The night was hazy, with a crescent moon hanging in the night sky. Occasionally, dark clouds drifted by, covering up the crescent moon and plunging the already hazy earth into deeper darkness.
In a place like the mining area, jagged rocks can be seen everywhere, but there is very little greenery.
In such a large mining area, there are not many shady green trees at all. At most, there are some sparse weeds, taking root in the earth. The Magic Palace Mining Area, the outer area.
An extremely clear clanking sound came from several mines extending underground.
In the mining area, whether it is the Demon Palace or the Heavenly Mansion, those with the lowest status are undoubtedly the miners in the mine.
In this primitive land where great power belongs to itself, mining machinery and the like definitely do not exist. If you want to dig out these rare ores from the ground, you will naturally have to rely on human power.
The rarer the mineral vein, the harder the underground rock is. Even with the help of tools, ordinary people cannot dig out the hard rock in the mineral vein.
Because of these reasons, if the miners in the mining area don't have some strength, it is impossible to mine.
If this were not the case, the true immortals and true demons among Chen Hai and his group of conscripts would not have arrived here and become miners directly.
Once you enter the mine, there is no distinction between day and night. It is truly dark.
The only advantage of becoming a miner may only be in terms of safety. After all, if Chen Hai and other camp soldiers are unlucky, they may lose their lives in a single mission.
Whether it is the Demonic Palace or the Tianfu, although there are constant conflicts, they rarely take action against the miners.
Even if the mine is captured, as long as the miners don't seek death themselves, they will usually just be kidnapped and find another place to work.
In the entire mining area, the rarest thing is undoubtedly the star stone.
Although this rare spiritual material can be used for refining weapons, its most important role is still in setting up formations.
It is said that the Zhoutian Star Dou Formation, a rumored top-level killing array, requires a large amount of star stones to be successfully deployed.
Of course, the real Zhoutian Star Formation has long been discontinued. No one can be sure whether the Star Stone is really needed to set up this formation!
However, the various formations related to star power that remain in the Demon Palace or Tianfu all require the use of star stones. This is a fact that no one can deny.
It is precisely because of the irreplaceability of the Star Stone along the way of the formation that the battle between the Demon Palace and the Heavenly Mansion in this mining area will become more and more intense.
Those clanking sounds are obviously the sounds of the miners fighting at night in the mine. Near the entrance of the mine, there are rows of simple tents in a relatively flat area.
In the camp composed of these simple tents, groups of Demon Palace guards can be seen from time to time, patrolling back and forth nearby. A few miles away, there is a pile of rubble.
The team led by Fang Xuan took advantage of the thick darkness to reach this place and had been lurking for a while.
"Everyone, this camp is our purpose this time."
"Based on what we have observed now, there are about fifty people stationed here in the Demon Palace."
"Just our team, in terms of absolute strength, we are definitely far inferior to them."
"But the purpose of our trip is not to destroy this place and fight them head-on."
"This place is still some distance away from the center of the Demon Palace Mining Area. The star stones they mine are only handed over every seven days."
"Today is exactly the sixth day since the last payment of star stone mines in this camp. Within the camp, there are all the harvests from the mines in the past few days."
"Those star stone mines are the real purpose of our trip."
"Remember, when we launch a surprise attack later, you just have to hold off the demon palace guards and find the place in the camp where the star stone mine is stored. As long as the star stone mine is obtained, don't be reluctant to fight and leave as soon as possible!"
The whole body was huddled behind a half-man-high rock, already looking at
Fang Xuan, who had been inspecting the camp for a while, withdrew his gaze, scanned the people nearby, and explained with an expressionless face.
"There are fifty guards from the Demon Palace in the camp. With our little strength, how can we hold them back?" After hearing Fang Xuan's words, Sun Hongtu and the others looked at each other in disbelief, their expressions extremely ugly.
Looking at them from a distance, although they didn't know the strength of those Demon Palace guards, they thought they would definitely not be much worse than their Tianfu counterparts. If they were evenly matched and allowed them to hold off each other for a while, that would be okay.
But now, there are ten people on one side and nearly fifty on the other side. They launch a surprise attack. Although they can take the initiative, if they go up, it will be one against five!
Sun Hongtu, Shen Fei and others looked at each other one by one. They really doubted whether Captain Fang Xuan wanted to trap all of them to death.
"A piece of star stone can be exchanged for ten points of merit in the Hall of Merit."
"In the Demon Palace Mine, five or six days of harvest have been accumulated. If you are lucky, there will still be one hundred and eighty pieces of star stone ore."
"Wealth can be gained through risk. If you want to gain a lot without taking some risks, it is definitely impossible."
"Although there are many people in this camp, the strongest ones are nothing more than immortals."
"I know that your strength is a bit weak. It is definitely impossible to defeat them with a small number of enemies. But if you dare to fight and fight hard, and delay them for a few breaths, the problem should not be big."
"What? You have objections to my words, and you want to disobey me?"
Glancing coldly at his subordinates, Fang Xuan looked dissatisfied and snorted. At the level of a heavenly being, his strength is considered to be top-notch.
In the camp in the Demon Palace in front of us, although there were more than ten or twenty immortal-level practitioners, there were only one or two at most who could rival Fang Xuan in strength.
As long as these people under his command can share some of the pressure for him, just to protect themselves, Fang Xuan feels that he is at least 80% sure. As for the final outcome of Sun Hongtu, Shen Fei and others?
As long as he can successfully grab the star stone and not all his men are dead, in Fang Xuan's opinion, he has won.
After all, conflicts of all sizes between their Demonic Palace and the Heavenly Mansion happened almost every day, and there was no day when several people would not die.
"Captain Fang, we don't want to disobey orders. I just think that we can send one person first to alert the enemy and see if we can lure away some of the guards in the camp."
"If we're lucky, maybe we can use this to deduce the location of the star stone mine in the camp from the reactions of the guards."
"As far as I know, Chen Hai in our team is very good at concealing traces. Although he is just an Earth Immortal, when it comes to his ability to protect himself, even I think he is far inferior. .”
"If he has no objection, I think we can send him there first to test the reaction of the other party's camp."
Among the crowd, Shen Fei rolled his eyes. He took a step forward, saluted Fang Xuan, and suggested. Not only him, but also Sun Hongtu and others in the team had also long been unhappy with Chen Hai.
At this moment, they spoke immediately, followed Shen Fei, and echoed. This chapter has been completed!
