Soon after, the two of them took Zimo to the side of a huge mine, where many people were transporting some black ore, but the amount seemed to be very small, and it was the black rune stone that the two of them were talking about.

Seeing this, a question suddenly arose in Zimo's mind, since these fox clan monks couldn't enter it to mine black runes, why could they use black runes? This is a very contradictory thing.

"Do they have a special method? Is it possible to use the Black Rune Stone for cultivation yourself? ”

When Zimo thought of this, he heard Qingming speak, "Come with us." ”

After the two led Zimo to receive a sign, they were ready to leave, just telling him to come here to mine black runes with his heart, and they would come from time to time to check the number of black runes mined by Zimo, so that he would not think about being lazy.

"From now on, this sign will be your identity card, and it will also record the number of black runes you have mined, if it does not meet our requirements, then it is useless to keep you."

When Qingming said this, he looked at Zimo with some ill will.

"If you don't meet our requirements, I will throw you into the snake cave I raise, and let you suffer from the bite of the snake, so that you can't survive and die."

Qingya's face showed a hint of fierceness, and she spoke coldly.

"Yes, yes, although the two immortals can rest assured, I will work hard to mine the black rune stone, and I will not disappoint the two immortal masters."

Zimo showed a trace of "fear" on his face, and hurriedly reassured.

"Well, that's the best, but don't worry, if we meet our requirements, your benefits are indispensable, you can go."

Qingming showed a hint of a smile and gave Zimo an ethereal promise.

"Yes!"

Zimo bowed slightly, and then walked towards the mine.

Seeing that Zimo had already walked away, Na Qingming spoke, "Qingya, you said that this slightly larger rat can help us mine enough black runes for you and me to advance to the next level of realm?" ”

"It's getting more and more difficult to find a suitable mortal now, I just hope he can support it for a longer time, otherwise we won't have a black rune stone to cultivate, and it will be difficult to advance again."

Qing Ya sighed softly, looked at the black rune stone pit below, and continued to speak a little helplessly, "Alas, there are too few black rune stones, and the competition in my fox clan is so fierce, if it weren't for the family discovering this black rune ore vein, our cultivation would not have advanced so quickly." ”

"Compared to the rest of my fox clan, we're lucky enough, but..."

Speaking of which, Qingming didn't continue, looking a little worried.

"Are you worried that our family's illegal mining of black rune veins will be known to the Sky Fox King?"

Qingya's fingers curled up a strand of her hair, and she said casually.

"Aren't you worried?"

Qingming looked stunned and said in a deep voice.

"The clan elder has already executed all the people he knows, and the news will not leak, but we must also step up the search for the miners, after all, no matter what happens, it will inevitably have more complications after a long time."

After Qingya finished speaking, she turned and left.

Qingming seemed to want to say something, but he opened his mouth and didn't say it, and flew in the direction of Qingya with a flick of his hand.

Besides, after Zimo went down to the mine, he found that those people had empty eyes, and even some people had black spots on their faces, and some people were coughing incessantly, and a lot of black blood oozed from the corners of their mouths.

When he arrived at the bottom of the mine, Zimo found that there were six mines around, and with the hammer and chisel he had just received in his hand, he walked towards the mine marked No. 3.

Zimo's identity plate is 3049 on it, according to what the fox monk said just now, 3049 represents the forty-nine people in the No. 3 mine, which means that before him, there have been forty-eight people who have mined black runes in this mine.

But Zimo walked more than a hundred meters and did not reach the deepest part of the mine, and only saw two people carrying ore.

"Why are there so few people here?"

Zimo said secretly in his heart.

He walked over to one of them and said, "I'm a new miner, what about the others here?" ”

But the man didn't even look at Zimo, just transported the ore with a numb expression, without any mood fluctuations.

Immediately after that, Zimo kept asking four or five people, they all looked numb, without a trace of the expression that a person should have, Zimo was also a little heavy in his heart, could it be that this black rune stone has such a serious impact on people?

After walking for more than three hundred meters, Zimo finally reached the deepest part of the mine, and also arrived at the place where the black runes were mined, where there were only seven or eight people beating with hammers and chisels.

However, these people did not communicate at all, and mechanically did the repetitive movements.

Coming here, Zimo did not mine the black rune stone as promised by the two fox people, but looked around, since he was here, Zimo had to figure out what the black rune stone was, and with cultivation, he had to leave as soon as possible, he couldn't waste time here all the time.

At the bottom of this mine, everyone mines in different directions, which causes some people to dig deeper, some people to shallower, each in their own position, and do not invade each other.

These stones don't look much different from ordinary stones, the only difference is that here, Zimo feels a breath that he has never seen before, and this breath seems to drill into a person's body along the pores of a person.

"Is that why those people are being eroded? What the hell is this? ”

Zimo bit his lip and muttered quietly.

This kind of stone has a trace of black patterns on it, and it is extremely heavy, with Zimo's physical strength, a fist-sized piece feels a little difficult, not to mention these mortals, no wonder they can only transport out a very small number of stones at a time.

In a blink of an eye, it was already time to eat, and Zimo received some food that looked very delicious.

"I didn't expect the food here to be good, and the fox clan has not lost its conscience."

Zimo said secretly in his heart.

He looked around and saw that the people were eating the food like a hungry wolf seeing meat, and it could be said that these people were not people now, but animals.

But Zimo carefully found that among the people here, there was an old man who did not eat, but took out a dry steamed bun and gnawed it.

From his eyes, Zimo saw pity and bitterness, as well as deeply hidden fear.

Seeing this, Zimo kept a heartfelt eye, and instead of eating the food, he walked towards the old man.

"Why don't you eat these foods?"

Zimo's sudden words startled the old man, and the steamed buns in his hands almost fell to the ground, and he choked on the water used to dry the hard steamed buns in his mouth, choking him and coughing heavily.

The old man looked back and saw Zimo, and found that he had not seen Zimo, he looked around cautiously, stretched out his finger and put it to his mouth, "Shh, be quiet." Then the old man motioned for Zimo to follow him.
