In the evening, the Fang family's guards came to deliver meals and informed the miners that the mined ore could be transported outside.
The food was quite sumptuous, consisting of wild beast meat hunted by the guards outside. Being close to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, there was no shortage of wild beasts, so it could be regarded as a reward for the miners.
It is said to be close to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, but it is still hundreds of miles away from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. This is just a branch mountain range extending from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.
The real Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range is extremely dangerous. According to legend, there are real monsters there, and their strength is extremely terrifying, much more terrifying than human monks.
Monsters are different from wild beasts. Ordinary beasts are a little more ferocious and brutal. Real monsters have extraordinary intelligence.
They can simply practice, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and strengthen themselves. High-level monsters can even condense demon pills to a certain extent, which is the source of power of monster beasts and is equivalent to the dantian of human monks.
For endless years, monster beasts, like humans, have slowly evolved, embarked on a cruel path of cultivation, and sought lives from the sky.
According to legend, there is an extremely terrifying monster beast that survived the thunder tribulation of heaven and earth, transformed into a human, and walked in the five major martial realms. It has not been discovered by anyone for decades, and its power is extremely terrifying.
After taking the wild boar meat distributed by the guards, Fang Qing gobbled it up. After a day of continuous mining, even a third-level monk in the Body Refining Realm felt tired.
"Captain Wang, I'm Sun Zhi. We met a few days ago. I'll give it back to you...hehe!"
On the other side, Sun Zhi quietly walked to a hidden place and nodded and bowed to a young man with a big knife on his waist.
The young man tilted his head and looked at Sun Zhi, and clapped his hands in sudden realization, "It's you, now that I think about it, you've been doing a good job recently!"
"Captain Wang, I don't have time to collect this month's reward. You see... just collect it when you have time!"
Sun Zhi looked at Captain Wang flatteringly.
"Huh? Isn't this bad?" Captain Wang frowned and asked deliberately.
"It's a blessing for a villain to be filial to Captain Wang. You should, as you should!" Sun Zhi said with a flattering smile.
"Oh? That's it. Well, what's the matter? Tell me."
Captain Wang is also a shrewd man and knows that Sun Zhi is troublesome for him again.
"It's like this. A young miner came today, named 'Ma Xiaobo'. He is quite arrogant and uses his strength to deliberately be lazy and slippery."
"He ordered this and that, and I taught him a few words, saying, 'The Fang family's escort team is outside, and you kid can't take advantage of others.' Who knew that kid was a ruthless person."
"I immediately glared at him, beat him up, and said, 'The guards are nothing, I look down on them. If they become dogs, they won't know what their last name is.'"
"Many people have seen this. Wu Sanpang and the others are over there. You can ask them to ask!"
Sun Zhi complained with some indignation.
"What? Is this really happening? Call them here and I'll ask!"
Sure enough, Captain Wang was furious after hearing this, and did not analyze whether Sun Zhi's words were true or false.
When Sun Zhi heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly called Wu Sanpang and others over.
After hearing what Wu Sanpang and others said was consistent with what Sun Zhi said, Captain Wang no longer had any doubts and immediately became murderous and wanted to kill 'Ma Xiaobo'.
"Captain Wang, please calm down and don't be impulsive. Who are you? You're just a miner. There's nothing worth doing. I'm willing to do it for you. I just ask Captain Wang to divert the team members. Just don't ask anything about what happens in the mine." Already!"
Sun Zhi hurriedly stopped Captain Wang and immediately offered advice. He came up with such an idea. This was something they had discussed.
"Well, I really can't do it myself. After all, he is a miner invited by the Fang family, and I am only responsible for guarding the mine. If I really want to kill the miner, it won't be my turn."
"There are experts from the Fang family to take action. Since Sun Zhi is willing to do it himself, why not go with the flow and not implicate himself afterwards? Why not? Hehe!"
Captain Wang's mind was spinning and he figured it out in an instant.
"Well, wild beasts have been around a lot these days, and the surrounding security has been relaxed. I'll take people to patrol the perimeter. Three days is enough, right?"
Captain Wang muttered to himself, and then left, leaving behind a few miners who laughed evilly.
On the other side, Fang Qing randomly found a big tree, sat cross-legged under the big tree, and looked at the lush forest in the east, shrouded in the sunset.
He smelled the fragrance of the grass and trees, listened to the crisp chirping of birds, and from time to time, roars of beasts came from the depths of the forest. He had never experienced this feeling before. Compared to the past stay at Fang's house, he felt more relaxed. a lot of.
"It seems that becoming a miner is not without its benefits. People are warm and cold, and life is full of life. At least, this state of mind is much quieter than before."
"Father once said that monks not only need to temper their physical bodies, but also sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Finally, they also need to sharpen their spiritual will. A strong heart is what monks need most."
Fang Qing thought of the words that Fang Buhui once taught, and combined with himself, he had a deeper understanding.
Night gradually enveloped the earth, and the entire mining area fell into silence. Several figures walked cautiously towards the entrance of the mine and disappeared into the mine in an instant without anyone noticing.
The night was uneventful, and at dawn the next day, the miners had breakfast and began their day of mining.
As many miners entered the mine, Fang Qing once again came to the ore area that he had opened up.
The entire mine is surrounded by passages, which are where the miners dig, and work is divided in an orderly manner.
Hammer after hammer, ore the size of a washbasin was excavated. Fang Qing's mining speed was extremely astonishing. In a matter of seconds, a piece of ore was mined, and it continued to penetrate deeper.
Click! Click!
There was a strange sound of stones breaking, and Fang Qing did not notice that the stone above his head began to have cracks, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
At this moment, Fang Qing, who had gone more than ten meters deep, suddenly turned around and saw a scene that horrified him. Huge rocks began to fall from the top of the passage where he came from, and then the entire mine began to shake violently.
"The mine is collapsing, hurry up!"
"Run"
"Brother Ma, run quickly, run quickly!"
Han Daniu's horrified roar came from the outside world. Fang Qing's face turned pale as he watched the huge rocks falling in front of him, instantly blocking the way he came.
It was impossible for him to rush out now. He could only retreat and isolate a safe space.
"ah!"
Fang Qing roared and used all his strength to break the boulders in front of him. He couldn't let them block all the passages, otherwise he would be dead!
puff!
A big stone collided with Fang Qing's palms, and an unmatched huge force came. Fang Qing's chest felt like being hit by a giant hammer weighing ten thousand pounds, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body was shot back to the deepest part of the tunnel.
Boom! Boom!
Outside, the entire mine collapsed completely, and three of the miners died during the emergency retreat. Han Daniu was lucky enough to escape from death.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock. All the monks of the Fang family who were still here ran out and were furious as they watched the copper mine collapse.
"Qing'er, where is Qing'er?" Fang Buqi shouted with an anxious look on his face.
"Is there anyone in the mine who hasn't come out?" Fang Busan's face was extremely ugly at this moment, and he roared.
The few miners who had narrowly escaped death looked at each other tremblingly, and some of them counted the number of miners.
At this moment, Han Daniu said fearfully, "Sir, three people are missing. Tong Dahu, San Gouzi, and Liu Feicao didn't come out!"
In his shock, he actually forgot that there was a new miner, Ma Xiaobo.
"Where's Qing'er, where has he gone?" Fang Buqi roared, glaring at all the miners in front of him.
"Qing'er? What Qing'er? We don't have such a person here!" Han Daniu looked at Fang Buqi with a cry.
"Bastard, why not? Didn't that boy enter the mine?" Fang Busan roared, feeling a little chilly. He was the second brother's only son, so nothing could happen to him.
"Ah? By the way, where is Brother Ma? Why didn't he come out? I called him when I ran out!" Han Daniu finally remembered who it was. Ma Xiaobo, who had just joined their miners yesterday, did not come out.
"What are you doing, little brother Ma? Please explain it clearly to me!" Fang Buqi, who was in a state of confusion, roared angrily.
"It's the little brother who just joined yesterday. He said his name is Ma Xiaobo. He is very strong and can mine faster than us." Han Daniu trembled and looked at the furious Fang Buqi.
hiss!
Everyone in the Fang family took a breath, they were sure.
This 'Ma Xiaobo' must be Fang Qing's pseudonym. In order to prevent the miners from recognizing his identity, he made up a pseudonym.
"Quickly, dig the mine for me!" After hearing Han Daniu's words, Fang Buqi's face turned pale. He roared and quickly ran towards the ruins of the mine, desperately moving the stones away.
At this moment, the miners present also understood why that young man looked different and had amazing strength. It turned out that he was a direct disciple of the Fang family.
Everyone gasped. A direct disciple of the Fang family actually entered the mine to mine and was buried inside?
Now the game has become serious. Once something happens to that boy, none of them can escape and they will all die.
Behind the crowd, Sun Zhi's face turned pale and his whole body was shaking to the extreme. He knew very well how the mine collapsed.
He never thought that the young man who had opposed him was actually a direct disciple of the Fang family. Once this was revealed, even ten lives would not be enough for him.
At this moment, the guard captain Wang obviously hadn't reacted yet and was still leading all the team members to dig out the ore. Sun Zhi turned his head in fear and glanced at the captain Wang who was digging the rocks.
Then, he looked at the "partners" who still didn't react. He was really scared, extremely scared.
"Death, everyone must die, even the one named Wang must die, otherwise...otherwise..." At this moment, Sun Zhi was suddenly awakened by huge fear, his mind was spinning very fast, and he immediately thought of a murder plan.
He kept his face and suppressed his fear. He also took a few 'partners' to participate in the excavation. Now he could only stabilize them first and then find an opportunity to strike.
But Fang Qing, who was now in the mine, was hit by a huge force, and his body was shot back into the depths of the tunnel, feeling that all the bones in his body were about to break.
His back hit the stone wall, and a space of several feet was created. His body fell into the space like a bullet.
Of course, this was not caused by Fang Qing's body. As the saying goes, God blesses good people and those who gather good luck can turn bad luck into good fortune. Ren Fangqing himself did not expect that the direction he relied on to dig was the direction of the space here.
At that time, Fang Qing only needed to dig another half meter deep to reach this space.
Who would have thought that Sun Zhi, in order to take a chance on Fang Qing, used tools late at night to shatter the stone pillars supporting the mine space into pieces overnight.
The direction he chose to destroy was exactly where Fang Qing was, so the pillars broke, causing a large-scale collapse, which Sun Zhi could not have imagined.
