After half an hour of delay, Zhang Zhengyi had no excuse to stay, so he simply raised his hand to signal calmly.
Without further delay, the two of them set off and sped towards the eastern area.
Two figures skimmed the rocks at low altitude, riding on the wind and flying at extremely high speeds.
The majestic Divine Sense all around Zhou Qi is always spread out. As the figure continues to approach the eastern mining area, the scene Divine Sense is exploring becomes increasingly clear.
At first, in the main hall, he could only vaguely detect that the two men were wandering back and forth in a mine in the east, and were secretly causing trouble deep underground, but the specific movements were hazy and could not be seen clearly.
Halfway through the flight, the distance kept getting closer, and Divine Sense finally became more and more clear.
The two people in the cave were walking on the bottom floor of the mine, their hands flying, using complicated fingering techniques, constantly carving formation patterns, inlaying spiritual stones, and methodically arranging a secret formation.
Zhou Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he made a secret decision in his heart.
This formation is not a killing formation, nor is it a confinement formation, it is a blasting formation used to induce shock.
However, the collapse of the mine can only kill monk Golden Core Realm at most, and only injure Nascent Soul Cultivator at most.
I think the second killer move is the Zhang Zhengyi of Nascent Soul Third Layer next to me.
Zhou Qi remained calm and continued to move forward.
Just when one-third of the way to the east was left, the two figures deep underground suddenly stopped and then quickly ran out of the cave.
The formation layout is completed.
After exiting the cave, the two chose a direction and sped away quickly.
In the air, the Clear Origin Peak chief officer took out a jade pendant, pointed Spiritual Power his fingertips, the jade pendant shone slightly, and he spoke out a sentence.
The moment the voice fell, almost at the same moment, Zhou Qi caught a strange movement beside him with his peripheral vision.
Always pretending to be calm, Zhang Zhengyi followed closely beside him, his sleeves shook slightly, and an identical jade pendant quietly appeared in his palm.
The jade pendant shone brightly, and with the injection of Spiritual Power from Zhang Zhengyi, a voice came out. "Senior Brother Zhang, remember to invite all of you to a banquet tonight."
For a moment, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhang Zhengyi's old eyes.
Zhou Qi sneered in his heart, what a bullshit dinner, this must be the code word they set.
Zhang Zhengyi put away the jade pendant, entered the scene with an expression, and smiled gently at Zhou Qi: "Haha, the two junior brothers from the mine want to help you all."
Then Zhang Zhengyi changed the topic. "Let's finish exploring the mine as soon as possible, and don't delay the sect's business!"
After that, he deliberately increased his speed, swayed, and flew towards the deepest main mine.
The two of them entered the eastern area in an instant.
This area is covered with grass and rocks, and black rocks are exposed. Three giant mines are lined up in a row, quietly crawling among the dark mountains, each one extremely far apart.
Zhou Qi knew that the third deepest main mine was a dead end set by the opponent, but he was not in any hurry to enter it.
He pretended to be investigating seriously, walking slowly and leisurely on the rocky slopes outside the area, between the abandoned rock piles and the open space on the edge, his eyes scanning randomly, stopping from time to time to pretend to look at the traces on the ground.
He looked like he was conscientiously investigating the traces of bandits.
Zhang Zhengyi followed closely behind him, seemingly accompanying him and looking around to investigate, but in fact his mind was already in his throat.
The underground killing array has been formed, and the two colleagues are waiting in hibernation. All their calculations are just to trap Zhou Qi in the collapse of the third mine.
But right now, Zhou Qi is wandering around the outside to investigate, reluctant to step into the mine, completely refusing to follow their preset script.
Time passes little by little, and the longer the delay, the more variables there will be.
Zhang Zhengyi The anxiety in his heart became more and more intense, the kind smile on his face could hardly be maintained, and he kept scolding secretly in his heart.
After waiting for a while, he finally couldn't hold it any longer, so he pretended to step forward and urged, "Junior brother Zhou, the surrounding open space is full of barren mountains and rocks, there is nothing to check."
"The hidden dangers in the entire eastern area are all hidden in three mines. We should give priority to exploring the caves to avoid missing traces of bandits and delaying the sect's important tasks."
Zhou Qi heard this, as if he suddenly woke up, nodded slightly, and looked calm and easy-going. "What Senior Brother Zhang said is reasonable, but Junior Brother didn't think it through carefully."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swayed and flew straight towards the first nearest mine.
Zhang Zhengyi felt relieved and hurriedly followed. As long as Zhou Qi was willing to enter the mine, there would be room for redemption in all the arrangements.
The first mine is the smallest in scale, with a straight and shallow passage. The cave is dark and deep, and moist rock gas rushes towards the face.
The two entered the cave side by side and explored the depths along the long and narrow passage. The rock walls were smooth and clean, and the rock formations were stable. Apart from the old traces left by years of mining, there was no new movement or even a single figure.
Walking all the way to the end of the cave, it was still empty and nothing unusual.
"There is nothing unusual here." Zhou Qi said calmly, then turned around and turned back first, slowly retreating out of the mine with Zhang Zhengyi.
Along the way, Zhou Qi slowed down, silently falling half a body behind, and followed Zhang Zhengyi leisurely.
It seemed that he was relaxed and casual, but at this moment, in his lowered eyes, traces of murderous intent were quietly filling the air.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his heart fell into deep deliberation.
To kill or not to kill?
Killing him is extremely simple.
The Zhang Zhengyi in front of me is only the cultivation level of Nascent Soul Third Layer, while the purity of Spiritual Power is empty and the foundation is ordinary.
With his current strength, killing him is like killing a chicken, without even using a second sword.
But it is easy to kill someone, but it is a bit troublesome to deal with the aftermath.
These three mine bosses did not hesitate to kill more than 70 fellow miners and thousands of ordinary miners. They must be hiding a shocking secret!
If Zhang Zhengyi is killed now, it will only scare the other two people.
At that time, if the two of them break the pot and lose the clue, it will be a big deal.
This fortuitous opportunity, if he doesn't snatch it away, it will really make him sleepless!
In addition, there are Liu Ying and Heavenly Sword Peak disciples present outside.
Everyone saw with their own eyes that it was Zhang Zhengyi who volunteered and followed him to explore the eastern area.
If Zhang Zhengyi dies unexpectedly at this moment, no matter what the cause of death is, with Liu Ying's urine, there will definitely be a lot of moaning, which will only increase the trouble.
The weighing of pros and cons passed quickly through Zhou Qi's heart, and he made a decision in an instant.
After pondering for a moment, the turbulent murderous intent in his eyes slowly subsided and returned to calm and indifference.
No rush.
Today is just the first day in the mining area, and the chess game has just begun. There is no need to rush and mess up the position.
Be patient for the time being, wait and see what happens, take the long term and catch the big fish.
Find a perfect opportunity to kill Liu Ying too!
After settling their thoughts, the two of them stepped out of the mine and returned to the mountain flat.
