Although he was the leader, he had just become a hunter not long ago. He still needed to seek advice from others, especially from an experienced person like the zong personality.
They were here under the orders of the Emperor of Zhou State. Although it was a mission, it was actually an order. If they could not complete it, they would be implicated. From the perspective of a mission, they had already completed their mission.
The map of the Purple Gold mine had been found, and it was done without losing a single soldier. It could be considered perfect.
As long as they brought the map back to the Jade Capital, they would be able to report back. However, if they handed it over, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Emperor of Zhou State, Ye Chengtian, would definitely order the army to snatch the purple gold mine. In that case, whether or not they could snatch the mine back was another matter.
That group of mysterious bandits would definitely kill the villagers they captured in order to silence them.
Yun Canglang and the rest did not want to see such an outcome.
Moreover, even if they brought the news back to the Jade Capital, it would take almost a month for them to come and go. By then, the mine would have been emptied.
"Hehe, this old man thinks that we should just kill our way to that mine. Whatever magical beasts or bandits, they'll be nothing in front of this old man," the zong personality said boldly. He was a Holy Beast Summoner, so he really didn't care about ordinary enemies.
"How about this, Zong Personality, let your Bat Sun and Bat Son go to the mine area to check out the situation. After confirming the number of people on the other side, we can make a decision." Yun Sheng also felt that they should not hand over the map for the time being.
The pressure of the Dragon-clawed Bat King was too frightening. In order to avoid alerting the group of mysterious people, Yun Sheng asked the zong personality to keep the Dragon-clawed Bat King in the Magical Beast Space.
The zong personality could control some low-level bats through the bat king. Taking advantage of the night, he released a few bats.
On the morning of the second day, the bats brought back some news.
After communicating with the bat for a while, the zong personality's expression became serious.
"Master, things are not looking good." The zong personality scratched his head. He originally thought that as long as he had his own magical beasts, he would not have to fear the mysterious people. However, the bats discovered that there were many Lightning Explosion Magic Arrays in the mine area.
The Lightning Explosion Magic Array was no ordinary Magic Array. It was drawn using the Lightning Magic Element with astonishing power.
This kind of magic array was mostly used for mining in mountainous areas, and its power was enough to split mountains and split the earth.
It was also used in some large-scale battles. As long as it was properly arranged and the opponent did not have any magicians present, it could be used to launch a sneak attack on the enemy on the battlefield.
Furthermore, the mining area worked day and night. From the mining area, corpses were transported out one after another. There were both men and women, and there were even many corpses of children who were a few years old.
Even Yun Canglang, who was used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, couldn't help but become angry after hearing the Zong Personality's words.
These mysterious people were too inhumane.
Not only that, according to Bat's reaction, there were sorcerers, warriors, and a few summoners among the group of mysterious people. Such a well-disciplined force with a clear division of labor had obviously been carefully planned.
"I can only gather this much information. The bats also don't dare to enter the mining area. If they activate the Lightning Explosion Magic Array, even my Dragon Claw Bat King would be blown to pieces." The Zong Personality couldn't help but rejoice. He had listened to Yun Sheng's suggestion yesterday and didn't rashly send his Dragon Claw Bat King into the mining area. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Hearing Master Zong's words, not to mention us, even if the army personally went, I'm afraid it would be difficult to break in. If the other party is forced into a corner, I'm afraid they would activate the Lightning Explosion Magic Array. The villagers inside would most likely die." Yun Canglang muttered.
"Why don't we sneak in? Since it's difficult to break in from the outside, why don't we think of a way from the inside? "Yun Sheng suddenly suggested.
"Break in from the inside? No, that's too dangerous. Moreover, our group is too obvious a target. "The people from the Sky Hunting Group were all soldiers. Although they were now hunters, their temperament and actions were clear. It was impossible for the other party to not notice.
"We don't need too many people, just a few will do. Me, Huang Que, and Liu Zi are still young. Our dou qi and magic fluctuations aren't obvious, so we're the best candidates. Liu Zi has also been to the mine before, so he has a better understanding of the situation. "Yun Sheng was very curious about the Lightning Explosion Magic Array in the mine.
Yun Sheng had already asked Liu Zi about the details. The plundering of the villagers had happened in the past half a month.
According to the map of the mine, the Purple Gold Mine spanned about one li and was several meters deep. The other party definitely wanted to plunder enough people and finish excavating the mine before Zhou State or other countries discovered it.
From the casualties in the mine, there were people dying every day. Those mysterious people were bound to plunder the villagers again.
The villages near Southern Cliff Town, especially the two villages close to Jingkou Village, were the most likely targets.
"It's too dangerous. The other party has more than a thousand people, and there's no lack of powerful magicians and warriors among them." Yun Canglang was very unwilling to let Yun Sheng become a suspect. He would rather sneak in himself.
However, Yun Sheng's words weren't without reason. There really weren't any more suitable candidates around.
His elder brother's life was uncertain, so he had the obligation to take good care of Sheng 'er.
"Second Uncle, if we don't act quickly, the thousand or so villagers who have been robbed will definitely die. Moreover, I'm a famous doctor. If I sneak in, I can minimize the casualties to the greatest extent. Even if we can't save the villagers, we can buy some time for you to come up with a more reliable solution. "Yun Sheng also didn't take a step back.
Yun Canglang's heart was heavy at the thought of more than a thousand villagers dying.
"Not good, General." Just as Yun Canglang was hesitating, Zhou Quan walked in. "Last night, another village's villagers disappeared. There were more than two hundred people in the village, and not a single one was left."
"Second Uncle, we can't let the tragedy of the Yun Army happen again!" Yun Sheng's words were like a sharp arrow that pierced Yun Canglang's heart.
He finally made up his mind. "Sheng 'er, but you have to promise Second Uncle that you can't blindly stick your head out. You have to inform Second Uncle about everything first."
Knowing that Yun Sheng and the rest were willing to infiltrate the mine, Liu Zi was both happy and worried. However, in the end, he couldn't overcome his worry for his parents and the villagers. That night, he, Yun Sheng, and Huang Que arrived at a village called Zhou Village near Jingkou Village.
The hunters of the Heaven Extermination Hunting Corps were lying in ambush near Zhou Village, carefully monitoring it.
In order to keep it a secret, Yun Sheng only told the news to the village chief of Zhou Village.
The old village chief was still skeptical at first, but when he heard that the hunting corps that Yun Sheng belonged to was the Yun Army, the old village chief immediately dispelled his suspicions.
Although Yun Canglang was defeated that year, he fought to the last moment in order to protect the villagers at the border. The kindness of the Yun Army and the General's Estate was deeply engraved in the hearts of the people at the border.
The three of them changed into the village's youths' attire. In order to make things easier, Yun Sheng was still dressed as a youth, and Que 'er also changed into men's attire. The three of them waited patiently in the village.
