After sending Zheng Chen to the mine, Yu Zhong slapped his ass and left, looking very relieved about Zheng Chen.
There is a branch vein in this mine that is rich in divine stones. The number of divine stones produced is one-fifth of all the divine stones mined by the entire Guiyuan Sect. It is no wonder that Yu Zhong attaches great importance to this and would let an elder sit in it.
this.
Originally, the person in charge here was a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect in the late Tongming period, but when that guy was guarding this place, he colluded with thieves from other sects and robbed a large number of sacred stones. Fortunately, Yu Zhong discovered it in time and took action to kill the guy and him.
The thief was killed.
Later, another disciple of the late Tongming period was sent, but although that person was loyal to the Guiyuan Sect, he was unable to frighten those thieves from other sects, and he almost died several times.
The thieves are powerful, which is one of the reasons why Yu Zhong asked Zheng Chen to take charge here personally.
But for Zheng Chen, the top priority is not to deal with those thieves, because they will come to his door on their own initiative. What he needs to do most is to first find out the reason why the miners died inexplicably.
If there are no miners, should the Guiyuan Sect disciples be allowed to mine?
Miners are a special kind of beings raised by all major sects in the God Realm. They are ape-men caught from those primitive forests or wild worlds. They do not know how to practice, but they are born with strong bodies. Each of them has a life span of thousands of years.
, more suitable for mining.
There are many organizations in the God Realm that specialize in capturing ape-men. After they capture ape-men, they bring them to the city and sell them to various major sects, but the prices are not low.
There are not many disciples of Guiyuan Sect, and the overall strength of the sect is not strong. Naturally, they will not organize disciples to go into the wild world or virgin forest. They can only buy them in the city, and after buying them, the apes will need a period of training and taming before they can be put into use.
Go to work in the mines.
Therefore, every miner is regarded as a property of Guiyuan Zong. Yu Zhong will definitely not be happy if these properties disappear inexplicably.
In addition to Zheng Chen, there are three supervisors in the mine to the west, all disciples of the Guiyuan Sect in the middle period of Tongming. When they heard that the elder had come, they were naturally very happy and led Zheng Chen around the mine.
This mine has dozens of branch tunnels, and nearly a hundred ape-man miners are digging in those tunnels day and night.
Although the environment of the mine is a bit poor, the divine power inside is very rich. These divine powers have not been processed in any way. They are full of the mine, but they limit the monks' spiritual consciousness.
Even Zheng Chen cannot use his spiritual consciousness to completely cover the dozens of branch tunnels in the entire mine.
After checking every mine, Zheng Chen found nothing, so he was led by three supervisor disciples to a secret room.
This secret room is clean and neatly arranged. It was the place where the person in charge of the mine used to meditate and practice. It is not far from the entrance of the entire mine.
Naturally, there are many restrictions at the entrance of the mine. If thieves want to enter, they must break through those restrictions. And this place is not very far from Tianjian Peak, the core location of Guiyuan Sect. If the thieves attack the restrictions, Guiyuan will
Yuan Zong's masters will soon arrive to support, so how did they succeed in the past?
Zheng Chen only found out after asking three supervisor disciples that the thieves originally kept a kind of monster that eats forbidden insects, which can silently swallow the forbidden insects at the entrance.
A mature taboo-devouring insect can instantly devour all the divine taboos below the fourth level, while five mature taboo-devouring insects can even swallow the fifth-level taboo in an instant. The masters of Gui Yuanzong can only
Being able to deploy a fourth-grade high-level divine ban, it is natural that it cannot stop those thieves.
Even if you set up a divine formation, it won't work. The Forbidden-Eating Insects can find the formation base and formation eyes, and then eat them clean.
After Zheng Chen understood it, he asked the three supervisor disciples to go about their work, while he thought about it quietly.
Without any clues, Zheng Chen could not find out why the miners died in a short period of time. In the past few days since he came to the mine, one or two ape-man miners died every day.
After studying the corpses of those ape-man miners for a long time, Zheng Chen still gained nothing.
On the tenth day after he arrived here, thieves really came to loot the mine. They used forbidden-eating insects to destroy the formations and restrictions placed at the entrance of the mine, and then drove straight in and fought their way into the depths of the mine.
There were more than a dozen monks who came to the realm of enlightenment. They were all wrapped in black robes. The black robes not only covered their appearance, but also blocked the monks' spiritual consciousness. Even Zheng Chen couldn't use his spiritual consciousness to penetrate that.
Black robe.
Zheng Chen did not intercept them at the entrance of the cave and allowed them to rush in. Then Zheng Chen blocked the entrance of the cave.
The thieves in black had just entered the mine when they noticed someone behind them, so naturally they turned around immediately.
"No, this is a master!"
There were also monks with good eyesight among the thieves. They instantly judged that Zheng Chen's strength must be extraordinary. Otherwise, how could they dare to block the entrance of the cave alone, as if they wanted to kill him and others in one fell swoop?
"Get out!" a thief shouted.
Then more than a dozen thieves in black took out their magic treasures and talismans and pounced on Zheng Chen like tigers and wolves.
Before they arrived, the divine treasures and talismans in their hands had turned into streams of divine light and shot towards them.
A contemptuous smile appeared on Zheng Chen's lips. Even if he stood still, these low-grade divine treasures and talismans could not break through his physical defense. But he would definitely not let these people attack him. With a thought,
The fourth-grade divine armor he had obtained before was put on his body, and the cloud shuttle was suspended above his head.
Those divine treasures and divine talismans that were no more than third-grade high-level were directly carried down by Zheng Chen with divine armor, and then the cloud-piercing shuttle turned into a stream of light and whizzed out, piercing through the body of a black-clothed thief at an extremely fast speed.
Lower abdomen, strangled the divine infant on the spot.
The fourth-grade mid-level offensive divine treasure is naturally not something that ordinary monks can defend against. Zheng Chen may look down on the fourth-grade divine treasure, but it does not mean that the fourth-grade divine treasure is really bad.
Then, under the control of Zheng Chen's spiritual thoughts, the Chuan Yun Shuttle continued to shuttle among the crowd of black-clothed thieves. Every time it flashed, one black-clothed man's life would be taken away. After a while, only three of the dozen or so black-clothed thieves were left.
People.
When Zheng Chen attacked, the thieves in black never stopped attacking, but they were still unable to break through Zheng Chen's divine armor. Occasionally, some threatening attacks would be weakened by Zheng Chen using the Lihuo Seal.
Power.
"Are you really prepared to kill them all?" Just after the shuttle penetrated the body of another thief in black, a short thief in black couldn't help but ask.
Zheng Chen knew that the man in black who ordered to rush out before was this person and should be the leader of the thieves in black, so Zheng Chen kept him here.
"Since you dare to come, are you still afraid of death?" Zheng Chen's strength was only exposed a little, so he was naturally not afraid of the two thieves in black, so he put away the cloud shuttle and asked with a smile.
"Of course you are afraid of death. There are no monks in the God Realm who are not afraid of death. However, if you keep a fine line in everything, you can easily kill us with a wave of your hand, which means that you are at least a master of the ethereal god realm, and we have not succeeded here, so please can
Open the net." The monk said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, and seemed to have some toughness.
"Then it depends on whether you can convince me. If your reasons are not sufficient, I won't be able to let you leave alive." Zheng Chen said calmly. From the perspective of Guiyuan Sect, naturally he would not
Let these thieves go.
The monk hesitated for a while, then sighed and said: "Actually, we are not here to snatch the sacred stone, but to find a ghost hidden in the mine."
"Young Master, please don't talk about this!" Another man in black reminded him excitedly.
