In the mining area, the border area between the two major forces of Tianfu and Demonic Palace is not a safe place after all.
Under the big tree, Chen Hai only stayed for a while and then left immediately.
The journey was uneventful, and when he returned to the wing where he lived in the camp, it was already a stick of incense time later.
Of course, this journey is not completely inaccessible.
He encountered as many as six or seven patrol teams along the way, but those people were not strong enough and could not detect his whereabouts at all.
The first time he returned to his residence, Chen Hai took out the storage bags containing the star stone ore.
The interior space of this standard storage bag is not large, only about one cubic meter.
Because the star stone mine inside was to be handed over to the upper echelons of the Demon Palace and was not privately owned, the owners of these storage bags had not been identified.
Mental power was poured into it, and within a few clicks, several storage bags had been opened by Chen Hai.
The cubic meter of space in the storage bag cannot hold much of the star stone the size of a baby's head.
Chen Hai roughly counted the star stone ore stored in several storage bags. The total number of ore should be around 120 yuan.
According to the standard in the Hall of Merit, a piece of star stone ore is worth ten points of merit. If he exchanges all the star stone ore in his hand, he can exchange it for 1,200 points of merit.
To be honest, this amount of merit is actually not that much. After all, in the Merit Hall, if you want to exchange for the cheapest Five Elements Spiritual Item, the merit points required are at least 3,000 or more.
However, Chen Hai never thought about using his merit points to exchange for any five-element spiritual objects.
All this time, he just wanted to practice quietly behind closed doors.
According to the rules set by Wu Meng, the new squad leader, he only needs to hand over one hundred meritorious deeds to him a year, and then he can be free and do not need to worry about anything.
If he just completes this minimum handover standard, Chen Hai can support himself for twelve years with the star stone mines in his hands.
"Fish in troubled waters, the harvest I got from the Demon Palace camp last time was pretty good. The team rules set by Wu Meng are really suitable for me!"
Satisfied, Chen Hai put away the storage bags containing the star stone ore again.
As a person, he disliked the captain above telling him to do this and that, delaying his cultivation time.
If Wu Meng, the new captain, is like this, Chen Hai can only find an opportunity to let him disappear from the world. But fortunately, this man is quite sensible. Since he likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, let him be
alright.
The one hundred merit points handed over to him can be used as protection fees. As long as he keeps his promise and does not interfere with his freedom of movement, Chen Hai will naturally be happy with it.
After putting away a few storage bags, he sat down cross-legged on the large wooden bed in the wing room, and his whole body began to slowly immerse himself in cultivation. Time always passed quickly in peace.
In the blink of an eye, it was already half a year later.
The moonlight tonight is quite bright. Although the moon hanging in the sky is not a real full moon, it is not much different. Without cloud cover, there is not only a full moon in the night sky, but also numerous stars accompanying it.
The junction between Tianfu and Demonic Palace is still under the big tree.
The dark shadow that sneaked over from the Tianfu camp did not leave immediately after passing through the small tree hole as usual.
After carefully searching the area where the big tree was, he sat down cross-legged under the big tree.
After just waiting for a cup of tea, within the scope of the Demon Palace's influence, the same man in black clothes and black trousers and a black scarf flew over at night, a dozen steps away from the big tree.
Stop your body outside.
"The willow branches above the moon!" As if speaking a secret message, the man looked directly at the dark shadow under the big tree and said tentatively.
"We have an appointment after midnight!" The dark figure who came first had already stood up, and he quickly responded.
"Brother Hua!"
"Brother Huang!"
Apparently, the code words must have matched. The two men in black, who were originally wary of each other, looked at each other, clasped their fists, and greeted each other with a smile.
Perhaps, in order to further win each other's trust, after confirming each other's identity, the two of them scanned around and took off half of the black scarf covering their faces.
The so-called Brother Hua is Hua Qing, the squadron leader of the Tianfu Enemy Breaking Camp, who can be regarded as the direct superior of Chen Hai and his team. And that Brother Huang, named Huang Dongming, is a deacon here in the Demon Palace.
"Suddenly, he sent me a message that he wanted to meet me."
"Tell me, what happened?"
"Do you have any news about the thing you were asked to investigate?" Huang Dongming, who was still more than ten steps away from the big tree, after confirming Hua Qing's identity, he took a few steps forward and reached Hua Qing.
Qing's side.
Under the big trees, the tree crowns blocked the shadows cast by the moonlight, making this small area much darker than the surrounding area.
Hua Qing and Huang Dongming, both dressed in black clothes and black trousers, were clearly standing under the big tree, but it gave the impression that they had blended into the shadows.
People with poor eyesight may have difficulty detecting their presence from a distance of more than ten or twenty meters.
"Yes, I did find out some information here."
Nodding, Hua Qing spoke again and added: "More than a year ago, someone dug out a pair of rusty scissors that were half a person's height from the underground mining area."
"Although that thing looks unsightly, its material is very solid. Several weapon-refining masters in the weapon-refining hall in the camp tried their best, but they couldn't even remove the rust on it."
"I feel that this thing is somewhat similar to the thing I was asked to find above."
"But I'm not completely sure whether it is or not."
"This news is only transmitted through secret words, which is not convenient to convey. I invited you here just to inform you of this matter." Scanning the surroundings from time to time, Hua Qing was extremely cautious and explained to Huang Dongming in a low voice.
According to the information he knew, an ancient great master died here many years ago.
After the death of that powerful person, the spiritual treasure she used disappeared and seemed to be buried under the earth. The mission Hua Qing accepted was to find the whereabouts of the spiritual treasure.
As for whether the news that the powerful man died here is definitely accurate? Not only him, but even the powerful man who issued this mission is not completely sure.
After all, these are just some rumors. If you really have to be absolutely sure, the spiritual treasure in the hands of the powerful man who died here is sealed in the earth. Tianfu must have already received the news, and they will also have something to say.
action.
"A pair of rusty scissors half as tall as a man?"
"I will report this matter to the superiors. How to do it depends on what the big shots want!"
"Where is the pair of scissors you mentioned stored? Do you have any clues?"
Frowning slightly, Huang Dongming nodded. He spoke again and asked.
"There is no news yet. Once I find out the whereabouts of this thing, I will send you a message!" Hua Qing responded, shaking his head.
The two murmured for a while again, then left and disappeared into the night. This chapter has been completed!
