Start a mysterious island

"Let's continue walking inside!" Wang Dazhuang, the captain, looked at the surrounding environment and said to the three people around him.

Afterwards, the four-person team continued to set off, traveling along the pre-determined route.

"Brother Wang, it's been a while since we entered the abandoned mining area. How come we haven't encountered any strange beasts yet? Isn't it said that there are many strange beasts wandering around in this abandoned mining area?" Lin Li asked.

Within the scope of his mental perception, no creature emitting psychic energy fluctuations has been found. This is very different from what he knew before, so he is quite confused.

Wang Dazhuang walked at the front of the team, clearing the way for everyone.

Hearing Lin Li's inquiry, he slowed down slightly, turned his head to look at Lin Li, and said.

“I’ve been here several times before, and every time I entered the abandoned mining area, I would encounter wandering strange beasts.

Today is the first time I've encountered this situation, and I don't know what's going on. "

Seeing that the other party didn't know the reason, Lin Li nodded slightly and did not continue to ask about this issue.

Lin Li has always been cautious. Even though he now has the third-level initial cultivation level and has a foolproof means of escape, after listening to what Wang Dazhuang said, he became more vigilant in monitoring the surrounding situation.

Wu Xiaohe said in a relaxed tone at this time, "Although we have been here for so long, I don't know why we haven't encountered any strange beasts yet.

But don’t worry too much about this situation, because the exploration route we chose is very safe.

For more than ten years, many teams have explored this area along this route, without any major casualties. "

Lin Li said with a smile, "It turns out that the route we explored is so safe."

Ji Haoyang on the side interrupted, "We will not act recklessly, we must choose the safest route..."

After chatting for a while, Lin Li and the others walked a long distance further.

At this time, they came to an open place covered with gravel.

In the past, miners mined, and all the gravel they cleared was piled in this open space. Because of the gravel, the plants growing here were far less lush than other places.

In addition to gravel, there are several huge rocks several meters high standing in some places.

These huge rocks are not suitable for transportation. They were probably not carried here by absentees. They probably rolled down from the mountains not far away.

This can be inferred from some clues... The surface of the boulder is covered with a lot of soil, and the color of the soil is exactly the same as the color of the soil on the mountain not far away.

"We didn't have these huge rocks when we came here before." Wu Xiaohe came to a huge stone and raised his hand to pat the huge stone.

Wang Dazhuang speculated, "Maybe it was because of the heavy rain a while ago that the soil on the mountain loosened, causing these huge rocks to roll down the mountain."

Ji Haoyang stood in front of another boulder. He seemed to have discovered something. His eyes suddenly lit up, and then he shouted excitedly, "Brother Wang, Xiao He, come here quickly..."

Lin Li stood on guard while the three people were inspecting the boulder.

Hearing Ji Haoyang's excited cry, he also felt a little curious, but he didn't step forward to see what he found.

"Look what this is?" Ji Haoyang pointed at the shiny thing raised on the surface of the boulder and said to the two people who came to him.

Wu Xiaohe observed it carefully and guessed, "This thing seems to be a spiritual stone."

Wang Dazhuang raised his right hand and put a finger on the surface of what seemed to be a spiritual stone. As he inspected it, a smile appeared on his face.

Wu Xiaohe asked, "Brother Wang, is this really a spiritual stone?"

Wang Dazhuang nodded, "Yes, the thing Ji Haoyang discovered is a spiritual stone."

Wu Xiaohe said in surprise, "So, there is a spirit stone mine hidden inside the huge rock in front of you?"

Ji Haoyang said proudly, "Absolutely! Let's quickly break open this boulder and separate the spirit stone mine."

Afterwards, Wang Dazhuang and the others started to smash the boulder in front of them.

Lin Li, who was standing on guard, listened to the conversation between the three and looked at the boulder and thought in his heart.

"This boulder is not small. After breaking it open, a lot of spiritual stones should be released. I didn't expect this jealous guy to be so lucky. Now he is very proud..."

Wang Dazhuang said to the two people around him, "You guys stand back."

"Yes." Wu Xiaohe and Ji Haoyang nodded, then quickly took a few steps back.

Wang Dazhuang saw the two people pulling away from each other. At this time, he raised the pumpkin hammer in his hand.

Mobilize the spiritual energy in the Dantian and inject it into the spiritual weapon in your hand.

"Buzz."

Pale golden light emerged on the surface of the pumpkin hammer, and invisible energy fluctuations spread around.

"drink."

As Wang Dazhuang shouted, he waved his arm, and the golden melon hammer with a light golden light hit the boulder fiercely.

"boom."

There was a deafening collision sound, and a shallow pit appeared on the surface of the boulder that was hit hard by the pumpkin hammer.

Wu Xiaohe was very surprised when he saw that Wang Dazhuang did not smash the boulder when he hit it with a hammer, and said, "This boulder is so hard!"

Ji Haoyang reminded from the side, "Brother Wang, give him another hammer and he should be able to blow it up..."

In fact, there was no need for Ji Haoyang to remind Wang Dazhuang that he was going to do the same.

"Break it for me."

Wang Dazhuang raised his right hand again and violently swung the pumpkin hammer in his hand to hit the boulder.

This time the pumpkin hammer hit the same place as before.

"boom."

The boulder was hit again, and the shallow pit turned into a deep pit. At the same time, there were countless spider web-like cracks that quickly spread from the edge of the deep pit to the surrounding areas.

"Click, click, click..."

The sound of things breaking was heard, and the cracked boulder exploded after being hit by two hammers.

Stones were scattered all over the ground, and a faint cloud of smoke rose.

When Wu Xiaohe and Ji Haoyang saw the boulder being hammered, they immediately walked up.

"Look for how many pieces of spirit stone mine there are." Wang Dazhuang said.

Afterwards, the three people searched for the spirit stone mine among the broken stones on the ground.

Lin Li looked at the busy three people and mentally speculated that the spirit stone mine found should be equivalent to at least three to four hundred spirit stones.

However, the reality is very different from what Lin Li imagined.

"Isn't it? Why just this?" Ji Haoyang's depressed voice sounded.

Everyone thought that by breaking open the boulder, they could at least get a few washbasin-sized pieces of spiritual stone, but they found a palm-sized piece of spiritual stone.

Wu Xiaohe looked at Ji Haoyang, who looked disappointed, and comforted him, "Okay, don't be disappointed. You are lucky to find such a palm-sized spiritual stone mine."

Wang Dazhuang said with a smile, "What we came here to look for is not a spiritual stone mine. Now we accidentally found such a palm-sized spiritual stone mine. It can be said that it is a good start. It should be smooth sailing from now on..."

Ji Haoyang was originally very proud, but this result made him feel very disappointed.

However, with the comfort of his two companions, his mentality improved a bit.

At this time, Lin Li noticed a sudden abnormal movement in the distance, and quickly reminded the three people not far away, "There is movement ahead, please pay attention..."

When Wang Dazhuang and the other three heard this, their brows suddenly furrowed, then they clenched their weapons and came to Lin Li's side.

A group of four people looked at the swaying grass in the distance at the same time, waiting for unknown creatures to appear in the grass.

Half a minute later, a group of people walked out of the lush grass.

There are more than a dozen of these people, each of them is at least 1.8 meters tall, wearing uniform black clothes and holding various weapons in their hands.

When this group of strong men walked out of the grass, they immediately saw Lin Li and a group of four people in the distance.

The two parties looked at each other, but no one spoke.

The tense atmosphere at the scene reached its peak at this time, because if there was a conflict in such an inaccessible place, the government would not be able to provide justice to the deceased.

However, the party with the dominant number is obviously much less nervous than the party with the smaller number.

"Boss, look at that..." A strong man with metal earrings raised his right hand and pointed to a place behind Lin Li and the other four.

The bald man looked where his younger brother pointed, his bell-like eyes immediately narrowed, and then there was a malicious expression on his face.

As for the other strong men, their eyes were looking at the same place, and then they had similar expressions on their faces.

Lin Li laughed inwardly after seeing the malicious expressions on the faces of the bald men.

"Are these guys trying to rob? If that's the case..."

Compared with Lin Li's relaxed mood, Wang Dazhuang and the other three were in a very heavy mood.

Although none of the dozen strong men in front of them emitted psychic energy fluctuations, no one would believe that anyone who dared to come to this place was an ordinary person.

The opponent's numbers are superior, several times that of our own. If they fight, there is a high probability that they will not be their opponent.

"Brother Wang, these guys have bad intentions and may want to attack us." Ji Haoyang said with a solemn expression.

"Yeah." Wang Dazhuang nodded.

"What should we do?" Wu Xiaohe said nervously, and then she suggested, "How about we escape before they take action!"

When Wang Dazhuang saw the large number of people on the other side, he immediately had the idea of ​​​​leaving here immediately. Now after hearing Wu Xiaohe's suggestion, he wanted to say hello and turn around and run away.

However, the bald man opposite him reacted very quickly. Before Wang Dazhuang spoke, he winked at the boys beside him.

"Tap, step, step..."

There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and the younger brothers who got the hint quickly moved to both sides, surrounding Lin Li and the four of them.

"What do you mean?" Wang Dazhuang looked at the bald man with a solemn expression.

Wu Xiaohe and Ji Haoyang's hearts were beating rapidly and their faces were a little pale.

"Haha..." The bald man sneered.

Then he raised his right hand and pointed to a place not far away filled with rubble, where the boulder that had been blown up not long ago was located, and said to Wang Dazhuang, "There was a boulder there before. Was it blown up by you?"

When Wang Dazhuang heard this, a very bad guess immediately emerged in his mind.

Wu Xiaohe and Ji Haoyang, who were standing next to him, thought for a moment and then reacted, and then their hearts sank involuntarily.

"Our boss is asking you something! Answer quickly..." The strong man wearing metal earrings said menacingly.

"Huh..." Wang Dazhuang was a little angry when he was asked in such a bad attitude, but the situation was stronger than the person. In this situation, he could only answer whatever he asked.

"That boulder was indeed blown up by us..."

After hearing Wang Dazhuang's answer, the bald man had an expression on his face that showed that it was exactly what he thought. Then he said with a smile.

"We discovered that huge boulder first. We planned to blow it up when we returned and take out the spiritual stones hidden inside."

Wang Dazhuang and the other three looked at each other, and then Ji Haoyang took out the palm-sized spiritual stone mine he had obtained earlier from his pocket and handed it to Wang Dazhuang.

The actions of the two people caught the eye of the bald man, and he frowned.

“If we had known that you discovered the boulder first, we wouldn’t have done anything to it.

This piece of spirit stone mine was obtained by destroying the huge boulder..." Wang Dazhuang said as he stretched out his right hand holding the spirit stone mine and showed the palm-sized piece of spirit stone mine to the other party.

"Asshole, do you think we are fools?"

"That boulder contains spiritual stone mines, there must be more than that."

"Hurry up and hand over all the spirit stone mines, or I'll be rude to you."

The bald man did not speak and looked at the palm-sized spirit stone mine in Wang Dazhuang's hand in silence.

His younger brothers shouted loudly at Wang Dazhong with indignation, and some even rolled up their sleeves and prepared to take action.

Facing these menacing and powerful men, the hearts of Wang Dazhuang and the others sank to the bottom.

"There is really only such a small piece of spiritual stone mine. I didn't lie to you." Wang Dazhuang said with a calm tone and a sincere attitude.

As soon as he finished speaking, a more unpleasant sound of insults came.

"..." The faces of Wang Dazhuang and the other three became very ugly because the other party pointed at their noses and insulted them, but none of them spoke back.

"We are not children. Do you think we will believe what you just said?" the bald man sneered.

When Wang Dazhuang was about to speak and continue his defense, he suddenly remembered an indifferent voice beside him.

"Believe it or not, if you want to take action, do it quickly and stop talking so much nonsense..."

Everyone present looked at Lin Li who was speaking, with their eyes widened and expressions of surprise on their faces.

"The other party has a large number of people, so don't talk nonsense." Ji Haoyang said nervously.

Then he glanced at the group of strong men in front of him and found that their faces were livid and their eyes were flashing with fierce light, and he secretly said in his heart, "It's over now."

Wang Dazhuang said in a low voice, "I will contain them later, and you will break out with all your strength."

Ji Haoyang, who looked pale, felt that several people on the other side were beginning to emit the second-stage initial spiritual energy fluctuations, and said desperately.

"There are so many people on the opposite side, and several of them have the strength of the first stage of the second stage. How can we break through?"

"Hahaha..." The bald man laughed loudly, but the expression on his face was very cold, without a smile at all, and then he said to the younger brothers.

"Everyone, come on, beat them to death... By the way, let that woman live."
