After the Li Family Head finished his introduction, Fang Chen found out that there were only four people on this mission. The other three were the three goddesses of Kaiyang City.
Looking at the three beauties in front of him, Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh. It was already so difficult for ordinary people to walk side by side with just one of them. This time, he actually had to travel with all three of them.
"Fang Chen, you are the strongest. After you go to the mine, take care of them," the Lu Family Head said with a smile.
"I will," Fang Chen said.
"Alright, it's getting late. You should set off," the Li Family Head said.
Fang Chen and the other three nodded, then left the Li Family Manor and appeared on the streets of Kaiyang City.
On the streets of Mizar City, Fang Chen was followed by the three goddesses. This attracted the attention of countless martialists.
"I really envy Fang Chen. He can actually travel with the three goddesses. If only I could travel with one of them, I would be satisfied."
"Don't you know who they are? How can you compare to them?"
"Yeah, Fang Chen has already become the top warrior of the younger generation in Kaiyang City. Moreover, he has such a powerful master behind him."
"Only Fang Chen can accompany the three goddesses of Kaiyang City."
Along the way, countless warriors were talking about it.
When Fang Chen heard these words, he smiled slightly and didn't mind.
After a while, the four of them left Kaiyang City and appeared on the wasteland.
"Fang Chen, you are now the idol of the younger generation in Kaiyang City," Li Xiaoke said with a smile.
Fang Chen grinned and didn't say anything.
Lu Lianxue's face revealed a charming smile. Li Mingzhu, on the other hand, was still cold.
At noon, the four of them finally arrived at the mine a hundred miles away.
There was a majestic mountain range here. In the mountain range, there was a mine that ran through the entire mountain range. The entrance of the mountain range was heavily guarded.
"Stop right there," the guard shouted when he saw someone walking towards them.
"It's us," Lu Lianxue said.
The guard recognized Lu Lianxue and hurriedly said, "So Miss Lu has arrived."
After saying that, the guard brought Lu Lianxue and the others into the mountain range. Then, they appeared before a building.
One look and one could tell that this building was built in the mountains by the Lu Clan and the Li Clan.
When they arrived at the building, the elders of the Li Clan and the Lu Clan came out to welcome them.
"Mingzhu." The elder of the Li Clan chuckled.
"Lianxue." The Lu Clan's elder greeted her.
"Elder, how is the mine?" Lu Lianxue asked.
The elder of the Lu family said, "In the mine, there are miners who mysteriously disappear every day. We have sent people in to take a look, but they have found nothing.
Recently, too many miners have mysteriously gone missing, so we have temporarily suspended the mining of the veins. "
Hearing the elder's words, Lu Lianxue nodded and looked at Li Mingzhu. The latter said, "Let's go in and take a look tonight."
Hearing this, Fang Chen and Li Xiaoke nodded.
At this time, the elders of the Lu Clan and the Li Clan finally noticed Fang Chen.
"This must be Fang Chen." The elder of the Li Clan saw Fang Chen and chuckled.
"Junior Fang Chen greets the two elders." Fang Chen cupped his hands.
"Good, good. As expected of a young hero." The elder of the Li Clan nodded in satisfaction.
Just like that, Fang Chen and the others were arranged to stay in this building. They waited for night to fall.
Because this mine wasn't too big, the elders guarding it were all Condensing Reality Realm warriors.
This time, the elders were very happy that Fang Chen and the others had come. With their strength, as long as they didn't encounter any Spirit Vortex Realm warriors, they would definitely be able to solve the problem of the mine.
Just like that, everyone waited for night to fall.
Time passed minute by minute. When night fell, Li Xiaoke came to Fang Chen's residence.
"We can move now." Li Xiaoke saw Fang Chen and said softly.
Fang Chen nodded and met up with Li Mingzhu and Lu Lianxue. Then, the four of them quickly entered the mine.
"What kind of metal is this?" After entering the mine, Fang Chen looked at the colorful metals in the mine and asked in confusion.
"This is a kind of alloy that can be made into weapons." Lu Lianxue explained.
Fang Chen nodded and looked around.
In the mine, it was pitch black. The four of them moved forward in the dark.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the depths of the mine.
At this time, Fang Chen felt that something was wrong. He seemed to feel an invisible aura surrounding them.
"Do you feel it?" Fang Chen asked softly.
"What?" Lu Lianxue asked.
Li Mingzhu and Li Xiaoke also looked at Fang Chen in confusion.
"I feel an invisible aura," Fang Chen said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Li Mingzhu and the other two's expressions changed. They looked around cautiously.
Fang Chen and the other three continued to move forward. Just as they were moving forward, a ghostly black shadow suddenly appeared behind them.
Woo woo
A strange sound came from the black shadow's mouth. Before Fang Chen and the other three could react, a fierce attack suddenly appeared behind Fang Chen and the other three.
"Be careful."
Fang Chen felt this attack immediately. He turned his head and saw that Li Mingzhu was at the back. It was very likely that she would be hit by this attack.
He roared. In a panic, he pulled his hand and grabbed Li Mingzhu's fair hand, pulling her from the back to the front.
Being pulled by Fang Chen, Li Mingzhu lost her balance and fell into Fang Chen's arms.
Lu Lianxue and Li Xiaoke also reacted at this time. The two of them attacked together. Suddenly, a powerful attack bombarded the black shadow.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the black shadow couldn't withstand the attacks of the two girls and fell heavily to the ground.
At this time, Li Xiaoke's wrist shook and a flame appeared in her fair hand. The depths of the mine were instantly illuminated.
They realized that the one who attacked them was a cheetah.
"It's a cheetah," Li Xiaoke said, then turned to look at Fang Chen.
Li Mingzhu fell into Fang Chen's arms and instantly felt a hot aura coming from Fang Chen's chest. This was the first time in her life that she was so close to a man.
Li Mingzhu's pretty face instantly flushed red. Her face was filled with embarrassment.
Li Xiaoke saw that Li Mingzhu maintained a strange posture in Fang Chen's arms. She blinked her small eyes and said, "Sister Mingzhu, you guys …"
Lu Lianxue's charming eyes also looked at Fang Chen and Li Mingzhu with a smile.
Li Mingzhu, who was known for her coldness, was very embarrassed. She directly pushed Fang Chen away and escaped from Fang Chen's arms.
Fang Chen was also a little embarrassed. He immediately looked at Li Mingzhu and said, "It was an emergency.
I'm sorry. "
Li Mingzhu's face was red as she lowered her head and said softly, "It's okay."
Seeing this, Fang Chen didn't say anything else. He turned his gaze to the cheetah and said, "Could it be that the mysterious miners were killed by the cheetah?"
"That's possible," Li Xiaoke said.
Lu Lianxue shook her head. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, "Did you guys notice that the cheetah's heart directly exploded when it died?"
Hearing Lu Lianxue's words, Li Xiaoke recalled the scene when they killed the cheetah. She nodded and said, "It seems to be true."
Fang Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He walked in front of the cheetah, squatted down, and gently touched the cheetah's body.
After a long while, Fang Chen said in a low voice, "This cheetah was controlled by someone."
Although Li Xiaoke and Lu Lianxue's attacks were strong, they didn't hit the cheetah's heart. When the cheetah died, its heart instantly exploded.
This meant that the cheetah was controlled by someone.
Only a controlled cheetah's heart would explode when it died.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen's eyes were filled with a complicated expression.
"This mine is jointly mined by the Lu and Li Families. Who is attacking the miners? Could it be the Yang Family?" Fang Chen thought to himself.
Lu Lianxue seemed to have guessed Fang Chen's thoughts and said directly, "It's unlikely to be the Yang Family. The Yang Family wouldn't dare to offend both the Li and Lu Families at the same time."
"Then who is it?" Li Xiaoke asked.
Fang Chen couldn't figure it out. At this moment, Li Mingzhu recovered and said, "Let's continue looking and we'll find out."
Hearing this, Fang Chen and the other three looked at each other and continued moving forward.
Just as the four of them expected, it seemed that their whereabouts were already known by the mysterious warrior in the dark.
Every time they walked a short distance, cheetahs would appear and attack them crazily.
At the beginning, the cheetahs would still fight with them. But later on, whenever the cheetahs appeared, they would explode. This made Fang Chen and the other three miserable.
"Who is it?"
Fang Chen stopped in his tracks, looked around, and said in a low voice.
After reaching the depths of the mine, they had only walked 500 meters before they were attacked by several waves of cheetahs. Later on, the cheetahs attacked in a suicidal manner, which made Fang Chen and the other three somewhat cautious.
However, the best situation now was that the cheetahs appeared alone and didn't appear in groups.
Just think about it. If the cheetahs appeared in groups and exploded together, even a Spiritual Whirlpool Realm expert wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"Should we continue moving forward?" Lu Lianxue asked.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked around.
When the three of them didn't notice, the Little Mouse appeared from the special space ring and went straight into the darkness.
Fang Chen had just told the Little Mouse about the situation and let the Little Mouse sneak into the darkness to find the mysterious warrior.
As long as they found the mysterious warrior, they would be able to get out of their current predicament.
