Chapter 359 Blood Alarm Shines on the Mine
A blood-red warning light hangs over the northern mountains.
Like a blood-stained needle plunged into the night.
The earth's veins, which had just calmed down, began to rumble again with a low, deep vibration.
Xu Shan's face was extremely grim.
"The three main northern branches are guarded by a defensive formation."
"If it were just an injury, the police light should be reddish-yellow."
"Blood red..."
He didn't continue.
But everyone understands.
Han Xiaoqiu held the half-burnt talisman paper in her hand, her voice strained.
"Senior Brother Xu, who's on duty over North Third Road?"
Xu Shan said in a deep voice: "Wang Chong, Li Mu, Zhou Yao."
Zhao Li's expression also changed.
"Are all three of them here?"
Xu Shan nodded.
"It's their turn to guard the three main northern ridges today."
Mo Chengyue sat on the ground, just catching his breath.
Upon hearing this, he silently looked up at the sky.
well.
From a single point of failure to a multi-point collapse.
If this were in my previous company, it wouldn't be a problem that could be solved by working overtime.
This is the level at which a leader would say, "Everyone, please put in some effort."
Leng Yuexin's sleeves fluttered lightly.
She crushed the remaining ice energy around her into fine frost dust.
She stood amidst the rocks, her pale blue skirt untouched by a speck of mud.
Under the crimson police light, his cool and aloof features appeared even sharper and more menacing.
"Go to North Third."
Mo Chengyue immediately said, "Elder, this disciple suggests we rest for half a cup of tea first."
Leng Yuexin looked at him.
"You can't hold on?"
Mo Chengyue replied sincerely, "We can manage."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Then why rest?"
Mo Chengyue said, "This disciple would like to confirm how many lives I have left."
Han Xiaoqiu couldn't help herself.
"Senior Brother Mo, you really know how to pick your moments to joke."
Mo Chengyue said, "I'm not joking."
Zhao Li glanced at his pale face and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Mo must have suffered considerable losses from forcibly drawing in the earth fire just now."
Xu Shan also said, "Elder, the situation in the North Three is still unclear. If Senior Brother Mo's true essence is unstable..."
Leng Yuexin raised her hand.
A blue elixir flew toward Mo Chengyue.
"Take it."
Mo Chengyue caught the pill and examined it first.
Leng Yuexin's eyes were slightly cold.
Would I poison you?
Mo Chengyue immediately put it in his mouth.
"This disciple is merely appreciating the patterns on the cinnabar."
The elixir melts instantly upon entering the mouth.
A refreshing spiritual energy flowed down his throat and spread throughout his body.
The meridians that had just been numb from the shock of ice and fire felt as if they had been moistened by a light rain.
Mo Chengyue's spirits lifted slightly.
This pill looks expensive.
So expensive that his earlier comment about workers' compensation suddenly seemed very necessary.
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Can he walk?"
Mo Chengyue stood up and patted the hem of his clothes.
"The elder's elixir is very effective."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Stop talking nonsense."
Mo Chengyue said, "I can walk."
Xu Shan dragged Liu Zhengping down from the stone wall.
Liu Zhengping's right arm was severed, and he was weak, yet he was still chuckling softly.
"It's too late for you to go now."
Xu Shan stepped on his chest.
What happened in Beisan?
Liu Zhengping coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"you guess."
Xu Shan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Liu Zhengping!"
Leng Yuexin said calmly, "Take it with you."
Xu Shan was taken aback.
"Elder, this person is already half crippled; bringing him along will likely slow us down."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "He can't die yet."
Mo Chengyue added a sentence.
"Live animals are more valuable."
Liu Zhengping glared at him with resentment.
"Mo Chengyue, you've ruined my plans."
Mo Chengyue corrected him very seriously.
"Senior Brother Liu, it was Xuan Shuang Valley that ruined your life. I'm just reminding you that there's a trap in the contract."
Liu Zhengping couldn't understand.
But that didn't stop him from finding the statement offensive.
"You will die a horrible death."
Mo Chengyue nodded.
"Thank you for the reminder. I will continue to work hard to prevent it from happening."
Han Xiaoqiu whispered to Zhao Li, "Senior Brother Mo seems genuinely unafraid of threats."
Zhao Li looked at the talisman hidden in Mo Chengyue's sleeve.
It's not that I'm not afraid.
"He's just more methodical in his fear."
Xu Shan picked up Liu Zhengping and immediately placed a restriction on him.
The group headed towards the three main northern branches.
The mountain road was not easy to travel.
After the abandoned well was shaken, many parts of the mine ridge collapsed.
Many medicinal herb fields were covered in frost and cracked by geothermal heat, looking from a distance like chapped, grayish-white skin.
Several disciples stationed at the town entrance rushed over, and upon seeing the blood-red police lights, their faces turned deathly pale.
"Manager Xu, why is there a blood-stained police officer on the North Third Ring Road?"
"Did a monster break in?"
"Impossible, the outer array gates haven't been breached."
"That's the mole?"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone looked at Liu Zhengping, who was being carried by Xu Shan.
Liu Zhengping lowered his head, his laughter hoarse.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm not the only one in the mining area who wants to leave."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the disciples stationed there all changed.
Xu Shan snapped, "Shut up!"
Liu Zhengping, however, seemed to have finally grasped something, and his voice became even sharper.
"Don't you want to?"
"Day after day, we guard this broken mountain, taking the least credit and bearing the greatest risks."
"They just dismissed you with a simple 'you've done a good job guarding the position'."
"On what grounds?"
Several young disciples looked hesitant.
One of them couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Liu, even if you feel wronged, you can't harm people."
Liu Zhengping suddenly looked up.
"Am I harming people?"
"If the sect hadn't trapped us here, I wouldn't be in this situation."
Mo Chengyue sighed.
Liu Zhengping looked at him.
"What are you trying to say now?"
Mo Chengyue said, "What you're saying sounds like someone who owes money blaming the money lender for not paying their debts."
Liu Zhengping's expression was distorted.
"What do you know?"
Mo Chengyue said, "I know a little."
"You really have been wronged."
"It's true that you sold the mining area."
"The former cannot offset the latter."
The mountain road suddenly became quiet.
Xu Shan glanced at Mo Chengyue, his expression complex.
Leng Yuexin walked at the front without looking back.
But the corner of her lips seemed to twitch almost imperceptibly.
Han Xiaoqiu said in a low voice, "What Senior Brother Mo said... is quite right."
Zhao Li said, "That's why they stabbed people."
Liu Zhengping gritted his teeth.
"Once you get to Beisan, you'll see who's really the laughingstock."
Mo Chengyue's heart sank.
This guy isn't just being stubborn.
There must be more tricks up their sleeve.
He quietly activated the Yin-Yang Qi Observation Technique.
The mountain ranges came into view.
The mineral vein's spiritual energy, which should have been thick and stable, now seemed to have been slashed open with a knife.
There are three streams of air in the north.
A streak of icy blue.
A dark red hue.
There is also a grayish-white line.
The grayish-white aura was extremely faint, yet it resembled a thin thread that ran through the three main veins of the north.
Mo Chengyue paused slightly.
Leng Yuexin immediately noticed.
"What did you see?"
Mo Chengyue said, "There is something pulling at the earth's veins in the North Three."
Xu Shan asked urgently, "Is it a formation?"
Mo Chengyue shook his head.
"Like an array."
"But it's more like someone hid the formation inside the corpse energy."
Han Xiaoqiu's face turned pale.
"Corpse aura?"
Zhao Li whispered, "How could there be corpse energy at the mine?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Normally, no."
"Unless someone just died."
The group quickened their pace.
Before long, the entrance to the North Three Main Veins appeared ahead.
It was a main mine shaft that was much larger than the abandoned well.
A tall black stone gate stands at the entrance of the cave, with bronze pillars for suppressing the veins embedded on both sides.
At this moment, the bronze pillar was covered with frost cracks, and the array patterns were intermittent.
The cave entrance was half-open.
Blood-red police lights were flashing out from inside the door.
A disciple who was stationed at the gate lay collapsed in front of it.
An ice spike pierced his chest, and the blood beneath him had frozen into a dark red ice shell.
Han Xiaoqiu gasped.
"Senior Brother Wang..."
Xu Shan quickly stepped forward and squatted down to examine the area.
After a moment, his voice fell silent.
"He died not long ago."
"His soul has dissipated."
Zhao Li looked into the cave.
"What about the other two?"
No one answered.
Because footsteps could be heard coming from inside the cave.
step.
step.
It looked like someone was slowly walking out of the puddles.
Everyone immediately became alert.
Leng Yuexin stood at the forefront, a faint glint of cold light emanating from her sleeve.
Mo Chengyue also silently took a half step back.
This is not cowardice.
This is to respect the output space of the Nascent Soul Elder.
In the darkness, a figure appeared, swaying unsteadily.
The man was dressed in the gray robes of a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, his hair was disheveled, and half of his body was covered in frost.
He was dragging a short knife in his hand.
The knife tip made a screeching sound as it cut through the ground.
Xu Shan's pupils contracted.
"Li Mu!"
