Chapter 67 The Underworld Mine(1/2)
Wu Tie's face turned red and his head lowered and escaped from the Foreign Affairs Office building in a panic.
Behind him was a tide of laughter.
The first-class deacon of the Shi family actually wanted to take on the task of killing ordinary lizards. The rough men in the hall on the first floor were laughing at him wildly.
But after a while, the laughter came to an abrupt end.
The guy who had something good happened ran to ask the dwarf girl what mission Wu Tie had taken on.
A sound of gasping in the hall on the first floor suddenly came, and then someone shouted loudly: "If that kid can come back alive, I will eat my horns!"
"It's the beginning, it's the beginning, can this kid come back alive? Bet hey, bet hey, who bets this kid come back alive?"
"The Demon Mining, someone finally took on this damn mission... But he can't live for a few days, right?"
"It's a pity that the boy will blush with a shy face. I haven't seen such a stupid boy in years."
On the second floor of the Foreign Affairs Department, behind a large window, Shi Meng was holding a large wine jar in his left hand and a large stone bowl in his right hand, and he was very happy to drink it himself. He was wearing a hint of drunkenness on his face, and he squinted his eyes at Wu Tie who escaped in a panic.
"This kid will be shy, hey, it's interesting."
"I'm not old, don't look at my height, but he is probably fourteen years old?"
"Well, I'm young and shy. Only such a little guy can be cultivated into his own. At a young age, he can be rated as a first-class deacon by a cunning guy like the second child. It seems that he has great potential."
He put down the stone bowl, grabbed a book of animal skin beside him, and turned to the line of words written by Wu Tie when he received the lava grass nine days ago.
"The font is correct... No, the word is written very well... It seems that it is really from a family background. Do you know some words very well..."
“Talent.”
Shaking his head, Shi Meng said in a deep voice: "Those who can survive are talents. The Demon Mines, places where the old guys at home don't want to get close to them. Who knows what is shaking in there?"
"Go a few people, follow behind, and pick up this kid... But don't enter the Demon Mining pit. I don't want my own people to be lost for no reason. If this kid can come out alive, pick him up."
"As long as he can come back alive, he will be trained according to the specifications of his direct tribe."
"I'm not old and I'm still shy... Well, compared to those old guys who are already shameless, this kind of person is still reliable."
He picked up the big stone bowl and drank the wine in one go. Shi Meng murmured at the round of Xuri on the dome: "Second brother, I believe in your vision. At a young age, you are alone and a talent who can be rated as a first-class deacon by you. Hoho, I would rather kill the wrong one than let go."
Wu Tie returned to his yard.
He kneaded the dough with cold water and removed the reddish dough. Then he looked at the task book written by the dwarf girl to him.
In fact, it is just a piece of animal sculpting paper with two simple lines of handwriting written on it.
Find out the root cause of the abnormal changes in the Nether Demon Mine.
The reward is sixty lava grass plants and one percent of all production revenue of the Demon Mining pit in the next ten years.
"Be good, what a high reward. The Demon Mining pit..." Wu Tie frowned, grabbed a stone on the ground, and threw it into the next yard: "Lao Bai, Lao Bai, are you there? Find something to ask for you."
...
When the light emitted by Xuri was the most intense, Wu Tie left Dashi City wearing a set of iron armor, a steel gun, and an animal skin.
Iron armor and steel guns were collected from the armament warehouse of Dashi City. As the first-class foreign deacon of the Shi family, Wu Tie's weapons were all consumed by the Shi family.
In the animal skin, there are wine, jerky meat, injury medicine, and antidotes.
There is also salt for outdoor barbecue... What’s especially luxurious is that there is a small bag of chili powder and spice powder.
Wu Tie remembered it very clearly that at the Wu Family Stone Fort, Wu Zhan was thinking about how to open up more fields and feed more soldiers and slaves every day.
The Shi family has already been so luxurious that they have free fields to plant these crops that are purely for enjoyment.
Chili powder and spices... This is the first time Wu Tie has encountered this in his life. He is actually a little drooling. He wants to try adding these things to the barbecue. How delicious can the barbecue taste?
However, only the deacon who takes the mission can receive such a small amount.
Even at Shijia, these chili powder and spices are rare treasures.
After leaving Dashi City and confirming the direction, Wu Tie activated the invisible force field, his body suddenly glided, jumped up more than ten meters high, and took a step forward hundreds of meters, rushing towards the direction of the Demon Mining pit as fast as a strong wind.
In the Dashi City, two rat-man scouts hurriedly ran out with four werewolf warriors.
He watched Wu Tie's figure sway twice, and in the blink of an eye, he ran several miles away. The four werewolf warriors stared at each other with big eyes. The hair was white and the old wolf turned around and slapped a rat man scout.
"What are you doing when you are stupid? Follow up! If you lose someone, I will explain it to Master Six!"
The rat man scout was slapped and turned around twice, blinking his eyes innocently at the old wolf head. The two rat man scouts did not dare to distinguish, and hurriedly followed the slight smell left by Wu Tie in the air and quickly chased after him.
Then they were kicked by the wolf warriors and kicked them hard in the butt.
"Idiot, why do you ask me to find it according to the smell? He must have gone to the Demon Mine... lead the way to the Demon Mine! If you lose someone, you will suffer."
The two rat-man scouts looked at each other innocently and hurriedly ran to the top of the Demon Mine.
The Demon Mine is only 150 miles away from Dashi City. It requires you to pass through a mine that is dozens of miles long to reach.
Originally called the Cold Crystal Mine, it was a large mine where gold and copper veins meet, accompanied by an extremely precious Cold Crystal Mine. Among the Lu family members who are best at forging in the Cangyan Domain, this cold crystal is called the Xuan Lan Crystal.
The Xuanlan Crystal can more than double the toughness of the weapons and armor created, and can more than double the runes and magic circles during forging. They are extremely precious forging materials. A piece of Xuanlan Crystal ore can be exchanged for gold nuggets of 100 times the volume of the Lu family or material of equivalent value.
But a few years ago, the Hanjing Mine Pit changed, and some mysterious things happened, and the mine slaves were killed and injured.
After several elders of the Shi family with strong cultivation entered, they also escaped in a panic, but they barely escaped by themselves, and all the people accompanying them were lost.
This mine was abandoned, and the Shi family's income was reduced by a large part.
The Lu family, which urgently needed forging materials, once joined forces with the Shi family to organize a powerful exploration team to enter the mine. As a result, the soldiers and generals escaped in a panic. An elder of the Lu family stayed in the mine forever and was unable to come out.
As a result, the Hanjing Mine has become a terrifying Nether Demon Mine. The Shi family's mission to explore the root causes of the mud mutation has been in the Foreign Affairs Department for several years. Some people have taken over the years, but none of them have lived.
Wu Tie recalled the information Lao Bai gave him, and chewed it with a piece of dried meat in his hand.
It took more than a hundred miles to arrive. He ran quickly in the spacious mineway. A small stone fort appeared in front of him, and several gray dwarf warriors stopped Wu Tie.
"Boy, there is the Demon Mining pit ahead. Why are you here for? Are you going to die?" A drunk gray dwarf, who was covered in wine, slammed a heavy hammer on the ground and shouted loudly at Wu Tie.
Wu Tie handed over his task book. The black handwriting on the milky yellow animal scrub paper was clearly visible. The Shijia Foreign Affairs Department had a special task stamp. The blood-colored ink made of cinnabar mixed with beast blood was very eye-catching.
Several gray dwarves became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They screamed and circled around Wu Tie for several rounds of excitement. Then the drunk lover slapped Wu Tie on the thigh.
"You are a good man, go, go... After you die, when our brothers drink, I will remember to pour you a little."
A group of gray dwarves burst into laughter.
They have been responsible for staying at the entrance and exit of the Demon Mining pit for many years. They have seen some unspeakable strange things with their own eyes. They are under great pressure and no one comes to rotate and change shifts. They have long been a little ill.
Wu Tie looked at the gray dwarfs with smiles on their faces, shook his head, and walked through the stone castle with great strides.
More than a dozen animal oil torches were inserted into the outer wall of the stone castle. Torches as big as human heads were burning, and the fire illuminated the largest area outside the stone castle.
Outside the range of the firelight in the stone castle, a trace of gray-white mist like a spider web was quietly suspended in the air.
Let's call these fog for the time being, they just floated in the air in dyingly without any movement.
Occasionally, a faint cool breeze blew from the other side of the mine, causing the torches to sway. The originally red firelight would turn into a faint green at that moment.
The green light projected by more than a dozen torches shone on Wu Tie's body, and more than a dozen shadows swayed in the mine tunnel in front, looking particularly creepy.
The grey dwarf laughed loudly from behind: "I dare not go in? Then come back... It's not embarrassing, really."
"Boy, come back, don't go to die... Don't talk about you... Half a year ago, the special five-star deacon of the Foreign Affairs Department and the Iron-horned Bull Axe were also damaged. He is a master in the Chonglou Realm, a master who has mastered the power of the bull demon! "
"Isn't it? Come back and have a few sips with your brothers... and after finishing, go back to Dashicheng to sleep... Isn't it just a task? If you can't finish it, you won't be embarrassed."
Wu Tie hesitatedly looked at the silky gray mist outside the fire light in front of him.
The fog hung dead in the air. Wu Tie vaguely felt that behind the fog, someone seemed to be staring at him.
The gaze was smooth and greasy, just like the rotten rice porridge overnight, cold, sticky, and a stench that was hard to get rid of. In short, this gaze gave him a very bad feeling.
Several gray dwarves were still yelling from behind, and then they took out the jar of wine, sat happily at the entrance of the stone castle and started drinking.
Wu Tie licked the corner of his mouth.
Just go back in shame?
Is this even more embarrassing?
He still remembered the laughter in the hall when he received the task.
"Old Tie... Isn't it a bit stupid for me to do this?" Wu Tie gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth, and walked step by step towards the area that was not covered by the flames.
He took a deep breath and a ball of fire jumped out beside him, turning into a fireball the size of a human head and floating above his head, emitting a sharp light shining everywhere.
Then there is another fireball, another fireball.
In order to boost courage, Wu Tie created a total of forty or fifty snow-colored fireballs the size of human heads and hanged over his head. The firelight shone everywhere and the heat waves rolled. The fireballs themselves sucked the free energy in the air, emitting domineering light and heat.
Several gray dwarves put down the jar of wine in shock.
"Master Yuan?"
Wu Tie had already walked away, and two rat men and four wolf warriors broke into the stone fort.
The four wolf warriors listened to the narratives of several gray dwarves, and their eyes suddenly became wide open.
Just now, Wu Tie ran so fast and jumped so high, and rushed straight to the Demon Mining. The four wolf warriors suspected that he had inspired some kind of talented magical power.
Now when I see it, it turns out to be true.
To be continued...
