"Hey! What's going on? Isn't she sleeping in the house?"

"Miss Theresa is an adventurer I hired. I have no right to interfere with what happens after her rest time."

Xiang Mingri frowned, and the anxiety in his heart grew stronger.

He thought of the last incident and would never allow such a tragedy to happen again. His heartbeat accelerated with nervousness.

"Do you know how we can find her? It's not going to be easy to keep running like this."

Akzan chased Xiang Mingri while trying to calm him down.

They were originally still in the manor, but when Xiang Mingri saw that there was no one in the room, he jumped out without hesitation.

Akzan realized that something was wrong with Xiang Mingri's mood, so he jumped out of the window with Xiang Mingri, and then the two of them ran to the back mountain.

"This mountain is too big, how are you going to find it?" Akzan asked.

Xiang Mingri did not answer, but quickly pulled off the family's sunflower emblem from his chest. One of the six triangular star shapes was emitting a faint light, which was the direction of Theresa.

He stared at the badge as he ran.

"She wears clothing with our family crest, and that will lead me to her."

"This direction looks familiar. Is it your mining area?"

"Mining area?"

Xiang Mingri looked up and saw several bright lights hanging around the trees. That was the road leading to their mining area.

Although he usually doesn't care much about the things happening in the mining area, he still needs to know what is happening there. He knows that there will be some big movements in some mining areas recently. Originally, he planned to end his relationship here completely after this payday.

A bad thought suddenly came to his mind, and he quickened his pace.

......

"Damn it, Frank. Are you happy now? Hold me up better! Do you know that whoever you hold up now will be the leader tomorrow?" Thomas cursed and limped out of the mining area.

If it weren't for the rich mineral resources, he would have destroyed it in one fell swoop.

He found a tree and sat down against it, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the night.

The moonlight shone on him, and the stars dotted the night sky. Thomas looked at the peaceful scene and temporarily forgot his fatigue and anger.

Who would care about such a small matter when he thought about the glorious future he would have? When someone asked him how he got to this position, he would have something to say about his injured leg.

"Would you like some water?"

"Okay, I've been busy all night and haven't even had time to drink a sip of water. Come on, tell me your name. That's more like it. I'll arrange a good position for you tomorrow."

Thomas stretched out his hand happily, but what greeted him was not the cool water he expected, but a sharp blade flashing with an icy white light, which instantly pierced his palm.

Xiang Mingri grabbed his collar from behind and threw him to the ground without mercy.

Thomas tried to speak, but the sharp tip of Xiang Mingri's knife was already close to his throat, leaving him no time to speak.

"I told you, I don't want to waste time on you. Tell me what happened in the mine!"

Xiang Mingri's voice was cold, the tip of the knife gently cut the skin, blood slid down the blade and dripped into the dust.

"Help! There's an enemy attack!" Thomas shouted in horror.

"Who is it? Where did they come from?"

Akzan asked sarcastically, picking up an unlucky guy, wiping the blood off his fist, and then throwing it away roughly.

Seeing this, Thomas knew that he was probably finished. His mind was thinking rapidly about how to survive. Now the only condition he could use for exchange was the information in the mining area.

"Real ink stains."

Xiang Mingri said impatiently, and with lightning speed, he slashed Thomas's neck with the blade in his hand. It was so fast that even a drop of blood could not be seen.

"He truly lives up to being called 'Xiang Yun Jian Ji' in the guild. Not only are his attacks as fast as lightning, but his temper is also incredibly impatient."

Akzan shrugged, walked to Xiang Mingri's side, looked at Thomas, who was no longer angry, and continued: "What should we do next? You kill him with a knife, who should we ask for help?"

"Aren't there people all around?"

Xiang Mingri's cold eyes, like an icy blade, slowly swept across everyone around him.

Then, he casually threw the blade in his hand, and the sharp blade drew an arc in the air and flew accurately towards the fleeing person.

The person stabbed by the blade let out a shrill cry and fell to the ground, shaking. Bright red blood gushed out from the wound, staining the ground red.

"They are all trapped in the mine! Not only Frank and his friends, but there are many other people too! Many people didn't escape! I heard that they found someone to get rid of them all! The one with red eyes!" The man screamed in horror, his voice full of the desire to survive.

"I'll go to you!"

Akzan kicked the person who was speaking away with force and drew out the long sword from his waist. The sword was immediately covered with blazing flames, shining with a dazzling red light.

He rushed to the mine entrance, raised his sword high, and roared, "Break it!"

The tip of the sword was swung out, and a stream of blazing flames shot out like a dragon, accurately hitting the huge rock blocking the mine.

The flames collided with the rocks, making a deafening roar. The rocks began to crack under the high temperature, and fragments flew everywhere.

The firelight illuminated Akzan's resolute face. Every swing shattered the rock further, and the rock turned into a pile of rubble under the continuous attacks.

Behind the rock, there was a group of people holding pickaxes, and they were slightly stunned by the current scene.

"Akjan?"

"Uncle Frank? Aren't you in Mine No. 1? How did you get here? No, no, get out now, leave this to me!"

"It's over." Frank's words made Akcan stop.

"It's over? Was it that...silent girl who defeated him?"

This was the only possibility Akcan could think of.

"The red-eyed man dragged her down the cliff with an iron chain. That was the third level, with an unfathomable depth," Frank replied.

"Can I trust you! Akjan! I can climb down little by little, and then you bring her up with a rope!"

Xiang Mingri sounded anxious and was about to rush into the mine when Akzhan grabbed his arm.

"Wait!" Akzan shouted.

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang.

"boom-!"

Several massive rocks collapsed from the cave roof, sealing the mine entrance. The rocks slammed heavily onto the ground, sending up clouds of dust, and the original passage was mercilessly sealed.

"I remember there's explosives here! Blow it up for me!"

"Calm down! It's already collapsed! If you keep going, there won't be just one entrance. Look, the miners are all coming out, which means it's completely sealed off!"

Akzhan grabbed Xiang Mingri and tried to calm him down. The more urgent the matter, the less anxious we should be. If this guy really blew it up with explosives, it wouldn't just be the entrance that would be in trouble.

"She'll be fine! She's been blessed by the goddess!"

"What's the use! Didn't I tell you! Goddess Astra has already..."

Just when Xiang Mingri was about to say this, a faint golden light appeared from the cave entrance.
