The sky in Beishan Mine is always gray, and there is no sunshine all year round. The people locked in the mine have long been accustomed to this kind of dullness and depression.
The road along the mining area is covered with dust and gravel. Due to the long mining time, the depth from the ground to the bottom of the pit has exceeded hundreds of feet.
At this time, the jackal standing on the edge of a huge mine was lowering his head to explore the bottom of the pit. In the mine under his feet, apart from the torches burning at intervals like long snakes, there were only countless people who were always digging tirelessly. of mine slaves.
Due to the special environment of Beishan Mine, there is no distinction between day and night. Therefore, the owner of the mine has the final say on when to get up to work, when to eat and rest.
The owner of the Beishan Mine is standing behind Jackal at the moment. This middle-aged man with a steady expression and a restrained aura is Zhou Cang, the owner of the Beishan Mine who sits under the sky.
Jackal and Zhou Cang have known each other for nearly a hundred years. I remember that when Jackal first entered the heaven, after he finally joined the predator organization after all his efforts, he succeeded in hunting for the first time and came to the Beishan mine to hand in ore. It was Zhou Cang who took over the deal when he was a slave. At that time, he was just a small boss in the mine.
Time flies. In less than a hundred years, one of them has been in charge of the Beishan Mine for more than ten years, and the other will also become the leader of the Predator Organization. The two people who were still struggling in the past finally have their own power.
But few people know that the relationship between Zhou Cang and Jackal is not just a superficial partnership, but in fact they have a life-long friendship.
If Jackal can only trust one person in the entire heaven, then that person must be Zhou Cang, and of course Zhou Cang only believes in Jackal. As for why, no one knows.
"I didn't expect you to get rid of him so smoothly, without even suffering any fatal injuries. Therefore, the two fourth-level alchemists I invited in advance look a bit stupid now."
"No, you did this just to be safe, but I want to know what you would do if I didn't come back alive?" Jackal didn't look back, but he could guess Zhou Cang's expression because they were so familiar with each other. .
The corners of Zhou Cang's mouth were slightly raised.
"I will find your body."
"Then what?"
"Then buried it." After hearing this, Jackal sighed softly and laughed.
"You are really interested in me. I think if it were Hu Bao, no one would dare to collect his body for him at the risk of exposing his identity."
"Maybe, but it would be worse if I didn't bury you."
"Oh?" When Jackal heard this, he finally couldn't help but turned around and looked at Zhou Cang with confusion. Zhou Cang replied with a helpless smile.
"That way I'll never have a good night's sleep."
"Haha, this is why I want to be friends with you, because you can always tell me reasons that I have to believe, haha..."
"Oh, you made a careless friend." Zhou Cang seemed disappointed. However, Jackal put away his smile at this time and said seriously.
"Where are the two fourth-level alchemists now?"
"I have asked them to help the boy heal his injuries."
"Well, please be sure to cure him." Zhou Cang asked slightly curiously after hearing this.
"Who is he?"
"I don't know, but curing him can be regarded as repaying the favor owed to him." Jackal shook his head slightly, and then added.
"At that time, I was forced to the point of no return by Hu Bao. If he hadn't suddenly appeared, I might have really troubled you to come out and bury me."
"He looks very young, I mean he doesn't seem like a cultivator who has been practicing for decades. I don't know if you have noticed it, but there is a mysterious breath of new life on his body, which makes people involuntarily... It will create an illusion, as if he is really a young man in his twenties." Zhou Cang himself has the second level of martial arts peak, so Jackal had to reconsider his arrangements for this young man. .
"I originally thought that he just practiced some kind of strange skills, so he needed this special way of retreat. Now it seems that he may still have some unknown secrets hidden in him." Speaking of this, Hu The wolf raised his head slightly and looked to the west.
"There are still many variables in my return to the Kyushu Alliance this time. He is not completely conscious yet. If an accident occurs, it may affect my plan. Therefore, I want to keep him here first and keep him there. If I follow you, I’m sure you won’t reject me.”
"You mean to let him follow me every step of the way?"
"Yes, I will follow you every step of the way!"
"Why?"
"Because he is very important, and I don't want anything to happen to him for the time being." After hearing this, Zhou Cang thought for a moment, then shook his head decisively and replied.
"Then I reject your proposal. He can't stay here." Zhou Cang's sudden objection surprised Jackal. He had never seen Zhou Cang oppose his proposal so directly.
Now it was the Jackal's turn to wonder.
"Why?" Zhou Cang suddenly smiled awkwardly.
"Can I not answer this question?" Jackal shook his head slightly when he heard this.
"This matter is not only related to the success or failure of my entire plan, but it is also the guarantee that I will be able to escape unscathed if I fail. However, he just saved my life, so..."
"So you, who have always been decisive in dealing with things and never sloppy, can't take action against him, and even want to take him for your own use." Zhou Cang knew Jackal very well, so although Jackal didn't tell everything, Zhou Cang could guess. Get all the thoughts in the jackal's mind.
Jackal nodded slightly and admitted.
"If he is really just a young man in his twenties, it means that his cultivation talent is extremely high, and such a person seems to be a friend rather than an enemy at the moment, which may be a good thing for you and me. So, No matter what secrets he has, we should try our best to recruit him, so that he can become our help in the organization in the future. If not, you know what to do." I have to admit that Jackal's analysis makes sense. , and this strange boy also accepted the kindness shown by the Jackal to him. It is not difficult to infer that at least he will not hinder the Jackal's plan before he wakes up.
However, Zhou Cang still felt that something was wrong, and he said with some embarrassment.
"Can you hand him over to Zhou Ying? They are similar in age and are easier to get along with. I think it would be perfect to let Zhou Ying lead him to manage the mining area. And the two young people might be able to develop some feelings. I'm interested in this." They are absolutely confident that Zhou Ying likes this kind of handsome young man the most..." Seeing that Zhou Cang suddenly changed his tone of voice and had a flattering look on his face, Jackal finally guessed the reason, and saw him Face sighed helplessly.
"I really can't understand how you, a person who is so obsessed with women, how can you reach the second level of martial arts? In my opinion, women will only affect the speed of my sword draw. A real strong man Otherwise, you should not plunge yourself into endless depravity." After hearing Jackal's righteous admonition, Zhou Cang's head shook faster than a wheel.
"I don't agree with this. Everyone has his own ambitions. Although we have a life-long friendship, this is my personal private matter and you cannot interfere. That boy is a killer of women. I believe that except for men and blind men, no one can What woman would not be tempted after seeing him. But you let him follow me every step of the way. Then I am afraid that all the eighteen little sweethearts in Chunyi Pavilion will be seduced by him. What else do I have to live for? Meaning." Jackal is not unaware of Zhou Cang's problem, or hobby, but he cannot trust anyone except Zhou Cang. Therefore, Jackal sometimes wonders whether he also has a problem.
So, Jackal waved his hand and said.
"Well, since you have so much confidence in Zhou Ying, I won't insist on it. However, I have to keep track of his every move. There should be no problem with this, right?"
"It's a deal, let's do it." Jackal sighed helplessly.
"I'm really convinced by you. Also, the people brought here this time are all members of the Mu family in Haitian Continent. Although all the direct male members were killed by Hu Bao, there may be some fish that slipped through the net. However, I don't want to do it again. Kill them all and let them fend for themselves here." Zhou Cang knew the best about Jackal's past, so he could understand why Jackal would let these people go, so he said happily.
"It has been more than a hundred years, and you have finally let it go. Originally, I always wanted to persuade you, because if you don't open this knot in your heart, you will never be able to move to a higher realm. Now, it is gratifying that you can think about it on your own. He, as for those mine slaves, leave them to me, you don’t have to worry about them anymore.”
"Thanks!"
"Yeah."... Early the next morning, Jackal left the Beishan Mine with nine of his men. He had more important things to do.
Zhou Cang looked at a dazzling luminous pearl placed on the table and a very delicate medicinal cauldron next to it. A lewd smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, because he had to get it from Jackal through hard work. , as for the use of these, it is obvious from the obscene smile on his face.
However, just as he reached out to take out the things stored inside, he suddenly heard a pleasant question.
"Brother, what is this?" Hearing his sister Zhou Ying's voice, Zhou Cang's first thought was to put the medicine tripod on the table into his storage. He must not let her find it. However, Ye Mingzhu If he lost it, his Chunyi Pavilion would definitely be in a state of uproar.
qqxδnew At the moment when he hesitated because of hesitation, a pair of white and soft palms gently pressed on the medicine cauldron.
"Brother, where did you get such an exquisite medicine cauldron? It's so beautiful."
"ah?"
"It's mine now."
"Ah!" Zhou Ying carefully held the medicine cauldron in her arms. Her moving eyes could no longer leave the medicine cauldron in her hands. She looked up and down carefully while murmuring.
"Who asked you to invite two fourth-level alchemists out of nowhere, causing me to forget all about food and sleep these days, focusing on refining elixirs? It just so happened that your medicine cauldron was prepared for me. Hehe, brother, you are really considerate. Ah." Zhou Cang explained with a pained look on his face as he looked at the medicine cauldron that was taken away by his sister.
"I'm also learning alchemy from Jackal. If you don't believe me, take a look. The elixir I refined is still inside."
"Oh, really?!" Zhou Ying picked up the medicine cauldron and took a look inside. There were indeed a few pills still inside. However, she turned the medicine cauldron over and poured out the few pills inside. Zhou Cang said in front of him.
"The elixir is still yours, I just want the cauldron."
"This..." Zhou Cang was speechless. He could only wave his hands helplessly and said.
"Jackal brought a friend here this time. He will follow you after he recovers." Zhou Ying's attention was now on the medicine cauldron, so she didn't pay attention to Zhou Cang's instructions at all, and turned around and walked out the door. Go.
"Know it!"
