Chapter 3 Wasted Mines
After a few people walked away, Lin Yi sat on the ground sluggishly, thinking that he had enough strength to protect everything, but after what happened just now, he saw the reality clearly.
How insignificant his power is to those who have already refined qi.
This blow is no less than the sky falling, and Lin Yi can understand why his predecessor has become what it is now.
is powerless to protect it, and can only watch everything be lost, even he wants to escape this cruel reality at the moment,
"Thief God, what do you mean by playing with me like this!"
Lin Yi roared with exhaustion, his fists couldn't help clenching, and he didn't know that his nails were embedded in his palms.
When he was alive in his previous life, there was no future, and even if he wore his soul now, the future seemed to be just a flash in the pan for him.
How he wanted to be strong at this point so that none of this would happen again.
But even if you cry, the world will not respond, it will not stop because of anyone.
"To live, to live is to have hope. ”
Lin Yi is unwilling to be the way he is now, even if he really seems to be forgotten by the world, he wants to fight hard, at least there is still a chance now, although this chance is also very slim.
Because the barren mine that Luo Chen said is a deserted mine.
In my memory, legend has it that a long time ago, the spirit ore collected on that route was the most abundant, but as I dug deeper, the spirit stones mined became more and more scarce, until later all of them were ordinary stones.
The original patriarch even specially invited the masters to come and check, but when he went deep into the ground, he didn't find the spirit stone that it should be, so he thought that the mining was clean, and then transferred to the mining cave that is being mined now.
By now, there was no one working on that mine road, and arranging Lin Yi to dig at this time was just to separate him from each other.
But Lin Yi believed that Luo Chen would not be untargeted, since he was arranged to a place where no one was, then next, even if he was killed, no one would know.
Although Lin Yi didn't want to go to the deserted mine very much, he knew in his heart that it would not be safe even outside.
His palm was almost scrapped just now, and he didn't see Luo Ren appear to stop him, so it can be seen that he shouldn't care much about himself, and the unmanned mine is accessible in all directions because of early mining, as long as he hides in it, Lin Yi doesn't believe that Luo Chen can find him.
And in it, no one knows even if you don't work, and you can temporarily recuperate.
He knew that the road ahead was bumpy, but now he could only take one step at a time.
Rubbing his rumbling belly, he walked from memory to a large room.
"Have you heard? Luo Yun went to bully Lin Yi just now, and was almost beaten to death. ”
"I've heard the guards say that the wild boy started a fire like madness, and beat people to death, and it's terrible to think about. ”
"Tsk, the rabbit is going to bite when it's urgent, and I see who dares to bully their brothers in the mine in the future, I'm afraid I will have to weigh it. ”
"Hehe, I haven't bullied them, but the guards, I'm afraid I'll bypass him when I see him in the future. ”
In the cafeteria, everyone talked about Lin Yi, for them, some people still couldn't believe that a person who was usually weak and could be bullied was once terrifying.
However, when Lin Yi entered the cafeteria, the cafeteria, which was still bustling and extraordinary, instantly became quiet, and some of the people who had bullied him even hid under the table, for fear of being seen.
Lin Yi showed a hint of a smile, and his suppressed heart was released a little, and as he moved forward, the crowd blocking in front of him separated one way.
The scene in front of him made him understand that although he put himself in danger by attacking Luo Yun just now, as long as he was alive, he would have a deterrent to the people in the mine, even if he was hiding in the deserted mine, Luo Xiuwu would no longer be bullied by others.
Under the eyes of everyone, Lin Yi devoured it, eager to swallow the food he received.
At this moment, his tears are about to flow, how long has it been since he really eaten, when he was alive in his previous life, he relied on some liquid food, how can he eat as much as he does now.
"It's good to be alive!"
It wasn't until Lin Yi filled his stomach and left with a large bag of dry food in the stunned eyes of everyone that the quiet canteen gradually had a sound and became active again.
Lin Yi returned to the room and simply cleaned up and walked towards the wasteland, he didn't want to stay too long, he arrived earlier now, and he could still observe the terrain, otherwise he would be at a loss when Luo Chen came to find him.
The wasted mine is at the other end of the current mining cave, because no one has stepped into it for many years, and there is a lack of care, and the stones that release a glimmer of light on the long mine road are covered by dust, although it is not so that the road ahead cannot be seen clearly, but it is also extremely dim and gloomy.
As he went deeper, the mine became darker, and Lin Yi couldn't help but tremble, as if he had come to a horror movie, and he always felt that someone was watching him secretly.
"It must be psychological. ”
He kept reassuring himself, groping his way through the slightly brighter mines, looking for which ones were dead ends and which ones could be linked to other routes.
When the sound of footsteps came from the quiet mine, Lin Yi knew that Luo Chen was coming.
"Brother Lin, I know you're in there, let's stop playing hide and seek. Luo Chen's voice echoed in the mine, with a hint of sadism.
"I know you still have a bit of luck, but when you stepped into this mine, in fact, your fate was already sealed, and the Great Elder agreed to my arrangement for you, which means that you have been abandoned by Shicun, so what's the point of hiding like this. ”
Luo Chen walked slowly in the mine, sometimes smashing the rock wall with the picked up hoe to make a sound, with a smile on his face, but the light in his eyes seemed to be playing cat and mouse again.
Lin Yi was unmoved, resisted the dry food that was forcibly taken in the canteen, and slowly moved towards the route he began to explore.
He had long known that this was a protracted battle, since Luo Chen had stepped into Qi refining, it was impossible for him to consume it like himself, he would have to leave Shicun sooner or later, otherwise he would never be able to progress, because Shicun did not have his own Qi Refining Method.
And as long as you can survive the past, you can win a glimmer of life for the future!
Lin Yi had already made plans, and after Luo Chen left Shicun, he went to ask the former patriarch of Shicun who had adopted him to leave with Luo Xiuwu.
Although he was silent in the mine, Luo Chen still spoke.
"Brother Lin, I was originally here today to tell you the good news that I stepped into Qi refining, so that you can also be happy, but I didn't expect you to change, and it seems that you have returned to the past, oh, by the way, you may not know why I am targeting you until now. ”
Luo Chen said quietly, but his voice suddenly changed, and he roared, venting the anger that had been hidden in his heart.
"Because your arrival took away my genius name, took away the opportunity to enter the naked door, and took away everything from me, how willing you made me, did you ever think that there would be today, if you were still that down-and-out, I might still be soft-hearted and let you go, but the eyes you showed in the morning scared me, so you must die, who made us once good brothers, let me know you better than others. ”
"The spirit stones handed over by Shicun in five years can only be exchanged for a place to enter the Naked Body Gate, why should I give you an outsider, so I used a little trick, but I didn't expect it to be so successful, and now it seems that your brain that has been with the beast for a long time is stupid. ”
Listening to Luo Chentian's shameless words, Lin Yi trembled with anger, and kept roaring in his heart, wanting to rush out and fight to the death with Luo Chen.
The predecessor was in the company of wild beasts when he was very young, and it can be said that he had a pure heart, and he didn't understand what a conspiracy was, but after being accepted by Ishimura, he was praised by many because of his cultivation talent, and he always felt that humans were friendly kinds, so he was easily deceived by Luo Chen.
At this time, after being uncovered by Luo Chen, the angry plot seemed to set Lin Yi on fire.
But he knew in his heart that as long as there was a slight movement now, he was afraid that he would be killed next.
Luo Chen listened attentively, but he didn't move for a while, and suddenly asked loudly: "Actually, the Great Elder also knows that you were wronged, and he also knows that I stole the pill, but he didn't blame me, do you want to know why?"
But he didn't know that Lin Yi was no longer the person he knew, even if he said it, Lin Yi's heart would not be shaken in the slightest if he wanted to live.
In the end, Luo Chen sighed helplessly: "Alas, I didn't expect you to grow up now, you are no longer the person who is willful, I should have killed you when I framed you, and now there will be no such troubles, but unfortunately my father has coveted the position of the patriarch for a long time, and Luo Shan voluntarily gave up the position of the patriarch, and even went deep into the Black Stone Mountains to collect medicinal materials and re-refine a Baicao Pill as compensation, so that you could escape the catastrophe, but it is not too late now." ”
Lin Yi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he crawled on the ground, and he was relieved to find that Luo Chen's footsteps gradually faded, and the sound disappeared after half a sound.
"Did you dodge?"
But before he could get excited, suddenly a loud roar sounded, and the mine began to shake, as if an earthquake had occurred, and cracks began to appear in the rock wall, which quickly spread to the depths.
"How dare he do this, so that he is not afraid of spreading to another mine?"
Lin Yi's face changed greatly, he didn't expect Luo Chen to be so ruthless, in order to achieve his goal, he was simply unscrupulous, without the slightest humanity.
He frantically rushed outside, but when he reached the middle of the mine, he saw that the elevator leading to the outside had collapsed.
Lin Yi secretly hated in his heart, all this was obviously done by Luo Chen.
He quickly turned around and ran towards the deepest part of the mine, although the mountain began to crack in front of him, he still did not give up.
If you stand still, you are afraid that it will be filled in before long, and running into the depths may only delay for a moment, but at least there is hope, and it is better than giving up and waiting for death.
Lin Yi understood that even if Luo Chen stepped into Qi refining, he would not have such an ability, and the power to make the mountains collapse, at least no one in the stone village could do it.
Apparently he used gunpowder from the quarrying, and at most caused a chain reaction to destroy the mine.
But even so, in the smoke-filled mines, Lin Yi did not dare to slack off.
