Liu Ming looked at the man on the ground. After a moment of silence, he took out an inch-long silver needle from his body. His arm turned into a blur and quickly pierced the man's body a few times. Then, with a flip of his hand, he condensed a ball of clear water and poured it over the man's head, trying to wake him up.
Just as he activated the Fa Li in his body to release the Waterball Technique, Liu Ming couldn't help but frown. His face became uncertain.
He could clearly feel that although it was only a small technique, it consumed a lot of Fa Li in his body. It was three to four times more than usual!
In this kind of situation, when he released the Fireball Technique earlier, he had already noticed that something was wrong.
"How could this be …"
As Liu Ming's thoughts turned quickly, he seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes with a serious expression.
Not long after he inhaled and exhaled, his face suddenly changed.
He discovered that the Spiritual Qi here was extremely thin. It was actually less than ten to twenty percent of the outside world.
Under the inexplicable suppression of this place, the amount of Spiritual Qi that he could absorb from the nearby void was even less.
This also meant that it was very difficult to replenish the Fa Li in his body by meditating. Perhaps, he could only use Spirit Stones, pills, and other external items to maintain the abundance of Fa Li in his body.
After such a test, Liu Ming finally understood why this man in front of him, who had a strong cultivation, ended up like this.
"Hehe, newcomer, don't think that you can still activate Fa Li and show off here. Hmph, if you know what's good for you, let me go. Otherwise … "
At this time, the skinny man who was slowly waking up let out a mocking laugh after seeing Liu Ming's action of absorbing Spiritual Qi. His tone was full of threat.
Hearing this, Liu Ming's expression changed and he opened his eyes. A hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes. Without saying anything, he raised one hand and pointed at the void on the skinny man's body.
As a cold light flashed from his finger and disappeared into the skinny man's body, the man couldn't help but show a trace of fear in his eyes.
"What are you trying to do?"
"Ah! Stop! "
Immediately, an indescribable itch spread all over his body and went deep into his bone marrow. It was like countless ants biting him, causing the Condensation State man to immediately roll on the ground and scream miserably.
Liu Ming looked at the scene coldly. He allowed it to struggle in pain, his face indifferent.
After half a cup of tea's time, the screams finally weakened. The man's body was curled up into a ball. His skin was torn and his body was covered in blood. His aura was extremely weak and he looked like he was on the verge of death.
At this moment, Liu Ming raised his arm again and pointed at the void above him.
The numbness and itchiness on the man's body immediately disappeared. As his expression relaxed, he suddenly heard Liu Ming's cold voice. He couldn't help but be startled. He looked at Liu Ming with eyes full of fear.
"Tell me everything you know about this place honestly. If you hide anything, I don't mind letting you have a taste of what you just experienced."
Liu Ming's voice was not loud, but after it reached the man's ears, it was like the voice of a devil from hell. His body trembled, and he almost subconsciously moved back a little. Then, he quickly began to narrate his story.
It turned out that this place was the largest deep-sea mineral vein in the deep sea under the jurisdiction of Siren King. There were many rare materials buried in the mineral vein that were very rare to the outside world.
At this moment, the place where Liu Ming was located was a huge mine formed by countless slave miners all year round.
This underground world had now reached a radius of a hundred miles, and it had become a world of its own.
The miners here were all cultivators of various races that Siren King and his subordinates caught from all over. Now the number of miners was about three or four hundred. Most of them were Condensation State cultivators like the skinny man, but there were also a very small number of Spirit Apostles among them.
When the man said this, Liu Ming was slightly stunned, and he suddenly asked,
"Spirit Apostles, can such slave miners also be used?"
"The reason why these Spirit Apostles can survive is either because they are talented or there are other powerhouses taking care of them. Otherwise, they can't survive the first month with this dangerous area." Seeing this, the skinny man quickly explained.
"Oh, is there anything special about this place?" Liu Ming asked seemingly casually.
"You are wise! For some reason, this area has very little natural aura, and it also exudes a strange energy that suppresses part of the cultivation of every cultivator who enters here. So even if a person with powerful spiritual power stays in the underground mine for a few months or half a year, his spiritual power will be exhausted. After that, if you want to absorb aura to replenish spiritual power, the efficiency is thousands of times more difficult than the outside world. "The skinny man finally said something that made Liu Ming vaguely guess.
"Don't those guards come down to check?" Liu Ming asked coldly after his eyes flashed.
"Those guards generally won't come down here, and they let us fend for ourselves here. Only a few days at the end of each month, they will appear at a fixed place to collect rare ores in exchange for antidote and some other things. " When the skinny man talked about the guards, he clenched his fists fiercely, and his face showed a look of anger.
Through the following dialogue, Liu Ming also learned that in the depths of this mine, it seemed to be connected to an unknown bottomless abyss. So every once in a while, there would be a monster called evil beast rushing out and devouring the slave miners.
This evil beast was not big, and its strength was mostly at the Condensation State, but it was extremely bloodthirsty and ferocious. It was very troublesome.
Therefore, whenever the evil beast appeared, everyone would join forces to kill it. Therefore, the spiritual power that was recovered with great difficulty would be exhausted to protect their lives.
As for the spiritual weapons on the cultivators, they could still be used when they first came here. However, once the magic power was exhausted, these spiritual weapons would only be regarded as relatively sharp weapons.
Some lower-grade spiritual weapons would gradually revert to ordinary iron because they couldn't replenish their aura for a long time, and they were eroded by the mysterious energy in the mine.
As a result, those small spiritual weapons couldn't play a big role. Instead, it was more practical for the cultivators to refine weapons from the bones of the evil beasts.
After saying this, the skinny man was silent with a very honest look.
"Is there anything else you forgot to say?" Liu Ming saw it. After hesitating, he suddenly said faintly.
"Mister must be joking. I have told you all the information about this place. There is absolutely no concealment." The skinny man hurriedly explained as he heard the words.
Liu Ming narrowed his eyes as he listened. He stretched out his finger and pointed at the man without hesitation.
All of a sudden, the pain of being bitten by ten thousand ants came again!
After the man screamed, he immediately curled up into a ball again. His hands kept tearing and scratching his skin, and he shouted in fear,
"Please spare my life, I'll say … I'll say everything!"
When Liu Ming heard this, the gesture in his hand changed and stopped again.
"Say it. If you still have something to hide, I won't stop so easily." Liu Ming said blankly.
The skinny man didn't dare to hesitate at all. He immediately told the hidden things,
"To be honest, in addition to the Condensation State cultivator in this mine, there is actually a Beastkin Clan powerhouse of the Crystallization Period, and he is the leader of a major force here."
"There is actually a Crystallization Period powerhouse here!" Liu Ming was really a little surprised when he heard this.
"However, although this person is a Crystallization Period powerhouse, his cultivation is also suppressed. His spiritual power is also constantly consumed until there is not much left. Now he is completely relying on his powerful physical body to become a leader in the mine." The skinny man hurriedly explained with a smile.
"Oh, I see …"
Liu Ming nodded, then he showed a hint of understanding, then he asked,
"Since this Crystallization Period powerhouse is only the leader of a force, then what other forces are there in this mine, and how are they divided?"
Seeing that Liu Ming's face eased slightly, the skinny man was relieved and replied with a smile,
"Replying to mister, there are only two major forces in the cave. One is led by the Beastkin Clan Crystallization Period powerhouse, and the other is led by a Condensation Period later stage powerhouse of the Bronze Gong Clan."
"A person of the Condensation Period later stage can actually compete with the powerhouse of the Crystallization Period. There must be something extraordinary about him?" Liu Ming said thoughtfully.
"Yes, sir. This person is actually a very rare Bronze Gong Clan. Although he is at the Condensation Period later stage, he is born with copper muscles and iron bones. His physical body is even slightly superior to the Crystallization Period Beastkin Clan powerhouse. In this place with thin spirit, he can naturally dominate the area with this. However, mister's physical body is also extremely powerful. As long as you are willing to show a little of your strength, there will definitely be a lot of people joining you. By then, it is not impossible for you to become the leader of the third major force here. " The skinny man grinned and said flatteringly, but he was already gritting his teeth in his heart. In a moment, he thought of many vicious ideas, preparing to retaliate against Liu Ming later.
In the following period of time, this person was interrogated bit by bit by Liu Ming about other important matters.
For example, although this underground mine was huge, there were very few edible things in it. In addition, it was extremely difficult for everyone to absorb the spirit of the outside world, let alone fasting for a long time. If they wanted to survive, they either had to kill the evil beasts and eat their flesh and blood, or rely on a large number of ores to directly exchange for food and spirit stones from the guards.
Although this deep sea mineral vein was rich in various mineral sources, after a long period of mining, the peripheral mining area had gradually become a little scarce. If the cultivators wanted to find enough ores, they could only continue to move deeper into the mineral vein. Of course, the possibility of encountering evil beasts there was naturally several times greater.
In the mine, the slave miners had different origins, and there were various races. In such a precarious situation, robbing each other of ores and food was a common occurrence. It happened everywhere in the cave every day.
When the fight started, the loser would be bruised all over with nothing, and the worst case scenario was that he even lost his life.
