Liu Ming also discovered that recently, the number of evil beasts in the nearby area seemed to have become more and more frequent.
The passage he was in was still an abandoned passage far from the main mineral vein. It could be imagined that in other areas with more rare ores, the probability of evil beasts appearing would only be more than the nearby area.
In the past four months, most of the evil beasts Liu Ming encountered were the same as the first time he encountered. They were only at the Condensation State early stage, but a few of them were already at the Condensation State intermediate stage.
Through these few encounters, he also discovered that the evil beasts did not only have one form. In addition to the wolf-like ones he encountered previously, there were also some forms such as tigers, leopards, cats and dogs. Their sizes ranged from a few feet to more than a hundred meters. Without exception, they all had two feet on their heads. Their whole body was covered with various colors of stripes. Their physical defense was very strong, and they also had a certain resistance to poison.
With the cooperation of Liu Ming and Bone Scorpion, it was extremely easy to kill the evil beasts several times.
As a result, in addition to the bones, there were also a lot of dried meat left at the moment. Under the continuous consumption, his physical body was far stronger than when he first stepped into this place.
On this day, Liu Ming just returned from the exchange area. After taking the antidote for the month, he sat cross-legged in the cave.
He looked at the bumpy ground outside the cave. His eyes flickered, and a trace of reminiscence gradually appeared on his face.
Since he was captured by Siren King to the deep sea mineral vein, it had been a long time. He recalled the experience of traveling with Ye Tianmei all the way out of Yunchuan, across the sea, and coming to Bieyuan Island. It was still vivid in his mind as if it was yesterday.
Moreover, the extremely erotic scene from six months ago made Liu Ming feel as if he was in a dream.
Now that he woke up from the dream, the beauty was gone, and he was in this underwater mine. He didn't know when he would see her again. This made Liu Ming's face flashed a trace of inexplicable complexity.
"I don't know how she is now?" After a long time, Liu Ming took a sigh of relief and murmured with some melancholy.
Liu Ming's thoughts finally returned to him after a moment of absent-mindedness.
He calmed himself down and began to think about the possibility of escaping from this place.
At this time, since the injuries on his body were all healed, he could really start to think about the specific method to escape this mine.
To him, taking advantage of the fact that he still had spiritual stones to replenish his spiritual power was the best time to escape this place. Otherwise, when they ran out of spiritual stones and lost the power of spiritual weapons like other slave miners, and could only survive by relying on their physical strength, the possibility of escaping would naturally be extremely low.
However, if he wanted to escape this place, then he would naturally have to face two great difficulties. One was the two restrictions within his body, and the other was the escape route from this place.
As long as one of the two couldn't be resolved, it would be wishful thinking to truly regain freedom.
For the former, he had tried various detoxification methods for the black mist in his body, but they were not effective. He had also done a lot of research on the antidote. Although he had analyzed a lot of components, there were still a few that he couldn't figure out. The biggest taboo of alchemy was to generalize. Moreover, he still had doubts about the purity of this antidote, so there was no better solution to deal with it so far.
As for the blood-colored ball of light floating in the Spiritual Sea, it should be able to activate and confine the Spiritual Sea under certain circumstances. Its other effects were still unknown, but it should not be a threat to his life for the time being. However, if he wanted to remove it, he had no clue.
As for the escape route, Liu Ming only knew the entrance when he came in that day, but it was heavily enchanted.
Even if he broke the enchantment and rushed out, he would have to face the mine guards and the unfathomable old man, not to mention the giant beast of the Crystallization Period and the mysterious twelve huge puppets.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming stood up in irritation. He frowned and paced in the stone cave. The expression on his face became more dignified.
Just after Liu Ming walked back and forth a few times, he suddenly found that the Bone Scorpion near the cave entrance moved. It actually raised its head and made a strange hissing sound.
Liu Ming was startled after hearing it. His figure immediately flickered, and he was already in the tunnel outside the cave entrance. After looking around, he suddenly took a deep breath.
He saw that in the hundred meters tunnel that he could see, it was filled with clusters of gray-white mist of several ten meters in size. As it tumbled, it began to condense quickly. In the blink of an eye, several clusters of mist had been connected into one, forming a large chaotic gray-white mist sea.
In the mist sea, amazing space fluctuations were constantly coming out. There were also faint beast roars and looming black shadows as if countless evil beasts were about to rush out.
"Evil Disaster!"
After Liu Ming exclaimed, the relevant rumors and news he heard in the exchange area not long ago suddenly appeared in his mind.
This so-called "Evil Disaster" naturally referred to the evil beast disaster.
It was different from the one or two evil beasts that occasionally broke through the barrier from the bottomless abyss and entered the mineral vein. The Evil Disaster referred to the fact that the barrier between the bottomless abyss and the mine would suddenly weaken for some reason after a period of time, causing many evil beasts to rush into the mining area at the same time.
Once the Evil Disaster broke out, there would be hundreds or even thousands of evil beasts appearing in the mine at the same time. There might even be Condensation Period later stage or even Crystallization Period evil beasts.
This was undoubtedly an unexpected disaster for most of the slave miners who were already struggling to survive here.
Even if Liu Ming was stronger than others, if he was trapped by some evil beasts, he would probably die.
Because once the Evil Disaster broke out, if someone was entangled by the evil beasts and couldn't escape in a short time, more evil beasts would be attracted.
In this case, even as a powerhouse of the Crystallization Period, he didn't dare to be careless. He could only escape far away.
However, according to the old slave miners who had stayed here for decades, this Evil Disaster should only break out once in five or six years. It had only been two to three years since the last outbreak. Logically speaking, it should be safe during this period of time. Could it be that something unexpected had happened during this period of time?
Seeing that the nearby mist clusters were still approaching each other, Liu Ming's thoughts turned quickly. He called Bone Scorpion with one hand without thinking, then his figure flickered and rushed toward the entrance of the tunnel.
According to the past practice, as long as he could escape to the area near the exit, the mine guards would naturally activate the enchantment in the cave to block the powerful evil beast tide outside. After a long time, these evil beasts would be sucked back into the bottomless abyss by an inexplicable force.
In the past, in the few months when the Evil Disaster was about to come, the slave miners would generally try to stay away from the main mineral vein, or they would simply wait near the exit. Even if they wanted to mine ore, most of them would choose some more remote mineral veins or try to find more people to go out together.
What Liu Ming had to do now was to seize the time when the evil beasts had not completely broken through the barrier and quickly escape back to the entrance of the mine.
The outbreak of this Evil Disaster was so sudden and strange. He didn't know how many slave miners like him would be killed by the evil beasts.
With Liu Ming's powerful physical body, he could only see a gray shadow flashing repeatedly in the tunnel. After a few blurs, he had escaped nearly a thousand meters away. The exit of this tunnel was already faintly visible.
Under the mental connection, Bone Scorpion also understood the danger at the moment. It turned into a group of phantasms without hesitation. Its limbs moved repeatedly, making a rustling sound as it followed closely.
At this time, in another large gray mist near the exit of the tunnel, there was a sudden evil wind. The next moment, a multi-legged evil beast with a flat body like a centipede rushed out of it, blocking the entrance of the tunnel tightly.
This evil beast was not only tall, but the countless hooks on both sides were extremely sharp. It was dancing wildly in the sky. Wherever it passed, there was a loud whistling sound. Clusters of yellow mist appeared out of thin air, and they instantly turned into a few dense small hurricanes. It vaguely formed a wind wall that pressed toward Liu Ming.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's face sank slightly, but his running speed did not slow down at all. As his mind moved, a large crimson scale appeared on his shoulder in an instant. When it collided with the oncoming hurricane wall, it directly penetrated through it. Except for a burst of sizzling sound, it didn't seem to be affected at all.
Seeing that he was a few ten meters away from the evil beast, he suddenly stomped on the ground and blasted at the evil beast like an arrow.
The multi-legged evil beast was furious when it saw this. Several weird compound eyes stared at Liu Ming in the sky at the same time. It shook its head and immediately spurted out a cloud of stinky green mist. It opened its mouth full of fangs and bit at Liu Ming fiercely.
Seeing the green mist coming, Liu Ming didn't dodge at all. He just flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind rolled out, blowing away the poisonous gas. His other hand grabbed in the air, and a small black sword appeared out of thin air. After twisting his waist again, he suddenly turned into a series of afterimages to dodge the bite of the opposite giant mouth. He appeared behind the evil beast and slashed with a backhand.
With a whistling sound, a black sword light flashed like lightning and cut the evil beast into two pieces.
Before the two pieces of the evil beast's corpse fell to the ground, Liu Ming had already rushed out of the tunnel with Bone Scorpion without looking back.
But when he rushed out of the tunnel, his pupils couldn't help but shrink again.
At another tunnel leading to the exchange area, there was also a cloud of gray mist rolling and condensing, and there were already two toad-like evil beasts blocking there.
However, these two beasts looked a little stupid. Although they saw Liu Ming, they just stood in place, and they didn't mean to attack.
But at the same time, there were bursts of low roars in the tunnel behind. Obviously, other evil beasts were rushing out of the mist and rushing in his direction.
Liu Ming's heart sank. He knew that he couldn't be entangled by other evil beasts at this time. He didn't think much and rushed into another seemingly empty tunnel without hesitation.
