Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 219 Robbery
"Okay, let's fill in the pit. The influence of the cold light stone comes from the cold light it emits. It has a fixed range. As long as you don't touch it, you will be fine."

After confirming the conjecture in his heart, Bai Mo asked Zhang Tao to quickly fill in the dug hole, otherwise Zhang Tao would become like everyone else if he was exposed to cold light for a long time.

Although the warm sugar is blended with the juice of the flame flower, at most it can only play a certain role in resisting the influence of the cold stone, and it cannot withstand prolonged exposure.

Zhang Tao didn't say much, quickly buried the pothole, and then returned to Bai Mo with the dimmed cold light stone in his arms, and asked worriedly, "Why doesn't this stone shine anymore?"

"Don't worry, this is a good thing, the glowing cold stone is dangerous, at least you can take it away now."

No problem is fine.

Hearing this, Zhang Tao heaved a sigh of relief, hesitated for a while, and tentatively asked: "Just now you said that becoming a practitioner...is it really possible?"

So far, there are still only two mainstream paths for extraordinary people, one is the path of the capable person, and the other is the path of the practitioner.

Capable people are completely determined by innate, the threshold is very high, which cannot be copied.

Although becoming a cultivator requires source stones and sufficient compatibility as two relatively harsh preconditions, it is still much easier than becoming a capable person. After all, it is possible to achieve it with acquired hard work.

As we all know, the prerequisite for becoming a practitioner is to obtain a Taoism, and there is only one way to obtain the Taoism, which is to unlock the source stone, so the importance of the source stone can be imagined. It is not impossible to describe.

No one knows why the source stones exist. They only know that each source stone contains all kinds of strange Taoism. As long as there is enough compatibility with it, one can obtain a Taoism through the source stone and become a practitioner from then on.

Of course, the difficulty is not low, not to mention whether you can find the origin stone, even if you find it, the problem of compatibility will stump a large number of people. Some people spend a lifetime getting countless source stones, but in the end the degree of compatibility is not enough Examples are not rare.

Up to now, the origin stone has been basically monopolized by the big forces, that is to say, if you want to have a chance to become a practitioner, you must find a way with these forces.

Of course, it is impossible to mine all the source stones, so many people still have the idea of ​​hitting their luck, hoping that one day they can change their destiny.

In fact, regarding the origin stone, some people have conjectured a long time ago that the origin stone may be the "inheritance" left by the transcendent in the past era. The biggest evidence is that a series of fighting methods such as the sword method, the sword method and the stick method in Taoism, Obviously, it can't be conceived by nature, but it's more like it was born for human beings.

It's just that this conjecture has never received more evidence, because no one has ever found traces of the past era, and it will soon disappear.

At least this is not something that ordinary people should consider.

There are too many unsolved mysteries about the era of the restricted area. Even though Xue Hongyu, a talented researcher of the parliament, has made breakthroughs in the research of the restricted area in the past six months, there is no doubt that there is still a long way to go before the day when the restricted area is truly unveiled. A long way to go.

In any case, at least until today, there is still only one way to become a practitioner, and that is to obtain the Taoism in the origin stone. Zhang Tao has never heard of becoming a practitioner through other means.

He was more in his head just now, after all, the cold light stone was indeed strange enough, but when he calmed down now, he suddenly became a little worried about gains and losses.

...he fears that his hopes will be dashed.

"Of course it's possible."

At this moment, Bai Mo's calm voice sounded, he nodded and said, "But now is not the time to talk about this, let's tell you when we go back."

He intentionally kept it a secret, and his calm tone seemed to give people an inexplicable sense of conviction.

Although Zhang Tao is very curious, he also understands how important this topic is and cannot be easily discussed outside.

At this moment, as if he remembered something, he suddenly asked: "Why are there so many cold stones here? If you can take them away, wouldn't you be rich..."

But even though he said so, his face was more worried, and his intuition told him that something was wrong.

Bai Mo didn't answer, but asked instead: "How long have you guys been digging in this mine?"

Zhang Tao thought about it, and said with some uncertainty: "It's been at least three months. When I came here, the mining work of Hansheng Mine was already in progress."

"So you've dug pretty deep, haven't you?"

"That's right, at least the work area has probably been dug down tens of meters... Is there any problem?"

"That's right." After a short pause, Bai Mo said calmly, "This means that you are almost digging to the bottom."

Dig to the bottom...

Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "You mean...there are all cold stones here?"

"Yes."

Bai Mo said with a half-smile, "And if you continue to dig, you will probably become like them."

Zhang Tao followed the direction of his finger and looked at those people who moved strangely. He couldn't help but shuddered, and then worried: "Is there any way for them to recover from this situation?"

"Yes, as long as they can avoid the cold stone's light for a period of time, their blood will start to flow again, and their body consciousness will recover soon—"

"Just like that guy down there."

It's good to be able to recover, Zhang Tao just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard Bai Mo's last sentence, his expression changed instantly, and he said dully: "You just said 'the guy below'... what does that mean? "

"literal meaning."

Bai Mo said unhurriedly, "If you can dig through this layer of cold light stone before turning into an 'ice sculpture', you will naturally be able to see the guy sleeping underground."

Zhang Tao felt as if he couldn't understand Bai Mo's words more and more.

Did he mean that at the bottom of the Hansheng Mine, there was actually someone sleeping?
How can it be!

During the shock, Bai Mo's calm voice continued to sound.

"As you imagined, this place is probably not a mine, but a cemetery. As for the so-called rare ore, maybe it's just that guy's funeral." Bai Mo smiled.

"cemetery?"

Zhang Tao couldn't believe it, and even blurted out the word "cemetery".

Bai Mo didn't continue talking, but suddenly looked at those motionless people.

"Although the cold light stone's light has the effect of freezing the blood of living creatures, it is not enough to change people's movements—but you see, they are all in the same pose now... Although it looks funny, doesn't it look like Like some sort of gesture of greeting?"

Zhang Tao's expression froze.

He took a closer look, and after listening to Bai Wu's words, it seemed that he really had such a meaning...

Bai Mo continued: "You might as well think about it, if you continue to dig, when you dig through the luminous stone layer, then all of you will become like this, staying in the mine half dead until someone wakes up." Come and be his slave."

A similar picture instantly appeared in Zhang Tao's mind: all the miners were in strange postures, alive but without consciousness, and the stiff movers were like dancers dominated by others, just to meet someone. people's awakening...

He was creepy.

If this is the case, no matter whether it is coal mines or iron mines, including rare ores such as zhaoshi, it seems that they are more like paying in advance to buy their lives!
"This kind of thing... Brother Bai, are you sure?"

After a brief silence, Bai Mo shook his head: "Not sure, this is just my guess, but I still suggest that it is best not to mine here in the future."

"This..." Zhang Tao seemed a little hesitant, and said after a while, "Then should we tell other people about this?"

Bai Mo glanced at him. He thought this guy was hesitating whether to give up his job in the mine. After all, it was hard to find a stable job in the buffer zone. He didn't expect that the other party was hesitant about this.

He threw the question back: "What do you think?"

"I think?" Zhang Tao thought about it seriously, and then smiled wryly, "I think... Even if I tell you, people may not believe it."

"Then do you believe it?" Bai Mo asked again.

"I believe."

Zhang Tao said without hesitation, "I can see that you are different from us, definitely not ordinary people."

Bai Mo was noncommittal, thought for a while and said, "You can remind them, but don't reveal my guesses. Knowing too much may not be a good thing."

Although he doesn't care about the life and death of those worthless people, he knows that Zhang Tao is a kind person. If he knows that there is danger but fails to warn others, he will feel bad in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhang Tao's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and then he put the cold light stone into his clothes, his arms suddenly bulged, he was about to climb out of the mine, but stopped after thinking about it, and took it on the ground Two stones.

This is his reward for mining today.

Bai Mo didn't take anything, but just followed Zhang Tao out of the mine.

As soon as they left the mine, the two were subjected to strict scrutiny by the robot. One was to confirm their human identities, and the other was to confirm whether they had taken too much ore.

The tasks of these robots are very clear, there should be a set of fixed procedures, and they don't care what happens under the mine, they are only responsible for the review of the entry and exit of the mine.

Looking closely, the other people who fled before hadn't left yet, but gathered in twos and threes at a stone pile not far from the mine, sitting and resting on the stone, looking towards the direction of the mine from time to time, as if they were waiting wearing something.

Seeing someone coming out of the mine, someone's eyes lit up in the crowd, and he quickly got up to meet him.

"Brother Tao, why did you come out? What's going on in the mine now? Did anything happen to you?"

The person who came had a smile on his face, it was Xiao Fan who Bai Mo had met a few times before, followed by a few strong young men, with a rather frivolous expression on his face, and there was a faint tendency to surround Zhang Tao and the two of them.

Bai Mo remained calm, why couldn't he see that this guy was concerned about Zhang Tao's safety on the surface, but he was actually investigating the situation in the mine, and his eyes kept glancing into Zhang Tao's arms, and he didn't know that he was playing. what an idea.

Faced with the questioning, Zhang Tao showed a look of fear on his face: "It was really dangerous in the mine just now, but we were lucky to escape."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but Wu Fan's eyes flickered, and he asked, "What's so dangerous? What about the others?"

He knew very well that these two people were not the only ones who stayed in the mine just now.

"Others are not so lucky. They all turned into ghosts like Wang Yao, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive."

Zhang Tao showed a worried expression. He did not tell the information given by Bai Mo, but showed that he knew nothing.

Hearing this, everyone immediately whispered.

"Then how did you survive?" Wu Fan looked at Zhang Tao's expression and asked again.

"Because we were far away at that time, but other people insisted on getting close to that glowing stone, and it didn't take long for them to become like Wang Yao, who was infiltrating just looking at them."

"Cut." Wu Fan sneered, "Those guys are trying to get that piece of glowing ore, I guess! A group of fools who really think they can take anything. No, they're going to die, right?"

He spat hard, then glanced at Zhang Tao's bulging clothes inadvertently, and asked with a smile: "Brother Tao, you are quite calm, and you never forget to bring the ore you dug out when you run away."

These words seemed to have some inexplicable meaning, Zhang Tao only felt that there were many hot eyes on him.

He soon realized that he and Bai Wu had stayed under the mine for too long, arousing the suspicion of others.

They think the glowing ore is on them!
"It's been a busy day anyway, I have to get some rewards in exchange for money."

He smiled helplessly, and without covering it up, he lifted off his thick clothes, revealing two illuminated stones and a corner of a black stone inside.

"Two pieces of Zhaoshi and one piece of iron ore. I'm so lucky. After several months of digging, I can only find this kind of thing."

Bai Mo was surprised. This guy looked honest, but he didn't expect to be an acting school, and his inner quality didn't matter.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked, and found that what Zhang Tao held in his arms was really zhaoshi and black iron ore, not the glowing stone, and the suspicion in their hearts dissipated a lot.

They were not worried that Zhang Tao would have a way to hide the fourth ore. You must know that the scanning technology of those robots is much better than theirs.

"Don't say that."

Seeing Zhang Tao put away the ore with a wry smile, Wu Fan took a deep look at him, and a smile soon formed on his face, "People are always lucky, and when they find something good, they will fly into the sky?"

Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hahaha, with your good words, if you can really dig out the rare ore next time, I will invite you to Donglai Tavern for a drink!"

"How can Qizhen be enough, at least you have to dig out the source stone?" Wu Fan was also laughing.

"..."

The two of you talked to each other, and they looked like they were talking happily.

Seeing this, other people who planned to look for a chance to take a closer look at the ore in Zhang Tao's hand could only shake their heads and put away their thoughts.

This kid Wu Fan is very powerful, he has a lot of people around him, and most of them are young and strong people of the same age, and they are also ruthless. Make a knot.

So without any danger, Zhang Tao and Zhang Tao left the Hansheng Mine safely.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Tao did not remind everyone of the dangers of the Hansheng Mine.

Not long after, the two left the Hansheng Mine.

Zhang Tao walked on the road as usual, and glanced behind him casually. Seeing that there was no one behind him, his expression changed and he yelled.

"run!"
