C2003 The Mountain Passageway
Shit, no, this kid can't go crazy. It wasn't easy for him to find a cultivator who had a Spirit Force. If he really went crazy, wouldn't that be his loss? When they arrived at the dark cave, Wang Xiao felt that the wind blowing from the depths of the cave was very cold.
"Huhuhu!"
Standing in front of the cave, Wang Xiao could hear the wind blowing inside. The cold and gloomy cold wind kept blowing the clothes of Wang Xiao and the others. This wind was very bone-piercing and very cold, as if they were in a cold pond.
It seemed that this cave was dug very far, very deep. Moreover, it had already opened up the other end of the mountain, which was why the cold wind appeared. Otherwise, it was impossible for the cold wind to appear in the belly of the mountain.
Wind only existed in the great natural world. It was caused by the movement of airflow and some other factors. It was impossible for a cold wind to blow out of the belly of the mountain for no reason. However, if there was a cold wind in the belly of the mountain, there were only two possibilities.
The first possibility was that the belly of the mountain had been pierced through. Because the temperature in the belly of the mountain was very low, it was gloomy. When the wind blew on the other side of the belly of the mountain, it would come along the hole that had been dug out. Thus, when one stood at the end of the belly of the mountain, one would also be able to feel the cold dark and dense wind.
As for the other possibility, Wang Xiao was unable to explain it in detail. Perhaps it was because of the belly of the mountain itself. Their clothes and black hair fluttered along with the wind that appeared in the cave in the belly of the mountain.
Wang Xiao's deep eyes looked at the dark cave. Perhaps... For the rest of the time, he would spend it in the dark belly of the mountain. Although he had come prepared, Wang Xiao firmly believed that he would not stay here for too long. However, Wang Xiao really didn't want to go into such a dark and damp place. Humans like the bright and warm world. And not the dark, cold world.
However, he had no choice. Since he had already come here, he could only stick to his previous belief. In order to find the Spirit Stone Vein Mine, even taking some risks was worth it. Without paying any price, how could there be any gains?
He San and the others stood in front of the cave. They only stopped for a few seconds before planning to enter.
"Let's go. It's useless to be afraid. Since we are already here, why not be brave?" Hee San thought Wang Xiao was afraid, so he said.
In fact, Wang Xiao was not afraid at all. He only wanted the Spirit Stone.
Another group of coolies pushed the cart out. The cart was full of ore. These coolies were exhausted and in a very sorry state. Their bodies were dirty, and they were even dirtier and dirtier than beggars. But working underground for a long time, how could there be a reason for cleanliness?
Some people's clothes had probably not been washed for a few months. They could not even eat their fill and could not even control their own fate. How could they be in the mood to care about whether or not they were very slovenly and dirty?
Perhaps, it wouldn't be long before they would be the same as these people. Their clothes would also be so dirty. These labourers passed Wang Xiao and the others one after another. Of course, the experts who were supervising the coolies also walked out one after another.
These experts knew He San and the others, so they greeted He San and the others one after another. However, in response to the politeness of these people, Hee San had an expression of looking down on them. He was stronger than these people, so he didn't give them a good look. It seemed like if he didn't show his face, he would be letting down his cultivation base.
Under the lead of the Earth Rank warrior, Wang Xiao and the others entered the cave.
At this moment, Hee San said to Wang Xiao, "Kid, I know that you must be unhappy with me. However, it doesn't matter. As long as you think you have the ability, you can come to me for revenge at any time. However, the prerequisite is that you have the ability. "
Wang Xiao ignored Hee San, but he thought that when he went to seek revenge on Hee San, perhaps this bastard would kneel down and beg for mercy, regretting what he said today. At that time, he would see how arrogant this bastard was and how arrogant he was now.
The moment he stepped into the cave, the temperature in the surroundings immediately dropped. It was as if he was in an ice cave, and his entire body felt cold. Not only was this place very dark, it was also cold and damp. Living in this environment for a long time, it was very easy to fall ill, and his body would soon collapse. In fact, such a simple logic, those hard-working people were very clear, but they had no choice, and their lives could not be controlled.
The men in the room were like coal miners. They were all dirty and had dark faces. From head to toe, only their teeth weren't black.
On the ground in the belly of the mountain, there were water pits in some places. However, the water pits weren't big and weren't deep. They were filled with broken stones.
Those hardworking people quietly walked in the belly of the mountain. No one spoke. Other than the angry shouts from the inspectors, they would not be able to hear their voices.
They were like robots, working as they pleased. They would not complain or resist. They only knew how to obey. They seemed to be complaining about their thoughts and not their desires.
However, it wasn't that they didn't have them, but that they couldn't. Freedom and conditions were a luxury to them.
The cave was also very wide, at least seven or eight meters. This width was enough for them to work hard.
However, after entering this place, Wang Xiao did not feel any spirit energy. That's right, there was indeed no spiritual energy here. Other than the cold and gloomy temperature, there was no spiritual energy at all.
Previously, when they were outside, they could still feel the spiritual energy. However, when they entered this place, the spiritual energy disappeared. Under the ground, as well as in the belly of the mountain, he would not feel the presence of spirit energy.
Because spirit energy could only be sensed by combining heaven and earth. On the stone walls on both sides of the cave, there would be a torch every ten steps.
The torch burned fiercely and was inserted into the rock. Because there were many torches and the brightness was very good, the entire belly of the mountain was illuminated as if it was daytime. In this place, other than the cold, there was plenty of light.
On the two sides of the stone walls, there were countless traces of man-made excavation. Along the way, they had walked for at least a dozen minutes. Although they had walked a few miles, the stone walls on both sides of the cave had left traces of being excavated.
From this, it could be seen that this cave had been dug by human hands. To dig such a large cave required a large amount of manpower, and it was not something that could be completed in two to three years.
As the cave was very long and deep, even though there were torches inside, the front of the cave was still pitch black.
Walking in the cave, looking at the dark tunnel ahead, he felt very depressed.
Ever since they entered the cave, Hee San and the other experts did not speak anymore. They had a very serious expression on their faces. He didn't know if their serious expressions were meant for those who occasionally went through hard work or the rules of the sect.
Wang Xiao originally wanted to use medicinal Spirit Forces to check if there was spirit energy in the surroundings. Since this cave was dug to search for medicinal Spirit Stones, then the surrounding stone walls should still have medicinal Spirit Stones left behind.
However, after thinking about it, he gave up on this idea. First, he would see how he would be arranged, and then he would make plans. Moreover, even if he found the Spirit Stone here, he wouldn't have the chance to obtain it.
The cave was very long. Under the lead of He San and the others, Wang Xiao walked for nearly an hour, but he still could not reach the end.
This cave tunnel was really going to be long. One must know that after walking for an hour, he still could not reach the end. Was it not long enough?
As time passed, they walked deeper and deeper. At the same time, the temperature also became lower and lower.
Logically speaking, under such low temperatures and cold conditions, ordinary people would not be able to survive. However, because of the laborers who had been working hard, they did not feel cold.
For example, in winter, if one were to stand outside, one would definitely feel very cold and shiver from the cold. However, if you were working or exercising, you would not feel so cold.
When Wang Xiao entered the underground tunnel excavated by the Underground Martial Guild, he felt that the construction of the underground tunnel was very vast and very impressive.
However, when he personally entered this place, he discovered that there was a huge gap between the tunnels of the Underground Martial Guild and this place.
However, the paths of the Underground Martial Guild were bright and were known by the martial artists of the world. This place was dark and light was not allowed to be seen. Very few people knew about the existence of this place.
"Drip, drip!"
"Drip, drip!"
In front of the quiet cave, the sound of dripping water could be heard. In the cave, the sound of dripping water was very quiet and clear. It appeared in Wang Xiao and the others' ears.
The quiet sound of the drop of water, coupled with the situation in the cave, was really a perfect match.
Listening to the sound of the drop of water in the cave, Wang Xiao's mind was very calm. It was very quiet, as if he had forgotten everything around him and the current situation. It was as if the world was silent, and only the sound of the drop of water could be heard.
It was as if the world was so quiet, so quiet. There was no sound at all, only the sound of the drop of water in front of him.
"Drip! Drip!"
"Tick! Tick!"
...
The rhythm of the quiet dripping water was getting closer and closer. It was getting faster and faster, and the sound was getting louder and louder. Previously, he could only faintly hear it, but later on, he could clearly hear it.
Perhaps it was because Wang Xiao and the others were getting closer and closer to the dripping sound, so they could hear it more and more clearly. When they could hear the dripping water carefully, the temperature in the cave was even colder than before.
Hee San and the other experts treated the sound of the drop of water calmly.
However, they were already used to everything here. Let alone the sound of the dripping water, Even if a lot of coolies died here, they would still treat it as normal. It was normal, and there was nothing to be surprised about.
Drops of water splashed on the ground. So this was where the drops of water came from. The sound of the dripping water came from here.
Water droplets the size of white beans quickly dripped down from the top of the mountain.
As the water droplets fell and hit the ground, they splashed out one sparkling and translucent water droplet after another.0
A small puddle appeared on the ground. Wang Xiao looked up curiously. How could there be water droplets here? When he looked up, he saw a few white pillars hanging from the top of the mountain.
No, those were not pillars, but ice. Yes, it was indeed ice, pure white ice. As the temperature here was very low, it froze. Ice appeared on top of the mountain, and the ice slowly melted. As a result, crystal clear water droplets continuously dripped down.
The temperature in the cave was very low. Otherwise, ice wouldn't have appeared.
Those hardworking people who had lived here for a long time didn't receive any good treatment. Those who were physically strong might be able to live for a few years. As for those who were physically weak, they could only live for a few months or a year.
"Yu Qiang kid, let's go over there." Hee San pointed to the right and said.
It turned out that there was a fork in the tunnel in this direction. Wang Xiao had been paying attention to the ice on the top of the mountain. That was why he hadn't noticed the fork.
However, this fork could not compare to the main road in terms of height and width.
"Brat Yu Qiang, be quick and don't hesitate. You've already reached here, so there's nothing to worry about." Hee San said with dissatisfaction.
