C620 Inlet
At this time of the year, it was almost the height of summer. After night fell, the mountain breeze from Savage Mountain blew away the scorching heat of the day.
Mining the Jadeite Origin Mine was different from those heavy industry after all. The sky above the mining site was not polluted at all. The entire sky was filled with flickering stars. The Milky Way cut across the sky, and the hook-like moon silently gazed at all things in time, sprinkling the soft moonlight.
The night was as tranquil as water, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of someone stepping on a rock. Furthermore, Lin Bai was shocked to discover that there seemed to be no animals or insects living in this mining site. The wind blew, and only a few weeds danced, casting shadows.
This kind of tranquility was too weird. It was fortunate that these people were not ordinary people. If it was an ordinary person who had come to such a lifeless place late at night, they would have done something unhealthy.
The shed wasn't too far away from the mine, and they didn't expend much effort when they arrived at the entrance of the mine. Staring at the pitch-black depths of the tunnel, the expressions on the faces of the crowd turned solemn for the first time ever.
"Everyone, the treasure is right below us. Let's see if we have the ability to take it out now!" Lu Nianhua swept his eyes over the crowd before continuing in a low voice, "We'll each rely on our own abilities. Once we enter this cave, we'll leave life and death to the heavens!"
"Boss Lu, you're right!" I, Su Rui Tai, will say no more, this is my life! If someone wants to take the Taisui away from me, that person is trying to take my life! Wait until then, don't blame this old one for being ruthless! " Su Rui Tai sneered when he heard this.
Cheng Baisheng immediately refused to listen, and coldly said, "You regard this Grand Year as your fate, so how can we treat it as your old shoes? If it wasn't for that thread of hope, why would the rest of us risk coming here? Boss Lu has just said that survival depends on one's own ability. It's best not to talk big! "
"I promise you, as long as anyone can return the Taisui to me, our Yan Clan will definitely pay you back! "From now on, you will be a distinguished guest of our Yan Clan. As long as it's something our clan can do, we will definitely do our best to help!" Yan Zhongshu still refused to give up, bowing towards the crowd with a sinister glint in his eyes.
The others snorted coldly when they heard this, but no one paid any attention to him. Being too old was like a life, what in the world would be more important than one's life? And who would give their life to someone else! Besides, these old fellows had already seen through everything in the world. Only his own was the most real. It was impossible to rely on others to become extinct!
"I suggest that after we enter the cave, it's best if we don't get into too much of a fight! You all have heard what happened in the cave from Mr. Wu. If we are unable to obtain the treasure, then we will fight to the death and both of us will suffer. Hong Ye, who had been silent all this while, smiled coquettishly after glancing at her.
As his voice fell, the cold expressions of Su Rui Tai, Cheng Bai Sheng, Yan Zhongshu, and the others remained the same, but the tense atmosphere instantly dissolved. However, everyone present knew that this was just a moment of tranquility before the storm. When the time came, a chaotic battle would inevitably occur between these people!
"There's no need to talk so much. I will first set up an energy blocking array at the entrance of the mine to prevent any strange movements from being discovered by others. They will covet it!" It was as though Lu Yanzhao wasn't the least bit surprised by the sudden turn of events, as he expressionlessly walked to the side and spoke to the crowd.
After saying this, Lu Yanzhao's feet slowly stepped forward using the Astral Steps. After which, he stepped onto an eight trigram formation that was a dozen square meters, which coincidentally enveloped the entrance to the mining cave. He then took out eight pieces of the best old water jade from his pocket and arranged them according to the direction in which the Heaven and Earth Ganglion had departed from Kan Xun.
After doing all of this, Lu Yanzhao looked up at the stars in the sky. His hands slowly formed hand seals, and the mana in his body slowly reached its peak! Then, he began to chant an incantation. His body moved according to the position of the Eight Trigrams, and he left through the Sunset Palace. After the Eight Trigrams were merged, he began to activate the formation with his divine sense.
He kept mumbling non-stop as he looked up at the sky, but his footsteps were incomparably steady, as if the stones under his feet were flat.
Looking at Lu Yanzhao's every move, Lin Bai's face was expressionless. However, he was secretly amazed in his heart. Although Lu Yanzhao's method of setting up the formation appeared extremely ordinary, even the incantations he chanted could not be considered complicated. However, every time he stepped on it, a strange aura gushed out from the array, making it impossible for anyone to see through everything in the mine!
However, the more Lu Yan and Zhao, the more suspicious Lin Bai was! According to common sense, with Lu Yanzhao's cultivation level, he shouldn't be so lacking in the martial arts world. What kind of secret did such an extremely well-hidden person possess in his heart? Moreover, for some reason, Lin Bai felt that Lu Yanzhao's methods were a little familiar!
When everything was done, the sky was already pitch black. Many stars were already shrouded by the dark clouds! At the same time, the howls of the beasts began to come from the mountain. As the howls got closer, specks of green light appeared around the cave. The roars of the beasts were filled with irritation.
However, at this time, the surrounding aura of the cave had been completely sealed. Those wild beasts were not intelligent beings, so after patrolling around the cave for a long time, they couldn't find the location of the cave. They had no choice but to run back to the foot of the mountain.
"Everyone, I have already prepared a way out for you! Now we will enter the mine! " Lu Yan took a glance outside of the array and fished out a few brick phones from his backpack, one for each person, and then said, "This is the Iridium phone. There are still signals underground, making it convenient for us to contact each other!"
No one said a word. They each took a piece and put it on their waists before bravely walking into the mine tunnel!
The moment they entered the cavern, after walking for a mere two to three meters, the temperature of the surrounding people plummeted. It was as though they had reached below freezing point, causing goosebumps to appear all over their bodies. Furthermore, in the depths of the mine, there was a continuous stream of indistinct black fog flashing back and forth. It was even more shocking!
Moreover, there was no wind blowing in this mine tunnel. The air seemed to have solidified, leaving only an endless chill in the air. Lu Yanzhao and the others all had grave expressions on their faces. They stared fixedly at their surroundings, their expressions extremely solemn. As for Lin Bai, he seemed to be deep in thought. This was not because of anything else, but because this feeling in the mine was far too familiar!
A land of extreme Yin! If one were to use his toes to think, Lin Bai would be able to feel it. This was definitely the same Yin Field as the one he was in. However, Lin Bai could not understand why this mountain of barbarians would be able to grow so old, and why it would cause so many humans and wild beasts to die in this cave after their blood essence had been sucked dry.
When he first left Hua Xia, he didn't bring the little black cat with him. If this Baleful Yin Faction ancestor was here, he would definitely be able to help me see through this mine. But now, I can only rely on myself to figure it out bit by bit!
"There aren't any Yin Sha outside the mine, but this mine's interior is filled with Yin Sha!" Boss Lu, your people found this place. Do you understand what happened? " Cheng Yeshen asked, his expression solemn as he stared at Lu Yanzhao.
Lu Yanzhao shook his head, "I don't know what's going on either. This is the first time I've been here, and the ones who found out that there was someone older than me are also my subordinates!"
Her voice was calm, without the slightest fluctuation in tone. Her emotions were like the air in this mine tunnel, extremely calm and collected! Looking at Lu Yanzhao's back, Lin Bai always felt that this guy was a little unusual!
But right at this moment, a pitch-black baleful qi gushed out of the cave, gushing towards the crowd. At the same time, the mountain above the cave started to shake unceasingly!
