The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

Chapter 99 Danger in the Mine

Several villages very close to Niujia Village are in similar situations! They all share the common trait that the first to fall ill were a few idle, good-for-nothing village hooligans! Before they fell ill, they had all seen Chen Ergouzi from Niujia Village! This indicates they had also been to the same place!

Another village, Batou Village, has many people who work as laborers in the jade mines, but they never return! The village sent people to look for them, but there were guards who wouldn't let them in, so they were sent away!

Some time ago, after hearing that the guards had withdrawn, several of them gathered together to go into the mine to look for people. They encountered something inside, and returned to the village covered in injuries. Several of them fell ill! Because there were not many able-bodied men, and the women, children, and the elderly were no match for them, the casualties in this village were quite heavy!

Gu Lingxi deduced that those thugs had probably been to the mine, and the only valuable stones they had were raw jade ore! It seems there's something wrong with the jade mine the Crown Prince gave them! They really were up to no good!

Let's go to the jade mine and find out!

These people are so pitiful. If we don't help them get rid of this Corpse King poison, only death awaits them! Or they'll be forced to leave their homes! That would be even riskier, as the movement of people would greatly increase the possibility of the poison spreading to other villages! That would be a catastrophe!

Don't worry, I've already ordered all the affected villages to be sealed off, and people are not allowed to move around freely! Without further ado, let's go take a look now!

Gu Lingxi and Jun Moli went to the jade mine, but Ye Weilan didn't go with them. Instead, he stayed in a nearby village, using silver needles to alleviate the pain of those who were suffering from the disease! A doctor's heart is compassionate. Even though he had very important matters to attend to, he had no choice but to stop and try his best to treat the patients when he encountered this situation!

My junior sister is in a hurry, and I dare not forget my master and mistress's instructions for a moment! I will cherish my junior sister with my life and make her happy!

Inside the deep, winding mine, two torches flickered and crackled. The mine was vast and interconnected, and Gu Lingxi and her companions randomly chose one that looked the largest.

"Xi'er, stay close to me and watch your step!" Jun Moli said, still worried as he held Gu Lingxi's little hand.

After walking about two or three hundred meters, Jun Moli stopped! "Watch out, there seems to be something ahead!"

Gu Lingxi also heard the sound and drew the soft sword from her bosom! The two held their breath and walked forward a short distance!

As they rounded a corner, through the flickering firelight, something in the shadows seemed to have spotted them too! Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the cave, and several dark figures roared and charged towards them!

As she got closer, Gu Lingxi could see clearly that these were people infected with the Corpse King's poison! However, there was no hope for these people. It was probably caused by biting each other, and some of them had their flesh, internal organs, or limbs completely mutilated! Some even had half their faces gone but were still stubbornly alive. Gu Lingxi couldn't help but admire this virus; it made people lose even the ability to feel pain!

Xi'er, if you're scared, stay away! I'll deal with them!

Fear? Gu Lingxi pursed her lips. She didn't know what fear was at all. She just thought it was ugly! Ugly as hell! When she was six years old, the organization made her sleep with all sorts of gruesome corpses every day until she was no longer afraid and had no reaction at all!

Don't worry, I'm not afraid! These people are beyond saving! They have to be killed, otherwise they'll go out and hurt people!

She sheathed her soft sword and obtained dozens of silver needles! Gu Lingxi felt that sealing acupoints was the fastest method!

I'll knock them out, then you can finish them off!

The two worked together seamlessly, and in no time, they had easily dealt with more than twenty zombies!

The two continued forward until they arrived at a mine shaft about a hundred square meters in size. Several openings were visible in the shaft walls, indicating that many paths led to this place! Ahead lay a bottomless abyss! A chilling aura seeped upwards from the depths!

Xi'er, watch out!

The longsword was drawn, its cold light flashing, leaving a long, silvery trail in the firelight! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Four long, sharp claws snapped off, and the white-haired zombie that had attacked Gu Lingxi let out several shrill screams!

Could this be the Corpse King?

Probably not!

Gu Lingxi was about to ask, "How do you know it's not true?" when suddenly Jun Moli grabbed her waist and sent her flying backward dozens of meters!

Wow, so many!

From the bottomless abyss, one after another, white-haired zombies crawled up! They looked to be fifty or sixty! These seemed to be a bit stronger than those in the mine! These could fly and jump, and were much more agile!

Jun Moli's expression turned serious! Chi Hun and the others had already gone to gather more men! They might not arrive for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea! Right now, it was just him and Xi'er! This was a bit tricky!

Gu Lingxi could see his concerns, so she broke free from his embrace and said, "Don't worry, I can do it!"

There was no time for the two to think for long! Several zombies had already attacked them!

Gu Lingxi's forty-nine broken blades were mostly damaged during her last battle with the Holy Maiden, leaving only seven or eight that were still barely usable!

He drew his soft sword from his waist and used his mind to control eight broken blades to attack simultaneously! The eight broken blades flashed coldly, swirling and maneuvering among the zombies, striking vital points!

Like the Grim Reaper's scythe, it reaped the heads of the zombies, the white blade and red edge spraying out a spray of dark red blood, filling the air with a stench! Gu Lingxi couldn't help but frown from the stench!

Gu Lingxi had considered using Thunderclap Divine Lightning to kill the group of zombies, but this was a mine, and she was afraid that the mine was unstable and might collapse, burying her and Jun Moli! She had a space to hide, but what about Jun Moli?

Jun Moli's swordsmanship was incredibly sharp, exuding a domineering and ruthless aura, leaving afterimages in the air! His sword never missed its mark; one strike, one head!

Even while fighting, he didn't forget to keep an eye on Gu Lingxi's situation! Seeing that the naughty girl was handling things with ease, he felt half relieved!

At this moment, Chi Hun arrived with dozens of well-trained guards! A hundred bright torches immediately illuminated the mine!

Your Highness, I am late. Please forgive me!

Stop talking! Shoot them all in the head! Kill them all without mercy! Then send people to clean up and burn it all!

The arrival of the bodyguards immediately relieved Gu Lingxi's pressure! She also secretly stored the broken blade and its handle in her spatial storage when no one was looking!

Gu Lingxi was about to walk towards Jun Moli when suddenly her legs tightened, and she was sent flying backwards towards the abyss! Looking down, she saw that what had wrapped around her legs was a strand of white hair emerging from the abyss! The hair was so fine that it was almost imperceptible!

Gu Lingxi remained calm and swung her sword backhand to slash at the hair! However, she was a little too late, and more hair flew over, entangling her sword and body together, pulling her towards the abyss!
