After Xia Shisan and others left, Fu Jingtao weighed the baggage in his hand and found that it was very light and contained a flat box - I wonder what rare things were hidden in the box, which could trigger a human-scorpion war? He

Of course, I would not spy on it privately. I put the baggage on the bottom of the backpack, placed the ore on top, covered it with the rope ladder, and then returned to the entrance of the canyon.

At this time, Zhu Ziqiang and others hurried out with nervous expressions, probably frightened by the sound of fighting. After everyone gathered together, they didn't waste any time and immediately got into the mine tunnel and retreated.

After turning a fork in the road, he suddenly heard a cold shout from the shadow: "Stop!" Zhu Ziqiang and others hurriedly stood still, only to see a flash of cold light, and a big man wearing armor and holding a knife blocked the way, his eyes were gloomy and cold.

, with demonic energy lingering around him, he looked like a murderous demon at first glance.

Fu Jingtao felt like a mirror, this devil was probably Xia Shisan's enemy! He immediately restrained his aura and pretended to be dumbfounded to avoid arousing suspicion.

Zhu Ziqiang wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Master, what are your orders?"

The big man said coldly: "Have you met anyone else in Hot Springs Canyon?"

Zhu Ziqiang said cautiously: "The villain heard the sound of fighting and killing in the distance, and was afraid that poisonous insects would attack, so he led everyone to evacuate the canyon, and did not see anyone appearing."

The big man glanced at the slaves indifferently, as if he was looking down at the withered bones of ants, and did not take them seriously at all. He ordered the slaves to turn around, and then inserted the tip of the knife into the backpack one by one to check. When it was Fu Jingtao's turn

, the steel knife made a clanking sound when it hit the ore.

The big man smiled half-heartedly and said, "Hey, you guys are very lucky today!"

Fu Jingtao smiled naively and said, "Thank God for the food." After saying this, he took off his backpack and took out two pieces of blood jade and presented them to him.

The big man nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, young people have a future." He put the ore away politely and disappeared with a swish of invisibility.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and ran away. Fu Jingtao asked doubtfully: "Brother Zhu, wasn't that person from the mine protection team just now? Why did he blackmail us halfway?"

Zhu Ziqiang whispered: "The mine protection team is roughly divided into three groups. One is the barbarians and horse thieves from the Western Regions, one is the masters of various factions in the Central Plains, and the other is various disciples of the Demon Sect. They fight openly and secretly on weekdays, and each has its own agenda.

Little abacus. The disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect also need the help of blood jade when practicing magic skills, so they often blackmail the mining slaves and secretly keep the ore for their own use. If you just didn't know what to do, you will inevitably get a beating!"

Fu Jingtao asked curiously: "Does Five Elements Hall care about this kind of nonsense?"

Zhu Ziqiang said: "The devils of the Five Elements Hall have a close relationship with them. How should we control them? As long as they are not too greedy and don't make too much trouble, the Five Elements Hall will turn a blind eye. Anyway, their cultivation has improved.

Improved magic skills will be of great benefit to hunting underground poisonous insect monsters, allowing mining to proceed smoothly."

Fu Jingtao suddenly realized that although these Demon Sect disciples who were assigned to the mine protection team were in trouble, they refused to abide by the rules. Relying on the support of their fellow disciples, they not only dared to rob the ore, but also most likely robbed Xia Shisan and other discovered

Xia Shisan had already expected this, so she entrusted him to keep the things secretly. By helping Xia Shisan this time, he would undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of the demon sect, and he would be in trouble in the future.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

The mine protection team is not a place for self-cultivation. The secrets are full of swords and swords. Especially in the dangerous and unpredictable underground caves, any accident may happen.

After leaving the mine entrance, hundreds of mining slaves had gathered outside. Their faces were either happy or sad, angry or sad, and most of them felt lucky to have escaped death. They discussed with each other the gains and losses of mining, and they also had some thoughts of showing off.

There was a buzzing noise.

Zhu Ziqiang and others lined up to hand in tools and ores, and his own Five Elements Hall disciples were responsible for recording everyone's harvest results. According to regulations, the number of ores mined by a mining slave was counted under his name. When a certain amount is accumulated, he can exchange it with the Five Elements Hall for such things as

Rewards such as wine and meat can even be exchanged for freedom and get rid of the identity of a mining slave. When Fu Jingtao took out six pieces of blood jade ore, there was a hissing sound around him, and all kinds of envious, jealous and hateful eyes shot towards him like arrows.

You must know that after decades of mining and searching, the original veins have been exhausted, and now blood jade has become increasingly rare. To complete the task, the mining slaves have to risk going deep into unfamiliar areas to search for minerals, which is equivalent to carrying a

Therefore, the consumption rate of ordinary mining slaves is very high, and Scorpion City must try to recruit a new group of people every month.

Fu Jingtao's harvest today is equal to a month's quota for an ordinary mining slave. How can he not be jealous?

The Five Elements Hall disciple in charge of registration glanced at Fu Jingtao and asked lightly: "Where did you find so many ores?"

Fu Jingtao replied: "Downstream of Thunder Falls."

The disciples of the Five Elements Hall trembled in their hearts. There were a large group of Dark River Demon Lizards living downstream of the Thunder Falls. Anyone who strayed into their territory would be attacked wildly. However, the boy in front of him was unscathed. Could there be something magical about him? Why did he become a

What about ordinary mine slaves?

After Fu Jingtao handed over the ore, he took out the baggage hidden at the bottom of the backpack and carried it on his back.

The Five Elements Hall disciple's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help shouting: "What a courageous dog, you dare to hide items secretly! Take it out quickly!"

Fu Jingtao shook his head and said: "This is not ore. It was entrusted to me by others for safekeeping, so I can't give it to you."

The Five Elements Hall disciple said with a ferocious smile: "You are a mining slave, what qualifications do you have to defend me? If you are asked to hand it over, hand it over as soon as possible, otherwise I will break your dog legs."

Fu Jingtao refused: "No!"

How could the Five Elements Hall disciple stand down in front of so many people? He raised his eyebrows, stepped forward with a roar, feinted with his left palm, and slapped him with his right palm.

Fu Jingtao saw it clearly. He turned his palm into a knife and struck the right pulse gate of the Five Elements Hall disciple. Taking advantage of the moment when half of his body was numb, he gathered strength in his shoulders and leaned forward. With a muffled bang, the Five Elements Hall disciple

The cousin stumbled back a few steps involuntarily, covering his chest and his expression changed again and again.

The surrounding mine slaves were stunned. How dare this young man resist the Five Elements Hall disciples? Did he not want his life? More importantly, he could still have the upper hand?!

The Five Elements Hall disciple's face turned red and white. He was humiliated by a mine slave today. How will he behave in the future? He screamed: "You brat, you are looking for death! Brothers, chop him up!"
