"What happened?"
The students were panicking. They had never seen such a shocking scene. On the contrary, the teachers quickly calmed down.
"Quiet!
"It's just an earthquake.
"I am your instructor, An Mufeng. Listen to my orders. Two of you will form a team and take care of each other. Those with defensive abilities, be ready to use them at any time, just in case! "
Teacher An shouted loudly.
"Everyone, don't worry.
"This mine has been reinforced during mining," Ye Zichen said.
"We are supposed to return to school tonight. The bus should be here in a few hours. When they can't contact us, they will send reinforcements.
"So …
"Someone will definitely come at night at the latest."
"You must stay calm. Understand? Everyone just needs to rest here for a few hours. "
Teacher An kept comforting them and finally, the frightened students calmed down.
The earthquake was not scary.
The biggest problem would be if the students were to be in a mess.
"Teacher Wang, are there any casualties?"
Teacher An looked at another teacher.
"It's alright."
Teacher Wang replied, "When the top of the mountain fell, it swayed for a long time. Everyone avoided it. Some people were injured but no one was in trouble."
"That's good."
Teacher An heaved a sigh of relief.
If someone were to die, they would have to bear the responsibility.
"I wonder if there is a way out."
Teacher An looked around. All the entrances to the mine had collapsed and there was no way out. The sky was filled with interference from the Energy Stones and there was no cell phone signal.
There was no sunlight above their heads. There were only dim lights in the mine.
Cheez —
Cheez —
The lights suddenly flickered.
The dim lights in the mine flickered for a few times and then it was completely dark.
"I can't see anything!"
The students exclaimed.
It was chaos in the darkness.
"Where are the Elementalists?"
Teacher An shouted, "Are there any Light Elementalists?"
Shush!
A dazzling radiance suddenly rang.
The entire mine became bright again. Everyone looked towards the source of the light and was shocked to discover that it was actually a bald teenager. His head …
It was shining!
"You are?"
Teacher An was shocked.
This was the first time he saw someone using his head to cast an ability.
Although in theory, energy could be cast from any part of the human body. However, most people would choose to use both hands because it was more efficient and easier to control.
Regardless of whether it was condensing energy or attacking direction, it was very convenient.
The head …
I've never seen it before.
"My name is Chang Liang. I also cultivate in the element of light."
The young man opened his mouth and said embarrassedly, "My hands were injured before, so I couldn't circulate energy in my hands, so I thought of a way to use other parts of my body to display my abilities."
"You … how long can this last?"
Teacher An exclaimed.
"Uh, it doesn't consume much."
Chang Liang thought for a moment. "As long as there is energy, it will continue to shine."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Teacher An was very satisfied.
"I'm fine."
Chang Liang was overwhelmed by the favor.
This was the first time he had received such attention, so he naturally had to perform well.
Hum –
A faint radiance lit up.
He alone illuminated the entire dark world.
…
There was light.
Coupled with the efforts of the two teachers, the students were finally appeased.
After a few days of mining, the students' ability to endure hardships had improved. Anyway, they didn't need to mine, so they didn't mind lying here for a few hours.
At this very moment …
Lu Ming kept a low profile in the crowd.
His gaze was always on the mining area. He was very suspicious. Was that movement just now really an earthquake?
"Did you discover something again?"
It was unknown when Xia Yu went to Lu Ming's side again.
"How can you find me?"
Lu Ming glanced at him.
"Because you are the calmest."
Xia Yu said, "As a Sharpshooter, strong observation skills are our foundation. Your expression tells me that you definitely discovered something.
"Can you sense where the earthquake is coming from?"
Lu Ming suddenly said.
"Let me try."
Xia Yu squatted down slightly, touching the ground gently. He sensed for a moment. "The source of the earthquake … seems to be deeper."
He pointed in a direction.
That direction … was clearly pointing to the mining area!
"Those workers."
Lu Ming spoke in a low voice about what happened that night.
"This can only mean that they are digging something."
Xia Yu shook his head. "There is no evidence that they have done something bad, nor is there any clue that they are the masterminds. No one will believe it."
"That's why I didn't say anything."
Lu Ming shrugged.
He was too weak. He was just a small One Star Card Creator. It was not suitable for him to be involved in such things. But now …
The mine had collapsed.
Everyone was trapped here.
Lu Ming felt that it was necessary to resolve this matter.
However …
Just as they got up, there was a flurry of footsteps coming from afar. Three figures escaped from the depths of the mine, looking pathetic.
"Inside … collapsed …"
The three of them said in horror.
These three people …
Lu Ming's pupils constricted suddenly.
This was because these three people were the workers who worked overtime late at night!
These guys actually dared to take the initiative to come out!
Xia Yu glanced at Lu Ming. After seeing his expression, he instinctively grabbed the bow on his back and condensed some energy in his hands.
"Who are you guys?"
Teacher An walked out and said, "I am the instructor of this student internship, An Mufeng."
"Hello, Teacher An."
"My name is Fu Hongming. We … we are workers in the mining area."
Mining area …
Teacher An suddenly understood.
He remembered that he had explained it to a student. He took a closer look at the appearance of these three workers. They were indeed from that batch of workers.
"S-sorry."
Fu Hongming said in a panic, "We received orders to work overtime to excavate the mining area. However, for some unknown reason, we did not pass the safety inspection today. However, the boss still insisted on mining … We don't know what we touched … and something happened. "
"It collapsed."
"The entire mine collapsed."
Fu Hongming wanted to cry but had no tears.
"You guys are the ones who caused the mine collapse?"
Teacher An was shocked.
"I'm sorry."
Fu Hongming seemed to be on the verge of breaking down. "Only the three of us escaped … My colleagues … Those who ran slower were all crushed to death …"
Everyone was silent.
"Damn black factory!"
Teacher Wang said indignantly. Everyone else thought so too.
This kind of thing …
How could they blame the workers?
They were just following the orders from the higher-ups. They heard that they worked overtime every day and almost risked their lives. No one wanted such a thing to happen.
"It's okay."
An Mufeng comforted him. "The school will send people over to rescue you later. When that time comes, all of you will go out with us. "
"Thank you."
Fu Hongming was very grateful.
Lu Ming was silent.
"What do you think?"
Xia Yu looked at him.
Look!
In this way, all the doubts could be explained.
Even Lu Ming himself felt that he had misunderstood these workers. Perhaps, they were just a group of workers who suffered under the oppression of the black boss.
Perhaps their characters were despicable.
Perhaps they were more irritable.
However …
They were after all just workers.
"Do you still suspect them now?"
Xia Yu asked.
"Yes."
Lu Ming did not hesitate.
"Why?"
Xia Yu was shocked.
"Intuition!"
Lu Ming's gaze was like lightning.
When he could not determine the truth of the matter, he only trusted his intuition. Especially that night, these guys' tone and attitude …
Things were definitely not that simple.
Perhaps …
They had long known that some students might enter the mining area by mistake or unruly. Therefore, they made some preparations in advance.
"I believe you."
Xia Yu picked up the bow.
"Why?"
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.
He only suspected them because he had some contact with these guys, but Xia Yu … …
"Intuition!"
Xia Yu smiled faintly. "The intuition of a sharpshooter is more accurate than you think."
Heh.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
In that case, it was time to think of a way to deal with these three guys.
These guys were very smart and should not be weak. If they were to expose them rashly, it might cause a fight. These newbies who had just entered the school might become cannon fodder.
There would be countless casualties!
"You said that they wanted to dig something out."
"Could it be that they got that thing and caused the mine to collapse? However, they are trapped here and unable to get out, so …"
"They need to mingle with us."
"Then …"
"There is no 'then'."
"They got what they wanted and left."
"We will wait for the school to rescue them and then leave successfully."
"We have nothing to do with each other."
Xia Yu analyzed calmly.
His thoughts coincided with Lu Ming's. This was the best solution at the moment.
Expose them now?
A huge battle was inevitable!
Groups of noob cannon fodder were the biggest problem!
"Perhaps.
We can also wait for the school to send people to rescue them and then expose them. "
Lu Ming said.
If the school carried out a rescue mission in the mine, perhaps the vice-principal would come. He was a really powerful cultivator!
By then …
These workers weren't even worth looking at!
Exposing them at that time was the right choice.
"Okay."
Xia Yu agreed.
At this moment, Fu Hongming, who was far away, suddenly said, "The mine collapsed. It seems that they dug something out. I heard the few workers who did not escape shouting something about a mystic realm …"
What?
The two teachers exclaimed.
The students who heard this widened their eyes in disbelief.
Mystic realm?
What a joke!
There was a mystic realm in this damn place?!
Yes!
It was highly possible!
Otherwise, why would the mine suddenly collapse?
