Fortunately, they are all civilized people, no, civilized demons. I figured things out without a touch.

The one who came was the law enforcement team of the sect. Yu Xiaozheng has a sect experience task that has not been completed. Moreover, there are still three days before the deadline for this sect task expires, and if it expires, he will be punished by the sect - confinement for seven days.

Jiang Feng originally wondered why Yu Xiaozheng could not do sect tasks all the time, as far as he knew, all the outer and inner sects of the great sects such as the Li Sect and the Imperial Wind Sect had to receive and complete the sect tasks at a certain frequency. On the one hand, the sect can mobilize the strength within the sect and expand the influence of the sect by issuing experience tasks, and on the other hand, the disciples can get training and get rewards from the sect to improve themselves by doing experience tasks.

The Asa Mountain Sect also had a sect experience task when it was wide, and that was six generations ago, Jiang Feng had the intention to restart the sect experience task, but limited to the sect's financial resources, this was just an unrealistic plan for the time being.

Now it is obvious that he is Yu Xiaozheng's scapegoat, and he must end this sect training task of "theft investigation" as soon as possible, otherwise the seven-day confinement is not a trouble, escape?

............

Tianmu Mountain tailings.

Seeing that this place was full of devastation and no grass, Jiang Feng complained deeply in his heart to Yu Xiaozheng, how could he take such a sect training task.

It is two hundred miles away from the main peak of Dagu Mountain. The scorching sun of Tianmu Mountain is scorching, and occasionally a hard-shelled stone scorpion jumps out of the sand and gravel gap, crawls rapidly, and burrows into another crevice, which can be regarded as the only life here. This was originally a mine that produced purple fire copper essence, but when there was no limit on the number of takeaways, it was basically hollowed out, and the village that was originally built on the mountain has long been abandoned, and only a few old demon cultivators who are unwilling to move away are still stationed here.

Quest hint, there have been other sect demon cultivators here recently, and it is necessary to investigate whether there is still a situation of poaching here and report it. Speaking of illegal mining, it is mainly because Lizong's original mining method is simple and rude, only mining rich ore veins, and basically turning a blind eye to poor ore veins, therefore, after the withdrawal of the Zongmen mining team, there are often loose cultivators who sneak in here and steal purple fire copper essence, which not only disrupts the order in the market, but also causes hidden dangers to the safety here.

Jiang Feng looked at the bronze "talisman" hanging on his body, although the style was simple and novel, and the front and back sides were carved with patterns symbolizing auspiciousness and wealth, but this thing was really a magic weapon to prevent self-theft by the guards, as long as this thing was hung, any spatial fluctuations of the purple fire copper essence entering the storage bag would be detected, and this thing was used to prevent the disciples who entered the mining area from fishing in troubled waters, and from mining tailings to fill their pockets after investigation.

As for it?

What about the trust that was said to be good? Jiang Feng's original intention of "imagining infinity" was completely disappointed.

Falling from the largest pit to the bottom, almost a hundred feet deep, the scorching sunlight has been unable to penetrate, the main tunnel of the mine, which is not too narrow, can accommodate up to four people in and out, in some of the wider spaces, there are occasionally abandoned minecarts parked, the tunnel passage extends in all directions, if you don't look at the signage on the wall, it is easy to get lost. Jiang Feng doesn't know any detection skills, so naturally he can only follow the street signs, of course, he has the map given by the official in his hand, but the map is already inaccurate, and the mining behavior of some poachers has destroyed the structure here, and this change, the deeper it goes, the more obvious it becomes.

There is obviously an extra passage here, under the reflection of the torch, Jiang Feng looked at the map in his hand, carefully felt the direction, and marked the changes here on the map, otherwise, he would face the dilemma of getting lost when he returned. The walls of the mine are shining with impure purple fire copper essence, although the content is very low, but as long as you purify it carefully, you can still get the purple fire copper essence that meets the standard, but in Lizong's view, this kind of behavior outweighs the loss, even if it is a poacher, it is also looking for high-quality products from inferior ore veins, and few people have that patience.

What a waste.

It's good to give this kind of tailings to the Asama Sect, but he can only look at it, and he has a talisman on his body.

Continuing to go deeper, the cave did not see the light of day, and gradually lost the concept of time, Jiang Feng found a brand-new excavation passage for the first time, it seems that there are really poachers here, this passage has obvious characteristics, very narrow, almost only two people can enter and exit, only can move the body, and the traces of mining hoes on the wall are also very new, uneven, in the corner, there are also damaged pickaxes and broken clothes, with a special moisture and choking smell.

Jiang Feng stepped back for a while, extinguished the torch, hid around the corner, and released a shadow.

The shadow of the black muffle moved left and right in the mine, entering the new passageway, and did not stop until it noticed a faint light ahead. Three demon cultivators with low cultivation are sweating like rain here, one is holding a torch, one is struggling to dig in front, one is responsible for selecting suitable mineral materials, and the three of them rotate with each other, while maintaining their physical strength, they will not distribute the spoils unevenly because of the different division of labor. All the purple fire copper essence that had been mined was piled aside, and it was not put in a storage bag.

"Hu Tianshu, have we dug up a hundred?" The excavator in front of him is a short and fat man, all over his body is soaked, in order to control the strength and not cause the mine to collapse due to force, there is no way to use skills here, you can only rely on physical strength, this is not only for the poachers, but also for the official mining team, but the latter does not need to be so careful, for the shallow buried rich ore, you can even use blasting skills or soil skills to directly concentrate the ore mining, full of efficiency.

"It should have exceeded, now there are one hundred and twenty, I think. "Behind him is a demon cultivator wearing a torn robe, and the cultivation of the three of them, with him being the highest, seems to have a spiritual level six-fold cultivation, and he should be the leader of the team. "Do you want to put a signal and let Lao Hanleg come down to check? Count him, we can call it a day today, it's really panicked here." ”

"I'm going to put the signal. The young demon cultivator behind him said, he lit a torch and handed it to the demon cultivator in the broken robe, the firelight reflected his black face full of dust, collapsed nose, and the 'ditch' left by sweat, looking very embarrassed, he didn't know what pill he stuffed into his mouth, like a low-grade Huiqi pill with a large size, puffed out his cheeks and said while chewing, "Wait back to the stronghold, you guys be careful, I think a few new lone travelers today, the idea is not very right, don't be black." ”

"Don't worry, there are old cold legs, who dares to break the rules. You hurry up and call him, if the others rush first, twenty is not enough for the old cold legs. Humpty Dumpty put down his mining hoe and began to wipe his sweat and was ready to call it a day.

What's the situation, who is the old cold leg? And these demon cultivators, why do they have the same talisman as themselves, just a little old? Jiang Feng, who was hiding in the corner, flashed these doubts in his heart, and retreated his shadow again, dodging the young demon cultivator who was about to come out, waiting for the arrival of the old cold leg.

After a while, a demon cultivator with not very dexterous legs and feet appeared, and it was naturally the young demon cultivator who walked in front to lead the way, and the two didn't talk much, and went straight to the pit where Humpty Dumpty and the ragged monk were.

"You're very good, and today is your fastest. A hoarse voice came, presumably this was the old cold leg that the three of them were talking about.

"Old Yan, please collect today's management fee, we can call it a day. Humpty Dumpty said respectfully, leaning his body against the side wall of the tunnel, so as to make enough space, under the firelight, the small pile of purple fire copper essence flashed with a purple-red glow, the purity looked very high, it should be carefully selected.

Lao Hanleg didn't say much, took out a shovel, skillfully poked on the pile of mines, and divided a pile of ore into two piles, one big and one small, which happened to be five to one, and with a wave of his hand, he put the small pile into the storage bag. didn't say anything, waved his hand and motioned for a few people to go, and a few people hurriedly threw out a backpack, wrapped the purple fire copper essence, and walked out of this tunnel, turning around, out of Jiang Feng's sight.

The torch passed by the old cold leg, Jiang Feng found that familiar face, and was taken aback again, this person turned out to be one of the several old demon cultivators who stayed in the village when he entered the village, although he was old and his cultivation was not high, he could talk and laugh with the deputy captain of the law enforcement team who led him.

Jiang Feng found that more than that, the "talisman" on his body didn't seem to give any warning when it was loaded with the purple fire copper essence.

gave up the idea of keeping up, this demon cultivator surnamed Yan, nicknamed 'Old Cold Legs', since he dared to do so, he must have his support, and even the means of counter-reconnaissance were slightly higher, otherwise he would not often walk by the river, and he would not touch a drop.

Jiang Feng recalled the shadow and entered another passage, he planned to collect more information first. Humpty Dumpty's words mentioned a very important clue, that is, there is not only one of them here, there may be many, and the Broken Robe Demon Cultivator mentioned a camp, which should be a place where these poachers meet and rest, this place cannot be on the ground in a grand manner - there is only that abandoned village here - otherwise, the management of Lizong would not be blind and blind.

Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Feng found more than one team of thieves, the least was only two demon cultivators, the most was as many as six, and the set goals ranged from fifty to three hundred. He decisively followed a team of very low cultivators, gradually approaching deeper underground until he felt a noisy atmosphere.

There is a dry and empty place, more like an abandoned hall, and the hall is surrounded by many rooms, and the walls are covered with torches. Many poachers put a cleansing charm on their bodies before entering here, and entered the camp cleanly, without exception.

There are no inspectors, but there seems to be a rule of its own.

Jiang Feng was about to find a way to carefully observe the characteristics of the poachers here, so as to blend in here, but he saw a back figure from a distance, which seemed to be somewhat familiar, and when the person entered the hall, a few people who originally seemed to be sitting idly immediately surrounded him, and they argued for a while, and then dispersed.

He turned around by chance, and seemed to be stared at by Jiang Feng.

"How could it be him?" Jiang Feng was a little surprised, but he was expected to think about it.
