"Sister Gong, what on earth does this man mean? He was so aggressive just now, but he ran away in the blink of an eye!"
"...I don't understand either. I'll ask Sister Chu later. Okay, stop standing here and do what you need to do."
Gong Xiaoran thought for a long time and decided to send a Feixin to Chu Yao first.
It was very rare that Chu Yao did not reply immediately, which was different from before.
Are you busy?
Gong Xiaoran put this matter aside for the time being and began to think about contacting Gangqiong Company.
——
Chu Yao was indeed busy, she was at a critical moment of breakthrough.
In the No. 1 Mine Shaft of Beishan Mine, the wind was howling and the sound was like the cry of ghosts.
Chu Yao sat cross-legged in the place where she and her senior sister had once gone into seclusion. Waves of Yin energy were absorbed into the Qi sea in her Dantian under the operation of the Mingling Jue.
The spiritual energy she had lost had been replenished, and her goal now was to reach the next small realm as quickly as possible.
Then she sighed, and the practice came to an abrupt end.
The reason for sighing... is that her realm can now be said to be at the peak of the third and a half level of Qi Refining, in short, just a little bit short.
Refining Qi is a process of accumulation. The higher the realm, the more spiritual energy is needed, and it will eventually come naturally.
“Too little!”
This branch is deep enough, but the Yin energy it contains seems to be only enough for her to cultivate to the third level of Qi Refining.
It's okay to stay here forever, but it will take more time. Time is the most precious thing for Chu Yao right now, so it's impossible for him to waste it here.
She suddenly thought of the blocked main road and thought maybe she should go there and take a look.
Chu Yao got up and dusted off his clothes, then walked towards the main road while replying to Fei Xin's message.
"An instrument that looks like a vacuum cleaner..."
Gong Xiaoran speculated that it was used to detect traces of magic, and Chu Yao thought almost the same as her.
But it was just a guess... This time, Chu Yao, in addition to trying to break through, had two other places to go:
One is the security team base located in the northern mountains, and the other is the center of Tianhai City, the Qihang Building of Yali Company.
She didn't want to experience being abducted and toyed with by a spaceship again. Instead of passively hiding, she should take the initiative and explore the true strength of Yali Company.
Don’t let a Black Mirror-like thing pop up one day and kill you. Even if you die, you must die with understanding!
As for Chen Yu, Chu Yao was sure that this person must have discovered his identity as a psychic, but did not take action for some reasons.
"I understand. Be on guard against that guy named Shen, and expand the number of spies in the city. Report to me anytime if anything happens..."
Chu Yao typed as he moved forward, and soon he arrived at the main road blocked by rocks.
Is it really impossible to get through?
She put away her phone and carefully checked the gaps between the rocks; she had joked with her senior sister before about blowing them up, but she didn't dare to do so.
After taking a closer look, Chu Yao discovered something wrong.
There are still radial cracks on the stone wall above, which are obviously not formed naturally.
This place was deliberately blocked by stones blasted out by explosives!
This discovery surprised her a little. She originally thought that this place was blocked because of a landslide, but now it seems that this is not the case.
What exactly happened here?
A main mine can bring hundreds or even thousands of pieces of mother stones to the mine every day. The company executive in charge of the mine should also be aware of this.
What made them give up such huge profits and abandon this mining road?
However, if that's the case, then it means not everything inside is blocked...
Chu Yao's eyes rolled, and she already had a plan in mind. She cast a spell and used the wall-walking technique to walk straight through.
After a few seconds of darkness, the view suddenly became clear, and the long main road extended to the bottom of the vein.
Sure enough, there is a road behind.
Chu Yao walked inside with brisk steps.
Although it was pitch dark, Chu Yao no longer needed a flashlight. With her cultivation level, she could see at night and could easily see everything in the cave.
The dilapidated railway tracks stretched out in a winding manner. The steel rails were covered with rust, and the wooden sleepers emitted a rotten smell, which mixed with the humid air in the cave, making it hard to breathe.
Chu Yao walked for a long time and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
It seems too quiet.
In the first half, which was not blocked, she could occasionally see animals like rats and bats, but there seemed to be nothing inside and no sound could be heard.
Only her footsteps echoed in the huge mine.
Moreover, this No. 1 mine is too deep. The No. 4 mine she had visited before didn't seem to be that long either.
Chu Yao took out her cell phone and took a look, and sure enough, there was no signal.
A bit weird...
She became alert but had no intention of retreating.
After so many years of cultivation, what kind of dangerous places had Chu Yao not been to? If she was scared away just now, the news would make her fellow disciples laugh at her.
Then something even weirder happened.
She saw a corpse not far away.
Only a skeleton was left, and the clothes on his body were tattered. Judging from the slave ring still intact on his neck and the quality of his clothes, he should be a dead mining slave.
He maintained the posture of crawling out, facing the ground with one arm stretched forward, as if expressing his unwillingness before death.
If it was just an ordinary corpse, Chu Yao wouldn't care too much, but the problem was that he was not ordinary.
She saw that the upper half of the corpse was intact, but the lower half was gone, the pelvis was broken, and gray-white bone fragments were scattered all over the ground.
Cut it in half? No, judging by the hideous cracks on the bone, it must have been bitten off alive by some creature!
Chu Yao became extremely alert, holding her breath as she moved forward, trying her best not to make any loud noise.
The further you go, the more corpses you find.
And they all looked like humans. Some had no heads, some had no legs, some had no arms, and some were left with only a piece of clothing.
The pickaxes and sacks they used for mining were scattered all over the ground. Chu Yao saw that some of the bags were still filled with a lot of Yuanmu Stone.
A monster?
After coming to the Tianren Society, she seemed to have never encountered creatures like monsters. She thought there were no such creatures on Lingyuan Star.
But the corpses all over the ground reminded Chu Yao that not only was there something here, but it was most likely a big one.
She now understood why the mine was sealed.
Chu Yao continued to move forward. The railroad tracks had already broken at the end, and the cave became narrower.
The remaining bones were increasing in number, piled up randomly.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would have fainted from fright, but Chu Yao did not.
On the contrary, she was a little happy.
Yes, happy.
Because the yin energy here is very strong...it is just right for her to practice.
She closed her eyes and felt the Yin energy here, which was more than ten times denser than her previous retreat!
Hehehe... No matter what kind of monster you are, just make room for this old ancestor!
Chu Yao showed her signature smile on her face, but before the smile faded, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out from the corner and pounced in front of her!
