The Tiankeng mineral vein is located in a dense forest a thousand miles north of Yanshi City. There is no name here. It is just a very ordinary dense forest surrounded by mountains. The nearest city is Yanmu City. Now Yanmu City and
Like Yanshi City, it had already fallen.
Yanmu City has now been completely controlled by the eldest prince. All the warriors in the city who have some cultivation but are not particularly strong have been captured, especially the warriors in the body refining realm who are the most popular.
These monks and warriors are much stronger than ordinary people, and their cultivation level is not very high, so they can be easily controlled and enslaved.
But at the moment, the eldest prince doesn't care about that much at all. Anyone who disobeys will be caught in the Tiankeng mines. Those who obey the forces and families also need to send many people to mine, and at the same time, they have to provide money to the big people.
The prince has many benefits, so he can avoid being captured.
For example, the Ling family did not want to be enslaved, so they rose up to resist. However, they did not expect that the people led by the Ninth Prince were too strong. They were no match for them. After many people were killed and injured, everyone in the Ling family was captured and sent to
Tiankeng ore veins to mine.
Although the tiankeng mineral vein is called a tiankeng, it is actually not very big. It is only a pit with a diameter of more than ten feet. However, the pit looks bottomless from the outside, as if it is a tiankeng.
It looked like it had been smashed out by something.
No one had paid attention to this place before, and there was no such big pit here. Some time ago, someone accidentally discovered such a pit. I don’t know when it appeared. After going in to investigate, I found that there were spiritual stones in it.
After the news leaked, many people from Yanmu City came here to dig for spiritual stones. Later, people from Yan Kingdom found out about this matter and immediately sent the eldest prince and other princes to resolve the matter.
The first thing the eldest prince did when he came here was to kill all the people who had been mining before and completely block the news. Then he sent troops to occupy this place and continued to bring people from Yanmu City and nearby cities to mine.
, monopolized the entire spirit stone mine.
At the same time, they also sent people down to explore the spiritual stone mine, and found that the sinkhole was extremely deep, as if there was no bottom, and there were spiritual stones everywhere around the sinkhole. The deeper you go, the higher the purity of the spiritual stones.
After the eldest prince heard the news, he was extremely excited. If the Yan Kingdom could dig out all the mineral veins in the sinkhole in front of them, the Yan Kingdom's national power would increase several times.
Ling Feng came to the woods near the Tiankeng mine. Originally, Ling Feng only knew a general direction and it was difficult to find it. But after arriving here, Ling Feng was able to conclude that he was in the right place.
The originally ordinary forest was now filled with soldiers from the Yan Kingdom. These soldiers were in teams of ten, patrolling the area. It didn’t take much to think about it. There must be something important here, so they sent troops to guard it.
.
When Ling Feng saw this, he thought to himself that the eldest prince was too clever but was misled by his cleverness. If he didn't send someone to guard here, no one would notice such an ordinary little place.
Sending troops to patrol and garrison here will make people suspicious. This is clearly telling others that there is a treasure inside.
Some ordinary casual cultivators, or monks and warriors who are not very powerful, do not dare to offend these people, so they naturally do not dare to come forward.
But Ling Feng was different. Ling Feng came here to save people. Ling Feng did not alert the soldiers outside and sneaked in quietly.
Standing on the peaks surrounded by the tiankeng ore veins, I carefully looked at the tiankeng ore veins below.
I saw the tiankeng mineral vein at this moment. Many sentries were set up around the tiankeng. There were many warriors holding whips, and they were constantly whipping the miners on the side. While beating them, they were still there while cursing: "Hurry up.
, if you linger like this, I will beat you to death."
"Whoever does the most work today will have food to eat. The one who does the least will starve to me. If he still does the least tomorrow, he will die. We don't want waste here! Please work harder."
Behind these sentries are temporary wooden houses, some of which are responsible for collecting spiritual stones, and some of which are occupied by people watching the scene, in case something unexpected happens here.
Ling Feng carefully investigated and found that there were relatively powerful auras emanating from several rooms. Ling Feng even noticed the powerful people in the Dragon-Wandering Realm.
If he hadn't noticed the Wandering Dragon Realm warrior, Ling Feng would have gone in directly, but now Ling Feng held back and was ready to make long-term plans.
After all, if the one from the Wandering Dragon Realm is alerted, he may not be able to handle it easily, not to mention there are so many people here, if an accident occurs, it is easy to be besieged.
Ling Feng hid in the dark, quietly checking everything inside, looking for his father. No matter what, Ling Feng had to find his father first.
Ling Feng squatted high, hiding his aura so as not to be noticed by others, staring at the people below without blinking, looking for his father's figure.
After watching for a long time, Ling Feng didn't see his father. Instead, he saw a few people from the Ling family. These people were all weak.
At this moment, all the members of the Ling family were shackled, dressed in ragged clothes, and unkempt, lining up to go to the wooden house in front to hand over the excavated spiritual stones.
It was half an hour after these people came out that Ling Feng saw his father Ling Yuan Shan. When he saw Ling Yuan Shan walking out of the tiankeng mine veins, Ling Feng's heart suddenly trembled and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
At this moment, Ling Yuanshan was in a dilapidated state, his clothes were worn out, and his body was covered in bloodstains from whips. Some of the bloodstains were solidified, and some were still bleeding.
Ling Yuanshan moved slowly. His left leg was dragging on the ground. It looked like it was broken. He couldn't walk at all. He could only support his body with his right leg and move forward little by little.
Even so, the person who was looking at them whipped Ling Yuanshan's body with a whip at this moment, and cursed: "Quickly leave! I am the slowest to save you. You are still in the Qi Gathering Realm. Even a person in the Body Refining Realm can't help you."
Nothing compares to that, what a waste."
When Ling Feng saw this scene, his eyes were splitting and his whole body was shaking. Ling Feng never expected that his father was injured so seriously.
When he saw someone on the side whipping his father with a whip, Ling Feng's heart twitched, as if the whip had hit his heart, which made Ling Feng feel heartbroken.
Ling Feng gritted his teeth and looked at the man. He remembered this man and would never let him go. He would be beaten to death with a whip.
Ling Feng was extremely anxious at the moment, his mind was running rapidly, trying to find a way to rescue his father Ling Yuanshan. He couldn't go on like this. If he continued like this, his father would be beaten to death.
