C268 Dignity of the man (1/2)
In the central area of the mine, this was the only place where the sun could be seen.
The blue sky, the pure white clouds. For the miners' slaves who were underground, it was also the only hope that the blue sky could hold.
The center of the mountain had been hollowed out, forming a wide field in the middle. At the extreme left of the site, there was a staircase that led to the outside world. However, no one dared to climb that staircase. As long as they walked out of that staircase, the soldiers would not hesitate to pierce their hearts with their spears.
Currently, three groups of people were gathered on the field. Two groups had around twenty people on their side, while the other group only had seven or eight people. The two groups of people surrounded the seven to eight people in the middle, like two wolves preparing to attack a little sheep.
”Hehe, hurry up and hand over the spirit crystal so as to avoid suffering a physical pain.” The one who spoke was a sturdy man with a scar on his face. In his hand was a broadsword. He was as fierce as an executioner on the execution ground.
”Hmph, Scar Face, what do you mean? That middle grade spirit crystal is mine. ” The man at the side shouted with a deep voice. This man did not look as strong as Scarface, but his expression was cold and he had a pair of triangular eyes. He was clearly a sinister and malicious person.
Scar Face raised his eyebrows and answered back, ”Fourth Gou, don't go too far. You come here so often just to snatch the Spirit Crystal, do you really think of yourself as the boss here? ”I'll tell you, this mid-grade spirit crystal belongs to me, Dao Ba. If anyone dares to take it, ask the blade in my hand if I agree.”
”Afraid of you?”
After saying that, when the two groups of people were about to fight for it, the expressions of the seven or eight people in the middle all changed. Once the two sides began to fight, they would be at a disadvantage.
”You two dogs, stop for laozi.”
At that moment, an angry voice rang out. The eyes of the besieged people immediately lit up. A short man quickly came out from the crowd and excitedly went to greet them.
”Boss, boss, you're finally here. Middle quality spirit crystal. ”
The person who came was Ding Lang and the rest who rushed over upon hearing the news, only to see the short man carefully opening his right palm, as though he was offering a treasure. Astonishingly, in his muddy hands, there was a white spirit crystal the size of a pigeon's egg. A light energy fluctuation was emitted from the crystal.
”Wow, this is really a medium-grade spirit crystal!” Ding Lang's eyes also lit up, and quickly caught the spirit crystal.
Scarface and Old Gou glared at him and walked up at the same time.
”Ding Lang, hand over the middle grade spirit crystal, or else I'll show you who's boss today.”
”Not bad, hand it over. Otherwise, none of you will get off scot-free today. ”
Ding Lang sneered, then turned his gaze to a young man by his side. ”Chief, let me introduce you. This knife-scarred face was the boss of the western mining area, and the Ghost Head Blade Na Ta was extremely powerful. It was said that he was captured after killing more than ten soldiers. As for this one! He was the eldest brother of the southern mining area, and his surname was Gou. He was ranked fourth at home, so his name was Gou Lao Si, a ruthless character. When I was captured, I killed quite a few soldiers. ”
When Ding Lang introduced the place, his tone carried a bit of ridicule.
However, the scarred face and Old Gou's ears felt extremely comfortable. What made even more people even more surprised was that Ding Lang actually called others ”heads”. Everyone's gaze turned to look at Han Chen, only to see that he was handsome, and Scar face immediately laughed out loud.
”I say, Ding Lang, what are you singing? What are you shouting at this brat who hasn't even grown all his hair? Head? Am I hearing things? ”Hahahaha.”
Fourth Elder Gou also revealed a look of disdain, as his pair of cold, gloomy eyes looked at Han Chen with interest, ”Heh, Ding Lang, don't play any tricks on me. Hand over the middle grade spirit crystal as soon as possible. ”
Ding Lang did not speak, and instead respectfully retreated behind Han Chen.
Everyone present were even more suspicious, could it be that Ding Lang had really decided to 'abdicate and give up the throne'. Han Chen raised his handsome eyebrows, and slowly walked forward, indifferently looking at the scarred face and Gou Lao Si.
”I never thought that I would see two mastery practitioners here. It truly surprises me.”
With Han Chen's eyesight, he was able to see through the strength of the two with a glance. Both Scar face and Old Gou were at the first level of mastery. And that Ding Lang actually also had the strength to half a step into the mastery.
Hearing Han Chen's words, the scarred face and Old Gou's expression immediately changed. The two of them looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. Because the two of them didn't detect a single fluctuation of energy within Han Chen's body. Because his martial spirit energy had been sealed, from the surface, Han Chen did not seem like a person who practiced martial arts at all.
”Kid, where are you from?” Old Gou Si asked in a deep voice.
”Just like you all, they were all captured by the Grand Seal Empire's army.” Han Chen replied indifferently.
”Humph, that's easy. Hand over the middle grade spirit crystal and I will do nothing else. ”
”We are all in the same boat, why did you do such a robbing?”
”Pfft!” Scar face spat on the ground, pointed at Han Chen and scolded, ”Brat, you must be the group of people who just arrived today! You don't even know what's going on here. You still don't understand how important spirit crystals are to us. Now you can say such words in a righteous manner. But I am sure that in less than half a month, you will be the same as us. ”
