Chapter 187, Mysterious Island! Mine slaves!
Three days later, Jiang Chen completely became the most wanted criminal of the Dafeng royal family.
The Dafeng royal family even promised that as long as someone could provide information on Jiang Chen's whereabouts, after verifying the authenticity, they would be able to get a middle-level spiritual weapon.
The number of spiritual weapons is already scarce, not to mention the mid-level spiritual weapons, which shows that the Great Sealing Kingdom attaches great importance to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's head was even rewarded with an extremely terrifying 10,000 spirit crystals, and anyone who killed Jiang Chen could use his body to exchange for spirit crystals from the Great Sealing Kingdom.
All of a sudden, the whole country was a sensation, and his murderous name spread throughout every city in the entire Great Feudal Kingdom.
This also means that Jiang Chen will have no place in the entire Great Feudal Kingdom.
But all of this is not important to Jiang Chen.
……
At this moment, Jiang Chen was led by the green-robed old man and galloped towards the depths of the Eternal Sea.
Under the dark water, there are countless terrifying figures, but they are blind to the figures above.
Even in the scorching sun, the mystery of the deep sea is equally strong, the sun is reflected on the undulating waves, not even a trace of light can penetrate into it, and the underwater seems to be an isolated mysterious world, which does not tolerate the slightest light.
As time passed, when night fell, there was an abnormal change in the dark water.
A black shadow as black as ink slowly floated from the sea, it was a dense and hideous ghost.
In the next moment, the sea surface changed from the original silence to a miserable one, and bursts of soul-shaking sharp sounds broke through the air and spread in all directions, and the sound was extremely tragic and made people's scalps tingle.
Even the green-robed old man showed a solemn expression, and then he took out a bronze ancient lamp.
The divine glow sprinkled by the bronze ancient lamp was as brilliant as the sun, as bright as the moon, and the light shrouded the old man and Jiang Chen behind him.
The old man glanced behind him, squinted his eyes, and then continued to hurry with Jiang Chen.
After shuttling through time, the figure of the green-robed old man appeared in front of a vast black island.
The island is surrounded by the sea, a full hundred meters above the level of the deep water, and is surrounded by black black iron that resembles giant barbs.
This dark iron is an extremely hard, corrosion-resistant material.
Each piece of black iron was extremely strong, and it took ten adults to hold it hand in hand.
Soaring to the sky, it encloses the entire island, which from a distance looks more like a giant cage.
Within a radius of 10,000 meters, black hurricanes are raging, making the island look like an island of the dead.
The green-robed old man pinched with one hand, and after making a mark, a windless passage appeared in the hurricane zone in an instant, leading directly to the black island.
The green-robed old man disappeared into the black island with Jiang Chen.
……
In the dim and damp mine tunnel, Jiang Chen was wearing coarse linen clothes, carrying a mining basket on his back, and holding a mining pickaxe in his hand, moving forward step by step.
Three days earlier, he had passed out from a coma with serious injuries, but fortunately, he was still alive.
Unfortunately, he was taken to this vein and became a lowly miner.
Jiang Chen didn't even know what the hell this place was.
And he was also sealed with a body of power by the strongest man, and the trick in his body was completely closed, and he couldn't sense a trace of yuan power.
Even the strength of the physical body cannot be compared with the peak at all, and now he can be regarded as an ordinary person with a relatively strong physical body.
What made Jiang Chen feel a little relieved was that although the thunder seed in his body fell silent, the golden fruit in the thunder seed overflowed with wisps of pure thunder power every moment.
As time passed, the thunder seed began to glow with faint fluctuations, and this trace of thunder power was enough for Jiang Chen to cast two powerful palm thunders.
"It must not be easily exposed unless it is absolutely necessary." Jiang Chen said secretly, a secret that exposed his body, and the tragic consequences that awaited him.
"Alas, the mine slave is the mine slave......" Jiang Chen sighed, compared to those who were killed by that humanoid creature, he was still alive.
Although the things on his body were also plucked out, but fortunately, he stored all the valuable things in the arrogant snake ring, and what was lost was only what he put on his body for people to see.
He could vaguely perceive that Yuanao had fallen into a deep sleep in the depths of his consciousness, and the backlash of the mysterious female corpse had also affected Yuanao.
"The plan now is to live!" There was a cold glint in his eyes.
If you die here, then everything is meaningless.
"Dafeng royal family, one day, I will kill back." Jiang Chen hid the anger in his heart deeply.
Here he needs to be cautious, because if he is not careful, what awaits him is a merciless death.
In the past few days, Jiang Chen has gradually learned that every mine slave has been subjected to a mysterious and unpredictable prohibition.
You can only move in the designated area, and if you leave the designated safe area rashly, the ban on your body will be triggered, and then you will suffer unimaginable pupils, which makes life worse than death.
That kind of scene, Jiang Chen has already seen it since he woke up on the first day.
Mine slaves need to pay a sufficient amount of spirit ore every month.
If you don't pay enough spirit ore that month or steal spirit ore without permission, you will be severely beaten at best, unable to get food, or dead.
Here, spirit ore is everything.
It is an extremely precious ore, containing a rich and violent spiritual power, which can be purified into a precious spirit crystal after being specially treated by the refiner.
In the Eternal Sea, Spirit Crystals are the true universal currency.
None of the people who can survive in the Eternal Sea are ordinary people, and silver means little to the people here.
In this place, the miner has no status at all, but if he can pay more spirit ore every month, he can also exchange it for extras.
For example, medicine stones, pills, or other things, even if you pay enough spirit ore, you can also make your life a little more comfortable.
Of course, the premise is to protect the spirit ore in your hands.
But the miner slaves are not completely without a way to live, if they can accumulate enough contribution points to impress the people above, they will also have a chance to be fished up.
However, there are very few miners who can get out of the mining area, and they work all day in this dim environment, and they can't even eat enough, and it is even more impossible to get contribution points.
Therefore, basically nine out of ten mining slaves have accepted their fate, working hard every day to mine, just to eat a full meal.
Jiang Chen retracted his gaze, the mine cave was cold and dim, and a cold aura emerged from the depths of the ground, and after a long time of contacting this cold aura, it would form a cold disease that changed color when the mine slave smelled it.
When this kind of cold disease occurs, the blood veins in the body will gradually condense into ice, making life worse than death.
Therefore, the people who were caught as mine slaves were at least true Yuan Realm martial artists, even if they lost their Yuan power, they could carry it for a period of time with their physical bodies.
This kind of cold disease can be alleviated with a Yang Huo Pill, but it also requires a lot of spirit ore in exchange.
The underground mines crisscrossed the ground, and Jiang Chen cautiously turned left and right, and also reached an extremely deep place.
Resisting the cold, he carefully tapped a fist-sized piece of ore embedded deep in the wall, and in a few moments he pried it out and placed it in the crate behind his back.
"Get out first." In the mine, Jiang Chen always felt cold and didn't dare to stay for a long time.
In fact, there are not only ores in the mines, but also terrifying beings that live deep underground.
With Jiang Chen's current state, if he met that kind of existence, maybe his life would have to be explained here.
He carried his things and began to walk back, and he also met a lot of miners, and the more he walked outside, the more miners he encountered.
It's just that everyone looked vigilant, and all of them were in a hurry, not daring to linger for a moment.
"Hey, new kid." At this moment, there was a malicious sound in front of Jiang Chen.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked ahead, it was a stout middle-aged man.
He was tall, dressed in tattered burlap, with a large patch of lush body hair on his chest, a stubble on his face, a swarthy complexion, and a pair of gloomy eyes under his long sparse hair.
The man kept licking his thick lips with his tongue, and from time to time a cold light flashed to make Jiang Chen secretly vigilant.
Behind him were three other men who were as strong as oxen, all staring at Jiang Chen with malicious intent.
The man squinted his eyes, his voice hoarse, and said in a commanding tone, "Take off your clothes." ”
The mine was already quiet, and as soon as his words came out, almost all the miners passing by could hear them clearly, but none of them dared to linger and take a second look.
"White and tender, it looks like a superb."
"Hurry up or I'll kill you."
"If you make Lao Tzu comfortable, I won't take your ore."
The man's eyes contain madness and desire, and it is conceivable that after staying here for a long time, the psychology has already become abnormal.
When Jiang Chen heard this, his eyes instantly became cold.
That's it!
The ground began to shake, and the figures of the large group of mine slaves in the mine couldn't help shaking, only the sound of "boom" could be heard, and an underground tunnel not far away actually began to collapse.
At the same time, stones fell from the top of the mine, and the miners hurriedly dodged one by one.
If you are hit, even if you don't die, it will cost a lot of ore to repair your body.
"Ahhh
"Roar-" A terrifying roar sounded, and at the same time, there were screams one after another, and the face of the man in front of him suddenly changed suddenly, and then he glanced at Jiang Chen greedily.
"Good luck for you." The men then fled quickly towards the exit of the mine.
But at this moment, in the direction of the middle-aged man's escape, cracks broke out in the stone wall above the mine.
I only heard the sound of cracking, and huge stones continued to fall, and with a "boom", the mine tunnel also collapsed.
"Run, it's a centipede!"
"Ahh
The men and the others had gloomy faces, and they all ran in the opposite direction with the crowd.
Panic sounded one after another, and one by one the miners quickly sprinted towards the safety of the underground mine.
There were already many mine tunnels around that had collapsed, and many people ran towards the mine tunnel to Jiang Chen's left.
"New here, are you scared silly? Run away, centipedes are extremely terrifying monsters in this mine, and it is difficult to deal with even if the mine guards come. ”
A young man dressed in coarse gray clothes with a yellow face kindly reminded him, and after speaking, he ignored Jiang Chen and fled quickly.
The roars and screams continued to sound, and Jiang Chen even saw the blood splattered from the depths of the tunnels on the left and right.
"Centipedes?" Jiang Chen leaned against the wall with his face solemn, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he felt that it was even more dangerous to follow the crowd.
There were almost hundreds of people in the mine who were frantically rushing in the direction of Qin Yu's side, but at this moment, the stone wall above this group of people suddenly cracked.
I saw a blue-black claw stretched out, more than two meters high, and each claw had dense barbs like a short knife.
In an instant, fifty or sixty claws pierced through the stone wall and killed one mine slave after another.
The miners who were captured and killed were reduced to bones and flesh.
Bang!
Until the stone wall above the tunnel was completely shattered, and a monstrous behemoth appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Centipedes!
This is a giant centipede with a length of about twenty or thirty meters.
The cold eyes looked indifferently at the panicked group of people, and the claws quickly grabbed it.
"Ahh
But these things are of no use to centipedes.
The surface of this centipede is covered with a layer of oily protective shell, and you know how strong its defense is.
To say it slowly, in fact, centipedes rushed out and just started to kill, and encountered many mine slaves to defend themselves, and it only took about ten breaths in total.
Jiang Chen had been sticking to the wall, away from the more than ten people gathered together, his life was at stake, and he didn't dare to act easily.
"Once it is revealed that I can cast spells, it will definitely not end well." Jiang Chen has extremely strong eyesight, sticking to the stone wall, reducing his sense of presence as much as possible.
"Never take action unless you have to." The smell of blood in the mine became stronger and stronger, until there were still four people left on the field, and Jiang Chen's figure was also discovered by centipedes.
"It's Ling, but you're not dead!"
Among the few people who survived, there was the middle-aged man from before, at this time, his face was covered with blood, looking at Jiang Chen's calm gaze, and surprise flashed in his heart.
At this time, Jiang Chen's position was closest to the centipede, and its cold eyes stared at Jiang Chen, and its claws quickly grabbed it.
Jiang Chen's complexion changed suddenly, his face became gloomy, and at this moment, he couldn't do it if he didn't make a move.
But he was well disguised, and his face was panicked until the centipede approached him two meters away.
The panic on Jiang Chen's face disappeared, replaced by a cold and ruthless gaze, and in his right hand, the power of wind and thunder surged.
After the horrified eyes of the other surroundings, Jiang Chen's body was like electricity, and in the blink of an eye, the palm thunder came out of his hand, turning into a blue qi sword.
I saw that the qi sword tore through the air with terrifying power, and with a sharp whistling sound, it smashed the torso of the hard body of the centipede.
Only a roar of pain was heard, and the centipede's body snapped and split in two, and the sharp pain made the centipede go crazy and seemed to go on a rampage.
"Ah———h
Only the middle-aged man and the young man who had kindly reminded Jiang Chen were left.
At the same time, Jiang Chen's figure also moved, and a palm thunder once again condensed in his right hand.
The palm thunder was thrown quickly, cutting off the middle-aged man's head in an instant.
Whoever sees him shoot will die, and he only believes that the dead will keep secrets.
Jiang Chen looked at the frightened young man in the corner again, he couldn't bear it, but for his own sake, he had to be ruthless.
"Boom!"
But at this moment, there was a sound from the mine behind him, Jiang Chen turned to look, and saw a soldier in black armor running over quickly, which gave people a sense of oppression.
The leader was a tall strong man, he saw Jiang Chen at a glance, and said coldly: "Say, what's going on here?" ”。
"My lord, all I know is that a giant centipede suddenly appeared in the mine, and then I didn't see anything." Jiang Chen bowed slightly and said.
The strong man looked at Jiang Chen, then looked back at the stone wall with bone residue and flesh and blood, and then looked at the stone wall that was scratched by centipedes.
"Where were you just now, why didn't you see it?" He said with a frown.
Jiang Chen pointed to a collapsed mine tunnel and said, "As soon as the centipede appeared just now, I hid in those collapsed piles of rubble, and I didn't dare to come out until the movement disappeared." ”
"Good luck for you." The strong man glanced at Jiang Chen coldly and nodded.
Jiang Chen said this, and also explained why he didn't see it, he was hiding in the rubble, he was too late to be afraid, how could he dare to see it?
"Centipede, hiding back again?"
The strong man stared at the shattered passages everywhere, his brow furrowed deeply.
In his opinion, the miner with the prohibition on his body has no resistance in the face of centipedes.
It was their luck that those two survived.
"You can go."
The strong man said indifferently.
Jiang Chen nodded respectfully, and the young man in the corner was also full of joy.
He looked at Jiang Chen's back, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and followed.
