It really came without any effort at all.
After entering the tunnel, Xu Jinhuan discovered that there was only one route, which saved her a lot of trouble.
The tunnel was very long. Xu Jinhuan used his lightness skill to fly through the tunnel. After a long time, Xu Jinhuan heard footsteps, which meant that someone was patrolling the area.
That means she's come to the right place.
Xu Jinhuan quietly followed and, sure enough, saw the familiar black clothes. With nothing else to do, she started complaining to the system again.
"Little Wang, these ancient secret guards are really pitiful; they've never worn brightly colored clothes in their entire lives."
System Xiao Wang also strongly agreed with his host's words.
[Host, I don't really understand either. It's one thing for these bodyguards to be at night, but aren't they conspicuously dressed in black and running around during the day?]
Xu Jinhuan smiled and replied in his heart, "Don't worry, when the opportunity arises, I'll secretly grab a bodyguard and ask him for you."
While one person was chatting, the patrolmen, seemingly bored, also started chatting.
"Sixty, when was the last time you left here?" the man asked after a sigh.
After thinking for a while, Sixty, the bodyguard, said, "I remember it was New Year's Day. The master held a grand banquet for all the bodyguards, and I drank quite a bit of wine. Wu San, why are you asking this?"
The guard, Wu San, replied helplessly, "I'm wondering when we can leave here. The top ten guards can come and go freely, but we're afraid we'll be stuck here until the silver mine is depleted."
Upon hearing this, Sixty, the bodyguard, patted Fifty on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "It all depends on who you compare it to. Compared to the top ten bodyguards, our life is indeed just average. But compared to the captured miners, our life is like that of gods."
After hearing this, Wu San felt much better. "Yes, those miners are the ones who are really miserable. Luckily, we didn't offend our master."
Upon hearing this, Liu quickly looked around and then raised his hand to shush, "Are you out of your mind? How dare you speak ill of our master here? This place is full of our master's spies."
Wu San also realized what was happening and immediately shut his mouth. The two of them stopped talking and began to patrol seriously.
Unable to find any useful information, Xu Jinhuan quietly headed towards the exit.
As soon as Xu Jinhuan reached the exit, he heard the clanging sound of something striking the stone wall.
"No way, is this male lead some kind of reincarnation of a ruthless landlord? It's so late, why can't people rest?"
Xu Jinhuan looked at the miners not far away, who were still busily moving silver ore, illuminated by torches, and his face showed shock.
"Hurry up, everyone hurry up!"
"What are you dawdling for? Do you want another beating?"
The bodyguard in charge of watching over the miners cracked his whip and smiled menacingly.
The miners quickly lowered their heads and quickened their pace, afraid that the whip would strike them.
Taking advantage of his invisibility ability, Xu Jinhuan used his lightness skill to deliver a flying kick, sending the guard sprawling face-first into the dirt.
"Who? Who hit me?" The guard hurriedly got up from the ground, looking around in surprise and doubt.
Those with him were also very surprised to see him suddenly fly out. "Fourth Five, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly fly out?"
The guards touched their bruised chins and shook their heads blankly. "I don't know either. I just felt someone kick me."
The person next to him was taken aback. "Besides the two of us, there are only miners here. Do you think they would dare to kick you? I didn't even move..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and he was thrown into the air before crashing to the ground.
"Ouch."
The guards looked around in alarm and asked in a low voice, "Fourth Guard, are you alright?"
Before Si Yi could answer, the surrounding guards were drawn by the noise coming from their direction.
"What's wrong? Is there something unusual here?"
The four or five guards rushed over in terror, as if they had seen a family member, shouting, "Something's wrong! There's a ghost here!"
The fourth guard also got up from the ground and chimed in, "Yes, there was a ghost! We were just attacked by a ghost!"
Upon hearing this, the other guards looked at the two of them as if they were idiots.
"Stop spouting nonsense. Did you eat something wrong last night?"
"Yeah, how could there be ghosts in this world? Are you two too sleepy and seeing things?"
The fourth and fifth guards were extremely aggrieved. They pointed to the wound on their chin and said, "If there wasn't a wound, I would have thought it was my imagination, but look, the wound is still there."
By the firelight, the guards took a look and, lo and behold, it really was a fresh wound…
Before they could voice their opinions, Xu Jinhuan kicked them one by one, letting them see the power of the "ghost".
And so, the guards present were sent flying one after another, landing heavily on the ground.
"Cough, now you believe us, right? There really is a ghost here." After saying this, the fourth and fifth guards spat out a mouthful of blood, with a white tooth mixed in with it.
The other guards gave a wry smile, while gripping their sword hilts tighter. Although the swords couldn't harm ghosts, they at least gave them some peace of mind.
"Do you think this ghost only attacks people who are standing up? It didn't hit me when I was lying on the ground just now," the fourth guard suddenly said.
The other guards thought he made sense, so they didn't get up and all lay down on the ground...
Xu Jinhuan glanced at them with disdain and headed towards the silver mine.
"Xiao Wang, can your space hold this entire silver mine?" Xu Jinhuan asked in his mind.
System Xiao Wang estimated the data, thought for a while, and then replied.
[Host, theoretically it's possible, but after storing this silver ore, I won't have much space left, so I can't empty other people's warehouses for you anymore.]
Xu Jinhuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She hadn't expected the system to be so helpful. She smiled and said, "It's alright. Let's deal with the immediate matter first. Xiao Wang, you've been a great help to me."
System Xiao Wang was delighted by the praise, and after estimating the time, he immediately informed his host.
[Host, because the silver mine covers a large area, it will take about ten minutes to collect the silver ore using this space. Please wait a moment.]
Xu Jinhuan nodded, "It's only ten minutes, I can wait. I can play with these guards a bit more."
After saying that, she enthusiastically used her lightness skill and flew towards the direction where the guards had just been.
Meanwhile, the guards, seeing that Gui hadn't made any move, assumed he had left and got up to check the situation.
"Should we report this to the leader? What if it keeps getting haunted?"
"I think it's a good idea. We can find a highly virtuous monk to come here and chant the Rebirth Mantra or something, so that this ghost can ascend to paradise as soon as possible and stop harming people."
Just as they were talking, Xu Jinhuan returned. As soon as she landed, she heard someone telling her to ascend to paradise as soon as possible. Who would be happy about that?
