Vol 2 Chapter 599: Self-proliferating veins

Xu Yichen glanced at the first fork passing by, and the miner behind him introduced: "This is the main mine of the big mine. The output belongs to Earl Modric. It has been dug down three floors. Dalton is in It’s a pity that he has just..."
Needless to say, everyone understands that the guide who knows this mine tunnel has been eaten by the undead in the previous chaos.
The large pit of Fengshibao is very distinctive. In order to develop minerals as quickly as possible, Earl Modric has issued regulations. Any nobleman can recruit his own mining team to dig tunnels in the large pit, who digs the tunnel, who With the right to mine the tunnel for 25 years, there is no need to pay any taxes.
It was this decree that made Wind's Rest from a small town in a remote area into a big city dominated by a district, but Earl Modric himself also suffered a huge loss.
With the continuous spread and deepening of the tunnels in the big mine, the cost of mining minerals continues to increase, and most nobles in Fengxibao enjoy preferential policies that do not need to pay taxes.
After so many years, Earl Modric was solely responsible for the safety of the big mine. Various safety tasks including ventilation and collapse prevention had to spend a huge amount of wealth every year.
Anyone can see that Earl Modric's ambition is huge, and Wind's Breath is not the end of his ambition, but the starting point.
If this disaster had not happened.
Now most of the residents of this city have become undead and corpses. Even if the plague can be resolved, without three to five years of recuperation, I am afraid that the previous prosperity will not be restored.
Under the guidance of the miners, Xu Yichen turned into the fork, and the size of the mine tunnel was instantly reduced by half. If the warrior Vittoria walked here, she would have to worry about hitting her head.
"We excavated two kilometers along this mine tunnel. There were four branches in the middle, three of which were abandoned." The miner brought his torch close to the wall and blew it hard. A piece of it was embedded in the wall of the cave. The metal plate was exposed, glowing in the flames.
"The property owned by Viscount Amos began in the 79th year of the Yuannan New Calendar"
"Fourteen silver coins per month. This is the minimum income for miners stipulated by Earl Modric." The miner said with regret: "Lord Earl is a good man. It's a pity."
"Take me to the abandoned mine you mentioned." Xu Yichen pointed at Ed: "You go to the end, be careful. If something goes wrong, report it immediately. If you encounter any danger in front of you, take it immediately. People step back!"
Ed, who had just changed his beard to another transcendent, nodded, and moved to the end of the team.
"Don't worry, I still want to go back alive to see the noon sun." Ed wiped the sweat from the palm of his hand on the armor. In this dark mine, the torch can only illuminate the space of more than one meter before and after, except for a few people. Apart from the gasp, only footsteps reverberated.
Everyone knows that there are weirdness below, but no one knows when they will encounter danger. This kind of weird quietness puts a lot of psychological pressure on several survivors.
Especially when Ed was at the end, he had to look back at almost every few steps he took. He always felt that someone was following behind him.
When everyone was moving forward, he could always hear a lonely footstep that was some distance away from the crowd appearing behind him, but when carefully distinguished, he found that the footsteps were exactly the same as the number of people.
Ed felt more and more suspicious, and sometimes he even felt someone pat his armour lightly behind him, and the increasingly sultry air made him sweat.
Xu Yichen felt the sultry and humid air around him. He knew that he had to check the tunnel as soon as possible, otherwise the low-oxygen air would turn everyone including himself into soft-footed shrimp without the chaos demons.
He originally planned to enter the main mine directly. Intuitively, Xu Yichen believed that some clues would be found in the deepest part of the mine. There must be someone there for the three missing senior members of the Brotherhood.
But since this mine tunnel belonged to Viscount Amos, he had to come and take a look.
Right in front of the mine, a black figure stood in the middle of the road. Except for the demon hunter, no one else found it because of the light.
"Stop." Xu Yichen stopped: "There is a problem ahead, I'll check it out."
A few survivors kept a high level of alertness all the way, they were already exhausted, and their reaction was slow, especially Ed, who ran straight into the back of the person in front of them.
"Wait a moment for the replacement." Xu Yichen left a sentence and walked forward alone.
The burly figure stood there without any movement, not even the slightest breath. Xu Yichen was sure that the other party was either a dead person~EbookFREE.me~ or an undead who didn't need to breathe.
So he has already held the [Elegant Ripper] in his hand, and he is a bit grateful, if he is still using [Gnar’s Flame Great Sword], I’m afraid I’ll have to use it as a spear.
The demon hunter stood less than half a metre behind the person in the way, and the opponent still did not respond. He stretched out a finger, and Alderfayin rushed forward along the finger, hitting it with enough power to knock down an adult. On the back of the opponent.
The figure fell forward along the strength like this, fell to the ground, shattered into debris!
Xu Yichen squatted down and inspected the opponent's wreck with the firelight, and found that the residue on the ground was like ore powder, which was almost invisible when mixed on the ground.
One of the senior members of the Brotherhood has become a big gate, who can constantly repair his distortion, and one has become a "death knell", which can briefly awaken the mind of the undead.
Could it be that the three high-levels of the Brotherhood who did not appear, some people have integrated with the big mine itself?
Can it assimilate human beings as part of a big mine? Or is it simply turning living things into part of a big mine?
This is why the group of undead dared not step into the big mine?
Xu Yichen held his breath, smoothed the ore powder piled into a small bag on the ground with his feet, and then said nonchalantly: "Okay, go ahead!"
He studied psychology in the military academy. In this kind of confined space, humans will naturally feel fear, and in this mine, the pressure on the survivors has been enough.
He needs them to be rational.
Xu Yichen held the torch high, and looked around the surrounding rock walls, except for the traces of manual excavation, there was no other abnormality.
This person who was assimilated into minerals had a very stretched movement before, and he was assimilated unconsciously.
