." ”

Rong Yuanhang said: "It doesn't matter what aspects of life, but ...... Third Master, I can move freely, right? I was so depressed that I was going to die of being here every day. ”

"You just need to complete the task of sending the mine to Black Iron City every two months with Ruonan and the Dragon Protector, and the rest of the daily time is arranged by yourself."

As soon as they came, Wang Guanglin arranged a task for them: Rong Yuanhang, Wang Guangming, Long Yurou, and Wang Ruonan formed a mine protection team, and every month they were responsible for delivering the rough-processed Yuanjing rough stone to the refinery in Black Iron City, even if the task was completed.

Originally, there was a Martial King peak protector elder on the mine, as well as six Martial King beginner protectors, but because of the robbery of the Yuanjing Mine, not only did the Wang family suffer huge losses, but the above people were also killed one after another in the past two years of fighting, plus the rest of the ordinary mine protection team members, the robbers killed a total of 4,000 people, leaving no one alive. Wang Guanglin told them these things without concealment.

"Robbers are so vicious? Not only robbed the Yuanjing mine, but also wiped it all? Rong Yuanhang was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Third Master, do you know who did it?" ”

"It's very likely that the Dragon Gang did it." Wang Guanglin pondered for a moment and said, "But there is no conclusive evidence to prove that they did it, just suspicion." ”

Rong Yuanhang asked: "Is the Dragon Gang very strong?" ”

Wang Guanglin said: "The Youlong Gang is active in the area of the Black Jade River for thousands of miles, with more than 10,000 gangs, I heard that most of the gangs are martial artists, and their gang leader Ou Bi is the peak of the martial king. And the Dragon Gang is well-equipped, ruthless, and comes and goes like the wind, which is a headache. ”

"Can't so many of us fight against one of them?" Rong Yuanhang became more and more angry when he heard this, this leader of the Dragon Gang was only the peak of the Martial King, but he showed off his might in this land, causing the Wang family to suffer losses.

Wang Guanglin shook his head and said: "I haven't confronted the peak head-on, I suspect that the other party has the best war beasts, otherwise a few protectors of my Wang family would not have died." They all singled out the weak links, and after committing the crime, they disappeared without a trace, and until now the old man has not been able to know where the nest of the Dragon Gang is.
