After leaving the white town and passing through a desolate land, Su Xiao arrived at the Lost Withered Forest, still using the old method of making talisman stones to open the way.
Walking in the lost withered forest, Su Xiao was shirtless, wearing a white golden mask and holding a [Sin Falling Heaven Relic]. He was dressed like this last time when he went to see the Paradise Team, and of course he would not change this time.
According to the location of the tracking mark, Su Xiao quickly left the lost withered forest and went straight to the area where the prince's team was. Bubo Wang beside him blended into the environment, and Baha entered a different space.
To Su Xiao's surprise, Bubouwang searched for more than an hour but couldn't find the mine of the Paradise Team. They learned a lesson there.
"Bubu."
"Woof."
Bubo Wang used his 'bloodline ability' and started digging holes on the ground. There was indeed no mine on the ground, and Su Xiao didn't believe there were none underground either.
At the same time, 3195 meters underground.
It is still nearly a thousand square meters of underground space, there is still azure-colored 'liquid substance' clinging to the surrounding rock formations, and there are still small machines flying at low altitude to detect air pressure, air quality, etc.
Except for the sound of machines running and the crunching sound of excavation, no one spoke in the underground space.
The prince stood the alloy ore shovel in his hand on the ground and turned his eyes to the man dozens of meters away. This was his newly hired combat contractor named Hegini. They had a good conversation when they didn't meet. He earned 300 soul coins every day.
, but after meeting, the other party suddenly increased the price, without any reason, and did not bother to make up a reason.
There are 400 soul coins every day. Either the prince pays for it or Hegini signs a confidentiality contract and leaves. You can choose one of the two.
This sudden price increase made the prince feel dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it. Bodyguards were not that easy to find, and they had just been robbed. The prince and the other four could only admit it with gritted teeth.
After Hegini arrived, the prince began to move and arrived at the location of the No. 2 ore vein. He had already set his sights on this place and was just waiting to finish digging the No. 1 ore vein before returning. The No. 1 ore vein was too dangerous at the moment, so he could only go to the No. 2 ore vein.
After the experience of being robbed last time, the prince was extra cautious, but he soon discovered another problem, that is, Hegini also carried a mining shovel.
What surprised the prince even more was that the other party actually wanted to join the gang. Hearing the other party say this, the prince almost spat out blood. They paid 400 soul coins every day, and then they had to share one-fifth of the minerals they received?
The mining efficiency of miners and combat contractors is not the same concept at all.
In Hegini's words, this is called bundled employment, which not only protects their safety, but also helps them increase their output. Thinking of this, the prince sighed inwardly.
"Brother, why don't you take a break first?"
The prince tentatively spoke, waving the mineral's energy clone up and down and ignoring him. The prince was even more speechless. Hegini himself was from the legal system, so he did not mine the mine himself, but let the energy clone take over.
Da, da, da~
The sound of footsteps came. It was someone walking on the hardened liquid on the ground. Hearing the footsteps, the prince suddenly shuddered.
"Could it be..."
The prince turned around and saw a shirtless man wearing a white metal mask.
"You're still here."
The prince raised his hand, combed his wet blond hair back, and came with a hairspray hand. This time, the bodyguard he hired was from the legal system, which was not comparable to pure gold. Although this legal system was greedy, there was no doubt about its strength.
A man wearing a golden-blue robe and long hair stood up from the alloy box. He was Hegini.
"Prince, is he the one who took away your ore?"
As Hegini spoke, an aura clone appeared around him.
"It's him, do it!"
The prince shouted lowly, but unfortunately, Hegini did not take action immediately, but continued to form more Qi clones.
"Repel him for free, kill him, 3000 soul coins."
The corner of Hegini's mouth curled up, ready to take a slap from the prince. At this moment, space fluctuations appeared, and Su Xiao was already several meters in front of Hegini.
With a snap, Hegini snapped his fingers, and all the surrounding Qi clones exploded. The prince and the other four people only felt the impact coming from the front. They all hit the mineral veins at the back, and their organs were overturned, followed by numbness.
.
The water mist spread in the underground space, and the prince felt that powerful water-based magic energy was gathering in front, and roars came in front of him, and the surrounding earth shook.
"This bodyguard was not hired in vain."
The prince felt extremely happy in his heart. He once again experienced how powerful the magic system was. In the water mist in front, there were only water-like magic energy fluctuations. The enemy was obviously being suppressed and beaten. Although the prince was not a combat system, who was stronger or weaker?
He can still tell.
In the mist, Hegini's robe moved without any wind, and the staff in his hand pointed forward.
‘Flow rush·pressure.’
With a crash, the water surged forward from around Hegini and headed straight for Su Xiao. The strong water pressure acted on his whole body, and the energy of the Qinggang Shadow surged on his body. He relied on the Qinggang Shadow's magical destructive characteristics, and
With his strong body, he withstood the water pressure and strode forward to attack.
With the devilish physique + crystal layer defense + Su Xiao's own strong survivability, he resisted Hegini's attack head-on, and his health dropped by 1.62%. It must be said that the power of the eighth-level magic system is still very good.
Seeing that Su Xiao was rushing towards him without hesitation, Hegini transformed into a legal fort.
'Aquatic realm.'
‘Drown and suffocate.’
'The roar of the air dragon.'
'Poseidon is angry!'
Hegini's expression was almost distorted. Although he was not a magician, he could still do it by temporarily transforming into a legal fort.
Various water-type attacks came from in front of Su Xiao, splashing water, but he did not stop. After entering the space penetration state, he suddenly rushed to the front of Hegini and smashed the opponent's head with a stick.
Compared to Hegini's various powerful attacks, Su Xiao's stick was particularly simple and crude.
Just as the prince was waiting for Hegini to step out of the mist, he suddenly heard a scream of "oh", followed by a thumping sound.
This sound, like the sound of a nightmare, reminded the prince of the scene when Su Xiao smashed the red gold stick with a long stick.
Bang!
It was as if glass was broken, and after the last miserable howl came, the water mist in the underground space gradually faded away.
The prince, Belle, Lao Yu, and the black-faced man stood on the mineral vein and stared straight ahead. They had already guessed the general result.
The water mist dissipated, and blue water droplets dripped down the long stick. The ground and walls were splashed with this blue liquid. Hegini used an immortal-level life-saving tool to escape. As a price, his head was almost destroyed.
It was smashed, both arms were broken, and the ribs were not intact. Of course, this was when Su Xiao didn't use a knife, otherwise it would have killed Hegini several times.
"Wait, I have something to say."
The prince raised his hand and shouted. Hearing this shout, Su Xiao stopped.
"Brother, I know what you are going to do. The ore will be taken out immediately. There is no need to repeat the process last time. We are all acquaintances..."
Before the prince finished speaking, a long white stick came at him.
After a while, the prince, Belle, Lao Yu, and the black-faced man were all squatting on the ground, their noses and faces were bruised and swollen.
The four of them took out an alloy box and put pieces of ore into it. They were already somewhat skilled.
"Brother, you are so patient. I have sealed the mines hundreds of meters below the surface, but you can still dig in."
The prince is not too nervous. He only takes the ore, which is acceptable to him. It would be better if he can avoid being beaten.
"..."
Su Xiao said nothing, put away the alloy box containing the light silver ore, turned around and left, just grab the ore, there is no need to waste time, killing the miners is not a wise choice before fighting for the power of time and space.
"etc."
The prince suddenly spoke.
"..."
"It's like this, brother, there are two veins of light silver mine here. Although a lot has been mined, there is still a lot left. Why don't we cooperate?"
Old Yu's face was filled with cold sweat when he heard the prince's words. He suspected that the prince had been knocked unconscious.
"I don't have time to protect you."
"We don't need your protection. From the time we came here to mine the mineral veins until now, you are the only one who comes...to patronize us. From now on, each of us will share 50%?"
"Can."
"Then sign a contract?"
The prince's tone was a little excited. He had discovered that this area was very secretive. Except for Su Xiao who came to rob it, no one else came. As for Hegini who was running away, he had a contract and the other party did not dare to mess around.
"Sign the contract?"
"Yes, sign the contract."
The prince's attitude was extremely positive.
"Are you...sure?"
"Of course I'm sure, it's just a contract, what's the big deal."
At the prince's insistence, Su Xiao drew up a physical contract.
The four princes were very cautious, perhaps because they had heard some rumors. They began to carefully examine the parchment contract handed over by Su Xiao, using magnifying glasses.
In fact, this magnifying glass is useless. Modifying the font size or pattern of the contract is a pre-sixth-level method.
The contract parchment signed by the prince now can be revealed in many layers. The first to fourth layers are all the same normal contracts, and this contract parchment has a total of 5 layers.
Chapter completed!
