Chapter 1596 Bloody Disaster
After Ji Tianxing's reminder, Zheng Rong and Wu Xu all realized that there was a problem with the mine.
The three of them were a little worried, and asked Ji Tianxing whether they knew the inside story.
Ji Tianxing didn't say much, just gave a few words of advice.
"Since several commanders and the four protectors have issued a gag order, this matter must be of great importance.
Before investigating clearly, we can't speculate out of thin air, otherwise we will be severely punished by the commander and the four guardians.
Everyone just needs to take strict precautions, and we will talk about this matter later.
The top priority, we have to mine enough spirit stones and gems as soon as possible to complete the tasks stipulated above. "
All three of them understood what Ji Tianxing meant.
Unknown dangers and disasters do not necessarily come or happen when.
However, if they fail to complete the task, they will be severely punished by Commander Ding two days later.
This is a real threat.
Soon, Wu Xu, Bai Kaixuan and Zheng Rong devoted themselves to the mining of the vein.
They tried every means to appease the miners, all kinds of coercion and temptation, forcing them to mine the veins.
Of course, they themselves were not idle, and they all tried their best to join the mining queue.
Even, in order to speed up the mining of spirit stones, they did not hesitate to use some secret methods.
All of a sudden, the huge mine was busy, and there were "jingling, jingling" sounds everywhere.
Ji Tianxing didn't rest, while digging for spirit stones and gems, he observed the situation in the mine.
Whether it's dark potholes, deep cracks, or messy stone clumps, he has carefully checked them all.
In several hidden corners, he found some clues.
There were a few blood-stained rags, and a few strands of hair.
Using his spiritual sense, he carefully examined these rags and hair, and came to a conclusion.
This is the trace left by some miners before they died. There is a very faint breath on it, which makes him feel a little familiar.
There is no doubt that that kind of breath that seems to be absent is exactly the breath of the demons.
Only he who knows the demons very well can sense it.
It would be impossible for anyone in the God Mine to recognize it.
This discovery made his heart heavy, and his eyes shone brightly.
"At present, most of the miners and supervisors who died one after another were killed by the demons.
I really didn't expect that after the ancestor demon god gained a firm foothold in the Shenwu Continent, his power expanded so quickly.
In the past, two blood god sons intercepted and killed me halfway, and now there are demons making trouble in the god mine, massacring the miners wantonly. "
In fact, he also understands that the Glacier God Mine is very remote and the underground mines are very complicated, which is the most suitable place for the demons to make trouble here.
Especially those miners who have the strength of Tianyuan Realm and Soul Refining Realm.
For the Demon Race and the Blood God Son, these people are the best supplements, allowing them to quickly improve their strength.
This is simply a paradise for the demons!
However, as the nemesis of the demons, he came to the Glacier God Mine.
The demons who are making trouble in secret are about to die!
...
Before I knew it, the whole day passed.
In the middle of the night, more than two hundred miners were exhausted and listless.
Ji Tianxing ordered the miners to rest at midnight and resume mining tomorrow morning.
When the miners heard this, their eyes immediately lit up, showing expressions of joy and gratitude.
In the past, they were forced to work day and night by their supervisors, and they could not be negligent, or they would be whipped.
They often have to work hard for twenty-eight days and nights before they can rest for two days.
Ji Tianxing was so kind, and immediately won the favor of many miners.
Everyone stopped working one after another, gathered in groups of three or four, huddled in every corner of the mine, sleeping together in their clothes.
Zheng Rong, Wu Xu, and Bai Kaixuan also came to Ji Tianxing's side one after another, and sat on the millstone with him to discuss the next plan.
"Ke Lan, although those miners are working very hard and look a little pitiful, we can't let them rest!"
"I have already counted them just now, and today all of us mined a total of more than 3,000 pieces of spirit stones and more than 30 pieces of gemstones.
At this speed, Commander Ding will come to check tomorrow night, we will definitely not be able to complete the task! "
"Ke Lan, we just came to the mining area, the first time we supervised the work, we couldn't complete the task.
With the temperament of Commander Ding, he will definitely punish us severely and kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys! "
All three were worried and anxious.
Zheng Rong frowned, and said depressedly: "Before I was thinking, if we can't complete the task, we should each take out some spirit stones and hand them in when we have enough.
But Commander Ding wants raw ores of spirit stones and gemstones, so he doesn't know if we can pay for the finished products? "
While speaking, he took out two gray Qiankun bags and handed them to Ji Tianxing.
These two bags contained the results of everyone's hard work for a day.
Among them, there are more than 3,000 pieces of raw ore of Lingshi and more than 30 pieces of raw ore of gemstones.
Ji Tianxing didn't bother to count them, so he just put the Qiankun bag away, and said solemnly: "Everyone, don't worry, we'll just work harder tomorrow.
If it is really impossible to complete the task, just do as Zheng Rong said, and ask Commander Ding to accommodate.
Everyone work hard tonight, try to cheer up and pay attention to the movement in the mine at any time. "
The three of them nodded in agreement, and then dispersed to the corners of the mine, looking for hidden places to meditate and adjust their breath.
Ji Tianxing sat in a cluster of rocks, meditating with his eyes closed.
There are jagged boulders around him and above his head, blocking him very tightly, and you won't find it if you don't look carefully.
It was late at night, the light in the mine was dim, and it was very quiet.
Only some miners' grunts and low whispers flowed in the night air.
Before I knew it, it was Yinshi in the early morning.
This is the darkest hour before dawn and the sleepiest time of day.
Wu Xu and Bai Kaixuan secretly monitored the movement of the mine for most of the night.
Seeing that the dawn was coming and there was nothing abnormal in the mine overnight, the three of them relaxed their vigilance.
But at this moment, in the southeast corner of the mine, a dark red blood light appeared silently.
That strange bloody light emerged from a pitch-black crack and spread across the ground like flowing water.
No one noticed the abnormality.
After just a few breaths, the blood light spread to a large millstone.
On the boulder lay three miners in ragged clothes, curled up to rest, their consciousness drowsy.
Suddenly, blood light spread silently, covering the three of them.
Wherever covered by the blood light, no matter the skin, flesh or clothes, they all corroded and cracked quickly, turning into black ash.
The three of them woke up suddenly, their eyes widened in horror, and they opened their mouths in horror to call for help.
But they were shrouded in blood, and they could neither make a sound nor move at all.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them were drained of blood energy and soul by the blood light, turning into a shriveled, scorched corpse.
Like being on fire.
