The Path of Evolution

The mine that was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers became as bright as day because of a lighting crystal.

Zhao Hao admired his foresight and bought a batch of lighting crystals at Ping'an Inn before coming here. The effect was even better than a flashlight.

The conditions in this mine were more difficult and dangerous than he expected. The air was not circulating in some places, and even the most basic breathing was a problem. Along the way, Zhao Hao saw more than a dozen corpses.

He searched for a tunnel with smoother air circulation and finally found a place to stay.

Three days later, the special effect of the healing ring was triggered, and Zhao Hao's damaged meridians were completely healed.

Although he was still a little weak after recovering from a serious illness, he had recovered more than half of his combat effectiveness at the moment.

He took out dry food, ate and drank enough, and planned to do something serious: to find a nearby mine to inquire about the situation.

When he first came here, Zhao Hao met several miners on the way. Those people were particularly indifferent, and there was a sense of numbness that had been tortured to the point of hopelessness. At that time, Zhao Hao had too much time to care for himself and no intention to find anyone to inquire. Now that he has regained his combat effectiveness, it is time to take action.

Suddenly, there was a sound of humans kicking gravel in the mine.

Zhao Hao quickly put the lighting crystal into his bag, took out the ice and snow sword, and lurked in the darkness.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and there was fire in the distance.

I saw a middle-aged man who found it very Mediterranean and came over holding a torch. The torch was very luxurious. The top of the stick was grooved with iron sheet, with a flame crystal inlaid on it. With the help of the smokeless flame crystal, The burning has a lighting effect.

"Xiaoxia, did you see that light just now?" the bald middle-aged man asked.

"It's strange. I clearly saw something like a light nearby, but why did it disappear all of a sudden?" The Chinese young man named Xiao Xia next to him asked with confusion.

The Mediterranean man also looked suspicious and cautiously held up the torch to look forward.

He took a few steps, then suddenly screamed and took two steps back.

In front of the firelight, a young man stood in a looming position. The man was dressed as a rookie, wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. He was holding a black sheath sword in his hand, and he was smiling at the two of them.

"Who are you?"

The bald middle-aged man was shocked. He basically knew everyone in the No. 3 mine, but the miner in front of him was very unfamiliar.

"New here." Zhao Hao said casually.

"Great, we finally have another compatriot!" Xiao Xia was very excited. He noticed that Zhao Hao's expression was a little strange. He also realized the problem and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, it's actually quite a tragedy that you were captured as a miner. . I...I mean, the miners here are all in gangs, and some bastards always like to snatch the flame crystals that others have worked so hard to dig out. I hope you can join us, one more person will bring more strength. "

Zhao Hao was noncommittal and looked at the bald middle-aged man coldly.

The bald man stared straight at the black sheath sword in Zhao Hao's hand, and said with a smile: "Young man, show me your sword."

Zhao Hao also smiled and said back: "Why?"

"Just because I have 148 points of combat power, just because I am one of the eight rare evolvers in Mine No. 3!" The bald middle-aged man was extremely confident, with an aura like "My grandson once caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago" , the whole person is almost flying.

"148 points of combat power is so awesome?" Zhao Hao was shocked.

"Are you afraid?" The bald middle-aged man became more confident and coaxed: "You are a newbie who just came here. Your combat power is less than 50 points, right? I think this knife of yours is interesting, so I will give it to you." Me, if you hang out with me from now on, I will ensure that you have a meal every day."

Zhao Hao was shocked again. Has his pursuit of life been reduced to one meal a day?

"Xiao Xia, tell him about the situation in Mine No. 3." The bald man was so confident that he seemed to believe that everything Zhao Hao had was his.

"this……"

Xiao Xia didn't quite agree with the bald man's approach, but he didn't dare to go against it. He awkwardly gave Zhao Hao an apologetic smile and said, "It's like this. The flame crystals dug out by lone miners can easily be snatched away. For us, the flame crystal is equal to food. If it is taken away, we will starve. Many primitive evolutionists with less than 100 combat points work hard to make wedding dresses for others, and sometimes they cannot eat for four or five days. After one meal, many people starved to death.”

As she spoke, Xiaoxia's tone gradually became heavier: "There were originally 800 people in Mine No. 3, but now there are less than 200. Many miners plundered and fought with each other, and half of them died. Others were injured and couldn't get out, and some died of starvation. of."

Zhao Hao listened silently and once again realized the ugliness of human nature.

According to the ideal routine, these miners should stick together, shout the slogan "Work together, unite as one", and then fight their way out together.

But the reality is too embarrassing. The evolved miners have no courage to resist those heavily armed soldiers, but they are very good at pinching the weak. In the end, the general environment of Mine No. 3 is that the strong bullies the weak, and those who mine every day are low-level miners who have no ability to resist.

As for the relatively powerful and rare evolvers like the bald man, he has never dug mines with his own hands several times.

"Brother Li Chai is the nicest of the eight bosses in Mine No. 3. We have ten people in our team. We only need to give him 30% of the flame crystals dug out, and Brother Li Chai will protect everyone's safety." Xiaoxia went on to say, the implication of which was nothing more than telling Zhao Hao to follow the bald man quickly to avoid suffering any physical pain.

Before Zhao Hao could speak, the bald man named Li Cai suddenly became arrogant: "Others can do it if they give three or three percent, but you can't! Boy, don't glare at me, you don't even have the basic respect that a newcomer has for a senior!"

After severely scorning Zhao Hao, Li Chai continued: "Young man, don't be so arrogant, and don't be so irritable with your words. If you want to mess with me, hand over 60% of the flame crystals in the first month. When you get through a Month, then it will be appropriate to reduce your salary by 10% or 20% depending on your performance."

"Brother Li Guai, if you have something to say, don't do this!" Xiao Xia said with a look of dismay, "Boss, 60% is too much. He doesn't know how to mine when he first came here. He has to learn from the veterans in the first half month." How to dig it."

"Shut up! Xiao Xia, no wonder everyone calls you Xianyu Xia. Look at you, you are such a coward. It makes me heartbroken. I think you are very clever and I kept you here. Don't treat yourself like a green onion." , believe it or not, I will throw you into the pit immediately and make you a salted fish for the rest of your life!"

Li Chai disowned his relatives on the spot, and his face became ferocious: "Xianyuxia, listen to me, if he is not affected, I will be! If you jump out and point fingers in the future, I will deal with you too!"

Xiaoxia's face turned red and she dared not speak out in anger.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to scare the monkeys, Li Guai established his power in a small way, stared at Zhao Hao with a sure victory, and said domineeringly: "Boy, tell me something plain, 60%, do you agree or not?"

Zhao Hao smiled: "How about if you don't do this, you give me 60% every month and I take care of you?"

Li Guai was furious when he heard this: "You don't know how to be a noble boy, are you rich and powerful in China, and are you used to being spoiled by others? You think that everyone in the evolutionary world has to give you face? I'm not afraid to tell you that there used to be a person in the Valley of Flames. The mayor’s son was still beaten to a disability! With your attitude, let alone three episodes of a bloody drama, you won’t survive three days in Mine No. 3!”

Zhao Hao smoothed his hair slowly and said, "You don't have to worry about whether I can live for three days or not. One thing I'm sure of is that if you don't promise me, you won't live for three minutes."
