"What are you looking at? Why aren't you leaving?"
Xiao Lang's heart was racing, he desperately wanted to immediately search for the Black Scale Family and rescue Dongfang Hongdou. Qing Ming also pushed Xiao Lang. Xiao Lang could only clench his teeth and take another look at the portrait, then followed the blood armored guard towards the distance.
Along the way, Xiao Lang was no longer in the mood to look at the scenery. He silently followed the blood armored guards and ran forward.
"Greetings, Sir!"
Entering a small hall within the castle, there were three people, one sitting and two dressed in blood-red armor, the guards immediately knelt down and bowed respectfully. Seeing that Xiao Lang and Qing Ming had not moved, the guard swept his cold gaze across them slightly. Xiao Lang and Qing Ming could only helplessly follow suit and pay their respects.
"Two rookies have come?"
The big guy who was sitting casually swept over them with a teacup and asked the two beside him, "Where have you been recently?"
One of the Warrior beside him immediately responded respectfully, "Reporting to Sir, Young Master Po Xie has already instructed us to bring all the newcomers to his mines!"
The elder was shocked and immediately put down the teacup in his hand and explained, "Young Master Po Xie gave an explanation? Then what are you still standing there for? Hurry and send it! "
The blood armored guards looked at the two of them pitifully, causing Xiao Lang and Qing Ming's hearts to thump loudly. They had a bad feeling, could there be a problem with the Young Master Po Xie's mines?
"You guys come with me to Broken Footwear Manor!"
Then, they walked directly towards the outside. Xiao Lang and Qing Ming followed behind, a little perturbed. Outside, someone had long prepared a carriage, but it was another seven to eight meters long Devil Wolf.
"Up!"
The guard shouted coldly to Xiao Lang then floated up to the carriage, and shouted to the Devil Wolf: Go to the northern suburbs, Broken Shoes Manor!
The Devil Wolf was very intelligent, it actually did not need anyone to control it and moved forward. The horse carriage galloped along at a breakneck speed, faster than the Warrior s of various dukes. Even the passersby who saw the horse carriage on the road made way for it.
An hour had passed before the carriage exited the North City gate, so one could imagine just how large the Heaven Breaking City was. Xiao Lang and Qing Ming did not dare to look around, and could only quietly observe the scenery through the carriage's window.
The carriage travelled for five days and five nights, passing by countless tall mountains and forests, finally arriving at the depths of a large mountain.
"Down!"
The armored guard shouted out coldly and ran downwards. Xiao Lang and Qing Ming came down with their mouths wide open in shock at the scene before them.
What he saw was a huge mountain. There was no top to be seen and neither side of it could be seen. However, it looked as if it had been split in half. It was as if there were countless eyes, at this moment, there were countless Warrior s coming in and out of the hole, it felt like a giant beehive.
In the air, near the manor, countless guards in blood-red armor were patrolling and guarding every cave entrance. With one glance, one could tell that there were at least hundreds of thousands of slaves and mining slaves.
This is the mine?" What kind of ore was being dug here? He actually used so many people? This young master with broken shoes has such power? "Could it be the young master of Heaven Breaking Palace?
Xiao Lang and Qing Ming looked around in shock, the two of them had completely turned into country bumpkins, and very quickly a group of blood armored guards flew over, and started to converse with the blood armored guard.
"Come with us, serve in the mine for half a year. If you complete the mission every month, you can receive your Tianzhou and soul imprint after half a year!"
The guards that came with Xiao Lang and the others exchanged words for a while before they left. The group of armored guards flew out as one of them shouted to the two of them.
Xiao Lang asked in confusion, "Half a year? Isn't it three months? "
"Shut up!"
The man shouted coldly with murderous intent in his eyes, "You can only listen and do what you want here. If you dare to disobey my orders, you will be killed!"
"You ?"
Xiao Lang was furious. How dare a small Second Stage Warrior act so arrogantly? It would be strange if you didn't destroy your Divine Soul Sea. Qing Ming, however, immediately pulled on Xiao Lang's hand. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, there were tens of thousands of blood armored guards here. Furthermore, the villa must have countless Human Emperor Stage Expert guarding it.
Xiao Lang held his breath and lowered his head, the blood armored Warrior sneered, and flew towards the manor in the distance. Xiao Lang and Qing Ming entered the villa and received two tokens and one Sumeru Ring. Under the explanation of the old man in the manor, they understood what the two of them wanted to do.2
Mining, Illusory Stone mine!
This mountain range was a gigantic Spiritual Vein that contained countless Illusory Stone. Xiao Lang and Qingming's mission was to dig a hundred thousand Illusory Stone a month. If the mission was not completed by that time, the length of his military service would be extended by three months! If he didn't complete the mission in a year, he would die of old age here ?
Xiao Lang and Qing Ming's Sumeru Ring were not taken away, but they were all sealed by the old man. The old man even gave the two of them a new Sumeru Ring, which contained food, water and mining tools. There aren't many rules at Shoe Manor. As long as they could hand over the Illusory Stone on time and not run around, they would be able to walk around freely. Of course, if they were to randomly barge in or run away, they would definitely kill them after discovering them.
What made Xiao Lang and Qing Ming confused was that the old man in the manor had not told them anything. He could not hide the Illusory Stone, could not refine it by himself, could he? Although the two Sumeru Ring were sealed, how could Qing Ming refine the Illusory Stone so easily to obtain energy?
The two of them could not figure it out and could only walk around outside of the manor for a while. Finally, they decided to investigate inside the mine. Although there were countless courtyards here, it was obvious that Xiao Lang and Qing Ming, who were the lowest level slaves, were not qualified to enter. This was the only manor that they could enter, and they had to submit their Illusory Stone s at the end of the month to be able to enter.
They casually flew into a cave, and the two of them walked inside. Little White had been hiding inside Xiao Lang's sleeves the entire time, and only now did he dare to poke his head out and look around curiously.
The mine was very big, and there were white gems lighting up the ceiling. The black rocks gave off a cold glow as they ran all the way inside. After walking for a short distance, he found that the mine was divided into two. Soon, they split into two, one extending downwards.
The two of them did not stop. After running for less than an hour, the tunnels became crisscrossed. The tunnel ahead began to show signs of excavation, potholes. After running for a while, they finally saw a shadow. There were several warriors digging at the wall with their pickaxes. They were only able to break a small piece of stone with their full strength each time.
"Why is this rock so hard?"
Xiao Lang and Qing Ming were secretly shocked, out of the five or six people in front, the strongest was at the Zhuwang Stage realm, so much so that they could only smash a small piece of stone to pieces.
At first, Xiao Lang had thought that paying a hundred thousand magic stones a month was just a small matter. But now that he saw them mining, he was panic-stricken. If one didn't have enough Mirage Stones after a year, one could only die of old age in the mines.
When the six men saw Xiao Lang and Qing Ming looking at them from afar, they immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at the two.
Xiao Lang and Qing Ming immediately left and started using their consciousness to investigate the entire way. In the end, the two discovered that the black boulder could stop their consciousness from probing in. Even Xiao Lang, with such a powerful soul, could only sense about one meter.
"There is the aura of the Illusory Stone here!"
After running for tens of thousands of metres, Xiao Lang suddenly stopped. Qing Ming immediately took out the pick from the Sumeru Ring, poured Profound Qi into the black stone and smashed it down.
However, Qing Ming had only smashed a fist-sized black rock with his attack. He looked unbelievably at the pick in his hand and the black stone wall with the big fist-sized hole on it. He said with a sad face: "Xiaolanglang, this stone is so hard, we don't even have to look for Illusory Stone, even if we keep digging non-stop, it would be heaven-defying if we could dig ten thousand stones a month ?"
