Chapter 2290

The originally inconspicuous little fellow had suddenly turned into a demon with fangs. The other miners were frightened and subconsciously retreated.

To be able to change their fates, the Holy Black Crystal was precious. However, no matter how precious it was, it was not as precious as their lives.

They had been trapped here for so many years, living like the lowest level of mortals. How big of a difference was there between this and the high and mighty life of a Saint King?

But they still chose to live like this. They did not choose to give up. In their hearts, their lives were more important than anything else.

Looking at Zi Chen, they began to retreat. They retreated in a very orderly manner, as if they were watching out for the black snake that might appear.

Zi Chen did not stop these people. If they were in the outside world, they would all be strong cultivators. Even in this world, they were at the bottom, but they still had strong physical bodies. If it were not for the sharpness of the broken sword, not only would they have been safe, but even he and the old man would have died here.

Everyone retreated. Seeing that Zi Chen did not chase after them, they did not continue mining in the mine.

Perhaps it was because they were too scared, but they all turned and left the mine.

The old man came forward. He looked a bit messy, but his smile was like a blooming chrysanthemum. When he came in front of Zi Chen, he nodded and said, "Not bad. Not bad at all!"

"I almost died here, but you seem to be very happy." Zi Chen walked back into the mine and wrapped the cloth around the broken knife.

The old man followed him into the mine. It was rare for him to carry the bamboo basket. He did not hide his smile. "Of course I am happy. We have gained a lot today.

Plus, I have good news for you. We are moving. "

"Move?" Zi Chen was a little startled when he heard that.

The old man pointed at the dead Wu Lu and said with a smile, "Among these people, Wu Lu is quite famous. He obtained a piece of Sacred Black Crystal. Although it wasn't big as he said, those people tried to snatch it, but it wasn't directly related to its size.

Back then, he used that Holy Crow Crystal to trade for a stone house like this. I was jealous of him for a long time. Now that you have killed him, his belongings belong to us. So, we can move. "

"Does no one care about this place?" Zi Chen asked with confusion.

"Who would care about the people at the bottom?

Here, whoever had the biggest fist was the law.

Whoever had more money would be the one in the right.

Let's go, today's harvest is not small, let's go back and move! "The old man carried the bamboo basket, looking very proud.

"There's nothing in that lousy house. What else is there to move?" Zi Chen muttered.

"That makes sense. Wu Lu's residence must have everything. Let's not move and go directly to Wu Lu's residence."

When they went down the mountain, they didn't encounter anything else.

On the contrary, after returning to the village, Zi Chen discovered that many of the villagers, who were rarely seen on normal days, had appeared at this moment. Moreover, their gazes all landed on the bamboo basket behind the old man.

The bamboo basket was also made of special materials. Its weight was beyond imagination, and it was also very tough.

"It seems that the news has already spread." Zi Chen's expression turned cold as he walked into the village.

"You didn't kill everyone, so it's natural that the news was leaked.

However, these people aren't stupid. They won't do something like throwing away their lives in vain. "

The old man seemed very calm. Although he didn't greet others wherever he went, his expression was very relaxed.

Moreover, the place he went was not his own residence, but one of the few stone houses in this village.

During this period, Zi Chen saw Jia Tu and Huang Tu and nodded to the other party. The latter obviously didn't understand the situation here, but he could sense the hostility of these people, so there was a hint of worry in his eyes when he looked at Zi Chen.

"Hey, blacksmith, I'm moving.

If you have time, come to my house for a drink. "

The old man said to the blacksmith beside Jia Tu and Huang Tu. He was the only blacksmith in the village. The black iron that Zi Chen and the others exchanged was all from the blacksmith.

"Moving, where are you moving to?

There shouldn't be any houses built here recently, right? "

The blacksmith frowned and said. Although he had a deal with the old man, the two of them weren't familiar with each other. The other party shouldn't have greeted him like this.

In this world, most people were strangers to each other.

"Wu Lu gave me the stone house. I'm moving there." The old man smiled proudly.

Hearing the old man's words, the expressions of the others around him changed. There was also a hint of fear in their eyes when they looked at the old man.

Obviously, Wu Lu Luneng gave the most valuable house to the old man. On the other hand, it meant that Wu Lu was already dead.

"You really need to change that old house of yours. Otherwise, the wind at night will definitely blow you away." The blacksmith replied, then turned around and walked towards his residence.

"What are you standing there for? Why aren't you coming in to forge?"

Jia Tu and Huang Tu were stunned. Then, they smiled apologetically at Zi Chen and turned to enter the room. Soon, the sound of hammering iron could be heard from inside.

The expressions of the surrounding villagers kept changing as they watched the two of them leave.

They had heard the news earlier that the old man had obtained a large piece of Sacred Black Crystal, which was very valuable.

Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, when they saw the bamboo basket, they were sure that the news was true.

Moreover, Wu Lu was dead, which proved that the news was true.

However, because of Wu Lu's death, they were afraid and didn't dare to act rashly.

No one was in charge here, so there were naturally no rules. However, everyone cherished their lives. They didn't know how Wu Lu died, so they naturally didn't know the old man, so they could only watch quietly.

…

…

In the blacksmith's shop, Jia Tu and Huang Tu, who had successfully advanced from igniter to apprentice, asked while selecting high-quality black iron, "Ancestor, could that news be true?"

"I hope it's false.

If it's really a piece of Sacred Black Crystal the size of a human head, then the two of them won't live to see tomorrow. "The blacksmith sneered.

"How is that possible?

When those people heard the news of Wu Lu's death, they were all frightened. "Jia Tu and Huang Tu put down the black iron in their hands and looked at the blacksmith in confusion.

"There are several villages within a radius of dozens of miles.

Wu Lu's death can scare the people in this village, but it can't scare the others. "

The blacksmith shook his head and said, "A piece of Sacred Black Crystal can even tempt me, let alone the others."

"Then what should we do?" Wu Lu was bewildered, asking worriedly.

"What should we do?

It's their business. It has nothing to do with us.

Anyway, we didn't snatch it. It's already giving the old man enough face. "

The blacksmith snorted and said, "Although we're all trapped here and can't get out, we still have different factions in our hearts. The old man came from the life star. It's not a secret. This time, he got such a big harvest. He can only blame his bad luck."

Looking at Jia Tu and Huang Tu's changing faces, the blacksmith warned them, "Kid, I'm telling you, don't meddle in other people's business.

This kind of thing isn't something we can participate in. Perhaps Jia Tu's people will be implicated. "

"Zi Chen came with us this time. He's one of Jia Tu's people. If something like this happens, should we just stand and watch?" said Jia Tu and Huang Tu.

"It's true that he came with us, but he's not one of Jia Tu's people!

Remember, it has nothing to do with you. Your mission is to learn everything here and then go to the town to find a way to survive. "

Then, the blacksmith's smithy resounded again. It seemed the blacksmith had made up his mind. Even if the sky outside collapsed, it had nothing to do with him.

…

…

They came to Wu Lu's stone house. Indeed, it had everything they needed. Although it wasn't a big house, it was much better than the old man's house.

The old man was very satisfied with this. Zi Chen, who was sitting at the side, suddenly thought of something and said, "Wait, my Black Iron is still hidden under the room. Could someone have stolen it?"

"It's a secret place. No one should have stolen it, right?" said the old man after thinking for a while.

"But what if someone stole it?

We've been saving it for a long time, "said Zi Chen worriedly.

"Yeah, it makes sense.

We don't need to go to that shabby house anymore. We should take it back. "The old man nodded.

Zi Chen was about to stand up. Most of the things in that house were his harvest. Of course, he couldn't just throw them away.

"Let me go. There's a lot of things. It won't be easy for you to carry them alone."

As he spoke, the old man put the empty bamboo basket back on his back and walked out of the stone house.

Zi Chen didn't refuse. Watching the old man leave, he sat down on a stone bench and took out the scabbard on his back. He grabbed a dead green snake.

He had killed this green snake when he left the mountain. Zi Chen, who had been through many battles, knew very well how great the effects of a good item could be.

Some people would stop because of reason, but others would go crazy because of greed.

Carefully smearing the poison on the broken blade, Zi Chen thought back to the previous battle.

He was able to easily kill three Saint Kings. It wasn't because he was powerful, but because the broken blade was sharp enough.

The environment here limited the Saint Kings' battle prowess. Without sharp weapons, it was difficult for them to fight each other to the death.

But with sharp weapons, they could easily break through their defenses.

The only thing the Saint Kings relied on was useless, so they naturally died.

Of course, the green snake's poison also played an important role in ending the battle so quickly.

Even Saint Kings could be poisoned to death. It seemed that this green snake, known as a divine snake, was indeed extraordinary.

Fortunately, it was only its poison that was strong. It was lacking in other aspects, so it was easy to deal with.

Just as he smeared all the poison in the green snake's body on the blade, Zi Chen heard a commotion outside.

He raised his head in confusion, preparing to go out and investigate.
