Celestial Masters Alliance

I shivered with fright and whispered: "Is it a will-o'-the-wisp?" After all, there are so many corpses here.

Zhao Shuang shook his head slightly, and I poked him with the hand holding the clothes: "Put on your clothes first, then go and take a look and you will know!"

Huang Xiao had already put on his clothes. He picked up an iron rod from the ground to guard us. I quickly packed my backpack and started exploring next to them.

Oh my God! I suddenly felt that I was short of words and didn't know how to describe the scene in front of me.

This place seems to be a jade mine, with all the rock walls and domes showing a warm luster, white like suet, green like emerald, and multiple colors can appear on one stone at the same time, blue, purple, and yellow. The crystals within the stone sparkle, as if they can emit light on their own.

What surprised me even more was that the corpses scattered here showed no signs of decay. But looking at their clothes and the skeletons outside, they definitely belong to the same group. I suspect that if you give them some warmth, they will be resurrected.

We were like a group of country bumpkins who entered the Grand View Garden. Without caring about our safety, we started to scatter around to survey this incredible sight.

I caressed the ores, and the cold touch instantly spread throughout my body like an electric shock.

"So they traveled thousands of miles for this! But besides being used for decoration, what else can gems be used for? Are they going to a foreign land regardless of their lives just to dig for gems?" I simply can't understand what the value of gems is? It can neither be eaten nor worn, and it cannot be used to treat diseases.

Hearing what I said, Zhao Shuang and Huang Xiao were both stunned, "I can't understand that gems represent wealth, but the number of people who died here is roughly estimated to be two to three thousand, and the materials in the big pit look like They made such a big movement, but they all died here. No one knew about it, and no one came to find them. It's really strange!" Huang Xiao said while observing the corpses on the ground.

"What's even weirder is that they found the mine and started killing each other before they even mined it!" I said jokingly.

"It's also possible that the guards here killed them." Huang Xiao insisted on his opinion and rummaged among the corpses for available tools.

"Then the guards here are really powerful. They actually killed so many armed Japanese soldiers without harming any of their own people!"

"Are you stupid? How could you let your brother's body be exposed in your own land?"

Zhao Shuang seemed to pay more attention to the colorful stones, frowning and saying nothing.

"The output of this mine is really amazing. Just from the place we saw, at least a few tons of gems can be mined." I picked up a mung bean-like stone from the ground. It was obviously the leftover material smashed during mining. Adjust the flashlight to focus and shine it into the stone. The small stone actually contains countless crystal faces, which are very beautiful: "How much do you think a stone like this is worth?" My words floated in the air. man answered.

A strange thing happened. Under the illumination of the Wolf Eye flashlight, the small stones refracted countless dazzling blue lights. The blue light was in the shape of radiation and quickly penetrated the surroundings.

"Throw away the stone and run!" Zhao Shuang shouted.

Huang Xiao, who was closest to me, immediately knocked the stone off my hand and dragged me away. The impact of the explosion knocked us to the ground. The ground continued to shake, and stones flew from all directions. I subconsciously used His arms protected his head, and his body was hit mercilessly by rocks. The flying dust made it hard to breathe. Everything came so quickly and left unprepared. The loud noise caused sharp tinnitus and stung my temples. I held my head, opened my mouth, and slapped my ears with my palms. I got up from the ground. Everything was spinning in the dust in the sky. My legs became weak and paralyzed. He sat on the ground, as if this body no longer belonged to him.

After a while, a man suddenly pulled me up from the dust and shined a flashlight up and down on me, as if to check for injuries. I squinted my eyes and tried to focus. It was Zhao Shuang. He opened his mouth and yelled at me, but I could only hear my own tinnitus. I pointed to my ears and shook my head at him.

Zhao Shuang saw that nothing was wrong with me, so he quickly went to pull Huang Xiao who was lying on the ground. In the impact just now, Huang Xiao threw herself behind me and helped me block a lot of gravel. I took two steps and worked together with Zhao Shuang to pull him up. His legs swayed, and blood oozing from his forehead turned the dust on his face into a piece. He waved to us, and it seemed that he was fine for the time being.

We supported each other and found a flat place to sit on the ground. The rubble on the ground almost buried all the bodies.

I don’t know how long I rested, but my consciousness and hearing gradually recovered. Huang Xiao was leaning against the wall and huddled up in a ball with his eyes closed and shivering. My heart sank and I poked him with my elbow and asked, "Can you hear me?"

Huang Xiao slowly opened his eyes. Except for his eyes, his face was clean and his whole person was like a clay sculpture. "Yeah!" He agreed softly.

"Can you still hold on?" I raised the flashlight to shine on the wound on his head. The bleeding had stopped on its own, and it seemed that the injury was not serious.

"No problem, don't worry!" He twitched the corner of his mouth to show a smile, but it caused a violent cough. Fortunately, he didn't vomit blood, and it seemed that the internal injuries were not serious.

I turned to look at Zhao Shuang. Apart from a little extra dust on his body, there were no obvious injuries. He held a piece of ore in his hand and studied it carefully. He adjusted the light of the wolf-eye flashlight to diffuse and dimmest.

"These are not gems! What are they?" I asked, touching his leg lightly with my foot.

Zhao Shuang shook his head, then looked at me and said: "They do not use blasting to mine the ore. It can be seen from the tools that they mine all by hand. The biggest explosion occurred under the tree hole, which can be seen from the residue and scorch marks." , the explosion there was obviously caused by gunpowder products. So, they had already studied these stones before mining."

"Didn't there happen to be explosions during their survey?" I turned off the flashlight with lingering fear.

Zhao Shuang sighed: "What era did they come from? Their equipment can't be compared with today's. The flashlight in your hand can transmit light for five hundred meters under normal circumstances. It can be used for ignition. It may be a combination of previous instruments." The brightness wasn't enough, so it didn't cause an explosion."

"What are they doing with these stones?" I glanced at the corpse nearest me, and a thought suddenly flashed through my mind. This thought made me shudder, and I quickly shook my head.

"Did you find that the sudden drop in temperature was due to these ores?" Zhao Shuang threw the stone in his hand to me. I caught it carefully and kept it away from the light source. I regarded it as a dangerous item.

"That's right! It's like a cold storage compressor, converting air into cold air." After saying that, I shivered suddenly.

“If air conditioning is produced without consumption, it will be a new energy source that will shock the world!”

"It's even more wealth!"

Huang Xiao didn't join us during our conversation. I was a little worried about his condition: "Let's go! Let's explore further! You need medical treatment, maybe there is an exit in front. The light source won't last long, hurry up!" I said. Huang Xiao put his arm on my shoulder and turned off the wolf-eye flashlight in his hand. It was safer for us to use emergency lights.

Zhao Shuang also turned off the flashlight to save energy, put Huang Xiao's other arm on his shoulder, and we limped forward. I'm a little frustrated. If some monster appears now, we won't be able to resist.

The mine seemed to be endless, and the ground was covered with rubble that fell after the explosion, as well as corpses that had been moved and piled on both sides of the rock wall. Everything was hindering our progress.

We walked until the emergency lights were flashing and we were plunged into darkness. I was about to turn on the flashlight when Zhao Shuang said in a deep voice, "Have you seen the light?"
