The entire cave was filled with black light. The light was pure black, but it was extremely bright.
This was pure black, pure black and bright.
A pile of rocks fell, and at the place where the rocks fell, a palm-sized rock appeared.
The pure black light came from this rock.
With just one look, Zi Chen knew that this was an extremely valuable item.
Its quality was much, much higher than the Black Iron from before.
Just as Zi Chen was about to step forward to observe with a face full of joy, he heard the old man's solemn voice. "Go and block the entrance!"
His voice was low, and his expression was very serious.
Zi Chen, who had experienced many things in his life, knew very well what this expression meant. While he was wondering if there was such a thing as killing and stealing treasures in this world, he did not hesitate to dash towards the entrance of the cave.
He had to block the entrance in the shortest amount of time possible.
The clanging sound that was often heard when he was flying at top speed suddenly stopped.
The huge mine suddenly became deathly silent, and not a single sound could be heard.
Zi Chen knew that something was wrong. It was obvious that the black light had reached the outside world. No matter how fast he was, he could not be faster than the real light.
He slowed down as he reached the entrance of the cave. He saw a brawny man carrying a pickaxe standing at the entrance of the cave. A pair of slightly burning eyes were staring at the cave.
Zi Chen had seen this brawny man before. He was from the same village as him, and he lived in a stone house. It was obvious that he lived a good life.
His upper body was bare, and the bulging muscles on his body made him look strong and powerful.
Beside him, Zi Chen could also see two old men. Their eyes were originally filled with the vicissitudes of life, but now it was different. Their eyes were shining brightly.
Zi Chen, who had slowed down, stopped when he was five meters away from the entrance of the cave. He looked ahead vigilantly.
He believed that there must be other miners beside these three, in places where he could not see.
Under the black light, Zi Chen, who was wearing a patched robe, looked a little distorted.
"Little doll, did you find anything good in here?"
To people like them who had lived here for a long time, Zi Chen, who had only been here for a little over two months, was indeed a little child, not worth mentioning at all.
Zi Chen stared at him in silence.
"Hehe, did you discover the Sacred Black Crystal?" the muscular man asked again. His eyes flashed with greed.
Zi Chen still didn't respond. The black light behind him grew stronger and stronger.
($> > > Cotton, Flower Candy Talk)
"Are you mute?
Do you believe I won't tear you apart? "The burly man's face sank when he saw Zi Chen remain silent. His greedy eyes revealed a wisp of icy cold killing intent.
As he spoke, the burly man took a step forward. Although there was no suppression of his aura, Zi Chen felt a sense of pressure.
Just like a child meeting a gloomy adult, it was inevitable that he would feel fear.
"Wu Lu, don't bully a child. If you have the guts, come at me!"
An old but cold voice rang out from behind Zi Chen. The old man walked out with a bamboo basket on his back, two pickaxes in his right hand, and a crystal larger than an adult's palm in his left hand.
When the burly man named Wu Lu's gaze fell on the crystal, he couldn't look away.
Immediately after, a few more heads appeared in Zi Chen's line of sight. When they saw the crystal in the old man's hand, their faces revealed excitement, and their eyes flashed with greed.
The old man calmly walked in front of Zi Chen and handed the smaller pickaxes to Zi Chen. "Little fellow, remember, no matter what, you can't throw away this thing in your hand.
This is the foundation of our survival! "
Zi Chen nodded and solemnly took the pickaxes. His heart, which wasn't very nervous, calmed down even more.
Amidst this calmness, there was even a little bit of excitement. This excitement came from the depths of his heart about the impending battle.
The old man took a step forward. His short stature completely blocked Zi Chen's path. With his back to Zi Chen, he looked at those people and said, "Don't make things difficult for a child!"
"Old man, let's cut the crap. According to the rules, everyone who sees it gets a share!" The burly man held the pickaxes in his hand and pointed at the old man.
"That's right, old man. Everyone who sees it gets a share!" an old man next to him said.
"It's rare for you to have such a big harvest these past few years. It's only right that you give us a share," another person said.
Looking at the three people who had spoken, the old man shook his head. "Everyone who sees it gets a share? When was this a rule?
Wu Lu, if I remember correctly, you dug up a piece of Sacred Black Crystal and used it to exchange for a stone house. Did you give us a share? "
"And the two of you, Parry, Dela, since you came here, you have also dug up Sacred Black Crystals, right? However, I don't think you've shared them with everyone, right?"
"That's different. The Sacred Black Crystal I dug up last time was only as thick as a finger. It wasn't enough to share."
As Wu Lu spoke, the two people next to him nodded.
The old man named Dela said, "Old man, everyone has been mining here all these years and nothing has happened.
If you had only obtained a little bit of Sacred Black Crystal, we wouldn't have said anything. However, the Sacred Black Crystal you obtained today is too big.
The value of such a big piece is immeasurable. Aren't you ashamed to take it all for yourself? "
"Everyone has been mining together all these years. You all know what kind of person I am. I don't care about these things.
Normally, I wouldn't mind. However, this is definitely out of the question today.
This belongs to this little fellow and can only belong to him. He has to leave this place! "the old man said.
"What? Give it to him?
Old man, are you crazy? "Wu Lu was stunned and looked at Zi Chen in disbelief.
"He's still young. His future achievements are limitless. He can't be like us and stay here forever!" the old man said seriously.
"Old man, I didn't expect you to be so great.
No wonder you've been here for so many years and haven't improved. There aren't many people left at the same time as you, right? "
Wu Lu's face revealed a trace of ridicule. "Since you're so great, why don't you take care of me?
Speaking of which, you should be very clear about my potential. I'm much stronger than this little child.
If you give the Sacred Black Crystal to him, he'll only die faster. If you give it to me, I'll still remember your kindness. "
Seeing the old man's indifferent expression, Wu Lu sneered and said, "Old man, if you really can't make up your mind, then I'll help you.
As long as we kill this little child, you'll decisively take out the Sacred Black Crystal. "
The old man looked at Wu Lu but didn't say anything. He turned to the others and said, "How about you guys? Do you all agree?"
The others felt uncomfortable being stared at by the old man. However, when they saw the huge Holy Black Crystal in the old man's hand, their expressions became serious. One of the old men said, "Old man, if there is wealth, everyone should share it. You are too selfish.
Today, you have to give us the Sacred Black Crystal. Then, we'll share it equally. "
The old man looked at these people and nodded his head. These people's faces immediately revealed a happy expression. They thought that the old man had agreed.
Unexpectedly, the old man turned around and put down the bamboo basket. At the same time, he handed the Sacred Black Crystal to Zi Chen and said, "I haven't exercised my body for many years. Today, I can exercise my body.
The mining technique I created that year is a little rusty. Today, I can practice it. "
Zi Chen received the Sacred Black Crystal with both hands. It was heavy, much heavier than he had expected. Besides the weight of the crystal, the old man's protectiveness was even heavier.
He didn't know the old man's name, but the old man had protected him like this.
Was it because he was the one who defied the natural order of the life star?
But this old man had been separated from the life star for a long time. Let alone the life star, perhaps the Martial Warrior family had forgotten about him.
Along the way, Shi Yan had seen all kinds of shameless people. He had seen all kinds of reasons to kill people to steal their treasures. Thus, he wasn't angry at these shameless people.
Because he had killed so many people like this, he didn't mind killing more.
What he cared about was the old man's attitude and his protectiveness.
As he didn't want to break the old man's protectiveness, Zi Chen nodded and said, "Okay!
Today, I'll be a spectator! "
The old man turned around, walking out of the mine with the pickaxe in his hand.
At the moment he walked out of the mine, two pickaxes attacked him from the sides. Their speed was really fast.
They were the two men who had been hiding on both sides of the mine.
The old man raised the pickaxe in his hand. Along with the clanging sound, he had stopped the falling pickaxe.
Right after that, the old man kicked the two men away.
"Go to hell!"
In front of him, Ulu's eyes sparkled with cold light. The pickaxe in his hand drew an arc in the air, slashing toward the old man.
The old man bent his waist, dodging the attack. Then, he used the pickaxe to hit Ulu's body, pushing him backward.
Then, the old man spun on the spot and threw a punch. The pickaxe drew a circle, blocking all the attacks coming from the surroundings.
Zi Chen watched the battle in silence. The old man's control of his power was perfect. His moves were also ingenious. The heavy pickaxe in his hand felt as if it was light.
The miners near him also had a good control of their power. However, during the battle, they couldn't get close to the old man. They were blown away, and some of them even coughed out blood.
The pickaxe in the old man's hand danced like the wind, stirring up the water. The people around him were struggling.
However, these people had a strong body defense. After they were knocked down, they could stand up again. They didn't have any wounds. After shaking their heads, they were lively again.
The old man, on the other hand, was rapidly depleting as he fought against several people. His attacks were no longer as sharp as before. He switched from attacking to defending, and then to dodging skillfully.
However, for the time being, he hadn't lost yet.
Zi Chen placed the bamboo basket on the ground and put the Sacred Black Crystal inside. He leaned the pickaxe against the bamboo basket and placed his right hand on his back.
He took off the long strip of cloth on his back and placed it on the ground. Then, he undid the cloth layer by layer, revealing a long saber with a pitch-black scabbard.
