Volume 3 Battle of the Sea Clan Chapter 385 Mine Cave City
Seeing the young man's character of coming and going like the wind, Liu Ming touched his chin, smiled helplessly, and then continued to look at the map in his hand, with a thoughtful look on his face.
According to the information it had obtained before, the situation in this mine was not very good now, and both spirit stone food was in urgent need.
But in this case, the physically powerful one is obviously more dominant.
And with the strength of his flesh, there is hardly anyone to fear in this mine.
According to Liu Ming's plan, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was now full of physical strength and his mana was not exhausted, so he would first go to the depths of this vein to investigate the situation, and by the way, see what the evil beast was.
After all, if you can't adapt to the environment here in a short period of time, you will be too passive when your mana is exhausted.
Although he still stored some high-grade spirit stones and pills in the Sumeru snail, even so, with the rapid consumption rate of this place, he naturally couldn't last long.
And he'd better find a way out of here before his mana runs out.
Liu Ming thought so, his gaze was on the animal skin marked on the animal skin in his hand, and his gaze was slightly condensed.
According to the map, one of the passages at the three-way junction is a necessary route to the depths of the vein, passing through a settlement that resembles an exchange area.
Liu Ming was naturally no stranger to this kind of market-like place where cultivators exchanged goods and resources with each other, but he didn't expect that there would be such a place in this underground mine.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming's figure no longer hesitated flashed several times in succession, and he disappeared into the passage on the left.
Two hours later, Liu Ming entered the first passage according to the map. Finally, I saw a faint white light flickering not far ahead, and a huge cave was faintly far away. Immediately, there was a slight joy on his face, and he strode forward.
This is obviously the so-called "swap zone".
Liu Ming suddenly felt a wide field of vision in front of him. An open space with a dozen huge stone pillars standing appeared in front of him.
Each of these pillars is the thickness of a water tank, and the surface is inlaid with dense glowing fluorite, which illuminates the entire cave very brightly.
Liu Ming's gaze swept over.
But seeing that this place is about two or three hundred zhang wide, in addition to the passage when he came, there are several other passages, but I don't know where it leads. But according to the map, one of them should lead to the depths of the vein.
It seems that this place is also accessible in all directions.
Judging from the numerous large and small stone pits on the cave walls and the degree of wear and tear on the surface, we can see that this place was also a mining area a long time ago, and it should have been a place for mining slaves for some time.
Forty or fifty minions had gathered in the cave at this moment. It doesn't seem too lonely.
Most of the mine slaves are sea tribes, and there are also some human races and other alien races, but there are very few people from the demon race.
The miners were all pale-skinned, with unkempt hair, tattered clothes, and most of their expressions were unusually numb. The few people who looked calm were also full of ferocity.
These people had some things in the open air in the central square of the cave, exchanging some materials and food with each other, and there seemed to be some bone weapons like the bone knife on Liu Ming's waist. And there are not many spiritual weapons.
Seeing Liu Ming come in at this moment, except for a few people who turned their heads and glanced at them, most of them looked like they were ignoring them, still talking and meditating on their own.
The walls around the cave were also utilized. There are some very simple stone caves, most of which are empty, and a few are occupied. The person sitting in it was a little better than the miners in the cave square, both in terms of breath and on the complexion, and the objects placed on the stone platform in front of them. It's also much better than what is put out in the open air. It seems that he should be the master or powerful person in some powerful gang here.
Come to think of it, these miners who stayed in the exchange area. Except for a few people, most of them are the weakest people in some powerful gangs, or even just some spirit disciples, and most of the people who are really powerful have already gone deep into the depths of the ore vein.
Liu Ming walked into the cave quietly, and after finding an inconspicuous corner with no one to sit down, he began to observe quietly.
This place is similar to what he thought before, and it has vaguely formed the most primitive market.
At that moment, there was a commotion in one of the passages.
Liu Ming's subconscious gaze swept over.
I saw three bald Terran men with a strong sinister aura appear at the entrance of another passage, and under the leadership of the person in the middle, they walked towards a corner of the cave.
In the still bright light in the cave, Liu Ming found that the two people behind him were each carrying a huge burlap bag, and there were faint blood stains overflowing on the surface of the bag, and a smell of blood suddenly spread in the space of the cave, which caused the miners in the square to stop what they were doing and look up.
The lifeless eyes of many mining slaves were filled with a hint of longing at this moment.
Three bald men strode to a stone cave in the corner and stopped in front of the gaze of everyone.
The leader made a fist gesture to a middle-aged man in the cave who was meditating with his eyes closed, then took a small bag from his waist and handed it over, whispering something at the same time.
But seeing that the middle-aged man listened, he stretched out one hand to take the small bag, and after a little stroke, he put it in his sleeve, nodded, and then stretched out his other hand and pointed to the stone cave in the middle of the cave wall, and then continued to sit up.
Liu Ming found that the middle-aged man's clothes were surprisingly neat compared to other mine slaves, and he was also an adopted son who loved to ignore him, and there was nothing placed on the stone platform in front of him.
When the three bald men walked to the stone cave designated by the middle-aged man, the leader suddenly turned around and shouted loudly:
"Two thousand catties of fresh beast flesh and blood, two spirit stones or minerals of equivalent value per catty, first come, first served!"
As the sound fell, the two people behind him respectively put the sack on their shoulders on the stone platform at the entrance of the cave, making two muffled "bangs", and opened with the mouth of the bag. Then he saw that it was full of pieces of flesh and blood of the beasts.
"Yuanmeng, it's too black-hearted! Not long ago, it was a spirit stone and a catty. Suddenly, a Sea Tribe's miner in the square shouted. At the same time, several mine slaves began to echo it.
"Hmph, the beasts are much more powerful than usual. Have the ability to hunt and kill yourself. The bald man named "Yuanmeng" at the leader glared fiercely at the man of the Sea Clan, shouted loudly, and then entered the cave and sat on the ground, closing his eyes and recuperating.
When the other miners saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
In the end, after swallowing their saliva, a few miners still came to the entrance of the stone cave, and lined up to exchange spirit stones for the flesh and blood of evil beasts from two bald men. But after seeing that one of the bald men took the spirit stone, the other bald man would use the bone knife in his hand to cut off the corresponding flesh and throw it to the comer.
As a result, in less than a moment, there was not much flesh and blood left on the stone platform in front of the "Yuanmeng". Instead, there were bags of spirit stones and various ores.
Even the man of the Sea Clan named Shout before, after seeing that everyone had gone to exchange for flesh and blood, finally took a bag of spirit stones and exchanged dozens of catties of flesh and blood from the bald man, and then left from the passage on the side.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ming couldn't help frowning, it seemed that the food and spirit stones in this place were far more precious than he imagined, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But fortunately, the spirit stone is still a universal thing here, judging from those high-grade spirit stones in his Sumeru snail. I don't have to worry about it anytime soon.
In this way, after Liu Ming stayed here for a while, after learning a little about the prices of some items in this place, he quietly entered the passage leading to the depths of the ore vein.
This time. In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, as soon as Fang entered the passage, he took out an unknown pill from his body without saying a word. After swiping it on his body, his face immediately became as pale as other miners.
Liu Ming then urged the law to be decided through his spiritual power. The aura on his body also became a little weaker suddenly, and in this way. It looks like any other miner.
After he had done all this, he continued to pick up the map and follow the instructions as he walked on.
After walking like this, I don't know how long he walked, Liu Ming's figure flickered, and he came to a small cave with a size of more than ten zhang, and there were two passages in front of the cave.
As a result, under a casual glance of his eyes, he found several corpses with red light, lying crookedly in a corner of the cave.
Liu Ming was stunned when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but pause, walked forward, looked at it carefully, and found that these people were all broken limbs, and their deaths were extremely miserable, and looking at the decay, the time of death should have only been two or three days, and all the clothes on their bodies were stripped of themselves.
What's even more strange is that the faint red light on the surface of these corpses actually comes from the unknown red insects crawling densely on them, which makes Liu Ming also gasp
These small insects were less than an inch long, with two tentacles on their heads, lying motionless on top of the corpses, and the red round shells on their backs glowed faintly red under the light of the cyan glowstone on the cave wall, and the end was extremely strange.
Seeing all this, Liu Ming's face twitched slightly, and after a few times, he continued to walk towards the passage ahead.
And just after walking through the two corners of this pass, there are several figures in front of me.
Liu Ming frowned, but continued to walk forward expressionlessly, not looking at these people at all.
A vague divine consciousness swept over at once, but only after a slight touch, it left again.
And when passing by these people, Liu Ming obviously felt that these people's eyes were not good.
But fortunately, they didn't seem to have much interest in a lonely mining slave like him, and they just glanced at it a few times, and then passed by without pausing for half a minute.
In the time that followed, he encountered several waves of other miners passing by on the road.
But although these people didn't see the identity of their newcomers, when they saw Liu Ming alone, there was always a hint of ill will in their eyes.
But fortunately, he was going in the direction of the depths of the ore vein at this moment, and he looked like a poor ghost with weak energy, and no one Allah did anything. (To be continued......)
