Stepping out of the cave, time is running out. We must rush to the Zijin mine before the secret team sent by the Tian Family and the Wan Family.
If you arrive late and the mine is occupied, or cause the earth's crust to collapse, it will be a fatal blow to the Xu family.
Using Seven Star Steps and Lightning Meteors, the journey of more than a day was compressed into half a day, and he finally appeared at the Zijin Mine Camp before dark.
The Xu family has a hundred guards stationed here and two Innate realm masters. Coupled with the Xu family's status, they have been living in peace and harmony these years.
The camp is very large. In addition to the guards, there are hundreds of miners working day and night to dig ore and transport it out from here. Every three days, the Xu family's motorcade comes in, as it does every day for decades.
There was a faint smoke in the camp, and the sky gradually darkened. Hundreds of miners came out of the underground mines one after another, dragging their tired bodies back to the camp to rest.
The Xu family treats miners very generously. Many people in Canglan City are willing to work in the Xu family's mines and receive high rewards. There is basically no shortage of people.
The camp is built on the mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides. It has only one entrance, a wooden fence and a high post. Anyone who comes can see it immediately. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The entrance to the mine, on the west side of the camp, is guarded by ten guards who patrol day and night to avoid theft and are strictly disciplined.
Verdantius Liu stood outside the fence, looking at the peaceful mining camp, and breathed a sigh of relief. The elite teams sent by the two families should not have arrived yet.
A straight road goes straight to the depths of the mine, leaving two deep ravines.
At this time!
On the straight road, walking a thin figure, wearing a blue robe, handsome appearance, two sword eyebrows slightly raised, like a sharp sword drawn from the sky, pointing towards the sky.
Taking his time, he drank some tea and stood in front of the gate of the Xu family camp.
"Anyone who comes, please stop. This is a forbidden area and is not open to the public. Please leave quickly."
A cold shout came from the top of the post, and several guards emerged from the darkness, holding long bows and aiming at Verdantius Liu. They took a step forward and killed without mercy.
"Servant Gan, can't you even recognize me?"
Verdantius Liu stopped and looked above the outpost. The guards of the Xu family had a three-month shift, and after the mines had a three-month shift, they returned to Canglan City, alternating back and forth.
These guards present were not strangers and could be recognized at a glance.
"Uncle? What is he doing here?"
Guard Gan showed a hint of doubt. They were transferred here two months ago. They didn't know what happened in Canglan City. They stayed there two months ago. Verdantius Liu was a loser in their eyes.
"This waste actually came to the mine. How did he get here?"
The guard holding the long bow put down the bow and arrow in his hand and made a sound of contempt. The sound was not loud, but it could be heard in Verdantius Liu ears. He did not care, and always had a faint smile on his lips.
"I guess I got tired of staying in Canglan City and ran out to try new things. I really thought that anyone could come in from the Sunset Mountains. I guess it was escorted here by the family guards."
No one believed that Verdantius Liu walked through the Sunset Mountains alone and arrived here. After the accompanying guards arrived, he turned around and left.
"What is this waste doing here? Could it be that the head of the family wants him to get familiar with the mineral veins."
Verdantius Liu saw everyone's expressions and did not show any signs of anger. His character had been tempered for a long time. How could he become so angry just because of a few words? Besides, there was no need for him to be as knowledgeable as a group of guards.
The fence slowly opened, and Verdantius Liu walked into the camp amid many doubtful and mocking smiles.
Upon learning that Verdantius Liu was coming, the two Innate realm experts who were guarding this place appeared one after another.
"Meet Deacon Hu, second uncle!"
Deacon Hu is in his thirties and has a third level of Innate realm. He is a middle-aged man who calls his second uncle. He has a resolute face and looks very similar to Silvianus Xu. He is Silvianus Xu's younger brother Xu Yishan and Valerrie Xu's second uncle. When he was a child, Verdantius Liu always called him "Xu Yishan". Second uncle's title.
After marrying Valerrie Xu, I should change my name to my second father-in-law. I am already used to it and am too lazy to change my name.
Xu Yishan looked evil and hated Verdantius Liu very much. He often persuaded his eldest brother to cancel the marriage, but the eldest brother insisted on having his own way and finally let Verdantius Liu and Valerrie Xu get married.
On the wedding day, Xu Yishan did not return to Canglan City and was very dissatisfied with the marriage.
Most of the mines are managed by Xu Yishan, and Silvianus Xu rarely participates. He is in the peak Innate realm, so it is appropriate to guard this place.
Xu Yishan was busy managing the mines and was not married. He had already treated Valerrie Xu as his own daughter. You can imagine how he felt when he watched Lingxue marry a loser.
"What are you doing here!"
Deacon Hu didn't say anything. He was an outsider after all, and he still had to respect Verdantius Liu. Xu Yishan asked coldly.
"I have received news that the Tian Family and Wan Family have sent elite teams to annex our Xu family's mines. I am here to inform everyone and take precautions."
Verdantius Liu was not angry. He bowed slightly and told what he knew. It was not yet clear how many people the other party had sent to come. To take precautions, there were only advantages and no disadvantages.
"Did brother tell you this news, or did you make it up yourself."
Of course Xu Yishan didn't believe it. His eldest brother's flying pigeon letter mentioned that the transport team was attacked, but did not mention that the two families wanted to attack the mine. He thought Verdantius Liu was talking nonsense.
"My father-in-law doesn't know about this yet. It's too late to inform him. I'll rush over first to inform everyone."
Willorus Song told him that the Tian Family and the Wan Family were going to be detrimental to the mine. After all, the news had not been confirmed. Verdantius Liu couldn't make random guesses. He got the exact information from Tian Huixi and hurried over.
"It's just your words. Are you kidding? Go back to where you came from. This is not the place you should be."
Xu Yishan sneered with a look of disdain on his face. He had no good impressions of this waste at all. Ever since he was a child, he had caused so many troubles and it was his eldest brother who wiped his ass and still had the nerve to stay in the Xu family.
"Second uncle, I respect you as an elder. I have given you the respect that a younger generation deserves. The news is absolutely true. You can decide for yourself whether you believe it or not."
Verdantius Liu tossed his sleeves and was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. He walked towards the depths of the camp. No one stopped him. It was already dark. It was very dangerous to go to the Sunset Mountains alone. He could only wait for the team to transport the goods in three days. , take him back to Canglan City.
The guards on the road cast disdainful looks and made various taunts, but Verdantius Liu turned a deaf ear and walked around the camp. It was already evening.
"Uncle, I have arranged a room for you. Go to bed early."
Very reluctantly, he still arranged a place for Verdantius Liu to stay, and opened a small room alone. The area was not large, only seven or eight square meters. The area of the mine camp seemed to be large, and the living environment was very harsh. Ten people could live in it for ordinary miners. A house.
"Good work!"
The entire camp environment was imprinted in my mind, so I returned to the house and started to tidy up.
"Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is built on the mountains. If we can set up a mountain guarding formation, even if a master comes and cannot break into the formation, what formation should be set up?"
Verdantius Liu murmured to himself that it would take several days to set up the formation, but it was already too late now. Some materials were still missing and needed to be purchased from Canglan City. It would take one day after Fei Ge sent the message to his father-in-law to receive the news, and it would still take a while to deliver it. Some days.
A formation that is too powerful requires terrifying resources, and the materials may not be available.
A formation that is too weak will not have any effect. The formation must be powerful, save resources, and have both defense and attack capabilities. This is really difficult for him.
It will take some time to search from memory to find several powerful formations and combine them to create new formations.
"The choice is yours. The name is Jingtao Tuyuan Formation! It combines the essence of the two formations of Storming Waves and Earth Destruction. It does not require a lot of resources. With the help of the natural geographical environment of this place, it is not difficult to set up."
It took more than an hour to combine a new formation. Considering the surrounding terrain, this formation was the most suitable.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and a large number of guards are patrolling the camp, with open posts and hidden sentries everywhere.
"I heard that the good-for-nothing uncle was beaten out by the young lady on his wedding night and went to visit a brothel. His bestiality became so strong that the entire brothel collapsed and he was almost crushed to death."
Three patrolling guards happened to be walking not far in front of Verdantius Liu door. As they walked and talked, harsh taunts came in.
"This piece of trash has such a big life, he won't even die like that."
The tone was full of sarcasm, Verdantius Liu was so unbearable in the eyes of the Xu family guards.
"Young lady, such a beautiful person, I'm so blinded by this loser. With my young lady's talent, she will enter the Imperial College. From then on, she will rise to the top. The status of the Xu family will skyrocket. We, the guards, will have great potential in the future." Opportunities to get ahead.”
The sound became weaker and weaker. As he walked past Verdantius Liu door, the night returned to calm.
A large group of people approached quietly from a distance and stopped a hundred meters away from the mine camp.
"Head, this is the land of the Xu family's mineral veins. There is only one entrance. How are we going to get in?"
There are more than a hundred people, and they still have the aura of the Spirit Cleansing Realm. The Xu family mine is in danger.
Lying in the grass, the patrolling guards of the Xu family could not find him here. It was a moonless night again, and there would occasionally be some light coming out of the camp.
Deep in the camp, there was a lot of snoring. The miners had a busy day and went to bed early after eating.
"Go find the leaders of the Tian Family and the Wan Family, and let's discuss countermeasures."
The leader gave instructions, and a man in black walked back quickly, and soon brought over two old men, the Tian Family and the Wan family elders, who were at the peak of the Innate realm. This time, in order to win the Xu family's mine, the two families spent a lot of money.
"Captain Langya, are you looking for us?"
Tian Qihong asked in a low voice, if outsiders were present and heard the word "wolf fang", they would be so scared that they would wet their pants.
In addition to the four major families in Canglan City, there is another force, and that is the Langya Mercenary Group. They do all kinds of business, murder and arson, and do everything possible.
As long as you are willing to pay the gold coins, they will do the shady things for you.
Even more terrifying is Lang Ya. I heard that he lived with a group of wild wolves since he was a child and grew up drinking wolf milk. He is ferocious and cruel and likes to drink human blood. Under normal circumstances, they are unwilling to provoke the four major families and everyone is safe. thing.
Most of the time, they traveled through the Sunset Mountains, hunting monsters and selling them to earn gold coins, or helping transport caravans and getting a lot of rewards.
At its peak, the mercenary group expanded to three hundred people, and Langya himself had reached the fifth level of the Spirit Cleansing Realm.
