The miners of the gold mines went to work as usual, and the soldiers and sergeants of the camp supervised them, watching them carry baskets of goods out of the mines, except that the bamboo baskets were no longer containing ore containing gold mines, but piles of dead human bones.

In the depths of the mine, some daring soldiers are still patrolling here, not because they are bold, but because if they do not come down, they will be executed for disobeying military orders. What's more, their supreme commander here, the Shanke Overseer, has also personally come down here, down to the deepest place, down to the side of these mountains and seas of bones, and he is still living in his 'little palace' made of gold, enjoying the warm nephrite and those beautiful haode food.

Just because Overseer Shank isn't dead doesn't mean he won't continue here. There are still people dying here every day, and their deaths are still so bizarre, so disgusting and horrible.

Several soldiers gathered together, one smoking a cigarette, watching the bones being dug up one by one, and said: "It's really terrifying, there are so many bones, there must be many resentful spirits wandering here." ”

"Hey, don't talk about it. The other two soldiers trembled with fear and prayed incessantly.

The soldier who smoked a cigarette spat out a smoke ring and mocked: "Prayer is useless, if God could really help you, there would not be so many people on this shijie who died in accidents." Don't you see the fat man who was still eating with us last night also prayed for half the night, and by this morning he was still dead. ”

"Can't the squad leader say something to comfort us?"

"Comfort?" the soldier smiled disdainfully, smoking a cigarette, "Comfort is for the weak, and I, Captain Niru, don't need comfort, and I won't comfort others." ”

The squad leader, named Captain Niru, said to the other soldier, "Why, brother, are you already trembling with fear, worried that death will fall on you at any moment?"

Although this shorter soldier was really scared, he must still be a soldier, and when his commander said this, he immediately stood up and said, "Who...... Who said that it was too cold here, and I was afraid of the cold. ”

"Really?" Captain Niru smiled, took a cigarette from his cigarette case and handed it to him, "Smoke a cigarette, it won't be so cold when you take a puff." ”

At this time, the soldiers in the tunnel next to him hurriedly ran over: "Captain, captain!"

Captain Niru immediately changed his leisurely expression just now: "What are you doing in a panic?"

"Find ...... Find ......" The soldier gasped and said, "Found it, found it." ”

"What did you find? The short soldier asked.

The soldier said, "Captain, I have found it, I have found the cause of death." ”

"What are you talking about!" Captain Niru and the others were shocked.

The soldier said, "When the miners were digging along the bone wall just now, they dug up strange ore. The stones glowed, and at first we thought they were gems, but when we were about to pick them up, we found that the miner who dug up the stones suddenly died, just like everyone else dies. ”

"How do you know it's the stone, maybe it's just a coincidence. ”

The soldier said, "There are already a few miners dead, all of them trying to dig up the ore." ”

"Oh, let's go. Captain Niru took the lead and headed towards the mine under the soldier's jurisdiction.

Where the strange stone was found, there were already many people around, the miners had stopped working, the Groms were so frightened that they hid aside, and the soldiers looked into the depths of the cave, but none of them dared to enter.

"The captain is coming, the captain is coming. Amid the shouts, the soldiers and miners moved out of the way.

"Is it really that scary?" Captain Niru looked into the depths of the cave, only to see a faint light blue glow emanating from a side hole in the left wall of the mine, and the corpse of a soldier was lying outside the cave.

"Seven people died, and three more died the moment you left, two of them were our brothers. ”

Captain Niru's brow furrowed, "Get out of the way, let me pass." ”

"Captain, no, you're going to die. The soldier said in horror.

"Yes, I've been through a lot of battles, can a stone kill me?" Captain Niru pushed the soldier in front of him away and walked towards the cave: "So many of our brothers have died, I want to see what it is and then make a mistake, whatever it is!"

Directly opposite the main cave is the bone wall, and next to the bone wall is the side hole, originally they wanted to dig along the bone wall to see how long and big the bone wall is.

Captain Niru walked to the side of the cave and looked inside along the corpses of the soldiers at his feet, and sure enough, seven corpses fell to the ground, and further inside, he saw the lethal ore that the soldiers said would glow, a kind of ice crystal like a light blue crystal stuck in the rock formation of the cave wall.

It would be impossible to say that Captain Niru was not afraid at all, the fact is that there is some fear in front of him, so many people have died. But he was more angry in his heart, and a stone would make the whole mining area restless, and he would be angry when he thought about it.

Walking around the corpses on the ground and coming to the ore, Niru Wei reached out and pulled off a piece of it: "Is this it?" He stared at the ore in his hand for a long time, nothing happened, and he was still alive.

"It doesn't seem like much. He pulled out two more pieces and held them in his hands, and that's when he realized that the glowing crystals were perfect, or clean, and that something was wrong. Because when ordinary ores are dug out of the rock formation, there is always something else attached to them, but these crystals are not like this, they have no other impurities on them.

Niru Lieutenant looked into the small holes where the crystals had been pulled out, and there were no more traces of them in the small holes. He thought for a moment and said to himself, "Could it be that this is not an ore, but like those bones, it was deliberately buried here?"

Thinking of this, Niru Lieutenant tore off the clothes of a miner on the ground, wrapped the crystal, and left the side hole.

When the soldiers saw that the captain had returned safely, they all breathed a sigh of relief: "Captain, what are you holding in your hand?"

"The ore you are talking about. ”

"What!" the crowd was so frightened that they quickly ducked.

Captain Niru glanced at them and said, "What are you afraid of, am I all right? I have taken out the ore from the cave, you continue to work, and I will report this to the Overseers." ”,

"It's the captain. ”

As Captain Niru left, the soldiers' eyes showed admiration.

Arriving at the Overseer's Golden Palace, Shank dismissed his concubine and asked, "Niru Captain, what's the matter? I know you won't come to my palace without anything important." ”

"Overseers. "There is something important, and it was found in the mines, possibly related to the recent streak of deaths. ”

"What is it?" Shank got out of bed and walked over.

Niru Lieutenant opened his clothes and said, "Look, these are the crystals. He told Shank the general story of what had happened.

"Is it ore?" said Shank, picking up a piece and looking at it.

"I don't think so. "It looks like it's been buried in the ground, and I think there may be one around the bone wall." ”

Shanke nodded, threw down the crystal block and said: "Why do you do such a dangerous thing yourself, I told you a long time ago, you are the person I trust the most, you don't have to go down the mine, if something happens, I will be sad." ”

Niru Lieutenant said: "I am also your soldier, the other squad leaders have gone down, I don't go down, this is not good." ”

Shanke said: "With your ability, you can be far more than just a squad leader, even if you are like Aniru and Saxon, it is more than enough to be my deputy." ”

"I know that the Overseers have always been strict in their governance, and that if you want to be promoted, you have to rely on merit and merit, and no one is exempt. ”

Shanke sighed, "I've wronged you." ”

Niru Lieutenant said: "You are kind to me, let alone let me be a squad leader, even if I am an ordinary soldier, I have no complaints." ”

Shanke smiled: "I helped you back then, and you have always followed me faithfully, and I feel very relieved to have you by my side." However, until the danger is over, you should not go down the mine again, and I will take care of this matter myself. ”

"What are you going to do?"

Shanke said: "Of course, we have to figure out what these are. When Anglo came back I heard him say that the king had sent geologists from neighbouring countries to examine the situation of the tubat volcano, and I wanted to bring them over and they would be able to figure out what it was. ”
