2103: C2103 Xue Ye Lurks

C2103 Xue Ye Lurks

There were three men buried in the thick snow. They were the direct disciples of the Guild President, Wuhai, Yuan Tianxing, and Hong Qiang.

As the saying goes, a thousand days of military training can only be used once in a while.

The three of them rested in their tents for a long time before finally getting up and walking around the city.

"Is the secret treasury really here?"

"It's less than 100 kilometers away from Baize City. It seems too close."

"The city masters have come to the scene. They can't be training their bodies, can they?"

"They must have dug up some good stuff. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Yuan Tianxing gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. He really wanted to rush over and kill the person in front of him so that he could see what exactly was hidden in the hole.

Hong Qiang's mind was quite calm.

The other party had the numerical advantage, so it was not very wise to challenge him.

"Even up to now, the chairman hasn't given us any more missions, which means that the secret vault is in a safe state."

"Don't lie to yourself anymore."

"We should take the initiative to kill everyone here. If we keep waiting, we don't know how long we'll have to stay in this damned place."

Yuan Tianxing and Wu Hai had had enough of the tasteless hard steamed buns and rice porridge.

The other cultivators came and went as they wished without any restraint. However, they had their own tasks.

If they messed up, they would be severely punished by the union.

Wu Hai had already made up his mind to test the strength of the official team.

If the other side had any casualties, they would definitely suspect those foreign martial artists.

As the conflict intensified, the situation would become more and more interesting.

Since the Luminous Mines were not too far away from Baize City, the four City Lords did not bring too many guards with them on this trip.

If they could assassinate a city lord expert, then their position in the guild alliance would rise to a new level.

The afterglow of the setting sun was fading toward the horizon. Another day passed.

Xin Rujing stroked her white beard and couldn't help but ask.

"How's the situation down there?"

"I don't know how long it'll take for us to reach the mine."

"Everyone, don't worry. I think it'll be done in two days and two nights."

"It's that troublesome?"

"If the ore is within reach, I'm sure none of you will ask me for help anymore."

The four city masters had a lot of work to do every day, so they could not just stand here and watch Mu Chen dig a pit.

They were also unwilling to give up their power, and there were many things that they had to do themselves.

"Then we will take our leave first. We will leave the rest to City Lord Mu."

"The food, clothing, housing, transportation, and logistical support will all be arranged. If you need anything else, feel free to ask."

"Don't worry."

The City Lord left, leaving two of his men to set up camp on an empty space nearby.

The sleigh next to him was filled with all kinds of food and medicine, ensuring that Mu Chen's standard of living was not much different from living in a hotel.

Those two team members were actually spies left behind by the City Lord, constantly paying attention to the progress of the excavation project.

Due to the interference of the ice air current, their mental strength was unable to reach the bottom of the hole, so they did not know what the Mutated Iron Wire Worm was doing.

At this moment.

A familiar voice entered Mu Chen's mind.

"Reporting to master, I have already dug up the mine of the bright sand ore."

"The amount of storage is astonishing, and the color is also not bad. It has a very high commercial value."

"Eat all of it in your stomach. Before the official transaction, you should plunder a few thousand tons of it first."

"I said two days just to take a piss."

Bright Veil Ores were a rare type of ore in the industry. Other big commercial families simply didn't have the strength to train Demonic Beasts to do this kind of production work.

The price of five thousand purple gold coins per ton was indeed very low, but this mine was dug out by Mu Chen's men.

If it was in terms of merit, he should still receive some benefits.

The Mutated Iron Thread Worm started to devour the Bright Veil Mine like a tornado sweeping through the underground.

The ore entered his stomach, and he still needed to carry out a preliminary purification.

It expelled the impurities and residues out of his body to save space, which also saved the factory production line a lot of complicated steps.

Other than the Luminous Mines, there were also some other ores several hundred meters underground.

All of them contained the element of ice, so the effects were more or less the same.

The two team members had already started a bonfire outside the tent and started to cook a delicious meal.

"Master Mu Chen, you should rest for a while. The excavation work might still take a long time. Don't tire yourself out."

"Have a few cups of liquor to warm your body and then sleep. Leave the patrolling of the night to the two of us."

"Hehe, it's better to obey than to be respectful."

The sky was filled with stars, and the night breeze was cold.

Mu Chen poured himself a cup of wine and drank it happily.

The feeling of being spied on did not disappear. Mu Chen felt that something big would definitely happen tonight, so he did not dare to let an outsider take care of his own safety.

Wu Hai, Yuan Tianxing, and Hong Qiang, who were buried in the snow, did not reveal themselves to intercept and kill the four city lords returning to the city.

They felt that Mu Chen alone was a better target, not to mention that there was no reason for them to let him go.

"This brat's standard of living is really high. He eats and drinks, and lets us freeze in a world of ice and snow."1

"It's just the last meal. We absolutely can't let him see the sun tomorrow morning."

"A piece of trash with two lackeys can be killed in a minute."

"Should we wait for a few more hours? I don't know when the hole will be dug out."

The three of them had different thoughts again.

It seemed that this baffling project was very important. Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of the several city lords.

They decided to make a move later in the night.

After killing Mu Chen, they would go into the depths of the hole to explore and see if there was any entrance to the secret vault below.

A few cups of strong wine entered his throat, making Mu Chen feel warm all over.

The clay pot was bubbling on the bonfire. The tender meat slices would only need a few seconds to be cooked.

This kind of eating method was the same as the hotpot on Earth. It was all facilitated by the cold environment.

"You two don't have to go on patrol in a world of ice and snow. Stay in the tent and look at the surrounding environment. The effect is the same."

"Master Mu Chen, you must be careful."

"Hehe, don't forget how brave and powerful the Demonic Beasts around me are! They can kill the enemies in a few minutes."

Mu Chen was very satisfied with today's dinner and letting the two of them hide in the tent could also be considered as a form of protection.

As for the enemies hidden in the dark, he did not need to worry too much.

The moon gradually hung above the treetops, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the latter half of the night.

Along with the slight trembling of the ground, three black shadows scuttled out from the snow.
