Douluo: I have a lucky magic dice

Chapter 104: Black Gold City, a corpse that died from swallowing gold!
Wang Dong pursed his lips slightly. He really couldn't refute what was said. After all, his strength was indeed not as good as Ji Xinghe. This guy was too perverted.

Ji Xinghe patted Wang Dong on the shoulder and said, "Alright, don't get involved in this matter. There is a fundamental difference between the Third Ring Road and the Fourth Ring Road."

It sounds like you are not a Three-Ring Soul Master!
Wang Dong looked at Ji Xinghe helplessly, then turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, I'm going to practice now. No one can look down on me for my cultivation level. Ji Xinghe, just wait for me!"

Wang Dong has lived a privileged life since he was a child, and his family has never forced him to practice. Even so, his cultivation level has continued to improve. However, he did not expect that after arriving at Shrek, he would be suppressed to the point where he could not even raise his head. How could he tolerate this?
Ji Xinghe smiled and said, "Okay, by the way, please ask for leave for Teacher Zhou for me."

Wang Dong turned around and walked backwards while raising his index finger and said, "Okay, you owe me a favor."

"Thanks!"

Ji Xinghe smiled, then looked at Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan and said, "Tell me the details of this mission."

Jiang Nannan nodded gently and said, "This mission is to Black Gold City, which is 50 kilometers away from Shrek City. Black Gold City is named after a black gold stone mine outside the city. It is a rare metal deposit. Black Gold City is originally under the jurisdiction of Shrek Academy. However, seven days ago, miners in the black gold stone mine disappeared one after another. By the time they reported to the academy, more than 20 miners had disappeared."

Jiang Nannan's words made Ji Xinghe frown slightly, and he immediately asked: "If there are no signs of soul beasts, then it must be man-made, an evil soul master?"

Jiang Nannan shook her head and said, "Only staff can enter and exit the Black Gold Mine on weekdays, and the Shrek City Defense Force is stationed there. They did not find any traces of the evil soul master. The detailed information is in this intelligence."

As she spoke, Jiang Nannan also took out the information about this mission and handed it to Ji Xinghe. Ji Xinghe glanced at the information, and all the information on it immediately came into his eyes. There are three families in Black Gold City, the Cha family, the Ka family, and the Bu family. The Cha family, which currently controls the mine, is the largest family in Black Gold City. At the same time, their family also has a very cooperative relationship with Shrek Academy.

Ji Xinghe handed the information back to Jiang Nannan, then looked at Tang Ya and said, "Where's Beibei? When are we leaving?"

Tang Ya said: "Beibei went to prepare the flying soul guide. Our college's Jubao Pavilion has a rental service, where you can rent some soul guides that are not disposable."

Not long after, Bei Bei also came over. He looked at Ji Xinghe and said with a smile: "I knew you wouldn't give up such an opportunity."

Ji Xinghe also replied: "It's a chance to get credits for free, don't miss it."

"Haha." Beibei laughed and said, "In that case, let's get ready to leave right away. I originally wanted to go after today, but seeing that Xinghe is so confident, I won't waste any time."

Those below the title of Shrek City were not allowed to fly unless it was an emergency, otherwise they would be held accountable by the Shrek City Defense Forces, so the four of them left Shrek City first. On a mound outside Shrek City, Beibei took out four iron-gray flying soul guides from the storage soul guide on his wrist.

"You should be able to use this, right?" Beibei had also heard a lot about Ji Xinghe from Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan. She knew that this guy was not only a powerful soul master, but also a blacksmith, and was quite knowledgeable about soul guides.

"of course."

Ji Xinghe put on the foot covers skillfully, and then controlled the fourth-level flying soul guide to slowly rise into the air. Beibei watched this scene and nodded slightly. He knew that with Ji Xinghe's strength, using the fourth-level flying soul guide would not be a problem. This was one of the reasons why Beibei decided to invite Ji Xinghe this time.

After everyone took off, Bei Bei also came to Ji Xinghe and said, "Is there no room for easing the situation between you and Xu Sanshi?"

"Do you want to be a peacemaker?" Ji Xinghe looked at Beibei with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Beibei shook his head slightly and said, "I have a good relationship with him, but it's just a good one. It's not my turn to stand up for him. I just want to remind you that the Xuanwu Sect behind Xu Sanshi has developed very rapidly in recent years. Their sect is very powerful. If you want to fight him to the death, you'd better consider the forces behind him. There is no fairness in this world, even in Shrek Academy."

Beibei's words were full of affection. Ji Xinghe nodded and said, "I know exactly what I am doing. I also know that the forces behind him are powerful. But for now, at least I will not confront the forces behind him head-on. Besides, who can predict what will happen in the future? Maybe my power will be even greater than that of the Xuanwu Sect in the future."

"Am I right?"

Ji Xinghe smiled at Beibei.

Bei Bei was stunned when he heard this. Surpassing Xuanwu Sect? Surpassing a top sect on the continent that has a Super Douluo or even an Ultimate Douluo?

He had no idea how much land, population, and wealth such a sect controlled. Even without mentioning these, simply talking about the strength of the elders of the Xuanwu Sect was enough to suffocate him to death.

This……

This can't be described as wishful thinking, this guy's ideas are really wild and unrestrained.

But then again, this guy's background has not been fully revealed. He is a three-ring soul master with three ten thousand year soul rings. Could the Body Sect be behind him?

Beibei knew that Ji Xinghe's martial soul was a special kind of body martial soul. If the Body Sect was really behind him, then everything would make sense.

The Body Sect is not afraid of the Xuanwu Sect. As both sects rose to prominence four thousand years ago, the Body Sect is even stronger than the Xuanwu Sect.

Beibei heard this from his ancestor himself. The ancestor's tone was a little exasperated at the time, as if he was scolding some old poisonous creature from the Body Sect for not having martial ethics. Beibei clearly remembered that the ancestor was seriously injured after that incident. Although the man from the Body Sect must have been seriously injured as well, this alone was enough to show how terrifying the Body Sect was.

Taking all this into consideration, Bei Bei also looked at Ji Xinghe deeply. He felt that the young man in front of him was somewhat unfathomable.

……

There was no conversation along the way. Fifty kilometers was less than an hour's journey for those equipped with a fourth-level flying soul guide. This was when they did not use their full soul power. At this time, Ji Xinghe also realized that Cui Jing had been holding back when she led him. If a seven-ringed soul saint drove the flying soul guide at full speed, her speed would only be faster.

Ji Xinghe put his hands on the pergola and looked at the huge black shadow in the distance and said, "Is this the black gold mine?" Ji Xinghe thought about it in his mind. Black gold is a rare metal with the attribute of darkness, and can accommodate a large amount of soul power. It is often used as the raw material for the core array of soul guide ray guns and has always been in short supply in the market. The price of one kilogram of black gold is about three silver soul coins. If it is forged and processed, its price will immediately soar.

Gudong.

Ji Xinghe couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he looked at the mine in front of him. This was not a mine at all, it was clearly a mountain of gold and silver. Even the silver mine was not as valuable as the black gold mine.

"The academy is really rich." Ji Xinghe sighed from the bottom of his heart. An academy with its own army, its own city and minerals. The academy is at the peak of its powers.

Unexpectedly, Beibei smiled and said, "The academy has accumulated more than ten thousand years of industry. In addition to the main city of Shrek, the academy also controls more than ten cities on the borders of the two empires. Except for Nanxing City, which is surrounded by the Star Forest, all other cities have mineral deposits. So the academy is not as rich as a country, but to a certain extent, it is also the richest force outside the three empires."

Ji Xinghe suddenly laughed and said, "A tall tree attracts the wind. It seems that the academy has also caused a lot of trouble in recent years."

Bei Bei looked at Ji Xinghe in surprise and said, "You can see it clearly. Indeed, the academy has made many enemies over the years, but they are not mortal enemies. Except for the evil soul master sect Holy Spirit Church, the academy has no mortal enemies. The ones that exist are actually conflicts of interest!"

Beibei sighed anxiously and said, "Seizing someone's money is like killing their parents. The wealth and power controlled by the academy are coveted and feared by the empire and major forces. The academy has been having a harder and harder time these years. If it weren't for the intimidation of the elders, those villains would have been unable to resist and would have attacked the academy."

"Is the situation so serious?" Ji Xinghe was a little surprised.

Bei Bei nodded and said, "I know some inside information. Although it seems calm on the surface, the academy has actually fought with many forces in private. Now the frequency of missions for teachers above the third grade and the seniors in the inner courtyard is getting higher and higher. Most of the time, they are either dealing with evil soul masters or confronting other forces. Alas, I don't know how it will develop in the end."

Ji Xinghe remained silent, his desire for strength becoming more and more urgent. Although he did not have much sense of belonging to Shrek Academy yet, even if it was just for himself, he had to make himself stronger as soon as possible.

After taking off their flying soul guides, the four of them made their way to Black Gold City.

Beibei was responsible for negotiating with the staff at the black gold mine, and they arrived at the black gold mine as they wished.

"You are finally here."

A group of people wearing work clothes and combat uniforms came forward with eager eyes and surrounded Ji Xinghe and others. Many people set their eyes on Jiang Nannan. She was so beautiful. They had never seen such a fairy-like person before. Many miners were stunned.

Just as the city defense soldiers in combat uniforms were about to open their mouths to scold, Ji Xinghe took two steps forward.

“I don’t know what the situation is now.”

Ji Xinghe spoke calmly, and his words "Ding Fengbo" immediately made these grown men regain their clarity of mind. At the same time, they all felt nervous. The voice like a loud bell just now actually came out of the mouth of such a young man. He was worthy of being a top student of Shrek Academy. These workers immediately restrained their expressions and became serious one by one. The city defense troops were also relieved when they saw this. If there was a conflict between the two sides, it would be difficult to deal with.

"All the missing people have been found." A tall and strong middle-aged man came forward. His skin was slightly dark and his work clothes were covered with stains.

"What's your name, big brother? How did you find these people? What happened in the mine? Was it caused by spirit beasts or human beings?" Ji Xinghe got to the point. Seeing Ji Xinghe being so knowledgeable, the middle-aged man immediately said, "I'm Li Xiang, the foreman here. You can just call me Lao Li. We've already reported the general situation here. At first, one person disappeared, and the people who went to look for him also disappeared one after another. Later, no one dared to go deep into the mine. Their bodies were found at the entrance of the mine this morning. Please, I'll take you to the morgue."

Old Li brought Ji Xinghe and the other three to a greenhouse, which was filled with corpses covered with white cloth. Fortunately, Ji Xinghe and the other three had seen blood before, so they were not surprised by this scene.

"Strange, they all seem to have died of gluttony?"

After Ji Xinghe released his Heavenly Eye, he scanned the surroundings and soon discovered something strange about the corpses.

"How did you know that, young man?" Old Li was shocked upon seeing this. This young man looked like he came out of a painting. He didn't expect that he was so capable that he knew the symptoms of these corpses without even looking at them.

"His eyes are amazing." Beibei asked, "What did they look like when you found them at the entrance of the cave?"

At this point, Lao Li's expression immediately revealed a trace of horror. "Standing, they were all standing, just standing at the entrance of the mine, each one of them seemed to be still alive. I walked closer to check, and found that they were all dead."

"The cause of their death was swallowing black gold ore until they ate themselves to death."

Ji Xinghe frowned and spoke after putting away his spiritual detection. He then looked at Lao Li and said, "Have you found any living creatures in the mine? For example, are there any strange people? These people are obviously controlled by something. Who would swallow the black gold mine?"

Hearing this, Old Li frowned and shook his head, saying, "There is nothing in the mine except rats. As for any strange people, there are hundreds of city defense troops stationed outside, and we haven't found any strange people approaching the mine."

"So, this is just a minor accident. In that case, let's continue working this afternoon!"

Suddenly a voice came from behind the crowd. It was a fat man dressed in luxurious silk, with an unknown cigar in his mouth. He had a big belly and looked to weigh more than 300 pounds.

Old Li also said with an unpleasant expression: "Boss Cha, the talents from the academy have just arrived and they haven't found anything yet. Aren't you too impatient?"

Boss Cha frowned and snorted, "How many days have you stopped working? Tell me? How much money have I lost in the past few days? Tens of thousands of gold soul coins, I gave you the best food, the best soul guide equipment, and now just because a few people died, you keep skipping work. Do you still want to eat?"

Boss Cha took a puff of his cigar and blew out white smoke rings before continuing, "The people in the academy don't have any clues right now. If you don't start working and don't go deeper into the mine, who will know what's going on inside the mine?"

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of Boss Cha, the lives of these ordinary workers are worthless!
