Chapter Twenty-Four: The Passage
"Yes, yes" The old man hurriedly got up, and no longer dared to mention the reward, so he walked towards the mine with the two overseers.
Seeing this, Kong Qing nodded to Jiang Wen and the others, and then quickly rushed to the gate and quickly crossed over.
Bang bang!
"What about the martial artist in front?" Guang Tao asked in a deep voice.
"Adapt to the situation, from the beginning of this plan, we have no way out, and at this point, we can only give it a go," Jiang Wen replied.
After nodding, Jiang Wen still took the lead in walking to the front of the team.
Kong Qing and the others all slowed down and did not make any sound, and the four of them finally saw the end of the passage.
"Look ahead!" Kong Qing's eyes froze, and his steps froze.
Hearing Kong Qing's words, Jiang Wen and the others also stopped, staring directly at the five figures in the distance.
"Five warriors!"
......
"Old immortal, you should hurry up for me!"
Bang!
Seeing that the old man's pace was so slow, the supervisor kicked the old man to the ground with one kick.
The old man hurriedly got up, "Yes, yes, Lord Supervisor, it's just ahead!"
After a few corners, the old man also took the supervisor to the place where Guangtao buried the source stone essence, and several slaves around him immediately panicked when they saw the supervisor, and hurriedly ran to a distance.
The old man hurriedly said, "Lord Supervisor, this is it!"
Following the position of the old man's finger, the supervisor pushed the old man away, looked at the small pit in front of him, and the supervisor frowned, "Is there really a source stone spirit here?"
The third superintendent also shook his head slightly, "Dig first and take a look"
"Old immortal, dig it for me!" the superintendent immediately shouted at the old man.
When the old man heard the order of the superintendent, he picked up the pickaxe on the ground.
Bang!
Bang!
As the old man waved the iron pickaxe, the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, except for digging up a few ordinary source stones, where was there any so-called source stone essence.
The old man also became more and more panicked the more he dug up, and kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
Another cup of tea passed, and the old man couldn't help the tiredness brought by his body, and the iron pickaxe in his hand was put down, standing in place and panting.
"What about the source stone essence you are talking about?" The face of the superintendent had already collapsed, after digging for so long, there were a lot of source stones on the ground, but not a single source stone essence appeared.
Looking at the superintendent's indifferent face, the old man's heart trembled, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, "Overseer......! I really don't know, I really dug up that source stone spirit here!"
"What do you think, junior?" asked the regulator sideways.
The third superintendent shook his head, but his eyes were always on the big hole dug by the old man, "I don't think it is possible for the source stone spirit to appear here, if it was the source stone essence, it would have been discovered a long time ago, how could a piece only appear now?"
After hearing this, the supervisor frowned, "It seems that our trip is in vain"
The supervisor was just about to leave, but he found that the old man was still trembling and kneeling on the ground, and his heart was even more angry.
Feeling the cold gaze of the superintendent, the old man kneeling on the ground couldn't help but shudder, "Lord Superintendent...... I"
Burst......
......
"They seem to be talking?" Guang Tao said.
Gu Feng sighed in his heart, "Do you really want to go over?"
"What should I do?" Kong Qing asked slowly.
A few people stubbornly clubbed in place for a while before Jiang Wen spoke, "If you stay here today, you can only blame your fate!"
"Let's go!"
One step, two steps.
The four of them all put their steps very slowly, as if they had a few pounds of thick iron on their ankles.
"I should be able to leave the Old Source District by the end of this month," said a martial artist.
Another warrior said enviously, "Alas, what a good luck, why is there no us on the list this time?"
"Haha, maybe it's just your bad luck" The warrior teased, his eyes full of pride.
The four of them finally walked to the side of the superintendent.
Jiang Wen quietly closed his eyes and stepped through the passageway.
Just as Kong Qing and the three of them were about to walk over, a martial artist suddenly shouted, "You guys!
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Jiang Wen slowly turned around and replied, "My lord, we are going to the twenty-sixth district now."
Seeing Jiang Wen's unhurried appearance, the martial artist couldn't help but ask, "Why are you going to District 26? Can't you mine here? Who told you to go?"
Seeing that the other martial artists also looked over, Kong Qing and the four of them were even more frightened in their hearts, and after a few consecutive questions, Jiang Wen didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, Kong Qing hurriedly said respectfully, "My lord, it is our supervisor who said that it seems that some special ore was found in District 26, so we were asked to go to District 26 to dig."
"How come this hasn't been the case before" The martial artist frowned, looking at Kong Qing and not looking like an untamable slave, but he still couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
The martial artist finally survived for half a year, if something happened at this time, then what kind of home would he go back to this month, I am afraid that he would have to stay here for the rest of his life!
"I'm going to go in and ask you about it!" said the warrior as he prepared to walk towards the mine.
Kong Qing's four brains suddenly turned white, and a sense of fear instantly permeated their bodies.
"Do you really want to explain here?" Kong Qing's heart trembled.
Whether it was Kong Qing or Jiang Wen, the three of them also thought the same way in their hearts, but they still didn't show their fear too much.
Just when Kong Qing and the others were at a loss, another martial artist pulled back the former martial artist who walked towards the mine.
"What are you going to do, those of them, just to fight for a few young slaves, today and tomorrow, a few of them will be gagged at a glance," the Hou Wu said disdainfully.
Hearing the words of the rear warrior, the former warrior walked back and said with a disgusted face, "Okay, okay, I don't want to go in yet, what is the difference between their virtue and these slaves?"
Hearing the words of the former martial artist, Kong Qing and the four of them immediately exhaled fiercely, but their hearts were still beating violently.
"Survived......" Kong Qing's mind suddenly turned white, and he almost couldn't help but fall.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't you get out of here" The former martial artist couldn't help but shout when he saw that Kong Qing and the others were still in place.
"Yes, my lord, let's go first!" Kong Qing hurriedly replied.
Jiang Wen also came back to his senses, shook his body, and walked forward.
Gu Feng also swept away the apprehension in his heart and walked away.
Kong Qing just took a step, but found that Guang Tao was actually stunned in place, Kong Qing's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly whispered, "Guang Tao!"
Seeing that Guang Tao hadn't reacted yet, Kong Qing took a step forward and grabbed Guang Tao's arm, glanced at a few martial artists, and then shouted, "Don't hurry up! If you can't complete the task tonight, you won't even be able to eat steamed buns!"
"Bang!"
Guang Tao came to his senses in an instant, looked at Kong Qing in front of him, and then looked back at the five martial artists who continued to chat, and then hurriedly followed Kong Qing and the three of them out of the passage.
"Whew!"
When they came to an Araki, the four of them loosened their bodies at the same time and immediately lay on the ground.
Lying flat on the rocks, Kong Qing slowly opened his eyes, looking at the dark sky, Kong Qing couldn't help but say relaxedly, "We actually survived again"
"Yes, we survived again!" Jiang Wen said bitterly.
"When will such days end," Gu Feng also opened his eyes and looked at the dark sky.
Kong Qing stretched out his palm, even though it was dark around, Kong Qing could still vaguely see the hard calloon on his hand, which was the mark left by three years of mining.
Guang Tao, who had been silent, suddenly broke the tranquility of the four people, "Brother Jiang"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Wen replied.
After more than a dozen breaths, Guang Tao didn't speak again, Jiang Wen couldn't help but ask, "Just say something, grind and chirp like a girl"
"That's right, Guangtao, just say anything, I'll have to rush to the fourteenth district later," Gu Feng said with a smile.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Gu, Brother Kong, I'm ......" Guang Tao stopped halfway through his words.
Gu Feng couldn't help but sit up, looked at Guang Tao lying beside him and scolded, "When did you become like this, our brothers are not outsiders."
Kong Qing and Jiang Wen also sat up slowly, Jiang Wen smiled lightly, "Guangtao, just say anything, we are here."
"Okay!" Guang Tao replied suddenly, and then sat up as well.
In the pitch-black environment, the four of Kong Qing could see each other's facial features vaguely.
"I feel like I can't hold on anymore......"
"Bang!"
Guang Tao had just finished speaking, and Gu Feng grabbed Guang Tao's shoulder, "What did you say?"
"Gu Feng!" Jiang Wen hurriedly pushed Gu Feng's hand away, "Let him speak!"
