But he said that the day before Zhan Yue came ashore, a big event happened in Bainiao City in Chaoyang Kingdom.
Bainiaocheng, the mine outside the city, is one of the amethyst mines in Chaoyang. The amethyst mine is the raw material used to forge amethyst coins. It is a very important place for any country.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Under the supervision of the soldiers, civilians loaded pieces of ore into small carts and pushed them out. There was an endless stream of people coming to the mine entrance.
"Hello, Brother Zhang." A well-built civilian husband greeted a soldier guarding the entrance of the mine.
"Tieniu, it's your boy. Big guy, come in quickly and be careful." The soldier patted the body of Tieniu. Tieniu was half a head taller than him, wearing a black cloth short shirt and carrying a heavy load. Holding a mining shovel. The people who come to mine this amethyst vein are ordinary people nearby. Mining is a tiring and dangerous thing. It was done by slaves a long time ago. Thanks to the efforts of the Tongming Goddess and others, there are very few people in this world. Now that there are slaves, people are hired to work, and the wages are much higher than those for farming.
Tieniu had an old mother to support and was strong, so he naturally chose a miner.
After descending into the mine, Tieniu began to work, and now they were very deep.
The young man on the side looked at Tieniu and said hello: "Good morning, Brother Tieniu."
"Good morning, Xiaoliu." Tieniu replied. There were already many excavated amethyst ores in the wooden box beside him.
"Brother Tieniu, I heard that our mine is almost finished. What should we do next?" Xiao Liu asked worriedly.
Tieniu shook his head, "How do I know? Let's go to other mining sites and ask." Tieniu's eyes were also uneasy. It was not easy to find such a high-paying job. Although he was a little tired, The last thing he fears is tiredness. As long as he works hard for a few more years, he can move his old mother to live in the city, which is much safer than in the village outside the city. Although their village is very close to Bainiao City, and they can even clearly see the Tongming Tower at night, they are still not as safe as in the city. Every inch of land in the city is precious. If you don't have people who have awakened the power of contract, or other talents with special abilities, it would be very difficult to settle in the city, at least by farming. However, being a miner gave Tieniu a lot of money. hope.
The two didn't speak anymore, but continued digging. As they dug, the two of them felt the mine shake. Along with the sound of "dong-dong-dong", it seemed that something fell inside.
"Brother Tieniu, is the mine shaking? Should we run?" Xiao Liu said a little scared.
"What are you afraid of? The mine was reinforced by a strong person in the Spiritual God Realm. That's a strong Spiritual God. It can collapse so easily." Tieniu is not afraid at all. To them, a strong Spiritual God is like a god. .
"That's right. There have never been any accidents in our mine. I have a friend in another iron ore mine. I don't know how envious I am." Xiao Liu immediately felt relieved. Their mine is an amethyst mine. Mine veins, the empire attaches great importance to this, and they are the ones least willing to collapse, so they asked the spiritual masters to set up formations to strengthen the mines, which would be difficult to collapse without strong external bombardment.
As Tieniu moved his pickaxe down again, a non-purple amethyst mine appeared under a stone. Instead, there are some small green stones. Those small stones are smooth and translucent, with some impurities inside, but they cannot be destroyed by this iron pick.
"What is this? Is it a gem? Where can there be such a big gem?" Tieniu took a small stone and weighed it in his hand. It was heavy.
"Brother Tieniu, it's better to report this to the superiors." Xiao Liu said looking at these strange little stones.
"Well, you take it and report it." Tieniu handed a stone to Xiaoliu, and then he dug a few more with his pickaxe. The two of them were at the innermost side of a mine tunnel.
Not long after, Tieniu unexpectedly dug up a very large crystal stone. What was even more terrifying was that he found that the crystal stone was transparent and seemed to contain something sealed inside. He looked inside under the light of the mine and was frightened. Staggeringly, there was a skull sealed inside the crystal stone!
The skull emitted a wisp of black smoke, which was unknowingly inhaled into Tieniu's nasal cavity. Then Tieniu's expression froze, his eyes changed, and he showed a smile. He stretched one hand into the crystal stone, and the crystal stone spread out like water. He took out the skull from the stone. , there was a red cone stuck on the skull and he pulled it out.
"I didn't expect that I would see the light of day again one day." 'Iron Bull' said to himself, and then shattered the skull into powder, and the crystal stone also disappeared.
"It seems that this spiritual vein has kept my soul alive. It's really good luck." The man instantly saw that this was a spiritual stone vein. He picked up the stone on the ground and looked at it carefully. "Inferior spiritual stone? Not even low-grade spiritual stone? It seems that the better spiritual stones are still in the deepest part."
Afterwards, Xiaoliu came over with two soldiers. Tieniu's eyes changed and he returned to his previous honest appearance.
"What is this?" A soldier looked carefully.
"It seems that the amethyst ore vein has been exhausted. There is another kind of ore connected here. Come find General He." The man said.
Soon after, many people gathered around the place. A chubby middle-aged general wearing armor came over. He was the person in charge of this place, a super master of the seventh level of Yuexuan.
"This ore? I seem to have seen it in ancient books." General He's eyes were full of shock, and then he ordered, "This matter is of great importance and must not be leaked. All miners working here are under control and cannot be used for the time being. Let them go."
"Yes!" The soldier below nodded.
A trace of excitement flashed in General He's eyes, "It turns out to be a vein of spirit stone. With this vein, His Highness Ye Jun's revenge business will definitely succeed!" No one knew that this high-ranking He The general turned out to be Ye Jun's man. He had no intention of reporting the spiritual vein mine to his superiors, thinking about how to take it for himself and use it for Lord Ye.
Tieniu and his team's work instantly changed from mining amethyst coins to mining spirit stone mines. The difference from before was that they were required to have room and board here and were not allowed to leave.
"Why has no other soldier come to take over for so long? If the fat general really saw the value of such a huge spirit stone vein, he should have sent people to guard it and increase mining at the same time. Could it be that he wants to embezzle it for himself?" 'Tieniu' guessed Tao, if it were the original Tieniu, he wouldn't think too much, but he didn't. After he took away Tieniu's body, part of Tieniu's memory entered his mind. Although it was different, it also let him know where he was. It's not the original era, but it's a pity that Tieniu is just a mortal and knows very little information. Moreover, he is very weak now and has no strength at all. He can only wait to work as a miner here and absorb those defective spiritual stones to regain his strength. Unfortunately, the quality of the defective spiritual stone was too low, and his recovery was extremely slow.
Paper cannot keep fire. General He underestimated the Chaoyang Empire's control over this mineral vein. Unknown to him, the army quickly gathered and was bound to wipe out him and the remnants of Yejun under him. His self-righteous concealment of information allowed the superiors to finally fully identify his problem.
This was also the scene where Zhan Yue first saw groups of soldiers entering the Bird City through the teleportation array. Because they were afraid that mobilizing troops nearby would arouse General He's vigilance, Chaoyang Kingdom chose to parachute troops from the far east through the teleportation array, in order to completely control General He and his group with the force of thunder.
