Huo Yuanbai knew that Long Yu was smart, but he couldn't get anything out of him. Thus, he didn't ask further and just ate and drank with the two.
After the meal, Huo Yuanbai arranged a place for the two to stay, and Long Yu and Ren Pingfan took their leave.
"What do you think, Little Brother Long? What do you think of General Huo?"
Ren Pingfan asked Long Yu with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"A good general."
Long Yu didn't say much, he just smiled and said.
"Hehe, that's not all. When I was born, General Huo was already the Commander of the Nightmare Legion. That year, he slaughtered the invaders from the Ghost Evil County and killed tens of thousands of cultivators from the Ghost Evil County in the Nightmare Mountain Range.
It seemed that the little fatty had a good impression of Huo Yuanbai. Huo Yuanbai should be a powerful general who was loyal to the Shura Prefecture. Otherwise, the Shura Prefecture King wouldn't have entrusted the important task of protecting the Nightmare Mountains to him.
After parting with Huo Yuanbai, the night passed uneventfully.
Early the next morning, a few Sky Realm cultivators came to arrange a place for Long Yu and Ren Pingfan.
The two finally had to part. Before leaving, the little fatty pulled Long Yu's arm and said, "Little Brother Long, after I take office, I'll send people to keep an eye on you. If there's any danger, I'll know very soon. Just try your best to hold on … Of course, there shouldn't be too much danger in the Nightmare Mountains. The people from the Ghost Prefecture seem to be very quiet recently."
"Alright, thank you, Brother Fatty."
Long Yu said with a smile. He didn't call the other person by his name and just called him Brother Fatty. It was obvious that the little fatty liked to call him that.
Ren Pingfan was taken away, so he naturally had to prepare to take up the position of Guest Advisor. Although it was just a title, he would still have some authority. It wouldn't be a problem to arrange one or two people to keep an eye on Long Yu.
As for Long Yu, he was wearing a ghost face mask, following a Celestial Realm Martial Cultivator away from the mountain top. They flew in the Nightmare Mountain Range for thousands of zhang before arriving at the foot of another mountain.
Raising his head and looking at the mountain peak, Long Yu could feel that the mountain peak was faintly filled with even denser Spiritual Energy of the Heavens and Earth. At the top of the mountain peak, he could see quite a few Martial cultivators digging for something.
"Brother Hillghost, this is the Sun Mining Area. According to the general's orders, I brought you here. Take the general's orders and go up the mountain to find the Vulture Mining Team and join them."
The guide said to Long Yu and handed an envelope to Long Yu. It was General Huo Yuanbai's handwritten order.
"Thank you."
Long Yu nodded at the man, then turned around and walked up the mountain peak.
After that, the guide left on his own.
As Long Yu walked up the mountain, he discovered that there were almost no paths on this mountain. Many of the Miners had flown up, and every Mining team had their own area of activity. They couldn't wander around randomly. Long Yu walked up the mountain.
If they took the wrong path, they might face a conflict.
Although they were all Martial Cultivators of Asura County, there would be differences of interests and conflicts wherever there were people.
If they took the wrong path, there was a high chance that a fight would break out. Moreover, Huo Yuanbai's army would not care about such a fight.
Every mining team only needed to hand over half of their harvest to the corps that Huo Yuanbai was in. As for the other half, they could use it for their own use, or trade it for things they needed, such as pills, Combat Weapons, and so on.
The Sun Mining Area, Moon Mining Area, and Star Mining Area were all free mining areas. In other words, the miners here were all Martial Cultivators and Adventurers from all over Asura County.
As for the Nightmare Corps led by Huo Yuanbai, they naturally had their own mining area. Ordinary people were not qualified to enter.
In the army's mining area, the things produced were naturally much better. However, recently, in the Sun Mining Area that Long Yu had come to, there were quite a few good things produced. The value was not cheap, causing the number of Jianghu martial cultivators to increase by a lot.
Of course, these new Martial Cultivators had to go through Huo Yuanbai's subordinates. Otherwise, if they were allowed to wander around freely, it would not be good for them to cause bloodshed everywhere.
Although Huo Yuanbai did not stop the competition, he did not want vicious competition between Martial Cultivators.
Long Yu took to the air with General Huo Yuanbai's handwritten decree in his hand. Soon, he arrived at a platform on the side of the mountain.
At a glance, he could see many people sitting on the platform, resting and chatting with each other.
As soon as they saw Long Yu flying toward the platform, the group looked at him warily. After all, Long Yu's intentions were unknown, and the most suspicious thing was that he was wearing a mask.
Seeing that Long Yu was flying closer, the leader of the group, a burly man wearing a golden pendant, stood up and looked at Long Yu like a ruffian. "Where are you from? What are you doing here? "
"My name is Shan Gui. The general arranged for me to come here."
Long Yu said directly.
"What did I hear? Haha, which general are you talking about? "
The burly man laughed as if he had just heard a joke.
"General Huo, of course."
As he spoke, Long Yu landed in front of the burly man and sized him up. He realized that the burly man was a Tianhua Realm Martial Cultivator with a strong aura.
"Kid, do you know who we are? How dare you spout nonsense here? "
Before the burly man could speak, a thin and sharp-tongued Martial Cultivator next to him said sarcastically, "You are only in the Human Tribulation Realm. How could you possibly meet General Huo?"
"Moreover, this is the Sun Mining Area."
The burly man then said in a deep voice, "Sir, maybe you have come to the wrong place?"
When he said this, the burly man's eyes flashed with hostility. Obviously, he did not welcome Long Yu at all.
"See for yourself."
Long Yu raised his hand and threw General Huo Yuanbai's handwritten decree out.
The burly man was afraid that it might be some kind of hidden weapon. He carefully gathered his Qi and caught the envelope. When he found that it was not a hidden weapon, he opened the envelope.
With just a glance, the burly man's expression changed slightly.
"General Huo really arranged for me to come here. What bad luck. There are too many good things these days. Even the trash of the Human Realm can come to the Sun Mining Area? "
The burly man cursed, "Mountain ghost, is it? Since the general personally arranged for you to come here, then follow our Vulture Squad. But let me tell you in advance, don't think that you can be lazy just because the general personally arranged for you! "
"I will naturally do what I have to do."
Long Yu said lightly and stepped forward, ready to rest for a while on the mountain platform.
He looked around and found that there were a total of 15 people on the mountain platform, except for him. Without exception, they were all Martial Cultivators of the Heaven Realm.
These 15 people were now resting on the mountain platform. Behind the platform, there was a mountain wall with a big hole dug out. It seemed that this was the place where the Vulture Squad mined.
"Boy, is this the first time you have come to the Nightmare Mountains?"
A rather kind-looking middle-aged man walked up to Long Yu with a smile and said, "Our team is about to start work. It just so happens that we are short of one person. Come in with us."
"Okay."
Long Yu thought for a moment and nodded.
He didn't know how the ores were mined here, so it was necessary to follow a team. Since the middle-aged man looked kind, he would follow him.
"Brothers, let's go."
The middle-aged man turned around and called out. Four people stood up with strange smiles on their faces and came to his side.
Including Long Yu, there was a total of six people as they walked into the mine.
"Brother, you are called Mountain Ghost? Why are you wearing a mask? Do you have any enemies? "
The middle-aged man walked beside Long Yu, and as he walked, he chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry here, no one would dare to openly seek revenge under General Huo's command, unless there is a conflict over mining."
Long Yu glanced at him. He felt that although the man was kind, his words seemed to be a little tentative. He became a little wary.
Long Yu thought to himself that he was wearing a mask to prevent the spies in Asura Valley from spreading the news that he was still alive. It wasn't to prevent people from seeking revenge …
However, he naturally couldn't tell this kind of person.
"My name is Deng Yuan."
The middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself. Then, he said, "When you start work later, remember to use your strongest strength. The mountains in the mining area are extremely hard. Even heavenly realm martial cultivators like us have to spend seventy to eighty percent of our strength to barely blast open the mountains and dig in bit by bit. It's really not a good thing that you have been assigned to the mining area. You might be busy for a few months without any results."
"Yes, I will try later."
Long Yu nodded.
Deng Yuan's words surprised Long Yu. He didn't expect the mountains to be so hard that even heavenly realm martial cultivators could barely blast open them.
However, Long Yu wasn't worried that he wouldn't gain anything. After all, his true strength had definitely surpassed the Human Tribulation realm. He might even have reached the Heavenly Tribulation realm.
If it was a life-and-death battle, even a Heavenly Tribulation realm expert might not be Long Yu's match.
"The spiritual energy in this mine is so thick. It seems that Shu Chan arranged for me to come here so that I can cultivate quickly."
Long Yu sensed the aura in the mine. He felt that the spiritual energy in the mine was much thicker than the outside world. If he cultivated here all year round, his cultivation speed would increase by a lot.
Unfortunately, the main purpose of most martial cultivators in the Nightmare Mountain Range wasn't to cultivate, but to mine and search for treasures!
The entire mine was crooked. Most of the walls were made of hard boulders, but a small part of them had shining gray metal. The gray metal was harder than the boulders and had no value.
Basically, one could give up on digging until the gray metal appeared. It was too difficult for a heavenly realm martial cultivator to blast open the gray metal.
"Okay, that's it. Let's get to work."
The middle-aged man, Deng Yuanyi, raised his hand and gestured for everyone to stop here. Then, he pointed to a fork in the passage ahead. The fork led to a cave that had just been excavated. Their task was to extend this cave further and see if they could dig up any rare treasures along the way.
Long Yu keenly noticed that when Deng Yuan glanced at him, there seemed to be some cunning hidden in his eyes!
