Chapter 25: Preventing the big but not the small
"So Miss Gan is not interested in you, she wants to fight with you."
Halfway through, Cheng Cheng smiled and said to Gui Ji.
Gui Ji glanced at him angrily: "If she wants to fight, just hit her. Why are you so happy to do? Could it be that if you are a woman, you have to fall in love with me?"
Hearing her say this, Cheng Cheng was even more happy and gently squeezed her with his arm: "There is no way, who told me that my elder brother is so romantic and elegant? If any woman doesn't like you, she must be blind."
"You are the only one who is talking nonsense." Gui Ji snorted lightly, thought for a while, and suddenly laughed: "You are not jealous of me stealing your limelight, right? If I had known, I would have turned you into a freshly-out-of-the-cooked young man so that these girls and aunts would compete to steal you."
"That's it." Cheng Cheng suddenly felt a little angry and said with a wry smile: "I'm still young, I don't understand these adults at all, and I can't handle it at all."
Gui Ji's eyes suddenly opened and said, "That's weird! I can arrange the arrangement, but I won't understand it when I reach it? But there is one thing that is right. Don't forget what you are doing here. Think less about the rest. Do you understand?"
...
From Chijin City to Xiling Mining Veins, it took four ridges to cross. It took everyone an hour to get here.
The mess at the scene made it easy to see what had happened before. The broken limbs and blood were still not completely cleaned up, making the surroundings soaked in an unsettling smell. Of course, the ghost girl who faces corpses all year round will feel slightly different.
After the staff were in place, Bao Longxin began to issue orders to clean up the scene again and restore the mine facilities.
No one here has ever worked as a miner. Fortunately, everyone has the cultivation level and is strong. They use their strength to make up for the shortcomings of their skills. After working for half a day, they almost recovered the mine.
"What should I do if this hole is blocked?"
A new man named Haidong said with a slight tremolo.
The location where he stood was a huge hole more than two meters wide, leading to the deep underground. Judging from the traces of the cave wall, it was obviously not dug out during mining.
Then its source is obvious, it is where underground monsters appear.
Everyone gathered around, all silent, and the atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment.
"Don't worry about it for now, we will deal with it and do your own business."
The person who spoke was Gan Shengnan. She was walking down from the entrance of the tunnel, and the two middle-aged elders followed behind them.
Everyone gradually dispersed and each found their own mines to start working. Cheng Cheng was the last one to leave because he was a little curious and didn't know what these three would do. Should they go into the cave and kill monsters?
The entrance of the cave is so wide that it is so deep below that it is a bit creepy. Even if the two elders are strong enough, it is really not a relaxing and pleasant thing to go deeper with light body. The most important thing is that until now, I don’t know what those monsters are.
At this time, the two elders began to move, but unlike Cheng Cheng expected that they did not go into the cave directly, but set up a magic circle at the entrance of the cave.
The level of the magic array is not too high, nor is it very similar to a powerful attack magic array. Cheng Cheng observed for a long time before he understood a little.
"This is a seduction array, a trap."
Cheng Cheng nodded secretly.
It seems that they are planning to use this magic array to lure the thing underground. However, after watching it, Cheng Cheng felt that there were some problems.
"Uh... Miss."
Hearing his voice, Gan Shengnan and the two elders turned their faces and looked at him in surprise.
"Zhao Yong? What are you still doing here? Aren't you going to work?"
Gan Shengnan's attitude towards Cheng Cheng was obviously not as polite as Gui Ji. It seemed that in her eyes, Iron Wire had no human rights, no talent and strength, and she did not even have the qualification to talk to her equally.
Cheng Cheng frowned secretly. He didn't want to have too much contact with the daughter who killed his master's master. However, what the other party was doing was related to the safety of his own group of people, so he had to bite the bullet and continue talking.
"Miss, is the magic trap you have here?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Gan Shengnan's tone was very impatient.
"Oh, that's it." Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "The villain has also learned the magic array technique for a few days. Just now, he saw the two elders forming the formation and was curious, so he took a few more glances. However, when he saw it, he had a little more questions in his heart. I would like to ask the two elders for advice."
After hearing this, Gan Shengnan's remaining patience was instantly exhausted.
"Please ask? Are you so idle? Didn't you see that you were busy here? How can you teach you? Go back to work?"
Cheng Cheng could only shake his head helplessly and turn away, but he muttered intentionally or unintentionally: "The power gathers in Kun, and he is guarding against the big guys. What if the little thing comes? We are not all done."
"etc!"
An elder in the green robe suddenly shouted, his voice loudly, attracting almost everyone present.
Gan Shengnan was a little surprised. Why did this elder suddenly speak out? You know, although this elder named Yu Haolong is not very high in his cultivation, his attainments in magic circles are of the highest level in Chijin City. Could it be that Cheng Cheng's words just now really pointed out the flaws in his magic circles?
This kid still has this talent? Or is it just a little bit of a clue and bluff?
Yu Haolong frowned at this time and said, "You just said that my magic array can only defend against the big, not the small?"
Cheng Cheng smiled slightly and turned around: "Elder Yu is a major cultivator in the magic circle, so he naturally knows if I'm right."
Yu Haolong hesitated for a moment before nodding, saying, "You have a good vision. My magic array is just to guard against the big but not the small one. However, according to previous reports, the miner's corpse was almost gnawed out. It is considered a very huge monster. Moreover, the copper guards who protect the mine were wiped out in a short period of time. If it were a small monster, it would be hard to believe that there would be such combat power. My magic array was set up based on it, so what's the problem?"
Cheng Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Elder Yu's analysis is not unreasonable. The villain was just a little strange. If it was really a large monster, why did tall facilities such as beams and pillars in the mine road not be damaged at all. Most of the damaged ones are at low places."
"Um?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, especially Yu Haolong, who had already begun to doubt his judgment.
Unfortunately, Gan Shengnan was not as cautious as Yu Haolong, and it was difficult for her to accept that a poor person like Cheng Cheng who only had iron patterns and physical constitution would dare to criticize the elders in the city.
"Be smart! Whoever stipulates that large monsters must be so big? It's not your turn to deal with monsters, but you can do your work!"
Her sharp voice seemed extremely harsh in the semi-closed mineway. Although the city lord and lady liked to wear men's clothes, her style of speaking and doing things was still a lady's temper.
Seeing that she was angry, Bao Longxin hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Cheng Cheng: "Okay, okay, don't show off. There is a young lady here. Just do our best."
Cheng Cheng looked at him and smiled bitterly, had to nod, shrugged helplessly, and walked back to Gui Ji.
Gui Ji looked at him, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Those words are not entirely your reasoning, are you? Have you felt something?"
Cheng Cheng nodded without a trace and said, "It's not very clear, but I can feel something moving under the ground, it's very fast, not like something huge."
"Some?" Gui Ji sensitively caught the key point in Cheng Cheng's words: "More than one?"
Cheng Cheng narrowed his eyes, felt it carefully, and his expression became even more serious: "Maybe the word 'some' is used to describe it, and it is said that it is less. It should be... a group."
Gui Ji was also slightly trembling. She sealed her cultivation at this time and could only exert her strength in the Spirit Gathering Realm. Once she encountered a large group of powerful monsters, she would also have a headache. Unless she lifted her seal, it would immediately arouse the alertness of the high-level strong men in the city in the future. Although she was not afraid of those people, the original intention of Cheng Cheng to practice in Chijin City could not be realized.
"If the situation is not good later, remember to follow me closely. If you can, run away and don't fight."
Yu Haolong's magic array has a very good temptation effect. Shortly after the formation was completed, some things under the ground were obviously discovered and began to move.
"Miss, the star gate is moving abnormally, and there are monsters approaching. Look, should you avoid it first?"
"It's okay." Qian Shengnan didn't look nervous at all. On the contrary, she seemed to be looking forward to the monster that was about to appear: "I feel relieved that there are two elders here. Just show your power, don't worry about me."
The expressions of the two elders were not so relaxed. When they looked at the reaction of the circle, they frowned and felt a little sweat on their foreheads.
"Uh... Miss, you are precious and have some risks. You should avoid it if you can."
Speaking of this, Qian Shengnan also heard the problem. She has been good at martial arts since she was a child. She has experienced many dangerous trials and has never avoided anything. Everyone knows this, and no one dares to say something like precious in front of her.
So, the wording of Yu Haolong now can only explain one problem, that is, the troubles that follow may be really big.
"What? What did you find? Is the monster very strong?"
Yu Haolong looked at the reaction of the circle again, swallowed his throat dryly, and said, "To be honest, it's not strong, it's very strong, unexpectedly strong, not only very strong, but also...it seems...it's a lot."
"Many?" Qian Shengnan dared not doubt the judgment of the two elders, but it was not her usual style to escape before she could see the enemy.
