Chapter 306 Mine
As Shen Yuan and his companions got closer, it was as if they had entered an environment filled with yellow sand, with gray particles constantly floating around.
Shen Yuan frowned slightly, and with a thought, he used a layer of strength to protect himself.
"The outer layer of the gray crystal is covered with a layer of particles. Once someone touches it, it will immediately disperse and turn into a large gray chimney, so the environment here is very bad." Luo Zizhen, who was standing by, also used his strength to protect himself and explained.
Both of them were in the Body Tempering Realm, but Gan Baifei, who was standing by, was only in the Bone Tempering Realm. He could not release his strength, so he could only take out a black mask and put it on.
The guards seemed to have seen them, and several dusty figures hurried out to remove the roadblocks at the gate.
The one who removed the roadblocks seemed to be a warrior, but his face was covered in dust, like a beggar, and his original appearance could not be seen. There were more than a dozen gray mines dug on the mountain dozens of feet ahead, and the mines kept spewing out gray fine particles, like a huge chimney.
The ground of the mine was covered with a layer of gray dust, and the environment was very bad.
"The family finally sent someone." A cold voice floated over, and then a tall figure wearing a black mask and a black protective suit walked out of a larger stone house.
"This is Luo Shanyuan, the person in charge of the gray crystal mine." Luo Zizhen explained, and at the same time stepped forward and clasped his hands;
"Fourth uncle."
"The family sent you here?" Luo Shanyuan nodded slightly and said in a low voice.
"This is Brother Han Feiyu Han, he is responsible for the missing matter, and it was arranged by grandpa." Luo Zizhen said.
"Come in and talk." Luo Yuanshan glanced and said in a deep voice.
The three walked into the stone house, which seemed to have some special arrangements, and no dust floated into it.
Luo Yuanshan took off his mask, revealing a slightly old face.
"Fourth uncle, your situation..." Luo Zizhen looked at Luo Yuanshan's face that did not match his age, and his face was slightly gloomy.
"It's okay. I'm used to staying in the Gray Crystal Mine." Luo Yuanshan waved his hand.
Although he is a warrior in the Tempering Body Realm and can release his strength to resist the dust, it is impossible for him to use his strength all the time.
Sitting in the Gray Crystal Mine for many years, his lungs have long been filled with dust. Even a special mask cannot be immune to this situation, so his physical fitness is inevitably declining.
"Let's talk about business first." Luo Yuanshan's eyes are gloomy.
"The disappearances started three days ago. At first, the miners disappeared inexplicably in the middle of the night, but none of the workers who lived in the same room knew what happened. There was no movement or trace left, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth."
"Then not only the ordinary workers, but also the warriors in charge of supervision began to have accidents. These warriors, like the workers, disappeared inexplicably in the mine, and also left no trace."
"And it's not just our Luo family mine, including the Chen family in the west and the Ma family in the north. The same situation has occurred. The Chen family and the Ma family sent people here yesterday, but they didn't find out anything."
As if recalling something, Luo Yuanshan's face looked a little ugly;
"Until last night, I and two other warriors from other families stayed up all night and stayed in the mine to find out what was wrong. At that time, we were ambushed in different positions, but I don't know what happened. The two men seemed to have discovered something and actually chased after them.
I was worried that it was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so I stayed in the mine and didn't follow them out. "
"But what I didn't expect was that after the two of them chased out, they never came back. When it was daytime, I organized people to search around, but I didn't find any traces of fierce fighting. "
Luo Shanyuan sighed, and the faces of the warriors and workers behind him showed obvious fear. They seemed to think of the fate of the two who disappeared, and tremblingly echoed;
"Yes, that night I lived in the same room with Lao Si. He went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but never came back."
"That's right, that's right, Xiao Zhang was the same, he disappeared inexplicably!"
"In just a few days, we lost more than 30 people."
Although the Gray Crystal Mine is equipped with special masks, staying in such a place all day long is unbearable even for warriors, let alone ordinary people.
Therefore, ordinary people who work here have a short lifespan, and they usually have to be replaced every two or three years. Fortunately, it is a time of chaos and people are not worth much, otherwise we would not be able to recruit so many people.
"Fourth uncle, did you see what it was?" Luo Zizhen asked.
"I can't see it clearly. The light here is dim, and the speed of that thing is very fast, so I can't see anything clearly." Luo Shanyuan shook his head.
"But the two warriors are both in the body tempering realm, and their strength is not weaker than mine. They didn't come back, which means that the thing is probably very difficult to deal with. That thing can catch people in the same room without anyone noticing.
In addition to having strong concealment and lurking, it is probably also very powerful. And this is the case for all three of our families, which means that there are quite a few of these ghost things."
"Brother Han, what do you think?" Luo Zizhen looked at Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan frowned slightly. He hated this kind of "hide and seek" thing the most. It was not only laborious, but also very time-consuming.
But since he had accepted the commission from the Luo family, he naturally couldn't just shirk it.
"Just guard it for one night." He shook his head.
"That's all we can do." Luo Zizheng nodded. There was no clue at all now, and it was unrealistic to find the cause of the trouble. He could only wait for an opportunity.
However, he was not too worried about the danger of this operation. The things that were doing evil were sneaky, which meant that their strength did not exceed the Tempering Body Realm. With Shen Yuan in charge, there was no need to worry about safety.
"This is a special mask. You go and rest first. I will call you in the evening." Luo Shanyuan took out three black masks.
"Thank you, fourth uncle." Luo Zizhen took it and handed a mask to Shen Yuan.
"I don't need it." Shen Yuan shook his head and did not take it.
Luo Zizhen handed the extra mask back.
Luo Shanyuan took it, frowned slightly, and said; "Are you going to keep stimulating your strength to protect yourself?"
"Well, is there a problem?" Shen Yuan asked back.
"No." Luo Shanyuan's brows stretched and a smile appeared on his face. Although he didn't know how strong the other party was, just by stimulating his strength, his strength was above his own.
As for the other party's deliberate pretense, he didn't think about it. The family sent the other party here, naturally after careful consideration.
"Aqiu, take this gentleman down to rest." Luo Yuanshan ordered.
"Yes." Aqiu nodded.
When he came outside, the rolling dust hit him, but Shen Yuan did not use his strength. However, before the dust landed on him, it was blown away by an invisible shock force.
