The ore in front of him slowly cracked as if it had life, and a brilliant light burst out from it, illuminating the entire cave.

Xueyao watched this scene in amazement as a ball of light slowly rose from the ore. The ball of light grew larger and larger, and gradually, a translucent human figure appeared.

He was dressed in ancient clothes, had a handsome face and his eyes sparkled with wisdom.

Xue Yao's heart moved, she remembered the voice she had heard before. Could this figure be the spirit of the gem?

As expected, the gem spirit smiled at Xue Yao. His voice was gentle yet powerful. "Hello, brave adventurer. I am the guardian of this gem. In fact, I am the gem spirit, and also your new partner."

Xue Yao couldn't believe her ears. She actually owned such a magical gem and was recognized by the spirit of the gem.

She asked excitedly, "Will you really be my new partner?"

The spirit of the gem nodded, he stretched out his hand, and a ray of light was injected into Xue Yao's forehead.

The cinnabar plum blossom on her forehead sparkled brightly.

A warm power came from the hands of the gem spirit and flowed into Xueyao's body.

She felt her strength increase instantly, and her body became lighter and more flexible.

The Gem Spirit smiled and said, “From now on, we will face the challenges of the future together.

I will use my strength and wisdom to help you."

Xue Yao's heart was filled with gratitude and joy. With the help of the gem spirit, she had one more bargaining chip to overcome all future difficulties and challenges.

"Spirit of Gemstone..." Xue Yao felt strange when she said these words. "By the way, do you have a name?"

"Yes, my name is Bao Ling."

Bowring? That's a real steal. Okay, Bowring is Bowring.

"Bao Ling, you have been here for tens of thousands of years, right?"

"Yes, Master."

Xue Yao always felt a little awkward when she heard her master address her like that, but at this moment she was too lazy to dwell on it.

"Are you familiar with this mine?"

"Cooked, everything is cooked."

Xueyao's eyes suddenly widened. This was easy. The truth behind those men in black...

Xueyao believed that there must be some conspiracy or secret behind this.

As the guardian of this mine, Baoling knows everything here, and his help is crucial to him.

At this time, she heard Bao Ling say: "I'll take you somewhere first."

"Okay." Xue Yao agreed without even asking where they were going.

Bao Ling was extremely happy to have Xue Yao's trust.

Under Bao Ling's guidance, they passed through the winding passage, crossed the steep rock wall, and finally came to a hidden underground cave.

The cave exuded an eerie atmosphere, as if something was spying on them in secret.

Xue Yao gripped the sword tightly in her hand and looked around vigilantly.

Bao Ling floated quietly beside Xue Yao, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he could see through all illusions and disguises.

They walked forward cautiously, when suddenly a strange sound was heard, as if someone was whispering.

Xueyao and Baoling immediately became alert. They walked in the direction of the sound and found a secret room hidden behind a stone wall.

There were some strange instruments and talismans placed in the secret room, and some men in black were busy working.

Xueyao and Baoling approached quietly, wanting to hear what they were saying.

However, at this moment, a man in black suddenly turned around and discovered their presence.

He shouted loudly, and the other men in black turned around, revealing ferocious faces.

Xueyao and Baoling were immediately surrounded, and a fierce battle was inevitable.

Xue Yao swung her sword at the man in black, while Bao Ling released powerful energy to repel the enemy.

However, the number of men in black was too great, and they seemed to be pouring out from the depths of the secret room.

Xueyao and Baoling gradually fell into a tough battle, and they had to find a way to get rid of these enemies.

At this moment, Baoling suddenly came up with an idea.

He released a powerful beam of light, illuminating everything in the secret room.

The men in black were dazzled by the sudden light and couldn't open their eyes, so they all stopped what they were doing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xueyao and Baoling quickly rushed out of the secret room and escaped from the dangerous place.

They hid behind a huge rock, gasping for breath and recalling the thrilling experience they had just had.

"Baoling, what should we do next?" Xueyao asked.

Bao Ling pondered for a moment and said, "We need to find the leader of those men in black. Only by subduing him can we completely solve this problem."

Xueyao nodded in agreement.

So they continued to go deeper into the mine to look for the leader of the men in black.

Under Baoling's guidance, they came to a more secret place.

There is a huge stone chamber here. In the center of the chamber is a stone table with a black crystal ball on it.

A strange light emanated from the crystal ball, as if attracting something.

Xueyao and Baoling approached cautiously, and suddenly, a man in black walked out from the darkness.

He was the leader of those men in black, a middle-aged man with a sinister face.

He looked at Xueyao and Baoling coldly and said, "You finally found this place, but do you think you can defeat me?"

Xueyao and Baoling looked at each other and saw the determination and courage in each other's eyes.

Xue Yao swung her sword and rushed towards the leader of the men in black, while Bao Ling released powerful energy and quickly subdued the leader of the men in black.

Action is faster than thinking. Xue Yao believes that this is the best way to deal with the leader of the men in black.

After subduing the leader of the men in black, Xueyao and Baoling learned the truth from him.

It turns out that this mine was once an ancient treasure trove, containing endless wealth and power.

However, these wealth and power also attracted the covetousness of countless greedy people.

The leader of the men in black is one of them. He uses this mine to carry out various illegal activities in an attempt to take the wealth here for himself.

Although he did not gain any power, he was satisfied with the wealth he had obtained.

He has brought out a lot of ores from here, exchanged them for a lot of silver, and built several large houses.

Later, for some unknown reason, he was discovered by a high-ranking official.

The high-ranking official coveted the wealth here and wanted to take it for himself, but was afraid that the matter would be exposed and lead to the court's investigation.

So, he secretly colluded with the leader of the men in black and asked him to continue his illegal activities in the mine. He said he would give the leader of the men in black a share of the profits, but in fact he wanted the leader of the men in black to serve him.

In order to conceal the truth, the officials even sent people to seal off the mine and prevent outsiders from entering.

In this way, the secret of the mine was kept hidden until Xueyao and Baoling arrived.

After hearing the confession of the leader of the men in black, Xueyao and Baoling were shocked and angry.

Baoling nodded. She knew everything he said.

Bao Ling looked at Xue Yao and said, "Everything he said is true."

The leader of the men in black breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Xue Yao would not believe him and would kill him with a sword.
