Chapter 2288

The entire cave was filled with a black light. The light was pure black, but it was very bright.

This was pure black, pure black and bright.

A pile of rocks fell, and at the place where the rocks fell, there was a palm-sized stone.

The pure black light came from this stone.

With just one look, Zi Chen knew that this was a valuable item.

Its quality was much, much higher than the Black Iron from before.

Just as Zi Chen was about to go forward and take a look, he heard the old man's dignified voice. "Go and block the entrance!"

His voice was low, and his expression was very dignified.

Zi Chen, who had experienced many things, knew very well what this expression meant. He wondered if there was such a thing as killing and robbing in this world, but he did not stop and dashed towards the entrance of the cave.

He had to block the entrance of the cave in the shortest time possible.

The sound of metal clanging could be heard when he was moving at high speed, but suddenly, it stopped.

The huge cave suddenly became dead silent, and not a single sound could be heard.

Zi Chen knew that something was wrong. It was obvious that the black light had shone outside. No matter how fast he was, he could not be faster than the real light.

He slowed down as he moved forward. When he reached the entrance of the cave, he saw a strong man standing there with a pickaxe. His pair of burning eyes were fixed on the entrance of the cave.

Zi Chen had seen this strong man before. He was from the same village as him, and he lived in a stone house. It was obvious that he lived a good life.

His upper body was bare, and the bulging muscles on his body made him look strong and powerful.

Beside him, Zi Chen could see two old men. Their eyes were originally filled with weariness, but now it was different. Their eyes were shining brightly.

Zi Chen, who had slowed down, stopped when he was five meters away from the entrance of the cave, and looked ahead vigilantly.

He believed that there must be other miners beside these three people, in places where he could not see.

Under the black light, Zi Chen, who was wearing a patched robe, had a distorted face.

"Little doll, did you find anything good in here?"

To people like them who had lived here for a long time, Zi Chen, who had only been here for a little over two months, was indeed a little child, not worth mentioning at all.

Zi Chen stared at him in silence.

"Hehe, did you discover the Sacred Black Crystal?" the muscular man asked again. His eyes flashed with greed.

Zi Chen still didn't respond. The black light behind him grew stronger and stronger.

"Are you mute?

Do you believe I won't tear you apart? "The burly man's face sank when he saw Zi Chen remain silent. His greedy eyes revealed a wisp of icy cold killing intent.

As he spoke, the burly man took a step forward. Although he didn't suppress his aura, Zi Chen felt a sense of pressure.

Just like a child encountering an adult with a gloomy face, it was inevitable that he would feel fear.

"Wu Lu, don't bully the child. Come at me if you dare!"

An old but cold voice sounded from behind Zi Chen. An old man with a bamboo basket on his back, two pickaxes in his right hand, and a crystal larger than an adult's palm in his left hand walked out.

When the burly man named Wu Lu's gaze fell on the crystal, he couldn't look away.

Soon after, several more heads appeared in Zi Chen's line of sight. When they saw the crystal in the old man's hand, they all revealed excited expressions, their eyes flashing with greed.

The old man calmly walked in front of Zi Chen and handed the smaller pickaxes to Zi Chen. "Little guy, remember, no matter what, you can't throw away this thing in your hand.

This is the foundation of our survival! "

Zi Chen nodded and solemnly accepted the pickaxes. His heart, which wasn't very nervous, calmed down.

Amidst this calmness, there was even a little bit of excitement. This excitement came from the depths of his heart about the battle that was about to break out.

The old man took a step forward. His short stature completely blocked Zi Chen's path. With his back facing Zi Chen, he looked at those people and said, "Don't make things difficult for a child!"

"Old man, let's cut the crap. According to the rules, everyone has a share!" the burly man said as he raised the pickaxes in his hands and pointed at the old man.

"That's right, old man. Everyone has a share!" an old man next to him said.

"It's rare for you to have such a great harvest over the years. It's only right that you give us a share," another person said.

When he saw the three people who had spoken, the old man shook his head and said, "Everyone has a share? Since when is this a rule?

Wu Lu, if I remember correctly, you dug up a piece of Sacred Black Crystal and used it to exchange for a stone house. Did you give us a share? "

"And the two of you, Parry, Dela, since you came here, you have also dug up Sacred Black Crystals, right? However, I don't think you've shared them with everyone, right?"

"That's not the same. The Sacred Black Crystal I dug up last time was only as thick as a finger. It simply wasn't enough to share."

As Wu Lu spoke, the two people next to him nodded.

The old man named Dela said, "Old man, everyone has been mining here for the past few years and has lived in harmony.

If you had only obtained a little bit of Sacred Black Crystal, we wouldn't have said anything. However, the Sacred Black Crystal you obtained today is too big.

The value of such a large piece is simply immeasurable. Aren't you ashamed to take it all for yourself? "

"Everyone has been mining together for the past few years. You all know what kind of person I am. I don't care about these things.

Normally, I wouldn't mind, but this is definitely not the case today.

This belongs to this little fellow and can only belong to him. He has to leave this place! "the old man said as he looked at these people.

"What? Give it to him?

Old man, are you crazy? "Wu Lu was stunned as he stared at Zi Chen in disbelief.

"He's still young. His future achievements are limitless. He can't be like us and stay here forever!" the old man said seriously.

"Old man, I didn't expect you to be so noble.

No wonder you've been here for so many years and haven't taken a step forward. There aren't many people left at the same time as you, right? "

A trace of ridicule appeared on Wu Lu's face. "Since you're so noble, then take care of me.

Speaking of which, you should be very clear about my potential. I'm much stronger than this little child.

If you give the Sacred Black Crystal to him, he'll only die faster. If you give it to me, I'll still remember your kindness. "

Looking at the old man's indifferent expression, Wu Lu sneered and said, "Old man, if you really can't make up your mind, then I'll help you.

As long as I kill this little child, you'll decisively hand over the Sacred Black Crystal. "

The old man looked at Wu Lu but didn't say anything. He turned to the others and said, "What about you guys? Do you all have the same idea?"

The others felt uncomfortable being stared at by the old man, but when they saw the huge piece of Sacred Black Crystal in the old man's hand, their expressions became serious. One of the old men said, "Old man, if there is wealth, everyone should share it. Your actions are too selfish.

Today, you have to give us the Sacred Black Crystal. Then, we'll share it equally. "

The old man looked at them and nodded. The others immediately looked happy as they thought the old man had agreed.

Unexpectedly, the old man turned around and put down the bamboo basket. At the same time, he handed the Sacred Black Crystal to Zi Chen and said, "I haven't exercised my body for many years. Today, I can do it.

I'm rusty with the mining technique I created that year. Today, I can practice it. "

Zi Chen received the Sacred Black Crystal with both hands. It was heavy, much heavier than he had expected. Besides his own weight, the old man's protectiveness was even heavier.

He didn't know the old man's name, but he had protected him like that.

Was it because he was the one who defied the natural order of the life star?

But this old man had been separated from the life star for a long time. Let alone the life star, perhaps the entire Martial Warrior family had forgotten about him.

Along the way, Shi Yan had seen all kinds of shameless people. He had seen all kinds of reasons to kill people to steal their treasures. Thus, he wasn't angry at these shameless people.

Because he had killed so many people like this, he didn't mind killing more.

What he cared about was the old man's attitude and his protectiveness.

As he didn't want to break the old man's protectiveness, Zi Chen nodded and said, "Okay!

Today, I'll be a spectator! "

The old man turned around, walking out of the mine with the pickaxe in his hand.

At the moment he walked out of the mine, two pickaxes attacked him from the sides. Their speed was really fast.

They were the two men who had been hiding on both sides of the mine.

The old man raised the pickaxe in his hand. Along with the clanging sound, he had stopped the falling pickaxe.

Then, the old man raised his legs and kicked the two of them away.

"Go to hell!"

In front of him, Ulu's eyes sparkled with cold light. The pickaxe in his hand drew an arc in the air, slashing toward the old man.

The old man bent his waist, dodging the attack. Then, he used the pickaxe to hit Ulu's body, pushing him backward.

Then, the old man spun on the spot and threw a punch. The pickaxe drew a circle, blocking all the attacks coming from the surroundings.

Zi Chen watched the battle in silence. The old man's control of his power was perfect. His moves were also ingenious. The heavy pickaxe in his hand was as light as a feather.

The nearby miners also had good control of their power. However, during the battle, they couldn't get close to the old man. They were blown away, and some of them even coughed up blood.

The pickaxe in the old man's hand danced like the wind, stirring up the water. The people around were struggling.

However, these people's bodies were really tough. After they were knocked down, they could stand up again. They didn't have any wounds. After shaking their heads, they were lively again.

On the other hand, the old man's stamina was rapidly depleting as he fought against several people. His attacks were no longer as sharp as before. He switched from attacking to defending, and then to borrowing the force to dodge.

However, for the time being, he had not lost yet.

Zi Chen placed the bamboo basket on the ground and put the Sacred Black Crystal inside. He leaned the pickaxe against the bamboo basket and placed his right hand on his back.
