Demon’s Diary - Chapter 384

Chapter 384: 384
“Oh, so you purposely ambush at the entrance of the cave to do these dirty deals of killing and robbing the newcomers?” Liu Ming said with an ambiguous smile . He deliberately fiddled with the bone blade that originally belonged to the skinny man .



“Please forgive me! I failed to recognize your mighty strength . If I knew you Sir is so strong, I would have avoided you . How would I dare to offend you . The main reason is that it is near the end of the month . I didn’t get much ores for this month, so after exchanging for the antidote, I have nothing left . Therefore, I waited near the cave entrance to try my luck and see if I can encounter any newcomers so that I can rob some spiritual weapon to exchange food . ” As skinny man heard those words, his heart was palpitating quickly as he waved his skinny arms to explain .
“Listening to what you said, it seems that there are not too many new miners here?” Liu Ming ignored the man’s begging and continued to ask .

“You are right . I also heard from the chats of several guards when I went to the surface to pay the ore . In the past few years, because Siren King’s forces are shrinking, the newly captured slave miners are much less than before . In the past, several slave miners would be thrown into the giant hole by the guards . Now there isn’t even one person for a month or two . “The skinny man breathed out and began to say again .

“In other words, most of the people who stay here now are old people who have been here a long time ago?” Liu Ming asked thoughtfully .

“It’s true . The environment here is harsh . Food and other resources are scarce, and there are frequent disputes between forces . Therefore, people who can survive in this place, except for some Physique Cultivator or those with a slightly higher cultivation, most of them has already lost their mind . As for those weaklings… they either rely on the forces in the mine or a powerful individual, otherwise they will be long dead . ” The skinny man replied honestly .

Until now, Liu Ming finally got a general understanding of the situation in the mine .
Although this skinny man was not so good-looking, he knew a lot about this place . It saved him a lot of time .

The skinny man saw Liu Ming standing on the spot while contemplating . He supported his body with one hand and slowly moved backward, then he carefully asked, “Sir, I really told everything I knew, then I …”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Ming glanced at the man faintly . Suddenly, a light flashed in his pupils .

The skinny man only felt a “buzz” in his brain . A powerful mental power suddenly surged into his rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness, making him scream abruptly . He immediately rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground . He no longer had other feeling for a while .


There was a faint smile on Liu Ming’s lips . He kept making gestures with one hand and hit it on the skinny man . A black ray flashed into the skinny man’s forehead . As his body trembled, he slowly sat up again .


Looking at the skinny man’s dull eyes, Liu Ming’s face showed a trace of satisfaction .

In the following time, in order to ensure that the other party did not hide anything from himself . By performing some simple enchanting techniques, Liu Ming asked the same question again .

After confirming that there were no false statements and no omissions, he leaned over and crushed the man’s throat with his right hand .
The skinny man fell to the ground . His eyes had returned to normal . His four limps kept twitching for a few times, but after showing a trace of unwillingness, the two eyes stagnated . He was completely dead .

Liu Ming raised his hand, smashed a big pit on the ground and kicked the body into the pit after taking all the things from the opponent’s body . He then waved his sleeve to cover the pit hurriedly . Looking at the two passages nearby, he walked toward one of the passages after a slight hesitation .

Knowing that it was so difficult to extract spiritual power here, he naturally wouldn’t waste his precious spiritual power to release a fireball to destroy the body .

……

Half an hour later, in the tunnel of the mine, in the remote place where Liu Ming was previously, the body of the skinny man was re-excavated . He was put on the ground covered with mud .
Under the faint light emitted by a few blue fluorite inlaid on the wall of the cave, the face twisted by the struggle before death was particularly strange .



“It turned out to be Second Brother Sha . Tze tze, if it weren’t for Brother Shi’s sensitive nose, I’m afraid we couldn’t find him . But the person who killed him was really straightforward . If his elder brother knows about this, he will get mad . ” After checking the corpse, he said as he felt strange .

“It’s not too far away from the exit . When we went to hand over the ore, we did find some traces of fighting near the entrance . Obviously, Second Brother Sha was mostly killed by a newcomer . ” A shorter figure next to him said .

“Hehe, this kid most likely wanted to blackmail the newcomer to get some benefits, but he never expected to be killed . He really goes for wool and comes home shorn . ” Another fat figure sneered as he said .

“Brother Gu, how do we deal with this matter? Seeing that the body is still soft, he should not be dead for long . With your tracing skills, there should be a chance to catch up with this person . This is a great opportunity to let the Madman Sha owe us a favor . ” The previous short figure asked the tall figure .

“Hmph, forget it . Although Second Brother Sha didn’t have high cultivation, he wasn’t weak . He had survived in this place for so long after all, so he wasn’t the normal survival . I think we should meddle into this matter to avoid getting us into trouble . ” After a little hesitation, the tall man shook his head .

Although the other person felt a pity listening to that, he still nodded .
So they no longer pursued this matter, and they walked past the body toward another passage .

Half a day later, the body was discovered by another group of slave miners passing nearby, and this matter was finally spread in the underground world .

……



At the moment, Liu Ming was walking alone in a dim mine . Not only did he have a bone blade around his waist, but his clothes and shirts became shabby and dirty .

He was now dressed like a slave miner who had stayed here for a long time, thinking that no one could easily see through his newcomer status .

In his hand, he held a light yellow map of animal skin . The content in the picture was very simple . It outlined a rough outline of the underground mine so that every time he walked to a branch, he needed to stop and carefully identify it .
While he was moving forward, Liu Ming glanced at both sides of the passageway and found that the rough gray-white stone wall was full of potholes, but there was no ore in it . It seemed like the ores here were excavated many years ago .

Liu Ming was not surprised at all, and he continued to move forward .

After all, this place was still near the exit . According to the skinny man, the ores had been excavated long ago . To find the ore, he must go deeper in the mineral vein to get something .

What made him frown secretly was that as he continued to move forward, with his strong spiritual power, he could even scout for a long distance, and his mental power would be exhausted in a shocking speed .

In this way, unless he reached a suspicious place, he naturally didn’t dare not release mental power easily .
After all, in this crisis-ridden underground world, perhaps he could save his life at a critical time if he preserved more strength .

He walked for about 15 minutes like this, but he saw that the light at the end of the passage not far ahead was flashing . He came to a fort junction again, and the stone wall near the junction was inlaid with several pieces of worthless green fluorite that exuded a touch of white light .

However, as soon as Liu Ming entered this junction, his face suddenly changed . His feet didn’t move, but his body suddenly slid to the side .

At this moment, a black iron rod smashed down on his head at an astonishing speed . It almost brushed Liu Ming’s body closely .
“Boom“, a loud noise echoed throughout the passageway, raising a cloud of dust . After the dust had cleared, a dozen meters deep pit appeared on the ground where Liu Ming had previously stood .

After Liu Ming’s body swayed, he appeared fifty to sixty meters away . He then stared coldly at a thin figure on the side of the pit .

“You actually dodge it! I didn’t expect that you are quite capable as a newcomer . ” The thin person, who had just appeared, saw this scene, and he said to himself unexpectedly . He lifted the giant iron rod that didn’t match his body size . He casually waved it and put it on his shoulder, then he looked up as he assessed Liu Ming with curiousity .

Liu Ming also clearly saw the other party . He was actually a young man wearing a gray cloth . He had a pale ill face and a skinny body . His facial features still looked good, but he had thick brows and big eyes . He seemed to be at a similar age to Liu Ming . He was assessing Liu Ming with a languid look .

“How do you know that I am a newcomer, don’t you know everyone here?” Liu Ming looked at the bone blade at his waist and the ragged clothes on his body, then he asked faintly .
“It is unlikely to know everyone, but I have lived here for so long . I have some impressions for most of the people I have seen . Moreover, although you have dressed up deliberately, everyone who has lived here for more than a year, which one of them doesn’t have a pale face and weak breath? How can they still maintain a strong spiritual breath . ” As the skinny young man heard the words, he sneered . He said calmly .

“It turned out that I’m being sloppy . I’m Liu Ming, I think you are also a human cultivator right . May I know your name . ” Liu Ming nodded . He didn’t seem to bother that he was just being assaulted, instead he smiled and asked .

“If you want to know my name, you have to at least live for a year . There will naturally be a lot of opportunities in the future . In addition, you can escape my blow, it means that you are qualified to survive here . Also, let me give you an advice, no matter how you get the map, you can only trust the front part . The later part which is in the deeper passage, it will add or disappear for a period of time . ” As soon as the figure sneered, it turned into a black shadow that disappeared into another passage .
