"Why are you back here again?" Xiao Lin swept his eyes around, and found that he followed Su He back to the place where he had fought before under the cover of night, and in the distance there were still corpses lying all over the place, and the pitch-black giant tree turned into two and stuck diagonally in the dirt.

"Naturally, I came to gather some intelligence and evidence. Suhe said softly, "This kind of formation is not innate, it must be artificially laid, as long as someone has been haunted here, then he will definitely leave some clues, and if you look for it, you will definitely find something." ”

"But the scope here is so big, we should call Qin Ke and them to come over. Xiao Lin said, the previous formations covered a wide range, just by him and Su He, this has to be checked until when.

"If you're lucky, you'll get the results soon. Su He whispered, he beckoned Xiao Lin to follow him, and the two of them quickly swept towards the pitch-black giant tree.

"What's the secret on this tree?" Xiao Lin asked softly, looking at the strangely shaped tree with some curiosity, and his sword marks still remained on it.

"It's the first time I've seen trees as eyes. "There must be something in this tree that can show us the way, you go and look at the half, I'll search for it here." ”

"Oh. Xiao Lin answered, his body shook in front of the other half of the black tree, his palm gently touched it, and there was a cold feeling from his fingertips, and there was a slight tingling sensation.

"Strange big tree. Xiao Lin muttered quietly, "There are really things in this world." Although the trunk and branches of the tree were already dark, it was the first time he had seen such a black plant.

Xiao Lin took a deep breath and began to circulate the breathing method, which could not only perceive the movement around him, but also improve the sensitivity of his facial features, which could have a good effect when doing these search tasks.

Xiao Lin's eyes were dancing with pitch-black flames, and the pupils of his right eye lit up with a scarlet light, and he carefully observed the black tree, hoping to find some useful clues.

"Huh?" Xiao Lin suddenly stared at a place on the black tree, and let out a soft sigh from his mouth, "This is?" He reached out and grabbed a certain part of the black tree with his palm, as if a piece of cold metal was stuck in the main trunk of the black tree.

"What did you find?" Su He walked over, looked at the black metal in Xiao Lin's hand, and his brows slowly furrowed, "This is Black Cloud Gold?"

"Black Cloud Gold?" Xiao Lin was stunned, "What is that?"

"It is a rare metal used in forging, and is generally used to create powerful blades. Sukh said softly, "But this metal is very rare, and any small amount of black gold that can be incorporated into the blade will increase its power a lot. ”

"Then we found a treasure?" Xiao Lin said with some joy, his Moyang Sword needs a lot of these forging strange things to be reforged, and the more the better at this time.

"Look carefully, the other party took out the black gold, it must be related to the establishment of the formation, there must be more than that. Sukh whispered, and he returned to his half-black tree, and began to search for traces of black gold.

"Actually, I had a question from the beginning. Xiao Lin asked while looking for black gold.

"What's the doubt?" said Sukh without looking up.

"Why do we have to come here at night to collect clues, didn't we just do this by the way after breaking the formation before?" Xiao Lin asked puzzled.

"You mean that. Su He smiled, "If you change to a normal team of ability, you will naturally seize the time to collect information after the battle, but you are not mature after all." ”

Xiao Lin pursed his lips when he heard this: "So we have to treat it differently." ”

That's what it means. Su He nodded and said, "On the other hand, the movement when the formation was destroyed just now was too big, and it is very likely that it has aroused the idea of some people, and leaving the battle site as soon as possible can also save their lives, so as not to continue to be involved in the next wave of fighting." ”

"It's so complicated. Xiao Lin muttered quietly.

"Of course, if your squad is very powerful, you don't need to have so many concerns. Sukh continued, "But for now, it's better for you to be conservative in your decision-making, and that's a little advice from me." ”

"Got it. Xiao Lin nodded, taking the suggestion Su He had told him to heart.

After a while, Xiao Lin and Su He finally surveyed all the areas around the black tree, and also collected four small pieces of black gold, one of which had a small number of strange patterns on it.

"For now, these four pieces of black gold are our only clues. Sukh took one last look around, he knew that continuing to spend time in this place would probably not lead to anything, it was time to leave.

"What should I do next?" Xiao Lin asked, in the face of this situation, he had no idea at all, and he didn't know what to do next, at this time, it was better to honestly follow Su He's arrangement, and by the way, he could learn a little something.

"There's a huge market in Mayhem City, where rare metals like black gold occasionally appear. Sukh muttered, "We can go there and have a look, and maybe we can find something." ”

"If we go back to that kind of city, will we be targeted by that person?" Xiao Lin said with some concern, he was worried that the one-armed officer might do something to them in the city, although he really wanted to kill that person, but he also knew in his heart that it would be very disadvantageous for them to do it in the chaotic city.

"We try to keep things in the chaos city as little as possible. Suhe said softly, "If you want to deal with that person, you must do it outside the city, as for whether it will be plotted by the other party, I think this is very likely, but this is also the price we have to pay." ”

"Okay. Xiao Lin said very helplessly, there is always no smooth sailing in doing tasks, although he has not encountered smooth sailing tasks in this period of time.

Su He and the others left this area immediately after completing the intelligence gathering work, and returned to the place where Qin Ke and the others were after a while, but they heard a noisy conversation in the distance.

"What's going on?" Xiao Lin was stunned, "Is there anyone else coming to this kind of place?" He pondered, in this ghost place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, no one usually haunts, but he didn't expect to meet other people who are haunted.

"Don't come near just yet, just watch. Su He stopped Xiao Lin, and the two quickly hid into a shadow, carefully staring at the movement in the distance.

"Who of you, I don't have anything for you to eat. Mu Xuan clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked impatiently at the seven or eight figures in the distance, they were wearing workers' uniforms, their faces were still black and dusty, and their dry palms were covered with calluses, it seemed that they were working in a construction site.

"Where did such a group of workers come from?" Xiao Lin stared blankly into the distance, not understanding where these people came from.

Sukh stared thoughtfully at the group of people and said softly, "Look again." ”

"You speak well. Qin Ke looked at Mu Xuanyi angrily, turned his head to look at the group of workers, and asked softly, "Where are you from?"

A worker took two steps, looking very respectful and a little nervous: "We are working in a mine far away, but the contractor there is very cruel, the big guy is bullied day and night, sometimes he whips us unreasonably, it is really unbearable, everyone discusses running away together at night, but we lose our direction, and we can't find a place to stay, the big guy is hungry and tired, after seeing you, I plan to come and order food." ”

"Mine?" Qin Ke was stunned, "What mine?"

"It's a metal mine, most of which are scrap, and occasionally you dig up some precious metals, and you have to turn them in as soon as you dig them up. Another worker said.

"Where is the mining land you are talking about?" asked Mu Xuanyi.

"We can't tell. Another worker said, "We were all arrested directly, and everyone was crammed into a big box and transported to that place to work for their lives, and we didn't know the exact location." ”

"Mine?" Xiao Lin muttered to himself softly, and then he looked at Su He, "Could it be related to black gold?"

"It's possible. Sukh nodded, "If that place can really produce black gold, it is simply a natural treasure land, which will cause fierce disputes." ”

"Shall we go over and have a look? Xiao Lin's heart was full of curiosity, and at the same time, he also wanted to get more black gold, the more precious materials the better, and they would be able to use it when repairing the Moyang Sword in the future.

"Say it again. Suhe replied, and in an instant he went to the front of the workers, and asked softly, "Can any of you take us to the mine?"

Several workers looked at each other, no one responded, that place left them with too many bad memories, who would eat enough to have nothing to do and go back to that hell place, it was a living hell.

"Forget it, you guys should eat something first. Su He said softly, motioning for Qin Ke and the others to bring out some dry food, so that these hungry workers could fill their stomachs.

"Are you back?" Linglong found Xiao Lin coming from a distance and said softly, "Did you find anything?"

"There's a point, and it's probably related to where these workers work. Xiao Lin nodded, and once again a sense of unease appeared in his heart, he and Su He had just discovered the matter of black gold, and as a result, a team of workers working in the mine appeared in front of them, which was too weird.

Xiao Lin didn't know if Su He had noticed this, if not, he needed to talk to Su He about this matter, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

The seven or eight workers sat down on the edge of the tent under Qin Ke's beckoning, and as a result, Mu Xuanyi handed over the dry food and devoured it, looking like they had indeed been hungry for a long time.

"I know what you're trying to say. Su He looked at Xiao Lin's expression and said softly, "I have the same opinion, but since the other party has hinted at it like this, let's just go over and take a look." ”

"Well, that's what you said. Xiao Lin shrugged his shoulders and said, "If something really happens, you have to be responsible." He immediately brushed off the blame and was held accountable when the time came.

Su He knocked on Xiao Lin's head angrily, and said angrily, "Got it." ”

After a while, the workers finally filled their stomachs, and under the gaze of Xiao Lin and his party, one of the workers finally stood up and said softly.

"I can't eat you for nothing, I'll take you there, to that mine. ”
