Chapter 17: Coercion Again
Liu Xi responded and walked towards the mine.
Then, he saw Qiu Fei lying on the ground, staring straight at the top of the mine without blinking.
Qiu Fei's situation was like a scared and stupid child, with dull eyes.
"Brother Qiu, how are you?"
Liu Xi tentatively called out to Qiu Fei.
Qiu Fei's sluggish gaze turned slightly, looking at Liu Xi.
After a while, I had a hint of brilliance.
Suddenly, with a "wow", he opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body curled to the ground like a bow shrimp.
He kept coughing, and blood kept spitting out of his mouth.
Liu Xi was startled, and hurriedly shouted at Zhong Mouchun: "Captain, this kid is still alive!" However, the situation is not good......"
Zhong Mouchun walked up to Qiu Fei.
After checking his injuries, he took out a jade bottle from his bosom and poured out a brown pill.
"Give him this blood tonic pill."
Zhong Mouchun handed the pill to Liu Xi, and the other party put it directly into Qiu Fei's mouth.
The pill melts in your mouth.
After a while, Qiu Fei's spirit recovered a little, and the symptoms of coughing up blood were effectively alleviated.
When he had some strength, he struggled to get up and thanked Zhong Mouchun and Liu Xi.
Zhong Mouchun said: "According to the old man in the mining area, the mine where the Soul Devouring Snow Rat appears has a high chance of producing high-quality ore.
This time, you can successfully kill the Soul Devouring Snow Mouse, and your meritorious service is not small, and this mine is handed over to you for digging, which can be regarded as compensation for your meritorious service. ”
Qiu Fei hurriedly thanked him again.
But I can't help but slander in my heart, this compensation is too empty, right? Whether there is high-quality ore in the mine is still a matter of two things!
In the evening of the same day, the news of Zhong Mouchun's killing of the Spirit Devouring Snow Rat quickly spread in the Eighteen Mining Area.
Zhong Mouchun did not hide this matter, and he hung the corpse of the Spirit Devouring Snow Rat on a wooden stake in front of the Eighteen Mining Area in a high-profile manner for people to see.
This behavior really greatly increased his influence in the minds of the disciples in the Eighteen Mining Areas.
Two disciples died inexplicably in the Eighteen Mining Area, and the others were naturally deeply frightened.
Now that the monster has been removed, they naturally rejoice.
The work in the mining area is hard and tiring, but everyone chooses the former rather than their lives are threatened.
After all, earning sect points is the only way to get ahead.
Qiu Fei's injury was not mentioned, and no one cared.
However, Liu Xi asked Qiu Fei, "Do you know what Ji Qingyu went to Cave 35 to do?" ”
Only then did Qiu Fei know that the person who was bitten to death by the Spirit Devouring Snow Rat was called Ji Qingyu, an outer disciple who had joined the sect for ten years, and the Hidden Yuan Realm was sevenfold.
Such a powerful strength is not the combined power of the Spirit Devouring Snow Mouse, how lucky Qiu Fei should be to be able to escape from death.
Qiu Fei naturally shook his head and said that he didn't know.
Liu Xi didn't ask much, and instructed him, "Once the mine cave and the cave house belong to whom, it will belong to this person's private property."
If someone else is not invited, it is an illegal invasion, and you will kill it, and no one else will have anything to say. ”
Qiu Fei was silent, but he was guessing the intention of the other party's remarks in his heart.
In the following days, Qiu Fei cultivated while healing.
If an outer disciple wants to cultivate a higher level of internal strength and martial arts, he must first pass the assessment of the elders of the Chuan Gong Hall.
During this period of recuperation, Qiu Fei has been practicing the basic mental method "Pranayama Method" and the basic boxing method "Fuhu Fist" to prepare for future assessments.
After the treatment of "Blood Replenishing Pill", in four days, Qiu Fei's injuries have basically healed, although there is still some pain in his chest, but it is no longer in the way.
On this day, he walked out of the cave and followed everyone to the mining area.
In a few days, it will be the end of the month, and it is also the deadline for the outer disciples of the mining area to hand in the ore.
Although there are a lot of ores in Qiu Fei's storage bag, if he hands them over rashly, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
So, he had to go to the mine.
Even if it is necessary to make a show, it is reasonable to take out a certain amount of ore at that time.
Another point is that the disappearance of the surnamed Geng has begun to spread among the disciples in the eighteen mining areas, and there are all kinds of theories.
Some said that he left the sect to go through the training, and some said that he couldn't endure the hardships of the mining area and escaped.
The most widely spread is that he is very likely to have been killed, as for whether it was done by humans or monsters, there are rumors and different theories.
All of this is always reminding Qiu Fei that he must be cautious and careful in everything he does.
After Qiu Fei entered the No. 35 mine, he immediately heard the sound of mining coming from the mine.
This is their own mine, who would dare to come here and dig it secretly?
Qiu Fei followed the sound of mining and walked towards the cave.
At the end of the mine, I saw a man wielding a mine hoe and struggling to dig the mine.
On both sides of the mine behind him, a large pile of excavated waste slag was piled up haphazardly.
The fact that there is so much waste slag proves that the other party has been digging here for more than a day.
Qiu Fei understood that this person must have listened to the nonsense that "the mine where the Spirit Devouring Snow Rat appeared must have high-quality ore".
Taking advantage of Qiu Fei's recuperation in the cave, he sneaked here to try his luck.
"Who are you?"
Qiu Fei walked over and unceremoniously yelled at the other party's back: "Who allowed you to mine in my mine?" ”
Hearing the sound, the other party turned around.
This is a strong man in his thirties, the sixth level of the Hidden Yuan Realm, when he saw Qiu Fei coming, instead of panicking, he looked at Qiu Fei calmly.
"It's not in vain that I waited for you for four days."
The corner of the strong man's mouth suddenly showed a mysterious smile, "Your kid's injury is finally healed, and he is willing to get out of that kennel?" ”
"What do you mean?"
Qiu Fei didn't know why he looked at each other.
"Bring it."
The strong man said something inexplicable and stretched out his right hand to Qiu Fei.
Hearing this, Qiu Fei's heart jumped and he realized something.
But he pretended not to know why, and looked puzzled, "Senior brother, what do you want me to take?" ”
"Geng Changfei."
The strong man faintly spit out a person's name from his mouth, and then, his gaze fixed on Qiu Fei, observing his subtle demeanor.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
When the other party heard this name, he was at a loss.
Qiu Fei looked at the strong man in confusion, "This senior brother, what are you talking about?" What Geng Changfei? Why can't I understand? ”
The strong man's expression froze, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes.
He stared at Qiu Fei, almost word for word, "You killed him." and if he knows him, he will hand over his storage bag. ”
Qiu Fei sneered, "This senior brother, if you want to mine in Cave 35, just ask me directly."
You are a senior brother, I respect you, and I will never say anything about letting you out of the mine.
It's just that I'm an insignificant new disciple, and I have no intersection with my senior brother before, and I have no grudges, so why do you want to frame me with such a vicious crime? ”
Qiu Fei's questioning made the strong man speechless.
The strong man's name is Ji Hongyu, and he has been joining Gu Xuanmen for ten years.
He has been assigned to the mining workshop for so many years, although he has always cultivated, most of the time he is on the road to complete the tasks in the mining area.
His realm was stuck in the sixth level of the Hidden Yuan Realm, and he hadn't improved for many years.
There are too many disciples in such a situation.
The vast majority of people have resigned themselves to their fate, working at sunrise and sleeping at sunset in the mining area, living a dull and dry life.
However, there are also some people who do not accept their fate and want to change.
Ji Hongyu, Bao Laosan, and Geng Changfei are this kind of people, and if they want to improve their realm, they must obtain more cultivation resources.
The sect's monthly cases are pitiful, and they can't support their cultivation at all, so defrauding newcomers is a way to make a lot of money.
Over the years, which new disciple has not been more or less exploited by the old disciples?
The strength of the new disciples is generally weak, and they don't know people, and those who are interested in learning will obediently hand over the corresponding belongings and resources.
And some new disciples who don't follow and fight up will be beaten half to death by these old disciples and become seriously injured.
If Qiu Fei didn't have the special function of his eyes, he would have been successfully deceived by Bao Yonggang on the first day he arrived at the mining area.
And the purpose of Geng Changfei's run to the No. 35 mine, Ji Hongyu should have known.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Geng Changfei would suddenly disappear.
Ji Hongyu came to the No. 35 mine this time, first, to verify the authenticity of the rumor that "the mine where the soul devouring snow mouse has appeared, there must be high-quality ore".
Another point, he is waiting for Qiu Fei.
He suspected that Geng Changfei's disappearance had something to do with Qiu Fei.
In his reasoning, Geng Changfei should have died in this mine, and the murderer should be the spirit-devouring snow mouse.
He didn't believe that with Qiu Fei's strength, he could kill Geng Changfei, Qiu Fei was only the third level of the Hidden Yuan Realm, and Geng Changfei's realm was as high as the sixth level of the Hidden Yuan Realm.
The difference in strength between these three small realms is difficult for ordinary cultivators to make up.
In Ji Hongyu's reasoning, after Geng Changfei was killed by the Spirit Devouring Snow Rat, his body was buried by Qiu Fei, and he embezzled all of Geng Changfei's wealth and resources.
Ji Hongyu knew that after so many years, Geng Changfei had obtained many cultivation resources from his new disciples by means of coercion and intimidation.
These resources have always been stored in his storage bag, and his death will naturally be cheaper for Qiu Fei.
It's a pity that in the past four days, he turned the mine upside down, and he didn't find Geng Changfei's body.
Otherwise, as soon as he saw Qiu Fei, he could directly use this to blackmail Qiu Fei.
He tried to mine in the cave to see if there was any high-quality ore, but he found nothing, until Qiu Fei came.
As soon as he came up, he used his verbal momentum to force Qiu Fei.
The reason why he did this was just to take the lead, suppress Qiu Fei in momentum, and force the other party to comply.
The ultimate goal is to make the other party obediently hand over money and resources.
But Qiu Fei's performance was too calm.
He was clear-headed, quick-witted, and in the face of his own persecution, he responded rationally and calmly, and did not fall into his verbal trap at all.
Is this a teenager who is only sixteen years old?
It's so wicked!
At this time, Ji Hongyu was a little angry, the dignified master of the seventh level of the Hidden Yuan Realm could not even put a new disciple who only had the three layers of the Hidden Yuan Realm!
Said that he would go out, and he would not be laughed at without being laughed at?
He decided to use the strong.
"Senior brother, I want to check!"
Ji Hongyu showed his senior brother's name, "Take out the storage bag, I suspect that Geng Changfei's disappearance is related to you, and his belongings have been looted by you!" ”
With that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Qiu Fei's waist.
