C363 The Temptation of a Spade
Astonishment flashed across Zhou Jingzhe's eyes. She did not understand what was happening here. These people were fighting over a piece of debris. Could it be that there was something different about this piece of debris?
Qin Fann looked at Zhou Jingzhe and roughly guessed his thoughts. Zhou Jingzhe was different from him, he had always been in the upper echelons of the realm.
If it was any other place, then it would have been impossible for people to fight because of the rubble. But where was this place? The Dead Ash Mine!
Previously, the one called Hu Man had only mentioned their mission, but hadn't mentioned the mining tools. At that time, he had a bad feeling about this. He just didn't expect these people to be so extreme as to not have any tools. Hand? How is this possible, this is a spirit stone mine!
Although it was not the most solid ore, how could he use his hands to dig it out?
The most common method was to use stones, some with sharp horns, to extract the Spirit Stones exposed outside. However, only low rank Spirit Stones could use these methods. If one encountered a middle rank Spirit Stone, one would have to use an iron grade weapon.
However, the rubble was more useful than the stones. In this dark corner, four or five people had actually lost their lives.
"What do we do now?" Zhou Jingzhe asked calmly, but he could still hear the unease under Zhou Jingzhe's calm tone.
At this moment, Qin Fann only had one thought in his mind. He had to protect Zhou Jingzhe, no matter if it was because of his feelings for Zhou Jingzhe or the guilt he felt from the bottom of his heart.
As for their looks, he didn't really care about them. As long as they recovered their strength, he would have a way to restore their looks. Even Zhou Jingzhe could find a way.
"Let's recover our soul power first, then find a chance to escape."
On the way, because of their appearance, even the whip wielding barbarian didn't want to hit them a few more times, which allowed them to recover a little bit. Qin Fann's body used Chaotic Sea as its foundation and split its original body into two. With the foundation of the Mysterious Nine Death Technique, his body was not even comparable to Zhou Jingzhe's body that was refined by the princesses since young.
There was a dim light inside the cave. If they had not entered the cave, it would have been really difficult for them to discover it. This tunnel was very long and narrow, and there were traces of being mined in the surroundings. From the spirit stone slabs on the walls, one could tell that this was a abandoned tunnel.
This kind of situation was not rare in the mines. In his previous life, he had not only avoided being hunted by the government, but had also avoided being surrounded by gangsters. He had also stayed in the mines for half a year, so he was familiar with this kind of situation. The only difference was that in his previous life, he had been mining with coal, and he even had some equipment. This world was truly more inhumane.
"There's someone here!"
Clang! Clang …
Just as Zhou Jingzhe finished his sentence, he heard the sound of an iron grade equipment falling to the ground from the mine entrance. Following that, the iron grade equipment seemed to have been picked up by someone.
Qin Fann walked forward again. As soon as he took a step forward, the torch inside was immediately extinguished. Then, Qin Fann heard some messy footsteps. Although they tried not to make a sound, they still bumped into a few stones and the like and made some noises.
Qin Fann continued walking. As he walked, he said, "Hello …"
Before he could finish his words, a gust of cold wind blew past his ears. In the darkness, his eyes could see something more clearly than ordinary people. It was a shovel aiming at his head.
Zhou Jingzhe's warning came from behind, "Be careful!"
Although Qin Fann didn't have any soul power at the moment, he still had the quality of his body. He dodged to the side and with a kick, kicked into the opponent's lower abdomen. The person was sent flying.
Although his body was in pain, the opponent's hand was still tightly holding onto the shovel. The killing intent in Qin Fann's heart had already become very clear.
The two of them were already very unlucky. Who would have thought that there would be someone here that wanted to kill him? He didn't think too much and wanted to kill the other person. More importantly, he had his eyes on the shovel in his opponent's hands.
It could be said that with this shovel, with his physical fitness, after a few days of hard work, he and Zhou Jingzhe would be able to recover peacefully in half a month. This way, they could at most use half a month to recover their soul power and fight their way out.
With that, he walked towards that person. In the darkness, he could barely make out some things, but they were not very clear.
"No, please, no..."
An old and tired voice came from the darkness. Qin Fann was sure that it was the voice of a middle-aged woman, but it sounded like an old man late in life.
Puff! The torch was ignited again, on the left side of Qin Fann. Qin Fann was surprised. He was too careless and was about to attack, but when he saw that the person beside the torch was only an old woman, he immediately stopped.
The old woman looked at him with a pleading look. The voice had been uttered by this person. Following the light of the torch, he saw the man lying on the ground. It was the same.
He looked like a bad old man with messy hair and a dirty black face. There were countless holes on his clothes, one or two of which had obviously been sewn together. The stitches were very rough, but from the knots, it could be seen that the sewers' hands were quite coincidental.2
When the man on the ground saw Qin Fann's appearance, his originally painful expression couldn't help but let out an "Ah!", and he immediately exclaimed. He was obviously frightened by Qin Fann.
He didn't know when Zhou Jingzhe walked up to him, but he gently tugged at his clothes to indicate that he was in a dark place where the torches weren't shining.
Qin Fann looked over. Although there was no light at all, he could see that there were two kids inside. One of them seemed to be his sister, covering her brother's mouth with her hands.
"What are you doing …"
Noticing Qin Fann's gaze, the man on the ground and the woman who had a pleading look on her face instantly turned into a hen and blocked Qin Fann's eyes. The man even raised his shovel and aimed it at Qin Fann.
Seeing this, a trace of reluctance flashed across Qin Fann's eyes. He reluctantly looked at the shovel and finally sighed in his heart. He said to Zhou Jingzhe, "Let's go!"
"En!" Zhou Jingzhe was intelligent to begin with, so she thought of it after a short encounter with him.
The two of them did not say anything and just left the mining cave.
Because this place was too remote, there was only one mine. Other than the family that he had just met, there was not a single other person here.
"Shall we dig here?" Qin Fann looked at the exposed area of a low rank soul stone and said. Zhou Jingzhe merely acknowledged and they each found a stone with a sharp horn and started to smash it.
Pow … Pow … Pow … Pow …
Sounds of stones hitting the wall echoed in the mine.
