Chapter 2 The Sapphire Institute (Part 2)

Ninety-eight human warriors, carrying ninety-eight green jades, walked towards the fourteenth green jade in front of them under the leadership of the fierce and tall captain.

Although the distance between the two jade stations is only five miles, for them, if they are not careful, this is the path between life and death.

In the sun, the team moved forward slowly but quietly, and no one spoke loudly.

Yin He was walking in the crowd and suddenly felt footsteps sounding beside him. Someone rushed forward and came to his side for two steps, shouted in a low voice, saying, "Brother Yin."

Yin He looked back and saw a young man with a round face beside him, nodded and said, "What's wrong, Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Wu looks a few years younger than Yin He, probably less than twenty years younger, but those who can work in the inner ring are naturally very strong, so they look strong.

Like Yin He, he also carried a piece of green jade on his back, but at this moment he looked a little nervous. When he was walking, he kept looking at both sides of the road. After walking to Yin He, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, there is no danger on our road, right?"

Yin He smiled, glanced at him, and said, "Why, are you scared?"

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment and murmured: "When Datou died yesterday, I was watching from the side. He was still alone not long ago, but in a blink of an eye... he died."

Datou is the person who was scratched by the black poisonous vines yesterday and then died of poison in an instant. Yin He naturally knew it.

In fact, among this team, he had been in the inner ring for three years. Except for that captain, no one has ever had more seniority and richer experience than him.

"Is this the first time I took this road?" Yin He asked Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Well, I have only been in for a month, and I have been working at the Qingyu Station No. 1 and 2 before... Here, the 13th and 14th Qingyu Station No. 1, this is the first time I have walked such a long way."

After speaking, his voice became a little low, as if he was very uneasy.

Yin He frowned slightly, looked at the young man more, as if he had thought of something, but he quickly smiled and smiled at him: "Of course this place will be much more dangerous than the one in the Qingyu Institute No. 1 and 2. After all, you have entered the inner ring. But don't worry, as long as you follow the team, at least nothing will happen on this road."

After pausing for a while, Yin He said again: "There was an accident yesterday. He accidentally fell down and left this path. He fell into a deep pit that no one had cleaned up next to him, so he was in trouble. You should be careful and don't make mistakes."

Xiao Wu thought about it, then nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, thank you Brother Yin."

Yin He smiled and shook his head. He was about to speak, but someone behind him suddenly roared and shouted: "Hey, little kid, walk well, where do you come from so much nonsense? Do you want to die?"

The voice was fierce and full of fierceness, and it was the captain who was in charge of everyone.

Xiao Wu was so scared that he lowered his head, walked away quickly like a cicada, and didn't dare to say a word.

Yin He looked at his back and swallowed what he wanted to say. After a while, a tall figure walked over from behind, came to him, and walked side by side with him. It was the captain with a fierce voice and a ferocious face.

The people around were obviously very awe of the captain. When they saw him coming, they subconsciously stayed away, including Xiao Wu in front of them, and he also accelerated his pace and was further away from them.

The captain also carried a piece of green jade on his back, but for him, it seemed that the stone was unhindered and he did not feel the weight. It can be seen that he had divine power on his body.

He didn't look at Yin He either, looking ahead, but after a while, he lowered his voice and asked in a low voice that only Yin He could hear: "What did he say to you?"

Yin He's face was calm, and he lowered his voice, saying, "I didn't say anything, but I was scared when I saw Datou die tragically yesterday. Come and ask me if there is any danger here."

The captain snorted, looking a little disdain and contempt, but his face obviously eased.

Yin He glanced at him, pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Xiao Wu's identity and family background, do you know?"

The captain frowned and said, "I don't know, there are so many things here all day long, so how can I care about where he came from?"

Yin He looked at the back of the young man ahead again and said, "I think he must have offended someone, right?"

The captain said, "What do you say?"

Yin Hedao: "He has only been in for a month and he doesn't know anything. He should have been placed at the Qingyu Station No. 1 and 2 and slowly tempered it, but now he has arrived directly here."

When he said this, Yin He sighed and said, "The group of people who came here three years ago are still alive now, maybe the only two of us are left."

The captain's fierce face twisted for a moment, and suddenly sneered, saying, "That's his worth, it's all my business. Whether it's dead or alive here depends on himself."

Yin He shrugged, and seemed to have no objection to the captain's words.

The sun shone, and the team of people carrying green jade continued to move forward slowly. A forest gradually appeared in front of them, and the road under them passed through that forest.

The captain's somewhat irritable and fierce voice sounded again at this time, making everyone hear it, as if they were roaring and roaring: "Light my eyes open. After entering the forest, don't go the wrong way, don't touch flowers, trees, wild fruits, and don't provoke birds and beasts, otherwise no one will collect your corpses if you die!"

Many people raised their heads at the same time and looked at the forest that seemed a little deep. A trace of fear gradually rose on their faces, but the team did not stop and slowly approached the forest at the urging of the captain.

Yin He walked among the crowd and looked just an ordinary and ordinary member. He just took a casual look at the woods ahead, not seeming to care too much.

"Do you think the construction speed has been slower and slower recently?" When they followed the team into this forest, Yin He suddenly asked the captain beside him.

The captain didn't say anything, but nodded.

"It has been a month since the No. 15th Qingyu Station in front has not been built yet." Yin He said, "Is it possible that there is something too difficult and dangerous ahead that cannot be solved?"

The captain was silent for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be this problem. I think that in the past two months, no, it should be in the past three or four months, the blue jade stones coming in from outside seem to be gradually becoming less and less."

Yin He was stunned for a moment and said, "There is still this?"

The captain said: "Well, you didn't pay attention to this, I don't know why. If I take care of these hundred people to transport goods, I will naturally realize that there are indeed fewer jade stones coming in outside."

Yin Hedao: "Didn't it mean that the green jade is formed in the Divine River, and it is infinite in number and cannot be taken out?"

"Who knows what's going on! Maybe it's been mined for seventy or eighty years, and all the green jade that is easy to get is dug, and the rest is in the depths of the Divine River, so it's hard to dig." The captain guessed.

Yin He laughed, the captain looked at him and said angrily: "You laugh so hard! No matter how few green jades are, you can move them... Well, I said, why does the forest seem very quiet today?"

Yin He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked around.

The road under your feet was built by the Human Guard a few years ago. Although it is rough but still flat. When you pass through this forest, you can still see the surrounding branches, leaves, vegetation and trees lush and appear vibrant.

But both the captain and Yin He are old-fashioned people. They are the ones who have walked through the most woods among this team, so they first realized that the forest seemed a little strange compared to usual.

This woods are too quiet.

In the past, when they walked here, there were always dangers everywhere. The sound of birds and beasts would come from the depths of the forest from time to time. However, today, they walked far away without any sound.

The whole forest seemed to have suddenly lost all living things, leaving only those trees standing in place.

The muscles on the captain's face tightened and he whispered: "Something is wrong!"

Yin He saw that he seemed to want to run forward, and at the same time, he yelled, and quickly grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Don't do anything random! There are many people here who don't have enough experience. If you yell, you warn me a few times, I'm afraid that something will happen to them first."

The captain gritted his teeth and said, "What do you think you should do?"

Yin He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay now, so let's take a while to take a look."

The captain hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

This conversation only happened between the two of them, and no one in the surrounding team heard this again, so most people were still walking in the forest calmly, and the team was moving forward slowly.

No accident happened, at least, not now.

Everything was quiet and everyone was peaceful.

The captain's eyes kept scanning the surrounding forests, and suddenly asked for no reason: "Do you still remember the original monster in this forest?"

Yin He thought for a moment and said, "Blood Wolf?"

The captain nodded and said, "Well, Blood Wolf. There was a wolf pack here back then, which was really fierce, but later it was surrounded and killed by us, so it would be peaceful here."

Yin He smiled and said, "Why, do you still want to go back to the guard?"

The captain snorted and said, "I can't stand the days when I live with my head in my arms, and I don't know how to live or die tomorrow. Can you do it? Then go back."

Yin He sighed and said, "I can't do it either. I saw too many people dead back then..."
