Chapter 184: The Strange Mine
After staying here for a while, seeing that nothing happened, the two of them started to rush to another miner. On the way, they didn't dare to be careless. If there was any mistake, they would suffer a little if they were sprayed on the spirit-swallowing insects.
A morning passed like this, and the mine cave was a little scary. The eighth floor mine tunnel was much smaller than Xiao Chen had originally imagined.
The dense lines on the map look scary, but in fact, most of them are dead ends. There are not many places to patrol. I think this is probably why only two people need to patrol here.
In fact, in Xiao Chen's opinion, even if he and the other two are not here, there will be no big trouble. If you draw two of the ten martial masters guarding the headquarters, you can easily complete the work of the two of them.
In just one morning, the two of them patrol the entire mine, took out the dry food they carried with them, and started to rest on the spot.
Mu Xinya's words didn't stop for a moment. As soon as she sat down, she asked: "Senior Brother Ye, do you think there are any rules for the appearance of these spirit-swallowing insects?"
During the inspection just now, some spirit-swallowing insects appeared, but they all flew away before the two took action, making people helpless.
Xiao Chen didn't notice the rules of this, and couldn't help but ask: "What did you see?"
Mu Xinya smiled and said, "I have wisdom and magical powers, of course I can see that. Do you think the spiritual swallowing etworms we usually see are? Is it a place where there are miners or no miners?"
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have something in his mind. It seemed that there were miners, but there was no spirit-swallowing insect in the place.
The spirit-swallowing insect is not like a mummy. It moves slowly when it comes out. It can give miners time to ask for help. Just come out and spit out a few mouthfuls of venom, which can easily kill these miners.
But it seems that such a thing has not been born yet. There is no precedent for the spirit-swallowing insect to attack miners, but what does this have to do with the law of the appearance of the spirit-swallowing insects?
Mu Xinya smiled proudly and said, "Did you think of something? Seeing your puzzled look, you will definitely not be able to figure out the joints here."
"Let me tell you, the spirit-swallowing insects naturally have to swallow the spirit stone ore to survive. If you didn't see it, you can only say that your schedule and schedule are different from theirs."
Xiao Chen suddenly realized his clarity and immediately understood the joints, saying, "We both started to rest after resting with the miners, which means that the spirit-swallowing insects will not come out to move when we rest."
Mu Xinya nodded and said, "You can actually look at the problem from a different perspective. After the spirit-swallowing insects rested, the miners and us started working. After the spirit-swallowing insects came out to work, we started to rest."
Mu Xinya's words were just to turn Xiao Chen's words upside down. Their surface meanings were the same, but if you savor them carefully, you will realize that the charm will completely change.
Xiao Chen was not stupid, and soon thought of the joints, the time for the miners and the working hours they came out were not determined casually, but the people above decided according to the activity rules of the spirit-swallowing insects.
The purpose is to avoid the activities of the spirit-swallowing insects, but why do you do this? The strength of the spirit-swallowing insects is not strong. If you can gather them together and catch them all in one go, wouldn’t it be better?
Ye Wen once said that the biggest enemy in this mine is not the mummy, but the spirit-swalking insects that live by devouring the spirit stone ore.
Could it be that Ye Wen didn't tell the truth at that time? Xiao Chen thought a little, this little spirit-swallowing insect could not have any tricks, right?
Mu Xinya came over and said quirkyly: "Senior Brother Ye, do you think we should go out tonight to get a merit point? I promise that we can get at least 100 o'clock, and only one night is enough."
This should be the reason why Mu Xinya came back so late last night. When Xiao Chen heard her proposal, he felt a little moved, but then he denied the idea and said, "These are just your guesses. There is no evidence, so don't say it in the future."
"But I..." Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't believe her words, Mu Xinya couldn't help but feel anxious on her cute face.
Xiao Chen interrupted her and said, "Don't worry, spend this month peacefully. I always feel a little unsafe to stay here. It's better not to have troubles!"
Huh!
A harsh alarm sound floated rapidly in the mine cave. The two changed their faces, and then they quickly stopped the conversation and rushed towards the source of the sound.
Before we arrived, we met the escaped miners on the road. The miners were walking in a hurry in the mine track, looking a little strange.
Xiao Chen was shocked. The low-level mummies should not have such a great deterrent power. They actually scared these miners into this appearance. They quickly found the supervisor and asked.
The supervisor said with a pale face: "Two little adults, run away quickly. I don't know what I dug out this time, and two mutant mummies came out at once. Half of our dead brothers."
Xiao Chen frowned at both ends and fell into deep thought. The so-called mutated mummy is the mummy that Ye Wen took a lot of effort to kill that day.
Today, two ends appeared. What was dug out to lead out the two mutated mummies? Could it be that they were advanced spirit stones?
No matter what, I still have to check the situation before talking about it. I can't believe the one-sided words of these people.
These miners don’t care about them for now. Such a big thing happened, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask them to go to mining today.
After taking out the map and asking the supervisor for the location of the matter, Xiao Chen immediately took Mu Xinya toward the place of affairs and ran quickly, and his spiritual sense spread more than 200 meters all over his body without any consumption.
"Stop!" Xiao Chen, who was moving forward, suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled Mu Xinya behind him to stop, and took the map to compare the location where the matter was left, leaving only more than 600 meters.
More than 600 meters are just a few breaths for warriors in the Martial Master realm.
The strength of the mutated mummy is conservatively estimated to be of the lower-grade martial arts master. Xiao Chen dared not be careless. If he breaks in rashly, he may lose his life if he accidentally.
Turning his spiritual consciousness into a thin thread and slowly letting it go in.
After a while, Xiao Chen saw the scene of the place where things happened. On the messy ground, there were miners' corpses, and the hearts of the corpses were all taken out.
There were bloodstains on the ground. Xiao Chen's spiritual sense circled around it, but unexpectedly there was no mummy.
Strangely, where did these man-eating mummies go? Xiao Chen thought in confusion, and carefully searched the spiritual sense around him, but there was still no mummies.
After repeated confirmation, Xiao Chen brought Mu Xinya to the site and began to look for what the group of miners said to have dug.
The first time I saw so many miners die tragically, Mu Xinya's face looked a little ugly. Seeing this, Xiao Chen patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't think too much, this kind of thing is inevitable. They have signed a life-and-death agreement before they come. If they die, their families will receive a lot of compensation."
"For them, there is no regret. They have thought of this since they signed a life-and-death contract."
Mu Xinya's face was still a little ugly, and she forced herself to smile and said, "I know, hurry up and find what they said!"
The two began to search everywhere. Before coming, Xiao Chen had already used his spiritual sense to shoot him many times, but he did not appear. Now he came here in person and started to search, but he still couldn't find what the supervisor said.
Could it be that the supervisor was lying, or did he say that both mummies had killed the people and took away the dugout?
Compared with the latter, Xiao Chen was more willing to believe in the former, because if the answer was the latter, it would mean that these two mutated mummies had simple intelligence.
If this is true, it would be an extremely terrifying thing. Mummies with intelligence are much more difficult to deal with than mummies without intelligence and fighting by instinct.
If these two mummies lurked for a long time and kept practicing in this mine cave, their cultivation might increase even more terrifyingly and become a corpse king-like existence. Xiao Chen felt a little chilled when he thought about it.
"Stop looking for it, it's obvious that it was those two mummies who took the things away." Xiao Chen said slowly. Although he didn't want this answer in his heart, the facts were clearly in front of him.
The supervisor could not lie to him because he had no choice but to walk out of this mine. If he lies to him, he would be punished immediately after finding out, unless he was killed.
After Xiao Chen said that, he took Mu Xinya and rushed to the headquarters. Such a big deal was no longer possible for them to solve.
When Xiao Chen saw Ye Wen at the headquarters, he told Ye Wen all the things. Ye Wen's two brows frowned together and said, "Where have those surviving miners gone?"
Xiao Chen replied: "I'll let them go and rest for such a big deal."
"You go to the collective dormitory to find the supervisor to see me." Ye Wen turned around and ordered someone, and then said to Xiao Chen and the others: "You are accompanying me to the place of affairs."
No one was a little dissatisfied with running back and forth, but Xiao Chen had to bear it at this moment and took Ye Wen back to the place of the matter again.
After arriving, Ye Wen began to check carefully without saying a word. After a while, the person who was ordered by Ye Wen to take the supervisor came and ran over with anxiety.
"Elder Ye, this group of people did not appear in the collective dormitory, and the miners who were taking turns to take turns to take off today and miners in other places also said that they had not seen this group of people at all. I also searched around myself, but I couldn't find it. The group of people seemed to have disappeared."
Xiao Chen was shocked and said in a daze: "How is that possible!"
How could it disappear? She and Mu Xinya clearly saw it, and were a large group of miners. Xiao Chen thought in great confusion.
Mu Xinya said strangely next to her, "It's impossible. We saw at least twenty miners in the middle, and the supervisor had even talked to us, how could it disappear?"
