If he dared to take another step forward, he was afraid that his identity would be exposed. He turned his head stiffly and said coldly:
"What's up?"
"We have been here for a year. Does the young master have any latest instructions?" The person who asked the question had a flash of impatience between his eyebrows.
The young master they talked about was naturally Yu Wenle, who was arranged by the other party to watch these people here, or to look for elixirs in extremely cold places.
Life was hard, and they were full of complaints but didn't dare to vent, so they had no choice but to ask if there were any new instructions.
"Everything is as usual for now, the young master has not said anything." Qin Xiaofei shook his head and pretended to be cold.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that his identity was not exposed.
The five people sighed helplessly when they heard this, waved their hands to Qin Xiaofei and said:
"We don't have any other meaning when we ask this. Brothers, please don't spread it randomly."
They didn't want this matter to reach Yu Wenle's ears. At least they would be placed in a dangerous place at the bottom of the mine, and in serious cases their lives would be in danger.
Qin Xiaofei nodded and continued walking down.
Because of this successful experience, he had a lot of confidence, and he walked down five floors in the same way before reaching the bottom of the mine.
On the last layer, the light emitted by the luminous pearl is covered by dust and tiny ice crystals, and can only emit a weak light.
It's like the outer cover of an oil lamp is blackened, and the light reflected becomes dim and burnt.
Everyone wore masks uniformly on their faces, and the magic circles on them circulated, isolating some tiny ice crystal particles from the outside of the masks.
The breath will also fluctuate in the soul state. If these tiny ice crystal particles are inhaled, a cold feeling will appear in the body.
If you inhale it for a long time, your life will be short.
Ice crystal jade is beneficial to the human body, but the content is too high, especially if it is inhaled from the soul state, it will cause great damage.
From time to time, people working inside would break out into violent coughs, and their soul power would drift away.
Since Qin Xiaofei did not wear a mask, he immediately attracted the attention of many people after entering the last level.
There are only a few people working here, and the Haunted Soul Palace only sent two people to take care of it.
"Come to the last floor, why don't you wear an anti-ice crystal mask?" One of them had long hair reaching his waist, but he made a male voice.
In the early days of ice crystal jade mining, inhalation of ice crystals caused the death and injury of many masters in Soul Erosion Hall, so it is stipulated that you must wear a mask when you come here.
"I was in a hurry to change my shift, and I forgot my mask." Qin Xiaofei said in a normal voice.
The long-haired man asked coldly: "Where is the other person?"
The last floor is guarded by two people. Now only Qin Xiaofei comes by himself, which means that one of them needs to stay here for a while.
"He will be here soon. He may have been delayed because he encountered some Ganoderma treasure." Qin Xiaofei said in a low voice.
"If you are in a hurry, you can go out first. I will take care of it myself. It doesn't matter."
Now he just wants to get the two of them out, and then search the entire bottom of the mine for the existence of Ice Soul Chalcedony.
"Okay, in that case I'll leave it to you." The long-haired man took off the mask and handed it to Qin Xiaofei.
The tiny ice crystals around him were only harmful to the soul, so he still wanted to get out of here quickly.
The other person also walked up in a hurry, feeling that the person on the shift today was more interesting.
Qin Xiaofei put on the mask and felt the formation flow inside the mask, isolating the ice crystals from the outside.
He waited for the two of them to disappear completely, then walked towards the bottom and began to look for his target.
Ice soul chalcedony is the crystallization of the entire ice crystal jade mine, which can be said to be extremely precious.
Qin Xiaofei inspected the interior and did not sense the presence of Ice Soul Chalcedony.
There seems to be something special in the rock that can block the detection of soul power. If you want to dig out good things inside, you must have some incredible luck.
Normally, the guards of the Soul Erosion Hall would only stay not far from the entrance, so as to avoid ice crystals entering the body.
But Qin Xiaofei's abnormal operation made the workers couldn't help but look at Qin Xiaofei.
I entered the bottom alone and looked around. It was my first time here.
There are a total of ten people working on this floor. After exchanging glances, they are ready to take action.
They have been waiting for a week for the opportunity for something to go wrong in the Soul Erosion Hall. If they stay any longer, they may disappear here.
They had already had a chance to escape internally, but they just lacked a perfect opportunity.
Now there is only one guard left, and he is beside them, which is a once-in-a-lifetime situation.
If they miss this opportunity, they will never be able to escape.
The people who were working silently approached Qin Xiaofei, hoping to take advantage of Qin Xiaofei's unpreparedness and attack directly.
When ten people surrounded Qin Xiaofei, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Do it!"
Soon after, Qin Xiaofei reacted the moment he heard the sound, and hurriedly exploded with soul power and stepped backwards.
His speed was more than double that of ten people, but he was still unable to cope with being attacked from both sides. He received two punches in the back and one punch in the face.
When these people took action, they had the intention of killing them. After all, as long as Qin Xiaofei opened his mouth to call for help, they would have no way to survive.
Qin Xiaofei's soul power fluctuated for a while, and his soul became visibly weaker.
Blessings never come in pairs, misfortunes never come alone. All the masks he wore were shattered, and the ice crystals in the air continued to penetrate into his soul.
A cold feeling vaguely came from his body, which made his soul even worse. There was already a feeling of ice in his chest.
When dealing with the nine-tailed fox before, Fu Xiqin used all his remaining strength and suffered a lot of damage himself.
If he stayed at the bottom of the mine any longer, he might turn into an ice sculpture without anyone else taking action.
He didn't have time to take care of this, and his body suddenly swept backwards, adjusting the fluctuations of his soul power.
Originally, he spent a lot of soul power just to attract the nine-tailed fox, but now if he fights against ten people, the result can be imagined.
But now that the other party has regarded him as someone from the Soul Erosion Hall, it is basically impossible to explain clearly.
When the ten people who were working saw that Qin Xiaofei was still alive under the beating, they immediately mobilized their soul power to attack again.
What they cause damage here is their own souls, which makes the attack ineffective.
If they were in peak condition, one of them could disperse Qin Xiaofei's soul with one blow.
However, Qin Xiaofei was seriously injured, which made them feel a little relieved. It seemed that they were most likely to escape this time.
But one of the ten people was stunned when he saw Qin Xiaofei's face and shouted:
"Stop!"
The remaining nine people looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why, but the fluctuations in their soul power did not stop, and the target was Qin Xiaofei.
If Qin Xiaofei dared to shout, he would definitely be silenced completely.
I saw one of the female figures taking off the mask on her face, and said with a look of surprise:
"Qin Xiaofei, I finally see you!"
Qin Xiaofei was stunned. He did not expect to see Chen Tianqing, the seventh princess of the Dali Dynasty, in such a place.
At this time, Chen Tianqing didn't look as fat as before, even during the day.
She looked much tougher than before, and she didn't look like a princess at all.
"Why are you here?" Qin Xiaofei asked confused.
Although the Dali Dynasty was not as good as Shengzhou, Chen Tianqing could still live freely with his status.
Besides, Chen Tianqing has no intention of climbing up the ladder, so it would be more appropriate to stay in the Dali Dynasty.
The nine people working around him all looked at Chen Tianqing, and they couldn't figure out why the other person knew the people from Soul Erosion Hall.
There was a hint of shyness on Chen Tianqing's face, which seemed out of place in this environment.
She answered the question unexpectedly:
"After I separated from you, I went to the temple to finally find a way to lose weight, but when I looked for you, I couldn't find it."
"I asked someone to inquire about the news. I heard that you came to the Holy State in the Void Formation, so I followed you."
"In the end, he wandered along a bumpy road and was imprisoned here by the people from the Soul Corrupting Palace."
Qin Xiaofei shook his head helplessly. He really didn't expect Chen Tianqing to be so bold and dare to come to the Holy State without authorization.
Even if the emperor of the Dali Dynasty comes, this place will not work, and no one will care at all.
"Don't you have a grudge against the people of the Soul Eating Society?" Chen Tianqing frowned slightly.
"Why did you join the Soul Erosion Hall?"
She has now reached a cooperation with this group of people and wants to escape from here together.
But Qin Xiaofei, who had been searching hard, became the guard of the Soul Erosion Hall.
This left her in a dilemma, not knowing who to help.
Qin Xiaofei shook his head:
"I didn't join the Hall of Eroting Souls. I dressed like this just to hide myself from others."
"If you want to escape, you must plan again. There are many guards on each floor, and their strength is not bad."
"Based on your fighting power, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape smoothly."
He had no intention of attacking these people, he just stated the facts.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this. They all guessed the result in their hearts, but they still wanted to give it a try.
Just when the atmosphere was dull, Chen Tianqing whispered:
"Qin Xiaofei, your mask is broken."
After this reminder, Qin Xiaofei remembered this matter and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, but this method had little effect.
Chen Tianqing pulled off the mask and handed it to Qin Xiaofei, looking very happy:
"You take it first and use it."
Qin Xiaofei was stunned but did not refuse.
However, he first took off his black robe and handed it to Chen Tianqing. After all, it was indecent to come and not go!
"You put on your robe and come up to get some fresh air. I'll use the mask first."
"You can discuss some countermeasures first, but it may not take too long. The guards of the Hall of Souls will come down soon, and I'm afraid I will be exposed."
After that, he put on the mask and began to search for the Ice Soul Chalcedony inside.
The mine at the bottom is not very large and the environment is special, resulting in extremely slow mining.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Qin Xiaofei searched the interior and found no trace of ice crystal chalcedony.
Moreover, because the soul was severely injured, ice crystal particles in the air were also inhaled, causing the soul to suffer severe pain.
Is it possible to give up now?
Qin Xiaofei is not reconciled!
If you miss this opportunity, let Soul Erosion Hall notice it and increase the strength of its guards.
It is very unrealistic for him to enter the mine again.
So this time we must get the Ice Crystal Jade Soul!
At this time, Chen Tianqing borrowed a mask and came to Qin Xiaofei again and asked:
"Qin Xiaofei, what are you looking for again?"
Qin Xiaofei took a deep breath: "Ice Soul Chalcedony."
He thought that Chen Tianqing had been down here for a long time and should be able to discover something, so he asked:
"Did you notice anything unusual down here?"
Chen Tianqing shook his head when he heard this.
She fishes every day and thinks about how to escape.
Or how he saw Qin Xiaofei again without noticing anything unusual about this place.
"There is a place where the rock and soil are extremely hard, and the guards are not allowed to dig."
At this time, a voice came from behind.
The person who spoke was the middle-aged man who just broke Qin Xiaofei's mask.
Qin Xiaofei's expression condensed and he immediately asked:
"Can you please tell me where it is?"
Now if there is even the slightest clue, he can't miss it.
The middle-aged man pointed at a slightly bulging spot on the left side of the ice crystal mine.
"Thank you." Qin Xiaofei cupped his hands slightly.
He turned around and walked in the direction pointed by the middle-aged man.
"Cheng Munian, how did you see that there was something weird in that place?" Chen Tianqing asked curiously.
"Is it possible that you still know something secret?"
Cheng Munian has a little elegance about him, which is quite different from the working people.
He looked at the bulge and shook his head:
"It's just a guess. You and I are both prisoners. How could I know any secrets?"
"But the mine is only so big, so this is the only place that's weird."
Qin Xiaofei walked to the place where the rocks bulged and began to observe carefully.
I found that this bulging place looked like a huge basalt tortoise shell, full of gaps.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't widen the crack.
Even using mining tools is useless.
At this moment, a figure from outside suddenly rushed in, speaking in an extremely hasty tone:
"The guards are here, two of them in total!"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened and their expressions were full of panic.
And Cheng Munian shouted coldly: "Act according to the plan we just made."
"If we don't succeed this time, we will all be devastated."
“So you have to be prepared to deal with it with all your might!”
After saying that, he motioned with his eyes for everyone to disperse and look for the right opportunity to act.
Every time there is a change of manpower in the Hall of Soul Erosion, the number of people will be counted.
So there must be someone wearing a black robe to deal with these people.
Originally, they all agreed to let Qin Xiaofei evacuate here first, and then talk about it after they took action.
But Qin Xiaofei shook his head and refused, letting Chen Tianqing wear a black robe and go up first.
This is not pity for women.
Instead, he wanted to use the last moment to search for the existence of the Ice Crystal Jade Soul.
Once they start fighting, there will definitely be a lot of movement.
This also caused him to miss his last chance.
Everyone hurriedly returned to their original positions, pretending to be working, but their eyes were always observing the entrance.
After a few breaths, two guards from Soul Erosion Hall came in cursing.
They nodded to Chen Tianqing, which was regarded as a handover.
It’s not strange for one person to be the guard.
Everyone is well aware of this phenomenon, and they don't even care about it once in a while.
The two turned around and counted the number of people before starting to check the progress of the work.
"When we are on duty, please be honest, otherwise you will lose your soul!"
They circled around and walked toward the entrance, trying to avoid the ice crystals in the air.
Qin Xiaofei and the other ten people all held tools in their hands, with a cold look in their eyes.
Now is the time to take action!
They tightened the tools in their hands and when they started, two people came outside again.
This made everyone take a breath of cold air and stop what they were doing.
They looked at each other with panic in their eyes.
What is going on today?
Four guards from the Hall of Soul Erosion came unexpectedly!
