Of course, once Bone Scorpion cast a spell here, it was also difficult to directly restore spiritual power by replenishing the aura of heaven and earth.
Fortunately, it was a ghost creature. If it absorbed some yin qi, it could slowly transform it into pure spiritual power, which was better than its current situation.
With this Bone Scorpion guard, he didn't have to worry about anything, and he could mine ores with all his strength.
As for the Demon Flying Skull that had reached the intermediate stage of the Condensation State, he was naturally prepared to use it as a trump card. He would not easily reveal it in front of others.
What made Liu Ming feel quite regretful was that the two iron ape puppet beasts that were originally used for body forging were also taken away by the previous guards in the storage amulet. Otherwise, they could be considered as two good miners when they wielded the vajra iron rod with special strength.
Of course, correspondingly, he also had to spend a lot of spirit stones. The pros and cons were not easy to measure.
However, with his powerful physical body that was not inferior to the powerhouse of the Crystallization Period, the mining speed was also very amazing under the full situation, but the physical consumption was also quite high.
However, in the case of being unable to channel spiritual power, the bone shovel made of the evil beast's bone was far more useful than the inferior grade iron sword spiritual weapon. Every time it hit the stone wall, it could bring down a large piece of stone soil.
Although this place was away from the main mineral vein, and the ores were relatively scarce, with Liu Ming's amazing speed, he could still find one or two light blue rare ores every once in a while.
This kind of rare ore called the "Water Mysterious Stone", after being refined, was not only an exceptional water attribute material for refining weapons, but it also had a pretty good effect when used to refine water attribute elixirs. If it was placed in the outside world, perhaps every small piece could easily be sold for a high price of hundreds of spirit stones. However, in this place, it could not be considered as the top rare ore, but it was barely enough to report.
Of course, if this stone was taken to the exchange area, it could only be exchanged for some evil beast flesh.
After the blue ore was dug out by Liu Ming, he was directly thrown on the ground behind him as if he didn't want to look at it anymore.
… …
In this way, time passed day by day. Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, in addition to releasing Bone Scorpion to mine some ores every once in a while, Liu Ming did nothing else but meditate to heal his wounds and restore his physical strength.
As a result, after more than ten days, he had accumulated more than a hundred ores in his hands. Of course, most of them were Water Mystic Stones.
But even so, if other slave miners knew about it, they would be tongue-tied.
Otherwise, if it was an ordinary Condensation Period cultivator, in such a resource-poor mine, even if he desperately collected day and night, he would be considered lucky if he could find one-fifth of this amount.
According to the rules here, a slave miner was required to hand over 30 rare ores every month in exchange for the antidote of the month. As for the other extra ores, they could be directly exchanged with the guards for some medicinal pills, talismans, and even some low-grade spiritual weapons.
However, the price of these ores was naturally a hundred times lower than that of the outside world.
As for exchanging it with other slave miners in the exchange area, he could also exchange some other kinds of ores he needed, as well as evil beast flesh and bones.
On this day, Liu Ming woke up from meditation. The complexion on his face was obviously much better than when he first came here. The injuries left by activating Tai Gang Sword Embryo had recovered a lot.
When he casually looked inside his body, he suddenly found that the black gas attached to his internal organs seemed to be a bit thicker than before, and the bloody light cluster in the sea of consciousness was still slowly rotating.
As his expression changed slightly, he found that there should be only a few days left before the end of the moon.
According to the information he had previously obtained, if he was not wrong, it should be the day when the guards came in to collect the ore of slave miners in two or three days.
Since he couldn't get rid of the enchantment in his body for a while, he naturally had to exchange for an antidote first.
Of course, in his heart, he still had the intention of studying it after getting the antidote.
Therefore, he divided the scattered ores behind the cave. He piled most of the better quality ores together. After putting them in a leather bag, he went out of the cave and found a place where the abandoned rocks were originally piled up to bury them.
He returned to the cave again, took out another worn leather bag from his body, and put more than thirty water mystic stones into it. At the same time, he waved at Bone Scorpion at the entrance of the cave.
With a bang, the ghostly creature transformed into a ball of black Qi and disappeared into his sleeve.
Only then did Liu Ming put the leather bag on his back. He swaggered out of the cave and walked toward the exit of the tunnel.
Perhaps it was because it was near the end of the moon, shortly after Liu Ming left the tunnel, he began to encounter some scattered slave miners in a single line. Without exception, they were carrying a bag and rushing back.
In the case of the lack of natural aura here, even if there was a storage amulet, it would gradually lose its effect. It couldn't store some things for a long time at all. Therefore, the slave miners here could only use leather bags to carry the mined ores like Liu Ming.
When these people saw Liu Ming, there would be a hint of vigilance on their pale and numb faces. They would either speed up their pace and move forward, or they would simply change to another path to avoid him.
Facing these people's cautious foster children, Liu Ming smiled faintly, and he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to provoke them.
One day later.
Just as Liu Ming turned a few corners and came to a long and narrow passage, his pupils suddenly shrank and he stopped.
Because he found that just at a relatively wide intersection not far in front of him, there were two waves of slave miners confronting each other with hostility.
At the moment when Liu Ming appeared near the intersection, the two waves of people also immediately discovered his whereabouts. "Shua", they all looked at him very fiercely.
Liu Ming was startled, and he immediately stopped without changing his expression. He also looked at these slave miners.
One of the groups only had two men and one woman, three humans, while the other group had five men, all of whom were cultivators of the Sea Clan.
Judging from the breath of these people, except for the woman and a Sea Creature Clan old man who were at the intermediate stage of the Condensation State, the others were only at the early stage of the Condensation State.
These two groups obviously just met, and they seemed to know each other. After taking back their eyes from Liu Ming, they were still in a stalemate. They didn't want to leave.
"Fairy Qingqi, I don't want to embarrass you. As long as the three of you leave half of the ores in the bag to me, you can leave safely." The leader, a Sea Creature Clan old man with a sinister face, said to the beautiful human woman with a sneer.
"Wei Fandu, don't think that I don't know. Aren't you the Boss Sha who joined you a few days ago? Look at what this is. " The human woman named "Qingqi" sneered. She suddenly raised one hand, and a black-red thing vaguely appeared in her hand.
"What, you …" After the Sea Creature Clan old man saw the thing in the woman's hand, he blurted out. His face suddenly changed a few times, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Hmph, hurry up and get out of the way. My time is limited. I don't have time to waste here." As Qingqi said, she glanced at Liu Ming intentionally or unintentionally, and she said impatiently.
Liu Ming stood where he was without moving, his eyes flashing as if he was thinking about something.
After the Sea Creature Clan old man hesitated for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and left, but the direction he walked in was Liu Ming's direction.
The four slave miners behind him winked, and they immediately followed.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, quickly hand over the bag and the bone blade on your back. Our Brother Wei might be in a good mood and let you live." As soon as they walked near Liu Ming, a man with a crimson scar on his face shouted at Liu Ming with a grin as he walked.
Liu Ming didn't speak. He just looked at the four people approaching him blankly.
Seeing that Liu Ming ignored him, the man couldn't help but be furious. He suddenly pulled out the bone blade on his waist and leaped out. He actually jumped more than thirty meters away. As his arm moved again, a blade shadow slashed straight at the opposite side.
Liu Ming's eyes suddenly condensed. The joints of his whole body made a "pa pa" sound, and he punched upward with one hand like lightning.
"Bang", the bone blade immediately flew into the sky, and it was inserted into the stone wall of the tunnel in a flash.
The lanky man let out a blood-curdling screech, and his whole body turned into a black shadow as he flew backwards.
But at this moment, Liu Ming suddenly stomped on the ground with one foot. His figure turned into a gust of wind and overtook the man's flying body. He came to the front of the four people first. His two arms were blurred, and they immediately turned into a rainstorm of fist shadows.
The three Sea Creature Clan slave miners were taken aback. Before they could make any defensive posture, they were hit by the fist shadows at the same time. They only felt pain all over their body, and they were dizzy. They turned over and fell to the ground without making a sound.
The leading Sea Creature Clan old man moved fast enough. After being shocked, he almost subconsciously made a gesture with one hand. A light blue light curtain instantly appeared on the surface of his body, blocking the dense fist shadows in front of him.
But after a while, a crack appeared on the blue light curtain with a crisp sound.
The Sea Creature Clan old man exclaimed. He immediately turned around with a pale face, and he was about to escape desperately.
But after the light curtain on his body made a crisp sound, a strong wind came from the back of his head. He felt a chill on his neck, then he turned over and fell to the ground.
It was Liu Ming who instantly pulled out the bone blade from his waist. After a lightning-fast wave, he knocked him out with the back of the blade.
At this time, the man with a scar face who was knocked away fell heavily to the ground, but his limbs were weak. He couldn't stand up at all. He could only look at everything in front of him dumbfoundedly with a look of disbelief.
Liu Ming turned around again at this time. After glancing at the scarred man coldly, he suddenly flickered and appeared in front of the scarred man like a ghost. He moved his arm again and knocked the scarred man out with a "bang".
Then, Liu Ming unceremoniously looted the ores from the few people, then he carried a bigger bag. He swaggered toward the opposite intersection.
The other group of people had long been dumbfounded. When the woman in the lead saw Liu Ming coming over, she immediately took a few steps back in shock. She barely squeezed a smile and opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything.
