Chapter 280 The Wrath of the Miners
Deep in the mine, Gu Sheng was digging attentively. His mind was quietly released, and the green vine demon soul spread in the darkness, looking for the veins of spiritual energy.
Suddenly, a subtle sound of breaking wind came into his ears. He was startled and immediately raised his head vigilantly.
I saw a short miner holding an iron pick and rushing towards him with a grim smile on his face.
"Boy, hand over the spiritual stone, and I can leave you a whole body!" The short miner said grimly.
Gu Sheng sneered and said, "If you want the spiritual stone, it depends on whether you have the ability."
As he said that, he moved his body, and the Xiaoyao Dengxian Step was instantly performed, turning into a residual image and disappearing on the spot.
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the short miner, but he reacted very quickly, and swung the iron pick and smashed it towards the position where Gu Sheng had just been.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the dust in the mine flew. But Gu Sheng had already appeared behind him, and the golden palm suddenly slapped out, directly hitting the back of the short miner.
The short miner sensed the danger behind him and turned around quickly, sweeping out with his pickaxe.
But Gu Sheng's golden palm was as hard as gold and iron, and it directly shook the pickaxe away and hit the short miner's chest heavily.
"Ah!" The short miner screamed, blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person flew out and hit the wall of the mine heavily.
Gu Sheng did not give him a chance to breathe, and his figure flashed and appeared in front of him again.
The short miner showed fear in his eyes, and he wanted to escape, but it was too late.
Gu Sheng's golden fist suddenly blasted out and directly pierced the short miner's chest.
The short miner's eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes open.
This battle was clean and neat, and Gu Sheng did not give the short miner any chance. His strength once again shocked everyone in the mine.
"What a strong strength!"
"Is this the strength of the peak of the Golden Bone Realm?"
"That golden body is too scary!"
The miners in the mine cave talked about it, and they all showed awe in their eyes.
And the supervisors had their own ulterior motives, and they were also testing Gu Sheng's bottom line and strength.
"Hmph, this guy is really not simple." A supervisor said coldly.
"It seems that we have to be more careful. This guy is not easy to deal with." Another supervisor echoed.
"Fortunately, his storage ring was confiscated. Without weapons, it would be more dangerous!"
Gu Sheng ignored their discussions. He put away the body of the short miner and continued to dig.
He knew that everyone here had ulterior motives. If they wanted to survive here, they had to show enough strength.
He urged the Green Ivy Demon Soul to start looking for the trace of the next spiritual stone.
And this time, he was more cautious and no longer let anyone know his whereabouts.
According to the vein rules summarized by the Green Ivy Demon Soul, Gu Sheng found four or five spiritual stones in just three days.
With a clear direction and a map of the ore veins, Gu Sheng activated the ancient holy body and the excavation speed was still very fast. He didn't even use an iron pickaxe, but directly used the golden claws to dig.
Gu Sheng followed the ore vein rules summarized by the Qingteng Demon Soul and went deeper all the way. Finally, three days later, he came to a small space.
Here, the spiritual energy is so rich that it is almost liquefied, like a dream, intoxicating.
"Mine nest!" Gu Sheng was delighted. He saw hundreds of spiritual stones, which lay there quietly, emitting a charming luster.
Gu Sheng opened the isolation array to isolate this space from the outside world. He sat cross-legged and began to refine these spiritual stones quietly.
As the spiritual stones were refined, Gu Sheng's body seemed to be baptized by a mysterious force.
His golden palm became harder and more powerful, as if it could tear everything apart.
Although his cultivation did not break through, he could feel that he was getting closer and closer to a breakthrough.
"Haha, I really made a lot of money this time!"
Gu Sheng was ecstatic. He felt as if he was in a treasure house. These spiritual stones were his wealth.
Faintly, there was a sound of breaking wind. Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and saw several figures appearing in front of him.
"Good boy, you actually found the mine!" A supervisor grinned.
"These spiritual stones are all ours!" Another miner said greedily.
Gu Sheng sneered and said, "Do you think you can snatch these spiritual stones from me?"
"Humph, boy, don't think you can be arrogant just because you have some strength. This is our territory, and we won't allow you to run wild!" A supervisor shouted.
Gu Sheng stood up, his golden body flowing with brilliant light, and he said coldly: "Then give it a try."
As he said that, he moved and turned into a golden afterimage, rushing towards the supervisors and miners.
His speed was so fast that it seemed to break through the constraints of space, making it impossible for people to see his figure clearly.
"Nine Swords of Gale!" Gu Sheng shouted in a low voice, and the golden sword light burst out instantly, slashing towards the supervisors and miners.
"Swish, swish, swish!" Wherever the sword light passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
The supervisors and miners dodged one after another, but their speed was no match for Gu Sheng.
Soon, several people were hit by the sword light and flew backwards, with blood spurting out of their mouths.
"What a fast speed!"
"This sword light is too scary!"
The others in the mine were shocked by Gu Sheng's strength, and they retreated one after another, not daring to move forward easily.
Gu Sheng did not give them a chance to breathe. He flashed and appeared in front of a supervisor again.
He slapped his golden palm and slapped the supervisor away.
"Who else wants to steal my spiritual stones?" Gu Sheng asked coldly.
Everyone in the mine was shocked by his momentum, and no one dared to answer. They knew that the young man in front of them was so powerful that it was terrifying.
Gu Sheng sneered and continued to dig. When no one was around, he blocked the mine he had dug and secretly refined the spiritual stones inside.
Deep in the mine, Gu Sheng sat alone in a corner, his golden palm slowly stroking the newly dug spiritual stones, his eyes flashing with determination and persistence. The miners around were busy, but no one dared to disturb this powerful young man.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the mine.
The mine elders of the Ji family hurried over with several men, their faces full of seriousness and vigilance.
"Stop!"
The elder shouted, and the voice echoed in the mine.
The miners stopped their work, feeling uneasy.
They knew that the sudden arrival of the elders must mean something important had happened.
The elders' eyes were as sharp as an eagle, sweeping across the faces of every miner.
There was a cold light in his eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.
"Recently, there has been a serious loss of spiritual stones in the mines. I suspect someone has secretly refined them.
Listen to me, from now on, I will search every mine!" The elders' voice was cold and firm.
The miners were immediately in an uproar and talked about it. They were filled with fear and anxiety, fearing that the elders would find out something.
Gu Sheng's heart was also tense, but he quickly calmed down.
He knew that he must not panic at this time, otherwise it would be easy for the elders to see the flaws.
He took a deep breath and released the green vine demon soul. The green vines spread quickly, cleaning every corner of the mine, leaving no trace.
The elders led their men to search the mines one by one. They carefully checked every corner, not letting go of any suspicious trace. The miners stood nervously aside, not daring to breathe.
When the elder came to the mine where Gu Sheng was, his eyes became more fierce.
He looked at Gu Sheng carefully, as if looking for some flaws.
Gu Sheng's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface.
He met the elder's gaze without fear.
"Elder, what advice do you have?" Gu Sheng asked lightly.
The elder stared at him for a while, and didn't seem to find anything unusual.
He frowned, turned around and said to his men: "Continue to search the next mine."
Gu Sheng was relieved, but he didn't let down his guard.
He knew that this time he just escaped by luck, and he might not be so lucky next time.
The elder left the mine with his men, and the miners breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at Gu Sheng, their eyes full of awe and envy. They knew that this young man was not only powerful, but also meticulous, and was not comparable to ordinary people.
Gu Sheng did not stay for too long. He continued to dig for spiritual stones, but he was secretly alert in his heart.
Half a month passed like a flash. Gu Sheng dug silently in the mine, but he was always alert in his heart.
He wielded the pickaxe in his hand more and more skillfully. Every time he dug, it seemed like he was fighting a silent battle with the spiritual stones.
The outside world's discussions came like a tide.
"Gu Sheng is dead this time. How can he dig 10,000 spiritual stones in a month? It's difficult in such a poor place!"
"It's obvious that the Ji family wants to kill this kid! How can he complete this task?"
The voices of gloating were endless, but Gu Sheng seemed to ignore them.
He had his own calculations in his heart. After this period of exploration, he had already explored the general outline of the entire vein.
He believed that as long as he dug according to the direction of the vein, he would be able to find enough spiritual stones.
However, he did not believe what the Ji family said.
Even if he could really dig 10,000 spiritual stones, I'm afraid it would be a dead end at that time.
Therefore, strengthening his strength is his most important task at present.
Just as Gu Sheng was thinking about it, his pickaxe suddenly hit a hard object.
He was moved and hurriedly increased his strength to dig.
Soon, a huge mine appeared in front of him.
In this mine, there were more than 3,000 spiritual stones piled up like a mountain.
Each spiritual stone exuded a strong spiritual energy, as if to illuminate the entire mine.
Gu Sheng looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was so excited that he almost jumped out.
He couldn't help laughing out loud, with excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Hahaha, I'm really rich this time!" He whispered to himself.
In the familiar breath, a burst of wind came. Gu Sheng raised his head suddenly, and saw several figures appeared in front of him.
There was a greedy light in their eyes, obviously attracted by the spiritual energy here.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to really find the mine!" A leader grinned.
"These spiritual stones are all ours!" Another person echoed.
Gu Sheng sneered and said, "You want spirit stones? That depends on whether you have the ability!"
As he spoke, he moved and turned into a shadow, rushing towards those greedy people.
The golden palm slapped out with the power to tear apart space, and directly slapped a person away.
"No, this kid has some tricks!"
The leader's face changed. They didn't expect Gu Sheng's strength to be so strong.
"Boom!"
Gu Sheng didn't give them a chance to breathe.
His figure was like lightning, and his golden palms slapped out repeatedly, repelling those greedy people one by one.
"Boy, don't go too far!" the leader roared.
Gu Sheng sneered and said, "Too much? You came to rob my spirit stones first, right? If you want spirit stones, just take them with your strength!"
As he said, he rushed towards those greedy people again, and a fierce battle unfolded in the mine.
Gu Sheng's body movements were agile, his palms were like knives, and every attack caught the opponent off guard.
Although those greedy people were numerous, they gradually showed signs of defeat under Gu Sheng's strong attack.
After a fierce battle, Gu Sheng finally repelled all those greedy people.
He stood in the mine, looking at the pile of spirit stones in front of him, and his heart was extremely excited.
He blocked all entrances and set up an isolation array.
Then he sat quietly in the mine, refining the spirit stone in his hand as fast as running water.
The green vine demon soul hovered beside him, and every time it swallowed and exhaled, it drove a large amount of spiritual energy to Gu Sheng's body.
The pure spiritual energy poured into Gu Sheng's limbs and bones like a flood, forming a circulation.
His breath became stronger and stronger, and his body seemed to be expanding.
Suddenly, a strong breath burst out from Gu Sheng, as if to overturn the entire mine. The elders of the Ji family sensed this breath and rushed to check.
"Well, you kid dared to secretly refine the spirit stone!"
An elder shouted angrily, and waved his hand, about to slap Gu Sheng to death.
Just at this moment, Gu Sheng's body suddenly burst out with brilliant beams of light. These beams of light rushed straight into the sky, as if to tear the world apart. The powerful breath spread in all directions, shocking everyone.
"This... This is a breakthrough!" Someone exclaimed.
The faces of the elders of the Ji family also changed greatly. They did not expect Gu Sheng to break through at this time.
Gu Sheng felt the surging power in his body, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
He knew that he had finally broken through the marrow refining realm and his strength had reached a new level.
"Hahaha, elders of the Ji family, you came so fast!"
Gu Sheng laughed, his voice full of sarcasm.
"Boy, do you think you can escape from our palms after breaking through?" An elder said coldly.
Gu Sheng sneered and said, "Escape? Why should I escape? Today, let you see my true strength!"
As he said that, he moved his body and turned into a residual image and rushed towards the elders of the Ji family.
"Boom~"
His fist smashed out like a hammer, with the power to tear apart space.
The elders of the Ji family fought back, but Gu Sheng's strength was no longer what it used to be, and their attacks could not pose any threat to him at all.
After a fierce battle, Gu Sheng finally defeated the elders of the Ji family one by one. (End of this chapter)
