Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dark Tide Surges

"This is the exit? I think I've been here before. Looking at the rock wall in front of him and looking at the love beside him, Ling Xiao's doubts were overflowing.

"People didn't lie to you, there will be a very ugly zombie here, and the wall will be broken by it, it's scary."

In order to be able to visit the original sin seal at any time, Lian has decided to follow Ling Xiao until she can make epic equipment. So far, Ling Xiao's "abduction plan" has been declared a success! Now, it was she who was preparing to leave the cave with Ling Xiao.

"People's ......" The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth twitched involuntarily, he was not used to "now" love in his heart.

"Don't show that in front of me." Ling Xiao expressed his protest.

"That's who I am." Love suddenly became "serious", her expression seemed to be mixed with a little loneliness, and the corners of her mouth also flashed a bitter smile.

"Okay, I'll take it back." Love's smile reminded Ling Xiao of some past that he didn't want to mention, and his expression also seemed a little lonely, he seemed to be naïve before he was sent to the Super Energy Laboratory for human experiments......

"Boom!" In the midst of the flying stone chips, a "carrion mass" with a height of about three yards squeezed out of the rock wall and pounced on the two of them!

Seeing this, Lian immediately collected his feelings, rushed directly from the side of this big lump of meat, stepped into the crack of the stone wall, and Ling Xiao followed.

With a white light, the two reached the first floor of the cave.

No sooner had they appeared than an adventurer approached.

"I'm sorry, this place is already packed, can you leave?"

Lian glanced at Ling Xiao and signaled that he didn't care.

"Passing by." Ling Xiao replied neatly.

"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Love seemed to have discovered something and walked towards the stone wall on the side.

"You ......"

"Don't worry, don't rob the monster." Ling Xiao followed.

I saw Lian swing his scythe and hit the wall one after another, slashing the rocks and falling large pieces of stone chips.

"What are you doing?"

"Mining."

At first, the adventurer was just staring at it from a distance, but when he saw the fiery red ore contained in the stone wall, his expression immediately changed slightly, and he began to mumble in the Legion channel.

"There are a few pieces of Fire Yuan Crystal." Lian Mei smiled, this Huo Yuan Crystal itself cannot cast equipment, but it has a miraculous effect on some ores that are difficult to melt, as long as you put a little, many ores will become easy to melt and cast, which is a necessary material for blacksmiths in the early stage, and the price is also high.

"Hey, here's where our bag is, you, leave the ore." Several adventurers rushed over one after another, and when they saw the Huo Yuanjing in their hands, they showed greedy eyes, this thing was put up for auction, and one could be sold for at least 5 silver coins, and they might not be able to make so much money if they fought for a day.

"What are you going to do?" Lian protected Huo Yuanjing on his chest and stared vigilantly at the adventurers who came around.

"Why don't you do it, we just want to get back what belongs to us." The adventurers picked up their weapons and began to approach, and if they didn't agree with each other, they would just do it.

"You...... Are you Ling Xiao? A new adventurer saw Ling Xiao sneering on the side, and couldn't help but shout.

When several people heard this, they immediately turned their eyes to Ling Xiao who was "hiding in the corner", in the dark mine cave, there were very few people without lighting props, and it was very easy to be ignored.

"Get out."

"You!"

"What, you want me to send you back?" Ling Xiao's tone was contemptuous, and his gaze swept over a group of adventurers, who all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Ling Xiao at all.

The battle situation of the second group of covering the sky to contain Ling Xiao somehow leaked into the ears of the adventurers of Straw Hat Village, and the more it spread, the more exaggerated it became, the latest versions, on the one hand, said that Ling Xiao's group wiped out 500 people and left calmly...... On the other hand, it was a rumor released by the hand that covered the sky, saying that Ling Xiao was directly beaten into a dog and toyed to death by a group of people.

Each of the two extremes has its own supporters, and now the adventurers are completely unclear about Ling Xiao's strength, but the full-body portrait of Ling Xiao posted by the Hand of the Sky on the bulletin board of Straw Hat Village (several screenshots, front, back, and side...... It has been recorded in the hearts of a large number of adventurers, some of them are holding the mentality of finding Ling Xiao to receive the prize, and some people are for their own safety, warning themselves to avoid this demon king who can scare babies to stop crying.

These adventurers knew a member of the Second Regiment who participated in the encirclement and suppression that day, and Ling Xiao's deeds of "taking the head of the general among the five hundred people", they still knew something!

At this point, how dare they provoke Ling Xiao, and just get out obediently.

"Wow, you're so majestic." Love reveals a look of adoration.

"Hurry up, we're getting out of here." The position is exposed, and the gang of people who cover the hand of the sky are afraid that they will come to find trouble.

"Oh" Lian nodded obediently, and quickly dug out all those fire yuan crystals.

From the mouth of love, Ling Xiao had already learned that there were several exits to the mine, and the inside was still intricate, and Ling Xiao believed that the hand that covered the sky would not be able to intercept him for a while. But to be on the safe side, he also chose the exit that was farther away from Straw Hat Village.

"You said, help you kill that Ling Xiao, you will send a regiment of people to help us find things together?" Sanliu and Sanqi glanced at each other, and then looked at the Heaven Covering Demon Emperor who was hurrying over.

"Yes, no matter what the two of you are looking for, it's always convenient to have more people, right?"

"It's not necessarily convenient to have a lot of people, but that Ling Xiao, we'll help you pay attention, just as we're going to explore, let's start with the mine." After all, after receiving a lot of care from the Heaven Covering Demon Emperor, the two decided to solve Ling Xiao as a return gift to the Heaven Covering Demon Emperor.

"Okay, I'll arrange adventurers who are familiar with that area to be your guides!" The Heaven Covering Demon Emperor was overjoyed, with these two people making a move, Ling Xiao was absolutely dead.

The news of Ling Xiao's presence in the mine soon spread throughout Straw Hat Village, and some of those of similar rank were ready to go to watch, and some planned to fish in troubled waters...... In short, a crowd of players drove towards the mine.

"Ling Xiao?" In the mine, a girl with white hair and a shawl heard the talk of some adventurers, and her pure white pupils suddenly bloomed, "He's here too, why don't you meet by chance......"

"I guess he'll go that way."

She tilted her head and chose a direction to go.

"What kind of enmity do you have with the Hand of the Sky, and why do those people chase you?" On the other side of the mine, Lian took Ling Xiao around, and by the way, she also asked some gossip, she had heard a lot of rumors about Ling Xiao, but he didn't kill himself, and he had already dispelled the demonic rumors on the market.

Before, her attention was attracted by the ore and the original sin seal, and she forgot that the man of the hour in the Straw Hat Village was right in front of her.

"I've had a few fights and killed a few of them." Ling Xiao replied helplessly.

"It's as simple as that?" Lian blinked her big eyes, which was too far from the guess in her mind.

"Hmm."

"Then they are so hateful, they all call you a big villain who punched Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked Beihai Kindergarten, you are obviously a good person." He waved his fist and looked angry.

Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't react at all, Lian found that he seemed to be overly angry, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue, then turned his head to look at Ling Xiao, and asked weakly, "You're also angry, aren't you?" ”

Ling Xiao: "......"
