Nine Tribulations True Immortal

Chapter 525 Confrontation
And every once in a while, there will be a beast tide. At this time, a strange ice-type monster will rush out of the abyss and devour the miners.

These ice monsters include ice snakes, ice bears, ice wolves, and ice birds.They're all gregarious beasts.Although they are not big in size and their strength is mostly at the early stage of liquid condensation, they are very fierce and difficult to deal with.

Therefore, every time a beast tide appeared, all the miners in the mine would join forces to fight against these ice monsters, otherwise the entire army would be wiped out.

What made Qin Yuxuan even more worried was that although the No. [-] mine was extremely huge, there were very few edible things in the cave. In addition, the spiritual energy in this place was thin, making it extremely difficult to absorb the spiritual energy.Therefore, the monks can't go without food and bigu for a long time like the outside world.

If the mine slaves wanted to survive, they had to either kill the monsters in the mine and devour their flesh, or rely on the collected spirit stones to exchange food and elixirs directly from the southern barbarian guards.

Although there are plenty of spiritual stones in this No. [-] mine, after hundreds of years of mining by monks from the Dian Kingdom, the surrounding mining areas have almost exhausted the spiritual stones.Therefore, the miners who were later captured by the southern barbarians had to keep moving deeper into the mine if they wanted to find enough spirit stones.Of course, the natural danger of the deep mines is much greater.

In the mines, miners come from different backgrounds.Although there are mainly monks from the Shushan School and the Dian Kingdom, there are also many monks from other forces.In such a precarious mine, looting ore and food from each other is even more commonplace.Apart from people he knew well, when stranger monks met, most of them would fight.

This kind of fight is naturally endless.The losers ranged from being bruised and bruised, to being robbed of everything, and even losing their lives at worst.

That skinny man was specifically here to ambush at the entrance of the cave, trying to rob the miner who heard the sound of water and came to the dark river.

After understanding the situation, Qin Yuxuan cut the man's throat with a sword, then took out the Hundred Ghost Banner, and put his soul into the banner.

And his corpse was naturally fed to the Ghost Spirit Scorpion.In this mine with thin spiritual energy, it is more important to maintain the fighting power of the Ghost Spirit Scorpion and devour the corpses of monsters and monks than when it is on the ground.

After doing all this, Qin Yuxuan continued to walk forward, ready to go to the dark river to have a look.

The area of ​​this No. [-] mine is so wide, but there are only more than [-] mine slaves inside.He wanted to find Shumeng in such a large mining area, which was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

However, Qin Yuxuan was not in a panic, because on the [-]th of every month, all the miners would go to the huge cave hall at the entrance to hand in the spirit stones in exchange for antidotes and supplies.Therefore, as long as he gets there, he will definitely be able to see Shumeng.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this: that is, Shumeng is still alive.

"According to Su Nian, Shumeng has reached the Dzogchen cultivation level in the condensate stage. Among these miners, she should be the strongest. She should still be alive..." Qin Yuxuan thought to himself.

However, when he reached the dark river, he found that there were no valuable clues other than a dark river, no monks passing by, and no monsters.As for the spirit stone, there is nothing left.

So, after thinking for a while, he had no choice but to cross the dark river and walk to a certain mine on the other side...

For the next 20 days, Qin Yuxuan wandered around the mine.

One reason is to collect spirit stones, so as to make up for the task of [-] spirit stones in exchange for the antidote.

Secondly, he also wanted to familiarize himself with the roads and terrain in the mine, so that when the beast horde came or encountered a strong enemy, he could retreat as quickly as possible and reach a safe zone.

Hard work pays off, after more than 20 days of exploration and fighting, Qin Yuxuan finally figured out most of the terrain of the mine tunnel.

Only the deepest part of the mine, near the Yushan Mountains, he did not enter.After all, it is too dangerous there, and the terrain is far more complicated than the outer area, so it is very easy for people who enter for the first time to get lost.

Qin Yuxuan was also worried that if he got lost and missed NO.30, it would be a disaster if he didn't get the antidote for this month.

Hard work pays off, after more than 20 days of collecting, he has not only completed the task of collecting [-] spirit stones, but also has a little leftover.Of course, this is also thanks to his ghost scorpion that can burrow into the ground.This guy can go deep into the ground more than a hundred feet deep, and dig out those deep-buried middle-grade and high-grade spirit stones.

In this way, he can successfully complete the task without going to the deepest dangerous place in the mine.

"It's almost there. It's only three days away from NO.30. I should go up to the hall where I can get the mining tools and ore bags." Qin Yuxuan said to himself.

So, he carried the leather bag on his back, and strode towards where he came from.

Perhaps it was because the end of the month was approaching, shortly after Qin Yuxuan left that area and entered the mine tunnel leading to the big cave hall, he began to encounter some scattered miners.And they were all without exception, carrying the same bag of ore, rushing back in the same direction as Qin Yuxuan.

Most of these people's cultivation bases are between the early and middle stages of liquid condensation.But all of them were pale and thin.Compared with Qin Yuxuan, his complexion was far worse.

Therefore, when they saw Qin Yuxuan, they would all have a look of warning on their faces, and they all hurried forward, or stopped immediately to let Qin Yuxuan walk over first.No one dared to get too close to Qin Yuxuan.

Facing the cautious appearance of these people, Qin Yuxuan couldn't help laughing secretly.He knew that it was because he had only entered the mine not long ago, the spiritual power in his body had not been consumed much, and his complexion was good, which made these people think that he was a powerful master, so they didn't dare to provoke him.

However, just as Qin Yuxuan passed through several caves and came to a small cave hall, he was suddenly startled and stopped in his tracks.

Because he found that in this cave hall, there were two groups of miners confronting each other coldly, each holding bone knives, bone hammers and other weapons, posing as if they were going to fight.

And when Qin Yuxuan appeared next to them, the two groups of people glanced at him sharply, but seeing that he was alone, they relaxed and glared at each other again.

Qin Yuxuan was slightly curious, he also wanted to see if any of these two people expressed their dreams, so he stopped and looked carefully.

These two groups of people stood on the left and right sides. On the left were two men and two women. Although they were dressed in rags, they could still vaguely see that they should be captured disciples of the Shushan School.Only one of them is in the middle stage of liquid condensation, and the other three are at the early stage of liquid condensation.

On the right are six monks from the Dian Kingdom, all of whom are male, and three of them are in the middle stage of liquid condensation, and three are in the early stage of liquid condensation, and their strength is obviously stronger than that of the Shushan faction.
