Volume II: Forging Ahead, Chapter 46

The other sighed and said, "Alas, who let us follow that Young Master Chen, who was raised by his stepmother, how can it be your turn to do good things!"

Okay, okay, go early and come back early, this distance is not close! Strive to come back in the evening, the girl in Qingfeng Lou is still waiting for the master!

"Haha, that's right, hurry up. ”

Zhou Hao had no intention of embarrassing these accomplices begging for food, as long as he figured out what caused a large number of mortals to die, if he could eradicate the root cause and then deal with those princes and young masters, it would be considered a success.

Two miscellaneous old horses, carrying mottled two-trailer flatbed carts, are estimated to be used to pull firewood and grass and the like, originally Zhou Hao and the four people did not have this treatment, the two self-confessed unlucky government soldiers saw that they were taught by Tian Kun yesterday, and the leader whose arms were thicker than his thighs at night naturally arranged the carriage early, as for being driven out together, the mortal hunters who were arrested overnight last night were escorted by dozens of officials, and they went out of the city for miles.

On both sides of the official road are untended farmland, and the peasants who are in a hurry, mostly the elderly, women and children, even if they are tending to the crops that depend on their lives, they also seem to be absent-minded.

An hour later, the pipe disappeared behind the vast mountains, and a rugged mountain road barely passed, hidden in a jumble of vines and bushes, did not reach the ground until long after noon.

Under the north slope of an abrupt small mountain, sheltered by the cliff, a deep and dark gorge pierced into the ground, a strong evil gas gushed out from the mouth of the gorge to describe the withered miners, laboriously carrying a basket of ore in and out of the gorge, in exchange for insignificant grain and water, not far from the flat ground, is a group of healthy servants sorting ores, but maybe it is the impact of evil qi siltation, all have sallow faces, and their eyes are blue.

Among the four of Zhou Hao, in addition to Lingzhi feeling uncomfortable with the evil aura of the Xuaniron Mine, Zhou Hao and Zhao Tian, the cultivation of the foundation building period, immediately noticed the difference in the ore veins, this is definitely not the Xuan Iron Ore, buried in the earth veins for tens of millions of years, the Heavenly Dao condensed the essence of the earth veins, and was exposed by the collection of Xuan Iron Ore, which attracted Yang Chang and others to covet it.

Lingzhi, you use your spiritual power, close the inside and outside, don't be eroded by the evil qi, Zhou Hao commanded.

The sergeant in charge of guarding the mine threw a few iron tools such as planing shovels in his hand, and drove the new man down the mine with a shout, without explaining what the reason was, and probably knew what the mortal would end up in when he got out of the mine.

Zhou Hao and the four of them were coerced, stepping into the dim mine mouth, countless gravel was passed by the people, stepping out of an uneven path, the cave wall was not far apart, with a torch with a wooden handle, in the dim cave, the flames jumped and flickered from time to time, illuminating the road for the withered people.

The gravel made a rolling sound under the feet, and under the light was the dry corpses that could be seen from time to time, the faces were hideous and terrifying, and when they entered the mine, Zhou Hao and the four of them immediately ran lightly, and the people who had been numb would pay attention, along the deep and dim mine cave, all the way deep underground, during which the evil qi became more and more intense, that is, Zhou Hao and Zhao Tian also had to open the spiritual shield and isolate the breath.

With the spiritual power entering the meridians, the originally smooth and mellow spiritual power actually appeared obscure, and it became irritable and agitated, with Zhou Hao's own essence and strong spiritual power, he also noticed the discomfort, and Zhao Tian and the two of them were even tighter in their chests, and opened the shield early.

The deep and dark mine cave stretched deep under the foot to the bottom of the mountain, although it was only along the main mine cave, and the dead were seen along the way, and there were no less than hundreds of dry and withered corpses, and the bitter aura accumulated in Zhou Hao's heart became more and more intense.

I don't know how long it took, there was a clanging sound in the distance ahead, obviously almost reaching the deepest part, in the harsh environment, mortals were desperately digging ore, hoping to get out as soon as possible and return home, some had the strength to rotate the mine hoe, just to get a little food, and some had simply given up hope, huddled in the darkness and shivering, waiting for death to come.

And because it is working in the dark, it is a kind of ore that can shine in the dark night, and the light source it disperses, in the depths of this pitch-black underground, like fireflies, can only illuminate a small area, so there are often people screaming, obviously the tiring work has injured many people, and once injured, the speed of evil energy devouring life is naturally faster.

Zhou Hao and the others have spiritual power shields, and they don't think about it, but Zhou Hao observed with spiritual wood, and all mortals are like fallen leaves in a huge wave, without roots and pins, like a candle in the wind, and the fire of life can be extinguished at any time.

And in the huge mine, the wisps of evil qi, circling and flying, as the hard iron ore as nothing, floating, carefully observing for a long time, maybe Zhou Hao's luck burst, or the original treasure in the iron ore is about to be born, a obviously different stone pit, which attracted Zhou Hao's attention.

Countless thick evil qi swirled and flew in that place, and the nearby miners were even more miserable than other places, but strangely did not die, but kept mechanically turning the hoe, again and again, and constantly exerting their strength.

And near the stone pit, a corpse was in tatters, and no one disposed of the fallen corpse, or even dragged it out, but after approaching the vicinity of the stone pit, the corpse was knocked into pieces with ore, and then thrown behind him.

Zhou Hao took the three of them, and after approaching the stone pit, he waved his hand to get a few skinny people nearby into the distance, took out a spirit sword, and slashed at the stone pit, the gravel splashed, and the cut stones and ores were all thrown aside, and Zhao Chengtian Kun arranged for all the people to take a small piece of each and go to the outside of the mine to exchange food.

There was not much time, and in the depths of the noisy mine, a figure began to stagger away, and in the mine, only the sound of Zhou Hao chopping ore remained.

The hard work paid off, half an hour, an hour, and finally a sound of metal shattering, which attracted Zhou Hao's attention, and then looked at the magic sword in his hand, it was actually broken, throw away the remaining sword handle, look carefully, the damage caused by an hour, more powerful than the people digging for half a month, in the stone pit four or five zhang deep, a black stone-like brilliance, in the firelight, it was fascinating, carefully excavated again, and sure enough, a stone the size of a human head was dug out.

On the smooth and flawless surface, it can be vaguely seen that the seven orifices are swallowing immeasurable evil qi, and it is obvious that this stone ball is the initiator of the rich evil qi and the huge amount of dark iron in this mine.

Zhou Hao looked at it carefully, and finally found the name of this treasure from the depths of his mind, Xuanyuan Seven Aperture Stone.

Legend has it that the anti-heaven treasure that can be cast innate spirit treasure needs to be conceived for 10,000 years, and it must be born in a bloody disaster, watered with the blood of living beings, and washed with thousands of unjust souls to succeed.
