Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 659 Miners
"Okay, let's go." However, to Qi Lan's surprise, Ye Shuo readily agreed, which made him a little at a loss for a moment, and he stood there blankly, stuttering for a while. Asked: "Huh? Brother, you promised me now?"

"Otherwise... I will tell you the reasons why I can't go, and in the end you still don't have to go. Even if I thoroughly analyze the pros and cons, I still can't stop you. Why should I waste my tongue?" Ye Shuo pulled Qi Lan past her and said angrily.

Qi Lan stuck out her tongue, and then hurriedly followed.Ye Shuo glanced at him lightly, then sighed secretly.

In fact, the reason why he agreed to Qi Lan was just one of the reasons mentioned earlier, and there is another point that is the most important.

Because of Qing Xiangxiong's prophecy, Ye Shuo was worried about being involved in the disputes in Jiuyou Palace.Even if he can deal with Jiuyou Palace, but the one beside him...Ye Shuo glanced at Qi Lan who was bouncing around...forget it.

At least under the command of Tianxiao Pavilion, Jiuyou Palace should not dare to act rashly.No matter what, first make Qi Lan happy, and then send him away.As for the road to revenge to Jiuyou Temple, it is still very long.

……

This place is a mine covering an area of ​​thousands of acres.In the mine, there are not too many workers. On the contrary, there are some large equipment everywhere, which are running at full capacity.Qi Lan stood on a small mine, silent.

"Still haven't found it?" Ye Shuo asked from the side.

"Oh, it was not an easy task to find Yaoyin." Qi Lan sat down on the ground, "We have only joined the mining team for ten days, and we couldn't dig anything."

Ye Shuo patted Qi Lan on the head, and suddenly felt that he really doted on this junior.If it were an ordinary person who had to help dig the mine for ten days and listen to the blind instructions of some subcontractors, he would have left with his shovel long ago.

"Assemble quickly, assemble as soon as possible!" Hearing the loud roar in the distance, Qi Lan suddenly looked hopeless, turned her back into a big character, and collapsed on the ground.

This is the contractor recruiting everyone, and it is estimated that there will be a new command direction.

After being dragged up by Ye Shuo, Qi Lan whispered into his ear silently: "Brother, can you defeat him and replace him? This person looks really troublesome!"

Ye Shuo didn't answer, but dragged Qi Lan all the way to the meeting point.

He knew exactly what Qi Lan wanted to say next.If he became a contractor, then Qi Lan would definitely be the first to rely on "I am the junior brother of the contractor" and take it for granted to avoid working, and maybe let other miners find medicine for him... It must be so!

Dragging Qi Lan to the assembly point, Ye Shuo suddenly found that the atmosphere of the assembly this time was not as good as before.The fat headed contractor looked distressed and sat on the ground dejectedly.And the other miners were standing around in a circle, whispering to each other, as if they were talking about something.After saying a few words, I looked up at the contractor, and then lowered my head again to chatter.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Seeing the commotion, Qi Lan immediately joined in curiously.

"You don't know, do you?" The miner on the side moved his body towards Qilan, "Tianxiao Pavilion is not a charity organization. If the task is not completed, the person in charge will of course suffer. This mine has been The stipulated standard has not been fulfilled, and the contractor is estimated to be in big trouble."

"But what are you gloating about?" Qi Lan curled her lips.The contractor is unlucky, so wouldn't the miners below be unlucky?
The two miners laughed at the same time, and they were still muttering: "That pig's head will have today!" Then one of them twisted and said: "But no matter what, the responsibility of the contractor is the greatest. It is not our turn to be scolded or beaten."

This statement is logically wrong, right?Maybe miners are mostly single-celled creatures.Qi Lan comforted herself.He suddenly felt a little sad that he, a young genius alchemist, was going to be reduced to mining with a group of miners!
But Qi Lan didn't realize at all that Ye Shuo beside him hadn't said anything yet.After all, no matter how you look at it, Ye Shuo is the real worst one.

"Everyone! All of you! Listen up! I only give you a quarter of an hour to rest! After a quarter of an hour, all of you will gather at the third mining site! Dig below the third mine!" Suddenly, The contractor bounced off the ground like a balloon and shouted loudly.

His voice was thin and sharp, and it was amplified many times under the blessing of spiritual power. Qi Lan felt that her ears were about to be deafened.

After digging out her ears, Qi Lan suddenly realized that the third mine, isn't it the deepest mine in the entire mine?

It is said that because the digging is too deep, although some unusually rare mineral materials may be dug up, more of them may disturb some strange beasts sleeping underground.This foreman really wants to go all out!
The miners in a circle began to complain in low voices, but most of their complaints were just that the underground environment was too bad, humid and hot, and occasionally landslides occurred, and so on.They didn't think of the underground beasts, so they just complained, but they reluctantly moved towards the third mine.

Qi Lan was a little hesitant before, but when she thought of Ye Shuo by her side, she immediately felt relieved.What should I do if I encounter a strange beast?Then let his supernatural brother solve it!What's more, the chances of finding the medicinal materials you need in the ground are even greater!

So, among a group of lifeless miners, there was a figure in sharp contrast, jumping around lively, and at the same time, he was holding another lifeless figure.The figure seemed to be covered in a layer of black air, but from a distance, one could clearly feel his gloom.

Forget it, it's rare to see Qi Lan once, he's happy, just follow him, Ye Shuo can only comfort himself like this.

The two entered the third mining site together with other miners.It really was a very deep mine.Before going down the mine, Qi Lan was a little panicked, standing by the hole, looking down carefully from top to bottom.

The mine is like a deep bottomless pit, and the sunlight seems to be swallowed by the huge mouth of the mine.There is a huge, iron spiral staircase that descends slowly along the mine.

A night pearl is placed on one side of the mine tunnel, and it looks like a bright Milky Way in the dark night sky.But if you look deeper, the shining night pearl doesn't seem to be resisting the darkness, but more like the eyes of huge evil creatures hiding in the darkness. They seem to be watching you, and when you don't pay attention, they will suddenly Out of nowhere, devouring your life.

Further down, there is a chaotic blackness.I can't see anything.

The boundless darkness spread, exuding an ominous ominous silence.

"I don't really want to go down..." Someone murmured, and the silent crowd suddenly exploded.

"Isn't it just digging a mine? There's nothing to be afraid of." A middle-aged man's voice rang out amidst the noise, his tone full of disdain.

"It's nothing to be afraid of, but... mining in such a deep mine, the difficulty is definitely not only increased by a factor, but the wages have to be doubled, right?" Another voice sounded.His words resonated with most people.

"Yeah, the wages have to be doubled anyway!" The miners yelled loudly and continued to march deep into the mine.

Qi Lan felt a little uneasy.This wasn't caused by the darkness ahead, it's just that the group of people around them were too unreliable... However, thinking that Ye Shuo was still there, he relaxed his nervousness again.

The miners continued to walk down for an unknown how long.Looking up again, the entrance of the mine, originally a hole with a diameter of a thousand meters, is now only the size of a fingernail.

With a "boom", a thunderous explosion suddenly exploded from the top of the head.The miners were taken aback, and some of them immediately set up spirit crystal shields.But when they saw what it was, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a lamp, a huge lamp.

A lighting lamp made of energy spar.The green energy spar slowly flowed in the lampshade, and most of the miners showed envious expressions.

Crystallization of such pure energy spar is rare. In the outside world, how many people want to obtain energy spar to improve their cultivation.However, here, it was actually being burned as a kind of fuel, which is too reckless!However, this also proves from another aspect that Tianxiao Pavilion is indeed powerful.

Under the reflection of the energy spar, the miners gradually saw the landform here.

They have now reached the bottom of the mine.Many compartments have been dug through the bottom, and it seems that some kind of number is written on them. The sizes of each compartment are different, but the smallest one is at least as big as a 200-meter playground.Under Qi Lan's strong request, Ye Shuo formed a team with him.

Taking some messy tools, the two entered one of the compartments together with other miners.

"Senior brother, do you really think that something good can be dug out here?" Qi Lan frowned, "But I always feel that it is more likely to dig up some monsters!"

Ye Shuo turned his gaze, and nodded seriously: "Indeed. If someone digs out a bone-eating ghost saint or something, it will be very exciting."

Qi Lan's face immediately turned black: "Although I don't know what that bone-eating ghost saint is, it sounds very bad..."

After the two arrived at their respective areas, Ye Shuo went straight into the corner.He had no interest in mining at all, so it was right to accompany Qi Lan.And compared to the mining itself, this mine seemed to attract him more, Ye Shuo had already discovered something faintly.At this moment, he just wished Qi Lan in his heart, hoping that he could dig out the rare medicine he wanted.

Not long after digging, Qi Lan vigorously wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Brother, I think our mining efficiency is too low. Hasn't Tianxiao Pavilion thought about using any heavy machinery? According to their Strength, this kind of coolie should not be used to mine mines. You see, they are willing to use energy spar for lighting, so it is not difficult to get some large machinery."

Ye Shuo waved his hand at him: "You finally found out."

"Could it be that... the facts are really as I guessed!" Qi Lan jumped up excitedly as if she had discovered a new continent, "They want to use the popularity of so many miners to lure out some monsters and ghosts! So, Those miners are sacrifices!?"

When Qi Lan said this, although he lowered his voice, because he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, he still unconsciously raised his voice at the end.For a while, a miner who was closer to the two was attracted.The miner was small, stooped, and looked malnourished.It is impossible to equate him with people who do manual labor.

After hearing Qi Lan's words, the miner suddenly trembled, and timidly approached the two, trying to hear their conversation more clearly.

Seeing Qi Lan's serious look, Ye Shuo almost laughed out loud, "What's in your head...the reason why they do this is because the miners are cheaper. If it's true Some kind of large machinery was sent in, and the machinery had to be repaired if it broke down, but the miners died as they died, and they had nothing to lose.”

The miner on the side suddenly started talking to himself, saying something like "I can't do this, I have to go back, I have to survive", while talking, his whole body was shaking.

Suddenly, the miner rushed towards Qi Lan.At the moment when the two were about to collide, a soft light enveloped him.

Qi Lan was taken aback and almost fell to the ground on the spot.After recovering from his senses, he took a few steps back in a hurry, and stammered, "You...you don't...are you trying to get rich and kill yourself!"

Qi Lan didn't know where to hear it, and learned some strange things.It is said that at the construction site or on the way to mining, people often seek wealth and kill for some treasures obtained in the middle.Unexpectedly, at this moment, he was actually met by him!
"I, I, I want to live!" the miner shouted tremblingly.His whole body is a layer of soft spirit crystal shield, which wraps him and suspends in the air.But he didn't seem to be aware of his own abnormality, he was still waving his limbs vigorously and shouting hoarsely.

Qi Lan jumped behind Ye Shuo, "Brother, this person wants to hit me..."

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Shuo asked the miner.While asking, he put him down.

"I can't die yet..." The miner half-kneeled on the ground, and only said this sentence.

Qi Lan seemed to realize something, so she said: "Don't worry, what kind of monsters and ghosts, I am joking with my brother. We are just digging a mine, there will be no problems!"

"Really?" The miner raised his head tremblingly, with a trace of distrust in his words.

"Of course it's true!" Qi Lan patted her chest aside.Under his strong guarantee, the miner's complexion improved a little.

however……

"Boom—" At this moment, another thunder-like sound resounded from above everyone's heads.Many miners were so shocked that they fell directly to the ground.The same was true for the miner before, and his face turned pale.

Qi Lan also rolled on the ground twice because of the shaking of the ground. "No way!" Looking at the soil layer that was slowly cracking in front of her, Qi Lan was shocked by the power of her crow's mouth.

What appeared in front of everyone were two slender, sharp black long legs, which looked like some kind of giant insect.With such long legs alone, it is conceivable how big its body should be.

Presumably it was this endless mining that woke it up, woke up some kind of giant monster that was sleeping underground.
