Chapter 53

On the Black Wood Mountain, in the middle of the mountain at this time, countless human heads surged.

"Hurry up, everyone is up and working. The mayor paid you so much wages, not for you to come and play in the mountains and rivers. Look at how much silver ore you have mined in the past few days. I Even letting a group of kids dig it is better than you!"

A sharp and harsh voice resounded around the mountainside. A skinny little man wearing an official cap was there, gesticulating and shouting at a group of resting miners.

"Let me tell you, if you don't complete the tasks assigned this month and cause me to be taught a lesson by the mayor, your salary this month will be halved. Did you hear me, halve it! Hurry up and work !"

"But my lord, we haven't eaten yet. It's already noon. How can we work if we don't eat?" A miner rubbed his stomach with a sad face.

"Yes, my lord, let's eat and work first."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm starving to death."

The short and thin steward saw these thugs talking more and more vigorously, and screamed, "Stop arguing, why are you arguing, the food delivery team hasn't come up yet, you guys do it first, what can you do if you miss a meal! Ah!"

The sharp tone immediately suppressed the complaints from the miners. They saw that the manager had said this, and they couldn't say anything. They had to sigh and go into the mine, and continued to work.

"Hmph, a bunch of lazy eaters." The steward said angrily.

At this moment, two meteors suddenly flashed across the sky in the distance, and they fell straight towards the Black Wood Mountain at an extremely fast speed.

With a bang, the entire Blackwood Mountain was shaken, and the steward sat down on the ground by the sudden shock, looking around in panic, "What's the matter, what's the matter, is it an earthquake?"

"Are you alright, sir?" Several guards quickly helped the steward who had fallen to the ground.

After a while, seeing that there was no vibration again, the steward breathed a sigh of relief, straightened the hat on his head, and patted the dirt on his body.

"What happened to the shock just now?" The steward asked the guards.

"My lord, I have sent someone to investigate the surrounding situation, but nothing was found. It may be that there was a rock falling from the top of the mountain nearby, causing the noise." The guard replied.

"Is it really a landslide?"

"Yes"

After confirming it again and again, the steward finally felt relieved, and he tried his best to get this fat job of mining supervision from the mayor. If he lost his life because of this job, it would not be worth the candle.

After all, it is in the wild, and it is one of the gathering places of monsters, Heimu Mountain. Even if there is no natural disaster, you still have to worry about the monsters that are staring at you everywhere.

"Hey, you guys have to follow me closely. If I have any troubles, you have to follow me to be buried!" The steward threatened the guards behind him.

"Yes" the guards responded hurriedly on the surface.

One of the guards murmured softly: "What's the big deal, isn't it just flattering? The mayor is really blind and reused this timid guy who is afraid of death."

"That's right, if you don't have a cultivation base and dare to run around on the Blackwood Mountain, don't die by then and drag us down." Another guard said equally displeased.

"Don't talk about it, he is now a popular person in front of the mayor. If he hears it, he will go to the mayor to add fuel and make a complaint, then we really can't bear it and walk away." A relatively young man The longer guard warned the two of them.

"Huh? What happened again?" the steward said impatiently to a supervisor who came running from the mine.

"Ah..." the supervisor wiped the cold sweat off his head and said, "It's not good. The miners in the mine were frightened by the shock just now. Now they are afraid that the mine will collapse and they will come out desperately, so they plan to go on strike."

"What! These bloody gangsters." The steward jumped up and down, "Take me to the mine!"

"Yes"

The steward walked into the mine angrily.

On the other side, on the top of the Blackwood Mountain, after the two meteors fell to the top of the Blackwood Mountain, it was discovered that these were not meteors at all, but the stream of light formed by two people just breaking through the sky.

One of them was wearing a black cloak, the cloak was so big that it completely covered his figure, so that he couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a woman, and he wore a black mask compatible with the cloak , but there is a purple orchid engraved on the right half of the mask, which looks a bit strange.

The other person facing the man in the cloak mask is an old man in a long robe. The old man has white beard and hair, and his face is covered with dry wrinkles. It looks like a piece of old bark stuck to his face. How many years have passed to be so old.

Suddenly, the old man's previously closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing a pair of pupils that are not human-like. These eyes, the pupils are upside down, showing a blue color, very similar to the eyes of a snake.

After opening his eyes, the old man who was originally a rotten wood, his whole temperament changed completely, and the unparalleled sharpness soared to the sky, and the clouds in the sky were directly shaken away, and a nameless gust of wind swept across the entire black wood mountain top.

"Thief, hand over what you stole, or you will die." The old man's cyan snake eyes stared firmly at the man in the black robe mask, and used his aura to clear the area where the man in black robe was standing. locking.

"." The black-robed man was unmoved, and did not intend to talk to the old man at all.

"Hmph, since you want to die, then I will help you." The snake-eyed old man didn't intend to talk nonsense anymore, he could see that the thief would not listen to his words.

The old man raised his hand hidden in his sleeve. This hand was as thin as his face, and he stretched out his index finger slowly, pointing at the man in black.

Only then did the black robe react. When the old man stretched out his index finger to point at him, he instinctively took a half step back, and then his masked head started to turn around, as if trying to find an escape route.

Soon, his masked face stopped in one direction and he folded his hands together. The orchid on the mask began to emit purple light strangely, enveloping his body all at once.

"Not good." When the old man saw the purple light, his face immediately changed drastically, and his original composure was instantly shattered.

"Go" let out a low voice, and saw a small blue snake flying out of the old man's outstretched index finger. The little snake became bigger and bigger against the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a phantom of a huge blue python several tens of feet away. .

The boa constrictor flew into the air, let out a roar that shook the sky, turned around meanderingly, opened its bloody mouth, and swooped down to the position of the man in black robe.

砰

The adventurers not far from the foot of Blackwood Mountain witnessed the great changes on Blackwood Mountain with their own eyes.

The peak of Heimu Mountain seemed to have been hit by a huge impact. It suddenly shattered into countless boulders and fell down. The whole mountain began to vibrate crazily, cracking countless gaps. Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded. , unable to say a word for a long time.

It wasn't until Heimu Mountain regained its calm that they swallowed hard.

"My God, am I dreaming? Who can tell me what happened?" An adventurer stared in horror.

"Is this about a volcanic eruption? Could it be that Blackwood Mountain has always been a volcano?" A whimsical adventurer expressed his conjecture, but was immediately slapped on the back of the head by his companion.

"You can use your brain, if this Black Wood Mountain is a volcano, then the investigation team in Garry City will be eating dry food, and there will be monsters living on it all year round. Their sense of survival is much stronger than yours. What do you think? Will the monsters use a volcano that can erupt at any time as a gathering place?"

After being sprayed all over the face, this whimsical adventurer stopped talking.

"In any case, this is a big event, hurry back and tell the people in the town." An adventurer said.
