Chapter 70: The Three Princes
The night in Iron Mountain Town was particularly dark, and the air was filled with a thick fog, and there was no starlight or moonlight to be seen. All the way west to the mine area. The entire mine is several times larger than Iron Mountain Town, and its coverage is active and wide.
On the flat land 100 meters away from the mine, many houses were built for the miners to live temporarily. Ling Zixuan and Chenxi bypassed the residential area and came directly to the interior of the mining area.
The whole mine has been excavated many mines, large and small mines continue to shuttle through the mountains, because the deposits are buried deep underground, so to go down the mine you have to take a special mine truck or giant gondola down.
However, Ling Zixuan found that his spiritual power imprint was not under the mine, but at the back of the mine. So he took the dust around the mining area and came to the mountains behind the mine, where he found a very hidden hole.
Ling Zixuan opened his divine sense and found that the spiritual power imprint had entered the depths of the cave, and he entered the cave with Dust without hesitation.
There is a passage in the cave that is wide and high for two people, which is obviously dug during the previous exploration. After entering through this passage, I felt that I had been walking down, and after walking less than a cup of tea, the passage suddenly widened, and I came to a place like a large hall.
There are also lights and candles on both sides of the hall, and through the lights, you can see that there are two extended passages in front of you, leading to the interior. Ling Zixuan walked into the passage on the left without hesitation, and after walking less than a cup of tea, the two came to a sinking basin.
Ling Zixuan looked up and saw that the basin was surrounded by arc-shaped mountain walls, and there were many potholes on the mountain walls, and these potholes went deep into the interior of the mine, and he didn't know where they had penetrated.
While he was still feeling the imprint of his spiritual power, more than a dozen black-clothed people came out of the cave on the mountain wall one after another.
"It's quite a big thing, and you actually chased it here, it seems that you also followed those three people?" A man in black spoke. "Since you two want to die so much, then it will be done for you, brothers, and kill them." After hearing his words, more than a dozen people on the mountain wall flew down at the same time, rushing towards Ling Zixuan and Chenxi.
How could Ling Zixuan be successfully attacked by them, he didn't even bother to make a move, and the dust directly started with a thought, and an ordinary ice system magic circle was directly formed, sweeping in the dozen or so black-clothed people who rushed down.
These black-clothed people are basically in the innate realm, and the worst two even only have the strength of the peak of strength, and for those official guards, they can really be regarded as unrivaled masters.
But for Dusty, there was no threat. After more than a dozen black-clothed people entered the magic circle, they only felt dizzy, and their true qi was frozen by the cold air rushing to their faces, and they couldn't call it at all. The body began to gradually stiffen, slowly turning into a dozen ice sculptures.
The man in black led by the leader was stunned when he saw that his subordinates had all been turned into ice sculptures in an instant, and even lost the consciousness of escaping. Ling Zixuan quietly came behind him, and asked with his spiritual power, "Where are the three people you just mentioned?" ”
The man in black directly heard a roar in his head, and said in a blurred voice: "They were taken to the master." ”
Ling Zixuan sensed his two spiritual power imprints, found that he had disappeared into the depths of the mine, and guessed that the master that the man in black said should be in the depths of the mine, so he took the dust and picked a cave and drilled into it. Soon after they left, the man in black fell directly to the ground, bleeding to death.
After Ling Zixuan and the two walked for a while, they saw a horizontal passage, diagonally leading deeper into the ground, and there was a faint light coming from it. He walked slowly into the passage with the dust.
After walking less than a cup of tea, an iron door appeared in front of the passage, and the iron door was closed, but you could hear the sound of talking coming from behind the iron door, and even the cries of children.
It seems that they should have found the right place, and the missing children in Tieshan County should have been locked up here. However, they did not smash open the iron door, for fear that if the people inside found out, they might kill the children. Therefore, Ling Zixuan opened a gap in the iron door, which allowed his divine sense to enter the interior to observe the situation.
Looking inside along the iron gate, there is a cave inside, like a complete underground base, behind the iron gate is a stone road leading to the interior, on both sides of this passage there are many houses, at the end of the passage is a building similar to the main hall. And the child's voice came from the great hall.
Ling Zixuan and Chenxi walked through the iron gate and walked directly into the main hall, and the two were stunned by the scene in front of them.
There was a huge pool of blood in the center of the main hall, and there were many corpses floating in the pool, most of them children's corpses, and some adult corpses.
There were also more than a dozen black-clothed people at the scene who opened the iron cage next to the blood pool and threw the crying children into the blood pool. Sitting above the pool of blood was a shirtless red-haired old man, and standing in front of him was the young man he had met at the inn and his two attendants. It's just that these three people are now surrounded by several men in black.
"The third prince, I didn't expect you to come here in person, our family didn't come to greet you in person, and I hope that the third prince will atone for his sins! Giggles! A high-pitched, piercing sound came from the mouth of the shirtless red-haired old man.
"The Third Prince?" No wonder Ling Zixuan felt that this young man was a little familiar from the beginning, it seemed that he was the third son of the current emperor, that is, the elder brother of his eldest apprentice, the ninth princess.
Seeing such a bloody scene, the anger in his heart could not be expressed in words, and without waiting for Ling Zixuan to speak, he directly flew towards the few black-clothed people who were still throwing children into the blood pool, and in the shortest possible time, he wrapped the children who had not yet been thrown into the blood pool in the formation and sent them directly to his side.
At this time, the red-haired old man and the black-clothed people around him noticed the arrival of Ling Zixuan and Chenxi.
"You're here too?" The third prince was a little surprised, he originally thought that Ling Zixuan was self-contained, not as hot-blooded as Chenxi, and would not care about the affairs of Tieshan Town. So after listening to the guard's report, he directly took the two of them to the mine to look for it, but unfortunately they were still discovered on the way and were quickly captured. If the red-haired old man hadn't known his identity and didn't dare to kill him, the three would have been killed a long time ago.
Ling Zixuan stared at the red-haired old man and didn't speak, but nodded and agreed, "You are the third prince?" ”
The third prince's impression of Dusty is still good, after all, Dusty's performance before made him feel that she was an innocent girl with a strong sense of justice. In addition, I saw that she was able to save the few children who fell into the pool of blood with a single thought, and I appreciated the dust even more.
"Then you are my senior sister's brother, and I will also call you brother!" Dusty smiled innocently.
The third prince was stunned, senior sister, brother? This.. What's going on?
