When Li Xuan entered this iron house, he saw hundreds of iron boxes of all sizes neatly placed inside, almost filling the houses.
A familiar metal smell surged from his nose. He walked over and moved a tin box and opened it. He saw metal blocks of the same size inside.
"This is...Yun Tie."
Li Xuan took out a piece and muttered to himself as he looked at the cloud-like patterns on it.
Yuntien is also a high-quality metal with high toughness and is often used to make some weapons and machinery that require high flexibility.
Li Xuan looked at the quality of these cloud irons and thought they were good, so he threw a few pieces into the ring space.
Anyway, there are so many iron boxes here, and I don’t know how many barbarians can take away.
But what disappointed Li Xuan was that the whole room was filled with cloud iron, not even a piece of black iron.
"It's a pity that I'm not a spirit beast, otherwise I could smell the location where the black iron was stored by just relying on my nose."
Li Xuan thought helplessly.
He sneaked out of the room, and when the barbarian patrol passed by again, he leisurely opened the door of the second warehouse and jumped in.
It still disappointed Li Xuan. Although this warehouse is filled with expensive pure gold nuggets, it is still not what Li Xuan needs.
However, he believed in the idea of never leaving empty space, Li Xuan naturally put a few heavy gold ingots into the storage ring without hesitation.
The third room, the fourth room, the fifth room... Li Xuan is getting closer and closer to the barbarians' residential area. He has already vaguely heard the noise of the barbarians while drinking and caring, and the barbarian patrols' back and forth are getting shorter and shorter, even
There are also sentries carrying guns and ammunition in many places, monitoring the surrounding situation motionlessly.
"It seems that all your strength needs to be used."
Li Xuan silently let the shadow spiritual power condense into a dark darkness on his body.
With such an extra layer of cover, plus the hidden pill, those sentries should not be discovered if they were not deliberately observing.
After searching for ten warehouses, the last warehouse was on the edge of the barbarian residential area. A listless barbarian sentry was watching at the door. A silver musket hung around his waist, and a sharp and heavy one on his back.
Giant axe, it seems that this warehouse must have the most precious goods stored.
Li Xuan quietly touched the sentry without notice at all. He didn't feel any doubt until a fragrant gas sucked into his nose.
Unfortunately, it was a little late at this time. His consciousness was a little confused, his head tilted slightly, and he fell into a coma.
Li Xuan reached out to support him in time, leaned him gently against the wall, and even put on a "deep thinking" posture.
After confirming that the barbarians who were patrolling would not be seen through, Li Xuan opened the door of the last warehouse and entered.
Compared with other warehouses, this warehouse seems a hundred times shabby.
About thirty or forty iron boxes were placed alone in the center of the warehouse, empty.
The fewer the number, the more precious it is. This is simply a truth that is unsatisfactory.
Li Xuan held his breath and went to open the iron box, and saw pieces of metal emitting a dim luster placed inside.
"Black iron!"
Li Xuan recognized it at a glance that the iron box was full of high-quality black iron.
This kind of ore is only produced in the barbarian country. It is very precious and is a necessary material for building top-quality weapons. One kilogram of black iron can be exchanged for five times the weight of gold on the black market, and it has a price that is not available.
"Very good, I accepted it with a smile."
Li Xuan was about to put the black iron into the storage ring when a sound of footsteps suddenly rang in his ears.
"Oops!"
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and the direction is coming here, and there are more than one person coming.
Li Xuan's brain turned at high speed. He immediately put the black iron back into place, glanced in the warehouse, jumped gently, and pressed against the roof like a big bat, overlooking everything below.
Just as I fixed my body, a slap and a scolding came from outside the warehouse.
"I fell asleep while I was on guard, and your bonus this month is gone."
"I...I..." The barbarian sentry, who was so beaten up, held his swollen face very innocently. He couldn't figure out why he fell asleep. He only smelled a scent in his memory, but it was certain that it was not a dream.
Is it?
The door of the warehouse opened, and several people walked in with wind lights.
The leader is Mada. Li Xuan has found out that he is the boss of this "death mine". He is said to be a gangster with a backstage. He relies on desperately squeezing the lives of miners to make bloody profits. He is definitely a bastard.
"Master, all the black iron ingots are here, but the quality is very ordinary.
If you are not in a hurry, I suggest you wait for the latest mine vein to be excavated."
Motor stood in front of the pile of iron boxes and said to another barbarian following behind him.
He didn't notice anyone peeping above his head.
The barbarians following behind the motor spoke, "I have gone to see that mineral vein. Its quality is very good, and it may bring us surprises."
As soon as the barbarian spoke, Li Xuan was stunned. He turned his head slightly and found a better angle to look at the barbarian's face. Sure enough, he caught a glimpse of a familiar face.
Chen Xuan, who had escaped among the mountains before, actually met again here. This world is really small.
Seeing Chen Xuan's appearance, Li Xuan simply blocked the aura on his body. You should know that the other party was a monk who was proficient in tracking techniques, and no movement could escape his alertness.
However, Chen Xuan never seemed to have an enemy hidden above his head. He and Ma Da were discussing the "black iron vein".
"If we can find the Black Iron Spirit, we will be rich."
Motor rubbed the pair of fat palms and said excitedly.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly: "The soul is not that easy to find, and it is not necessarily possible to touch a piece in a hundred years.
But this time the mineral veins are really good, so you will be more careful with your subordinates.”
"Don't worry, a piece of soul tops a thousand pieces of black iron. Of course, I have to send the top workers to such things."
Motor said confidently, "Unless there is no spirit, it will be discovered without any damage."
"very good.
Then I'll stay here for a few days, hoping to hear good news from you."
Chen Xuan said as he walked out the door first, and the motor followed behind him, still talking nonstop.
When their steps and the sound of conversation went away, Li Xuan jumped down lightly, but he was thinking about what they had just talked about.
"The Black Iron Spirit Soul sounds amazing.
Since it is possible to discover such a thing, I'll wait."
Li Xuan first released the hypnotic gas, causing the poor sentry outside to fall asleep again, and then left the warehouse.
Back in the shack, Li Xuan fell asleep with a heavy head. He just had to wait patiently for the barbarians to dig out the mysterious iron spirit.
But be careful these days and never be met by Chen Xuan.
Although there has never been a real meeting between the two, this kind of person has a strong sixth sense, and it is impossible for him to not be able to find him every time.
In the following days, Li Xuan kept observing the movements of the barbarians.
He found that in the early morning every day, a secret team entered the mine. These people included both humans and barbarians. Not only were the uniforms different from ordinary miners, but they also carried advanced mine equipment.
Li Xuan guessed that these people were the top miners mentioned by Mada. As long as you keep an eye on them, you should get news about the Black Iron Spirit.
...Under the dark mine, the miners sat around the old miner Mi Zhen, drinking water and eating dry food while pestering Mi Zhen to tell the story of the mine.
After several days of training, the group of miners who came with Li Xuan have gradually mastered the tricks of mining and have become junior skilled workers. At the same time, they have become familiar with old miners such as Mi Zhen.
Whenever they were resting, they asked Mi Zhen about the situation here, hoping to leave one day.
"Brother Mi Zhen, why is this a bad name called Death Mine?"
A young and very light miner asked, his face was covered with mud, like a native.
Mi Zhen took a bite of dry food and sneered, "When it comes to the name of Death Mine, it has its origin."
"What is the origin? Tell us."
The miners asked with great interest.
The faces of several old miners flashed with gloomy expressions at the same time. Mi Zhen sighed and said, "The reason why this place is called the Death Mine is because there is a famous curse circulating..." "Curse?"
The timid miner's face turned pale.
The mine is full of terrifying colors, and every time I go down the well, I have to worry, for fear that I will never have the chance to return to the ground.
Now there are rumors of curses, so it would be strange if miners are not afraid.
"What kind of curse is it?"
Someone asked with a strong curiosity.
"I also heard from the old miners in the past. It is said that this mine vein was discovered thirty years ago. It was originally just a very small mine cave. Because the best cloud iron was discovered, it attracted miners from all over the mainland.
Among them is a human named Xin Qiang. He made an agreement with a girl from his hometown to work here for three years and save enough money and go back to marry her."
Mi Zhen's voice was very low, as if he was recalling a very sad past.
His tone and the content of the story infected the miners who had resonance. Before he could even talk about the real painful plot, someone's eyes became wet.
Even Li Xuan, who was excluded from the circle, listened carefully to Mi Zhen’s story. This dark mine is too boring, and it is always good to hear stories.
"The miner named Xin Qiang worked very hard and was very lucky. In just one year, he became a well-known miner master and saved a lot of money.
But one day, a group of barbarians suddenly came here, claiming that they had ownership of the mine, and forcibly drove all the miners out."
The miners all knew who the barbarians Mi Zhen mentioned were, and they all looked angry.
