"Disappeared?"
Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. He could not believe it.
Three Strength Realm cultivators were considered top-notch experts here. How could they disappear?
"Yes, I know of two who suddenly disappeared," Hu Zheng said.
"Did they enter Shata City?"
"Impossible, it's not that fast."
Zi Chen fell into deep thought. He understood what Hu Zheng meant.
"I heard that the two Strength Realm cultivators went to look for the shaman after they broke through."
His words were very obvious.
This was also the reason why Hu Zheng stopped Zi Chen from entering the mine. Everyone could enter except for Zi Chen.
Zi Chen would be in danger if he went back this time. The matter with Luo Xie was not over yet. The other party had been well-behaved during this period of time. They were not really yielding, but they were enduring. When they returned, they would definitely cause trouble.
"It's obviously a good thing if we can find the Martial Crystal after entering.
However, if we can't find it, it will be endless trouble. "
This was Hu Zheng's warning. One had to admit that it was very reasonable.
Zi Chen nodded and gave up on the idea of entering.
The main reason was that the Martial Crystal here depended on luck. The mine was so big, but only one piece was produced after so many years. The probability was too low.
The others had already made their preparations. Everyone would return early the next morning.
Of course, this was all arranged by Luo Xie. This was supposed to be a huge profit, but unfortunately, it was ruined by Zi Chen.
However, Zi Chen's action saved at least dozens of lives.
There was also a person in charge of the first mine. He was arranging accommodation for the newcomers and assigning new tasks. The people Zi Chen brought were all resting in the open.
Zi Chen looked at the busy crowd and thought about Hu Zheng's words.
Obviously, they could not enter the mine anymore. Otherwise, there would be trouble.
Suddenly, a panicked voice came from one of the mines. Many people were running out crazily.
"Run!"
"Dead, they're all dead!"
Everyone shouted and quickly rushed out from inside.
"What happened?" A person in charge came forward and asked.
"My Lord, someone dug a place and a ray of light suddenly flew out. When the light came into contact with a person, it would drill into the person's body and the person would die."
A survivor said in horror.
"Hmm …"
When Hu Zheng heard the other party's voice, his expression changed.
Zi Chen looked at Hu Zheng. "Do you know what it is?"
Hu Zheng said in a deep voice, "Maybe it's the Martial Crystal Stone. It's emitting Martial Power."
Zi Chen thought of the Killing Crystal. If he wanted to touch the Killing Crystal, the first thing he would encounter would be the killing force. Only after successfully blocking it would he be able to obtain the crystals.
At first, Zi Chen did not go in because he was not sure. But now, it was obvious that Wu Jingshi had appeared again. It was worth a try.
"Then why did you come out? Why aren't you going in?" The person in charge shouted, "Dig that thing out. Each of you will be rewarded with ten strands of energy."
This reward was not small, but compared to his own life, it was insignificant.
No one dared to enter.
No matter how the person in charge beat and scolded them, no one went in.
That kind of power was too terrifying. Only death awaited those who touched it.
"Damn it, it's definitely Martial Crystals. This is a great opportunity."
Luo Xie could not help but step forward and say, "Whoever can go in and bring out a crystal will be rewarded with a hundred strands of energy."
The reward was increased by ten times, which made many people tempted. But when they thought of the deaths of those people, no one dared to go in.
"Two hundred strands!"
Luo Xie shouted again. After so many years of embezzlement, he was really rich.
At this moment, Zi Chen suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Gavin.
Luo Xie, who was in charge of a few people, could take out more than two hundred strands of energy. The dignified Gavin, who was in charge of a force, could not take out more than a hundred strands of energy every day.
But now was not the time to worry about this. Zi Chen walked forward. "I'll go take a look."
"You?"
Luo Xie turned his head and glanced at Zi Chen. The mockery that had subconsciously surfaced in his eyes immediately disappeared when he saw Zi Chen clearly.
"This … I already said that there will only be rewards if you take out the crystals.
If you can't take out the Martial Crystals, there will be no reward. "
Luo Xie said, "Also, life and death are up to fate."
"Who will lead the way for me?" Zi Chen looked at the miners.
Naturally, no one was willing to lead the way because going in again would mean death.
Zi Chen took out two strands of energy and said, "Just point the way for me after you go in. You don't have to take the risk."
Luo Xie in the distance saw this and a trace of disdain flashed in the corner of his mouth. "Only two strands of energy. Poor bastard, serves you right for not being greedy."
Naturally, no one around agreed.
Zi Chen took out two more strands of energy. "It's just a guide. Just tell me the exact route when you think it's safe."
"Five strands of energy, I'll go!" At this moment, someone suddenly spoke.
"Let's go!"
Zi Chen took out another strand of energy. A total of five strands of energy were thrown to the other party.
"Sir, follow me."
The other party took the energy, picked up a torch, and walked into the mine again.
Zi Chen followed behind, picked up a torch, and walked in.
At this time, he still had to put on an act.
Miao Pengfei was very nervous. After returning this time, Luo Xie would definitely make things difficult for him. However, if Zi Chen refined the Martial Crystal here and broke through to the Third Strength Realm, he would naturally be able to resolve the crisis.
Luo Xie watched Zi Chen go in and a smile flashed in the corner of his mouth. "It seems that I don't need to target you anymore."
He naturally knew about the Martial Crystal. It was indeed a good thing.
However, it was extremely difficult to obtain it.
Not to mention a Second Strength Realm, even a Third Strength Realm cultivator would die if they encountered it.
Zi Chen entered the mine. The torch emitted a faint light, barely illuminating the surroundings.
The First Strength Realm cultivator who led the way carefully moved forward.
Zi Chen said, "I'll go in front. You lead the way."
Zi Chen walked in front and sped up. The First Strength Realm cultivator began to guide him, but after walking halfway, he did not dare to go in.
He gave Zi Chen the direction and immediately retreated.
Zi Chen followed the other party's guidance and walked forward. He gradually increased his speed.
Last time, the power of the Killing Crystal was neutralized by the Slaughter Spirit. He did not know if the Slaughter Spirit could neutralize the power this time.
After going deeper, Zi Chen's eyes began to shine. At the same time, he summoned the Slaughter Spirit and made multiple preparations.
Following the person's guidance, after turning a corner, Zi Chen gradually approached his destination.
In his field of vision, rays of bright light appeared. These rays of light were like energy, filling the surroundings.
Whoosh!
Under Zi Chen's control, the Slaughter Spirit rushed past, but did not absorb these rays of energy.
In the next moment, these rays of energy moved and suddenly rushed towards Zi Chen.
