Due to the strong bumps, some low-level cultivators couldn't sleep even if they wanted to. Their eyes were like panda eyes, and they looked haggard.
On the morning of the fourth day, the truck finally stopped at the entrance of the Tianyu Mine. Everyone got out of the truck. Except for a few high-level cultivators, the low-level ones were all squatting on the side of the road and vomiting. This was their routine every morning since they got on the truck.
"Stand up, all of you! Stop putting on an act and wasting my time. " Tang Qianqi jumped out of the commercial vehicle and rushed to the people squatting on the side of the road. He kicked their butts one by one and scolded, "Useless things! You've only been in the truck for a few days, and you've already vomited like this. You're all useless!"
Those people staggered from the kick and almost fell into the grass on the side of the road, but they did not dare to complain. They could only secretly glare at Tang Qianqi, then weakly stood up and lined up to wait for instructions.
Tang Qianqi glanced at the team and said loudly, "Well, now that we've arrived at the mine, I'll explain the rules to you. In fact, it's very simple. Everyone will enter this mine to collect spiritual jades for a month. You must collect at least ten pieces of spiritual jades, and then you can come out to gather. Do you understand?"
"Got ~ it ~" Xiao Chen dragged out his voice, pinching his nose as he replied in a strange tone.
"Pfft!" Many people couldn't help but snicker. They felt that Xiao Chen's teasing attitude was very satisfying.
They had been suppressed by Tang Qianqi for too long, and they especially hoped that someone could fight against him. It didn't matter even if it was a murderous demon like Xiao Chen.
"Brat … Don't be complacent. After you go in, you'll suffer!" Tang Qianqi was furious, but he couldn't do anything to Xiao Chen. He could only yell at the others bitterly, "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and go to the gate to get a month's worth of food and mining equipment. Then get in and start working immediately! "
Xiao Chen and the others received their items according to the instructions. In fact, it was just a backpack with some simple food like compressed biscuits, a few large bottles of mineral water, a pickaxe for mining, and an electronic device. There was nothing else.
The electronic device was also very simple. There was a red button on it. In an emergency, the user could press the button and send out a distress signal. It wouldn't be long before someone came to the place where the signal was sent to rescue them.
Although these fellows were treated as cannon fodder and no one cared about their lives, it was not easy to recruit them. One dead meant one less, so the three great clans would try their best to avoid unnecessary losses.
Tang Qianqi explained the use of the electronic equipment and gave a few more instructions before sending everyone in. He turned around and boarded the MPV, leaving the Tianyu Mine.
After walking into the mine, everyone dispersed. Xiao Chen stood in the same place and looked at the desolate scene around him. He felt a little strange. How did this look like a mine? Why wasn't there even a single person?
He had thought that there would be a lot of people mining nearby, but the situation was the complete opposite. The surroundings were desolate!
"Mu Sen, what's going on? Let alone the mine, we can't even see a shadow of a person. Is that brat Tang Qianqi playing with us? " Xiao Chen frowned and suddenly wanted to turn around and rush out to catch Tang Qianqi and teach him a lesson.
"That's right, this is indeed the Tianyu Mine." Jia Musen had been here a few times before, so he had some impression of it. He nodded, but his expression was a little unhappy.
"Then why …"
Jia Musen knew what Xiao Chen meant and explained bitterly, "The reason why there is no one is because our location is not the main mining area. This is the periphery of the Tianyu Mine. Not only is it dangerous, but the distribution of spiritual jades is also very sparse. The Jia family's mining team will not come here at all. Not only is it troublesome to mine, but it is also difficult to manage. The key is that the value is very low."
"Tsk tsk, it seems that our group has been treated as cannon fodder! That distress device is probably useless. I reckon that by the time someone comes to rescue us, we will already be dead. They will just collect our corpses and be done with it. " Xiao Chen suddenly realized that his father must be in the mining team. He continued to ask, "By the way, which direction is the main mining area?"
"Let me see … Oh, it's in that direction. I reckon it's about a few hundred kilometers away from us!" Jia Musen looked around and said, pointing to the east.
Xiao Chen nodded and strode to the east. Jia Musen and the others did not dare to be too far away from him. After all, his cultivation was the highest. Even if they encountered trouble, he would be able to respond immediately.
As for the other people, they had already gone off to mine the Spirit Jades. Although there were more than a hundred of them, they were scattered in the periphery of the mine. They were as inconspicuous as sand in a desert. No one paid any attention to where Xiao Chen and the others went.
"Xiao Chen, are we really going to mine? I thought you would take the opportunity to escape with us! I didn't expect you to really come in. "After walking for a while, Jia Musen could not help but ask in surprise.
On the way here, he was wondering when Xiao Chen was going to escape. In the end, Xiao Chen actually went straight into the mine and went in the direction of the main mining area.
"Actually, I have a reason to come in. I suspect that my father has been captured here, so I have to go to the main mining area and rescue him." Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. He turned his head and patted Jia Musen's shoulder, saying, "How about this, you and Mengying stay at the entrance and wait for me to come back. It's safer here. After I rescue my father, I will immediately meet up with you guys, and then we will find a way to escape."
"How can that be!" Jia Musen rejected, "If you want to go to the main mining area from here, there is no need to say more about the dangers in the middle. It is too difficult for you to walk alone! I will never let you go alone. How about this, I will go with you, and the girls will stay behind and wait! "
However, Jia Musen finally understood why Xiao Chen insisted on coming to the mine and why he wanted to go to the main mine at all costs.
"No way, no way! Sister Soursour doesn't want to stay in this godforsaken place. It is not safe at all. If you leave, Xiao Chen, what if Tang Qianling and Jia Huoyan come looking for trouble? Four-eyes can't beat them! "Tian Soursour also shook her head.
It was not easy for her to escape from the Jia Family. Naturally, she did not want to be captured again. If Xiao Chen left, she would lose her only support!
"Xiao Chen, I also don't agree with your decision. Although I know that you are doing this for our own good, since we are already here, let's not separate anymore. Let's continue walking together. Let's work hard to find Uncle Xiao and escape from this place!" Cheng Mengying held onto Xiao Chen's arm and said resolutely. Her resolute attitude was completely different from the spoiled and willful young miss of the past.
