Chapter 142 The Mine Thief
It's just that there are mines everywhere in Texas, but most of these minerals are just ordinary minerals. Even if a few more hills are mined, the Thunder Empire Commerce Department will not care too much.Really valuable minerals have long been in the hands of the Ministry of Commerce.

"The shitty neighbors are thieves. I bought the hill where they camped." Ren Feng said angrily.There are naturally thieves in Texas, and the number of mine thieves who secretly mine is the largest. I didn't expect to meet them too.

If it was just an ordinary mine, Ren Feng would not care at all. The mountain he bought had a small amount of iron ore, and it was far from the official road. No one would care about such iron ore at all.But here, he found monthly gold.

The eyes of miners are poisonous. Living in a place like Texas, it is absolutely impossible for iron ore to attract the eyes of miners. Let alone such a remote place, even if it is an iron mine next to a government road, they may not be willing to mine it. .Apparently, someone found Yuejin here.

Hearing that they were thieves, Ren Daoyuan frowned: "Ren Feng, how strong are the mine thieves in Texas?"

"It's not strong. If they have the strength, who would want to be a mine thief? The reputation of mine thieves is not very good. Mining rats are talking about them. They are good at mining minerals." Ren Feng said disdainfully.

Speaking of which, there are strong people in all Kyushu continents, and there are great differences between regions. The Qianzhou in the middle land has the fewest thieves. Regardless of the largest area, Qianzhou is also the most populous state. There is almost no wasteland. No matter where, They are all inhabited, which greatly reduces the living space for thieves.

Bahuang Qingzhou, Guangde Yunzhou, and Baidumanzhou are known as the three states with the worst geographical conditions. The conditions are not good, the land is sparsely populated, and there are many thieves. The thieves in these three states are also the most fierce. He even dared to fight against the regular army.

Houtu Zongzhou and Xueling Mizhou have cold weather, less summer and longer winter. There are not many thieves here, but they are also extremely strong.

The remaining states, located in the south, have excellent natural conditions and are known as starving.Some lazy people don't want to work, as long as they go to the forest to pick some fruits every day, they won't starve to death.Therefore, there are not many thieves in these three states.

After counting all the thieves in the mainland of Kyushu, the mine thieves in Ruicheng Dezhou are the worst.He is a real thief, not a thief, let alone a bandit.

"Be careful, Mr. Lian Chi sneaked over to have a look, let's rest here for a while." Ren Daoyuan thought for a while and said, there is no big mistake in being careful when going out.The size of that camp is not small, at least hundreds of people can be stationed there.

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Lian Chi responded, his figure flickered, and after a few ups and downs, he was no longer visible.

The remaining four people found a boulder leeward, opened their bags, took out food and water to replenish their strength, and waited for Lianchi.

Lian Chi didn't come back until it was dark, which surprised everyone.The miner's camp is not far from here, separated by a few hills, and at the speed of Lianchi, I originally thought that only one hour would be enough.

"Mr. Lian, how's the situation?" Ren Daoyuan stood up and asked.

Lian Chi's face was a little gloomy: "There are not many thieves in the camp. I sneaked in and found that there was a cave in the middle of the camp. Most of the thieves were in the cave. There is another world in the cave. The underground area is very large. It seems that the whole The mountains are all empty. I have no way to find out the number of thieves, judging from the size of the camp, there are about 300 people, and the highest cultivation bases are three low-rank warriors of the heavenly rank, and no star-rank strongmen have been found."

Ren Daoyuan heaved a sigh of relief, as long as there is no star master, it will be easy. I have two star ranks on my side, but they are both low-rank. If you meet a middle-rank star rank, these two are not enough.Thinking about it, according to Ren Feng, these are thieves, and thieves are naturally inferior to bandits, and their cultivation base is not much higher.

"Mine?" Ren Feng was a little surprised.There are two types of ore mining. There are many mines in Dezhou, and [-]% of them are open-pit mines. Such mines are easy to mine and convenient to transport.Cave mining is much more troublesome. Not only is the transportation distance long, but it also requires more labor. The most troublesome thing is the fear of landslides, which will kill people.

Of course, there is also a kind of natural mine. There is a huge space below the surface, which can be mined directly. Such mines are second only to open-pit mines.

Lian Chi nodded: "It's a mine, it's very huge. I went in for more than two hours and found that not only the entire mountain top was empty, but also the depth of the ground was unknown. A miner."

"Are they mining?" Ren Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, this is what he cares most about.

Lian Chi shook his head: "The few people I saw didn't mine ore, but wandered around." This is what puzzled him the most. These thieves, when they ran to this barren mountain, did not mine ore, but lived in the mine. , Turning around like a headless chicken is really weird.

"It's troublesome, they must have discovered that there is moon gold here." Ren Feng said with certainty, speaking of the familiarity with minerals, these miners have sharp noses, even better than many prospecting masters.

Yuejin is a treasure, Ren Daoyuan only hesitated for a moment, and then he made a decision in his heart: "Kill, don't leave a single one behind."

"They...they are just thieves, just drive them away." Ren Feng said with some disapproval.

Ren Daoyuan's words, Lian Chi, Gong Zifeng, and Huo Yujia all thought it was normal. In Qingzhou, the eight wastelands, if they saw horse thieves, they would naturally kill them.Just killing people is already very kind to horse thieves. In many state capitals, after catching horse thieves, they will use the grass to remove the skin.Beheading and hanging a tower are considered polite.

Qianzhou is different from Qingzhou. There are not many thieves. Unless they are the most heinous, they have to be questioned by the government. In the end, most of them are suppressed and sold into slavery. Not many thieves were beheaded.

"Ren Feng, your heart is too soft." Lian Chi said, turned and returned.

Ren Daoyuan smiled and didn't say anything. During this time in Qianzhou, he could already feel the difference between the two states.Sometimes, Ren Daoyuan really couldn't understand that although Qianzhou has a large population, most of them are as docile as sheep.But it is this sheep-like Qianzhou that is the largest state in Kyushu and extremely powerful.Compared with Qianzhou, the powerful Qinghuang people are unacceptably weak.

Ren Daoyuan and Huo Yujia are both descendants of aristocratic families, and they are far behind real soldiers.Lian Chi was born in the Secret Sword Dao School, so he can't be considered a ruthless person.If it was the Qingzhou army that came, you don’t need to ask at all, just kill them all, why would you come back and ask?
Before midnight, there was a strong smell of blood in the camp.Everyone's complexions were not good-looking, and even Chi was the best, but his complexion was a little pale.The resistance of the mine thieves was extremely weak, and after the three leading heaven-level experts were killed, the rest all surrendered.However, Ren Daoyuan made up his mind to behead all of them without leaving any of them.

Gong Zifeng's face was bloodless, but he killed nearly a hundred thieves with his own hands, and the attack was ruthless, which made Ren Feng feel sick.Ren Feng left home since he was a child and wandered outside for many years.It is not uncommon to fight against people, and naturally it is not the first time to kill someone.It was the first time to kill those thieves who surrendered.

Huo Yujia's face was covered with a black veil, but there was nothing wrong with it, but from her slightly trembling fingers, one could guess that she was not in a good mood.

Ren Daoyuan shook his head and sighed softly, it still doesn't work, his mentality is too bad.There were only more than 300 thieves in total, and five of them were so soft on their hands.If Jun Tianxiao knew about this, he wouldn't laugh at them to death.

It is said that Marshal Jun, when he was young, ordered the massacre of more than [-] horse thieves without batting an eyelid.Although this is an exaggeration, it is true.Since the massacre order, for a long time, the number of horse thieves in Qingzhou has decreased a lot.

"I found it, here it is." Lian Chi shouted loudly, and ran out of a barracks, holding a cloth bag in his hand.

"This is..." Ren Feng swallowed hard, and turned his dull eyes to Lianchi and Zhong's cloth bag.

Lian Chi ran to the crowd in two steps, opened the cloth bag in his hand, and poured out more than ten pieces of metal of various sizes from it.The metallic color is silvery white, exuding a haze like moonlight.

"Yuejin?" Ren Daoyuan reached out and picked up a piece. He had never seen Yuejin, but only read about it in a book.Borrowing the bright moonlight, the metals in his hands complement each other under the moonlight, emitting a half-foot-long halo.

"That's right, this is Yuejin, and there's quite a lot of it." Lian Chi said with a smile, a blush rose on his face, it's a good thing.Yuejin, that is the metal used by Yuezu to refine weapons. It is extremely valuable, not even weaker than ordinary Taoist weapons.

It's a pity that these moon gold are too small, the smallest one is no more than the size of a grain of rice, and the largest one is no more than the size of a fingernail.Adding more than ten yuan together is not much.

"These thieves really came here for Yuejin. Have you cleaned up the mine? Don't let a few escape." Ren Daoyuan casually threw Yuejin back into his bag and asked.

Lian Chi and Ren Feng nodded at the same time: "Don't worry, although there are quite a few of these mine thieves, their cultivation is only average, and none of them let go." Even if he couldn't bear it, Ren Feng understood that what Ren Daoyuan said was right, these People cannot let go.If the news of the moon gold production here spreads out, even if the Thunder Empire is unable to make a move due to contract issues, other forces will not have such scruples.

The two star masters seem to be very powerful, but they are still too weak in front of the real strong.The attraction of Yuejin is not ordinary, enough to attract Yuezu's attention.Any Moon Ancestor, no matter how weak his cultivation base is, is not something they can compete with.

It is easy to kill, but difficult to clean up. Most of the more than 300 corpses are scattered in every corner of the mine.Five people worked together, and it took three days to finally clean it up.The corpse only needs to be moved out of the mine and thrown under the cliff behind the mountain.Although the mountain is not high and there are few ferocious beasts around, there are many carrion birds in the sky. These corpses will soon turn into a pile of dead bones.

After a whole day of rest, the five people rushed into the mine with great interest and searched around.They had already memorized Yuejin's appearance, so naturally they would not admit it wrong.But when I really looked for it, I found that it was far from that easy.
