There are no stars and moon in the night sky, and the forest is lonely
In the dark night, two figures were like ghosts, running wildly through the rugged mountains and forests scattered with rocks as if they were walking on flat ground.
Not long after, the figure in the middle suddenly braked to a stop, and a voice of inquiry came to his ears: "What's wrong, Mingxian?"
Hu Mingxian smiled awkwardly and said, "I forgot to ask Lu Feng what kind of mineral material is in the hidden god stone we got."
Xia Yunhe was speechless. He rolled his eyes at Hu Mingxian angrily and said, "I thought it was some big deal... It's not too late to ask again when Wanbao Tower delivers the magic weapon."
"Um!"
In response, the two of them stopped talking and quickly rushed towards the mine.
With Huangshi City as the center, there are as many as 132 mines surrounding it. Half of them are in the south alone, and the rest are in the west and north. In the east, an official road and several forest trails connect the mines. A city, Qingshan City.
The next city in Qingshan City is Yanfeng City, where the Wanbao Tower branch is located, managed by Master He.
On the Shengwu Continent, teleportation arrays are generally not set up between cities in the same area, simply because the construction of a teleportation array itself is an extremely long and complicated matter, and all the materials used are rare. Furthermore, The construction cost is also extremely high.
For example, the short-distance teleportation arrays between the seven sects of Fenglei Sect are only the smallest ones. They can only accommodate a few people at a time for teleportation. In addition, in addition to the interval between each teleportation, the cost is not low. Generally, it is not a major event. , such as when each sect invites other sects to watch the ceremony, the seven sects rarely communicate through the teleportation array.
Only between cross-regions, such as going from the mortal world to the cultivation world, and between the major areas separated by the Sea of Death, will there be large-scale cross-regional teleportation arrays.
Only Beiling has the most teleportation arrays in the entire Shengwu Continent.
There are teleportation arrays not only between the areas separated by the Sea of Death, but also between cities in the same area. This is not only because of Beiling's wealth, but also because of the hard problem of ore transportation.
I have already mentioned the situation of ore transportation. In addition, there are many forces such as the Beiling family, dynasty, mercenary groups, gangs, etc., which makes it even more complicated. Although there are four major families leading the situation, the various battles will never stop.
Therefore, in order to allow the smooth and safe transportation of ore, there are so many teleportation arrays between cities. Among the thirteen mansions in Beiling, especially the Longfu has the most teleportation arrays. This can be regarded as the first time since the Long clan took charge of the Dragon It is one of the achievements of the government since then.
Of course, the cost of teleportation is still not low. Unless there is a real emergency or a really rich person, most of the warriors who hang out in Long Mansion will choose to ride monster beasts when traveling between cities, or simply go directly to the city. Walking on one leg.
This time, after Lu Feng teleported from Yanfeng City to Qingshan City, he would no longer choose to teleport to Huangshi City. Instead, he would choose to ride a monster to meet at the place agreed with Hu Mingxian.
As for the guards of the Heitian Gang on the official road and those few trails, it is not a difficult task. They can just pass through like normal warriors.
Regarding the Black Tiger, although the Heitian Gang is heavily guarded, it does not restrict the entry and exit of warriors in Huangshi City. Although the Heitian Gang is in charge of Huangshi City, its power is not that great, but the inspections when entering and exiting will be much stricter. .
The mine chosen by Hu Mingxian this time is located four hundred miles north of Huangshi City. It can be regarded as a medium-to-large mine.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble along the way, Hu Mingxian and Xia Yunhe chose mountain roads in the forest. They took detours wherever possible and tried not to encounter the Black Sky Gang members who were patrolling near other mines. The deeper they went into the mines, the more they encountered. People's speed also slowed down, and they were extremely careful.
After a journey of about four hundred miles, the two of them walked for most of the night before reaching their destination.
The reason why I chose this mine is that on the map, this mine is basically close to the outermost position of the northern mine group, and it is far away from other mines. The nearest large mine is 50 miles away. , the farthest ones are basically hundreds of miles away.
Except for this mine, some of the other mines in all directions are only two or three miles apart.
Some are even twin mountains, right next to each other, and the farthest is only a few dozen miles apart.
It is precisely because of this that this mine also has the largest number of defenders!
When they arrived several miles away from the mine, Hu Mingxian and Xia Yunhe frowned slightly at the same time. The air here was filled with a disgusting stench. This was a complex stench, with the smell of blood and blood. The smell of sweat, excrement, etc. are mixed together...
The closer I got, the stronger the smell became, almost nauseating.
In a dense forest, Hu Mingxian and Xia Yunhe were approaching cautiously. Suddenly, they both stopped at the same time, trying their best to restrain their auras. Not long after, the sound of footsteps came hundreds of meters in front of them. In this dark night, they were trampling on the branches and leaves. The sound is exceptionally clear!
Two teams came, each with twenty people, and their cultivation levels were between the ninth level of blood coagulation and the eighth level of bone casting. Judging from the uniform black armor they wore, they were the defenders of the Black Sky Gang here.
At this moment, the two teams were conducting a routine inspection of this dense forest. Although this was not their first time, they were still searching extremely carefully. Forty people lined up to expand the search area as much as possible.
Not to mention the inch-by-inch exploration, but it was almost the same. The weapons in each hand were pierced into the bushes around them from time to time, and they were pierced several times to confirm that there was no movement.
Behind the dense forest, Hu Mingxian and Xia Yunhe looked at each other, holding their breath and concentrating, ready to use the concealment formation engraved on their bodies at any time.
Before figuring out the specific situation in the mine, the two didn't want to alert the enemy. Killing these forty people was easy, but once they couldn't control it, it would spread to other mines, and then directly to the Black Sky Gang headquarters in Yellowstone City.
So along the way, neither of them used their spiritual sense to explore the surrounding situation, just for fear of being sensed by the Black Sky Gang. Even the patrolling people have reached the eighth level of bone casting, so there must be strong people in the mine. Sit down.
Seeing that the three people in front were about to approach the hiding place of the two, suddenly, there was a strange movement on the left side!
"Puch!"
In the dark night, the sound of a sharp blade penetrating into the body clearly echoed in the dense forest, followed by waves of wailing, begging and yelling!
"ah!!"
"Spare me...spare me...I don't want to die...I don't want to die..."
"TM! I asked you to run, can you run? Huh?!"
"Brothers, come here. We've found him."
As he said that, the man from the Black Sky Gang kicked a figure hiding under the bushes away, and hit him hard against a big tree. When he fell to the ground, he spat out blood, and his back On the punctured wound, blood was flowing even more.
This man was in ragged clothes, unkempt, thin, and had chains on his hands and feet. Even some prisoners on death row were in much better condition than him.
Hearing the sound, all the searching Black Sky Gang members gathered around.
"Tm, you are so brave that you dare to run away after eating the heart of a bear?"
"Hit! Beat me hard!"
"..."
Amidst the bursts of scolding, a group of warriors kicked the miner continuously, and in a short time they kicked the miner to death.
"Go, take it back!"
Finally, when one of them greeted him, he pulled the chain on the miner's foot and dragged him away like a dead dog.
There are no roads along this road. Although it is in the mountains and forests, there are still too many gravels on the ground. If it is dragged back like this, it is difficult to find a complete body.
After confirming that there was no more movement around them, Hu Mingxian and Xia Yunhe continued to set off. Perhaps this place had just been searched, but no one from the Black Sky Gang was encountered on the rest of the way, and the two of them arrived at their destination smoothly.
This mine is located in a mountainous area. The mine is tall and steep, with cliffs nearly a hundred meters high on both sides. There are layers of spiked barriers on the edges. Although at intervals, there will be a rock on the cliff. The high platform is presumably used by guards to monitor the entire mine and investigate the situation around the mine.
Maybe it's because Huangshi City has been peaceful for too long. With the help of the Black Sky Gang and the forces behind it, no one dares to come here to cause trouble, and no one is guarding these outposts anymore.
Hu Mingxian and Xia Yunhe were hiding in one of the outposts, and could clearly overlook the situation of the entire mine below.
Just this sight made the two of them feel anxious!
Three mine entrances were dug out at the foot of the mine. In front of each mine, there was a team of men, women, old and young. All of them were in ragged clothes and it was difficult to cover their bodies.
Under the unkempt hair and face, it was difficult to see clearly. On the tattered clothes, one could see dried blood stains or wounds that were still bleeding.
There is a huge flat land in front of the mine. The residences of the members of the Black Sky Gang are built on both sides of the exit formed by the cliffs on both sides. The exit is even built into a gate tower with a metallic luster, even if it allows those mortals to The miners couldn't push away either.
I think it was built like this to defend against foreign enemies.
At this moment, in front of the plain, three domesticated monsters were shackled, each pulling a huge transport vehicle.
The three teams of miners, like rotating machines, put the ore transported from the mine into the transport vehicles, and then followed the team into the mine without stopping or daring to stop.
During the whole process, no one dared to say a word. It was so quiet that even the sound of their breathing was very obvious, because beside the three teams, there were people from the Black Sky Gang, scolding and whipping them from time to time...
If a woman passes by and gets interested, those members of the Black Sky Gang will caress the woman's body casually, and furthermore, they will humiliate her on the spot. However, even so, these women do not dare to say a word and are helpless. Tears of despair slipped down along with the stains on his face.
What made them not even dare to die was that dozens of chains strung the left and right cliffs more than ten meters above the vast flat land, with thousands of bones or mummies hanging on them. , or someone who died not long ago...
Each of them had chains wrapped around their necks to suffocate them to death, or they might have been hung directly around their necks after death, as was the case with the miner who escaped earlier. .
The scene here is even worse than purgatory on earth!
However, even under such circumstances, in the houses of the Black Sky Gang members, the laughter and laughter of drinking and eating meat, as well as indescribable evil sounds, were still heard.
