After a day and a night of flying, everyone finally arrived in the Sky Wolf Valley in a patch of yellow sand.

Compared to the rest of the people's calm and relaxed, Junci was so tired that he panted like a dog. There is no other reason, everyone else flew over from the sky, but he ran over on two legs under the instruction of Ji.

Seeing that Jun Ci was sweating profusely and hanging down his waist and couldn't breathe, Xiao Pojun stepped forward and asked with concern: "Senior brother, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, I'll just rest. Jun Ci straightened up and took out the Qinghong Spiritual Liquid from the Qiankun bag and poured a big mouthful, the pores on his body were like a steam engine with a valve open, and white smoke was emitted.

"Senior brother, why are you so suffering?" Xiao Pojun said with a smile.

"You don't understand the pain of a practitioner. Junci wiped the sweat from his face and teased himself.

Jun Ci, who was relieved, simply glanced around at the wind-filled Sky Wolf Valley, and said loudly: "Everyone works in pairs, cross-guard at the position of the valley entrance, and if you find an abnormality, you must detonate the warning charm as soon as possible." ”

"Obey the decree of Senior Brother!" everyone agreed.

Seeing the tacit division of labor and cooperation between the younger brothers and sisters, Junci nodded approvingly, looked back at the three outer hall deacons who had been waiting for a long time, and said, "Who is responsible here?"

The clean-faced man standing at the head of the three saw Jun Ci's gestures, a picture of the breath of a superior person, swallowed his saliva, took a step and saluted respectfully: "Tang Ren greets Uncle Shi." ”

"How's the situation with the spirit veins?" Jun Ci went straight to the point, without the slightest nonsense.

"The mining work of Lingshi Mine is being carried out in an orderly manner, and the results are gratifying. Speaking of this, Tang Ren couldn't help but feel a little complacent, originally he didn't pass the general election of the Ling Xiao Sword Sect, according to the usual practice, he had to serve in the Ling Xiao Sword Sect's stronghold outside for three years before he could become an introductory disciple. But now that he has made great contributions to the sect, I believe that it will not be long before he will receive the commendation of the master, and it is very likely that it will be the number of disciples of the four academies.

"Take me to the mines. Hearing that everything was safe and sound, Junci finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Shi, please come with me. Tang Ren ran two steps quickly, bowed forward and led the way.

The mountain road of the Heavenly Wolf Valley is steep, the terrain is rugged, and it is named because the mountain rocks have been corrupted by wind and sand all the year round, and the shape is like the wolf howling moon.

After many twists and turns, Jun Ci and the others finally found the entrance to the spirit stone mine in a pile of rubble.

After walking along the damp cave for hundreds of meters, a crypt with a circle of 100 feet and a depth of about 1,000 meters appeared in front of Jun Ci.

A narrow stream winds its way down to the bottom, and the sound of shovels hitting the rock wall can be heard from the darkness.

Jun Ci frowned, and threw out dozens of golden light talismans in one go, illuminating the dim cavern.

Driving out the darkness, Junci was greeted by more than a thousand ragged middle-aged men shirtless, sweating and beating the rock wall with shovels.

"Why don't you use your supernatural powers to mine spiritual veins, and let these ordinary people work as coolies here?" Jun Ci's voice was a little cold, as if he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Uncle Hui, the texture of these rough stones is very fragile, and if they crack slightly, their aura will be lost and become a waste stone, so they can only be mined by hand. And these people are all willing to come to mine the spiritual veins, not only do they have food and shelter here, but we also pay them a good amount of money every month. Tang Ren saw Junci's anger and hurriedly explained.

Hearing Tang Ren say this, Jun Ci's face paleated slightly, and his tone softened a little: "Be kind to them, if they want to leave, don't leave behind." ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi. Tang Ren hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Looking at the truckloads of rough stones transported from the depths of the earth through the floating cloud ladder, Jun Ci asked curiously, "How many spirit stones can this spirit stone spirit vein produce every day?"

"A thousand carts of rough stones can be produced here every day, and after special processing, the spiritual energy is infused into the ovules, and 100,000 spirit stones can be obtained, and the mining capacity of the entire spirit stone mine can last for about a hundred years. Tang Ren cheered up and replied.

"One hundred thousand spirit stones a day, three million spirit stones in a month, and thirty-six million in a year. Jun Ci silently calculated the number of rough stones that could be mined in the entire spiritual vein, and couldn't help but be shocked.

After having a preliminary understanding of the importance of the spiritual vein, Junci sent Tang Ren and them away, climbed to the highest peak of the Heavenly Wolf Valley, sat cross-legged at the position of the 'wolf head', and extended his divine sense in all directions, sensing those life forms lurking underground in the wind and sand that could not see.

Seven or eight days have passed in the blink of an eye, and everything is operating normally in the Heavenly Wolf Valley, and many disciples of the Demon Academy can't help but relax, waiting for the arrival of the elite of the Divine Beast Academy in a good mood.

If everything goes well, in a few days, everyone will be able to return to their teachers and receive valuable merit points.

In the entire Heavenly Wolf Valley, probably only Junci's mood was diametrically opposed to everyone else.

"Senior brother, you've been sitting here for several days, go down and rest for a while, and I'll replace you. Xiao Pojun, who had climbed to the top of the peak, looked at Junci's somewhat tired figure and persuaded him.

"I'm fine, the Divine Beast Academy will send someone to hand over in a few days, and you inform everyone not to let their guard down. Junci took the water bag handed over by Xiao Pojun and poured a big sip of it, and suddenly felt a lot more energetic.

"Senior brother, this place is deserted, the birds don't here, and it has been calm for the past few days, are you too nervous. Seeing Junci tightening a string, Xiao Pojun smiled a little disappreciatively.

"I hope so, but it's our first time on duty, and I hope to get the job done. You ask everyone to hold on for a few more days, and as soon as the disciples of the Divine Beast Academy arrive, we can retire with success. Jun Ci looked at the rolling yellow sand in the void with charming eyes, and looked a little insincere.

"Why don't you tell him the truth?" When Xiao Pojun's figure walked down the mountain, Zhihai couldn't help but ask.

"Many juniors and sisters are on duty for the first time and don't have any actual combat experience, if you tell them the truth now, it will only make them nervous. Junci sighed and said with a wry smile.

"That's right, your new classmates are all rookies, and when you meet this kind of bandit who is full of killing and licking blood from the knife, it is estimated that you won't be able to last a round. He pursed his mouth very much, and seemed to look down on Junci's junior brothers and sisters.

"Are these 'mine bandits' you said really so powerful?" Jun Ci said in amazement, and his words gave him a new understanding of his situation.

"Legend has it that these 'mine bandits' are composed of some extremely vicious loose cultivators, they are extremely mobile, they miss a single blow, they travel thousands of miles, and they do all one-time transactions. In addition, the original stones they stole were invaluable, which also gave them sufficient resources to improve their cultivation. It is precisely because of this that these people often give some cultivators who have spiritual veins a headache but are helpless. "Ji seems to know the details of the enemy in the distance, and he can't keep his mouth shut as soon as he opens the conversation.

"Hey, how do you know so clearly?" asked Jun Ci with a playful expression.

"Ahem, ahem。。。。。 I used to spend a long time in the bag of a famous mine bandit in Kyushu. He coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

"Why don't you strike first, but give the other party time to assemble?" Seeing that his disgraceful past was revealed, he quickly changed the topic.

Jun Ci looked at the 'mine bandits' who were resting and recuperating dozens of miles away through clairvoyance, and said in a cold voice: "While I give the other party time to complete the assembly, why not buy time for myself. ”

"You mean... Ji seemed to understand Junci's intentions.

"Now we just have to wait for the bait to be released, and we can close the net. There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Junci's mouth.
