Just when Chen Yiming decided to observe in secret first, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped shooting and stayed hundreds of meters away after returning without success again and again.

The middle-aged man did not continue to shoot, and the group of young men and women neither fought back nor continued to run, and the two sides remained silent for a few minutes.

Finally, a young woman broke the silence: "Senior Zhu Qun, it's just some source mines. It's not sure that there is really source gas in it. It may turn out to be a pile of stones."

"Look, we have been at war for more than ten kilometers. This is not a good choice in the death penalty area, in case we are targeted by the terrifying existence on the mountain."

The middle-aged man didn't answer, his face was uncertain, he didn't seem to really give up, he was still trying to get rid of the group of people in front of him.

Seeing this, the group of young men and women retreated a few steps around the woman who spoke, and made a gesture of resolutely embracing the enemy.

This move clearly tells the opposite party that no matter how much you threaten them, no matter how high the cultivation level of seniors is, they will not disperse and flee, causing them to be chased one by one in the end.

Scattered and fled, this is a relatively weak group, a common way to deal with strong enemies, but the actual effect is not necessarily good, it is equivalent to giving the initiative to luck.

Chen Yiming, who was behind the low slope, heard the woman mention that there was a horror on the mountain.

He turned his gaze to the nearest mountain in front of him. In such a huge wild world, the mountain is so conspicuous as a landmark.

I took a closer look, but I couldn't see anything directly. There seemed to be no difference between the environment on the mountain and the mountain below, just some bare rocks, and similar exotic flowers and plants.

Soon he withdrew his gaze, and continued to hide in the dark but couldn't listen.

The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and then said: "Leave half of the source mine, and I will leave without entanglement, otherwise everyone will be so exhausted, and no one can bear it first."

As soon as these words came out, many young men and women on the opposite side showed anger.

It's too shameless, such a strong act of robbery and robbery, first hunt them down, and now they will be divided in half if they fail to kill them.

You must know that the source ore carried by each person is not picked up directly, but dug at great risk. The team has sacrificed several people for this.

The middle-aged man smiled and continued: "Little girl, you are their leader, right? You have to think clearly. I am just one person and you are a dozen people."

"No matter what happens in the Unity Realm, the energy and blood are much stronger than yours. When avoiding fighting with your joint attack technique, you will definitely not be able to consume me."

Hearing this, the young woman felt that the strength of the sword in her right hand became much stronger.

If the senior named Zhu Qun in front of him was not cheating them, it would indeed be a bit of a dilemma for these young men and women.

After all, the technique of joint attack is to gather the strength of everyone. Although it can compete with the opponent in a short period of time, it is not concentrated on one person, and is relatively more passive.

Now there are two options. One is to choose to believe in the other party's words, and hand over half of the source ore on everyone's possession, in exchange for this pursuit to end here.

The hidden danger is to hand over half of it. If the other party breaks his promise and continues to persecute him, should he hand over the rest of the source ore?

You must know that once the breath of group resistance is lost, and the bargaining chips willing to risk their lives to protect are halved, is there anyone in the team who is wavering in protecting the source mine and saving their lives?

Once the hearts of the people are not in harmony, the team or even the group will end, and the people and money will be empty.

The second option is to hold a group to resist to the end, continue to fight and retreat outside the death penalty area, but the speed of fighting and retreating is definitely as slow as a turtle compared to the normal speed of moving forward.

In this way, even if the middle-aged man continues to persecute, there is a high probability that the movement caused by the long journey will be that the two sides pulled each other and blew up.

This is in the death penalty area, and the end of the two sides will definitely not be good.

"This source mine is similar to the gambling stone on the Blue Star. No one knows the internal situation until it is mined, but even such a situation makes these people not hesitate to work hard."

Chen Yiming in the distance felt the fierce competition for the source mine.

Although he didn't see where these young men and women got the source ore and what price they paid, he could see the value of the source ore from their determination.

In the arena, the time left for young women to choose is counted in seconds. Every second of hesitation under high pressure by the team will only make people's hearts fluctuate.

Soon, it was almost a moment of weighing, and the young woman said to her companion in a deep voice: "If we hand over the source mine easily, what's the point of us risking our lives to enter the death penalty zone."

"Anyway, you're going to die anyway. If you can leave this place with the source mine, in case someone's luck explodes, maybe with the help of the source gas from the source mine, you can break through to the next level in one fell swoop."

When the middle-aged man across the street heard it, his expression became ugly again.

Looking back at this group of more than ten young men and women, it seems that the goal has become clear again, and the few who were irritated just now calmed down.

Then, the group of young men and women didn't stay any longer, turned around and moved forward in small steps, but always put most of their attention behind them, to guard against the middle-aged man's sudden attack.

The middle-aged man didn't give up either, he hung on to these young men and women and followed them.

After the low slope, Chen Yiming walked in the direction where these people were leaving, and whispered to himself: "It happens that both sides are unwilling to give up easily, which saves me from thinking about which side to follow."

After waiting in place for a while, he hung far behind the middle-aged man and followed.

Now, a group of young men and women in the Inscription Pattern Realm, carrying a large number of source ores, were targeted by a middle-aged man at the Unity Realm.

Without realizing it, the two sides were targeted by a powerful guy in the god level.

The three parties just walked in the death penalty zone.

...

In a blink of an eye, half a day passed.

Chen Yiming, who followed all the way, also learned more about this forbidden area of ​​death.

The first thing the middle-aged man and the group of young men and women avoided was to stay away from the nine mountains. What surprised Chen Yiming was that the positions of the nine mountains would change.

Such a huge mountain, like a mirage, randomly appears in a certain area in the forbidden area of ​​death every few hours.

Another thing that needs to be avoided is that when the mountain just appears in a certain position, there will be creatures going down the mountain to patrol around and then return.

These creatures are of different races, there are human beings among them, and there are also beasts among them. The uniform feature is that the skin is dry and black and sticks tightly to the bones, and it looks like the flesh has completely lost moisture.

Walked a lot of areas in the death penalty area, and there was no trace of the mine on the surface.

But Chen Yiming saw people similar to that group of young men and women, taking advantage of the gap when there were creatures going down the mountain to inspect, avoiding the patrolling creatures and entering the mountain.

Then, before the souls returned to the mountain, those who entered the mountain would come out cautiously. Someone had a heavy bag, which should be the source mine.

He also saw some unlucky beings who came out and bumped into the creatures returning to the mountain.

Combat is imminent, but short-lived.

Those creatures who patrolled down the mountain possessed a mysterious power that could deprive them of vitality, and combined with the environment of continuous consumption of energy and blood in the death penalty area, they had almost no opponents.

Therefore, people with bad luck naturally turned into mummy without exception, and then were brought back to the mountain by the patrolling creatures.

...

Death zone.

A small valley with low terrain.

The range of the valley is less than one kilometer, and there are some exotic flowers and plants growing there. At the lowest point in the center, there is a ground spring with accumulated water.

The middle-aged man drank a few sips of water here, and finally chose to give up and leave. At this time, he had aged a lot from the appearance, and a strand of black hair on each temple had turned white.

A person's qi and blood are closely related to vitality. When qi and blood are exhausted, signs of premature aging will appear. A strand of white hair on the temples is a sign.

Chen Yiming placed a space anchor coordinate on the middle-aged man without anyone knowing it, and then decided whether to chase it or not depending on the situation.

"These people have taken such a serious toll on their bodies once they entered the death penalty zone. If they return empty-handed several times, I'm afraid they will never be able to recover from the wear and tear."

He turned to look at the group of young men and women.

After confirming that the middle-aged man gave up leaving, they also entered the small valley to drink some water before continuing on the road. However, before the comparison, each of them looked the same as a middle-aged person.

Among them, the young woman leading this group of people is better, but she has also changed from a young and beautiful woman to a mature woman in her thirties.

I saw a group of people dragging their slightly tired bodies to the ground spring and squatting down.

The men breathed a long sigh of relief, and then took a deep breath. The water spring turned into a small water column, and Gululu drank a lot.

A woman was also about to drink some water, when she saw the reflection on the water surface, she suddenly exclaimed, and she fell into it, causing two waves of water to explode.

"It's a bit unlucky this time, being forced by someone like this, but it's the first time you've entered the death penalty zone. After this kind of wear and tear is gone, you can recover without the help of origin qi."

Someone next to him spoke and comforted the woman in the water.

The woman who fell into the water entered the death penalty area with the team for the first time, and encountered the dilemma of a middle-aged man pressing every step of the way.

At this time, I couldn't accept my appearance for a while, and suddenly entered the middle-aged appearance. For normal operations, the team will plan the time to stay in the death penalty area and calculate the energy and blood consumption of the round trip.

A few minutes during the team's recuperation.

Someone finished drinking the water and said worriedly: "Sister Wenqi, do you think that Zhu Qun will count the time and ambush us outside the death penalty area in advance?"

Wen Qi, a 30-year-old mature woman, was also the young woman who led the team before.

"It is possible. After all, everyone's physical condition has reached this point. It is impossible to change the direction of departure on a large scale."

Wen Qi sighed and nodded.

In fact, she simply calculated in her heart, when Zhu Qun gave up and left, she probably figured out that the other party didn't really give up, but was even planning to find helpers to stop them.

"Since this is the case, everyone might as well open the source mine on the spot, cut off Zhu Qun's prying eyes directly, and use it as a cleansing of impurities in the body, and further consolidate the basic talent."

The man before continued.

As soon as the words fell, the entire group fell silent, even Wen Qi who led the team was no exception.

The death zone is not suitable for practice because of the special environment of continuous consumption of energy and blood. If the source energy that can help breakthrough is used here, it is equivalent to wasting.

After all, these people don't have the extravagant conditions of Fatty Gao. They use a lot of source energy to baptize themselves. The source mines are all brought out of the mountain at the risk of their lives. No one knows whether they will leave their lives in the next time. in.

In other words, if one opportunity is wasted, there may be no next opportunity.

Soon, Wen Qi broke the silence: "From the perspective of saving life, it is naturally better to open the source mine, but this kind of thing requires the consent of the majority of people, and everyone needs to stay away from each other."

"Otherwise some people decide to open source mines, and some people decide not to open source mines, and the team will have big problems. I have experienced internal strife and bloodshed before."

Wen Qi deliberately emphasized that if there is a disagreement, the team will have big problems.

a few kilometers away.

After listening secretly, Chen Yiming nodded.

This is easy to understand. Open source mining is like betting on rocks. Some people are lucky, while others are not.

A group of people are too close, it is inevitable that there will be people who lost the bet, and they will be jealous when they see the lucky people in an instant. Just now, they teamed up back to back to deal with the middle-aged man. At that time, they may even attack their companions.

Even in an environment like the forbidden area of ​​death, because it is an environment that is not suitable for cultivation, the probability of causing jealousy is greatly reduced. After all, it is not impossible.

...

After a few minutes, the group reached a consensus and decided to open the source mine on the spot.

Each of them had an uneasy heart, and the team dispersed, with an interval of at least one kilometer between each other, before stopping.

During this process, everyone was vigilant because the middle-aged man suddenly left and returned, but in fact this did not happen.

The reason may be that the middle-aged man feels that if he continues to consume, the income will not be proportional to the effort.

Chen Yiming used the space anchor to locate the coordinates, and appeared behind Wen Qi a few meters away, stepping on the void without making any movement, wanting to see how the other party opened up the mine.

Wen Qi confirmed that the middle-aged man would not go back and forth, she focused all her attention on the cloth bag she took from her waist, and then she took out a piece of source mine from it.

The overall texture of the source ore is grayish white, and in fact it is not much different from ordinary stones. At least Chen Yiming can't tell it from the appearance.

At this time, a simple stone knife was held in Wen Qi's other hand, and she carefully cut the source ore in her hand gradually from the outside.

From the movement, it can be seen that he is very skilled, careful but not slow, the flake-like stone skin keeps flying down on the ground next to him.

Soon, the last knife cut the source ore completely, and there was nothing inside, just like ordinary stones, it was completely solid.

"It didn't go well at the beginning, it seems that there is no luck to burst the table!"

Chen Yiming, who was like a ghost behind him, stared at the two and a half stones that had been discarded on the ground, and commented in his heart.

Wen Qi was not discouraged either, she seemed to be used to it, she quickly took out a piece of source ore from the cloth bag, and began to cut open bit by bit with a stone knife.

However, the second source ore also contained nothing.

Then, the third piece, the fourth fast...until the cloth bag was blown by the wind, all the source mines inside had been mined, except for the stone skin on the ground, there was no trace of the source gas.

"Is this woman unlucky, or is the shipment rate of the source mine already low?"

Seeing this, Chen Yiming suddenly had doubts in his heart. After all, it was his first contact with this open source mine, but the woman in front of him opened nearly twenty source mines, which is quite a lot.

At this moment, there were sobbing sounds one after another in the distance.

Don't think about it, someone must have opened up a lot of stone skins, and the source mine brought out by risking their lives was useless.

"Wait, Wen Qi seems to have a problem."

Chen Yiming suddenly recalled that from the beginning to the end just now, although the woman not far away was also earnestly opening up the mine, she always felt that something was wrong from her emotions.

That's right, it's just that there is no such a sudden sense of depression as when all stone bets fail.

"Zhu Qun, you old guy, you forced this girl to almost reveal her secrets. It's a good thing that this bag of source mines hasn't been shipped, otherwise you will definitely be unable to eat it."

Wen Qi put away the stone knife, patted the stone dust in her hands, and cursed in a low voice.

In stark contrast to the others, she didn't particularly care that a bag of nearly twenty yuan of source ore hadn't been shipped.
