Chapter 26: Underground Mines

The cave doesn't look huge from the outside, but the roads inside are well-connected.

Wang Hu casually found a mine cave, and felt that the evil aura inside was relatively strong, so he went into it.

While running, Wang Hu ran the Seven Evil Bone Refining Technique, and suddenly there were wisps of evil qi around him that continued to condense around him, and were slowly absorbed by his body.

Wang Hu's spirit was shocked, the secret path was really useful, it seemed that the Seven Evil Bone Refining Technique, which he had not been able to cultivate for a long time, was expected to cultivate here to the realm of Xiaocheng.

Looking back, he didn't feel the breath of the old Taoist priest for the time being, so Wang Hu slowed down a little and began to look around curiously.

There are traces of mining everywhere, and there are some dots of light flickering on some rock walls, these are the so-called falling star sand, as long as there is no light, the falling star sand will light up dazzlingly.

However, Wang Hu didn't have much interest in these spiritual materials for refining spiritual treasures, mainly because the quantity was too small and not very valuable, so Wang Hu was too lazy to get them!

Wang Hu couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seemed that his horizons had gradually risen! Before, he was a character who had to take away a steel knife! Now ordinary things are really not eye-catching.

With a little emotion, Wang Hu continued to move forward, this mine was built diagonally downward, and it was a little difficult to walk, but fortunately Wang Hu was a tiger, so it didn't look too slow.

After walking a few steps, Wang Hu suddenly stopped abruptly and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement ahead.

"What's wrong?" Mei Xin, who was riding on Wang Hu and was about to fall asleep, was suddenly awakened by Wang Hu's action, and raised her head sleepily and asked.

Wang Hu couldn't help but be depressed, this woman is very comfortable riding on herself, isn't it, her future is uncertain, and there are strong pursuers in the future, she can still fall asleep, she is really big-hearted!

In fact, this can't be blamed on Mei Xin, it is really too comfortable on Wang Hu's back, and there is an inexplicable sense of security, which makes Mei Xin, who has lived in fear for more than ten years, very nostalgic, and falls asleep unconsciously.

"I said you've ridden enough, come down when you've ridden enough, there's movement ahead, I'm going to change back into a human body!" Wang Hu rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"Oh! got it!" Mei Xin got off Wang Hu with some reluctance, stretched out her arms and stretched her waist, that look and posture were really amorous!

Wang Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva violently, the tiger's head shook violently, he was really afraid that he couldn't help it for a while, and threw this sultry woman to the ground.

With a flash of light, Wang Hu took a transformation pill again, and with a flash of light, Shi Shiran turned into his original appearance, compared to the tiger form, he is still more suitable for the current appearance, after all, he has been a human for eighteen years in his last life.

"Who is it?" At this moment, two vigilant shouts suddenly sounded in the distance, and then a string of torches came up from the depths, and looked at Wang Hu with vigilant eyes.

Wang Hu looked at these people, this was just a group of mortals, but seeing that their muscles were bulging and they walked silently, it looked like they should be strong in the mortal world.

"Who are you?" Wang Hu didn't bother to talk to them, and the spiritual pressure on his body was slightly revealed, and several people in front of him were taken aback, and they fell to their knees.

"Shangxian, we are the managers of the mining area, and now we are on guard on the perimeter to prevent the invasion of evil spirits!" a middle-aged man with a scarred face knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

Wang Hu frowned: "Evil spirits, are there a lot of evil spirits here?"

"Yes, the immortals, especially at night, the activities of the evil spirits are more rampant. The middle-aged man said respectfully.

Wang Hu nodded, glanced at Mei Xin and said, "Take me to your gathering place, and by the way, tell me about the gathering of evil qi in this mine!"

"Okay, Shangxian come with me!" Scarface looked respectful, and he didn't dare to take a second look at Wang Hu's flattery, looking extremely cautious.

From the conversation with Scarface, Wang Hu roughly figured out the situation in the mine.

The people who mine here are basically ordinary people, and the method adopted by Piaoxiangyuan is also to fend for themselves, bringing some ordinary people into mining here and leaving them to fend for themselves here.

As long as you regularly pay a certain amount of Falling Star Sand to the above, you can exchange it for a certain amount of food, water sources, as well as the Qingling Pill to prevent evil qi from entering the body, golden light talismans, and even if there is enough Falling Star Sand, you can also exchange it for some cultivation exercises and a small amount of resources.

To put it bluntly, this can be said to be a path for ordinary people to advance to the monk, of course, the process is more difficult.

Along the way, Wang Hu knew that she was worried about her parents, and because she cared, she didn't dare to ask easily, if there was still no trace of her parents here, then her parents would most likely be more than lucky!

The group soon came to a large hall in the middle of the mine, where torches were lit everywhere, and the entire mine was illuminated.

There are a number of low caves built around it, and almost every one of them is inhabited by miners.

These people have different expressions, some have bright eyes, as if they are full of hope for the future, and some are numb, obviously having lost hope in life.

Is this the life of ordinary people at the bottom of this world? Wang Hu couldn't help but sigh, it is indeed a world where the weak eat the strong!

Suddenly, there was a commotion in a stone cave next to him, and an old man was dragged out by several strong men and walked outside, the old man looked like he was sick, and his breath was very weak.

"Let go of my grandfather, let him go!" Behind the old man, a teenage and delicate-looking child pulled and dragged on several strong men, but his little arms and legs obviously had no effect at all, and one of the strong men kicked the boy down with a cold face: "Little cub, don't blame Lao Tzu, the Luoxingsha you handed in this month is only enough for one person to live here, and your grandfather gave it all to you, and he will be thrown out!"

"There's a demon out there, my grandfather will die!" the boy looked strong, wiped a handful of blood from his mouth, and stood up again: "You let my grandfather live here, I'll go out to live!"

"Hey, you kid is filial, okay! I want to see how you little cub live outside!" The leading man waved his hand, and several people carried the old man back to the stone room.

The little boy returned to the stone room without saying a word, fed his grandfather medicine, and walked outside: "Hmph! you take care of my grandfather, and when he wakes up, tell him that I will definitely come back!"

"Hey, little cub doesn't know how thick the sky is! I still want to live when I leave here, I really laugh to death. Several strong men sneered disdainfully, apparently not believing that he would survive leaving the cave.

Wang Hu didn't stop it, looking at the disappeared figure of the little boy, thoughtfully, it seems that this little guy is very confident, is there anything to rely on?

He knew that if ordinary people didn't have any protection, the chances of surviving the attack of the demons were almost zero.

"Shangxian, let you laugh, this is also a helpless thing, we have to do things according to the rules, otherwise there is really no way to maintain it here!" Scarface looked at Wang Hu worriedly, looking very afraid that Wang Hu would suddenly be kind enough to save the child.

Wang Hu smiled noncommittally and didn't speak, he naturally wouldn't be nosy, and this boy had already made him a little interested, so he naturally wanted to see how he could survive later.

Turning her head to look at Mei Xin, she has been looking here since the beginning, obviously trying to find her parents here, but depending on the situation, I am afraid that she did not find it.

Wang Hu's heart moved, and he turned his head and asked the scarface, "How many gathering places like this are there here?"

"About a dozen! each one is about the same number as us!" Scarface stood beside Wang Hu and was very apprehensive, the key point was that until now he still didn't know what Wang Hu's purpose was here!

"Xin'er, you just stay here and look for your parents! If you don't have it here, maybe it will be in other gathering places!" "I'll go first to find the source of the evil qi, and then see if there is any other exit!" Wang Hu pondered for a while, and decided to temporarily separate from Meixin, as long as this underground mine is not too deep, the only one who can pose a danger to Meixin is the old Taoist, but the old Taoist's goal is obviously himself, as long as he leaves, Meixin will basically be safe.

And what he is going to below is the deep underground where the evil qi is strong, and the Seven Evil Bone Refining Techniques he has cultivated have a suppressive effect on the evil qi, but Mei Xin can't resist the evil qi, and I'm afraid it will be a little unsafe to follow it again.

Mei Xin hesitated for a moment and nodded, she was really worried about her parents now, and Wang Hu was obviously going to practice some kind of exercises, and it was not appropriate for her to follow her.
