The Ancient City Contest ended under the watchful eyes of all forces, and Xing Yu once again made a splash, overwhelming Wang Xiao, and unceremoniously extorted 50,000 spars from the Wang family.

And the Xingjia became the biggest winner, not only in the limelight, winning a lot of bets, but also taking over the entire hematite mine logically.

It's a big rocky mountain, and a small part of the mountain has collapsed, so that it can be easily mined.

The brown rock is exposed, and a group of big men are working hard, and a deep mine cave is from the bottom to the top, and from time to time someone pushes a wooden cart, which is full of reddish-brown rock.

These reddish-brown rocks are hematite, and after being mined, they are calcined and refined to obtain large quantities of hematite.

Hematite is a special metal, more advanced than black iron, not only hard, but also contains the power of red flame, there are many treasures that are forged with hematite.

Therefore, hematite has a high value, and the criminal family has definitely picked up a big bargain to win such a large hematite, and the value of the entire iron ore alone is enough for all the expenses of the city lord's mansion.

Originally, the Lin family and the Wang family were good friends, and this hematite was also the name of the competition that the Lin family wanted to hand over to the Wang family.

didn't want to rush out halfway to bite the gold, Xing Yu resumed his cultivation, overpowered Wang Xiao, and obtained the first person in the ancient city, which was not expected by the Lin and Wang families.

After the forces of all parties were no longer in the door, the criminal family immediately put all their energy on this hematite mine, once it was used reasonably, the assets of the criminal family would skyrocket, and it was even possible to overpower the Wang family.

Therefore, Xing Aotian temporarily put down other industries and focused most of his energy on hematite.

"How many are these?"

In an open field on the outskirts of the hematite mine, the criminals, as well as hundreds of guards and miners, all stood with solemn faces, and some miners' eyes sometimes drifted to the cave under the mine, with undisguised fear in their eyes.

"For three days in a row, seven miners have disappeared inside. ”

Xing Lie frowned and whispered to Xing Aotian.

When the other miners heard this, they all shrunk their necks and subconsciously looked at the mine, as if it was not a mine, but a bloody mouth, waiting for them to die.

"Tell me, what do you see?"

Xing Aotian looked solemnly at a miner and asked.

"Back to the master, in the cave...... There's a devil in the cave......"

The miner stood in front of Xing Aotian with gauze wrapped around his forehead, his face full of horror, his voice still trembling when he spoke, as if he didn't want to remember what had happened before.

"Wherever the devil comes, it must be a wild beast, don't be afraid, just tell the truth. ”

Xing Aotian's face was not good, they were all people who cultivated the truth, how could they believe in any ghosts and gods.

"That day...... That day, the four of us were mining under the mine, and suddenly we heard a rustling sound inside, out of curiosity, the four of us dared to go over to check, but we didn't expect to find a hidden cave behind a boulder......"

The miner tried his best to stabilize his mood, after all, he was now standing outside the cave in broad daylight, and there were Xing Aotian and others, so his emotions gradually calmed down, and he began to seriously describe the scene he saw yesterday.

"And then?"

Xing Lie has a straightforward personality, and his curiosity is aroused, and he can't wait.

The miner swallowed, and when he thought of the cryptic cavern, he still had palpitations, and sweat gradually oozed from his forehead.

Stabilized his emotions and continued: "Those rustling sounds came from the cave behind the boulder, originally I wanted to tell them to leave and report these things to the master, but Li Er was bold and curious, he said to go down first and see, in case there is any treasure......"

Speaking of this, the miner looked up and secretly glanced at Xing Aotian, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Go on. ”

Xing Aotian didn't pay attention to these, he was more concerned about the following things.

Seeing that Xing Aotian did not mean to blame, the miner continued to describe, "I am relatively timid, so they left me outside, and Li Er took the lead, led Lao Tan and Zhang Wei, and went down with three torches. ”

"Go down...... After going down, before a cup of tea, I heard a scream, a gust of fishy wind blowing out of the cave, I didn't know why, the body seemed to be not obeying the call, which is the cave, it is clearly hell. ”

The miner's face was pale, and he recalled the scene at that time, even though the scorching sun was high on his head, his whole body was still cold, and his hands and feet were covered with sweat.

No one urged, and the miner slowed down for a long time before speaking again: "I heard Li Er's constant screams, shouting what monsters and devils in his mouth, just as I turned around to run, Li Er suddenly struggled to crawl out of the cave, when he was covered in blood and had a broken arm." ”

I thought he would be able to escape by crawling out of the cave, but I didn't expect a blood-red tentacle to suddenly stretch out and drag him back alive, at that time Li Er was not out of breath, his eyes looked at me in horror, but my body had long since stopped obeying the call, and I was powerless to save him, and then I heard Li Er's screams, as well as the sound of chewing bones and flesh. ”

After saying this, the miner was paralyzed on the ground, his body was soaked with cold sweat, his face was pale and terrifying, he was just an ordinary person, after experiencing this, I am afraid it will become a shadow of his life.

"Do you see that tentacle clearly?

Xing Yu was also on the side, frowning and asking, obviously this is a tricky question.

"At that time, the torch fell, and the hole was dark, and I couldn't see it clearly, but it should be bloody, like a woman's palm, and the nails were very long...... That's all I remember. ”

"Take him down to rest, and give the miners' families a thousand gold coins, so that they can take care of them. ”

Xing Aotian commanded the subordinates, and then looked gloomily at the mine.

"From his description, it should be a beast's den, but it's not clear what kind of beast it is. ”

Xing Yan calmly analyzed.

"It's useless to analyze like this, let me go down and see, if it's a fierce beast, it will be cleared, and it can't affect the mining of ore because of this. ”

Xing Aotian immediately made a decision and prepared to go down to check it out.

"Bring all the guys, prepare torches and gunpowder. ”

Xing Aolin personally ordered twenty good players and prepared them properly.

"Second brother, you take Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu to stay, and do the aftermath. ”

Xing Aotian stopped Xing Aolin and glanced at him.

"Okay. ”

Xing Aolin saw Xing Aotian's eyes and nodded, understanding his thoughts.

"Let me go down and see, and let me see it for a long time. ”

Xing Yu is obviously not the master of peace, and he volunteered to see the mystery in the mine.

"Be careful, don't be reckless. ”

Xing Aotian hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

"Second uncle has to take good care of the house, what if the thief comes?"

Xing Yu said to Xing Aolin with a smile, and there was something in his words.

"Little rabbit, I also use you to remind the second uncle to be careful. ”

Xing Aolin glanced at Xing Yu angrily, of course he understood what he meant.

"Let's go. ”

Seeing that he was ready, Xing Aotian waved his hand, and took Xing Lie, Xing Yu and more than 20 good hands, and walked towards the mine first.

"Xiao Yan, gather all the people and horses of the City Lord's Mansion and hide them in the dark. ”

After everyone entered the cave, Xing Aolin calmly instructed Xing Yan.

~~~~~~~

Xing Yu and his party walked into the mine.

The cave is very spacious, and there are torches on both sides, which illuminates the inside of the cave, so as to facilitate the mining of miners.

According to the miner's description, the beast's den should be in the deepest part of the mine, so everyone quickened their pace and did not stop.

All around were strangely shaped stones, most of them dark red, which had been excavated by the miners, and scattered tools scattered on the ground, after all, there was such a thing in the mine, and everyone left in a hurry.

"Shh

Xing Aotian made a gesture of silence, and everyone stopped and held their breath.

"Hiss~"

Sure enough, the group had reached the depths of the mine and heard the voice described by the surviving miner.

"There. ”

Xing Lie pointed to a large rock in the depths of the mine, and it was from where the sound came from.

Following the direction of Xing Lie's point, everyone came to a hidden corner of the mine, and as the miner described, there was a hidden cave behind the boulder, which was emitting a cold air.

"That's it. ”

Xing Yu waved his hand and led a few people to move the boulder away, revealing the original appearance of the cave to facilitate their entry and exit.

"Cheer up all of you, and be calm for a while, no matter what comes your way. ”

Xing Aotian reminded again, and then left two people to answer, and led the others in.

The cave is not big, it can only allow one person to pass through, Xing Aotian is the first cave, Xing Yu is in the middle, and the back of the Torture Martyr's Palace, in order to deal with emergencies at any time.

As soon as they entered the cave, everyone was eroded by a cold air, which made people very uncomfortable, as if it was not an ordinary stone cave, but a gate to hell.

"These are the bones of those miners, right?"

After only a few steps, a corpse appeared at his feet, the twisted bones were stained with blood, the internal organs and flesh were gone, only the scarlet bones remained, and the death was horrible.

"Hiss~"

"Rustle~"

At this moment, there was a slight sound in the distance, and everyone immediately cheered up, and the unknown was the most dangerous.

If it is a fierce beast standing in front of everyone, it is not terrible.

But in the depths of this unknown cavern, it was pitch black everywhere, and in the face of unknown creatures, there was a strange and terrifying aura all around.

In such an atmosphere, everyone inevitably panicked, and the palms of the hands holding the weapons were covered with sweat.

Sou......

"There. ”

A guard's sharp eyes saw a black shadow, which flashed away, and hurriedly reminded everyone loudly.

"Chase. ”

Xing Aotian gave an order and led everyone to chase into the depths of the cave.

"Rustling ......"

As the crowd went deeper, the hissing sound became more and more, and not only in front of them, but also behind them.

"Not true. ”

Xing Aotian's face changed, and he snatched the torch from one of the guards and shone it on the wall.

"Hiss~"

Seeing the situation on the wall, everyone took a big breath.

The walls were densely packed, and the walls were filled with caves of all sizes, and because of the dim light and the fact that everyone was busy chasing the noise, they didn't pay attention to the walls.

On the blood-colored walls, large and small caves, from the size of a fist to the size of a basin, the rustling sound came from the small bloody cave.

"Oh no, get out. ”

Xing Yu reacted first, and let out a loud shout, waking everyone up, the cave was quite spacious, enough for them to turn around and escape.

"Rustling ......"

Everyone had just run a few steps, and they were all forced to stop, and countless blood shadows gathered around them.

"What is this?"

Looking at the dense blood shadows, everyone was shocked and had goosebumps all over their bodies.

"Blood python, how can there be so many blood pythons here?"

Xing Aotian's face changed, and he said tremblingly.
