This middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes is wearing a light gray casual clothes, and he has a calm and unhurried temperament between his hands and feet.

He was empty-handed and didn't carry any weapons, but he had a very powerful feeling.

After he appeared where Ye Hao had stood just now, he stopped and quickly glanced around the surrounding mountains and forests.

"Huh?"

He seemed a little surprised, and muttered softly.

At this moment, in the depths of the mountain forest, there was a slight noise, like the sound of a small branch being trampled on.

His body shook slightly, like a ghost, and suddenly disappeared in place.

After this person disappeared for a while, Ye Hao reappeared here.

"Damn, I didn't expect him to be a seven-star martial artist!"

Ye Hao sighed.

He originally thought that those who came in military vehicles were all soldiers, but things were obviously not that simple. The middle-aged man who suddenly appeared just now was a genuine monk, and he was also a powerful monk at the level of a seven-star martial artist.

Even in the cultivation realm, this kind of martial artist-level monk is a rare existence, let alone a seven-star martial artist.

When the man found Ye Hao just now, he was at least seven or eight hundred meters away from Ye Hao. Separated by the dense mountains and forests, and the distance is so far, that person can find Ye Hao at the first time and chase after him in the blink of an eye, which is really amazing.

Fortunately, Ye Hao's reaction just now was also very fast, and he immediately escaped into the dense forest, and at the same time sacrificed his true qi armor to cover all his breath.

Although Ye Hao is also a seven-star martial artist now, and his cultivation is on par with that person, at such a close distance, it is difficult to do it without the help of the other party's True Qi armor if he wants not to be discovered by the other party.

The True Qi Armor can not only protect the body, but also cover the aura and hide the cultivation, which is very powerful.

Ye Hao was a little careless before, he didn't expect such a powerful monk to appear here, so he didn't sacrifice the True Qi Armor in advance. If he had done it earlier, it would not have been so easy for that person to find him.

After Ye Hao sacrificed his True Qi Armor, that person really couldn't detect his existence. In fact, after Ye Hao escaped into the dense forest just now, the distance from that person was only a few dozen meters away, but that person never found Ye Hao's existence again.

The slight sound coming from the depths of the mountain forest just now was not a movement made by Ye Hao, it might just be a small animal running through the mountain forest.

Ye Hao released his divine sense, carefully probed the surrounding situation, and after being sure that there was no one else within a radius of five hundred meters, he was relieved and bold and continued to observe the situation at the gate of the gold mine.

At the gate of the gold mine, the guard force has been significantly strengthened.

In addition to the original armed police soldiers, there were more than a dozen men in black combat uniforms. The temperament of those people is very similar to that of soldiers, they are physically strong, they are disciplined, and their weapons are much more advanced than those of the armed police.

Ye Hao felt that those people should be special forces, but he didn't understand why those people didn't wear military uniforms.

When Ye Hao was observing the situation, the door of the gold mine suddenly opened, and two men who were also wearing black combat uniforms hurriedly ran out from inside.

They carried a large rectangular black metal box to the center of the road about ten meters away from the gate of the gold mine, and placed the large black metal box on the ground.

The box was obviously heavy, and when it was placed on the ground, it made a muffled thud.

Immediately afterwards, inside the gate of the gold mine, another middle-aged man in gray casual clothes walked out of it.

This person's expression looked much calmer, and his pace was not in a hurry.

The clothes he was wearing were very similar to the seven-star martial artist Ye Hao met just now, and his figure was similar. Ye Hao thought at first that he was the person he had just met, but after taking a closer look, he found that the two were not the same person.

Because of the distance, Ye Hao couldn't judge the other party's cultivation, but guessed that the other party was probably also a very powerful monk.

The man walked over to the large black box placed in the middle of the road, stopped, and commanded the two men in black combat uniforms to open the box and pull out a thick silver metal rod from it.

The metal rod was polished to a very smooth finish, and there were some zigzag grooves carved into it, which looked a little weird. It appears to be made of sterling silver, looks shiny, about the thickness of an adult's arm, and is about a meter and a half meters long.

The metal rod was obviously heavy and required two people to lift it.

They lifted the metal rod to about fifteen meters to the left of the center of the road and placed it on the ground. Then, another man in a black combat uniform, carrying a hole-punching machine, came over and began to make holes in the ground next to the metal rod.

After a screeching sound, a hole was drilled into the gravel floor.

They stuck the thick metal rod into the hole in the ground and fixed it again.

Then, in the same way, fifteen meters from the center of the road to the right, they erected the same silver metal rod again.

During this process, the man in gray civilian clothes, who had been directing from the sidelines, also fiddled with the two metal rods with his hands.

After erecting the two silver metal rods, the man in gray civilian clothes turned and walked away, back inside the gold mine gate.

The gates of the mine were closed again, and the mountain pass was once again quiet.

More than a dozen armed policemen and men in black combat uniforms continued to stand guard in front of the gate of the gold mine without saying a word.

Ye Hao was a little curious about the two silver metal rods erected in the middle of the road, and couldn't help but take a few more looks. He didn't know what it was for, but it was mostly some kind of defense and alarm device.

He didn't know if this thing could detect his presence, so he didn't dare to approach him.

He had planned to infiltrate the gold mine directly, but now it seems that the gold mine is heavily guarded, with highly cultivated monks patrolling the area and setting up a lot of strange defenses and alarm devices.

Ye Hao was pondering how to sneak into the gold mine unknowingly, when suddenly from the mountains and forests in the distance, there was a loud bang.

Rumble~~~~

It was loud, like something had exploded.

The soldiers guarding outside the gate of the gold mine were also alarmed, raised their weapons one after another, and turned their heads nervously to look around.

Ye Hao pricked up his ears and carefully distinguished, and found that the sound was not the sound of explosives exploding, but the sound of a powerful cultivator in a duel!

I'm, who's fighting with whom, and it's so big?

Could it be that besides him waiting for an opportunity to enter this gold mine, who else also wants to infiltrate this gold mine?!

Thinking of this, Ye Hao's body shook and rushed in the direction where the voice came from.

He wanted to go over and see who was fighting against him, and for what.
