Su Li never thought that she could reach the end by herself. She needed a lot of talents. Except for annexing other sects, she would not let anyone go as long as she met the right one.
Su Mian was born with a keen intuition, so she thought highly of him. As for whether this person could reach the standard she wanted in the future, only time would tell.
A moment later, Su Li and Su Mian came out of the main tent, while Su Yuanhai stayed in the camp to preside over the overall situation.
"Go to the mine occupied by the Sixth Branch."
Su Li gave a faint order, and Su Mian immediately led the way in front of her without asking any questions.
After they left the camp, they passed through the dark jungle. About an hour later, they came to the back of a low mountain.
Although the black mist blocked her sight, Su Li could still see the miners coming and going in the bumpy mine in the col at a glance. The clanking sound of cutting ores lingered in her ears. It was a scene of bustling activity.
"Over this hill, we will reach the mine of the Sixth Branch."
Su Mian transmitted the sound with a hint of nervousness, "Almost all the people of the Sixth Branch are around the mine. It is heavily guarded. Lady, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to sneak in."
Su Li's eyes flashed, and she transmitted the sound back, "You have been exploring here for a long time. Have you ever met a practitioner in Huashen Realm?"
"Huashen Realm?!"
Su Mian's eyes widened, and he shook his head rather strangely, "I have only seen one in the late stage of Yuanying Realm since I started my cultivation. I have never seen a mighty practitioner in Huashen Realm …"
Su Mian suddenly realized that the person in front of him was a living practitioner in the late stage of Yuanying Realm.
He was lucky enough to be valued by a senior in the late stage of Yuanying Realm?
He pinched his face, and still felt it was unreal.
Su Li stared at the mining carts coming and going in the mine, and the ores were shining with a strange light in the fire.
Her psychic awareness quietly swept through the whole mine like a spring breeze, and penetrated into the depths of the spiritual mine. But this time … her psychic awareness, which had always been successful, was blocked by the soil, and she could not see the reality in the mine.
"Does the demon crystal block my psychic awareness?"
Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly. She picked up Su Mian, who was still in a daze, and directly flew down.
“!!!”
Su Mian widened his eyes and watched himself being thrown into the bright mine by Su Li. He was so scared that his scalp was numb.
His heart was about to fall out of his throat.
Fortunately, his nerves were still quite thick, and he didn't scream out of fear.
When his feet landed on the ground, Su Mian looked around stiffly, only to find that the cultivators and miners around him were still working and patrolling as usual, as if they had not seen him at all.
"Senior, this …"
Su Mian stared at this scene blankly and subconsciously looked at Su Li, but she didn't mean to explain at all. She just pointed at the mine and transmitted the sound, "You have been here before. Lead the way."
Su Mian nodded and tentatively walked a few steps into the mineshaft. After finding that no one could see him, his expression changed from nervousness to excitement, and he strode into the mineshaft.
His eyes flashed. He, who had cultivated for more than two hundred years, thought that he had seen many strange things, but he did not expect that there was such a mysterious secret technique in the world that allowed him to break into the enemy's camp as if there was no one there.
In the future, when I am successful in my cultivation, I can do the same!
Su Mian's mind was in a mess as he looked for the right entrance.
Su Li followed him, and a touch of appreciation flashed through her eyes.
This junior was bold enough and had a good temperament. As long as his talent was not bad, he could be trained well.
At this moment, her thoughts were different.
It was a waste for such a talent to be only a scout.
The spiritual stone mine had not been mined for a long time, but the mine was already accessible in all directions. There were six or seven entrances from the mine.
Su Mian carefully identified and found the entrance that he had sneaked into last time.
"Senior, the strange ore is not found in all the mines. When I came in before, only this one produced the strange ore among the three entrances. Now there are seven mines. It seems that the people of the Sixth Branch have found a new mining site."
Su Mian analyzed as he led the way.
Su Li nodded gently and said nothing.
After a while, the breath of the mine suddenly changed, and a faint demonic energy lingered in her nose.
Su Li stopped and looked around. It was dark and silent.
"This place has been mined out, and no one stays here."
Su Mian added carefully. Then he saw Su Li walk to the stone wall and dig out a thumb-sized weird stone.
"It's a demon crystal!"
Black Lotus Ring appeared on its own and sensed the demonic energy in Su Li's hand. His surprised voice came into Su Li's ears, "This demonic energy is so pure …"
"Pure?"
Su Li glanced at Black Lotus Ring, who didn't lose his temper this time. He explained carefully, "Yes! The status of the Demon Clan is determined by bloodline. The purer the bloodline, the nobler the status. I think the person who left the breath on the demon crystal was at least a member of the royal family in the ancient Demon Clan! "
There was really a demon in the Black Stone Forest!
Su Li's eyes were slightly cold. She remembered the gaze after exploring the Cang Lei's Cave. She transmitted the sound softly, "Do you think that the demon is still hiding in the depths of the Black Stone Forest?"
"This …"
Black Lotus looked at the depths of the dark mine with a dry mouth and tongue. Hearing Su Li's speculation, he suddenly felt numb.
"Who knows? If there is such a mighty demon in the world, we … we'd better run away. The people in the entire Jiuzhou Region are not enough for it. "
Su Li glanced at him and walked to the depths of the mine silently.
Su Mian didn't know why Su Li suddenly left after being in a daze for a while. He could only follow her quickly.
Black Lotus sullenly hid in Black Lotus Ring and recalled Su Li's gaze just now.
"This King … is actually being looked down upon?"
"Hum, you little girl who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. When you see that mighty demon, you will regret it!"
"However, if I really meet it, I will also be swallowed by the mighty demon. No, no …"
When Black Lotus was in a dilemma, Su Li had already walked to the end of the mine. There were three forks in front of her. The tunnel was no longer as dark as before. Instead, there was a lamp every dozens of steps.
The lights were bright.
"It was not like this before!"
Su Mian exclaimed secretly. Su Li walked to the stone wall and gently stroked it. A faint coquettish luster flashed away.
"There are a lot of broken demon crystals in the wall. They are so broken that they can't be mined. Is this Su Jinnan's work, or … "
Su Li was a little more vigilant. After standing for a moment, she randomly chose a path and walked in.
But after a few steps, her expression changed slightly. She pulled Su Mian out at a faster speed.
"Senior …"
Su Mian was confused. He didn't see anyone. Why did Su Li seem to be frightened?
Su Li took a deep look at the deep cave entrance and turned to the second path. After a few steps, Su Li stopped again.
"It's the same chill. Is there a great crisis waiting for me at the end of each path?"
Su Li looked at the dark depths with a cold face. This was definitely not the work of the Sixth Branch of the Su Family.
"Senior, what's wrong with you?"
Su Mian looked at Su Li's face and finally realized that something was wrong. There was a trace of panic in his voice.
Su Li gave him a comforting look and whispered, "Now, let's get out of this cave together and go back the way we came."
"Yes, Senior."
Although Su Mian didn't know why Su Li wanted to go back without finding anything halfway, he obeyed the order without hesitation and turned to go outside.
But when he walked to the original fork, he was shocked.
"The way back disappeared?!"
He ran to the smooth wall and touched the thick wall fiercely. Suddenly, he fell into a sluggish state. "How could it be? Even immortals can't gamble on a mine in such a short time. We are trapped in it! "
Su Li looked at Su Mian's dazed look, and a trace of understanding flashed in her eyes.
"There is no trace of tactical matrix. Is it … a demonic method?"
Su Li called Black Lotus in her heart, but Black Lotus Ring didn't appear. It only passed her an emotion.
"You are targeted by a mighty demon!"
Was it really a mighty demon?!
Su Li's pupils shrank suddenly, but she didn't panic much. The mighty demon only blocked the way back, which meant that it didn't want to kill her. It just forced her to meet him.
But no one could tell what would happen after they met.
Su Li took a deep breath and led Su Mian to the third fork.
Since they were going to meet, it was the same no matter which of the three paths they took. The mighty demon just wanted to confuse Su Li and make her panic.
However, it obviously underestimated Su Li.
Su Mian followed Su Li. As they walked, he suddenly felt that the surrounding temperature was dropping, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell, which made him a little absent-minded.
He subconsciously approached Su Li and suddenly became sober.
"The air here is poisonous. If you are ten meters away from me, you are likely to die. Be careful."
Su Li's faint voice conveyed love. Su Mian's blood froze, and he immediately got closer to Su Li. He couldn't wait to stick to Su Li's back.
"Why is the experience completely different when I follow Senior into the mine? I'm just a scout in Zhuji Realm! "
Su Mian felt wronged in his heart. He inadvertently looked at the wall, and the patterns on the wall suddenly squirmed, as if there were countless snakes swimming inside.
The horrifying scene scared Su Mian so much that his voice changed.
"Senior, the wall moved!"
Huh?
Su Li looked over, and the surrounding wall immediately stopped squirming. It was quiet, as if the scene just now had never happened.
"Senior, you have to believe me. The wall really moved!"
Su Mian said again and again with a sad face, for fear that Su Li didn't believe him.
Su Li shook her head and walked to the wall. She touched the cold wall, but she didn't see the squirming picture. But the patterns on the wall were indeed different from before.
Su Mian suppressed his fear and walked to Su Li. He looked at the wall for a long time. For some reason, he always felt that the patterns on the wall were very disgusting.
"Senior, the wall is so dirty and slippery."
He touched the wall and turned his head, only to see Su Li looking at him with a strange look. Was that … admiration?
