C1855 If You Can't Afford to Offend Them Then Hide
Entering the mine to freely mine the Profound Cold Gold was indeed an extremely fair thing in the eyes of the City Lord, but there were always people who liked to exploit loopholes to make this matter not so fair.
Judging from the fact that the bandaged man had killed all the martial practitioners in that entire area, the person who hired them should have given the order to kill everyone.
This person... Ye Hong Tian didn't know what kind of sinister purpose the "employer" had, but he had a feeling that nothing good would happen.
Whoosh!
A vine suddenly pierced down from the ceiling. Its target was the martial artist who wanted to kill Ye Hongtian and the others.
The vine stabbed down very quickly, but just as it pierced through the martial artist from head to toe, the martial artist actually retreated a distance like a ghost, perfectly dodging the vine's stab.
"Eh? So there is such an interesting thing here. What kind of plant is this? I'm so curious! Interest in favorable impressions! I really want to kill him!"
After this martial artist was attacked by the vines, he became abnormal. Although this martial artist looked very abnormal at the beginning, he now gave off an even more terrifying feeling.
In just an instant, this martial artist jumped up from the ground and rushed to the top of the mine to entangle with the vines.
The vines that could easily kill a martial artist at the peak of the Awakening Realm were forced to retreat by this martial artist's attacks. Furthermore, black flames would shoot out from this martial artist's body from time to time. The vines that were touched by the black flames would instantly wither.
Ye Hongtian originally thought that he should be able to contend with all the martial artists at the peak of the Awakening Realm. Even if it was a monster like the bandaged man, as long as he was careful and did not get hit, it would not be a problem.
However, the appearance of this martial artist refreshed Ye Hongtian's understanding of peak Awakened martial artists. He could not help but think of the scene of him fighting with this martial artist. That would be an instant kill! He would not have the slightest chance to retaliate.
The scene of him being instantly killed by this martial artist lingered in his mind. An extremely uncomfortable feeling pressed down on Ye Hongtian, making him somewhat unable to breathe.
Turning his head to look at Yu Changqing, he saw that Yu Changqing's expression was also very solemn. He immediately suggested: "Brother Changqing, this martial artist's strength is terrifying. I admit that I am unable to contend against him. I reckon that there won't be anyone among us who can contend with him either. We'll take advantage of his attention on the vines. Let's retreat first "
"Mm! Alright! Let's retreat to the passageway and take a look first."
Yu Changqing accepted Ye Hongtian's suggestion without hesitation, as if he had been waiting for Ye Hongtian to say this.
Just like that, the martial artists who were fighting the vines in the air were attracted by the vines and quickly returned to the tunnel where they came from. They watched the martial artist and the vines fight at the tunnel entrance.
At a close distance just now, Ye Hongtian could clearly see that the martial artist's armor was condensed from black flames. Now that it was far away, it really looked like a black armor.
The fight between the martial artist and the vines had already reached its climax. Many of the vines at the top of the cave had become dispirited because of the black flames that splashed out from his body. The remaining vines that could move were all transforming into man-eating flowers to attack that warrior. Unfortunately, it was still a one-sided battle.
Ye Hong Tian, who was at the tunnel entrance, saw this scene and no longer had the thought to continue watching. He said, "That martial artist looks like a madman. We are also his prey. After finishing off the vines, he will not let us go. There is nothing to see from now on. Let's hurry and escape"
Ye Hong Tian was ready to leave first, but as soon as he took a step, someone grabbed his arm.
He didn't know what that person was thinking. He shouted at Ye Hong Tian with a ferocious expression: "You bastard! We are missing half of our companions. Shouldn't we work together? Are you ready to leave after you use us? "
Ye Hongtian only sneered at this person's words. He turned to look at Yu Changqing.
Originally, Yu Changqing was the leader of the group. As long as Yu Changqing agreed to let him leave, the others would not say anything.
Yu Changqing sensed Ye Hongtian's gaze and turned to look at Ye Hongtian. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "I know Brother Ye wants to leave this place and act on his own. For a martial artist like you... It is much safer to act alone than to stick together, but I'm sorry. Brother Ye might have to work with me from now on. I hope you can tell me about my fiancee. "
Hearing Yu Changqing's words, Ye Hongtian slightly frowned, but then he relaxed.
The man holding Ye Hongtian's arm saw that Ye Hongtian didn't struggle anymore, so he immediately sneered and said, "It's impossible to leave after taking advantage of me! Besides, Brother Yu is in charge of our team. There is no place safer than following us!"
Although he didn't know why this man had such confidence in Yu Changqing, Ye Hongtian knew that Yu Changqing didn't want to be with these people in the following operation.
Yu Changqing emphasized to Ye Hongtian, "We might need to move with me next." The reason why he didn't want to be with Ye Hongtian was that he was ready to leave as well.
"When do we move out?" Ye Hongtian asked Yu Changqing.
"Hmm... let's wait for a while. We'll take a look at the situation. About fifteen minutes or so." Minister Yu hesitated for a moment before replying.2
Hearing Yu Changqing's reply, Ye Hongtian patiently continued to watch the martial artist fighting against the vines not far away.
Perhaps it was because he was too focused, but fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye. If Yu Zhangqing hadn't patted Ye Hongtian's shoulder, Ye Hongtian might have continued watching and knew that the battle was over.
"It's about time. Let's go."
After Ye Hongtian regained his senses, Yu Changqing said this. Then, he pointed to the left passage where they were.
Ye Hongtian nodded at Yu Changqing. After Yu Changqing rushed out, he immediately followed him into the tunnel.
He turned around and saw that the warriors who thought they were in the same team as him were following them closely.
However, after he entered the tunnel, a wall of fire blocked behind Ye Hongtian, blocking the entire tunnel entrance.
Ye Hongtian looked at the wall of fire in surprise. He was not surprised by how big or how strong the fire was. He was surprised that Yu Changqing blocked the group of people outside just like that.
Yu Changqing did this to make the dozen or so people face the crazy warrior. This was the same as killing them. Ye Hongtian could even hear the angry shouts of more than a dozen warriors through the wall of fire.
