Chapter 25: Trouble Comes to the Door
The scorching sun was shining, and in a valley in the north of Qingniu City, it was unusually busy at this time.
Dozens of miners are desperately wielding iron skids and other tools to chisel through boulders, which are then broken into smaller chunks and transported away.
These people were already sweating, but they were all nervous, and they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
At the same time, four youths stood not far from the crowd, constantly waving whips in their hands.
A young man looked smug and scolded and said:
"Hurry up for me, the ore dug today is less than yesterday, what are you all doing to eat, don't hurry up, be careful of the uncle's whip!"
Hearing this, everyone showed fear on their faces at the same time, and subconsciously moved a lot faster.
On the outer slopes of the valley, there were more than two dozen children of the Liu family, all with serious faces, constantly scanning around with their eyes.
At the highest point of the hillside, there stood a middle-aged man with slightly dark skin, this person was one of the two elders of the Liu family, Liu Hun, an immortal cultivator of the eighth layer of qi refining, in charge of the Liu family's refined iron ore industry.
Beside Liu Hun, there was a slightly chubby young man, who was the son of Liu Fei, the head of the Liu family, Liu Zhi, a fourth-layer Qi refining monk.
Seeing the four young men in the mine beating the miners with whips, Liu Tong's face showed a smile and said:
"Second uncle, you can really do it, recruit these ordinary mortals to be absenteeism, but you can save a lot of spirit stones!"
Liu Hun smiled proudly and said:
"Of course, although it is faster to recruit some low-level immortal cultivators to mine, we still have to pay them spirit stones as compensation. But now that these ordinary mortals are recruited as miners, we are only responsible for giving them food. That's a lot of spirit stones!"
Liu Tong nodded in admiration, and then his face turned into a gritted tooth expression, and said:
"It's all to blame on the Zhang family and those guys in Wanbaolou, so that the second uncle has to come here to guard in person, if it weren't for them, the second uncle and nephew should be comfortable at home at this moment." ”
Liu Hun also showed a trace of unkindness and said:
"Hmph, don't worry, sooner or later, they will all be eradicated from Qingniu City, and Mo Feiyu's kid, he will also have to die. ”
After using his divine sense to investigate the surroundings again, and found nothing abnormal, Liu Hun sat on a chair next to him and pretended to sleep.
Liu Tong also leaned lazily against a tree and squinted.
Just a short time later, Liu Hun suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes looked towards a dense forest very vigilantly.
"What kind of person, come out for Lao Tzu!" Liu Hun shouted.
At this time, everyone in the Liu family was shocked at the same time, and they all subconsciously made vigilant actions.
A moment later, a loud laugh suddenly came from the depths of the forest:
"Hahaha, Liu Hun Xiao'er, your refined iron ore belongs to the old man!"
Immediately afterwards, I saw more than thirty figures appear at the same time, surrounding all the people of the Liu family in the middle.
The person at the head was wearing a wide black robe, and it was the Zhang family who advocated Mao.
Liu Hun's face suddenly sank, and a cold light flashed in his eyes:
"Master Zhang, this is my Liu family's property, do you want to start a war with the Liu family?"
While speaking, Liu Hun waved to his subordinates, and everyone took out their weapons at the same time.
Zhang Mao smiled slightly, waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to take out their weapons, and then said to Liu Hun:
"Grandma's, my Zhang family's red copper mine has been robbed, and the old man took down your refined iron ore just enough!"
Liu Hun frowned, and said to Liu Tong in a low voice:
"Let's go, go back and ask your dad to bring someone over!"
Liu Tong was quite clever, and arched his hand towards Liu Hun, without saying a word, he turned his head and left.
Zhang Mao smiled slightly, and said to his subordinates behind him:
"Stop him for me!"
The next moment, the two behind Zhang Mao jumped up at the same time and chased towards the direction where Liu Tong left.
Liu Hun shouted:
"Kill me!"
Immediately afterwards, people on both sides took out their weapons and shouted to kill each other.
Zhang Mao took the lead in sacrificing a silver spear of a mid-level magic weapon, the surface of the streamer flashed, and a spear flew out more than a dozen zhang away, hitting Liu Hun's throat directly.
Seeing Zhang Mao shooting at him, Liu Hun didn't dare to be careless, he hurriedly took out two sledgehammers from the storage bag, stepped forward with sledgehammers in both hands, and at the same time picked up the hammer head to pick up Zhang Mao's spear.
There was a loud bang, sparks splashed in mid-air, and a fierce wind whistled, forming a circle of energy fluctuations, causing the two magic weapons to tremble in mid-air at the same time.
"Hahaha, Liu Hun, I didn't expect you kid to have two more hits. But today, this refined iron ore must belong to my Zhang family!"
Zhang Mao looked at Liu Hun and smiled weirdly, jumped to a position three feet away from the other party with a movement of his feet, and at the same time turned his head to a young man behind him and said, "Mo family boy, it's time for you to make a move!"
"Hehe, okay!"
A teenager burst out of the crowd with great dexterity, it was Mo Feiyu.
I saw that his figure flickered not far in front of everyone in the Liu family, and then with one hand and a finger, he manipulated the silver thunder sword and flew up, attacking the two Qi Refining Seventh Layers at the same time.
A girl's voice also sounded at the same time, but it was Zhang Ling'er.
"Dad, you know that your name is Brother Yu, and it is not weak to let you see your daughter's ability. ”
Zhang Ling'er had two swords in her hands, and a strong spiritual power fluctuation emanated from her body, judging from her breath, she already had the realm of the fifth layer of qi refining.
I saw her swing her twin swords and attack towards a fifth-level Qi refining monk, and in a moment she firmly gained the upper hand.
Zhang Mao smiled and said:
"Good daughter, good job!"
"The guards of the Liu family, give them to me!" At this time, Liu Hun was also a little anxious, and shouted loudly and waved the giant hammer again to greet Zhang Mao.
In just a few moments, the entire outskirts of the valley were filled with monks fighting, and the sound of weapons clashing came and went.
In less than a cup of tea, seven or eight monks on both sides had fallen to the ground, and a bloody breath rose with the wind, which stimulated everyone's nerves even more.
For some young people of the Liu family, it was obviously the first time they had seen such a tragic scene, and they were all pale, but they had to hold the weapons in their hands tightly, for fear that one would accidentally be attacked by the other party.
And everyone in the Zhang family, many of them have already experienced the scene of the last robbery of the red copper mine, and they all held back the fire in their stomachs, attacking the children of the Liu family like fierce gods.
In the face of such a fierce attack, the people of the Liu family were obviously underprepared, and after a stick of incense, more than half of them had already been killed or injured, and even the monks above the fifth level of qi refining had also died.
Facing Zhang Mao of the ninth layer of qi refining, Liu Hun was also very difficult here, but he was more shrewd, and he only defended but did not attack when he fought against Zhang Mao, and after a few rounds, he only suffered a small loss.
His purpose is very simple, that is, to wait for the head of the family, Liu Fei, to come to support.
Seeing that everyone retreated one after another, Liu Hun shouted loudly:
"Hold on to me, the head of the house will come to save us in a while!"
As soon as these words came out, many young people of the Liu family were really inspired, and they regained their spirits one by one and fought with their opponents again.
