No wonder, almost no one goes to this back mountain, and even the road into the mountain is completely sealed. Is this back mountain the place where the gods live as they say?

So they don't dare to go?

I decided that the more mysterious the place, the more I wanted to go.

I decided to check it out in the middle of the night. At that time, everyone went to the bonfire party.

midnight.

The bonfire in front of me is getting more and more powerful. According to the regulations, because I am not a member of the tribe, I am absolutely not qualified to participate in their bonfire. So I was left in the entire closed room. This was also my freest time because no one was following me.

I took the torch and carefully left the village.

The back mountain is a difficult road to walk and is also the steepest place. Obviously, a strong intuition told me that the back mountain already holds earth-shattering secrets.

I could pretty much just walk through the jungle and walk through it.

Although it looks steep, once you walk inside, it appears to be slightly flat.

But I have to be careful at all times, because this torch may ignite the dense forest.

"roar!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of wild beasts coming from behind.

I held the only wooden stick tightly. I must have encountered some ferocious beast. At this time, I looked around cautiously, and there were sounds of wild beasts walking everywhere on the ground.

Looks like I'm being targeted.

I have to step up my game.

"roar!"

The beast's voice became louder and brighter, and as the fire lit up, I seemed to see a pair of terrifying eyes, glowing with a faint green light.

I almost ran forward as fast as I could.

Perhaps they were afraid of the torch in my hand, but those beasts just followed me quickly without taking any action.

"Help!"

I almost shouted.

The torch in his hand gradually went out.

It’s over!

I immediately regretted it. If the torch went out, I would have almost no hope of living. Those beasts would pounce directly on me and treat me as food.

Suddenly, my torch went out.

"roar!"

There was a roar, as if it was coming over.

When I panicked, my whole body seemed to fall to the ground. In an instant, because I was afraid that my feet would be empty, it seemed like a trap, and my whole body fell, and my body kept rolling down. I felt like the world was spinning, and my body seemed to be controlled by something. My whole body ached. At that moment, I couldn't even imagine the consequences that would follow.

Although his mind was clear, his body was about to fall apart.

"Ouch!"

However, when I stopped, I discovered that there were several bright torches in front of me, and there was no beast rushing behind me.

It turned out that I rolled down directly from the mountain to the back mountain. There were fires and bright lights everywhere. And at this time, because I made a lot of noise when I fell down, I attracted the attention of some people.

"Who?"

There were unfamiliar faces in front of me.

"you……"

I couldn't breathe for half the day.

"Why are there people? Are they from the tribe?" the crowd whispered.

"You are..."

Only then did I see clearly that the back mountain was not as mysterious as I imagined. It was a place where ores were mined. Everyone was absent from work. They almost rested during the day and started working at night. There was a valley in the back mountain. Aqueduct.

There is a neat row of houses surrounding the canal, which should be temporary residences for absentees.

Mines were opened on all sides, and a huge deep pit appeared in front of me, about five or six meters underground, and people continued to dig underneath.

Later, I learned that these workers were arranged here and have been here almost all year round, for several years.

"Brother, why are you here?"

One of the absentees asked me four questions.

"We hardly see outsiders here all year round."

Zhaosi seems to be in charge of the workers here.

"Have you seen anyone else besides me?"

I asked them.

Everyone shook their heads.

Except for Zhaosi, everyone else has gone to work. He said that he hasn't seen anyone outside for many years.

At the end of every year, a leader would come down to pick up the goods. At this time, he would get his salary for a year. He said he didn’t know what kind of mineral it was, but he was just responsible for mining it.

"What, you don't know?"

I asked.

But when I saw the minerals in the large and small groups, I didn’t know what they were.

From the discarded dregs, it was completely impossible to tell what these people were mining.

"That's..."

When I saw the finished products, I was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, I would recognize ordinary colored gemstones, but I couldn't name these things anyway.

The stone is crystal clear, like transparent water crystals.

And when I hold it in my hand, it feels warm.

"We haven't met before either."

After Zhaosi finished speaking, he stared at the mountain with a look of shock. I saw that his whole face looked a little surprised, even fearful. He stared straight at me and said word by word, "You are... coming down from the mountain. of?"
