Chapter 479 Death Crystal
The miners in the gold mine started working as usual. The soldiers and sergeants in the camp supervised them and watched them transport baskets of things out of the mine. It's just that the bamboo basket at this time is no longer filled with ore containing gold ore, but piles of dead people's bones.
Deep in the mine, some brave soldiers are still patrolling here. It is not that they are brave, but that if they do not come down, they will be executed for disobeying military orders. What's more, their highest officer here, Warlord Shank, has personally come down here, to the deepest place, to the side of these bone mountains and seas of bones, but he is still living well in his little palace made of gold. Here, enjoying Wenxiang nephrite and those wonderful foods.
However, just because Warlord Shank is not dead does not mean that death will not continue here. People are still dying here every day, and the circumstances of their deaths are still so bizarre, so disgusting and terrifying.
A few soldiers gathered together, one of them was smoking a cigarette, watching the bones being dug away one by one, and said: "It's really scary. With so many bones, there must be many evil spirits here. Wandering.”
"Hey, hey, stop talking." The other two soldiers were trembling with fear and kept praying.
The smoking soldier blew out a smoke ring and mocked: "Prayers are useless. If God could really help you, there wouldn't be so many people dying in accidents in this world. Look at yesterday The fat man who was still having dinner with us in the evening prayed for half the night, but he was still dead this morning."
"The captain can't say anything to comfort us. Words?"
"Comfort?" The soldier said with a disdainful smile, "Comfort is only for the weak. I, Nilu Wei, do not need comfort, and I will not comfort others."
The squad leader named Nilu Wei said to another soldier: "Brother, what, are you already trembling with fear? Are you worried that death will fall on you at any time?"
Although this shorter soldier was really scared, he was still a soldier after all. When his superior said this, he immediately raised his chest and said bravely: "Who... who said that it is too cold here and I am afraid of the cold."
"Really?" Nilu Wei smiled, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to him: "Smoke a cigarette, it won't be so cold after one puff. "
At this time, the soldiers in the tunnel next to him hurriedly ran over: "Captain, captain!"
Nilu Wei immediately changed his leisurely expression: "In a panic. What's the matter?"
"Looking for...looking for..." the soldier breathed well: "Found it, found it"
"What did you find? Please tell me clearly." the short soldier asked.
The soldier said: "Captain, we found it, we found the cause of death."
"What did you say!" Nilu Wei and everyone were shocked.
The soldier said: "When the miners were digging along the bone wall just now, they dug out strange ores. Those stones would glow. At first we thought they were gems. When we were about to pick them up, we found that they were The miner of the stone died suddenly, just like everyone else died."
"How do you know it was the stone that caused it? Maybe it was just a coincidence."
The soldier said: "Several miners have died. They are all people who want to dig those ores."
"Oh! Let's go and have a look." Nilu Wei took the lead and asked the soldier Jurisdictional mine past.
A lot of people had gathered around where the strange stone was found. The miners stopped working, and the Groms were scared to hide aside. The soldiers looked into the depths of the cave, but there was no one there. People dare to go in.
"The captain is coming, the captain is coming." In the shouts, the soldiers and miners made way for one another.
"Is it really that scary?" Nilu Wei looked into the depths of the cave and saw a faint blue light coming from a side hole in the left wall of the mine. The body of a soldier was lying upside down.
"Seven people died, and three more died just when you left. Two of them were our brothers."
Niru Wei frowned: "Get out of the way, let me Go over."
"Captain, don't, you will die," the soldier said in horror.
"Really? Huh, I have experienced hundreds of battles. How can a stone kill me?" Nilu Wei pushed the soldier in front of him away and walked into the cave: " After so many of our brothers have died, I want to see what it is before making a monster, no matter what it is!"
Directly opposite the main cave is the bone wall, and next to the bone wall is the side cave. Originally, they I want to dig along the bone wall to see how long and big the bone wall is.
Nilu Wei walked to the side cave entrance and looked in along the corpses of the soldiers at his feet. Sure enough, seven corpses lay on the ground. Looking further in, he saw the glowing fatal corpse that the soldiers said. Ore, a kind of ice crystal like light blue crystal, is embedded in the rock formations of the cave wall. It is impossible to say that Nilu Wei is not afraid at all. The fact is before his eyes. With so many people dead, he will be somewhat afraid. But what's more in his heart is anger. A single stone can make the entire mining area restless, and he will get angry just thinking about it.
Going around the corpses on the ground and coming to the ores, Nilu Wei stretched out his hand and pulled off a piece: "Is this it?" He stared at the ore in his hand. After looking at the ore for a long time, nothing happened and he was still alive and well.
"It seems like nothing." He pulled out two more pieces and held them in his hands. At this time, he found that these luminous crystal blocks were perfect, or very clean, which was very wrong. Because when ordinary ores are dug out from rock formations, there is always something else attached to them, but this is not the case with these crystal blocks. They have no other impurities at all.
Nilu Wei looked into the small holes where these crystal blocks were pulled out. There were no traces of such crystal blocks in these small holes. He thought for a while and thought to himself: "Is this not ore, but like those bones, deliberately buried here?"
Thinking of this, Nilu Wei tore off the clothes of a miner on the ground, wrapped the crystal block, and left the side cave.
The soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the captain had returned safely: "Captain, what is that in your hand?"
"The ore you are talking about."
"What!" Everyone was so frightened that they quickly ran away.
Nilu Wei glanced at them and said: "What are you afraid of? Am I fine? I have taken out the ore in the cave. You continue to work. I will report this matter to the governor. ”
"It's the captain."
Watching Nilu Wei leave, the soldiers all showed admiration in their eyes.
Arrived at the governor's golden palace, Shan Ke dismissed his concubine and asked: "Nilu Wei, what's the matter? I know you won't come to my palace without something important. "Come here."
"Warlord." Nilu Wei said: "There is indeed something important. This was discovered in the mine, and it may be related to the recent series of deaths."
"What is it?" Shank got out of bed and walked over.
Niru Wei opened his clothes and said, "Look, these are the crystal blocks." He told Shank the general process of the matter.
“Is it ore?” Shank picked up a piece and looked at it.
"I don't think so." Nilu Wei said: "This seems to be buried underground artificially. I think there may be more along the bone wall."
Shanke Point He nodded, threw down the crystal block and said: "Why do you do such a dangerous thing yourself? I have followed you a long time ago. You said that you are the person I trust most. You don’t have to go into the mine anymore. I will be very sad if something happens.”
Niru Wei said: “I am also a soldier under your command. All the team leaders have gone down, but I won’t go down. This is not good.”
Shank said: "With your ability, you are far more than just a squad leader. You are more than enough to be my deputy like Brocken and Saxon."
"I know that the governor has always been very good at running the army. Yan, if you want to be promoted, you must rely on your performance and merit, no one is exception."
Shan Ke sighed: "I have wronged you."
Nilu Wei said. You are kind to me, let alone let me be a squad leader, even if you are an ordinary soldier, I have no complaints."
Shanke smiled: "I helped you back then. You have been following me loyally, and I feel relieved to have you by my side. However, you should not go into the mine again until the danger is over. I will handle this matter myself."
"What are you going to do?"
Shank said: "Of course we have to find out what these are first. When Brocken came back, I heard him say that the king also invited geological experts from neighboring countries to test the map. Regarding the situation of Bute Volcano, I want to invite them here. They will definitely be able to figure out what this is.”
