In the early morning of the next day, there was a row of five people standing outside the door of Zhangjialou, three with six layers of gas refining, and two with five layers of gas refining, thinking that they were the elite children of the Zhang family. Presumably, the Zhang family also wants to take this opportunity to let their own disciples learn from the disciples of the sect and become Yunfan.

They knew that Cheng Yunfan was sent here, and the Zhang family was far away from the sect, so they could only go to the sect to pay tribute and receive things once a year, or stop in the fang market, where they could know the decline of the sect.

These five people are all very young, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and the youngest one is estimated to be about the same age as Cheng Yunfan, leading the team Lu Mo and deputy leader Liu Gang. Arrange everything and set off on your way.

Due to the different cultivation of the five people, it is inevitable that Edgeworth's flight will be fast and slow, so as not to delay the effort. Cheng Yunfan then took out the Zongmen Cloud Boat and beckoned them to take the Cloud Boat to go faster.

"Senior Brother Zongmen, aren't you coming up?" Lu Mo asked curiously.

This cloud boat carries five people, it is almost the same, Cheng Yunfan doesn't want to be crowded with them, in addition, he also wants to fly with the sword, and wait a little, don't think that if he shows a low level of cultivation, he can disobey discipline and wantonly interfere with right and wrong, then they will miscalculate.

"You set out, and I can follow. Over there, Lu Mo had just urged Yunzhou to take off into the air, and Cheng Yunfan also shot out the Chixiao Sword, and the sword flew, and a red light flashed, and it was already gone.

Seeing that everyone on the boat was stunned, and at the same time secretly envious, he was also shocked that this sect senior brother must have hidden his cultivation, and maybe he had already completed his qi training.

Lu Mo didn't dare to hesitate, urging Yunzhou to follow the red shadow, Cheng Yunfan deliberately slowed down, waiting for them, but kept a distance, so as not to be lost.

In this way, it is not enough to make tea, and then it will be to the mining area.

Cheng Yunfan fell outside the mine array first, Lu Mo and others also came down from the cloud boat, Cheng Yunfan recited the mantra, received the cloud boat, and saw Lu Mo play the transmission note, and later saw two Zhang family disciples come out of the array.

When the two disciples of the Zhang family saw Yun Fan, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with their fists. His expression was very respectful, and he said, "It's the senior brother of the sect who is guarding the mine, and the disciple Song Ping, Lu Dahai is here to see!"

Yun Fan saw that the two of them were cultivating, one refining qi at the sixth level, and the other refining qi at the fifth level, and knew that the two of them should be the leaders of the disciples of the Zhang family who were currently stationed in this Great Wilderness Mountain Spirit Stone Mine.

However, the two are not young, and the hope of building a foundation is very slim.

"The two juniors are exempt. Perform the mission on the order of the sect and assist the juniors and disciples to garrison. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Ping made a gesture, and the other three disciples also came out and saluted again, and then Song Ping and Lu Dahai handed over the task to Lu Mo and Liu Gang.

Then, Song Ping showed a relieved look on his face and said, "In this way, junior brother and our party will go down the mountain." ”

"Good walk, stay safe on the road. Cheng Yunfan nodded.

"Thank you brother for reminding me, everything is business as usual on this mountain. After Song Ping finished speaking, he took someone to say goodbye.

Lu Mo and Liu Gang led the way and took Cheng Yunfan into the mine protection array. These two people seem to have guarded before, so they are very familiar with the situation, and everything is according to plan.

Cheng Yunfan found that the entire spiritual ore was located in the middle of the mountainside of the mountain. Halfway up the mountainside, there is a large hall, and there are some buildings scattered next to it, for the disciples of the mine to rest and stay.

Spirit ore mining is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, if it is not good, it will cause the spiritual energy in the spirit ore to dissipate and become a waste product, so this is also a very proficient job, just like a talisman refiner, it is not a good cultivation that can be done well.

Therefore, the general immortal cultivation sect also sent those Qi refining stage disciples who had no future and mediocre qualifications to take on the work of mining. In the heyday of this great wilderness mountain spiritual mine, there were even foundation building monks stationed in the heyday, and later the spiritual mine was gradually exhausted, and the sect withered, and now there are only five or six disciples stationed here in the Zhang family's qi refining period. Other than that, it's the low-level ordinary miners.

This mine produces a mineral deposit called igneous crystal, which is mainly used to refine fire attribute magic weapons. The value can be high or low, Cheng Yunfan arranged many matters, and handed over all the usual chores of this spiritual mine to the Zhang family's leading monk as usual, and he was only responsible for safety.

After letting the two team leaders disperse on their own, they came to the top of the mountain to see the cave where they were going to stay.

It is no different from the cave house rented by the sect, and he is ready to practice after arranging the Seven Absolute Mystery Array.

For the rest of the month, everything went according to plan, and nothing happened. Cheng Yunfan is also very at ease and comfortable practicing here.

Occasionally, I also refine some low-level pills, thinking that I will sell them in the Heavenly Workshop in the future, and then I will practice the Forging Divine Technique, the Body Quenching Technique, and the Great Sun Fusang Sword Technique.

Such a comfortable day was slowly interrupted from the three months of guarding the mine.

Lu Mo and Liu Gang always sent messages every once in a while, saying that there were miners missing, Cheng Yunfan didn't care at first, and later went to investigate twice, but found that there were traces of demon beasts, so they immediately summoned the head of the Zhang family, hoping that he would send additional people to investigate together, although the missing miners were all miners, but it was not a way to go on like this.

Some of the miners are already panicking, and if they don't make a good scene, they will go on strike.

Within two days, the head of the Zhang family lined up a disciple of the eighth-level cultivation of qi refining and brought another team of people up the mountain to investigate the situation together, and the other four all had seventh-level cultivation of qi refining.

"Zhang Tao, Zhang Po. ”

"Zhang Feng, Zhang Jue. ”

"I've seen the senior brother of the sect. ”

Cheng Yunfan said a few polite words, and then went straight to the point: "The specific situation Lu Mo and Liu Gang have experienced it, let them talk about it." Once we know that, let's go and find out. ”

What happened, Liu Gang and Lu Mo quickly said everything.

After hearing this, several people all looked different, and finally Zhang Tao, who was the leader of the team, said: "Everything is based on the orders of the senior brother of the sect, and we will listen to the orders of the senior brother." ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yunfan did not shirk it. I wanted to find out the situation as soon as possible so that I could continue my practice, so I planned to lead a team to investigate deeply.

"What kind of demon beast is it, can they see it clearly?" Cheng Yunfan asked Lu Mo.

"The monster is extremely fast, and the mine is very dark. The miners had only encountered it twice, but they didn't see it clearly. Lu Mo said, "Afterwards, let's go down and check, judging from the traces left by the demon beast, it should be some kind of rat with a large size." ”

"Rats?"

Rats are not very large, and this type of monster beast is usually timid, and rarely takes the initiative to attack humans.

"Yes, we brought a few miners who are proficient in hunting down to see it, and they think so too. ”

"So, have you tracked it?"

"Naturally, there is tracking. "It's just that those traces eventually lead to the old mine deep in the mine, and we don't dare to trespass, so we ......."

"It's getting late, and a few juniors and disciples have just gone up the mountain, rest for one night, and investigate together tomorrow. After listening to Lu Mo's story, Cheng Yunfan didn't say anything, and ordered them to disperse.

Cheng Yunfan habitually set up a shielding circle outside the cave mansion and began to sit upright and cultivate.

By the time he returned to the cave, the black fox had quietly dived underground, heading for a nearby mine.

According to the distribution map of the underground mine given by Lu Mo, it took the black fox nearly half an hour to find the location of the demon beast for the first time. Cheng Yunfan has been separating a wisp of divine consciousness to connect with the black fox. As he requested, the black fox took a turn around the area, and soon found the entrance to an old mine not far away.

Participating in the exploration of the black fox with his divine sense for a long time made Cheng Yunfan feel a little difficult. He simply withdrew his consciousness and let the black fox slowly look for clues on his own.

Before I knew it, it was the middle of the night. At this time, there was a fluctuation in the divine consciousness, and the message from the black fox.

There is a discovery!

Cheng Yunfan looked with the help of the black fox's divine sense, and saw that there was a hole on the wall of a cave in the old mine.

The entrance to the cave is so large that it is almost the same as a man-dug mine. However, there were two points that caught Cheng Yunfan's attention, the first is that this hole is very round. Its height is lower than that of artificially excavated mines, but it is not narrow, almost a round hole. Secondly, the walls of this cave are very smooth, and it seems that something is often used in and out.

"Go in and take a look, be careful. Cheng Yunfan looked at this hole, and he had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart. Such a big hole, if it is really a rat hole, then how big will the demon rats here be?

The black fox dived into the stone layer and slowly dived deeper into the hole.

Cheng Yunfan put away the exercises and increased the output of his divine consciousness to the black fox. With the help of the existence of the black fox, he slowly spread his divine consciousness around the black fox. Soon, there was a discovery.

Just a dozen zhang in front of the black fox, branches began to appear at the entrance of the cave. And in one of the branches, two huge demon rats are running quickly, all with fiery red fur, shiny oil, it is actually a fire cloud rat, this fire cloud rat can also be regarded as a mutation in the spirit seeking rat.

There is a record in "Foreign Objects", and Cheng Yunfan only knew it.

The black fox followed all the way, but unfortunately these rat paths extend in all directions underground, and their scale is still far above the artificially excavated mines. Cheng Yunfan found that the places where these rat paths passed were actually the places where the ore veins extended, and all kinds of copper ores could be seen everywhere on the walls of the rat paths. Cheng Yunfan wondered, is it that these demon beasts also like to devour certain ores?

If that's the case, I'm afraid it's even more tricky. No matter what kind of demon beast, as long as it has the ability to devour minerals, it is usually not easy to deal with.

As I continued to move forward, there were more and more fire cloud rats walking through the rat path. Cheng Yunfan repeatedly told the black fox to be careful and not to be discovered by them.

Cheng Yunfan's divine sense has never stopped perceiving his surroundings, so that once there is an abnormality, he can be the first to detect it and notify the black fox to flee. At this time, in his perception, two huge fire cloud rats suddenly stopped not far in front of the black fox.

"Don't move. Cheng Yunfan immediately asked the black fox to stop.

The two fire cloud rats chattered to each other, not knowing what they were talking about. Cheng Yunfan quietly observed their posture and size, judging their combat effectiveness. In some of the records that Cheng Yunfan has read, it is not small that the rat demon can be three feet long. But the body length of the two fire cloud rats in front of them, not counting the tails, has reached a zhang.

When Cheng Yunfan was shocked, the two giant rats suddenly screamed, and they actually suddenly launched an attack on the cave wall on one side!
