After staying here for a while, seeing that nothing happened, the two began to rush towards another miner, and neither of them dared to be careless on the way, if there was any mistake, they would be sprayed by the Spirit Devouring Worm.

A morning passed like this, and the calm in the mine was a little scary, and the eighth-layer mine tunnel was much smaller than Xiao Chen had originally imagined.

The dense lines on the map look scary, but in fact, most of them are dead ends, and there are not many places to patrol, so I think this is probably why only two people need to patrol here.

In fact, in Xiao Chen's opinion, even if there were no two of them here, it wouldn't be a big deal, and among the ten martial artists guarding the headquarters, just draw two of them over, and they could easily complete the work of the two of them.

In just one morning, the two of them inspected the entire mine, took out the dry food they had brought with them, and began to rest on the spot.

Mu Xinya's words didn't stop for a moment, and as soon as she sat down at this moment, she asked, "Senior Brother Ye, do you say that there are any rules for the appearance of these Spirit Devouring Worms?" ”

The two of them just inspected and found some spirit devouring insects, but all of them fled quickly before the two of them made a move, making people helpless.

Xiao Chen really didn't notice the pattern in this, and couldn't help asking, "What do you see?" ”

Mu Xinya smiled and said: "This girl has a discerning eye, of course she can see it, where do you say that the spirit devouring insects we usually find are located, is it a place with miners, or a place without miners?"

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have something in his mind, as if there were miners, and he really hadn't found the Spirit Devouring Worm.

Unlike dried corpses, Spirit Devouring Worms move relatively slowly when they come out, which can give miners time to call for help, and they can easily kill these miners by coming out and spitting out a few mouthfuls of venom.

But it seems that nothing like this has happened yet, and there is no precedent for the Spirit Devourer to attack the miners, but what does all this have to do with the law of the appearance of the Spirit Devouring Worm.

Mu Xinya smiled proudly: "Did you think of something?" Seeing your puzzled look, you definitely can't figure out the joints here. ”

"Let me tell you, the Spirit Devouring Worm naturally has to devour the Spirit Stone Raw Ore to survive, you don't see it, you can only say that you have a different schedule from theirs. ”

Xiao Chen suddenly brightened, suddenly figured out the joints, and said: "The two of us started to rest after the miners rested, which means that when we rest, the Spirit Devouring Worm will come out to move." ”

Mu Xinya nodded and said: "You can actually look at the problem from a different angle, it is after the Spirit Devouring Worm rests, the miners and us start to work, and after the Spirit Devouring Worm comes out to move, we start to rest." ”

Mu Xinya's words are just Xiao Chen's words upside down, the surface meaning is the same, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that the charm has completely changed.

Xiao Chen was not stupid, and quickly thought of the joints, the miners, and the time when they came out to work, not arbitrarily, but according to the activity laws of the Spirit Devouring Worm.

The purpose is to avoid the activities of the Spirit Devouring Worm, but why is this done? The strength of the Spirit Devouring Worm is not strong, if you can gather them together and catch them all, wouldn't it be better.

Ye Wen once said that the biggest enemies in this mine cave are not those dried corpses, but these spirit devouring insects that make a living by devouring the original ore of spirit stones.

Could it be that Ye Wen didn't tell the truth at that time? Xiao Chen thought a little, this little Spirit Devouring Worm can't hide anything tricky, right?

Mu Xinya leaned over and said quirkily: "Senior Brother Ye, you said that we should go out tonight to brush up on merit points, I guarantee that we can brush at least a hundred points, as long as one night is enough." ”

This should be the reason why Mu Xinya came back so late last night, Xiao Chen's heart moved when he heard her proposal, but then he denied this idea and said, "These are just your guesses, there is no evidence, don't say it in the future." ”

"But I ......" Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't believe her words, Mu Xinya's lovely face couldn't help but get anxious.

Xiao Chen interrupted her and said, "Don't be, let's finish this month in peace, I always feel a little unsafe staying here, it's better not to make any extraneous branches!"

Whew!

A shrill alarm quickly drifted through the mine, and the two of them changed their faces, and then quickly stopped talking and rushed towards the source of the sound.

Before I arrived, I ran into the miners who had escaped on the road, and those miners walked in a hurry through the mine road, looking slightly weird.

Xiao Chen's heart was shocked, the low-level dry corpse should not have such a great deterrent, and he actually scared these miners into this way, and quickly found the overseer to ask.

The overseer's face turned pale and said: "Two little adults, hurry up, I don't know what was dug up this time, two mutant dried corpses came out at once, and half of our brothers died." ”

The two mutated dried corpses, Xiao Chen's brows furrowed, and he suddenly fell into deep thought, the so-called mutated dried corpses were the dried corpses that Ye Wen had spent a lot of effort killing that day.

Today, two heads actually appeared at once, what did they dig out to lead out the two mutated corpses, could it be a high-grade spirit stone.

In any case, I still have to check the situation, and then I can't take these people's word for it.

These miners just ignore them for now, there is such a big thing, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask them to mine today.

After taking out the map and asking the overseer about the location of the incident, Xiao Chen immediately took Mu Xinya towards the place where the incident occurred, and ran quickly, and his divine sense spread more than two hundred meters around his body regardless of consumption.

"Stop!" Xiao Chen, who was moving quickly, suddenly stretched out his hand, signaled Mu Xinya behind him to stop, and took the map to compare it with the place where the incident occurred, leaving only a distance of more than 600 meters.

More than six hundred meters, for a martial artist in the Martial Venerable realm, it is just a few breaths of time.

The strength of the mutant dry corpse is conservatively estimated to have the strength of a low-grade martial artist. Xiao Chen didn't dare to be careless, if he dared to break in, he would lose his life if he was not careful.

Turning his consciousness into a thin thread, he slowly spared it.

A moment later, Xiao Chen saw the scene of the place where the incident occurred, a mess of the ground, full of miners' corpses, and the hearts of the corpses were all taken out.

There was blood on the ground, and Xiao Chen's divine sense turned around inside, but he unexpectedly did not find the existence of the dried corpse.

Strange, where did these cannibalistic dried corpses go, Xiao Chen thought suspiciously, and carefully searched his divine sense up and down the surroundings, but still did not find the existence of dried corpses.

After repeatedly confirming it, Xiao Chen took Mu Xinya to the scene of the incident and began to look for what the miners said they had dug up.

Seeing so many miners die tragically for the first time, Mu Xinya's face was a little ugly, Xiao Chen patted her on the shoulder when he saw this, and comforted: "Don't think too much, this kind of thing can't be avoided, they all signed a life and death contract before they came, and if they die, their families will get a lot of compensation." ”

"For them, there are no regrets, and they have thought of this from the moment they signed the life and death contract. ”

Mu Xinya's face was still a little ugly, and she forced a smile and said, "I know, hurry up and find what they said!"

The two began to look around, and before they came, Xiao Chen had used his divine sense to shoot many times, but they didn't find it. Now I came here in person, and I started to rummage, but I still didn't find what the overseer said.

Was the overseer lying, or was the two corpses killed and taken the dug up with them?

Compared with the latter, Xiao Chen was more willing to believe in the former, because if the answer was the latter, it would mean that these two mutated corpses already had simple spiritual intelligence.

If this is the case, it will be an extremely terrifying thing, and the strength of a dry corpse with spiritual intelligence is much more difficult to deal with than a dry corpse without spiritual intelligence and only relying on instinct to fight.

If these two dried corpses were lurking for a long time and had been cultivating in this cave, maybe their cultivation would increase even more terrifyingly, and they would become corpse king-like existences, Xiao Chen felt a little shudder when he thought about it.

"Don't look for it, it's already clear that the two dried corpses took the things away. Xiao Chen said slowly, although he didn't want this answer in his heart, but in all these ways, the facts were already obvious in front of him.

There's no way the Overseer could lie to him, because he simply couldn't get out of the tunnel. If you lie to him, you will be punished immediately if you find out, unless you don't die.

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he took Mu Xinya and hurriedly ran towards the headquarters, such a big thing happened, it was no longer something they could solve.

Seeing Ye Wen at the headquarters, Xiao Chen told Ye Wen everything about it, and Ye Wen's two brows furrowed tightly together: "Where did those surviving miners go?"

Xiao Chen replied, "If such a big thing happened, I let them go down to rest." ”

"You go to the dormitory and get the overseer to meet me. Ye Wen turned to one person and ordered, and then said to Xiao Chen and the others: "You are accompanying me to the place where the incident occurred." ”

Running back and forth, everyone was a little dissatisfied, but Xiao Chen had to endure it at the moment, and took Ye Wen back to the place of the incident again.

After arriving, Ye Wen began to check carefully without saying a word, and after half a ring, the person who was ordered by Ye Wen to bring the overseer came over with an anxious face.

"Elder Ye, this group of people was not found in the collective dormitory, and the miners who were on shift today, as well as the miners in other places, also said that they did not see this group of people at all. I looked around myself, but I couldn't find it, and it was as if the group had disappeared. ”

Xiao Chen's heart was shocked, and he said in a lost voice: "How is it possible!"

How could it disappear he and Mu Xinya clearly saw it, and it was a large group of miners, Xiao Chen thought in his heart with great doubts.

Mu Xinya also said strangely beside her, "Impossible, we saw at least twenty miners on the way, and the overseer also talked to us, how could they disappear." ”

Ye Wen pondered for a while and said, "Don't worry about this matter, I will send someone to investigate, and you will continue to inspect." ”
