Beiyin Great Sage

Maybe it was because it was quiet and no one disturbed me, maybe it was because I had accumulated enough for it to explode. After practicing in the mine for a day, the cloak and ax technique actually gained two experience points.

The distance is getting closer and closer.

"gone!"

"It's time to go back!"

"..."

Exhausted miners walked past one after another. Their eyes were dull and their bodies were stooped, like walking corpses.

Even though he knew the 'deputy director' was around, he couldn't say hello.

On the other hand, Hei San had gone somewhere, but he was full of energy at this time, and from time to time he called on the miners behind him to follow him.

As for the secret passage...

Of course there are no clues.

After leaving the mine, a group of miners began to deliver the mined ore, while Zhou Jia and the two headed towards the outside.

"stop!"

After taking just two steps, he was stopped by a cold voice:

"How did you find the secret passage?"

"No clues." Zhou Jia shook his head, looked at Samuel who was walking towards him, and said expressionlessly:

"Cao Honglai was able to hide it from so many people and was not discovered for several years. The secret passage must be very secret. How could it be found easily?"

"Really?" Samuel pouted:

"It seems that you are not a lucky star."

"I disappoint my supervisor." Zhou Jia lowered his eyes:

"I am indeed not a lucky star."

With that said, he turned around and left.

I don't know if this woman is born out of nature or has an ulterior motive. She is full of malice toward him and can ignore him.

"stop!"

Samuel frowned:

"Did I let you go?"

"Yeah." Zhou Jia paused and turned around with a stiff face:

"Do you have any other instructions from the supervisor?"

"Search!" Samuel snorted coldly:

"Do you need to search anyone who has not come out of the mine? If someone has hidden mines on their body, how should I explain it to the leader?"

"Self-search?" Zhou Jia's face turned cold.

In order to prevent miners from hiding things secretly, the body search here is not a simple inspection, but a very detailed search.

Especially when Cao Honglai happened, the search was even stricter.

Not only the lining of clothes, but also the mouth, dry passages... all need to be inspected one by one, and in public.

For miners, this is just a common occurrence and uncomfortable at best, but he is the deputy director of the mine, and such a search is tantamount to naked humiliation.

"Do you really want to search me?" An unknown fire arose in his heart. Zhou Jia couldn't help breathing heavily, clenching his teeth and looking directly at the other person.

"Of course." Samuel sneered:

"Why, Deputy Director Zhou feels guilty and is unwilling?"

"good!"

"good!"

Zhou Jia's anger surged, he nodded heavily, and then strode towards Samuel, his muscles tensed up, and the violence hidden in his body was ready to move:

"Excuse me, sir, please do a search on Zhou's body to see if there is any hidden ore!"

The clay figurine is still angry!

Sixth grade!

It’s not like I haven’t killed him before!

Facing Zhou Jia who was walking towards him, Samuel frowned. For some reason, he felt a warning sign in his heart and subconsciously held down the hilt of the sword at his waist.

It's even a step backward.

The next moment, she came back to her senses, anger filling her eyes.

Are you actually afraid?

Afraid of this loser!

Murderous thoughts emerged in my heart.

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Seeing that something was wrong, a guard quickly interrupted:

"Deputy Director Zhou, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to go through the motions to avoid being criticized by outsiders for breaking the rules. I'll just come."

As he spoke, he reached out and casually scanned Zhou Jia twice:

"Okay, no problem!"

"head."

Turning around, he looked at Samuel and winked secretly:

"We have just arrived, and we still need to rely a lot on Deputy Director Zhou, don't you think?"

The word "just arrived" was bitten hard by him, implying that if the other party caused trouble when he first arrived, he would probably be in more trouble in the future.

"..." Samuel's eyes flashed, and he paused before snorting:

"If you haven't found the passage, then keep looking. Deputy Director Zhou doesn't have to do anything else. Just go down and look for the secret passage every day."

"good."

Zhou Jia looked at her deeply, turned and left.

…………

In the next few days, Zhou Jia went to work normally, but miraculously, the supervisor who was dedicated and responsible yesterday was often absent.

It is said that there is a gathering of young men and young ladies in the inner city and I have to go.

As for normal things in the mine, I leave them all to my own hands.

This manager is really weird!

Without Samuel, Zhou Jia felt much more at ease, and he didn't ask for trouble. He went into the mine honestly every day, and then found a hidden corner to practice silently.

With the precious medicine taken and refined, the cultivation level increases at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As for martial arts, without the guidance of a famous teacher, the progress is slow.

The days passed.

In addition to attending gatherings in the inner city and hanging around the elders and leaders, Samuel rarely returned to the mine.

And changes are also quietly appearing in Huojiabao.

"clatter……"

On the way back, Zhou Jia paused.

Two mutilated corpses fell on the side of the road. The corpses had broken heads and disheveled clothes. Some carrion flies were buzzing around them.

It’s getting messy!

Recently, many people have entered Huojiabao. Most of them fled from the barony, and there are many experts among them.

The influx of so many people made the already uneasy outer city even more chaotic.

Although this road is not a main road, it is still a well-traveled avenue. Now, some people dare to take action. There are still corpses left behind, and the patrol team does not deal with them.

It’s not that we don’t deal with it.

I'm afraid I can't handle it!

Tightening the ax and shield in his hand, Zhou Jia quickened his pace and walked towards the tree house.

Neighbor Angie is at home today for the rare occasion.

He stood in front of the door of the tree house, with a flying eagle on his shoulder and three prostrate foxes with two tails beside him. He was looking around with a wary look on his face.

"Zhou Jia!"

Seeing Zhou Jia, Angji's expression relaxed:

"You're back."

"Yes." Zhou Jia nodded and glanced at the two foxes. He could clearly see that they were eating an unknown corpse.

It has arms and legs, so it should be a human being.

"Why is Brother Angji free to come back today?"

"No more money." Angji sighed with his head down, his face full of reluctance:

"If I had known, I should have stopped in time. At that time, I won more than 200 Origin Stones, which is enough for Xiaohong and the others to eat and drink for several years."

Stop in time?

Zhou Jia shook his head secretly. He had never heard of any gambler who could stop in time.

"By the way, you should have seen the people coming from the barony, right?" Angji said:

"It's been getting more and more chaotic recently. Some people even wanted to rob my tree house. If I hadn't been careful, I would have been homeless."

"Yes." Zhou Jia nodded and asked curiously:

"Brother Onji, are there many people in the barony?"

"More." Angji scratched his messy yellow hair and said:

"It's much bigger than Huojiabao there, and there are more people there. Unfortunately, the terrain is too flat, so it's not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as here, and it's often attacked by monsters."

Zhou Jia's heart sank:

"Brother Angi, how many people will come?"

"It must be a lot." Angji shrugged:

"I found out that the baron territory has been completely destroyed by those super monsters. The baron was also killed on the spot. Everyone is migrating. This has just begun. More people will come next. Brother Zhou will go out later. Better be careful."

"Yes." Zhou Jia nodded silently.

Returning to the tree house, he couldn't help but feel a little heavier when thinking about the future.

Fortunately, it's not all bad news.

A few days later.

A letter came from Stuart Lei.
