The old miner came over at some point and said to Li Xuan with a bad face.
Li Xuan raised his head slightly. The old miner's face was wrinkled like walnuts. He looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, but his exposed arms were still kneaded and strong.
"Why do you have to let it be, isn't that spacious?"
Li Xuan asked lazily. He noticed the hostility of the old miner and knew that he must have come to find fault on purpose.
Without saying a word, the old miner swung the pickaxe in his hand and smashed it on Li Xuan's head.
The force was very strong this time, and the action was very sudden. If it hit the head, it would definitely lead to blood.
Li Xuan turned his head slightly, and the miner's pickaxe hit the hole wall beside him, and stone chips flew everywhere.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the sudden scene. Everyone looked at the miner's pickaxe embedded in the crack of the rock in surprise, wondering what was going on.
"Do you want to kill me?"
Li Xuan thought the old miner was very interesting. He did not get angry, but asked with interest.
"Dog-legged."
The old miner threw a word and pulled out the miner's pick with force, walked past Li Xuan.
Li Xuan blinked his eyes, and his strong murderous intent gradually dissipated. It seemed that people like him were very unpopular.
Seeing the fresh miners sneaking at this side, Li Xuan coughed dryly and touched the musket on his waist.
The miners immediately turned their heads timidly and continued to do their work.
Li Xuan thought to himself: If you are a little bit bloody, I can reach out to help, but why should such a timid guy save you?
If you want to change your bad luck, you must first have a strong personality, otherwise everything will be a fool.
Under the dark mine, the miners worked silently, only three hours to rest, eat some hard dry food, and drink a few sips of water that smelled strange.
I don’t know how long it took to work, but finally filled a few iron boxes. The miners dragged their tired bodies back to the elevator and returned to the ground together.
After leaving the mine, it was already dark.
The miners lay in the torn shack like dead dogs, and fell asleep before they even had time to take off their clothes. In a blink of an eye, snoring sounds rang out in the shack.
Even the barbarians who were surveillance were tired, or drunk. Seeing him walking towards the iron house at the foot of the mountain drunk, Li Xuan narrowed his eyes.
It was late at night, and the mountain wind blew, and the wind-leading shacks made a "rattle" sound.
If the wind was stronger, Li Xuanzhen suspected that the shack would be blown away.
The smell of smelly sweat was everywhere, and the miners squeezed into a ball so that they could be warmer.
Li Xuan couldn't sleep, so he got up and slipped out of the shack and looked at the foot of the mountain.
Lights leaked from the iron house at the foot of the mountain, and there were shadows on both sides of the road down the mountain. They must be patrolling barbarians.
Li Xuan opened the strange space and pulled out the ghost.
"Zhizhi..." After holding it in the strange space for a long time, the ghost rubbed Li Xuan's legs with a little excitement.
Li Xuan spit out a ball of shadow spiritual power from his palm for the ghost to eat, and then whispered: "You go around and see if there are any mechanisms nearby ambushing you, be careful not to let the barbarians see you."
The ghost swallowed the shadow spiritual power in a greedy mouthful, burped, and jumped into the dense grass.
With such a clever guy here, Li Xuan can save a lot of trouble.
However, Li Xuan was not idle either. He bypassed the stone road down the mountain and jumped down from the steep mountain, like a flexible raccoon cat, silently falling down the mountain without making any sound.
I have just looked at the distribution of iron houses on the top of the mountain, mainly in two areas, one in residential areas and the other in warehouse areas.
Li Xuan didn't want to alert the enemy, so he went straight to the warehouse area, wanting to see if he could get some black iron ore first.
Unexpectedly, before he could get close to the warehouse, Li Xuan suddenly smelled a strange smell in the air. He stopped vigilantly and squatted in the grass half a person tall.
"Wool! Wool!"
A few dog barking sounded, waking up the quiet night.
"Oh no, I even have a dog."
Li Xuan secretly called out badly.
When the barbarians were connected with dogs, Li Xuan almost immediately determined that there were monks proficient in taming animals nearby.
Muskets, traps and pets are the three magic weapons of beast trainers. The spiritual pets raised are like the demon creatures summoned by Li Xuan. They can train spirit beasts into powerful assistants, and are definitely a headache-inducing opponent.
Especially the trainers who tame dogs, their reconnaissance skills are already very powerful and have a very sensitive nose to help, so it is simply impossible to complete a sneak attack.
For example, at present, before Li Xuan approached, the dog barked wildly, attracting the attention of the barbarians.
"What's going on? Did someone escape again?"
The three barbarians emerged and looked around vigilantly.
The hats on their heads shot out a strong beam of light, illuminating the surroundings.
Li Xuan tried his best to lower his body, holding his breath at the same time, hoping not to be discovered.
"I'll go and have a look."
The sound of plucking grass sounded, and a barbarian searched for Li Xuan's hiding place. In front of him were three big black dogs. These dogs looked even more ferocious than wolves. They not only had sharp teeth, fangs, but also had four necks.
There is also a sharp blade hidden on his legs. He is extremely brave when fighting, and is definitely not inferior to an ordinary monk.
Three big dogs opened the way, lowered their heads and sniffed desperately on the ground. Although Li Xuan blocked his breath, the smell that had just spread in the air could not escape their sensitive noses and were getting closer.
Li Xuan was very depressed and secretly thought about how to deal with it.
Whether it is slipping away or silence, it will surely alarm more barbarians. Will they fail on the first day of lurking?
He was still hesitating, and suddenly there was a scattered sound in the grass in the other direction. The sound alarmed the big dogs. They were immediately attracted to their attention and rushed over there with a yelling wildly.
The barbarians were also attracted to their attention, and the barbarians shouted: "Who, get out of here."
While he said, he raised his hand and shot the sky.
A flare exploded in the air, and released a strong light with a "pop". In a few seconds, the sky was as bright as day.
Unfortunately, the barbarians saw nothing.
It’s not that the other party escaped too quickly, but that the barbarians were too short and were blocked by the weeds. Even if they jumped up, they couldn’t see who the guy was making a noise.
After a while, the three big dogs ran back panting and saw that they had not caught the target when they looked lost.
Li Xuan had already taken this opportunity to sneak back to the mountain, so he had to find another way to deal with the beast trainer and spiritual pet.
When he returned to the mountain, the ghost emerged from somewhere and was still squeaking and asking for credit with Li Xuan. It was the one who led the big dog away.
"Not bad, I'm getting smarter."
Li Xuan patted the ghost's head and gave him a ball of shadow spiritual power.
Seeing the ghosts having fun eating, Li Xuan looked down the mountain and the tin houses were lighted up. Some barbarians lit torches nearby to pull up the blockade line. It seemed that they couldn't rest tonight.
In the next two days, Li Xuan was like a dog-legged person in the mouth of an old miner, acting as a foreman every day.
But he was not arrogant and domineering, and just huddled in the corner every day to sleep.
Although Li Xuan seemed to care about anything, he watched all directions and listened to the miners' every move. No matter how much he did, he could escape his attention.
The old miner who almost killed Li Xuan with a miner's pickaxe was named Mi Zhen. He is only in his thirties this year, but he looks very old.
It is said that he was one of the first miners to trick the barbarians, with extremely rich skills and experience. Many of the workers who came with him had already died, so he only persisted.
Because of his seniority and a tough personality, even the barbarians have to sell him some face, so Mi Zhen has great prestige among the old miners.
In just two days, the new miners began to follow Mi Zhen and regarded him as the leader.
Mi Zhen was very cold to Li Xuan. Since the inexplicable attack on the first day, there has been no direct conflict.
However, Li Xuan could feel a feeling of disgust growing underground.
If the barbarians were not always wandering around, miners would hit him at any time.
Fortunately, Li Xuan doesn't care. He has been secretly preparing pills for the past two nights, preparing to explore the barbarian iron houses, and at least find the warehouse of black iron ore.
At night, the miners were still sleeping soundly. The high-intensity work every day made their physical strength on the verge of overdrawing, and there was no possibility of insomnia. As long as they lay down, they would think of thunderous snoring within a few seconds.
When everyone fell asleep, Li Xuan got up, slipped out of the shack, and came to a cliff with a familiarity, and jumped down.
They sneaked into a place not far from the iron house again. Because of the incident a few nights ago, the barbarians burned the nearby weeds with fire, and now there is only a large area of empty charred soil left.
If you get closer rashly, you will be discovered by the barbarians on the nearby sentry tower.
Fortunately, Li Xuan was prepared, so he first poured a bottle of hidden pills, and his body gradually became blurred. Li Xuan walked in the darkness without any worries about being discovered.
However, there is a hidden figure and no scent. No matter how you block the breath, those big dogs with a keen sense of smell will still notice it.
Li Xuan also had a way to deal with it. He pinched a bottle of elixir prepared in the past two days, and a squirt of blue smoke spread into the air, turning into countless tiny particles, fluttering with the wind.
Once a big dog inhales this particle, its sense of smell will be temporarily lost. Even if Li Xuan walks by her, she will not notice it.
After waiting for a while, it was confirmed that the pill could work, and Li Xuan boldly approached the iron house.
Along the way, he discovered several traps set by hunters. It seemed that the barbarians were really vigilant.
Bypassing the trap, Li Xuan quickly came to an outside of an iron house. After two patrolling barbarians walked over from the neighborhood, Li Xuan flashed out and pushed the door of the iron house, but it was not locked.
