Zhang Xiaoman felt that he had guessed the truth of the matter. He did not believe that such a huge plague temple was really so poor. If there was anywhere to hide something inside, it would be under the small pond in the garden.
However, he did not set off immediately. What was going on under the pool was still unknown for the time being, so he had to be fully prepared.
Looking down at the small black mirror in his hand, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but recall its previous owner, Lan Gulai.
Although the patriarch of the Lan family is good at calculations, he has indeed been of great help to him. His personal strength has reached the peak of control level, and he is only one step away from true transcendence.
What I didn't expect was that such a heroic figure would end up like this, dying inexplicably at the hands of the person he trusted most.
What happened in the ruins today was indeed a big blow to the Lan family. If the Lan family outside knew about it, it would most likely trigger a new conflict between the Lan family and the Rothschild family. Round battle.
Zhang Xiaoman had no intention of hiding the matter, but was planning to tell the truth truthfully after going out. As for whether the Lan family really wanted to go to war with the Rothschilds, it had nothing to do with him, because he and The Lan family's deal has been completed. After he leaves, he will remove his title of honorary elder. This was planned early on.
After playing with the broken Xingluo Mirror twice, I found that this thing had completely lost its function. After withstanding the full blow of the magic circle outside the temple, the surface was shattered and the internal structure was destroyed. It could no longer be used for defense.
However, this does not mean that the treasure mirror has completely turned into a pile of waste. Although it cannot be used now, its own value still exists. After all, this thing is made of fourth-level materials, so it is still valuable anyway. It was worth some money, so Armand threw it away at that time, probably out of anger.
Zhang Xiaoman stared at the small black mirror, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to hand it over to the Lan family after he went out, treating it as the last thing he did for them.
Now he no longer owes anything to the Lan family. Not only did he take action several times in the ruins to repay the favor, he even designed to almost wipe out the murderer of everyone in the Lan family. No matter from which level, He can already quit with peace of mind.
"By the way, there seems to be a lot of resources left over at the Olhast Mine. Maybe I can go take a look..."
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly remembered the Lan family's collection base in the plague ruins, and immediately activated the infinite teleportation and reached the target area instantly.
"Well...the Olhast rock previously mined by the Lan family is still here. The Rothschild family has not had time to clean it up, and more than 70% of the remaining ore in the vein has not yet been mined. The resources here are It can’t be wasted, maybe I can think of a way to collect and utilize them.”
After letting go of his spiritual thoughts and scanning around, Zhang Xiaoman found that there were a lot of useful things here. Basically all the Olhast rock mines were here, which gave him an advantage. It happened to be over there at Longmian Mountain. Most of the mine has been mined, and the discovery of such a new vein adds another layer of heritage to the organization.
"Huh? There are actually some survivors here?"
While scanning with his spiritual mind, Zhang Xiaoyi was surprised to find some signs of life in the ruins. After careful confirmation, he was sure that these should be members of the Lan family's collection team. Unexpectedly, some of them were able to survive the battle just now. It seems like you are lucky to have survived.
Honorato and his companions have been trapped here for more than 72 hours. If it weren't for the ecological maintenance system in the rest room that can still barely operate, I'm afraid they would have been unable to survive a few days ago. Due to the pressure, he followed in the footsteps of other Lan family children.
However, the current situation is not a good thing for them. The process of waiting for death is the most painful, especially in such a desperate place where the sky and the earth are unresponsive. It is simply a matter of death and no life.
In the previous battle, everyone in the Lan family was probably dead, and in such a harsh space, these ordinary members of the collection team had no way of leaving their hiding place and walking to the exit of the ruins gate alone. , let alone hope that rescue will come, so the only thing left to do is to wait for death.
"How about... let's give it a try... and see if we can get out..."
Honorato sat in the corner, looking palely at the five remaining companions around him.
Although he said that, in fact, his physical strength was almost reaching its limit. After all, the life-support system supplies in the rest room were limited, and he had been affected by the war before, and many materials had been lost. Several of them Being able to persist until now is already the limit.
After hearing what he said, several other people in the room all twitched their lips feebly, and even lost the strength to express their opinions. The atmosphere in the room was extremely silent, and everyone was in a state at this time. At the limit, even if I say one more word, I can't do it.
Of course, Honorato also knew that his proposal was unlikely to be completed. With his current physical strength, let alone walking out of the ruins space, even if he wanted to stand up and walk out of this base, he couldn't do it. The reason why he said this was, It's just self-comfort in despair.
"I still have two sons... They are still waiting for me to go back... I can't die..."
In the silence, such an extremely hoarse voice suddenly came from the room. Honorato turned his head with difficulty and looked around. The speaker was a dark-skinned man. He almost didn't recognize the people here. Everyone. They all came here for temporary refuge, but now they are the last companions waiting for death in the same cage.
Following the swarthy man's speech, several subtle cries were heard intermittently in the room. Honorato couldn't help but sigh. Who among everyone here is not like this? He also has a mother at home. , wife, and children, they are all looking forward to his return, but in the end, all they can wait for is probably the cold news of his death.
"The great god of dark spirits, the eternal lord of life, the immortal starry sky giant, the tenacious god of miners... No matter who you are, please help me... Please save me... As long as you can give me new life , I will become your most loyal believer...never abandon..."
Honorato lowered his head and murmured softly. He originally did not believe in gods, but at this moment, there was nothing else he could do. Apart from waiting quietly for death, all he could do was All he could do was pray, even though he already knew it was pointless.
Some people were so weak that they could not speak. They could only listen to Honorato's prayer and recite it silently in their hearts.
"Click~"
Just when there was only despair in everyone's hearts, a shattering sound suddenly came from the metal wall of the rest room, and a ray of light shone in from the outside.
Zhang Xiaoman easily lifted up the damaged wall and stood in front of everyone with brilliance.
"God... God! Did you really write about the manifestation..."
Olorato looked at the figure that appeared like a god, and for a moment he couldn't believe his eyes. He thought it was an hallucination caused by a person on the verge of death.
"It looks like you are the only survivors left in the entire base."
Zhang Xiaoman looked around at the people lying down in the room, and everyone casually threw out a group healing spell to bring them back from the brink of death.
"Ho ho ho..."
Olorato then suddenly sat up in shock, and then kept breathing heavily, like a drowning person who surfaced at the last moment.
His physical condition is considered to be the best among these people. After receiving treatment from Zhang Xiaoman, he has immediately regained his ability to move.
"You, you are...the elder of Ji Xing!"
Olorato immediately recognized Zhang Xiaoman's identity. As a member of the collection team, of course he had inquired about several peak combatants in this operation, and Zhang Xiaoman was one of them.
"Elder, it's an elder! There are actually elders here!"
At the same moment, this thought appeared in the minds of everyone present.
I originally thought that with the sneak attack from the Rothschild side, all the elders had been killed, but I didn't expect that there were still elders from the Lan family alive.
"You must be in a better condition. I didn't expect you guys to be lucky enough to survive in this rest room until now. You deserve your fate."
"Chief, Elder... Thank you for your help. What is the situation here? Other people in the base and the clan leader..."
Honorato asked intermittently. He originally thought that the Lan family had completely failed in this battle, but now that he saw the elder Ji Xing, he felt that there might be hope for him. Maybe things were not as good as before. It was as bad as I imagined.
Zhang Xiaoman saw his hopeful eyes, sighed slightly, shook his head and said:
"They are all dead, including Lan Gu and other elders. You are the only survivors."
"All, all dead...?"
Everyone couldn't help but feel sad after hearing this, and the glimmer of hope that had originally been raised was once again shattered.
"This is not a place to stay for a long time. I suggest you leave as soon as possible. However, the transport spacecraft at the base has been damaged. You may need to find a way on your own."
Zhang Xiaoman reminded.
Only then did Olorato and the others recover from their grief. Yes, although the base was destroyed, at least they were still alive, but the question now was how they could leave here.
"That... Elder Ji Xing... you see... we have no way to move in the surrounding environment... can you..."
The dark-skinned middle-aged man said nervously and hesitantly. His eyes did not even dare to look at Zhang Xiaoman for fear of causing dissatisfaction.
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head slightly and said:
"I'm afraid not. I can't take you to the entrance to the ruins. With your physical condition, you will die once you leave this rest room, and I'm afraid this room won't last long."
Zhang Xiaoman was moved, and he felt that he might be able to take these people for his own use.
Don't look at it. These few people present are just ordinary people without spiritual power, and they are also insignificant miners in the Lan family's collection team.
But in fact, these people are all real talents.
What kind of power is the Lan family? It is a super big family that is qualified to participate in this entire star field. It is one of the eleven princes. With the size of their family, those who can be sent to participate in this ruins exploration operation are all the best among the best in the entire star field. , even the 20,000 people who collect troops are the same.
Although they are just ordinary miners here, if they were placed elsewhere, they would be top talents recruited by Zhenxiang from each planet.
Their understanding of mineral veins goes beyond simple mining. Each of these individuals can even lead the survey, excavation, and refining of mineral veins on all planets in an entire galaxy on their own.
How could Zhang Xiaoman let go of such precious human resources.
Therefore, he needs to find a way to get these people to follow him.
"But although I can't let you go to the entrance of the ruins, I can help you open a space passage and let you go to another universe. But once you get there, you have no way to go back."
"Another universe? Is there no way to go back...?"
Several people did not expect that the ups and downs of life would come so suddenly. When they heard Zhang Xiaoman's previous words, they felt like they had been hit by a 10,000-point crit. But when they heard that there was a way to save their people behind him, a person Another look of astonishment appeared on his face.
"I do! I do! Thank you to Elder Ji Xing for helping me!"
Everyone present nodded wildly in agreement.
Just kidding, life must be the most important at this time. As for another universe and whether or not we can go back, these are nothing compared to life. After all, one is death and the other is leaving home. I believe anyone with some brains can make the right choice.
Zhang Xiaoman is very satisfied with the answers of these people. In fact, if they are willing, he can take over their families from the second universe in the future. The same will be true for the family reunion in the first universe. Anyway, the two universes will be integrated by then. Together, there is no difference.
He stretched out a hand, and the light of the Starry Eyes bloomed in his palm, and then a ray of space power spread out, covering everyone present. After the light flashed, they were completely transported to the original world.
