Mu Xinya said indifferently, "In addition to the two mutated Corpse Kings from before and the newly discovered Corpse King, there are three Corpse Kings. Each Corpse King has the strength of a Martial Monarch. We should be able to succeed."
"According to the agreement, you have to increase my remuneration by half. I have lived here for ten years, living a life that is neither human nor ghost. I have had enough," Supervisor Li revealed an expression of resentment as he spoke.
Mu Xinya frowned slightly, "My race has prepared this plan for over a hundred years. What is your ten years worth of effort? At the last moment, you are going back on your word. You are too untrustworthy!"
Supervisor Li chuckled, "Whatever you say, I will definitely eat you up. At most, we will just break up."
A cold killing intent flashed in Mu Xinya's eyes. Her aura suddenly soared, as though she was going to make a move at any moment. Supervisor Li smiled faintly and welcomed her without fear.
Finally, Mu Xinya compromised. She snorted coldly, "As you wish. I will increase your Medial Grade Spirit Stones to three thousand."
--- In another tunnel, Xiao Chen felt uneasy as he practiced his saber randomly. The Night Pearls lit up the tunnel like it was daytime. A strong wind blew and saber lights flickered. Occasionally, there would be explosive shouts coming from the air.
Xiao Chen casually practiced a set of Saber Techniques. When his aura reached its peak, he shouted and swung the Lunar Shadow Saber. The saber blade gave off a glow as it stabbed into the stone wall.
"Shua!
Shua! "Black rocks fell off the wall continuously. The entire blade of the Lunar Shadow Saber, including the hilt, was completely embedded into the wall. It was clear how angry he was.
He had gone through a lot of trouble to obtain this information. He had not thought of receiving any rewards, he only hoped that the other party would take note of it. Who knew that Ye Wen would accuse him of snitching?
This made him very depressed. Xiao Chen took a few deep breaths before he slowly calmed down. It looks like there is no hope for Supervisor Zhao. I do not know how to face him tomorrow.
Never mind, things will eventually sort themselves out, Xiao Chen sighed to himself. I just have to guarantee that nothing big will happen before the end of the month.
He's just a little girl and an ordinary miner. If I'm careful, I don't believe that he can cause any big waves.
The next day, early in the morning, Xiao Chen acted as usual, acting as though nothing had happened. He went out to patrol with Ma Cheng and Mu Xinya.
The morning passed just like that. It was so peaceful that there were no waves, which made people feel uncomfortable. Not to mention the dried corpses, even the Spirit Swallowing Worms that could be seen occasionally had disappeared without a trace.
The mine was eerily quiet. Just when Xiao Chen thought he was imagining things, Ma Cheng suddenly said, "What's going on today? I feel like something is wrong."
Xiao Chen looked at him and said in surprise, "Do you have this feeling too? I thought I was the only one who felt that way. "
Ma Cheng had completed many missions in this tunnel. His intuition should be trustworthy. Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel nervous.
During the patrol in the afternoon, Xiao Chen paid 120% of his attention. Aside from paying attention to his surroundings, he also placed most of his attention on Mu Xinya.
If there were any accidents, it would definitely be related to Mu Xinya. When the time came, he just had to keep an eye on her. If anything happened, he would be able to salvage the situation.
Xiao Chen came to a fork that he passed frequently. He ignored the two dead ends and headed for the left tunnel with the miner's lamp.
"Little Lord Ye, is that you?"
Xiao Chen had not gone far when he heard a weak voice coming from the dead end tunnel behind him. He quickly stopped and looked towards one of the tunnels.
He sent out his Spiritual Sense and saw the appearance of the person who spoke. Xiao Chen was startled, it was the supervisor who had been missing for close to half a month.
"Who is inside?" Ma Cheng asked cautiously.
Xiao Chen replied, "It is the Supervisor Wang that I mentioned to you previously. He has been missing for half a month already. I did not expect him to suddenly appear here."
"Little Lord Ye, is that you?" That weak voice drifted over once again. It sounded like it was squeezed out from between clenched teeth. It caused one's scalp to go numb and felt very uncomfortable.
Ma Cheng had already drawn his saber. His entire body was tense and he was on high alert. He said to Xiao Chen, "Junior Brother Ye, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself for a while, pretending to be thinking. In reality, he was using his Spiritual Sense to observe the supervisor. He discovered that aside from the fact that the supervisor's life force was very weak, there was nothing wrong with him.
Even so, this person had been missing for close to half a month. Now that he suddenly appeared, it was hard to avoid feeling suspicious. He did not dare to be careless.
"Let's go over and take a look. Just stay alert," Xiao Chen placed his right hand on the hilt of the Lunar Shadow Saber and led Ma Cheng towards the dead end tunnel.
When they got close, they discovered that Supervisor Wang was lying on the ground. He was leaning weakly against the wall, groaning weakly. Seeing such a situation, Xiao Chen relaxed his guard.
Xiao Chen took out a bottle of water and handed it to this person. Supervisor Wang revealed an expression of joy as he stretched his hand out to receive the bottle.
"Hu Chi!" "Keng Qiang!"
However, Supervisor Wang had only extended his hand halfway. Before Xiao Chen felt anything was wrong, Ma Cheng, who was beside him, hacked down with his saber. This saber tore through the air; it was very fast; there was no way to dodge.
When the sharp blade struck Supervisor Wang's hand, something strange happened. Supervisor Wang's hand was not chopped off. Instead, it emitted a clanging sound that sounded like metal colliding with metal.
Xiao Chen's expression changed and he quickly retreated far away. Supervisor Wang bounced up from the ground and quickly stood up.
He completely tore off his disguise and a rotten smell came from his body. His clothes were torn apart, revealing the hard black skin underneath.
"How did you discover that something was wrong?" Xiao Chen asked as he stood together with Ma Cheng.
Ma Cheng quickly replied, "His five fingers were completely black; they had lost the luster of a human."
So that's how it is, Xiao Chen looked at Supervisor Wang in astonishment. He did not expect that after not seeing him for half a month, Supervisor Wang had actually turned into a dried corpse.
"Ga! Ga! Ga! Ga! "
A strange laughter came from Supervisor Wang's mouth. He said clearly, "I originally wanted to give you a surprise. Who knew that you would discover it in advance."
Ma Cheng's complexion was somewhat pale as he said in a soft voice, "Something is wrong. Why does he still have his own thoughts? After he was infected with the Corpse Poison, he should have turned into a walking corpse."
Xiao Chen frowned, he could not guess what was going on. It was not like it had never happened before for a living person to turn into a dried corpse. When an ordinary person was infected with the Corpse Poison, they would turn into a dried corpse.
However, those were just walking corpses; they did not have much combat prowess. Even an ordinary person could easily dodge them.
Supervisor Wang laughed strangely again, "Do you think I am someone that those walking corpses can compare to? I am the Corpse Monarch, someone who uses corpses to prove my Dao. I am the monarch of the ancient corpses. "
"Hu!" Supervisor Wang waved his hands in the air and a golden cloak appeared from nowhere. Then, he tied it around his body. Then, he took out a golden crown and wore it on his head.
For a corpse that was as thin as firewood to be wearing such a set of clothing, it was incomparably strange.
"Who cares what you are? I will chop you to death with one strike!"
"Mountain Splitting Chop!"
Ma Cheng snorted coldly and leaped into the air. His figure flashed into the air; he had already practiced this Mountain Splitting Chop to Great Perfection.
An indistinct image of a lonely mountain appeared above his head. It seemed like it had the force of ten thousand kilograms as it descended with a majestic aura.
Supervisor Wang, or rather, the Corpse Sovereign. The Corpse Sovereign laughed coldly and pointed at the ground. The ground exploded with a bang, and a mummy burst out from the ground, leaping towards Ma Cheng.
"Chop!"
When Ma Cheng saw the corpse baring its fangs and claws in the air, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. Ma Cheng shouted and swung his saber, infused with the force of ten thousand kilograms, at the corpse.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. His gaze was like lightning as he looked at the corpse in the air. A purple light flashed in his eyes and he saw the situation of the corpse clearly.
Countless streams of black light flowed through the meridians of the corpse's body. In the Dantian, there was a black spiral of Qi that spun like a gale.
Xiao Chen was astonished. This corpse was clearly a ticking time bomb. The flowing black Qi was the fuse. As long as it was broken, it would explode immediately.
Furthermore, the might of this attack was not small. If Ma Cheng was caught off guard, he would definitely suffer.
"Blue Dragon Tail Whip!"
Xiao Chen shouted, and a boundless amount of Essence flowed to his right foot. His right foot pushed off the ground, and the ground started to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, a Blue Dragon image wrapped around Xiao Chen's body. It was as though he had turned into a dragon. The dragon tail whipped in the air, creating an intense ripple and space started to tremble.
In the next instant, Xiao Chen's figure moved in an arc in the air. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Ma Cheng. The Three Flowing Cloud Images made the first move.
The scabbard of the saber struck the corpse's body gently, creating an intense wave on the surface of the sea. The corpse was thrown towards the Corpse Monarch on the ground.
This was the first time Xiao Chen used the high level technique of the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art. This was the true might of a Heaven Ranked Movement Technique. After he used it, his speed instantly reached its peak. Not only did Ma Cheng not react, but the Corpse Monarch on the ground also did not react.
Only when the corpse flew into the air did the Corpse Monarch on the ground react. A strange smile appeared on his skinny face as he flicked his finger.
"Boom!"
The corpse directly exploded in the air with a loud 'bang'; it immediately shattered into pieces. The corpse turned into a black Qi flow and spread out in all directions.
When the energy condensed from Ma Cheng's Mountain Splitting Chop met with this Qi flow, it was actually evenly matched. Ma Cheng somersaulted backwards and landed firmly on the ground.
"Traceless Flowing Water!"
Xiao Chen was in the air, he had a relaxed expression as he executed the Three Flowing Cloud Images. The scabbard of the saber streaked across in front of him. It carried a gentle energy like flowing water, sweeping away the black Qi flow without a trace.
When the black Qi flow scattered, Xiao Chen and Ma Cheng stood together. They looked at the Corpse Monarch in front of them cautiously. Although it called itself a Monarch, it did not have the strength of a Martial Monarch. It was equivalent to a human Martial King.
Even so, a Martial King was not something the two of them could deal with. Furthermore, this corpse monster was extremely strange; it was much stronger than a regular Martial King.
