C1273 Doorman in the Passage
Zhong Ming had the illumination stones, so he could see everything very clearly. It was obvious that this place had been abandoned, and scattered stones and tools were everywhere. The ground was also uneven and the walls were not fixed.
From where he was, he could see that the tunnel was winding and rugged, and it seemed like the mine had already been dug to the middle stage of the mountain. From where he was, he could see that the mine had already been dug to the middle stage of the mountain.
And right next to the wall, there was a rock that could not be compared to normal stones, a rock that was the least valuable here. Zhong Ming smiled and said: "It's a little trick, but it's quite smart."
After he finished speaking, Zhong Ming walked in that direction. Although there were dozens of tunnels here, he did not slow down his footsteps, as if Zhong Ming had come here before. He discovered another ordinary rock that was of similar value in another place, and it was picked up by Zhong Ming.
This Demon Cultivators was still very clever, to actually know how to use such a method to mark his place. If Zhong Ming was not smart, he would have been unable to discover the strangeness of this place, and would have wasted some time here, which might have been the reason why he did not divulge the information to Zhong Ming. As long as Zhong Ming stayed here long enough, they could escape far away, and it would be difficult for Zhong Ming to kill them all.
The quality of the ores here were much better, why would they have to abandon this place? One must know that the prices of the ores here were several times higher than the ones outside. Just as Zhong Ming was wondering, the wall in front of him had traces of people filling in, looking at it from the outside, it looked like it was a landslide, and this could not be hidden from Zhong Ming's eyes.
In a flash, Zhong Ming had already appeared on the other side of the mine tunnel. This place no longer had the height from before, and could barely pass through the width of two people, and the few remaining ores in the passage were exactly the same as the Jade Demonic Crystal Stones in Zhong Ming's hands. Only then did Zhong Ming reveal a happy expression.
Zhong Ming knew that he had chosen the right path. Even though the Devil Cultivator was hiding its eyes from him, he was still able to quickly find the hole they had filled, so Zhong Ming used his spirit sense to check on the situation, "The deeper they go, the deeper they go."
Zhong Ming wanted to explore further, but his spirit sense was blocked, but Zhong Ming realised that there were more people here with lower cultivations, one look was enough to tell that they were servants, he did not expect Yuan Meng and the others to be so ruthless, sealing these people off from the outside world, it seemed like he wanted to let them to fend for themselves, so that the information would not leak out, but that was good, he could use it to see if he could get some useful information.
Zhong Ming appeared in front of a servant in a flash. The place was extremely small, and from the looks of it, they were already here, before they could even continue mining, an accident happened, and Yuan Meng and the rest abandoned the mine and escaped. The servant in front of them knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to raise his head, his body trembling uncontrollably.
At this time, Zhong Ming was carefully sizing up the few people on the ground. These people were all short and low level Devil Cultivator s with horns on their heads, and could be said to be the lowest kind of Demon Clan people.
"Are you the only ones here?" Zhong Ming asked.
The others have already been killed. At that time, we went to collect the ores and escaped this calamity, but this cave has already been sealed off, so we can't get out. We just have to struggle for a few more days, and without the air and food, we will be like them sooner or later. A man braced himself and replied.
"I wanted to silence you guys, but I didn't think that I would leave you people behind. Did you guys dig out this Jade Demonic Crystal stone? "Well answered, I might be able to get you out of here." Zhong Ming took out the Jade Demonic Crystal he picked up on the way here for them to see.
"Yes, we dug them up." He did not know if answering his request like that would work, but if he could save them, of course he would be happy, he would simply be overjoyed.
"Tell me where you dug this up, how long ago was it dug up? Also, when you were digging these ores, were there any abnormalities?"
"We have already discovered and dug out this ore for two months. At that time, because it was extremely difficult to dig out, it took a lot of effort to mine it, so the manager sent over a hundred people to dig out this special ore. As for the abnormality, it is when we were digging out the ore, there are some people who died for some reason. We were terrified when not even our ashes were left, but the people up there didn't want us to stop, so no one dared to disobey. " The servant still had some lingering fear in his heart as he recalled the scene from back then, and his face showed fear.
Zhong Ming thought for a moment, then said: "Is what you said true?"
At this time, Zhong Ming forced out the yellow-green filigree-like thing from his body, and it directly shot towards the stones on the wall. Instantly, all the stones fell down, turned into powder, and then disappeared.
They were all shocked by Zhong Ming's actions. They knew how tough the ores here were, but they were actually smashed into pieces with just one strike, it could even be described as terrifying, but this scene was exactly the same as when their comrades died. They said one after the other: "That's right, it's exactly like this.
"Didn't you have the same reaction as above?" Zhong Ming asked suspiciously.
"Yes, they came to check, but they didn't find anything out of the ordinary here. Other than that time when people died during digging, there was nothing else. So we just let it go and continued to work in fear." The servant smiled bitterly.
"You can tell me where the accident happened." Zhong Ming instructed, his face revealing a smile.
"As you command." The servant agreed.
"Also, did you just say that all of the Jade Demonic Crystal Stones have been excavated by you guys?" Zhong Ming suddenly asked.
"Yes, they were indeed already dug out by the outside. Later on, they blocked us from this place, so in order to escape, we kept digging in other places. Although we didn't escape, we found another place that also had this ore, and its quality isn't low either." The Demon Clan person answered honestly.
It seems that there was more here, this Yuan Meng did not know, and thought that there was nothing left, hence he gave up. Unexpectedly, these few people did not notice, it seems that he had earned a lot from this trip.
"Bring me there to take a look." Zhong Ming instructed.
"Okay, please follow me, my lord." The servant was trembling with fear and trepidation as he stood up and led Zhong Ming along the pathway.
Very quickly, these people brought Zhong Ming to the place they talked about, and even told him about the mine that was sealed up by the Demon Cultivators. They were much more obedient than the couple.
"Alright, I will keep my word and let you leave." After Zhong Ming finished speaking, he lifted his hand and with a flash of green light, the four of them appeared in front of the cave that had been blocked off.1
They were extremely happy, but they did not dare to show it. They did not know if they would go back on their words the next second.
Golden light flashed in Zhong Ming's hands, and with a loud exploding sound, the shattered rocks that were blocking the cave entrance turned into powder, and a whole cave entrance appeared in front of their eyes. When the dead people saw the scene in front of them, they all knelt down and kowtowed to Zhong Ming, and started to cry in pain, thanking him for saving their lives.
It seemed like the servant from back then died from this, it was fortunate that he asked the servants about it, or else he would have suffered a little, and now that he knew, as long as he was careful, he would be fine. Zhong Ming was glad that Yuan Meng and the others did not discover this Jade Demon, or else he would not have been able to obtain these Jade Demonic Crystal stones so easily.
