Chapter 1598 You Are Cruel Enough
The middle-aged man bowed his head in thought for a long time before carefully answering the question.
"For more than a month, everyone has been rumoring that there are red shadow demons appearing in the northern mining area.
Some people saw the red shadow demon and said that it looked like a ferocious giant, with a dark red body and a height of more than three feet.
Some people say that the red shadow demon is a phantom, which looks like a ghost and is very fierce..."
Ji Tianxing frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense, just talk about what the red shadow demon you saw looked like?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then said expectantly: "My lord supervisor, please don't blame me if you are telling the truth.
The red shadow demon that Caomin saw just now was different from the rumored one.
I vaguely saw that it was a dark red blood, like a pool of blood flowing on the ground, and like a layer of dark red gauze..."
Before he could finish speaking, the surrounding miners frowned and retorted with strange expressions.
"What the hell is this guy talking about?"
"What blood, blood and gauze curtains? It's clearly a tall red shadow demon, shaped like a ghost!"
"So many people have seen it with their own eyes, and what they said has their noses and eyes, isn't it unbelievable?"
"I think this guy must have been frightened and stupid at the time, he couldn't see anything clearly, and even had hallucinations!"
The criticism of many miners made the middle-aged man look a little ugly, and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Ji Tianxing knew it well, nodded slightly and said: "Very good, you can tell the truth, you deserve a reward."
After all, a brilliance flashed in his palm, and a few spirit stones and a primordial spirit-level elixir appeared.
"This is for you!"
He waved a flash of light, and sent the spirit stone and the elixir to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a look of surprise. He quickly took the spirit stone and the elixir, knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
"Thank you, Master Supervisor, for the reward!"
The other miners around all showed envy and jealousy when they saw this scene, and started whispering to each other.
Unknowingly, everyone's panic dissipated, and their trust and respect for Ji Tianxing became more and more.
He opened his mouth again and ordered everyone to go back to work in the mine. After hesitating for a moment, everyone returned to the mine one after another.
Wu Xu, Zheng Rong and Bai Kaixuan watched all this in silence, they all admired Ji Tianxing and gave him a thumbs up.
Soon after, a new day came.
More than 200 miners are all engaged in the work of mining the veins.
Ji Tianxing took out the messenger jade slip and sent a summons to Commander Ding, reporting the matter of the 'Red Shadow Demon'.
Not long after, Commander Ding rushed to Wujiu Mine with a team of silver-armored guards.
As soon as the two sides met, Commander Ding asked anxiously: "When did the red shadow demon appear? How many people died? Have you leaked the news?"
Of course Ji Tianxing understood what he was worried about, so he said calmly: "In the early morning of this morning, the red shadow demon broke into the mine and silently killed thirty-nine miners.
Currently, only our four supervisors and the miners present know about this. "
Commander Ding breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "It's good that no news is leaked! You guys have done a good job, you must keep your mouth shut and never leak any news, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Tianxing squinted at him and asked, "Commander Ding, there were originally thousands of miners in the Wujiu Mine, but now there are only more than two hundred left.
Those seven hundred people were all killed by the red shadow demon in the previous month, right? "
"Uh..." Commander Ding froze, his expression became extremely unnatural, and his eyes were a little dodgy.
But he immediately returned to normal, and said with a dignified expression: "The four of you just arrived at the mine on the first day, and this happened, I am deeply sorry.
However, you have to tell this seat, who leaked this secret?
Those damned lowly slaves actually violated my orders! "
Ji Tianxing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said bluntly: "Commander Ding, you don't have to hide anything, I have found out the truth of the matter.
But don't worry, we won't run away, let alone let the miners escape from the mine. "
Commander Ding was stunned for a moment, and took a deep look at him, obviously not believing that he had such courage.
It would be impossible for him to stay in the Wujiu Mine for a long time. He is also very afraid of the red shadow demon.
However, he looked at the situation in the mine and saw that the miners were in a stable mood and mining veins, so he believed Ji Tianxing's words.
"Well, your name is Ke Lan, right?
You are very courageous and resourceful, and you are able to appease these lowly slaves. This seat is very optimistic about you! "
He said so on the lips, but secretly sneered in his heart: "Hehe...the ignorant are really fearless!
This kid has just arrived here, and he doesn't know the horror of the red shadow demon at all.
He was so brash, this seat wants to see, how many days can he last?
Forget it, I will appease him first and let him continue to work here. "
Ji Tianxing didn't show politeness to him, and said expressionlessly: "Commander Ding, the tragedy happened last night, and the number of miners has decreased by more than 30, our task cannot be completed.
In order to stabilize the emotions of the miners, and for the sake of confidentiality, please accommodate me and ease the task for us. "
"This..." Commander Ding hesitated immediately, squinted his eyes to look at Ji Tianxing, and said in his heart: "This kid is really scheming, and he even threatened me with this matter!"
But in order to keep the overall situation in mind, in order not to leak the news, he had to swallow his anger.
After a moment of pretentious weighing, he nodded slightly and said: "Ke Lan, I value you so much that I agree to your unreasonable request, you must be grateful.
How about this, your task will be reduced to 8,000 spirit stones and 80 gems per day..."
Ji Tianxing said expressionlessly: "At most, four thousand spirit stones and forty gemstones can be mined every day!"
"Hiss..." Commander Ding gasped, staring at him with cold eyes, "You are so ruthless, just cut me in half!"
Ji Tianxing said calmly: "This is already our limit. Commander Ding must be well aware of it and know how to choose."
Commander Ding took a deep look at him, nodded and said, "Ke Lan, how dare you threaten me, I remember you!"
Ji Tianxing pretended not to understand, frowned and asked, "Did Commander Ding agree?"
Commander Ding snorted angrily, "I can't make the decision on this matter, I have to go back and ask the four guardians for instructions."
"Then I will wait for the good news." Ji Tianxing left this sentence, turned and left.
Commander Ding's teeth itched with anger, but there was nowhere to attack.
He could only hold back his anger, and ordered to the silver armored guards: "What are you still doing in a daze? Get those mummies out quickly!"
The guards didn't dare to neglect, they hurriedly carried away the mummy, packed it into several large boxes, and left the mine in a hurry.
