Chapter 3: The Old Ape and the Spirit Fruit
Killing No. 4 made Tang Mian the new slave tyrant in the No. 14 mining area, and no one dared to covet Tang Mian's black steamed buns from then on.
However, Tang Mian has no interest in dominating among slaves, because no matter how powerful a slave is, he is just a dog in the eyes of Deacon Wang, and he is still a breed that does not dare to bark.
It was Tang Mian's most realistic wish to make his slave life better, so he desperately excavated the Sinking Iron Essence Stone in exchange for the meat and fruits that Deacon Wang secretly threw at him.
"Still nothing!"
In the mine cave more than 20 meters deep, Tang Mian was talking to himself while tapping the rock wall in front of him.
The problem in front of him was that the Sinking Iron Essence Stone had disappeared for quite some time, and this kind of ore, which was already scarce, seemed to be extinct in Tang Mian's current mining cave.
He knew very well that Deacon Wang and he were both doing risky things, Deacon Wang's danger came from whether the illegal theft of ore would be exposed, and Tang Mian's danger came from whether Deacon Wang was worried about whether this matter would be exposed.
"For the sake of the stomach, I can't care so much!"
Tang Mian touched the rock wall and decided to dig in this direction, and after the iron pickaxe smashed into it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Huh?!The sound is not quite right, could it be that the side is hollow?!"
He was sure there were no other slave mines nearby, so what was the sound of the cavity coming from the rock wall?
Damn, Lao Tzu is still afraid of Mao after being like this! Get out of the way! Tang Mian laughed at himself and waved his pickaxe to smash it to that side, and stopped after a few hits, there seemed to be movement inside!
"Bang!"
Tang Mian was stunned, the rock wall in front of him suddenly cracked, a gray-haired arm broke out of the stone, and five cold claws slapped at Tang Mian's face.
Suddenly suffering a heavy blow, Tang Mian felt that his head was about to explode, and his body was directly lifted out by the huge force from the claws, and he fell heavily in the mine.
At this point, it was too late to check the damage, because the monster that had attacked him just now had completely broken through the wall!
By candlelight, the monster was covered in gray hair, two slender and powerful arms ended in sharp claws, and the blood basin mouth was flanked by terrifying fangs.
Before Tang Mian could stand up, the monster roared and pounced on Tang Mian, its scarlet eyes full of madness and rage!
The monster was extremely agile, and its two sharp claws took the lead in pressing Tang Mian's shoulder, and the blood basin bit down towards Tang Mian's neck.
When the catastrophe came, Tang Mian's adrenal hormones surged, and the strength he had accumulated from eating meat these days was used in one go. He threw his arms apart and quickly held the pickaxe in front of him.
The monster bit on the iron pickaxe, and the sound of teeth shattering that Tang Mian expected did not come, but felt that the iron pickaxe in his hand appeared densely cracked!
What kind of steel teeth and bite force is this!? Tang Mian was shocked, if you don't work hard today, you can't get by!
Fortunately, Tang Mian was astute, and when the other party wrestled with him with a bloody mouth, his right foot was raised and kicked the opponent's abdomen suddenly. Ordinary people are afraid that they will already hold their stomachs and fall to the ground in pain, but the monster is like a nobody, and the anger in his eyes is even more than before!
The two sharp claws gripped Tang Mian's neck tightly, and they wanted to twist it off directly. Tang Mian was desperate, the strength of the two was not at the same level, obviously this was not an ordinary beast.
Gradually, the skin on Tang Mian's neck was bleeding, his face became pale, he was pinched by his trachea, and it became difficult to breathe.
But I don't know why, as time goes by, the monster's strength does not continue to increase, but slowly declines, and the expected broken neck does not happen.
The monster's scarlet eyes looked at Tang Mian, and the anger and hatred still existed, but there was a little more fatigue!
Tang Mian suddenly understood, this monster was old and lacked energy! It could be seen from the ravines and dull gray-white fur on its face.
But what's the use? Although the other party twisted his neck, it was enough to suffocate him, and the result was the same.
At this moment, the hole broken by the monster suddenly flashed with white light, and a refreshing fragrance wafted out of it.
"Whew!"
After the monster's nose twitched twice, its scarlet eyes erupted in ecstasy. At the same time, it quickly let go of Tang Mian, who was still resisting stubbornly, roared, and ran frantically towards the entrance of the cave.
Tang Mian, who was dying, covered his neck that was cut open by sharp claws, and he didn't know where the strength came from, he actually stood up!
The gray-haired monster rushed into the belly of the mountain like crazy, and Tang Mian in the mine could no longer attract its attention, there was only one thing in its eyes, that is, the spirit fruit that had just matured in the cave!
In the cave in the belly of the mountain, the dark river flows, and the white milky stones flowing brightly hang down the mountain wall above. The spiritual milk dripped on the ground below, converging into a pool of natural spiritual milk.
The gray-haired monster came to the side of the spiritual milk pool, stared wide-eyed, and looked at the one-person-tall spirit tree in the pool full of hope, the spirit tree had withered at this time, and a crystal clear spirit fruit on the branch bloomed with a dazzling white light at this time!
The gray-haired monster trembled and stretched out its claws, carefully grasped the spirit fruit, and plucked it down. Holding the spirit fruit in the palm of his hand, the gray-haired monster whimpered and screamed, this is the treasure it has been waiting for for many years!
At the moment when the gray-haired monster burst into tears and handed the fruit into its mouth, in the darkness, a shadow suddenly burst out!
Bang!
The sound of the skull shattering echoed in the cave sky, the red and white contents splashed all over the ground, and the monster fell to the ground without even snorting, and the spirit fruit in its hand was firmly caught by a jet-black human palm!
"It turned out to be an old ape at the end of the crossbow, and no one is smart. ”
Tang Mian held the glowing fruit, looked at the white ape corpse and sighed.
What are you waiting for!?The appearance of the white ape's hope can be seen by Tang Mian in the dark, this spirit fruit must be a supreme treasure, and then thinking of the fact that there are cultivators in this world, Tang Mian's heart suddenly became hot, maybe this is the opportunity for him to escape from this place and become a monk!
"Will I fly directly to become an immortal?
Tang Mian's thinking began to diverge, but he came back to his senses in an instant, the white ape just had been caught by his praying mantis for too long, he couldn't make the same mistake!
As soon as he took a bite, the delicious juice of the spirit fruit flowed down his throat, and a refreshing fragrance made Tang Mian's soul flutter.
This beautiful feeling didn't exist for long, the juice entered Tang Mian's body and suddenly became hot, turning into some kind of strange energy and began to rampage unreasonably in Tang Mian's body, the skin became visible to the naked eye, and the burning pain made Tang Mian can't help but scream.
"!what's going on!?"
After a while, Tang Mian felt that powerful energy run into his brain, and he snorted and fell straight into the spiritual milk pool.
