You should know that Nanzhao has a mine built in Qianluo Mountain.

Surrounded by steep mountains, this place is naturally rugged and desolate, isolated from the world, like a gateway to hell.

Inside the mine, there are numerous cells, all built with thick stones. They are as strong as iron cages, locking the prisoners tightly.

Hua Jianbai was handcuffed and followed those people all the way to the mine. He saw that it was surrounded by high stone walls with sharp iron spikes on the top.

Along the way, the sounds of hand-held pickaxes and shovels hitting each other were particularly loud.

The inside of the grotto is a long and narrow cave, winding and twisting like a maze. The further you go in, the darker it gets, and in the end you almost have to duck your body to walk in.

After a while, they arrived at a dim stone cave. There were glowing phosphorus stones placed everywhere, and the faint green light reflected the cold stone walls.

As soon as they arrived at the place, several people led by "Brother Xiao" hurried to their respective workstations and started hammering and banging.

"Everyone, cheer up! Dig hard."

At this time, a man came up, wearing a brass ghost mask on his head, holding a long whip in his hand, and a piece of animal tusk tied to a leather belt around his waist, with a vermilion tassel hanging from it. This was a yazhang, and this man must be the mine's supervisor, commonly known as the head foreman.

That "Brother Xiao" had muscles as hard as iron and strong arms, but he was surprisingly very obedient. He nodded and bowed to him, then hurried to his workstation to work.

Hua Jianbai was like a tiger in trouble and bullied by a dog. With a "clang", the supervisor threw something at him and it landed at his feet.

Looking down, I saw an iron pickaxe and a bamboo basket.

Before Hua Jianbai could bend down to pick it up, the commander wearing a bronze ghost mask shouted in a hoarse voice:

"I'm talking to you! What are you daydreaming about? If you don't harvest enough today, you won't have anything to eat!"

Hanami was very reluctant, if he had enough strength, he would have definitely fought back!

He cursed his ancestors inwardly and went to pick up the pickaxe, but the snow-white and transparent crystal was wrapped behind the hard stone wall and could not be knocked down at all.

"Wow, how do I use it? I don't know."

"Boy, you're looking for death!"

After monitoring, he swung the iron whip, drawing a sharp arc in the air.

Seeing this, Hua Jianbai turned around and walked past, just avoiding it.

"Fuck you, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Where are you going to hit me?"

The pupils behind the bronze ghost mask of the commander darkened, and he pointed his iron whip at him fiercely:

"Do you know what happens to someone like you in the top mine?"

"I was captured by you, illegally detained, and charged with human trafficking. You are a scam software park, garbage!"

"Asshole!" The Chief of Works didn't know what he meant by that curse, but he knew it was not a nice thing to say, so he shouted angrily:

"If you curse again, I'll throw you back into the man-eating cave and let those ghosts suck you dry, tearing off your flesh and skin, leaving no trace of your body!"

Hua Jianbai looked at him coldly, not understanding: "What man-eating cave?"

"The fact that you were able to come here from the man-eating cave only means that your friend sacrificed his life for you..."

"What did you say?"

Hua Jianbai suddenly raised his eyes. These words were like a thunderbolt on his head, almost shattering his soul.

The Director of Works spoke in an unpleasant voice, sneered, and kept talking.

"After all, not everyone in our mine is so lucky. No ghosts will appear in the top-level mine at night. If you work hard, the mine can support you for a lifetime."

"otherwise……"

The man in the bronze ghost mask swung his iron whip fiercely.

I'll trade my life for you...

Hua Jianbai didn't hear the last few words at all. His originally handsome face and mountain-spring eyes flashed with a dark light of anger.

"What did you do to him?"

The Chief Engineer glanced at him and didn't take him seriously at all.

"Listen up, you bunch of people! Don't be ungrateful. The mine is a one-way street. Once you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

"I'm asking you, what happened to him?"

These words came out from between his teeth, word by word. Beneath the clear voice, his eyes were a little red, and there was even a hint of mist in his anger.

The Chief of Works raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said provocatively:

"You shouldn't ask me this. Instead, you should ask the ghosts in the man-eating cave."

Hua Jianbai pursed his lips, his lip lines were as sharp as a knife, his hands were unconsciously clenched, his fingertips were trembling from excessive force, and he seemed extremely furious at the moment.

"Boy, you're so scared that you're crying..."

Before he could finish his words, everything went dark before his eyes.

"You're so stupid! You actually took action!"

Hua Jianbai rushed towards the man without saying a word, knocked him down in a few seconds, and started punching him in the face.

The thunder erupted in anger, shattering the bronze ghost mask until his blood-stained fists began to tremble. The people in the same cell were all horrified. They had never seen such a crazy and desperate fighting style before.

……

……

It was a very long cave, extremely damp and cold. You had to walk to the end before you reached the entrance.

The rocks at the cave entrance were mottled by age, and it was hard to see any light. Ning Xiusu hurried forward. Outside the cave, the sun was faint, and in the distance, the mountains were majestic.

He then realized that he was deep in the rolling mountains, with a steep cliff isolated in the middle of the mountains, neither up nor down, just above a cliff.

Ning Xiusu stood on a high place and overlooked a corner of the mine.

The entire mountain range was like the gaping maw of a giant beast. Below, people were like ants, carrying loads on their shoulders and backs, pushing carts loaded with ore...

"What the hell, we're actually inside Qianluo Mountain?"

Ning Xiusu knew very well that Qianluo Mountain was in a state of desolation more than ten years ago. It was only when Ji Qingyu and Fang Jinchuan conquered the world that it was cleansed.

Later, the Nanzhao Kingdom presented this place as a treasured Feng Shui site.

Since Dayan was founded and proclaimed its emperor, a mine has been built here. Meng Qilian once said that the ores here are mostly used for military purposes.

Since this is a mine built by Dayan, it is naturally full of tricks.

Hanamibai must have touched some mechanism or fallen into some trap...

He was really worried, but his current situation did not seem optimistic.

After all, we were on a cliff and there was no rope. How could we leave this place and get help from Hua Jianbai?

Ning Xiusu hadn't eaten or drunk anything for such a long time, and he was tired and sleepy at the moment. He simply leaned against the cliff, but his clothes got rubbed with some crumbs.

He pinched it between his fingertips and sniffed it. The smell was extremely pungent, but it looked like crystal.

There are white Luofu everywhere in this mine.

He thought of what Meng Qilian had mentioned that day, that the case he was taking over seemed to be related to the insufficient amount of mineral tribute provided by Bai Luofu.

But there are so many Bailuofu, and they are almost rotten, but no one comes up to dig them up.

Since Dayan is now inseparable from Bailuofu, could it be that Nanzhao's move was intentional?

He thought to himself, resting to conserve his strength.

As the sky gradually darkened, the monsters roared in the cave, seeming to be particularly excited at night, but they did not dare to get close to him.

This is good, but not great...

He glanced at the dark shadows moving back and forth in the cave and sighed. After all, he didn't know how long he would be trapped here. If he had no food or water... he would starve to death.

Ning Xiusu was almost dying of hunger. There were no candles burning in the mine, and the only light was phosphate rock. Phosphorus rock was also a kind of mineral that emitted a faint light at night and was the only source of light here.

It suddenly became brighter below the cliff, and looking down at the corner of the mine, it was full of bright green.

I stared for too long and felt dizzy.

Like a firefly...

……

Ning Xiusu suddenly noticed a pale blue light flying before his eyes.

I thought it was an illusion caused by hunger, but when I looked closely, it looked like both a firefly and a burning, spinning spark.

No...it's spiritual energy.

He suddenly sat up from the cliff of the cave and found that these fireflies were floating out from the cave, like countless tiny and lively elves.
