Tang Zhen had just entered the mine when a few monsters pounced at him. They looked like swimming flames.
It was not too strong, but it was formed by rule force, so he could not take it lightly.
If an ordinary cultivator encountered it and lacked a way to deal with it, it was very likely that they would turn into a pile of bones.
Monsters of laws like this could be seen everywhere in the mine, and it was impossible to judge their true strength by their appearance.
Perhaps an unremarkable monster could kill a super expert in an instant.
In fact, these monsters of laws were the continuation of the consciousness of the fallen cultivators, and they could not be taken lightly.
Fortunately, this type of monster also had weaknesses.
Some of the monsters of laws were slow, while others could not move and could only be activated when they were close.
Most of the monsters of rules were weaker than the Super powerhouses, and they had to attack in groups to cause damage.
Cultivators could easily avoid such monsters.
There were some monsters that he couldn’t defeat, but he could definitely hide from them. If it wasn’t necessary, there was no need to fight these monsters.
After discovering the characteristics of the monsters of laws, it would be much easier to move around. If they encountered monsters of laws that seemed to be difficult to deal with, they could choose to take a detour.
In the process of advancing, he had to constantly record the surrounding situation and analyze whether the route was safe.
The main task of the cultivators was to find the correct route and to make it easier for them to evacuate.
In the process of advancing, they would occasionally encounter cultivators from Lou Cheng, but they did not communicate with each other.
Now that the environment was dangerous and the cultivators in the city had their own thoughts, it was not appropriate to have too much contact with them.
No one could guarantee that when it came to benefits, the companions around them would not attack.
When the cultivators of loucheng saw Tang Zhen, their eyes were slightly strange as if they didn’t expect him to dare to act alone.
However, when he thought about Tang Zhen’s situation, he felt that it was only natural.
It was very likely that this encounter would become an eternal farewell. There was no telling when Tang Zhen would die in the hands of the tribe’s cultivators.
Tang Zhen turned a blind eye to these cultivators in the building city and only minded his own business as he searched for his way forward.
He would not walk the path that others had walked. Not only would he be looked down upon, but it would also bring unnecessary risks.
Moreover, Tang Zhen’s methods were not convenient for outsiders to see.
After walking for a while, he realized that he was at the end of the tunnel. There were also signs of collapse.
It was very normal for such a situation to occur when one couldn’t use one’s divine sense to detect. Not only would Tang Zhen take the wrong path, but the other cultivators would also be the same.
After repeated exploration, he finally found the correct path.
Tang Zhen turned his head around and saw a hunchbacked figure appearing at the exit of the mine.
The other party was wearing a tattered leather robe and was constantly excavating the crystal mine, as if no one was around.
Tang Zhen’s brows were slightly knitted when he saw this scene.
The cultivators from both sides were only intruders to the crystal mine below the temple. The monsters transformed from the remnant souls of the cultivators were the Masters.
The figure in front of him was most likely a monster as well.
The monsters of laws were dangerous and strange, and their attacks were hard to guard against. The wisest way was to try to avoid them.
However, the figure in front of him was blocking the exit of the mine. It was obvious that he did not intend to let Tang Zhen leave.
Logically speaking, with Tang Zhen’s strength and trump card, he might not be afraid of this monster of laws. However, he did not have the intention to fight it head-on.
He even felt a sense of danger in his heart.
This was because from the beginning to the end, Tang Zhen did not notice any signs of the old man’s appearance. This was enough to explain the problem.
“Old man, you’re blocking my way.”
Tang Zhen was silent for a few breaths before he suddenly spoke.
When the hunchbacked old man heard this, he turned his head and looked at Tang Zhen. His turbid eyes were filled with a lifeless aura.
“Where are you going? hurry up and dig the ore, the chief will come to collect it soon.
If we don’t complete the mission, I’m afraid we’ll be punished again today.”
There was a hint of helplessness in his cold and strange tone.
After the old man finished speaking, he waved the pickaxe in his hand and started to dig at the crystal mine.
However, the pickaxe it was using was clearly a ray of light, and it could not cause any damage to the crystal mine.
The old man seemed to be extremely tired, but he still persisted in chiseling. He was like a machine that was about to fall apart.
“How much more do I need to hand in the mission?”
Tang Zhen looked at the hunched old man and suddenly asked. Clearly, he was asking about the exchange earlier.
“……”
The old man turned his head to look at Tang Zhen, but he quickly turned his head back and did not answer his question.
Tang Zhen flipped his hand and a fragment of the remains appeared.
“Is that enough?”
He looked at the old man and asked in a calm tone.
The old man didn’t respond and continued to mine the crystal.
Tang Zhen threw the remains in front of the old man. After which, he flipped his palm and another ten pieces of remains appeared.
“Is that enough?”
The old man was still unmoved. He waved the pickaxe in his hand tiredly, as if he would fall down at any moment.
Tang Zhen flipped his hand once again, and a hundred pieces of debris appeared. They practically filled half of the tunnel.
“Is that enough?”
The old man who was currently mining slowly came to a stop. He once again turned his head to look at Tang Zhen.
“Enough, enough!”
It was still that scrawny face, but there was a hint of excitement in his tone, as if the regret in his heart had been satisfied.
As the old man spoke, he nodded to Tang Zhen before his figure slowly disappeared.
At the same time, the debris that Tang Zhen had thrown out also quickly fused into the crystal mine.
Tang Zhen was silent for a few breaths. After he confirmed that there were no problems, he swiftly left the tunnel.
Although he was out of danger, Tang Zhen was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he hid in the nearby mine.
He realized that there was something wrong with the surrounding terrain. It seemed to be deliberately guiding outsiders to get closer to the strange mine.
As long as one passed through this area, it was very easy to walk into a dead end.
As expected, it didn’t take long for four figures to appear. They were all cultivators from the tribe.
After they entered this maze-like area, they studied their surroundings and ended up walking towards that dead end.
“As expected, hehe.”
Tang Zhen’s eyes were fixed on the entrance of the mine. He saw a figure instantly appear.
It was still the same hunchbacked figure, waving the broken pickaxe and digging.
The old man had appeared without a sound. Even though Tang Zhen had been staring at the exit of the mine, he was still unable to discover where the other party had come from.
As expected of a monster born from rule power, it was not easy to detect, and its existence contained rules.
Tang Zhen had guessed the rules of the monster. Therefore, he chose to lose money to avoid disaster. As expected, he successfully walked out.
He wondered if the four cultivators who had just entered could see through the rules and escape from the monster.
Just as this thought rose in his mind, he heard an angry roar. It was obvious that a battle had broken out.
Rays of light flashed at the entrance of the cave. This was the collision of rule power, but there was no movement.
Clearly, this mine was more dangerous than he had imagined.
After a few seconds, a cultivator rushed out of the cave, looking terrified.
The other three cultivators of the tribe had yet to show up, so it was likely that they had met with an accident.
The cultivators who had entered the mine probably did not know the rules and the monster’s entry requirements.
Or perhaps they found the rules but were unwilling to pay the price, so they chose to fight the monsters of the rules.
In the end, only one of the four tribesmen managed to escape.
From the looks of it, this cultivator obviously didn’t intend to save his companions. After all, he couldn’t even take care of himself at the moment.
Three figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the mine just as Tang Zhen was quietly pondering.
It was the three cultivators of the tribe who were waving their pickaxes and digging like wooden puppets.
The old man suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Zhen. His shriveled and terrifying face suddenly revealed a smile that caused one’s heart to palpitate.
He seemed to be thanking Tang Zhen for not stopping these cultivators from entering the mine.
Tang Zhen’s heart trembled slightly. He was unwilling to remain any longer. Instead, he swiftly advanced toward the deeper parts of the mine.
