Pei Zheng's expression was solemn, his lips were pursed, his steps were tight, and his thick figure was like a sensitive tanuki in this passage, moving forward quickly.

The spiral passage is like a labyrinth that never ends, simple and boring.

Turning one turn after another, Pei Zheng's facial expression is still like a stone carving, even if the temperature around him has risen to an unbearable level for an ordinary person, even if the corners of his clothes have been scalded by the surrounding high temperature air currents and began to roll up, his expression is still the same, in his indifferent heart wrapped in the appearance of a 10,000-year-old glacier, it is already churning, like a rock flow in the underground fire vein, rushing endlessly.

It's an underground fire vein!

How much is the value, there is no need for him to elaborate, the four major smelting families of the Great Jin Dynasty, Wu Pei Luo Jian, each has its own characteristics, each has its own backer, in hundreds of years of struggle and compromise, a balance that is not too solid has been formed, the strength of the four families, some are strong and some are weak, but there is not much difference, none of them dares to say that they will be able to destroy the other, and even complete suppression is impossible, even the underground fire veins cannot change all this.

Among the four families, none of them really have an underground fire vein, and the underground fire vein in front of him cannot be owned by any of the four families, which even Jin Nanqing can see very clearly, let alone him Pei Zheng.

Even so, he still had to come, not for anything else, even if it was just for the possibility of getting the spirit stone of the fire surname here, it was also worth his trip, the news that Zhonghe County had found the underground fire vein had just come out for four days, and the lost Zhonghe County had just returned to the hands of the Great Jin Dynasty, judging from the consistent efficiency of the Great Jin Dynasty, four days was not enough for it to react, and now, this underground fire vein is still in a vacuum period, and anyone who can enter it can get benefits from it.

The only thing he feared now was that he was too late.

Four days is just a matter of breathing for the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, but for the greedy people in the martial arts, it is enough to do a lot of things.

In addition to worrying, there is also news that makes him happy, such as the fire poison in the depths of the underground fire vein, unless it is cultivated above the third grade, otherwise if you go in, there is only a dead end.

This is good news, within a radius of thousands of miles from Zhonghe County, there are not many people who have reached the third grade, even if they have reached the third grade, at most they are only interested in those fire spirit stones inside, even if they are lucky enough to really find the spirit stones, they will eventually sell them, and the Pei family is not short of this money.

Besides, even if they have cultivated to the third grade, or even the fourth or fifth grade, they may not dare to come in.

Because today he heard a ridiculous news, Xiao Ming King of the Fire Xuan Sect advanced to the Nine Rank Realm in this underground fire vein, and killed the king snake of Tianlong Dao in the underground fire vein, and for a while, public opinion was in an uproar, of course, this is only limited to the entire Zhonghe County, because this news just came out yesterday.

Very strange news, in normal times, after hearing this news, others may laugh at it, but now, it seems to be a little different, because this underground fire vein was discovered by people who worship the fire Xuanjiao, so they planned a rebellion that seems very nonsensical to most intelligent people, occupying this Zhonghe county town located in the hinterland of the Great Jin Dynasty, which is not dangerous to defend, even now, the underground fire vein has been exploded, and many people are still puzzled, because the fire worship Xuan Sect does not lack the underground fire vein, Xiao Ming Wang is the youngest venerable in the sect, and it is also the most promising strong man, when to rely on an underground fire vein located in the hinterland of the Great Jin Dynasty to improve cultivation？

This is completely a thing that outweighs the loss, although the value of an underground fire vein is great, it is not worth the loss of the fire worship Xuanjiao this time, because everyone knows that this fire vein has been discovered, and the final owner must be the Great Jin Dynasty, and the behavior of Zoroastrianism is equivalent to spending a huge price to make wedding clothes for the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is a clear loss-making transaction, if you don't know, you will really think that Zoroastrianism and the Great Jin Dynasty are a family!

Of course, Pei Zheng couldn't care about this, and he wasn't very interested in the purpose of the Fire Worship Xuan Sect!

But there is one fact that he can't ignore it, Wang Snake and a group of people from the Ziwu Battalion entered the underground fire vein three days ago, and they haven't come out yet.

This is the crux of the matter, although in the past few days, people have entered the huge passage to the fire vein one after another, and some people have come out one after another, and some of the situation about this underground fire vein has also begun to become clear, because it is full of fire poison, so, most of the people in the martial arts camp who followed the king snake into at the beginning have died, their bodies are lying in the passage, only a small number of people who are familiar with the corpses have been carried out, as for the other corpses, I am afraid that they will have to wait until the Great Jin Dynasty takes over this fire vein in the future!

The life of a martial artist is like this, full of contradictions, on the one hand, the strength is enough, they can rely on their own strength, with their hands to lay down a piece of their own sky, grab infinite wealth, on the other hand, the strength is not enough, they will face the helplessness and sorrow of dying at any time.

The existence of the king snake is a trouble, Pei Zheng doesn't want to cause this trouble, but as an elder who is closest to the Pei family's bottom fire vein, he can't help but come, even if it's just to make a gesture, he must come!

Suddenly there was a faint tremor in the quiet passage, so slight that it was hard to notice.

Pei Zheng's thick eyebrows frowned, he was a master of the five grades, and his five senses were already extremely keen, and the air around him could not hide from him even if it was a slight abnormality.

"Someone, it seems to be hurt!"

This thought flashed in his heart, and the advancing figure paused slightly, and slowly disappeared to a dark place on the edge of the passage, and after about a pillar of incense, two figures walked out from the passage.

"Jian Yulei?!" With the faint light in the passage, Pei Zheng saw the appearance of the two clearly, a man in his thirties, holding a sturdy old man of about fifty, walking out with some difficulty.

"And Jian Yu, they were injured, who injured them, could it be the king snake!"

Looking at the two backs that were gradually moving away, Pei Zheng's thick eyebrows wrinkled even tighter.

Jian Yulei and Jian Yu are both members of the Jian family, and the Jian family, like the Pei family and the Wu family, belongs to one of the four major smelting families of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Jian Yulei is also the elder of the Jian family, his cultivation is one grade lower than him, the peak of the fourth grade, Jian Yu, who is carrying him outward, is the master of the younger generation of the Jian family, at a young age, his cultivation has reached the third grade, and it is said that he will soon be able to impact the bone forging realm.

Looking at the situation of the two of them, this appearance, it is obvious that they were beaten out by others.

"Could it be that the king snake is really inside, and it is still domineering this underground fire vein?!" Pei Zheng flashed an ominous premonition in his mind, after the two people of the Jian family disappeared around the corner of the passage, they leaned out from the shadows on the edge of the passage, groaned slightly, and continued to walk forward, no matter what was ahead, they had to move forward, anyway, it was definitely not a Longtan tiger's den, the two guys of the Jian family could come out alive, and of course there would be no problem with themselves.

Half an hour later, he saw several more people coming out of the depths of the passage, their faces were equally ashen and wounded, and among them was an elder of another smelting family, the Luo family.

"Pei Luo Jianwu, including me, three of the four major smelting families have appeared, so what about the Wu family? I heard that they were in the martial arts camp at the beginning, and there was a kid who also made the first contribution in breaking the city, and I don't know if he survived in this fire vein, thirteen-year-old Sanpin, if it weren't for those few children from the Wu family who were talking nonsense, then, this time, the one who got the biggest benefit was probably the Wu family!"

Pei Zheng went over all the news he had gotten in the past few days in his heart, and he felt a little emotion in his heart, but before he could finish his emotion, his footsteps stopped.

This was a corner of the underground passage, very narrow, much narrower than the thick passage he had just passed, so narrow that only two or three people could pass side by side, and in the center of the passage sat a very young man, twelve or thirteen years old, with a very delicate face and a gentle smile.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the passage, with two silver hammers in front of him, his hair was a little scattered, his breath was not so calm, with a strange expression, he looked at himself and said with a smile, the most important thing is that this young man's cultivation is three products!

"Are you...... Zhou Leopard!"

Very easily, from his own mind, Pei Zheng searched out the information of this young man, after all, this kid's performance in the last siege battle of Zhonghe County was too eye-catching, his age, his strength, can provide enough talking points for the gossip of the rivers and lakes, not to mention that Zhonghe County has just been captured, this topic is still very hot.

"Zhou Bao, a disciple of the Wu family, have seen his predecessors!" The little leopard smiled slightly, and it was not unusual for the majestic middle-aged man in front of him to know his identity, half of the people who came here in the past two days knew who they were after taking a look at themselves, it was obvious that he was very famous outside now, but unfortunately, he was trapped in this damn passage, otherwise, he wouldn't mind going out to enjoy the legendary young man treatment.

"At such a young age, I already have such cultivation, I'm not as good as you!" Pei Zheng said, "The Wu family has a talent like you, not staying in the headquarters like a baby, but letting you out and trespassing, either Wu Yansheng's head is broken, or he just wants to abolish you!"

The little leopard smiled, he didn't care about this kind of words that obviously sow discord, you know, this time it was not the family's intention to come out of the Wu family to carry out the mission, but his master won it for him, the purpose is even more unspeakable, but it will never be to abolish himself.

"Who are you?!" the little leopard asked, in a gentle tone.

"Pei family, Pei Zheng!"

The little leopard nodded lightly and pointed behind him, "Do you want to go over?!"

"That's the purpose of my trip!"

"Kill me, and you'll be in!"

"Little friend, I admit that you are very good and very strong, you have reached the third grade at a young age, but you are not strong enough to stop me!"

"So...... Give it a try!" the little leopard said gently, and with his gentle voice, it suddenly burst out like a fiery momentum, surging towards Pei Zheng like waves of the angry sea.
