Rambo ignored Huang Ming and Xiao Hua and continued talking by himself.
"That Lingshi mine was discovered by us during a hunting operation ten years ago. The veins are not big, but the quality is very high. I reported it to Jiyin Castle, and Jiyin Castle also sent people to take over the mining of the Lingshi mine. "
"A month ago, I received a message from the flying birds of Jiyin Castle, saying that the Maomaoqing camp was attacked by wild beasts. I was asked to send reinforcements immediately. At the same time, the hunting operation was advanced and the mission content was temporarily changed."
"I thought it was strange at the time. The Lingshi Mine is guarded by immortal cultivators, and the camp's duty is to help guard the water source of the Lingshi Mine. If it is attacked, the best support is the immortal cultivator, so how can we let us martial cultivators support us from afar? "
"But our Shanyin Sect is just a subordinate martial arts sect after all. It's not easy to ask more questions. Besides, the two of you have agreed to enter the Savage Beast Continent with us, so I didn't think much more about it."
Rambo paused here.
"Now I finally know that they must have known about the Savage Continent for a long time. The reason why we asked us to move forward and change the mission is because after ten years of mining, the veins of the Lingshi Mine have been exhausted. It can be fully mined in two months at most. It’s over, they need us to help them buy time.”
"What? Will it be finished in two more months? Then it's almost finished now." Huang Ming was depressed.
"Yes, if we count from the time we set out, it has been almost two months now. Damn, we are really being used as guns. Oh, we are killing monsters here, and others are digging spiritual stones over there?"
Xiao Hua was also depressed. He was defending left and right, but he still fell into the trap.
"You understand now, let us martial cultivators go outside the Thousand Needles Earth Forest to stop the high-level savage beasts, but they immortal cultivators only waste time digging for spiritual stones. Haha, it's really funny."
Rambo smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued.
"Originally, this is nothing. After all, Flash Silver Sect is a subordinate sect of Jiyin Castle. But if it is to prevent barbaric beasts from entering our human continent, then even if we are asked to die, we are willing to do so."
"But now they let us die just for a few spiritual stones. This, alas... is so heartbreaking." Rambo sighed.
"You're heartbroken, I'm heartbroken too. Not only did we take the risk to find out the truth, but we were also used as gunmen by you. Stop talking, take us to the Lingshi Mine, and we'll help you get an explanation."
Huang Ming was anxious and helped Rambo and the others to explain that it was a lie and that the spirit stone mine was the real thing.
"That's right, it's a good thing we're here, otherwise your team would have been wiped out just by that level four hard-skinned jackal beast. Don't worry about any missions. Let's go to the Lingshi Mine."
Xiao Hua is also thinking about the Lingshi Mine.
"No need, it will take ten days at the earliest to go back from here. By then the Lingshi mine will have been dug, and the immortal cultivators from Jiyin Castle will have left long ago. This is why I am telling you now."
"Sister, you are so loyal. You told us after you finished digging. No, you have to go and have a look no matter what. I don't want to be a gunman in vain."
Huang Ming was unwilling to give in. It was a spirit stone mine. He had never seen it before, so he had to go and see it.
"Forget it, two seniors, the reason why I am willing to tell you is because you let me know the truth, but Shanyinmen is a subordinate of Jinyin Castle after all. Even if this mission really requires us to die, it is still our fate."
"Fuck, I'm talking about Leader Lan, you are called Yu Zhong. Oh, you have to die if they ask you to die? If they ask you to stay for a month, you will stay for a month? There is no one to supervise you, you won't find a safe place. Do you want to hide for a month and then go back?"
Xiao Hua rolled his eyes at Rambo, thinking that Rambo would not be flexible. Of course, his kind of flexibility is called cheating.
"Senior Huang's words are wrong. Those who practice Taoism cannot break their oaths, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the right results. Since I, Shanyinmen, have sworn to obey orders from Jiyin Castle for life, why do I need supervision from others?"
"This..." Xiao Hua was speechless.
It seems that ancient people and modern people are really different. Ancient people will definitely abide by their oaths, while modern people will never abide by their oaths. It is really hard to say.
Xiao Hua touched his bald head and whispered to Huang Ming.
"What should we do now? Should we just escape or accompany them to complete the mission?"
"Fuck you, don't forget, we are killing monsters here and digging for spiritual stones there. Since the matter of external power has been revealed, we should go to Daxia to find a place to practice well."
Huang Ming was right. Rambo and the others might be in danger when dealing with high-level beasts, but they couldn't always be nannies, let alone put down their own affairs to save them. After all, it was their mission to save the world.
"Okay, since you have to dodge sooner or later, let's tell Lambo Ming"
Xiao Hua also felt that there was no need to stay any longer.
But just then, Rambo spoke.
"Two seniors, let's go. Thank you both for telling the truth, and thank you for your help before. I, Shanyinmen, am very grateful."
Rambo also saw what Xiao Hua and Huang Ming were thinking. They were immortal cultivators and must have their own affairs.
"Master Lan, we do have more important things to do. Let's do this, Master Lan. Let's go out and meet everyone first, and then say goodbye."
After Xiao Hua finished speaking, he helped Rambo up. He planned to say goodbye to those martial arts cultivators, which could be regarded as a beginning and an end.
So the three of them started back from Thousand Needles Earth Forest.
Back in the team, Rambo called everyone together and told everyone that Xiao Hua and Huang Ming were not mountain people but Daxia immortal cultivators who had important things to do.
After a brief period of surprise and noise, everyone bid farewell to Huang Ming and Xiao Hua.
After that, Xiao Hua and Huang Ming threw out their magic weapons and flew directly into the sky. Since their identities were revealed, there was no need to hide them.
ah? Why do they want to fly in the sky? Too much mana?
Is there any need to guess?
They were thinking about Mao Maoqing's spirit stone mine.
Rambo said that the spirit stone mine would be dug in another two months. It was almost two months ago now, and they had to hurry up.
Stepping on the magic weapon of their destiny and walking all the way, in the evening two days later, Huang Ming and Xiao Hua flew to the road on the left side of the Wilderness Gate.
After flying for more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at the small ravine at the entrance of Maomaoqing.
With a sweep of his spiritual mind, there was no scent of wild beasts in the camp, but the two teams that were left to guard the water source were also gone, and the two sea urchin trucks used to block the entrance were turned into pieces and scattered everywhere.
Continuing forward, the outside of the camp was in a mess. The horses that were originally used as walls had all collapsed. Even the small tower at the door that was leaning to one side but not completely collapsed this time also collapsed.
However, the tower as a whole is not damaged. It is still a small, boxy cage with a roof and a fence. It is just deformed and twisted and is about to fall apart.
The camp was littered with deformed spears and footprints of wild beasts. The traces of fighting were very obvious. It seemed that the two elders and their team who stayed here to guard the water source had met with misfortune.
