Chapter 2 Calculations
Lu Ye suddenly grasped himself vigorously, and involuntarily followed along, holding back the pain in his chest. He asked, "Manager Yang, where are we going?"
"Stop nonsense!" Guanshi Yang said viciously, stepped out a few steps, and looked at the mine basket behind Lu Ye: "I lost it."
Lu Ye didn't dare to refuse, he unlocked the mine basket and threw it on the ground, but he didn't drop the mine pick, Steward just glanced at it, but didn't say anything.
Go inside, the light behind you is getting farther and farther.
The depths of the mine tunnels are very dim, and only torches every tens of feet provide a little light. Moreover, the channels in the whole vein are criss-crossed, and the terrain is extremely complicated. Not every mine tunnel has torch lighting. Shrouded in darkness, no one knows where those mine tunnels lead to.
So if you don’t follow the traces of the torch in mining here, you will easily lose your way.
Once the mortal mine slaves lose their way in such a place, the fate can be imagined.
In the mouths of the mine slaves, the mine tunnels illuminated by torches are the clear tunnels, and those that are shrouded in darkness all the year round are the secret tunnels.
There are often examples of torches burned out, clear roads become dark ones, and mine slaves lose their position and starve to death.
As Guanshi Yang went all the way, Lu Ye noticed a very strange thing, that is, Guanshi Yang would look back and look nervous from time to time.
As if there was some danger behind him.
Manager Yang looked like this, making him nervous.
"Lu Ye, have you mastered some secret way?" Manager Yang suddenly said.
"Yeah." Lu Ye nodded, denying that this was meaningless in front of Manager Yang. In fact, not only Lu Ye mastered a few secret passages, but also the powerful mine slaves in the mine. Everyone had a few secret passages in their hands.
Although Mingdao is safe, there are not many places where it can be mined. On the contrary, it is a crisis-ridden secret tunnel, and some good products can often be found.
It is with the help of these resource-rich secret passages that Lu Ye can harvest every day, otherwise he would have no extra contribution to redeem the Qi and Blood Pill.
This is also the reason Guanshi Yang took him with him after recognizing Lu Ye.
"Those secret roads that Guan Shi Yang is going to?" Lu Ye asked, and Guan Shi Yang suddenly asked about secret roads that made him guess.
Manager Yang said, "Take me to find the most hidden secret path."
"Okay!" Lu Ye nodded in response. After walking a few steps, he suddenly groaned and stretched out his hand to cover his chest.
The bones in his chest were shifted a bit. He walked swiftly along the road with Manager Yang and couldn't rest well. The injury was affected at this moment. The pain caused him to stop his figure, and sweat oozes from his forehead.
Manager Yang glanced at him dissatisfiedly, hesitated for a moment, reached out his hand into a cloth pouch around his waist, quickly grabbed a round, bean-sized pill, and handed it to Lu Ye: "Eat it!"
Lu Ye took it and couldn't recognize what kind of pill it was. He had only been in contact with the Qixue Pill this year, and the pill in his hand was obviously different from the Qixue Pill.
But at this time, Guan Shi Yang used his own place, he shouldn't cheat himself, this thing is most likely to be used for healing.
He stuffed the pill into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and his intestines were all blue in regret, because the medicine was terribly bitter.
"What do you do with chewing it? Just swallow it. This is a healing pill." Steward didn't have a good air.
Sure enough, it was an elixir for healing, Lu Ye worries a bitter melon face, and has to be grateful to Dade: "Thank you Yang Guan."
"I really want to thank me and leave." Steward pushed him.
Lu Ye had to cheer up and lead the way.
The pill was terribly bitter, but the effect was surprisingly good. After taking it for a while, Lu Ye felt a rush of heat in his lower abdomen, and immediately after the chest injury was not so painful, but it became soggy and itchy. .
This made him have to sigh with emotion, it is indeed a bitter medicine.
Under the leadership of Lu Ye, the two continued to move forward in the criss-crossing mine tunnels. Occasionally, they encountered some returning mine slaves. Steward raised his hand and killed them.
Lu Ye's eyelids throbbed, and the suspicion in his heart became clearer.
About an hour later, the two stopped in front of an underpass. Lu Ye already had an extra torch in his hand. He took this torch from nearby and said, "Manager Yang, this is the most concealed underpass. After you go in, Turn left at the first intersection, and at the second intersection..."
Before he finished speaking, Guan Shi Yang kicked him in: "Lead the way!"
Lu Ye's heart sank to the bottom. He didn't want to lead the way. Judging from the various actions of Manager Yang along the way, he really led him to the place, I am afraid there is no good end.
But the last attempt had failed, and Guan Shi Yang obviously didn't intend to go deep into the secret tunnels alone. It was better to have Lu Ye, a person familiar with the terrain, than to explore on his own.
Reluctantly, Lu Ye could only move on.
All the way around, even the cultivator Yang Guanshi couldn't remember the way back. After more than an hour, the mine tunnel in front of him had been blocked, and there was no way forward.
Lu Ye inserted the torch on a hidden stake on the rock wall.
Manager Yang sighed, sat on the ground and gasped, turned his head and glanced at Lu Ye, couldn't help but smile and said, "You really have the ability. You can find this kind of place."
Lu Ye smiled: "Good luck."
Guanshi Yang nodded and said no more.
Lu Ye said, "Manager Yang, then I'll go back first."
Guanshi Yang raised his eyelids slightly and said lightly: "Lu Ye, you are a smart person, so smart people should do smart things."
While talking, he stood up and wandered towards Lu Yexing. The swaying fire light imprinted his shadow like a ghostly dance.
Lu Ye's face was panicked: "What do you mean?"
Guan Shi Yang sighed: "Why do I tell you clearly, the people of Haotian League are here, and this vein may not be kept for the time being. I came to avoid disasters. Although I am very grateful for you to bring me here, I I can't let you go back."
Lu Ye stepped back step by step, as it was true in his heart. Before he saw Guanshi Yang killing the mine slaves, he had a vague guess. For fear that the news of entering the mine tunnel would be leaked, Guanshi Yang naturally wanted to kill everyone who saw him. .
The reason why he was pleasantly surprised when he saw Lu Ye at the exit of the mine was because he knew that Lu Ye could take him to find a hidden place to hide.
Hiding in this kind of place, even if the people of the Haotian League captured the mineral vein, they would not be able to find him easily, and there was a high probability that they would be able to escape.
It is precisely because he is aware of his situation that Lu Ye always wants to get away, but Guan Yang doesn't let go, where did he leave?
"Then I will stay with you, I won't go." Lu Ye pressed his back against the rock wall, unable to retreat.
Manager Yang paused and seemed to think about it seriously, but quickly shook his head and said, "I don’t take much food, and I don’t know how long I have to hide here. Although the Haotian League cannot stay here for a long time, one or two Months are always there. For such a long time, you are starving to death. Where can you stay with me. So as a thank you, I will send you a ride!"
The distance between the two was only three feet. When the conversation fell, Guan Shi Yang patted Lu Ye with a palm.
Although his cultivation base is not high, it is really easy to kill Lu Ye, a common man.
But he never expected that at the moment he started, Lu Ye rushed towards his head with the mining pick.
Lu Ye's fierceness and decisiveness surprised Guan Yang, but that was all...
However, what happened immediately afterwards caused him to die.
He suddenly found that the spiritual power in his spiritual aperture was operating obscure, as if there was an inexplicable force confining the spiritual power, which could only mobilize a trivial trace.
The mine pick came head-on, and Manager Yang wanted to retreat too late, so he could only block the palm of Xiang Lu Ye in front of him.
With a crisp sound, the mine pick hit Manager Yang's arm and discounted his arm.
Steward couldn't help screaming and backed away again and again.
With a successful blow, Lu Ye's heart was immediately let go. It seems that some of the rumors he heard before are true, and there is still a way to survive.
He won the power and did not forgive, pressing every step of the way, with the mining pick in his hand constantly turning down, but Guan Yang who hit him had little strength to fight back.
Guanshi Yang is a monk in Xieyue Valley, but his cultivation level is not high, so he will be assigned to the idle position of managing mineral veins. In this life, he rarely fights hard and viciously against mine slaves. Rubbing round, but after his cultivation base was greatly suppressed, he was more limited than ordinary mortals, and when he encountered a cruel and cruel man like Lu Ye, he was immediately beaten and dizzy.
While avoiding Lu Ye's fierce attack, he put his hand into the cloth bag on his waist, and then raised his hand, a cold light flashed.
Lu Ye was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped his figure and set a pick to block it.
The cold light cut at the front end of the mine pick, and the mine pick made of fine iron was cut in half.
Lu Ye fixed his eyes and looked into Manager Yang's hands, and found that he had already grasped a long sword at some point! He took it out of his waist cloth pouch.
Guanshi Yang swung the sword in his hand fiercely, and the deterred Lu Ye didn't dare to step forward at will.
The situation was deadlocked. At the deepest part of the mine tunnel, the mortal body and the monk faced each other. The face of the former was cold and determined, and the face of the latter was embarrassed. The intense pain made his expression distorted.
"Essential magnetic field?" Manager Yang gritted his teeth and drank. After a short time, he had already figured out why his spiritual power was imprisoned.
There is actually a lot of magnetite ore here!
Magnetite is a very rare mineral. In terms of its preciousness, the value of Magnetite is second to none in this vein. This kind of ore is of great use to some monks.
However, Metamagnetite has a characteristic, that is, it releases an invisible and invisible force field, which restricts the circulation of all spiritual power within the range.
Once the monk is in this field of force, his strength will be greatly reduced.
Guanshi Yang's cultivation is limited, and surrounded by this elemental magnetic field, his spiritual power is almost completely forbidden, and he has been reduced from a high monk to an ordinary mortal.
He suddenly remembered that in the past year, Lu Ye did occasionally mine some metamagnetic ore, but other people also mine it, but the number is not large, so he did not care too much. After all, there are various kinds of minerals in this vein. Of minerals.
But now it seems that Lu Ye has always held the location of a large number of metamagnetic mines, but he did not mine it to redeem contributions. He only mines a few pieces occasionally to avoid being coveted. It is really deep in his mind.
"Are you calculating me?" Manager Yang was going crazy. By this time, he still didn't understand that Lu Ye had brought him here on purpose.
A mortal who thought he could kill him was showing his fangs. Guan Yang was so angry that he was smashed and injured in many places. In this environment where he couldn't develop his own cultivation skills, he was really not Lu Ye. Opponent.
So he made a decisive decision, turned and ran.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ye felt bad.
He only had a little knowledge of the elemental magnetic field. When he handed over the elemental magnetic field for the first time, he had heard the monks in Xieyue Valley talk about the characteristics of this ore, so he kept his mind.
When he saw the mine slaves encountered by Guanshi Yang in the midway, he knew that the crime was too good, so he brought Guanshi Yang here. Before he broke Guanshi Yang’s arm, he was not sure where he was. Can the metamagnetic field limit Steward Yang's strength?
Fortunately, Ji people have their own celestial phases, and the Yuan Magnetic Field really made Guan Yang be at a loss.
But the range covered by the elemental magnetic force field is also limited. Once Guanshi Yang escapes the range of the force field, he will be dead.
Don't let Guan Shi Yang escape!
Lu Ye was ruthless, bent down and picked up a fist-sized stone, and threw it at Steward Yang.
Manager Yang, who ran away in embarrassment, thought of Lu Ye's insidious trick. He was hit in the back of the head and staggered to the ground.
Before he got up, the whistling wind sounded into his ears, Steward hurriedly turned over, seeing Lu Ye rushing forward, picking up half of the mining pick in his hand.
There is no way to avoid it now!
Between life and death, Guan Shi Yang yelled: "Let's die together!"
The long sword in his hand slammed out!
The next moment, his head was smashed by the mine pick, Lu Yeyou was worried, and smashed it a few times, looking at the twitching figure in front of him, and then he was sure that the other party could not survive.
Severe pain came from his thigh. He looked down and saw a long sword stuck in his leg. It was the one in Manager Yang's hand.
I don't know when I was stabbed!He didn't feel it just now.
Leaving the mine pick in his hand, Lu Ye sat on the ground, breathing heavily, feeling the beauty of life.
