The group of corrections in Shangbang Prison held a pile of black bread, and easily exchanged it for a large bag of [Turbid Battle Intent Spiritual Power Crystal].

It's a no-brainer.

Ji Xun watched silently from the side, his eyes were hot and he was also pondering another question in his heart, that is, with these crystal nuclei, how many top masters did the Orlan remnants have to make?

Just sensing the strong battle intent overflowing from the crystal nucleus, he realized that if this thing was given to a fourth- or fifth-order card master, there was a high probability that he would be able to comprehend his "meaning".

That's really a first-class master.

And the remnants of Orlan have probably been mining here for many years, and who knows how many masters have been secretly cultivated with these crystal nuclei?

What's more, the hidden treasures they have in their hands must not be limited to this Shangbang prison.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun sighed in his heart that he really underestimated those people.

I thought that the remnants of Orlan, who had been hiding for more than 200 years, should be exhausted, and a Lionheart family was on the list.

Now when I look at these "pits" that are unknown to the outside world, I immediately get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of their strength, as well as the ambition hidden in the invisible place of the world.

The heritage of the Augustan royal family has really reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Really!

No matter where it is, the "information gap" is an important factor in widening the gap between strength and wealth.

In the Old World, which is full of treasures, those Orlan remnants have a lot of information that others don't know, and they have secretly obtained unimaginable benefits.

Ji Xun discovered the secret of Shangbang Prison, although he knew that there was "entry and no exit" here, but he was not in a hurry to get out.

I've been secretly observing when I first came in, and it seems that the only way to get out is through the enchantment passage that I came into.

And those prison corrections must have some enchantment keys on them.

Now to get out, the only option is to forcibly kill a few people.

But Ji Xun didn't do that.

This prison has been around for so long, the inmates must have thought of this method.

And tried.

But no one has escaped yet.

In other words, it doesn't work.

Don't say you can kill it.

Even if you kill it, you have to face countless masters in the prison outside when you rush out.

And perhaps there are other hidden dangers.

Instead, stay here for a few more days, and it's never too late to do it after observing and understanding.

Anyway, looking at this posture, the prison guards will come every few days to exchange food for crystals, and there are many opportunities.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun looked at it calmly.

I thought the miners here were all distorted humans.

But after all these strange-shaped creatures had exchanged for food, some figures came out of the black mines.

At this glance, although their faces were scorched, with dark circles under their eyes, they looked like they hadn't woken up and had not eaten enough, and their mental state was very bad.

But the good thing is that they are almost normal human beings in appearance.

Ji Xun looked at the costumes of these people, all kinds of occupations.

Hunters, commoners, nobles. There were even a couple of guys who wore porter outfits like him.

These people are like miners who are afraid of the previous distortions.

Wait for them to be redeemed before they come out.

And obviously, these people dig a lot less crystal nuclei.

It takes three or two people to collect and exchange for a piece of brown bread.

Some people even have empty hands, just staring at the food in those boxes and swallowing their saliva.

Seeing this, Ji Xun had already guessed the fact that this phenomenon pointed: "The higher the degree of distortion of the miner, the more crystal nuclei can be mined?"

No wonder prisoners are used for mining.

These miners are waiting in the mine for a long time, and they are almost certain to die.

Several of Ji Xun's "colleagues" were already trembling at this scene.

It seems that he has guessed his end, but he does not dare to admit it.

They didn't dare to open their mouths at the moment, so they stood by in a daze, hoping that they would just come in to help deliver supplies.

Ji Xun glanced at the "hooked nose" again.

This guy should know he's exposed by now, right?

Eighty percent of these porters were brought in because of this guy.

Others are not like Ji Xun, who can be safe and sound in this kind of mine full of negative spiritual power. If you really want to be locked up, it's better to fight than to pollute and go crazy.

Ji Xun felt that if it was that person's situation, he would definitely gamble.

Predictable!

After the hooked nose saw the environment of the mine clearly, it suddenly exploded.

As soon as he turned his hand, a black dagger appeared in his hand.

While everyone was focused on the bread, he ghostly appeared next to the nearest gun-wielding guard.

This guy is also very smart, and he knows that he is not sure about the man in the leading suit, so he chooses a weaker one.

Although Ji Xun found out in advance, even he didn't have time to stop it, and said in his heart: "It's good, are you a spy cultivated by a big force?"

There is a second-order strength, but this body method and martial arts are not ordinary hunters at first glance.

Rather, trained professional assassins.

The blow seemed to be a sure kill.

When Ji Xun was thinking about seeing if this guy could escape as he wished, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura rolled out from the corridor behind him.

That aura was very strange, obviously a killing intent, but it made people feel as if they had "seen" endless blood gushing in.

"What the hell!"

The killing intent pierced his heart like a needle, and even Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly.

He had never felt such manic and eerie aura.

The figure came so fast that it slammed into the discipline with a punch the moment the hook-nosed dagger cut through the discipline.

"This is so fast!"

Ji Xun looked at this speed, and his heart was also amazed.

However, an even more shocking scene appeared.

After all, he was a professional assassin, and the hooked nose watched the enemy attack, and with his super agility, he retreated a foot, just avoiding the punch.

However, this punch obviously didn't hit, but this guy's expression suddenly froze on his face.

"Fist Wave!"

Ji Xun saw the ripples lingering on the fist, and immediately understood what was going on.

This is the long-range ability to hurt the enemy cultivated by a martial artist, which is similar to the "fist wave" of a swordsman's "sword qi".

If you can master this skill, you can be considered a master among martial artists.

Even if Ji Xun is now, he can barely be regarded as a beginner.

But before his thoughts could flow, there was a "bang", and the hooked nose that was obviously not hit, and his body burst like a balloon filled with blood.

Blood and pieces of body tissue crumbled all over the sky.

Ji Xun was not too far away, and he was also covered in blood.

"What's the situation!"

Ji Xun's expression was as shocked as others.

He didn't understand the punch just now?

After looking at it again, Ji Xun saw clearly that the perpetrator was actually a deformed human with arms like bamboo poles!

Normal people have only the upper arm and lower arm bones. And this guy has a third bone in the middle, like a gibbon, and when standing, the palm of the hand can easily touch the ground.

It's such an aberrant monster who killed a second-order assassin with one punch?

Ji Xun really couldn't understand it.

It wasn't difficult for him to kill the hooked nose just now, but he couldn't break people to pieces with his fists.

After the guy with the arm like a bamboo pole killed someone, he shouted and laughed like a madman, and disappeared in the mine like a ghost: "Hahaha, I understand, I understand"

Come and go fast.

Ghostly.

Odd in the head.

“？？？”

Ji Xun stared carefully at the unpredictable aura on this guy's body, full of doubts.

Suddenly, a possibility appeared in his heart that he didn't dare to believe: "Could it be fist intent?" ”

He had seen a master who had comprehended the intent of his fist.

Just a few days ago in Lion City, Caterina and her father, "Golden Lion" Carlo, punched the mountain, and that's how it felt.

But that's a sixth-order!

A distorted and crazy miner who appeared casually right now, estimating the second, third, and fourth order?

It turned out to be a martial arts master who comprehended the intent of the fist?

Thinking about it again, the monster can detect the assassination of the hooked nose for the first time, isn't this the legendary "killing intent perception"?

It is said that some masters can wake up immediately when they are looking at them with a malicious gaze while they are sleeping.

These are some of the manifestations of "meaning" in actual combat.

"The problem with this mine?"

Ji Xun thought of this possibility while wiping the still warm flesh and blood on his face.

If it can be deformed like this, it means that the miner has been living here for a long time.

Being continuously mentally polluted by the environment, it is reasonable to realize some meanings.

At this moment, Ji Xun also understood why those who had not yet been distorted did not dare to come out to exchange for food as soon as possible, but had to wait for those monsters to receive it.

It's not that the monster form is scary, but it's purely because it can't be beaten.

The miner is not the only one who is distorted.

It's a group!

These guys looked at the flesh and blood all over the ground, tilted their heads one by one, and sobbed like crazy.

It's extremely frightening to watch.

"But why do these deviants help the prison guards?"

Ji Xun was also glad that he didn't act rashly just now.

He thought about it for a moment, and guessed that it might have something to do with food.

Humans, who are deformed, are basically equated with monsters, and their actions are mostly instinctive.

Ji Xun worked as an animal trainer in the circus, and he knew that even the most ferocious beasts would be tamed in front of food.

The hook nose was killed, and the man in the suit sneered, and glanced at the miners who were still receiving food, as if it was also a warning.

Mine well, or this will be the end.

After a short time, the exchange of materials ended.

The man who got the bread munched on it and disappeared into the mine in a hurry, fearing that someone would steal his food.

The man in the suit and a few guards with guns packed up everything, turned around and walked into the shady barrier.

Several of Ji Xun's porter "colleagues" also scrambled to follow him out of this ghost place.

However, they were disappointed.

The men in the suit walked smoothly into the passage.

But when they passed, the passage was like a mirage, and they couldn't be seen and touched.

A few people could only watch as those people walked farther and farther away.

"Ah, sir, we haven't come in yet."

"Sir, wait for us!"

“.”

Several porters panicked instantly, but no matter how much they shouted, there was no response.

Ji Xun was not surprised at all.

In the blink of an eye, he looked at the pair of tigerish eyes.

Several of them are "newcomers", and everyone knows that they may have supplies on them.

And so it is.

Because Ji Xun often went to the Old World, he had considered various unexpected situations, such as being trapped in a certain ruin.

So there is always food to eat and drink in the storage ring for several years.

But I didn't plan to give it to anyone else!

As soon as a few of the discipline guards left, a burly man and more than a dozen miners in a group surrounded him: "Hey, you guys, do you have any food with you?" ”

Ji Xun knew that these guys wanted to rob openly.

He didn't wait for a few colleagues around him who didn't understand what was going on to react, and rushed into the pitch-black mine to the side.

It's not that he's afraid of fighting, but he just watched the aberrant miner kill people, and he's not sure if there are any "taboos" in this mine.

Kill people now, and if you don't get it right, you'll get into trouble.

watched Ji Xun slip into the mine as soon as he slipped into the mine.

In the eyes of others, this action must have been run away because there was food on the body.

The strong man shouted: "Chase!" ”

A few people chased after them.

The other porters were apprentices of the card master, and before they could run, they were beaten by a fat pass, and then their things were scavenged.

On the other side, a group of people also gathered together to break the bread they had just exchanged.

One person divided the small half.

They also saw the scene of Ji Xun escaping.

"Boss Chen, should we chase it?"

"Stop chasing. It's just one person, and I can't find much food. Waste of physical strength. Running around in the mines, provoking those 'madmen', and taking their lives if they don't get killed. It's better to save some physical strength for mining. What's more, that man's strength is not weak. ”

“.”

When they heard this, they silently nibbled on the bread in their hands.

Although the total energy of the food made these people's faces a little more bloody, the oppressive atmosphere of despair lingered.

The miners chatted again without a word.

"Hey, the crystals of the upper three layers of the mine have almost been dug now. I've only dug up three of them in the past three days, and the bread I've exchanged is not enough for one meal. If you continue like this, even if you don't go crazy, you will starve to death. ”

"yes. Now if you want to dig up enough crystals, you can only go to the mine below the fifth floor. But the spiritual pollution of that place can't even be borne by high-level card masters. It won't be long before you have to be distorted."

"Golden Oak, those guys are just forcing us to go down to the mines. What else can I do? ”

"The prison correctional side is not absolutely sure, and it is absolutely impossible to do it. I've inquired, and there have been people who have killed discipline before. But not only did they not escape, but the price was that the food exchange of the entire prison was cut off for a week, and most of the people who starved to death were starved, so most of the madmen were starving, so they instinctively wanted to stop the people who wanted to kill the correctional people. ”

"It's a problem. I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of this Shangbang prison. ”

"I can only wait for the people outside to find out about the anomaly here and come to the rescue. It's unlikely, though. It's going to be exposed, and I suspect that the people at Golden Oak will just ruin this place and keep it a secret. ”

"I heard a madman babble about how there is a master in this mine who can get out, could it be true?"

“.”

Their identities are not only exiled criminals, but also ordinary people and war slaves who have been sold by human traffickers. There was even no shortage of former federal aristocrats and officials.

The "Boss Chen" who leads the way is a field agent of Bureau X.

Ji Xun didn't run away in the mine for long.

There were three more guys who were beaten down at their feet.

He looked at the three frightened guys, and he didn't want to kill anymore.

These three people are skinny and panting when they run, if it wasn't for Ji Xun giving them a chance, the three of them would not have been able to catch up.

He stood there, took out a piece of bread, and said, "Tell me everything that is in this prison." The most talked, and what I am interested in, is to whom this piece of bread belongs. ”

"Really?"

The three of them thought they were going to die, and there was not much fear in their eyes.

The thought of dying at the hands of this man is a little more liberating than starving to death or becoming a madman.

But as soon as they heard Ji Xun's words, they immediately came to their senses and talked endlessly.

Ji Xun listened on the side, and his eyes gradually deepened.

All three have been in the mine for a few months and know a lot of things.

For example, those aberrant monsters before were all madmen who came from the high-level card masters in the past.

There are at least seven layers of mines, and now there are basically no crystals dug up above three layers, and the more crystallized they are, the more serious the pollution can be.

Those madmen are also active at the depths, and the further down they go, the more powerful the madmen become.

Later, Ji Xun listened and asked some things he wanted to know.

"Do you know who has lived the longest?"

"It seems to be 'Qi Lao Wu', right? It is said that he has lived for more than three years and was formerly the head of a mercenary group. Now he is one of the three bosses in the mine. ”

"Are there any miners who have lived for more than ten years?"

"Impossible! No one can live that long. Qi Lao Wu stayed for three years because he was a mysterious spell master, with strong mental power, and a group of younger brothers helped him mine for food, so he survived until now, but he was also going crazy. If you stay so long, you would have gone crazy for someone else. ”

“.”

Ji Xun originally wanted to inquire about the "senior" in Dong Jiuye's mouth, but he didn't get the result.

The fragment of the "gluttony" breathing method that Atay got more than ten years ago, which means that the senior was in prison more than ten years ago.

Is it dead?

"It shouldn't be."

Ji Xun felt that it was unlikely.

If that senior died, Dong Jiuye would definitely say it directly.

And judging from Master Merlin's evasive attitude before, people should still be there.

Or did you guess wrong, that "senior" was not a prisoner in the prison, but a guard outside the prison?

A piece of bread gives valuable information.

Soon, Ji Xun also had a general understanding of the situation in the mine.

And only after this question did I know that those aberrant monsters really comprehended all kinds of "war intent".

People here can be said to have been staying for a long time, and they will more or less comprehend some battle intent, or inexplicable fighting martial arts moves and spells.

Among those negative spiritual powers, there seemed to be remnants of the fragments of consciousness left by countless masters in ancient times.

This made Ji Xun very envious.

Countless masters in the outside world have been tempered by life and death, and it still takes a great opportunity to comprehend the mystery, which can be comprehended casually in this mine?

Of course, there is a price.

That's madness, deviation, and almost certain death.

The more crazy you are, the more you will understand.

However, this kind of spiritual pollution, which is fatal to others, has no effect on Ji Xun.

At least on the first floor of this mine, there is no negative impact in the short term.

Ji Xun thought of this, and he planned to go to the depths of the mine to take a look.

Take a look at the situation, and by the way, try to see if you can feel if you can touch the "fist intent" that martial artists dream of.

If you really want to kill the prison guards and rush out, just having a weeping angel is not enough insurance.

After getting satisfactory information, Ji Xun walked alone in the dark mine.

He analyzed the information just now, and he also got a lot of useful things.

Thinking about it, a thought also popped up in his mind: "But then again, if that 'senior' is really a prisoner, then how much better has he lived here for at least ten years?" ”

Although I guessed it before, the existence of making Dong Jiuye call "senior" must be very powerful.

But after this mine opened his eyes, he felt that it was absolutely ridiculously strong for someone to live here for more than ten years.

Even stronger than he knew.

Therefore, that "senior" should at least be able to go deeper into the mine.

For example, the seventh layer in the mouths of the three guys before?

Thinking of this, Ji Xun had already transformed into a werewolf form, observing the surroundings with full vigilance.

Originally, after advancing to the third order, he was still a little confident, and he felt that his current strength basically had a little self-preservation confidence wherever he went.

But after seeing the terrifying strength of the aberrant monster before, he knew that he was a bit of a frog at the bottom of the well.

His strength is okay against third-order, even fourth-order human card masters.

But it is difficult to deal with those aberrant maniacs who have comprehended the "meaning".

There are no monsters in this mine.

But there are distorted miners.

Ji Xun walked, the clown mask covered his face, and the phantom of the demon god behind him also appeared.

After the magic solution, he obtained the buff of [God Stealing], which allowed him to absorb all negative emotions and improve his understanding of the laws of all things.

The feeling that was originally like air suddenly became like a swimming pool, allowing people to swim.

Inspiration also pops up frequently.

"You've gained a hint of 'fear', and you've comprehended a hint of fist intent."

"You feel the 'manic killing', and your perception has improved slightly."

"You have captured a trace of 'desperate death' emotion, and your perception has been slightly improved."

「.」

It's an amazing feeling.

But it's vague.

It's like you've got pieces of a jigsaw puzzle stuffed into your head.

At first, I didn't know what it was, but as the fragments grew, the picture became clearer and clearer.

And as Ji Xun went deeper into the mine little by little, the feeling of comprehension became stronger and stronger.

Soon, he came to the second floor of the mine, and then went down the third floor.

Below the third floor is the forbidden area for ordinary people, and the pollution here has skyrocketed.

Even if the silence around is ghostly, you can hear the ear-blasting music in a tavern, lingering.

However, Ji Xun became more and more excited.

For him, this is simply a treasure.

But for the sake of safety, when the mana is consumed to about eighty percent, he will stop and disarm the magic solution state to recover.

Wait until you're in good shape, and then move on.

This journey was cautious and walked for a small half a day.

In the surrounding pits, you can gradually see some crystals with white light, which are all inferior quality [Battle Intent Spiritual Power Crystals].

You have to dig deep to get some high-quality ones.

Ji Xun didn't need to exchange for food, and he didn't waste time mining.

After a while, he came to the sixth floor.

This is a legendary extremely dangerous mine that only aberrant maniacs can come to.
