Ascension

Chapter 156 Mine Law Enforcement
After some pleasantries, Chen Mai's eyes fell on Lord Ye Han.

"Brother Ren, who is this?"

"Oh, this is a good brother I got to know recently. It's so late to meet him."

"I heard that you are short of people here, so I specially called him here, thinking that he can contribute."

Let me have a loud voice, just speak normally, it's like other people shouting at the top of their lungs.

Chen Mai's eyes gradually lit up and he asked tentatively:
"May I ask where Xiongtai is from? What rank? What authority? What kind of spirit?"

"As a commoner from the Blue Frog Country, just call me White Crow."

Ye Hanjun crossed his fists and saluted simply:

"I only have the 1st rank, so I'm not as good as Brother Ren."

"Authority, E-class "Secret Attendant". "

"The contracted spirits are a bit special. I don't know which branch they are. They may be demons, barbarians, or others."

"But don't worry. Together with it, our combat effectiveness is acceptable, and we are confident to participate in this law enforcement mission."

"Secret Attendant?" Chen Mai was stunned. "What kind of authority is this? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Lord Ye Han smiled honestly, "You can understand him as a dark attribute magic apprentice, with some similarities in power."

"Oh--"

Chen Mai dragged out a long ending, with a light of thought in his eyes.

Obviously, what he needs more is the second level and Kasumi's embryo.

Only those with such a rank are qualified to deal with difficult problems.

Rank 1... This is the level of a small soldier.

Even if it reaches the upper reaches of the first level, it will only be a big-headed soldier if it is stretched to death, and it will not be of any help to higher-level battles.

"Since it was recommended by little brother Ren, I will naturally welcome him."

"However, the rewards for tasks can only be distributed according to regulations. I'm afraid they cannot be distributed to the same standard..."

"Those who can do the hard work, understand."

Ye Hanjun nodded, not caring.

Chen Mai breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became cheerful again:
"Then please ask Brother Ren and Brother Bai Ya to follow me to complete the formalities."

"If possible, we will start enforcing the law today, otherwise my brothers will really be overwhelmed."

"no problem."

Let me follow the burrowing frog to the hole where it just jumped out.

Chen Mai went down first and led the way.

Ren Wo Kuang and Lord Ye Han grasped the chains and descended, taking their time.

The surrounding light suddenly became warm.

Standing on the ground, the sun's rays are bright and holy.

When you first enter the mine, there are torches hanging on the caves everywhere, rows on the left and rows on the right, which are brightly illuminated.

"Brothers, I wonder if you have ever been involved in an environment like the mine before?"

"I have only hunted in relatively shallow caves and maze-like underground passages."

"As for the real mine, this is my first time."

Ren Wo answered wildly, and then glanced at Ye Hanjun:

"He should be about the same as me. If there is anything that needs attention, please let Brother Chen know in advance."

"Natural, natural."

Chen Mai was riding on the back of a burrowing frog. The burrowing frog did not jump forward, but climbed and moved very fast using a pair of webbed feet.

When the owner gives the order, it slows down to give the three of them enough time to communicate.

"In this mine, the main element gathered is fire, so the temperature is relatively high."

"Ninety percent of the ores that can be dug out are fire-attributed. There are thirty or forty types, with high and low quality."

Chen Mai threw two scrolls over. Ye Hanjun and Ren Wokuang each caught one and listened to him:

"Then, the main mines here are relatively large and can accommodate the passage of giant beasts."

"But nothing can be dug out of such passages. Adventurers are generally scattered in branch mines, digging randomly as if to try their luck."

"As law enforcers, what we have to do is patrol and prevent miners from using strong gunpowder, explosives, and blasting charms to arbitrarily destroy the main structure of the mine."

"Secondly, we need to suppress bloodshed. Whenever we encounter rare ores, it is particularly easy to cause violent conflicts."

"No, a pair of brothers came to dig a few days ago. Because they did not discuss the distribution ratio in advance, one died and the other was injured. Such a result is really touching..."

Chen Mai sighed for a while and reminded again:
"In addition to these man-made disasters, you must also be careful of wild spirits and natural traps in the mines."

"Someone dug and dug until they found a fire ant nest. They just let out a few screams and were drowned."

"There are poisonous miasma in some places, which are colorless and odorless. By the time we react, the liver has been severely damaged. It goes in vertically and goes out horizontally."

"By the way, there are also zombies. These spirits also live underground. Although in principle, the darker and colder the place, the more likely they are to lurk."

"But there have been mutated zombies with fire attributes here, breathing flames from their mouths and stepping on fire wheels. They are very evil. You must be vigilant..."

After some introduction, Ye Hanjun became more interested.

This zombie that breathes fire and rides on fire wheels may be a rare zombie called "Fire Boy".

If you can hunt such zombies and successfully obtain the opponent's corpse crystal, the muscle zombies may be in luck.

This is an extremely high-quality supplement. In addition to promoting the development of the body, it may also be able to slightly mutate it and acquire a certain fire element.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

Going deep into the mine and moving forward, a base of sudden enlightenment comes into view.

It was an underground room dug out. The space was not large, but there were law enforcement officers resting there.

There were three people in total, one was fast asleep and the other two were leaning against the wall and yawning. Neither of them were in particularly good condition.

"Bring out two sets of first-class equipment." Chen Mai ordered.

He lowered his voice so as not to wake up the sleeping person.

The other two people understood the situation and quietly took out two boxes from the side of the room and carefully placed them on the ground.

"Brother Bai, although I can't give you the highest remuneration, I will equip you with the best outfit for protecting your body and life."

Chen Mai smiled, and Ye Hanjun clasped his fists and thanked him sincerely.

When he opened the box, he saw a summons talisman, law enforcement uniform, ice moistening bracelet, electric shock rope, paralyzing poison needle, silk soft armor, quick-acting hemostatic pill, and powerful heart-protecting pill—a total of eight items.

Covered functions include communication, heat insulation, enemy control, defense, treatment... everything.

Of course, the most symbolic of them is definitely the law enforcement uniform.

Putting on these suits, Ye Hanjun and Ren Wokuang are officially the non-staff law enforcement team members hired by Blue Eel Town.

"Xiao Mao, Xiao Lu, take good care of me."

Chen Mai told Mao Maochong and Lu Douxia:

"These two will be enforcing the law in the third district from now on, ranging from a week to more than half a month."

"Say hello to the other brothers, don't let the flood flood the Dragon King Temple and cause any mischief."

"Boss, don't worry!"

"Yes, don't worry about what we do!"

Mao Maochong and Lu Douxia agreed with a smile.

"Cuck!"

The burrowing frog climbed away, and Chen Mai disappeared from sight.

"Hey, brothers, why don't you change your clothes now and go through the motions to get familiar with each other?"

Mao Maochong greeted him warmly, and Lu Douxia followed suit.

"Right on my mind."

Ren Wokuang directly put on a law enforcement uniform.

The fabric of ordinary clothes is too poor to fit his burly figure.

However, the materials of relatively high-end clothes have good ductility. After putting them on, they will appear a little thinner and more transparent at most, but the basic outline is still the same.

"Handsome!"

Mao Maochong gave a thumbs up, his eyes filled with envy of Ren Wo Kuang's figure.

It's so big that those who want to cause trouble will have to weigh it carefully.

When we really become active in the mine area, I wonder how much trouble can be reduced.

"call--"

Ye Hanjun is fully dressed.

This law enforcement uniform is the iconic blue color of the Blue Frog Country and has a cool texture.

Apparently taking into account the unbearable heat in the mine, the specially customized style was designed to prevent law enforcement officers from losing body fluids too quickly.

"Shh-"

Lu Douxia activated the contract mark.

His contracted spirit is a "miniature bird", and this type of spirit has an inseparable relationship with the "giant bird".

They had the same ancestor tens of thousands of years ago.

It just keeps growing and developing towards two extremes.

The giant bird is huge and has great vitality. It is not very good at flying or fighting.

The mini bird is different. Although it is a savage beast, its vitality is relatively mediocre.

Being good at flying makes it an agile attack pet, and it is often unexpected when launching sneak attacks.

Paired with Lu Douxia's F-class "scout" powers, it's a good match.

"Baabaa!"

Mao Mao Chong is an E-level "Magic Apprentice", and his affinity element is earth.

His contracted spirit is a "peat deer", a kind of monster spirit that is relatively bulky but can use magic.

"Let's go. Huo Bao's spirit is outside. There is no need to worry about his safety."

Mao Maochong chuckled, took the lead in sitting on the back of the peat deer, and walked leisurely towards a branch.

Lu Douxia nodded his head in agreement, glanced at the person on the bed, turned around, and led the way while chatting with Ren Wokuang and Ye Hanjun.

"What? You are actually a student of Canghai Pavilion?!"

After a while, Mao Maochong and Lu Douxia stopped and looked at Ren Wokuang in shock.

Although his figure is far beyond that of ordinary people, his extraordinary spirit can be seen at a glance.

But when I heard that Ren Wo Kuang was a student at a top university, I judged that his actual age was probably less than 20 years old.

The two of them were stunned and looked like they were severely shocked.

Ye Hanjun... was subconsciously ignored.

When he briefly mentioned that he was only in the first level and followed Ren Wo Kuang to Lan Eel Town.

Although Mao Maochong and Lu Douxia did not express contempt openly.

But the focus of subsequent conversations was all about Ren Wo Kuang and nothing about him at all.

"Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. It's amazing, it's amazing!"

"Little Brother Ren's future is something we need to look up to. It is our great honor in Lan'e Town to be able to work with such a young hero for a period of time!" Mao Maochong praised him repeatedly, with rainbow farts coming one after another.

Ren Wo Kuang doesn't like flattery and doesn't speak much anymore.

Most of his attention was distracted outside, carefully observing each branch of the mine tunnel to see if there was any potential danger that would touch his spirituality.

"boom!"

With a dull roar, Mao Maochong stopped talking and his expression changed slightly.

Lu Douxia frowned, waved his right hand, and the mini bird rushed out quickly, flying hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, another daredevil!"

"How dare you trigger five detonating talismans at the same time... It's your own fault!"

The scout has the active power "Visual Synchronization". Through the shared vision, Lu Douxia quickly knew the cause of the roar.

Someone violated the mining regulations and used excessive amounts of explosive props.

Because he failed to control the safe distance, he blew up a branch mine tunnel and buried himself in it.

"Damn, this kind of person is the most annoying!"

"If we don't save him, it seems that we are ungrateful. If we save him, we are like eating flies. It's annoying no matter what!"

Mao Mao Chong spat and urged the peat deer to run faster.

Let Wo Kuang and Ye Hanjun follow behind.

One can walk as fast as he can with his body.

One lowered his head, activated one-tenth of the Darkest Demonic Eye, and slightly escaped into the shadows to increase his movement speed.

"BAA Baa baa!"

Peat Deer activates the skill "Listen" to further locate the living creatures in the collapsed mine tunnel.

Then, he connected the skill "Mud Wave" to forcibly soften part of the rock and soil, rolling it to both sides like mud.

But it was obvious that the collapsed location was deep, and by the time the skill ended, the key location could not be dug.

"I'm here to help!"

Let me summon muscle zombies while I put on a pair of wear-resistant gloves and dig with my bare hands.

"Roar!"

Renwolang has no brains, but he is good at imitating his master.

Seeing Ren Wo Kuang digging there, it turned its fists into palms and dug hard.

Mao Maochong's mouth opened slightly.

His peat deer mastered earth-attribute spells, and being in an environment like the mine tunnel was beneficial to him.

But through brute force, Ren Wo Kuang was even faster than him using his skill to dig...?
"A fierce man..."

"No wonder you are already a student of the South Academy at such a young age. With such ability, who wouldn't dare to be in awe?"

Suppressing his exclamation, Mao Maochong subconsciously glanced at Bai Ya.

As expected, this person could only watch from the sidelines, unable to cope with an unexpected situation such as collapse.

"Cough...cough...cough!"

A few minutes later, a sluggish woman was pulled out. The clothes on her chest were charred and torn, and her exposed skin was as red as blood.

"This is not just a matter of excessive use of explosive props. Isn't this your first time using explosive props? You don't have much experience, right?"

Lu Douxia poured a bottle of cold cooling liquid on her body and asked with a dark face.

"Well...my contracted spirit..."

The unconscious woman was no longer capable of answering questions.

But she stretched out her hands to dig into the soil, with a trace of anxiety remaining in her brows.

"Eat the consequences!"

Mao Maochong snorted coldly, looked up at the peat deer, and asked it to continue digging.

No matter how crazy I was, I didn't stop. After digging for a long time, I was sweating, and finally I met a big man.

It was a perfect clay sculpture of a "bronze bull" with a hard body.

It was only slightly injured, but it was unable to escape because it was pinned down by tons of rocks and soil.

In the past, Mao Maochong and Lu Douxia would have had to waste more energy to get it out.

At this time, with the help of muscle zombies and Ren Wo Kuang, the pressure was greatly reduced. Chun Chun used brute force to directly take the cow out.

——It’s just barbaric.

"Moo..."

The copper bull turned over, staggered up, ran to its owner's side in small steps, and licked her cheek.

Probably sensing that the contracted spirit was out of danger, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and fainted with her head tilted.

"Okay, let's take this bitch outside the mine. There is a special shelter there to deal with such wounded people."

Mao Maochong shook his head, then snorted and said:
"Of course, she only received minimal medical assistance."

"Follow-up treatment needs to be paid for at your own expense."

“In addition, violating mining regulations and damaging the mine tunnel structure without authorization will require a large fine.”

"If she can't pay the fine, she won't be able to get away easily. If she stays and works, she will have to pay for it!"

"That's right!"

Lu Douxia first agreed, then praised Ren Wo Kuang's power.

I have seen ferocious beasts on weekdays, but this was the first time I saw such a ferocious man.

"where."

Ren Wu shook his head wildly and remained silent.

Seeing that he had no desire to chat, Lu Douxia and Mao Maochong also cooled down, escorted a cow and a girl back to the ground, and then turned back again.

"Ding ding dong!"

"Ding ding dong!"

After switching to another branch, the sweet percussion sound became clearer and clearer.

It was a three-person digging team with a clear division of labor.

Stoneclaw crabs dig, rock frogs move rocks, and earth pythons loosen soil.

The three family masters each carried a hammer and followed behind, banging.

There is a sack next to them, which contains more than a dozen fist-sized pieces of reddish-brown ore.

With such results, it is obvious that the mining efficiency is pretty good.

"Eh? Brother Mao! Brother Lu!"

One person put down his hammer, turned around, and offered him a roll of hookah rather attentively.

"bass!"

There is no need to light a hookah, as it contains a special kind of solid grass.

When broken with a little force, it can be transformed into liquid. When inhaled into the nasal cavity, it will naturally emit a sweet aroma.

"call--"

Mao Maochong blew out a mouthful of hookah and greeted Ren Wokuang and Ye Hanjun:

"Come on one?"

"Eh? There's a new member of the law enforcement team? Brother Mao, Brother Lu, you have to introduce us to this!"

Gibb smiled brightly and quickly handed over two rolls of hookah, one for each person.

Ye Hanjun stretched out his hand to take it, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it gently, then returned it to Jibu and said calmly:
"No thanks."

"I won't smoke either, just take it back."

I just stood there with my arms folded, not even intending to take it.

Gibb was stunned for a moment, then still smiling, nodded and bowed:

"Okay, okay, if the two eldest brothers need anything and we can help, we will spare no effort!"

"Hey, you guys are the easiest to worry about."

After Mao Maochong finished smoking the hookah, he stepped into the mud and said with a smile:
"These two are the new law enforcement brothers, let's call them Brother Ren and Brother Bai from now on."

"Have a good time digging, I won't disturb you anymore, I wish you good luck today."

"Brothers, please walk slowly!"

Gibb took a few steps to greet them and sent the four people away.

As the distance widens, Mao Maochong, Lu Douxia, and Ren Wokuang may no longer be able to hear the voices on the other side.

But Ye Hanjun moved his ears and could still hear the conversation between the three of them:
"Brother Bu, the two newcomers just now don't seem to appreciate our kindness. They won't come to stir up trouble in the future, right?"

"It's hard to say. Let's wait until they come next time and test it again."

"Hey, you have to pay a huge entrance fee to come in to mine. Be careful of being coveted by others when mining."

"Even the managers of the mines, we have to worry about whether they will put our shoes on."

"It's so frustrating to live this life..."

"Yes, yes, make a fortune and run away. You stay down here all day long. You can't eat well or sleep well. You feel so worried..."

If Ye Hanjun has some enlightenment.

It seems that the pressure in the mine is quite heavy.

Law enforcement officers are physically and mentally exhausted. Isn't that true of those who mine and dream of getting rich all at once?
"Boom!!"

"Ow - roar!!"

The cave wall on one side suddenly trembled, and the expressions of Mao Maochong and Lu Douxia, who had just turned sunny, immediately turned gloomy.

"Damn! Such a big movement! There must be a fight!"

"These people are so restless. What's wrong with digging out one or two pieces of rare ore? Do they have to fight to the death for it?!"

"Brother Ren! Brother Bai! Let's go quickly, let's suppress them!"

"Even the clay figures are quite angry if they don't take us seriously. We must teach them a lesson today!!"

"Tattoo!"

The peat deer begins to sprint.

Ren Wokuang and Ye Hanjun, one striding forward, the other with ghostly movements, are like opposites of one strong and one soft.

"No! It's not about fighting for rare ores!"

The mini bird arrived early, and with the help of the active power "Visual Synchronization", Lu Douxia's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Thugs appeared, forcibly injured people, took away other people's trophies... and were escaping!"

"They are very powerful. Be careful not to capsize in the ditch. They must be suppressed with thunder!"

"Go away!"

Just as he was talking, a thin bamboo pole wearing light armor appeared riding a "two-headed hyena".

He saw four figures in the mine tunnel on one side, and his eyes almost jumped out of their sockets.

"Mad, what kind of bullshit luck!"

"Brother, help! There are four law enforcers here! I can't defeat them!!"
