Chapter 182: The Mysterious Companion
Ye Wen lightly tossed the ring, and smiled faintly at Xiao Chen: "No problem, just pay attention to it yourself."
What do you mean I just need to pay attention, Xiao Chen thought to himself, the eyes Ye Wen looked at him were full of deep meaning, more like a warning.
"Let's go, go back tonight and get a good night's sleep. By the way, there is one more important thing I haven't told you. Don't practice here underground, otherwise you will explode and die if you are not careful. There have been many There is a precedent, I hope you don't mess around." Ye Wen solemnly told the two of them.
As a result, he would not be able to practice for a month, and Xiao Chen couldn't help being extremely disappointed. When he first came down, he saw the strong vitality around him, and he was full of hope.
The two talked all the way and returned to the stone room. Seeing that Ye Wen was not here, Mu Xinya said, "Senior Brother Ye, thank you for saving me just now."
Xiao Chen said with a faint smile: "It's okay, it's just helping each other. I don't know when I will be rescued by you."
After returning to the stone room, Xiao Chen asked Mu Xinya to choose the bed first, and then slowly lay down on another stone bed.
The stone room is relatively spacious, and the two of them live in it, but it is not crowded at all. The luminous pearls inlaid on the wall are bright.
Xiao Chen was lying on the bed, not clearing his mind yet. This kind of thing where all escape routes were left in the hands of others really made people feel insecure.
The consciousness spread upwards like a thin thread, but it turned out that as Ye Wen said, this place is really several thousand meters underground, and Xiao Chen's consciousness extended upwards for a distance of nearly two kilometers.
But apart from seeing a few similar mine layers, he didn't know how far it was from the ground. Xiao Chen retracted his consciousness and couldn't help thinking, where is the exit?
Unwilling to give up, Xiao Chen shot his spiritual consciousness around the entire mine layer, and finally turned to the headquarters of this layer, but was blocked by an invisible barrier, and he couldn't get through.
After several attempts, but without success, Xiao Chen had no choice but to give up. In the stone room, there is a simple hourglass to count the time. After looking at it, it is exactly around seven o'clock in the evening according to the earth's time.
It's still early, although you can't practice here, but Xiao Chen doesn't have the habit of going to bed early, so he took out the Qingfeng Zhan that Liu Ruyue gave him and looked at it carefully. The shock of Ye Wen's Qingfeng Zhan today is quite big .
"Senior Brother Ye, I'm done taking a shower, you go and take a shower."
Push open another stone door in the stone chamber,
There is a simple bathroom inside, a basin filled with groundwater, where you don't have to worry about cleaning.
After Mu Xinya came out from the inside, she immediately said to Xiao Chen that the little girl's clothes were neatly dressed and she didn't show the slightest spring light, so it wouldn't embarrass Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen put down the book and nodded. He has no obsession with cleanliness. After he went in, he washed it briefly, put on his clothes, and walked out quickly.
Mu Xinya's personality is relatively lively, when Xiao Chen was reading a book, he kept asking him some questions, the smile on his face never faded, and he was very optimistic about this task.
"Senior Brother Ye, why did you enter the Tiandao Pavilion in the first place? And you also entered Qingyun Peak, which is the weakest."
Mu Xinya's questions came again, endlessly, making Xiao Chen unable to concentrate, put down the book helplessly with a wry smile.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "In the beginning, it was just to save a friend. Later, I found that this place can improve my strength, so I slowly stayed here."
A mischievous smile appeared on Mu Xinya's face and said, "I guess, that friend of yours must be a girl."
"That's right!" Xiao Chen laughed, and changed the topic: "What about you, why did you enter the Heavenly Sword Pavilion?"
On the stone bed, Mu Xinya changed her posture, lay on the wall and said, "My parents asked me to come in, and I've only been here for a month. Actually, I don't want to come."
Xiao Chen secretly marveled that he had the cultivation base of a great martial artist before he went up the mountain. It seems that Mu Xinya's family background must not be simple. After answering this question.
Mu Xinya's mood seemed to become heavier, she lost her previous interest, and after chatting for a while, she went to sleep.
Xiao Chen couldn't sleep, and continued to look at Qingfeng Zhan in his hand. The vitality in his body slowly moved along the route mentioned above, and he felt a surge of energy in an instant.
It's a pity that there is no suitable training place here, Xiao Chen gave up after trying a little bit, after midnight, his eyelids started to fight, and he fell asleep in a daze.
Waking up on time the next morning, Mu Xinya was awakened by the sound of getting up. After washing and eating dry food, the two began to patrol according to the route Ye Wen explained yesterday.
Not long after leaving the house, Xiao Chen saw the team of miners who dug out the raw ore of intermediate spirit stones yesterday. The leader, Supervisor Li, immediately put down his work when he saw the two of them coming.
Came over to say hello: "Hi, young adults, do you have any orders?"
Xiao Chen looked at this person carefully, his height was close to two meters, so Xiao Chen had to look up at him, but what Xiao Chen paid most attention to was his eyes, the eyes of other miners were dull and unfocused.
But his eyes were still full of color, without any look of decadence. If it wasn't for the dirty clothes on his body, he would definitely not remind people of the word miner.
"It's nothing, just come over and take a look. If there's anything wrong, send out the signal immediately." Xiao Chen nodded, and left here with Mu Xinya.
Inspection is an extremely boring thing, especially in the thousands of meters deep underground, Xiao Chen finally understands this task, and there will be so few people coming.
In this hellish environment, I am afraid that anyone who came here once, if not for the urgent need for merit points, no one would come a second time.
The mine was far from it, it was so calm on the surface, after yesterday's experience, Xiao Chen dared not be careless, and walked cautiously in the mine according to the map.
Whoosh!
The sound of the sharp horn suddenly rang piercingly in the mine. The two of Xiao Chen glanced at each other. If something happened, they quickly rushed towards the source of the sound.
The speed of the two was extremely fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at the place where the sound came from. They found a mummy slowly crawling out of the ground, and the miners scattered away.
Xiao Chen said to Mu Xinya: "You organize these people, don't run around, it's just an ordinary mummy, I'll meet it first."
Mu Xinya asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he immediately flew forward, fighting with the mummy that had just emerged from the ground.
Facing this disgusting monster for the first time, Xiao Chen didn't dare to be careless, and carefully resisted the attack of the mummy. Slowly, he felt that the mummy's attacking methods were really limited, and it was completely relying on instinctive speed to attack with sharp claws.
This should be the lowest-level mummy. It didn't take long for Xiao Chen to thoroughly figure out its attack routines, and he no longer intends to delay the battle.
Using the Three Shadows of Flowing Clouds, the figure immediately became blurred, like a small river, circled around the mummy, and slashed three times like lightning.
Swish Swish Swish!
The two arms and the head of the mummy were instantly decapitated, and a large amount of black liquid splashed out. Knowing how powerful the liquid was, Xiao Chen danced a blade of light to block it all from his body.
The mummy, which lost its arms and head, was not completely dead, and rushed towards Xiao Chen with instinct, but there was no threat.
The technique of drawing the knife was used, and it was directly split into two halves. Now it is finally dead.
Putting the knife back into its sheath, Xiao Chen said to the miners who had been organized by Mu Xinya: "Who is the supervisor?"
A miner came out with a bent waist, and said to Xiao Chen, "Returning to my lord, I am the supervisor here."
This person's complexion was dark, his eyes were dull, and he was completely out of focus. Xiao Chen sighed silently in his heart, and said, "Clean up the corpse. According to the rules, you can rest for an hour. I won't bother."
This is what Ye Wen explained. If there is a place where mummies appear, the group of miners can rest for an hour before going to work. Don't worry about it.
The two stayed here for a while longer, and seeing that nothing happened, they left here and continued to patrol.
When they came to a fork in the road, three mine roads ahead appeared in the eyes of the two, but two of them were not equipped with miner's lamps, and it was pitch black. According to the explanation, this is a dead road and there is no need to patrol.
When he was about to leave, Xiao Chen suddenly saw a pair of green eyes flashing in one of the mine tunnels, but when he fixed his eyes to look, he found nothing.
Spread out the consciousness and search for a long time, but still found nothing.
"Senior Brother Ye, what's the matter?" Mu Xinya next to him asked suspiciously.
Xiao Chen felt a little inappropriate, and said: "Don't move, I'll go in and have a look, there seems to be something inside."
Mu Xinya looked into Xiao Chen's gaze, "Isn't that a dead end? I'll go with you."
"No, maybe it's just my eyes dazzled." After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he walked in directly. His eyes were in the darkness, exuding a lavender light. In the dark mine tunnel, he could clearly see the surrounding area ten meters away. distance.
Xiao Chen went deep into the distance of 200 meters, but found nothing. When he was about to leave, he found footsteps coming from behind, but it was Mu Xinya who followed.
"Let's go, you don't need to follow me, it's my eyesight." Xiao Chen said to Mu Xinya behind him.
But the moment he turned around, he saw Mu Xinya's face was a bit ugly, and he quickly pulled out the pair of mandarin ducks from his waist, and a cold light flashed in the mine.
The Yuanyang Saber in his left hand made a clear trembling sound in the air, and flew towards Xiao Chen's head like lightning.
The mandarin duck sword is mostly used by women, because the length of the blade is relatively short, and most men will feel that it is not aggressive enough to use it. If you only look at the appearance, it is also in line with the girl's delicate personality.
But in fact, the power and imposing manner of the Yuanyang Saber was not at all delicate. Xiao Chen watched the Yuanyang Saber roaring towards him, swallowing the cold glow in the dark night.
There was a brief pause in his thoughts, but after a while, he made an action immediately, relying on his trust in Mu Xinya, he didn't shoot him down.
Using the Qinglong Tengyun Jue, in the mine, he swam quickly like a dragon, and turned around behind Mu Xinya.
