Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

"It shouldn't be the case. Besides, I saw that spiritual ore and it was indeed newly dug out."

Zhang Chen recalled the scene at that time and felt that Xiao Ta would not be able to make up such a lie on the spur of the moment.

Then Zhang Chen looked at the two soldiers and said:

"How long have you been here?"

“It’s been almost a year.”

"Has anything unusual happened during this period?"

Zhang Chen thought about it and asked again.

"Unusual? Does this outside thing count?"

The frozen one said cautiously.

"I'm asking about what happened in here."

Zhang Chen pointed into the valley.

"Nothing unusual seems to happen?"

The frozen man looked thoughtful and nervously at Zhang Chendao.

"A few months ago, the deepest tunnel No. 4 collapsed, killing all the miners and soldiers in it. Does this count?"

The one kneeling on the ground suddenly spoke, and the soldier next to him trembled when he heard it.

Zhang Chen looked at him curiously and asked:

"What's the situation in Mine Tunnel No. 4?"

The soldier kneeling on the ground looked panicked and seemed very scared, but he still stammered:

"We don't know much about the No. 4 tunnel, except that there were only three tunnels here before, and then a vein was discovered in the No. 3 tunnel, so another tunnel was opened next to it.

But we didn’t expect that just when we mined the first batch of ore, a collapse occurred when we were about to mine the second batch, killing many people. We were then ordered not to talk about the No. 4 mine tunnel or inquire about it. Before, there was a curious person who secretly went to the No. 4 mine tunnel. After being discovered, the general executed him in front of everyone. After that, no one dared to talk about the No. 4 mine tunnel anymore. "

Zhang Chen and Sima Feng looked at each other and guessed that the spiritual mine was most likely in the No. 4 mine tunnel.

Feeling that he knew almost everything, Zhang Chen condensed ice needles in his hands and shot them directly at the two people. Before they could react, the ice needles pierced their Yuzhen acupoints, and they fainted immediately.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Zhang Chen greeted Sima Feng, then walked towards the gate, pushed it open and walked in.

What comes into view are three paths, left, right and center, corresponding to the two hills on the left and right and the valley in the middle.

After Zhang Chen weighed the pros and cons, the two of them walked towards the middle road. Less than a minute later, they saw a flat ground in front of them with many wooden houses built on it. Several people were cooking on the ground, and the smoke in the valley was rising from here.

Seeing Zhang Chen and Sima Feng coming, those people stopped what they were doing, looked at them in surprise, and then looked at the wooden room nearby.

Just at this moment, a man in a long robe walked out of the room with a lazy look in his eyes. He was stretching and looking over here, and suddenly saw Zhang Chen and Sima Feng walking slowly.

His eyes were startled, as if he was feeling strange, and then he immediately shouted loudly:

"Stop, who are you? Who let you in?"

Zhang Chen and the other man turned a deaf ear and continued walking forward.

"How dare you! Someone, someone, someone..."

Seeing that Zhang Chen and the other man ignored him, he instantly became angry and started shouting loudly. Soon, more than a dozen people ran out from several rooms not far away, each holding a steel knife, and ran towards him. As they approached, they bowed and saluted, saying in unison:

"Meet General Yuwen."

The man called General Yuwen raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Chen and Sima Feng not far away and said:

"Get them for me."

More than a dozen people turned their heads to look at Zhang Chen and Sima Feng, and rushed towards them fiercely with long swords in their hands.

Looking at the dozen people rushing over, Sima Feng sneered, and then said to Zhang Chen:

"Junior brother, wait for me."

Then he took out a bow and arrow from his storage bag and aimed it directly at a dozen people. After a few whooshing sounds, all of the dozen people were shot and fell to the ground. Sima Feng only pulled the bow three times and knocked down all of the dozen people. He fired three arrows at a time, and each arrow could basically shoot two people in a row. Two arrows even pierced through three people directly.

Such a magical skill frightened the general silly. He stared blankly at the dozen people lying on the ground and had not yet come to his senses. At this time, he saw Sima Feng pulling the bow again and aiming the arrow at him.

“Don’t…don’t, I…”

He looked at Sima Feng's drawn bow with a horrified expression, not knowing how this could happen. Before he could finish his words, Sima Feng's arrow had already shot towards him.

After Sima Feng shot the arrow, he put away the bow without even looking at it again. He said to Zhang Chen calmly:

"Let's go."

Then the two of them walked forward. The people who were cooking looked at General Yuwen, and saw blood slowly oozing out of his forehead. Then with a bang, he fell straight to the ground, his eyes wide open, and an expression of fear on his face.

Several people looked at each other, then immediately dropped the cooking tools in their hands and ran towards the valley entrance.

Zhang Chen and Sima Feng walked for a few more minutes, during which time they encountered several waves of patrolling soldiers, who were directly knocked unconscious by Zhang Chen's ice needles.

Soon the two men arrived at the foot of the mountain. The road led to a large cave. Zhang Chen saw more than a dozen fully armed soldiers standing on both sides of the cave. From time to time, ragged young men and old men came out of the cave carrying stones, then poured the stones in their loads onto the ground on one side and then went back into the cave.

There was a man in linen clothes next to him, with fierce eyes and a long whip in his hand. The people carrying loads looked at him with fear when they passed by him.

At this time, a young man stumbled and bumped into the mountain wall, dropping the stones on his load. The man in linen clothes saw this, his eyes were fierce, he walked over with a whip in his hand, and whipped him hard.

"Ah, ah..."

A scream was heard, and the young man fell directly to the ground. The load also fell to the side, and the clothes on the back soon turned red. The other people carrying the loads looked at the beaten young man with sympathy, but none of them dared to plead for mercy.

"Hehe, you still dare to be sneaky."

The man in linen clothes had a grim smile on his face and raised the whip in his hand, ready to hit him again. At this time, a man in his fifties came out of the cave. The load he was carrying was shaking and he looked very reluctant. He was skinny and looked like he would fall down at any time. After he saw the person being beaten, his face changed drastically. He shouted, threw the load aside, and then pounced on him.

"Son, you bastards will get your comeuppance sooner or later."

The old man looked at the blood oozing out of his son's back and cursed at the sackcloth man who was whipping him.

"You old thing, you are really tired of living."

Then he whipped the old man hard with the whip. The other people who were carrying loads turned their heads away in pity. Looking at the old man's condition, they thought he could not bear the whip.

The old man had been prepared and closed his eyes, but the expected whip did not come.

When the old man opened his eyes, he saw the whip right in front of him. He looked over in confusion and discovered that there seemed to be a layer of white frost on the sackcloth man's hands. His entire arm was frozen and he could not whip him at all.

Everyone showed surprised and strange expressions. The man in sackcloth also had a panicked look. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation and he had no idea what was going on.
