Xiao Zhu experienced a battle with the Butterfly Fairy and was secretly attacked by Mia. Although the Sky Crocodile Armor helped him to resolve most of the attacks, he was not injured.

However, the continuous fighting and the transmission through the space cracks consumed a great deal of his spiritual power. At this time, the remaining spiritual power in his body was less than 30% of its peak state.

While collecting spirit stones, Xiao Zhu absorbed the spiritual power from the stones as he collected them, and then placed the slag that had absorbed all the spiritual power into the bamboo basket behind him.

Xiao Zhu had no good feelings towards those legendary masters, so he did not feel guilty at all when doing such a little action.

The spiritual power in this spirit stone was very abundant. After just half a day, Xiao Zhu's spiritual power had been almost restored. The bamboo baskets behind him were already full of spiritual waste, but they were all slag without spiritual power.

Seeing that Xiao Zhu was working very hard and mining very quickly, the old man Guo Ren came over and whispered in Xiao Zhu's ear: "Young man, I can see that you are working very hard, but it is enough to collect ten large baskets. Slow down a bit. No matter how much you collect, there will be no reward. There is a long way to go. Don't use up all your energy at once. No one will feel sorry for you if you get sick from exhaustion."

Hearing Guo Ren's advice, Xiao Zhu understood and nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Guo."

However, his hands did not slow down, because his main purpose was not mining, but to restore spiritual power.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion from above the mine, and someone below shouted, "The law enforcers are coming!"

Just like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, those who were originally talking, dozing, or playing in the mine immediately stopped what they were doing. All the workers started to work hard. Even those who had completed their tasks for the day pretended to be working very hard.

The three law enforcers walked down the steps to the bottom of the mine, and Xiao Zhu unexpectedly discovered that these three law enforcers were actually demon hunters! However, they were all low-level demon hunters who had only completed the first blood awakening.

This once again confirmed Xiao Zhu's inner guess that those legendary masters gave these law enforcers some small favors to make them work for them, and then used them as tools to control the vast majority of civilians in the mine.

The three law enforcers ignored the miners who were pretending to work hard. They walked straight towards Xiao Zhu, which made Xiao Zhu alert.

It’s not that Xiao Zhu is afraid of these three men, but he doesn’t know the identity and strength of the masters behind these law enforcers yet. He doesn’t want to fall out with them for the time being, so he has been using the Hidden Spirit Gu to hide his strength and pretend to be an ordinary miner.

But then, three law enforcers walked past Xiao Zhu, and their target was not Xiao Zhu.

"Guo Ren, right? Where is your son Guo Feng?" asked a law enforcement officer.

Hearing the question from the law enforcer, Guo Ren suddenly became nervous. He was already over 70 years old and was shaking with fear. He knelt on the ground and said, "Please spare my life, law enforcer. My son has dysentery and can't get out of bed today. That's why he didn't come to the mine."

"Bah! Spare my life? Not coming to the mine without permission is a capital crime. We found your son in your cellar and have executed him." Another law enforcer said coldly.

Hearing this, Guo Renru was struck by lightning and burst into tears.

"Hmph! You concealed the news that Guo Feng would not come to the mine and failed to report it to the law enforcers. You should also be sentenced to death." The first law enforcer said sternly.

Upon hearing that his only son had passed away, Guo Ren was already crying and convulsing. He didn't even care if the law enforcer said he was sentenced to death.

At this moment, a little girl's voice came: "Get out of here, don't kill my grandpa!"

The person who spoke was Guo Yingying, who was only eight years old.

Her father had been killed, and now her grandfather was her only remaining relative. In desperation, she stood up and stood in front of Guo Ren.

"Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business and get out of the way! Otherwise, I will send you to Captain Li. Captain Li likes immature little girls like you the most." A law enforcer scolded.

Hearing this, the crying old man Guo Ren rushed over, hugged Guo Yingying, and comforted her: "Yingying, go away quickly, you have nothing to do here! Grandpa will go with them, don't worry, Grandpa will be fine."

"No, grandpa, they will kill you." Guo Yingying is eight years old and she can understand many things.

"Yingying, grandpa will be fine, don't worry." Guo Ren's persuasion seemed pale and powerless.

Seeing Guo Yingying holding on to Guo Ren tightly, one of the law enforcers lost his patience and said coldly, "Drag both of them away, and execute the old man on the spot to serve as a warning to others. Let these unruly people see the consequences of violating the rules without authorization. As for the little girl, give her to Captain Li as a gift!"

Guo Ren hugged Guo Yingying tightly. At this time, two law enforcers walked up. They were both strong demon hunters. Guo Ren and Guo Yingying, one old and one young, were no match for them and were pulled apart in an instant.

The two men completely ignored their struggles and dragged them to the sides. One of the law enforcers took out a machete and prepared to kill old man Guo Ren with one blow.

At this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed, and before the three law enforcers could see clearly what was happening, their heads fell off their necks.

In front of the corpses of the three men, a tall young man stood upright. A red flame ignited at his fingertips, and with a flick of his hand, the corpses of the three men were burned to ashes.

"Killing innocent people and harming young girls is a crime that deserves death!"

The one who made the move was Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu had no intention of intervening in the affairs here, but when he saw how badly these three people behaved, especially when they wanted to harm Guo Ren and Guo Yingying, he finally couldn't help but take action against the three law enforcers.

With his strength, killing these three junior demon hunters is as easy as crushing ants.

"The law enforcers are dead! The law enforcers are dead!" Seeing the three law enforcers being killed, the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

With the eyesight of these ordinary people, they naturally could not see how these three law enforcers were killed, but when they saw Xiao Zhu stand out from the crowd and scold the three law enforcers, everyone realized that he was the one who did it.

A feeling of panic spread among the crowd. Except for Guo Ren and Guo Yingying, everyone else stepped back and kept a distance from Xiao Zhu, fearing that the matter would have anything to do with them.

But at this moment, a man suddenly called out from the crowd: "The law enforcers are dead, and we witnesses are also to blame. Why don't we unite and fight them!"

"Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?"

It seems that there are still some courageous people who stand up at the critical moment!
