Chapter 4132 Bloody Mining
"I thought this was just a prison, and the environment was a little better than the outside world, but when I went to the underground floors, I found that the so-called Jiang family was not that simple."
"Master, what did you see?"
Xiao Yi was very curious. What was worthy of Master's attention? Master seemed to have discovered a major secret of the Jiang family this time.
"Do you know that the people imprisoned in the underground floors are all old immortals over three or four hundred years old?"
"What? Three or four hundred years old?"
Zixu nodded. This was indeed surprising. According to the information Xiao Yi knew, the oldest person in the Xiao clan was only more than two hundred years old.
After practicing for more than two hundred years, even if the progress was slow, it was already a powerful person. But Master said that the people imprisoned here were more than three hundred years old. Are there people in this world who have lived for such a long time?
"Three hundred...more than three hundred years old!"
Xiao Yi exclaimed, and then he said to Master.
"The Jiang family is too cruel. Those who have lived to this age are considered ancestors. Would the Jiang family lock up such an important person in such a place?"
"Who told you that the person being held captive is a human being?"
"If not a human being, what else?"
Zixu was not in a hurry, but Xiao Yi was extremely anxious at this moment and wanted to know the inside story.
"Use your brain to think about where this place is and what kind of people have you seen who are over 300 years old."
He reminded Xiao Yi. It was not difficult for Xiao Yi to think of this with his brain. According to the master's reminder, Xiao Yi fell into deep thought.
Since the master said so, he must have seen it before. In that case, what on earth is this thing? He thought of the giant shark he saw before.
I had indeed seen such a huge creature once before. Where exactly is it and why is there no impression in my mind? Just when Xiao Yi turned around and looked out the window, a stingray swam slowly over.
His eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that just before, he met the man-eating fish in the sea, which was also a ray that had lived for many years. Could there be any connection between the two?
The white-haired old man who appeared later was over 300 years old, which was exactly what the master said. Xiao Yi understood something in an instant, and stared at Zixu with a surprised look.
"Master, are you saying... the people imprisoned are the sea monsters?"
"Your brain is still very good."
Zixu's answer was equivalent to telling Xiao Yi that he was right. The people imprisoned in the underground floors were the sea monsters.
"Even I didn't expect that the sea monsters did exist in this world. What's more surprising is that the Jiang family actually caught them and imprisoned them in such a secret place."
Xiao Yi frowned. He had contact with the sea monsters several times, and Liu Han was a sea monster. Their nature was not that bad.
It was only because the existence and appearance of humans disturbed their habitat and posed a huge threat to their survival that they had to attack humans.
But the white-haired old man said that those who were active in the human world were only the weak ones among the sea monsters. People like him would never easily appear in the human world.
"What is the Jiang family going to do? Why did they capture the sea monsters? And how did they do it?"
With a series of questions, Xiao Yi wanted to ask clearly. Zixu had his own opinion on this question.
Along the way, he saw the modern technological civilization of the Jiang family, and all of this was supported by energy stones. Without energy stones, the Jiang family would be like losing blood.
Just like the industrial revolution without coal resources, energy stones are their lifeblood and have a great relationship.
"According to my etiquette, the reason why they want to capture the sea monster is mostly because of the energy stone."
"Master, what do you mean..."
"Do you remember what the girl said before? The mining of the Jiang family's energy stone is all carried out in the deep sea. In addition to the corresponding equipment, the more important thing is that the personnel involved in the mining must have very high strength requirements."
Xiao Yi recalled that Jiang Wan did say this before. Most of the miners were strong men from the Jiang family. They took professional equipment and dived into the deep sea of several thousand meters.
And even with such a lineup, some people would die in the mining process. The technology of the Jiang family is so advanced that casualties are definitely not a problem with the equipment.
"Could it be that the energy stone mined by the Jiang family clashed with the sea monster clan, so some people from the Jiang family died in the hands of the sea monster clan in this process, and the Jiang family also captured members of the sea monster clan as a threat."
Xiao Yi speculated that the mining of energy stones was stained with too much blood, and a war would inevitably break out. The contradictions between the two sides continued to intensify, and casualties were inevitable.
It's just that this sea is where the sea monsters live. For their own interests, the Jiang family has brought harm to others. In order to keep their mechas developing, they have to fight one battle after another.
"Now it seems possible. The masters of the sea monsters who were imprisoned are not simple in strength. They were able to be caught and imprisoned here, which shows that the Jiang family still has some ability and means."
Zixu wanted to remind Xiao Yi not to underestimate this family. What Xiao Yi saw before was just the surface. How could the real dark side inside be easily shown to others?
Xiao Yi should not think that everything is as simple as he thought, especially the old lady of the Jiang family. The Jiang family still has many hidden secrets that he does not know. It is always good to be more careful. ,
"I just heard that they will start mining tomorrow. The mining time is on the night of the full moon, which means that it can only be carried out one day every month."
"I would like to see it, but I am locked up in this place. Without the intention of the old woman, don't think about getting out of here."
Xiao Yi has no choice. In order to let the old woman calm down, he had to choose to be locked up in this place. If he wants to get out, he can't do it with his current strength.
"I think that during the mining process of the Jiang family, something special will definitely happen. At that time, the old lady of the Jiang family will come to you in person to ask you to help them overcome the difficulties."
"Master, where do you get the confidence from? The old lady wants to lock me up here for life. If it weren't for my identity, it would be a talisman."
Zixu showed a mysterious smile on his face. Why did he say that? There must be a reason in the middle. As for what it is, he can't tell Xiao Yi for the time being.
