Ye Wen tossed the ring into the air and smiled faintly at Xiao Chen, "There is no problem. You just have to pay attention to it."
What do you mean I just have to pay attention to it? Xiao Chen thought to himself. Ye Wen's gaze towards him was filled with a deep meaning; it was more like a warning than anything else.
"Let's go. Go back and have a good sleep tonight. That's right, there is one more important thing I have not told you. Do not cultivate underground. If you are not careful, you might explode and die. There have been many precedents. I hope you will not mess around," Ye Wen warned the two of them.
This way, I will not be able to cultivate for a month. Xiao Chen could not help but feel disappointed. When he first came down and saw the dense Essence in the surroundings, he was filled with hope.
The two of them spoke as they returned to the stone room. When Mu Xinya saw that Ye Wen was not around, she said, "Senior Brother Ye, thank you for saving me earlier."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "It's fine. We are just helping each other. Who knows when I might be saved by you."
After they returned to the stone room, Xiao Chen let Mu Xinya choose a bed first. Then, he slowly laid down on the other stone bed.
The stone room was rather spacious. It was not cramped for two people to stay in. There were Night Pearls embedded in the walls, making the room bright.
Xiao Chen laid on the bed; he had not sorted out his thoughts. Leaving all his escape routes in the hands of others did not give him any sense of security.
His Spiritual Sense was like a thin thread as it extended upwards. However, it was as Ye Wen said. This place was a few thousand meters underground. Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense extended upwards for close to two thousand meters.
However, aside from seeing a few similar layers of ore, he did not know how far he was from the surface. Xiao Chen withdrew his Spiritual Sense and could not help but think, Where is the exit?
Xiao Chen did not give up. He scanned the entire ore layer with his Spiritual Sense. Finally, he found the headquarters of this layer. However, he was blocked by a formless barrier; he could not get past it.
After trying a few times, Xiao Chen did not succeed. He could only give up helplessly. In the stone room, there was a simple hourglass that counted the time. According to Earth's time, it was around seven o 'clock at night.
It was still early. Although he could not cultivate in this place, Xiao Chen did not have the habit of sleeping early. He took out the Clear Wind Chop that Liu Ruyue gave him and looked at it carefully. The Clear Wind Chop that Ye Wen used today was quite shocking.
"Senior Brother Ye, I'm done bathing. You can go take a bath."
Pushing open another stone door in the stone room, there was a simple bathroom inside. There was a pool filled with underground water, so there was no need to worry about cleanliness here.
After Mu Xinya came out, she immediately said this to Xiao Chen. The little girl's clothes were very neat and tidy. She did not reveal anything, so Xiao Chen did not feel awkward.
Xiao Chen put down the book and nodded. He was not a clean freak. After he went in, he simply washed up, put on his clothes, and walked out quickly.
Mu Xinya's character was rather lively. When Xiao Chen was reading, she kept asking him questions. The smile on her face never faded. She was very optimistic about this mission.
"Senior Brother Ye, why did you enter the Heavenly Saber Pavilion? Furthermore, you even entered the weakest Qingyun Peak. "
Mu Xinya's questions assaulted him once again. There was no end to them, causing Xiao Chen to be unable to concentrate. He smiled bitterly and helplessly put down the book.
After thinking for a while, he replied, "In the beginning, it was to save a friend. After that, I discovered that I could raise my strength here, so I slowly stayed."
Mu Xinya revealed a mischievous smile, "I guess that friend of yours must be a girl."
"You can say that!" Xiao Chen smiled and changed the topic, "What about you? Why did you enter the Heavenly Saber Pavilion?"
Mu Xinya changed her position on the stone bed. She lay on the wall and said, "My parents called me in. I have only been here for a month. Actually, I did not want to come."
Xiao Chen was secretly astonished. She was already a peak Martial Grand Master even before she came up the mountain. It looks like Mu Xinya's family background is not simple.
After answering this question, Mu Xinya's mood seemed to turn heavy. She was not as excited as she was earlier. After chatting for a while, she went to sleep.
Xiao Chen could not sleep. He continued to look at the Clear Wind Chop in his hand. The Essence in his body followed the path described on it and slowly circulated. Instantly, he felt a surge of energy.
Unfortunately, there was no suitable place to cultivate. Xiao Chen gave it a try before giving up. After midnight, his eyelids started to struggle and he fell asleep in a daze.
Xiao Chen woke up on time the next morning. The sound of him getting up startled Mu Xinya awake. After the two of them washed up and ate their rations, they started to patrol according to the route Ye Wen gave them yesterday.
Not long after, Xiao Chen saw the group of miners who dug out the Medial Grade Spirit Stone raw ore yesterday. When the leader, Supervisor Li, saw the two of them arrive, he quickly put down what he was doing.
He came over to greet them, "Greetings, Sir and Madam. Do you have any instructions?"
Xiao Chen sized up this person carefully. He was close to two meters tall. Xiao Chen had to look up at him. However, what caught Xiao Chen's attention were his eyes. The eyes of the other miners were dim and had no focus.
However, his eyes were still filled with color. There was not a hint of dispiritedness in them. If it were not for the fact that his clothes were too dirty, no one would think of him as a miner.
"Nothing much, we are just here to patrol. If there is anything, immediately send out a signal." Xiao Chen nodded and left with Mu Xinya.
Patrolling was an extremely dry task, especially when it was a few thousand meters underground. Xiao Chen finally understood why there were so few people on this mission.
In such a hellish environment, if anyone came here once, they would not come a second time unless they were in urgent need of contribution points.
The interior of the mine was not as peaceful as it looked on the surface. After yesterday's experience, Xiao Chen did not dare to be careless. He carefully followed the map as he walked in the mine.
"Hu Chi!"
The sharp sound of a bugle horn suddenly resounded in the mine. Xiao Chen and Mu Xinya looked at each other. There was a situation. They quickly rushed towards the source of the sound.
The two of them were very fast. Not long after, they arrived at the source of the sound. They discovered a corpse slowly crawling out of the ground. The miners scattered.
Xiao Chen said to Mu Xinya, "Gather these people together. Don't run around. It is just an ordinary corpse. I will go and deal with it first."
Mu Xinya asked worriedly, "Can you do it?"
"Even if I can't, I have to!" After Xiao Chen spoke, he immediately rushed forward and started fighting with the corpse that just crawled out of the ground.
This was the first time he faced such a disgusting monster. Xiao Chen did not dare to be careless. He carefully blocked the corpse's attacks. He slowly felt that this corpse's attacking methods were limited. It was purely relying on its speed and its sharp claws to attack.
This should be the lowest grade corpse. Not long after, Xiao Chen completely grasped its attack patterns. He did not intend to drag the fight out.
Xiao Chen executed the Three Flowing Cloud Images and his figure immediately became blurry. He was like a small river as he circled the corpse and sent out three saber strikes at lightning speed. "Shua! Shua!
Shua! "
The corpse's two arms and head were instantly separated from its body. A large amount of black liquid splashed out. Knowing how powerful this liquid was, Xiao Chen sent out a saber light to block it.
The corpse that had lost its arms and head was not completely dead. It instinctively charged at Xiao Chen. However, it was no longer a threat.
Xiao Chen executed Drawing the Saber and chopped it in half. This time, it could not be more dead.
Sheathing his saber, Xiao Chen faced the miners that Mu Xinya had organized and asked, "Who is the supervisor?"
A miner walked out with his back bent. He said to Xiao Chen, "Replying to Little Sir, I am the supervisor here."
This person's complexion was dark and his eyes had no light in them. Xiao Chen sighed silently in his heart. He said, "Clean up the corpse. According to the rules, you can rest for two hours. I will not interfere."
This was what Ye Wen had instructed. If a corpse appeared, the miners could rest for two hours before going back to work. There was no need to bother with it.
The two of them stayed here for a while. When they saw that nothing happened, they left the area and continued patrolling.
When they arrived at a fork in the road, three tunnels appeared in front of them. However, two of them did not have any lamps installed. It was completely dark. According to the rules, this was a dead tunnel and there was no need to patrol it.
Just as they were about to leave, Xiao Chen suddenly saw a pair of green eyes flash in one of the tunnels. However, when he looked carefully, he did not discover anything.
He extended out his Spiritual Sense and searched for a long time. However, he did not discover anything.
"Senior Brother Ye, what's wrong?" Mu Xinya asked suspiciously.
Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. He said, "Don't move. I'll go in and take a look. There seems to be something in there."
Mu Xinya looked in the direction Xiao Chen was looking, "Isn't that a dead tunnel? I'll go with you. "
"There is no need. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me." After Xiao Chen spoke, his figure flashed and he entered. His eyes gave off a faint purple glow in the darkness. In the pitch-black tunnel, he could clearly see everything within ten meters of him.
Xiao Chen walked two hundred meters in and did not discover anything. Just as he was about to leave, he heard footsteps behind him. It was Mu Xinya following him.
"Let's go, there is no need to follow me. My eyes are playing tricks on me," Xiao Chen said to Mu Xinya behind him.
However, the instant Xiao Chen turned around, he saw Mu Xinya's expression turn unsightly. She quickly drew the Yuanyang Twin Sabers at her waist. A cold light flashed in the tunnel.
The Yuanyang Twin Sabers in her left hand gave off a melodious hum as it flew towards Xiao Chen's head at lightning speed.
The Yuanyang Twin Sabers were mostly used by women. Because the sabers were rather short, most men would feel that it was not domineering enough when they used it. If one only looked at its outer appearance, it would fit the delicate nature of a girl.
However, in reality, the might and aura of the Yuanyang Twin Sabers were not delicate at all. Xiao Chen watched as the Yuanyang Twin Sabers emitted a cold light in the dark night.
Xiao Chen's thoughts paused for a moment. However, after a while, he immediately made a move. Due to his trust in Mu Xinya, he did not make a move to strike her down.
He executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art. His figure moved quickly in the tunnel like a flood dragon. Soon, he arrived behind Mu Xinya.
