Looking at the respectful old man in his fifties in front of him, Qin Fengming's heart seemed to move. This old man turned out to be a monk at the third level of Qi Gathering Stage.
Judging from the meaning of his words, he was originally the person who led the miners in the cave. Including Qin Fengming, there were only seven people.
Along the way, the two of them passed through dozens of forked roads. If there were miners in half of the caves, then there would be two to three hundred people mining here.
According to what the Immortal Master just said, a mining team can collect thirty or forty stones every month. In a year, the number is only ten thousand. Compared with the most barren spiritual stone mines in the human world, such a quantity is far inferior.
.
Although Qin Fengming had not seen the Great Immortal Master of the Foundation Establishment Realm until now, the old man surnamed Bai said that this place belongs to the energy stone mines owned by the two royal cities and is the place that earns the most energy stones every year.
location.
This amount of energy stones left Qin Fengming speechless.
This also made Qin Fengming understand why the immortal master had a smile in his eyes because Qin Fengming agreed to collect a thousand energy stones. If one person collects a thousand energy stones, it will take more than ten years.
It is possible to make up this number.
"Hey, it happened several months ago, but the cause has never been found out. The day before yesterday, the 37th mining team also disappeared. Even Hu Guang, who led the team, disappeared. Ge Leng, you need to pay more attention.
, if you find anything strange, report it immediately and never deal with it alone."
When the Immortal Master Lan heard Ge Leng's last words, his expression suddenly became stern and he sighed softly.
In the past few months, the mines here have lost more than fifty miners, and three of the supernatural wizards who were responsible for the miners' food and collecting energy stones have also disappeared.
This left the Great Immortal Master stationed here and several of their powerful Immortal Masters at a loss.
If it was said that the supernatural master was trying to escape privately in pursuit of the energy stone, it was not impossible. But the miners were nowhere to be found, which greatly surprised the immortal masters.
Although there are several exits for the mineral deposits here, the scope is not very wide, and there are surveillance arrays arranged for more than ten miles around. If a person with supernatural powers is not discovered, he may still be able to do it, but if
Even the miners disappeared quietly, which made it difficult for everyone to explain.
While the Immortal Master Lan was speaking, his eyes were looking at a miner working in the distance. There seemed to be something strange flashing in his eyes, but he quickly looked away again.
Hearing this, Ge Leng was silent for a moment and nodded nervously.
Seeing the immortal master surnamed Lan leaving the cave, Ge Leng turned around, looked at Qin Fengming, looked at him briefly and said: "Since you have signed a ten-year contract with the immortal master, you must abide by the rules of this place.
You have two days to go out. During the other time, you have to mine rocks in the cave here to find energy stones. Your weapon is no longer needed at this time, so you want to put it in the cave over there, get a set of tools, and go there as you like.
Choose a location to mine.”
Ge Leng looked gloomy and spoke casually. His tone was not harsh, but it had a commanding tone.
The cave here is only twenty to thirty feet in size. There are a number of sturdy beast carts parked in the cave. In the distance, six miners are carrying the stones they knocked down onto the beast carts.
Qin Fengming came here not to quarry stones for some immortal master, but he didn't know how to proceed next. Under this condition, he followed Ge Leng's words extremely obediently, received a set of tools, and turned to a seemingly
An elderly miner in his sixties was walking not far away.
Staying in the cave here lasts for several days. In an underground cave, ordinary people have no sense of time at all, but Ge Lieng has an extremely precise grasp of time.
Therefore, there is a time to eat and rest every day.
Ge Leng didn't mind the conversation between the other miners and Qin Fengming, which made it extremely easy for Qin Fengming to find out what he wanted to know.
It turns out that there are mineral deposits here, and more than 200 tribesmen from various surrounding tribes work here all year round.
These miners are generally sent here voluntarily by various tribes. Only in this way can they get some energy stones every year to worship the few people with super powers in the tribe.
Other tribes and clans that have not made offerings can also receive other rewards.
It's just that the miners assigned by these tribes will be replaced every two years. Because working in the dark underground is extremely harmful to people's bodies.
But like Qin Fengming, those who have committed serious crimes need to stay in the mine for several years or even ten years. And the old man in his fifties and sixties entered the mine as a criminal. In
I stayed here for eleven years.
Although this old man named Ke Sai is already quite old and has stayed in the mine for so long, he has no physical injuries at all. Without him, this is because this old man is an immortal master.
It's just that at this time, the magic power in his body was forcibly restrained.
Qin Fengming did not ask about the old man's identity or what crime he had committed, but he was very concerned about other things the old man said about this place.
The old man said that the reason why many miners here have disappeared for no reason is because of thousands of years of mining, the mines have opened up the cave of a strange beast. And that strange beast is very powerful, and it comes and goes without a trace, as long as there is someone
If a miner is touched by it, it will be eaten directly.
When the old man said this, he had a look of horror on his face, as if he was extremely fearful in his heart.
The old man's words were originally extremely terrifying, but the other miners didn't seem to pay too much attention. Everyone had heard this old man say this countless times. Even Ge Leng's expression did not move at all.
When the old man talked about this, it was a few years ago. Whenever new miners came here, he would talk about it. However, the disappearance of large numbers of miners only started in the past few months.
And every time the miners went out for two days, there would be fairy mountains entering the caves to search, but they did not find any of the strange beasts the old man said existed. Therefore, over time, no one believed the old man's words.
Although everyone thought what the old man said was ridiculous, Qin Fengming did not think so.
Although a monk has his magic power imprisoned, his mind will definitely be tougher than that of ordinary people. Although he didn't know what the old man meant by this, he was still a little more vigilant.
And Qin Fengming clearly felt that Ge Leng was very polite and respectful towards this old man.
Ge Leng's intention was not shown, but under the shroud of Qin Fengming's consciousness, some roots were still found deep in his eyes.
What left Qin Fengming speechless was that although there were nearly two hundred miners working here, the spiritual stones were only collected every six months and then sent out to escort them away.
If Qin Fengming wants to harvest the most spiritual stones, he has no chance except when collecting spiritual stones once every six months.
Qin Fengming was not in a hurry about time.
Regardless of whether this place is the spiritual world, it is definitely no longer the human world. Knowing this has already made him feel at ease.
A month later, after everyone took a break, something strange happened.
