C1476 Soul Absorption
Jiang Ting was originally going to absorb the Jade Soul Essence inside the stone room, so after seeing the giant python, he thought that there might be a Demonic Beast coming closer … Although the chances were not high, and there were array formations here, so even if the Demonic Beast were near the stone room, it was impossible to enter. However, there were always accidents, and it was not safe to place one's hopes on the array formations within the stone room.
After all, the formation wasn't set up by Jiang Ting. How could he know how powerful it was?
About three breaths later.
Jiang Ting suddenly laughed: "How could I forget that I have another good thing …"
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared.
Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda!
If it was a safe place, then perhaps there wouldn't be any safer place than the Exquisite Pagoda. He would absorb the jade essence inside and come out after completely absorbing it. No matter what the danger was, it would not affect him.
"..."
On the surface, at the entrance to the mine.
When Jiang Ting entered the Exquisite Pagoda to absorb the jade essence, Zhang Zhi appeared at the entrance of the mine once again. At this moment, his face was very gloomy.
Nearly a third of the area had completely collapsed, and because he did not have any warning at all, coupled with the fact that Zhang Family had just taken over this place, he did not have the time to react at all before this …
Due to the collapse this time, at least 25% of the workers in charge of mining here had died! In addition, the collapsed area, there was no hope of continuing to excavate for a short period of time.
In short, if there were no other developments in this matter, then he feared that he would be ruthlessly punished by his clan in the future.
About half a breath later.
"That's not right." Zhang Zhi suddenly raised his head as he remembered something.
Jiang Ting had entered the mine.
Of course, this was not important. What was important was that when he was investigating the mine, he did not see Jiang Ting at all. Due to the collapse of the mine, even the other laborers that were not affected had started to leave the mine one after another.
The person who came out did not include Jiang Ting!
Before he thought about it, he had received a message that Jiang Ting was entering from the same area as the collapse … His heart sank to the bottom.
If Jiang Ting was buried alive in the mines, it would be fine if he came out safely. However, if an accident happened, his family would probably punish him even more harshly!
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhi started to roar, "Zhang Siyuan!"
He had previously instructed Zhang Siyuan to send someone to fetch Jiang Ting, but now … If Jiang Ting really couldn't get out, then the blame could only fall on Zhang Siyuan.
Zhang Siyuan had set up the formation in the northwest region of the mine. He had not warned of the collapse of the mine. No matter what, Zhang Zhi was not to blame.
"Big Brother Zhang." Zhang Siyuan hurriedly left the stone house.
Zhang Zhi narrowed his eyes. "Have you had a good rest?"
"Big brother, you misunderstood. I was not lazy. I was sensing the formation that was still in good condition in the stone house, and prepared to borrow the formation to determine Jiang Ting's whereabouts." Zhang Siyuan explained the reason that he had already prepared for this.
"Did you find him?" Zhang Zhi temporarily suppressed his anger.
"Nope." Zhang Siyuan revealed a look of helplessness. From the looks of it, he really seemed to be helpless.
"If he disappears into the mine, the responsibility will be yours." Zhang Zhi didn't waste any time.
Zhang Siyuan lowered his head in silence … He knew that this matter wouldn't end well. So what if he was responsible? He didn't care. As long as he didn't die, he would have a chance to turn the tables in the future. No matter what the punishment was, at least Jiang Ting was dead.
He did not believe that Jiang Ting would be able to survive after detonating so many core formation cores underground and the collapse of the mine vein!0
Zhang Zhi, on the other hand, did not know what Zhang Siyuan was thinking. Seeing that Zhang Siyuan did not object, he relaxed a little and quickly walked towards his residence.
With such a huge accident in the mine, he had to report this to the family. Since Jiang Ting did not come out, it was very likely that he was buried in the collapsed mine and had to ask for reinforcements.
In this way, not only could they rescue Jiang Ting, but they could also reduce the casualties of the other labourers. When this matter was over, they would naturally have fewer responsibilities.
The sun rose and the sun set. In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
For the time being, the jade mine had calmed down. However, because of the collapse of the mine, no one dared to go down to the mines. The reason for the collapse of the mine had yet to be found out and no one dared to go down without knowing the truth.
What if the mine continued to collapse?
Because of the collapse of the vein, the workers responsible for mining in the vein were given some precious time to rest.
Noon, the scorching sun was at its head.
Although the afternoon sun was extremely scorching, Zhang Zhi and the guards who were guarding the mine did not mind the scorching sun's rays. Instead, they all stood at the entrance to the mine.
A while later.
Zhang Zhi, who was standing right in front, suddenly turned his head and saw a ray of light appear in the sky. With a few flashes, it descended from the sky above the mine.
"Greetings, Third Elder." Before the streak of light landed, Zhang Zhi was the first to clasp his fist and respectfully greet it.
"No need to be so polite." Third Elder of the Zhang Family, Zhang Rui, revealed himself as he spoke in an aged voice.
After receiving the news from Zhang Zhi, Zhang Family quickly sent Zhang Rui over … Logically speaking, if someone were to be sent after receiving the news, they would have arrived at dusk yesterday. The reason why they delayed until noon today was because they could not separate with their Zhang Family.
The Zhang Family had, after all, just taken over all of the Li Family's supplies and businesses, so almost all of the family members had been sent out. Although the Li Family had been annihilated, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be some disciples who would flee, so right now, Zhang Family was useless.
If it wasn't for Jiang Ting being too important, the Zhang Family s would probably only be able to send two disciples to take a look at the situation.
Zhang Rui noticed that no one had moved. He frowned, "Why haven't you started cleaning up the mine?"
"Third Elder, the cause of the collapse of the mine has yet to be determined. If a large number of people were hastily dispatched to reopen the mine, the disciples would be worried that it might cause the collapse of the mine to increase."
At the end of his words, Zhang Zhi added, "Disciple suspects that the collapse of the mine may not be as simple as it appears on the surface. The Li Family has been in possession of this jade mine for a very long time, and the array formation left behind by the Li Family may not have been discovered.
"Li Family …" Zhang Rui's brows immediately furrowed. The current Zhang Family was somewhat lacking in manpower, and just as Zhang Zhi had said, it was not suitable to be easily attacked.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Rui entered the mine vein first. "Go to the collapsed area. With this old man here, this old man would like to see if there is really any reckless person who jumps out!"
