Chapter 15: The Death Crisis
Outside the city, Su Chen and his entourage walked dozens of miles to the east, and it was almost dark after coming to the mining area.
It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Steward Wu got a report from the old absenteeism that there was another accident in the mining area, and several people died.
Steward Wu took Su Chen to the mining area, all the people stopped mining, many people gathered outside the mining area, and when they saw the appearance of several dead people on the ground, their faces were pale, and their eyes were round, which was very terrifying, which made the expressions of the people present change color, and they realized that they took a few steps back.
Su Chen also saw this scene, and his heart was also frightened, and his body was terrified, but these few of them had seen each other yesterday, but they died today, which really made him look dignified.
An old absentee said that several of them were the last to enter the mine and never came out again, until noon today, when our people entered the mine, they found them dead in the mine.
There were dead people in the mine, if it was a mining disaster, many people at the scene had met, but such a terrible death had never happened, everyone's eyes were staring at the mine, and for a while, many miners whispered in private.
"The mine inside is too scared, and seven or eight people have died in just a few days!"
"yes, it's terrible, so don't go in. ”
"Will someone seek money and kill someone, such a terrible way to die, but I heard that there is a legend of a murderer. ”
............
Steward Wu saw the tragic condition of several corpses, he frowned, and then instructed the miners: "These people should be buried well, the family members are appeased, and now they are temporarily mining, and after discussing this matter with the city lord, we will make a decision in the future." ”
When such a terrible thing happened, everyone's faces were panicked and a little shocked, and they gradually left the mining area.
Steward Wu took a few skilled old miners around him, and a group of people carefully observed and inspected, but did not find any problems around.
Steward Wu and several old absentees looked at each other, frowned, and discussed with each other, what happened was not outside, it was a problem inside the mine.
Then, after thinking about it, Steward Wu decided to arrange a few people to go down to the mine to explore the situation, and selected some old miners, who would have some fist and foot exercises, and invited a few thugs from the city, all with weapons, and dozens of people entered the mine under the leadership of Steward Wu.
And Su Chen was arranged by Steward Wu to be outside the entrance of the mine and wait for them to come back.
Su Chen didn't force him to follow up, because it was too dangerous, it was better to stay outside, the scene just now was a bit scary, and he was also frightened, he was worried about Steward Wu in his heart, and prayed for Steward Wu to return safely.
Steward Wu's group of people, a full hour has passed, they have not returned, Su Chen waited quietly outside the mine, but nothing happened.
It was almost dark, and Su Chen was the only one left outside the mine, so he had no choice but to build a fire and wait for Steward Wu and the others to return.
In this way, another hour passed, the sky was completely dark, and he continued to wait, which made Su Chen's heart begin to be anxious, and then, he got up and walked around, there was silence around the mine, looking at the mine from a distance, Steward Wu and the others still did not come out.
After a few more moments, a thin mist rose around the outside of the mine, and as time passed, the fog grew more and more, and it was almost impossible to see the entrance to the mine in front of him.
A gust of wind blew, the yin qi gusted, Su Chen felt extraordinary, the fog was getting bigger and bigger, plus it was night, he couldn't see the things in front of him clearly, he couldn't see his five fingers, he didn't dare to move around, his heart was uneasy, he stayed in front of the fire, and suddenly there were a few footsteps in the mine......
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Knock, knock, knock!"
After all, Su Chen was still a teenager, he was alone outside the mine, the fog was very big, he was a little worried in his heart, and he almost held his breath.
I couldn't see what I was looking for, there was an eerie aura all around, and there was a feeling of oppression in the air.
Su Chen asked softly, "Is Steward Wu you?"
There was no speech in the mine, nor did there be any response, which made Su Chen's heart uneasy, a little trembling, and he was about to turn around and run away.
A moonlight frost bloomed, gently illuminating, reflecting the fog there, the entrance of the mine slowly became clear, Su Chen's pupils were wide open and looked ahead, only to see a person, it was one of the old miners who entered the mine with Steward Wu in the evening.
However, at this time, the old miner's expression was a little scary, his face was pale, his hair was scattered, and his seven orifices were bleeding, and his standing body slowly fell to the ground.
"Ah...... Oh my God!"
Seeing this scene, Su Chen was taken aback, turned around and ran out, running faster and faster without looking back, his pace couldn't help but speed up a little, he didn't dare to look back, it was too scary.
After running out of the mine for a few miles, he stopped, thinking back to the scene just now, it scared him, that person died, Su Chen broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, and he was frightened.
Although he didn't know what was going on inside, he made up his mind that he wouldn't go back again, thinking that it would be better to leave the mine.
But the fog was getting bigger and bigger, and Su Chen ran wildly all the way, running around for some reason and not leaving the mining area, but as if he had run around and turned back.
At this time, behind Su Chen, there were a few more footsteps......
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Not good!" Su Chen felt that something was wrong, his heart trembled, he glanced back, his eyes stared at the footsteps behind him getting closer and closer, one step, two steps, three steps......
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Knock, knock, knock!"
After getting closer to the footsteps, Su Chen began to prepare to escape, but when he became clear, it turned out to be Steward Wu.
Ahead, Steward Wu also seemed to see Su Chen, and exclaimed, "Little Su Chen, it's you!"
When Steward Wu saw the person in front of him, he never expected it to be Su Chen.
Apparently he had just experienced something unimaginable.
Su Chen also panicked: "Steward Wu, it's you, are you okay?" ”
Su Chen took two steps forward, saw Steward Wu's clothes with blood stains on his body, and asked, "What happened?"
Steward Wu didn't rush to respond, he was a little impatient, and said, "Hurry up, kid, it's dangerous here, you should leave quickly." ”
"Steward Wu, what's wrong with you?" Su Chen said hurriedly.
"Don't talk, don't ask, go, remember to close your eyes, run straight ahead, don't look back. Steward Wu was a little frightened now, and hurriedly urged Su Chen to leave quickly.
Su Chen nodded, quickly turned around and ran out, and looked back halfway through, Steward Wu had already fallen to the ground, and there seemed to be a figure behind him.
After seeing Steward Wu fall, Su Chen quickly closed his eyes and ran faster, he ran rapidly, and soon disappeared in the mining area.
He only heard the footsteps behind him, and as he approached him step by step, a humanoid shadow emerged and quickly chased after Su Chen.
This humanoid shadow suddenly caught up with Su Chen, and a green light slapped on Su Chen's back.
Su Chen suddenly felt dizzy, and in an instant, the whole person fell to the ground, and he fainted and saw the human shadow clearly.
After this humanoid shadow approached Su Chen, he was about to kill him!
Another shadow quickly appeared in front of Su Chen.
Two figures, looking at each other, confronted each other, the moonlight fell, a man and a woman.
The man, extremely young, his appearance was extraordinary, he was dressed in white clothes, there was a trace of blood on the white clothes, and his face looked a little pale, as if he had suffered serious internal injuries.
The woman, decades old, was extremely beautiful, her long, straight hair was not coiled up, and it was draped over her shoulders, as soft as water.
In an instant, a gust of wind blew, and the atmosphere in the air was cold.
The woman spoke: "Let this young man go, during this period of time, you have killed so many people in order to replenish your blood, and it has caused the monks of Taixuan Palace, you go, I don't want to do anything with you." ”
The man's eyes were fixed on the woman, and he glanced at her, but he didn't say anything, turned and left.
