Chapter 1596: Bloody Light Calamity
After Ji Tianxing's reminder, Zheng Rong and Wu Xu all realized that there was a problem in the mine.
The three of them were a little worried, and asked Ji Tianxing if they knew the inside story.
Ji Tianxing didn't say much, just told a few words.
"Since several commanders and the four protectors have issued gag orders, this matter must be of great importance.
Before the investigation is clear, we can't speculate out of thin air, otherwise we will be severely punished by the commander and the four protectors.
Everyone just needs to take strict precautions, and we will talk about this later.
It is imperative that we mine enough spirit stones and gems as soon as possible to complete the tasks set by the above. ”
The three of them all understood what Ji Tianxing meant.
Unknown dangers and disasters do not necessarily come or occur when.
However, if they fail to complete their mission, they will be severely punished by Commander Ding in two days.
This is a real threat.
Soon, Wu Xu, Bai Kaixuan and Zheng Rong devoted themselves to the mining of the ore vein.
They tried their best to appease the miners, and all kinds of coercion and temptation forced everyone to mine the veins.
Of course, they themselves are not idle, and they all use all their resources to join the mining queue.
Even, in order to speed up the speed of mining spirit stones, they did not hesitate to use some secret methods.
For a while, the huge mine cave was busy, and there was a "clanging clanging" sound everywhere.
Ji Tianxing didn't stop, mining spirit stones and gems while observing the situation in the cave.
Whether it was a dark pothole, a deep crevasse, or a clutter of rocks, he had carefully examined them.
In several hidden corners, he found some clues.
There were a few pieces of blood-stained rags, and a few strands of hair.
He used his mind to scrutinize the rags and hairs before coming to a conclusion.
It was a trace left by some of the miners before they died, and there was a very faint aura on it that felt somewhat familiar to him.
There is no doubt that the breath that seems to be there is nothing is the breath of the demon race.
Only if he knows the demons very well, can he sense it.
It would be impossible for anyone in the Divine Mine to identify it.
This discovery made his heart heavy, and his eyes sparkled.
"At present, it seems that most of the miners and overseers who died one after another were killed by the demons.
I really didn't expect that after the Ancestor Demon God gained a foothold in the Shenwu Continent, his power expanded so quickly.
In the past, two blood god sons intercepted me halfway, and now there are demons who are making trouble in the divine mine, wantonly slaughtering miners. ”
In fact, he also understands that the Glacier Divine Mine is very remote, and the underground mine tunnels are very complicated, which is the most suitable for the demons to make trouble here.
Especially those miners, they all have the strength of the Tian Yuan Realm and the Soul Refining Realm.
For the demons and the blood gods, these people are the best tonic that can allow them to quickly increase their strength.
This is a paradise for demons!
However, as the nemesis of the demon race, he came to the Glacier God Mine.
The demons who are secretly causing chaos are about to die!
......
Before you know it, the whole day has passed.
By the end of the night, more than 200 miners were exhausted and listless.
Ji Tianxing ordered the miners to rest for half the night and continue mining early tomorrow morning.
When those miners heard this, their eyes immediately lit up, and their expressions of joy and gratitude appeared.
In the past, they were forced by the overseers to work day and night, without the slightest neglect, or they would be whipped.
They often had to toil for twenty-eight days and nights to get two days of rest.
Ji Tianxing was so benevolent that he immediately won the favor of many miners.
Everyone stopped work one after another, gathered in groups of three or five, huddled in all corners of the mine, and slept with their clothes together.
Zheng Rong, Wu Xu and Bai Kaixuan also came to Ji Tianxing's side one after another, sat with him on the grinding stone and discussed the next plan.
"Ke Lan, although those miners are very hard and look a little pitiful, we can't let them rest!"
"I have already counted just now, and today all of us have mined a total of more than three thousand spirit stones and more than thirty gems.
At this rate, Commander Ding will come to check tomorrow night, and we will definitely not be able to complete the task!"
"Ke Lan, we just came to the mining area, and the first time we supervised the work, we couldn't complete the task.
With that Ding's temperament, he will definitely punish us severely and make an example of the monkeys!"
All three were worried and anxious.
Zheng Rong frowned, and said depressedly: "I was still thinking before, if we can't complete the task, we can just take some spirit stones out of each of us, and hand them in when we have enough."
But Commander Ding wants the raw ore of spirit stones and gemstones, and I don't know if we can pay the finished product?"
As he spoke, he took out two gray Qiankun bags and handed them to Ji Tianxing.
These two bags contain the fruits of everyone's hard work in the day.
Among them, there are more than 3,000 pieces of spirit stone ore and more than 30 pieces of gem ore.
Ji Tianxing didn't bother to count, so he directly accepted the Qiankun bag, and said with a solemn face: "Don't worry, everyone, we'll work harder tomorrow."
If you really can't complete the task, just do what Zheng Rong said, and let Commander Ding be accommodating.
Everyone worked hard tonight, try to cheer up, and pay attention to the movement in the mine at any time. ”
All three nodded in agreement, and then dispersed to the corners of the mine, looking for a hidden place to meditate and breathe.
Ji Tianxing sat in a cluster of rocks, meditating with his eyes closed.
There were jagged boulders all around him and above him, which kept him in such tight a way that he couldn't be seen without looking closely.
It was late at night, and the mine was dimly lit and quiet.
Only the snoring of a few miners, and the muffled whispers of them, flowed through the night sky.
Before I knew it, it was early in the morning.
It's the darkest time before dawn and the sleepiest time of the day.
Wu Xu and Bai Kaixuan secretly monitored the movements of the mine and persisted for most of the night.
Seeing that the dawn was approaching and there was nothing unusual in the mine all night, the three of them relaxed their vigilance.
But at this time, in the southeast corner of the mine, a dark red blood light appeared silently.
The strange blood light came out of a pitch-black crack and spread on the ground like flowing water.
No one noticed the anomaly.
After just a few breaths, the blood light spread to the vicinity of a large stone with a grinding plate.
On the boulder lay three miners in rags, curled up resting, groggy and conscious.
Suddenly, the blood light spread silently, enveloping the three of them.
Wherever the blood was covered, the skin, flesh, and clothes were quickly corroded and cracked, turning into black ash.
The three of them suddenly woke up, their eyes widened in horror, and they opened their mouths to call for help with frightened expressions.
But they were shrouded in blood, unable to make a sound or move at all.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them were drained of their blood and spirits by the blood light, turning into a shriveled and curled charred corpse.
It's like being burned by fire.
