Chapter 317: Legendary Ore Veins

The conversation between Redbeard and the Scorched Face confirmed my thoughts, the cultists and the Brotherhood did have a deep connection before, and if I guessed correctly, the entire Brotherhood should now be a believer in the King of the Yellow Coat.

Even the entire underworld has most likely fallen under its control.

When Redbeard's footsteps had completely disappeared from the corridor, I tiptoed back to the iron gate.

Pushing the door in directly, the scorched-faced man is likely to be wary, and the best choice is to stand outside the door and wait for him, the rat king obviously also took this into account, and has been quietly following me without urging.

The scorched-faced man seemed to be a very punctual man, and just after five minutes, he pushed open the iron door and walked through the executioner's bedchamber.

At that time, I had already withdrawn the concealment technique, and as soon as he went out, he saw me as soon as he went out.

I didn't talk nonsense with him, I raised my hand is a palm, and it hit his dantian firmly, and he didn't even have time to hum, and his whole body was weak, and he fell to the ground like a piece of mud.

The Rat King stepped forward and tried the snort of the scorched-faced man: "Go back to the villa?" ”

I shook my head: "It's too far, let's move him to the power room first." ”

The Rat King seemed to have an instinctive resistance in the power room, and hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

The two of us carried the scorched-faced man into the power generation room, the rat king took off his clothes and tied the scorched-faced man's hands and feet, and I took out the ghost candle and attached the scorched-faced ghost that I had just subdued.

This powerful ghost has no yin qi and no resentment, and it is really a bit troublesome to manipulate, and it took me some effort to successfully inject it into the body of the burnt-faced man.

Fortunately, the dream created by the ghost here is quite violent, and before he could wait a minute, the scorched-faced man screamed in his dream.

Because the dream was too terrifying, I was worried that the scorched-faced man would lose his mind after a few minutes, so I injected a small half of my mental power into his body to suppress the ghost first.

Not completely suppressed, the scorched-faced man was still in a dream, but he could also hear the outside world.

I repeated my old trick and made a deal with the scorched-faced man, as long as he answered my questions honestly, I would free him from the nightmare.

This benevolent brother's willpower is not as good as the last time I caught the thin man with the centipede, and I didn't even ask much, so he left it all behind.

According to his confession, there were thirty-four cultists in the Rat King's gang, and the reason why these people infiltrated the sewers was not to subvert the Rat King's forces, but their target was the magic stone mine hidden in the depths of the sewers.

It is said that the vein was discovered when the first seafarers arrived here, when the city was still a huge reef and the old town had not yet been established.

Later, the old town was built, and the entrance to the vein was deliberately sealed by the builders of the sea market, and the founders even reached a consensus that the location of the entrance would never be revealed, so that the ore vein is still a mystery to this day.

However, it is reported that the founders of the sea market discovered the mineral deposits on the highest reef peak in the first place, and now that reef peak is in the sewers.

As for why the King in Yellow was looking for that vein, the scorched-faced man didn't know, he only knew that the King in Yellow was bound to get that vein, and the King in Yellow himself said that if he couldn't find that vein, it would be meaningless to control the entire sea market.

I asked the scorched-faced man if he had ever seen the king in yellow, but the answer given by the scorched-faced man was very vague, he first said that he had seen it, and then said that he had not seen it, and then he said that he had seen it in a dream, and the rat king's description of the king in yellow was "indescribable", but the scorched-faced man said that different people saw the king in yellow differently, and the king in yellow he saw was an old man covered in rotting flesh and blood.

In addition, the scorched-faced man also explained that today's underground world has actually fallen under the control of the King in Yellow, although the chaotic forces are still divided into three forces, but whether it is Ba Fengte or the fine ghost, they are now all believers of the King of Yellow.

After the scorched-faced man reported all the names of the inner ghosts, I suddenly thought of a rather critical question: "You have found the location of the mine, right?" ”

Hearing my question, the scorched-faced man chose to remain silent.

He couldn't be wrong, he must have found the location of the mine!

Since you don't want to say it, I'm sorry.

I slightly withdrew the mental power that had been injected into him, and the fear that lingered in the dream suddenly became stronger, and the scorched-faced man screamed and begged, "Don't let that thing torment me, please!" ”

"Tell me about the problem!"

"I did find the deposit, it's in the west corner of the sewers, but it's always guarded, and I can't get close to it."

"Be specific."

"There is a pool of clear water in the west corner of the sewer, and the bottom of the pool is the reef."

"Since you can't get anywhere, how do you know that the bottom of the pool is a reef?"

"I heard from the guards there!"

"There are also your traitors among the guards at the West Gate?"

"No, there isn't there, if there is, he will do it himself."

"Now that you've found the location of the mine, why are you still in the sewers?"

"I must bring back the sample, or the true God will not believe me."

"So, it's really you who poisoned you?"

"It's not me, it's a pig's head, I can't access the guards' food!"

The Rat King couldn't help but ask, "What role did the pig's head play in your plan?" ”

"He wants to take your place, because he is not willing to be a servant forever, he wants to be a nobleman!"

This should be the answer that the Rat King doesn't want to hear, if the scorched-faced man said that the reason why the pig head betrayed him was just by the slope of the King of Yellow, presumably the Rat King could be a little more comfortable in his heart.

After a long silence, the Rat King sighed helplessly: "Everyone here wants to be a nobleman. ”

Seeing that the good skin of the scorched-faced man has also been distorted, if I don't take back the ghost, he will definitely go crazy.

In desperation, I had no choice but to interrupt the interrogation and use the ghost candle to retrieve the ghost.

Just as the ghost broke away from the scorched-faced man, I suddenly sensed a corpse qi from him.

This corpse breath is exactly the same as the one on the thin man at the beginning.

It's not good, the scorched-faced man wants to be transformed!

For me, no matter what kind of person the scorched-faced man is, he is a life after all, and his life and death should be decided by the rat king, and what I have to do is to save him as much as possible.

I immediately condensed my mental power, trying to get rid of the corpse qi on his body, but the speed of his corpse transformation was extremely fast, and before I could cast the spell, his face instantly lost blood.

At the same time, I noticed that something was trembling in his left coat pocket at the same time as the scorched-faced man was rapidly transforming.
