In a dark crack in the rock, a huge bell-shaped bronze vessel sits along. A square hole was opened in front of the container, and a bronze door was connected to the hole. Looking into the bronze vessel, it was just as dark, except for the occasional flicker of a dark red light, illuminating the whole wide crack through the void.

Two men and a woman stood in front of the bronze vessel, both dressed in pale red, and the dark red light made people feel like they were covered in blood. One of the men walked up to a rock and reached for the winch that was placed on the rock. The hinges rattled and rattled, and the chain stretched, shaking, and hoisted something in the darkness.

It was a cage hanging from a chain, wobbly, and it was impossible to see what was inside. The winch continued to turn, and the cage rose above the bronze vessel, and with a crisp sound, it began to slowly fall downward, facing a pipe on top of the bronze vessel.

"Chirp! Whisper! The cage suddenly moved, shaking even more violently, and the things inside were frantically struggling, as if trying to break free from the cage, constantly hitting the iron cage from the inside. The contents seemed to be scared and angry, and seemed reluctant to enter the pipes on top of the bronze vessel.

"Senior Brother Long, I'm afraid." The woman standing in front of the bronze vessel grabbed the arm of the tall man beside her, and her face showed a look of fear, which was lit up by the dark red light of the square hollow.

"Don't be afraid, grit your teeth, and it's over in a flash. Only in this way can the heart determination be completed. That's how your brother and I came back then. The tall man next to the woman hugged her shoulder with one hand and gently stroked her hair with the other.

After all, the contents of the cage could not escape fate, and after a snapping sound, the cage was hinged into the pipe and stuck on the top of the bronze vessel. The chirping sound still came from the cage, the voice was low and not harsh, but the more I listened to it, the more uneasy it became, and my heart was tight.

"Senior brother, you're ready." The skinny man who went to turn the winch said.

Hearing this, the woman raised her eyes and glanced at her Senior Brother Long with a trembling gaze. Her lips were fiery red, as if she wanted to say something.

The tall man knew what she was going to say, so he touched her cheek and said softly, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you outside." If you don't come out, I won't go. ”

The woman hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. She bent down and carefully took off her shoes, a pair of smooth bare feet on the ground.

The ground was slightly warm, coming from inside the bronze vessel. Every time she took a step forward, she felt the temperature of the soles of her feet rise a little, and when she lifted her feet and stepped towards the bronze vessel, the soles of her feet were already burning red, cracking, and dripping red blood. As soon as the drops of blood landed on the bronze container, they evaporated instantly, turning into a thick mist of blood that enveloped her feet.

The pain went straight from the soles of her feet to her heart, the woman clenched her teeth, her expression slightly distorted, she turned her head and silently glanced at Senior Brother Long, and reached out to close the square hollow door on the bronze container. The dark red light was obscured, and the entire crack in the mountain rock was blackened.

"That's it." Senior Brother Long, who was tall, said to the thin man next to the winch.

The man nodded, pulling on a bronze lever next to the winch.

"Click!" The lever is connected to the mechanism on the cage, and once pulled, the cage will open, and the contents will follow the pipe on the top of the bronze vessel to the inside of the container, where the woman is in front of her.

"Chirp! Whisper! The muffled scream became excited, echoing through the pipes, and the woman in the bronze vessel felt only a wave of heat pouring down from above her head, like a blazing fireball, about to engulf her.

"Ahh A piercing groan of pain came from the container.

"Yingtong, hold on." Senior Brother Long clenched his fists when he heard the woman's cry, as strong as him, and he couldn't help but tremble a little at this time.

Whisper! Whisper! Painful moans came from the bronze vessel again, but this time it seemed to be much weaker, gradually muffled by the strange chirping.

Suddenly, something strange appeared around the bronze vessel.

I saw streams of dark black mist emerge from the bottom of the container and gradually spread out to the surroundings, and when these mist touched the cold rock wall, they slowly condensed, turning into patches of terrifying blood red! The dark red light was even worse, shooting out from the crack in the closed square bronze door, once again illuminating Senior Brother Long's frightened face.

"There's something wrong with them! How so? Do you want to harm Yingtong? Seeing this, Senior Brother Long angrily grabbed the thin man on the side and lifted his feet off the ground.

"No, no, no, no, senior brother, they are the new batch, and they are the last batch!" The thin man's collar was pulled up by Senior Brother Long, and the whole person was swinging in the air.

"Yingtong will go crazy! get me another batch! Senior Brother Long angrily threw the thin man towards the entrance of the crack in the mountain rock, and he ran towards the bronze vessel.

"Yingtong, hold on, you must come back!" He roared as he ran, a dark mist seeping into his pale red shirt, solidifying into blood, only to evaporate again from the heat.

All of this is the blood of the woman he loves!

"Go out from the west gate of Yancheng, bypass Yanxia Mountain, and go all the way to the west, when you are about to enter the western continent of the immortal realm where the Demon Sect is raging, you will encounter a canyon called 'Blazing Yuan Valley', which is the location of the 'Blazing Yuan Sect', one of the three major sects of the righteous sect today. This Blazing Yuan Sect has been fighting against the Demon Sect on the frontier all the year round, and I heard that all the people in the sect are masters of fire attribute immortal arts, and they have a hot temper, which must not be provoked. And I'm going to mine the boundaries of their jurisdiction. Gao said as he drew a circle on the map where the Flame Iron Ore was located.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? If you don't go to Blazing Yuan Valley, how can you dig up the Yan Iron Ore? Although Gao Zhen was still a little worried about the safety of this mission, he was not even afraid of death when he thought of the rich reward.

"There's a beast around here, you need to be on the lookout." Gao Zhen made a mark on a forest near the mine to remind himself.

After some thought, he decided to take a carriage out of the city, then get off the woods and walk to the mine. There is a carriage in Yancheng that transports goods to the side of Chiyuan Valley, and if you stuff a little copper money into the coachman, you can let him take him on a ride.

Gao Zhen roughly estimated, it will take about a day on the way to go, and it will take about a day to collect minerals by yourself, and when you come back, if you can meet the carriage back to the city, you can naturally save a lot of trouble, if you don't meet it, you can only spend two to three days walking back to Yancheng. So the mission will take about three to five days.

Clicked on the money in his hand at present, there are still about 200 copper coins left, of which 122 are put by Lai Ruoxue here for him to keep. If you don't use her money, your property is actually not much. Looks like we'll have to save a bit.

Therefore, when shopping for travel supplies in the store in the afternoon, the high pillow always chooses the cheapest price. Whether it's mining supplies, or charms and medicines that he might use on the road, he can save money. But despite this, I still brought a big bag full of things, which somewhat affected my hurry.

Looking at a silk woven "treasure bag" in the store, Gao Zhen liked it very much, and after asking the price, he had to leave silently.

Alas, when will you become a rich man!
