Yi Yi, the captain of the Tianlong Corps, learned that Skeleton King and Ye Fan were going to free some of the mine slaves. He also followed them and looked very strange.
Among the mining slaves in Zhulong Mountain, some were from the Zixuan Dynasty. They were sergeants from various corps of the dynasty who were captured during the battle with the Beast Alliance and were sold to Zhulong Mountain.
In addition to the big goal of the Zhulong Sacred Cave, the Tianlong Corps also had an additional small goal, which was to bring back those sergeants who were unfortunately captured and became slaves in the mines.
This was a normal move, but Yi Yi was deeply surprised by the actions of the two ghost kings, "Why do you want to save the mine slaves?... It's strange, you are ghost kings, how can you help the human mine slaves."
"Before I became a ghost cultivator, I was a native of the Canglan Kingdom. Those slaves who were sold to the Canglan Kingdom's mines were all old people from the past. If you don't know, that's fine. Since you know that there are mining slaves from the Canglan Kingdom, naturally Let them out."
Ye Fan explained in a low voice.
"Oh, that's it. It seems that this ghost brother is nostalgic for his old friendship! It just so happens that some sergeants in our Imperial Corps were captured as mining slaves and released together."
Yi Yi's eyes flashed with light and he smiled faintly.
It is also strange that this black-robed ghost king still misses the old friendship from his previous life.
…
Deep in Zhulong Mountain, deep in a hidden mine tunnel, there is a large and spacious cave.
Thousands of mining slaves from Canglan Kingdom were scattered in twos and threes, sitting or standing, and their morale was a bit low.
Some mine slaves were guarding the exit of the mine tunnel with shovels in their hands, while the rest were building fortifications urgently in the mine tunnel, recuperating, resting, and discussing strategies to deal with the enemy.
This matter is a long story. A rich mine occupied by the mining slaves of Canglan Kingdom has been mined for nearly a year, and its output has gradually decreased. It is estimated that it will be exhausted in another year and a half.
For this reason, they had to find other ways to open up new mines.
Not long ago, they discovered a new mineral vein nearby and were preparing to dig.
However, they were soon discovered by the strongest mining tyrants in the mine, who clamored that this new mineral vein belonged to them, and no one was allowed to mine it without the permission of Leader Li.
If you want to mine it, you must provide them with supplies.
In order to compete for the mines, the two sides fought fiercely, killing and injuring many mining slaves.
The mining slaves of Canglan Country suffered heavy losses, and many of them were injured. Of course, the other party didn't get much benefit, and many mine slaves died.
The three sisters Mu Bing, Qin Yu'er, and Cao Youwen, as well as Jiang Youxi, Ao Lie, and Hao Ziming and other leaders of the Canglan Kingdom's martial princes gathered in the large cave to discuss countermeasures.
"This rogue, I have to kill him! It's obviously a new mineral vein we discovered, why should we give it to them! If you dare to rob it, then fight with them!"
Qin Yuer's pretty face was extremely angry, and her jade hands were clenched and turned white.
She habitually touched her lower back, but found nothing. Her usual short blade has been disarmed by the Butcher Gang, and only the mining shovel can be used.
Cao Youwen suffered a knife wound on her arm, and Mu Bing was dressing her wound.
"This fierce man is the leader of the largest mining slave force in Zhulong Mountain. He has dominated the mines for thirty or forty years. He is an extremely senior mining slave. There are rumors that he seems to have become the King of Martial Arts, but few people have seen him. Only a few of his cronies have seen him take action before. His men alone have assembled a large group of very strong Wuhou late-stage masters, which are very difficult to deal with. This time he just sent a group of Wuhou's men to attack us. We have suffered a disastrous defeat and come back. If he takes action in person, it will probably be a disaster. Our strength is still far behind theirs. Although they are domineering, we must endure it for the time being!"
Hao Ziming looked sad.
After staying in this Zhulong Mountain mine for nearly a year, he has long been familiar with the situation here. Including the strength of other mine slaves, we really can't easily provoke the strongest mine slave.
Mu Bing took a small glass of water from her animal skin bag and gave it to Cao Youwen to drink.
Cao Youwen licked her chapped lips, looked at the water glass and wanted to drink, but finally shook her head and refused to drink, "Sister Bing, my injury is not a problem. We have too little water, so let's give it to others who need it. ."
In this Zhulong Mountain mine tunnel, nothing is more precious than water.
In particular, there are mine slaves who are poisoned by fire. In order to expel and suppress the fire poison in their bodies, they must have a lot of water. In this Zhulong Mountain mine, water is far more precious than fifth- and sixth-grade ores.
For the sake of a skin bag of water, the mining slaves would fight tooth and nail to grab it.
Mu Bing insisted on letting her drink the small glass of water.
"Youwen, your injury must be healed as soon as possible without delay. You are Huo Wuhou. It is very beneficial to practice in this Zhulong Mountain. You are the one among us who has the most hope of breaking through to the realm of King Wu! If you can break through the realm of Fire King in one fell swoop, King Martial, we are not afraid of other mining slave forces at all, so we can survive in this Zhulong Mine!"
Cao Youwen couldn't resist it, so she finally drank the glass of water.
Mu Bing smiled happily, her face was a little haggard and stained with a lot of mining dust, but she still couldn't hide her grace.
Everyone has been having a hard time these past few years, but at least everyone is still alive, right?
As long as you are alive, there is always a glimmer of hope.
"Now we should come up with an idea as soon as possible. Should we continue to fight with them, or negotiate with them? With our strength of three thousand people, although we will suffer losses if we continue to fight, they will still die a lot of people, and they will not get much benefit. . I estimate that they may not be willing to fight. There are other mining slave forces, big and small, watching in this mine! If they suffer serious losses, many mining slaves will take the opportunity to take action with a little provocation. "
Jiang Youxi glanced at the dozens of Wuhou present and analyzed calmly.
He is a priest, but he has been familiar with the factional struggles of the city lords since he was a child, and he is familiar with them.
"Yes, we compromised this time. Next time they will ride on our necks and run wild! Just find an opportunity, take the initiative, and fight them again!"
Ao Lie sat alone with a gloomy face and said coldly.
He has always been so strong and no one cares.
Hao Ziming sighed and shook his head: "It's a bad idea to start a war. They have twice as many people as us... But this is not the most important thing. What we are most afraid of is Li Meng. If he is really King Wu, then we will be in big trouble. "
Cao Youwen sighed quietly, "Oh, if only Brother Ye was here...!"
yes!
If Ye Fan were here, everything would not be the situation in front of him.
Everyone in Canglan Kingdom fell into silence for a while, falling into endless longing, and some even sobbed lightly.
No one in Canglan Country does not know Ye Fan, not to mention that they are all close relatives and old friends of Ye Fan, and some of them are Ye Fan's generals.
…
"Report——!"
Everyone in Canglan Kingdom was just thinking about something, when suddenly a mining slave rushed in from outside, looking extremely panicked.
This person is a military spy of the Canglan Kingdom. He used to be responsible for the investigation of the Canglan army, and now he is still responsible for detecting the movements of other mining slave forces in the mine.
"No, something big happened!"
The spies shouted, rolling and crawling into the mine tunnel.
"What's the big deal?"
Everyone was shocked.
The spies were in such a panic that something big was about to happen.
"Li Meng's men failed to beat us to submission. After we retreated, Li Meng became furious and personally led a large group of mining slaves under him to kill us. He brought a total of six to seven thousand mining slaves with him, and they were at the level of Wuhou There are no less than three to four hundred people, and they are coming towards our mine quickly! Several of the spies I deployed at the entrances and exits of more than a dozen mines have already died."
The spy said hurriedly.
"Since the people named Li are coming to fight, let's fight them! We have already prepared fortifications in the mine tunnel to fight them."
Jiang Youxi's face turned pale and she suddenly stood up.
Everyone in Canglan Kingdom rushed out of the resting place and headed to the mine tunnel to fight.
A bloody battle between the two mining slave forces is about to break out.
