The middle-aged man lowered his head and pondered for a long time before carefully answering the question.

"For more than a month, everyone has been rumoring that there is a red shadow demon haunting the North Mining Area.

Some people saw the Red Shadow Demon and said that it looked like a hideous giant, with a dark red body and more than three feet tall.

Others say that the Red Shadow Demon is an illusory shadow, which looks like a demon and is very fierce......"

Ji Tianxing frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, just say what the Red Shadow Demon you saw, what does it look like?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then said to Ai Ai: "Lord Overseer, if the grass people tell the truth, please don't blame you."

The Red Shadow Demon that the grass people saw just now was different from what was rumored.

I could vaguely see that it was a dark red blood light, like a pool of blood flowing on the ground, and like a dark red veil ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the surrounding miners all frowned and retorted with strange expressions.

"What is this guy talking nonsense?"

"What kind of blood, blood, and gauze account? It's clearly a tall red shadow demon, shaped like a terrible ghost!"

"So many people have seen it with their own eyes, and they have noses and eyes, isn't it enough to believe it?"

"I think this guy must have been scared stupid at the time, he didn't see anything clearly, and even hallucinated!"

The criticism of many miners made the middle-aged man's expression a little ugly, and he lowered his head uneasily.

Ji Tianxing knew it in his heart, and bowed his head slightly: "Very good, you can tell the truth, it is worth rewarding." ”

After saying that, the brilliance in his palm flashed, and several spirit stones and a primordial god-level elixir appeared.

"This is for you!"

He waved his hand and sent a dazzling light to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of surprise, and hurriedly took the spirit stone and pill, knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.

"Thank you, Lord Overseer, for the reward!"

The other miners around them all showed envy and jealousy when they saw this scene, and they talked about it one after another.

Unconsciously, everyone's panic dissipated, and they became more and more trusting and awe-inspiring towards Ji Tianxing.

He opened his mouth again and gave the order for everyone to go back to work in the mine, and everyone hesitated for a moment before returning to the mine one after another.

Wu Xu, Zheng Rong and Bai Kaixuan watched all this silently, and they were full of admiration for Ji Tianxing and gave him a thumbs up.

Soon after, a new day arrived.

More than 200 miners are engaged in the work of mining veins.

Ji Tianxing took out the communication jade slip and sent a message to Commander Ding, reporting the matter of the 'Red Shadow Demon'.

It didn't take long for Commander Ding to rush to the Wujiu Mine Cave with a team of silver-armored guards.

As soon as the two sides met each other, Commander Ding asked anxiously, "When did the Red Shadow Demon appear, how many people died, and did you leak any news?"

Of course, Ji Tianxing understood what he was worried about, so he said in a calm tone: "In the early hours of this morning, the Red Shadow Demon broke into the mine cave and killed thirty-nine miners silently.

At the moment, only the four of us overseers and the miners present know about it. ”

Commander Ding immediately breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "It's good that you haven't leaked the news!" You have done a good job, you must keep your mouth shut, and you must not leak the news, otherwise you will ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Tianxing squinted at him and asked, "Commander Ding, there were originally thousands of miners in the Wujiu Mine Cave, but now there are only more than two hundred left.

Those more than 700 people were killed by the Red Shadow Demon in the previous month, right?"

"Uh......" Commander Ding's body stiffened, his expression became extremely unnatural, and his eyes were a little evasive.

But he immediately returned to normal, and said with a majestic face: "This kind of thing happened to the four of you on the first day you arrived in the mine, and I deeply regret it.

However, you have to tell Monza who leaked this secret?

Those damned slaves disobeyed the orders of this seat!"

Ji Tianxing didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said bluntly: "Commander Ding, you don't have to hide anything, I have found out the truth of the matter."

But rest assured, we won't run away, and we won't let the miners escape the mines. ”

Commander Ding was stunned for a moment, and looked at him deeply, obviously not believing that he had such courage.

If he were himself, it would be impossible for him to stay in the Wujiu Mine for a long time, and he was also very afraid of the Red Shadow Demon.

However, he looked at the situation in the mine and saw that the miners were in a stable mood and were mining veins, so he believed Ji Tianxing's words.

"Well, your name is Ke Lan, right?

You are very courageous and have the means to appease these cheap slaves, and I am very optimistic about you!"

He said this, but he secretly sneered in his heart: "Hehe...... What a fearlessness it is for the ignorant!

This kid is a newcomer, and he has no idea about the horror of the Red Shadow Demon.

He was ashamed to say that this seat should see how many days he can last?

Anyway, this seat first appeased him and let him continue to work here. ”

Ji Tianxing didn't say anything polite to him, and said expressionlessly: "Commander Ding, this tragedy happened last night, and the number of miners has decreased by more than thirty, and our task cannot be completed."

In order to stabilize the mood of the miners, and for the sake of secrecy, I would like to ask you to be accommodating and ease the task for us. ”

"This ......" Commander Ding suddenly hesitated, squinted his eyes and looked at Ji Tianxing, and said secretly in his heart: "This kid is really scheming, he actually threatens this seat with this matter!"

But in order to take care of the overall situation and not leak the news, he had to swallow his anger.

After pretending to weigh it for a while, he bowed his head slightly and said: "Ke Lan, this seat values you, so I agreed to your unreasonable request, you have to know how to be grateful."

In this way, your task will be reduced to 8,000 spirit stones and 80 gems per day......"

Ji Tianxing said expressionlessly: "You can only mine up to four thousand spirit stones and forty gems every day!"

"Hiss......" Commander Ding gasped and stared at him with a cold light in his eyes, "You kid is ruthless enough, just cut half of this seat directly!"

Ji Tianxing said nonchalantly: "This is already our limit, Commander Ding must know it well, and he also knows how to choose." ”

Commander Ding glanced at him deeply, nodded and said, "Ke Lan, you dare to threaten this seat, this seat remembers you!"

Ji Tianxing pretended not to understand, frowned and asked, "Did Commander Ding agree?"

Commander Ding snorted coldly angrily, "This seat can't make the decision on this matter, and you need to go back and ask the four protectors." ”

"Then I'll wait for good news. Ji Tianxing dropped this sentence and turned to leave.

Ding Tongqi's teeth itched, but there was nowhere to attack.

He could only hold back his anger and ordered the silver-armored guards: "What are you still doing in a daze? Quickly carry those dried corpses out and transport them away!"

The guards did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly carried the dried corpses away, packed them into several large boxes, and hurriedly left the mine.
