The topography of the southeast mining area is dominated by low mountain plains, and under almost every raised hill is a mine cave that is being developed or has already been developed.

Tonight, the moon is sparse, and the entire mining area looks particularly deep in the hazy moonlight.

Unlike other fertile mines, this one does not work at night, as if to survive the end of its depleted life a little later.

Only a few of the mines had personnel on duty and lighted soul lights, and most of the rest were pitch black.

Among the many low hills, there is a hill that is significantly higher and more extensive than the other mines. It's late at night, but the surface of the ground is a faint silvery white in the moonlight.

Beneath this hill is the largest silver mine in the southeast mining area, the white jade silver mine.

Originally, it was just an ordinary silver mine, but just a few days ago, the news that a miner had dug up Mithril spread from it, but most people laughed when they heard it.

At this moment, more than 100 meters in the air above the white jade silver mine, several figures were suspended in the air.

In the middle of everyone is an old man with a somewhat rickety figure, not only dressed plainly, but also weak and looks like an ordinary old man with staggering steps.

But the others did not dare to snub him at all, and all of them took him as the head and respectfully waited for him to speak.

This old man was one of Xu Tianran's loyal supporters, Shadow Douluo Xuechen.

There weren't many other subordinates who listened to him, but each of them had at least a Soul Saint Soul Douluo cultivation. However, the quality of their soul power is obviously not as good as Xuechen, and they should all be soul masters.

It's midnight now, and a few of them will appear here, naturally on the orders of the crown prince Xu Tianran.

Whoosh –

A cold wind blew from nowhere, and several people in mid-air naturally felt it very clearly.

"Huh?"

Xuechen, who was originally closing his eyes and recuperating, raised his eyelids, and let out a slightly puzzled murmur from his mouth.

"The wind blows in this mining area."

This wind is only a little cooler, and there is nothing strange about it, but for some reason, the premonition of a strong man in Xuechen's heart for many years told him that there was something wrong with this wind.

But what could be the problem?

Xue Chen frowned slightly, and carefully sensed the surroundings, there were no other creatures in the air in this mining area except for a few of them.

He said lightly: "It's just autumn, and the weather is cold." ”

A seventh-level soul master next to him nodded and said, "Xue Lao, there are no tall buildings in the mining area, and there is very little vegetation, so it is naturally earlier than in other places to enter autumn. ”

Seeing that someone was puzzled, Xuechen bowed slightly, dispelling the doubts in his heart.

"I see."

He is not a soul master, and his knowledge of metals is not as good as that of these soul masters.

Xue Chen was interested in chatting, so he casually talked with several other soul masters.

"Xue doesn't know much about soul guides, I only know that this mythril is extremely precious, but I don't know how precious it is, so I would like to ask you for advice."

Another rank 8 soul master hurriedly replied, "Xue Lao, do you know that the rare metal of Mithril has always been strictly controlled, just because when it is added to the soul guide, it can greatly enhance the power of the soul guide. ”

"If there really is a Mithril Mine here, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have it in his hands no matter what the price pays."

Xue Chen nodded thoughtfully: "Before coming, His Highness solemnly instructed Xue Mou, and also mentioned that this was a great help for him to be able to fight against that Extreme Douluo with the title of Northland." It's just that Shu Xue is stupid, I don't know what kind of soul guide His Highness plans to make with these Mithril, could it be a ninth-level customized soul guide cannonball? ”

"But as far as I know, in the army controlled by His Highness, nearly ten ninth-level fixed-fit soul guide shells have been mobilized, how many shells does Your Highness need to be sure of victory?"

The eighth-level soul master shook his head when he heard this, and first corrected one of Xue Lao's mistakes: "Xue Lao, you are wrong, the power controlled by His Highness that can resist Extreme Douluo is not only the ninth-level Soul Guide Projectile. ”

"Do you know what is the most powerful advantage of the soul master over the soul master? It is because the soul master can combine attack and defense power through linkage, and exert hundreds or thousands of times more power than an individual. ”

"A Beast King-level Soul Master Group, under the command of a ninth-level Soul Master, linked their respective forces, and I think it is enough to compete with that Northern Earth Douluo. If you can really use enough Mithril to equip a soul master group with the most advanced soul guides, plus others, even the Extreme Douluo powerhouse will never be the opponent of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

His expression was a little boastful, and he looked confident in defeating an Extreme Douluo.

"Oh?" Xuechen's voice was a bit of a surprise.

Another seventh-level soul master continued: "This principle is also the basis of the high-energy compression array soul guide, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can control those high-energy compression array soul guides in Mingdu, he can easily kill Beidi Douluo, why bother to be so strategic?" ”

The other sighed and said, "It's a pity that the high-energy compression array soul guide is firmly in the hands of the worship hall and Kong Lao, and he has already announced that he will not interfere in the battle for the throne." ”

Another person said: "Hehe, this time we have built a concentrating soul guide similar to a high-energy compression array soul guide in advance under the ground next to the Temple of Heaven, and we can also achieve a similar effect." With these Mithril, it's a godsend. ”

The seventh-level soul master said worriedly, "But, is there really a Mithril here?" I haven't found it in the past few decades, and in my opinion, this news is probably not very much, and the people of the Ordinary Alliance didn't think it was right after hearing it. ”

Xuechen said lightly: "I'd rather believe it than believe it." Wait for the people to come back, and your Highness's orders will be done truthfully. ”

Several people fell silent for a short time.

The wind in mid-air, the temperature seemed to be a little cooler.

Xuechen's brows furrowed more and more, but he never found out where the weirdness was, and there was even a voice in his heart that kept reminding him that everything was normal.

The eighth-level soul master suddenly said in a cold voice: "Speaking of which, I also came to the southeast mining area today and found out that it turned out that a group of Xingluo people lived here, and the news of Mithril let them know, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." ”

Xuechen's tone suddenly became cold: "Huh? Are you trying to kill someone? ”

The eighth-level soul master only felt that the pressure on Xue Chen's body suddenly doubled, and hurriedly said respectfully: "I am also worried about His Royal Highness the Prince, how can such an important news be known by a group of people from the enemy country?" ”

"And that Xu Sheng and the Northern Earth Alliance have an affair with the Star Luo Heavenly Soul behind their backs, and their subordinates suggest that they should clean up the portal as soon as possible."

Xue Chen snorted coldly and said, "It's just a group of grass people, it's easy to kill." But do you know that this is an injustice for His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do is to keep them in Mingdu to constantly have friction with the people of Sun and Moon, and arouse the anger of the people of Sun and Moon. First, to build momentum for the upcoming ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, and second, to build momentum for the future to the three kingdoms of Douluo. ”

"Destroying His Highness's plan, do you think this is still worrying about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Cold sweat broke out on the face of the eighth-level soul master, and then he hurriedly said: "Thank you Xue Lao for your advice, Your Highness is really far-sighted." ”

As soon as the sweat came out, it was dried by the cold wind in mid-air, but he didn't know it.

Xue Lao nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness will definitely become a generation of Ming Jun in the future, and you must not do anything unjust." These unkind and unrighteous things are still up to us subordinates to consider more. ”

"Yes."

Several soul masters nodded in unison.

At this moment, a pale white light suddenly rose from the mine below, drawing a straight line in the air, and came between Xue Chen and the others.

"Xue Lao, I'm back!" It was also an eighth-level soul master, and his tone trembled a little, which was caused by being too excited.

Xuechen asked calmly, "Did you find the thing?" ”

"Found it, there is indeed Mithril, the news is true!"

He didn't hide the excitement in his tone at all, and he didn't lower his voice, anyway, he didn't have to worry about outsiders hearing in the air of more than 100 meters.

A silvery-gray piece of ore was held in his hand.

"I dug a full three hundred meters into the ground of the white jade silver mine, and I really found an ore containing mythril, and the content is very high!"

He spoke quickly, and every word, every word, told the excitement in his heart.

Xuechen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Well done, you have done a great job, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely have a heavy reward after you go back!" ”

He wasn't the only one who was excited, and it was quickly spread to the others, staring at the Mithril ore that was the size of two palms.

Another eighth-level soul master laughed loudly, "Quickly show me." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the ore. In the face of the precious Mithril, their group of high-level soul masters also snatched it like children.

Xue Chen squinted at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "What's the hurry?" Go back and report to Your Highness first, and then you will have the opportunity to touch Mithril. ”

The task was successfully completed, and his mood was happy.

"All the obstacles that hinder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be swept away, and the extermination of Beidi Douluo will be the beginning of His Royal Highness the Prince's ascension to the throne of the Sun and Moon and the unification of the entire continent!"

"Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

After Xuechen, the other soul masters also shouted, "Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”

Successfully killing an Extreme Douluo powerhouse would undoubtedly bring unprecedented morale to the Sun Moon Empire's main battle faction.

The eighth-level soul master smiled slightly, but suddenly trembled.

An inexplicable chill suddenly exploded from a certain point on the skin, piercing the flesh and pointing straight at the soul.

Cold, so cold...... All the touches disappeared in an instant, and only the chill reached the extreme.

There was no hint of aggression in this chill, only a strong impact on the senses.

The smile on Xue Chen's face disappeared immediately, and the old man's eyes widened slightly, staring at everything in front of him in disbelief.

I saw that in the air they were in, countless fine silver dust was slowly falling from the sky along with the cold wind.

The silver-white snowflakes drift back and forth, like dancers jumping in the far north, turning the air more than 100 meters into a world of ice and snow.

"Snow?"

"How can there be snow now?"

Everyone showed surprised expressions, and then turned on their respective defensive soul guides and shields one after another.

"There's an enemy attack!"

It is impossible to have snow in the current climate, and their first reaction is the same.

However, the shock in Xue Chen's eyes still didn't stop there, he released a rich soul power to resist the cold, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to catch the countless "snowflakes" falling from the air, and said in a deep voice: "You are still a group of soul masters, can't you see that this is not snow?" ”

Not snow? What is that?

At the beginning, the eighth-level soul master was stunned for a moment, and he also reached out to catch a few falling "snowflakes", used his soul power to relieve the cold, and put it in front of him to look at it suspiciously.

"This is silver?!"

As a soul master, he quickly recognized what these tiny silver dusts were.

Each so-called "snowflake" is not real snow, but a debris of silver, and the appearance and chill are no different from real snowflakes.

Who can forge silver into this form?

He instantly understood why Xue Chen was surprised in his heart.

Although silver is an extremely soft metal that is easy to forge and inscribe, how do you turn it into such tiny crumbs like snow?

He asked himself, he, an eighth-level soul master, really couldn't think of a suitable method for a while without preparation.

Xuechen's expression was already extremely solemn, and he knew that his premonition was not groundless. With such a terrifying chill, he was afraid that he would be able to guess what the identity of the other party was.

But when and where did he find himself?

Just when Xuechen and the others were vigilant because of the sudden silver snow, an extremely unfamiliar cold voice sounded in the ears of several people at the same time.

"The cold wind is like a knife, using the earth as a chopping board, and treating all beings as fish and meat."

The unfamiliar voice was not alleviated by the cold wind, and it was completely imprinted in everyone's mind.

This sentence is accompanied by an image in the form of coordinates.

Everyone looked up in a daze, and a lonely figure hung in the air more than 100 meters higher than them.

Xuechen's complexion became more solemn. He didn't detect any signs of anyone approaching at all, which meant that the opponent's strength was likely to be above him.

With such a terrifying chill, could it be that he is Beidi Douluo?

Xuechen looked at it intently.

It was like the figure of a young man, who was stepping on a long straight board with his feet on it, his right hand clenched into a fist, palm facing upwards and stretched forward.

His right hand clenched into a fist seemed to be grasping something, slowly rubbing, and crumb-shaped silver continued to fall from between his fingers, and then fell down with the cold wind, falling on Xuechen and the others.

And above his left shoulder, there seems to be a strangely shaped plant.

Xuechen's eyes widened and he muttered, "You...... Are you Huo Yuhao? ”

He recognized the other party's identity at first sight.

Huo Yuhao's image left a deep impression on people at the Soul Master Competition, and the strangely shaped flyboard simply became his trademark.

Xue Chen already understood how those snowflake-like silver flakes were made, and through the rubbing of his palm, he could crush a whole piece of silver into countless crumbs, and behind this seemingly simple action, what was needed was terrifying power and control!

Silver is a soft metal, and a strong man can easily crush silver into a silver cake, but he must not crush it into slag.

This simple action made Xue Chen's heart rise with an inexplicable panic.

Huo Yuhao's indifferent voice sounded in everyone's minds again.

"Thousands of miles of snow will make the sky a furnace, and melt all things into silver."

After saying a word, his right hand slowly opened, and all the silver in his hand had turned into silver dust and flew down.

"Dare to ask if it's Huo Yuhao? I wonder if the North Earth is here? Xue has admired the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today. ”

Xue Chen greeted the air coldly. He gestured to the others around him.

The others all put on a battle stance, ready to fight to the death against the formidable enemy.

Just now, they were discussing with great interest how to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to destroy Beidi Douluo, and now they learned that the deity was around, which was really terrifying.

There was only one indifferent answer in the sky.

"Those who are about to die, there is no need to say much."

The cold words contain infinite murderous intent, and there is no room for maneuver negotiation.

Xue Chen's face changed greatly, and he immediately ordered: "Do it!" ”

He knew that he wouldn't be that Northern Douluo's opponent, but with so many people as cover, there was still a great possibility of escaping. As long as they escape into the Ming metropolitan area, they will be safe.

However, in the next second, everyone's hearts were eroded by a deeper chill.

Originally, they had an abundance of incomparable soul power, but in that snowflake-like group of silver, they were corroded by an unknown force, and they couldn't release any soul skills. Even those soul guides that had been touched by the silver dust lost their effectiveness in an instant.

Next to the grains of silver, snowflakes suddenly appeared, each of which was a neat and delicate octagonal shape.

The flying white snowflakes must be a colorful sight on a normal day, but now they are a nightmare drawing.

Xuechen straightened her back in horror, trying to see the figure in the sky.

Behind Huo Yuhao, three blood-red soul rings flashed. The first two soul rings were covered with brilliant gold patterns, but it was the third one that was beating at the moment.

The octagonal leaves hovering on his left shoulder shimmered with a faint icy blue glow.

Huo Yuhao looked down, his outstretched right hand shook it again, and said word by word: "Ice Sky Hundred Flowers Burial." ”
