Chapter 1421 Can’t pretend anymore
Ye Liuyun silently watched Xifeng King's performance from behind, sneering in his heart.
Qu Jing felt more and more that Ye Liuyun was right.
But he was also curious about what the environment was like deep in the mine veins.
Going further, the ground becomes very unstable, with many cracks, and flames shoot out from the cracks from time to time.
From time to time, they would also see soldiers pressing a team of miners to dig out some flaming boulders on the spot.
They were probably brought out by the fire-breathing rocks.
King Xifeng continued to lead them deeper, until they came to a ring-shaped mountain range, King Xifeng stopped.
He pointed to the mountains in front and said: "That's the fire crystal vein, which grows side by side with the magic crystal vein.
Magic crystals are useless, we only need fire crystals. "
As soon as he finished speaking, fire suddenly erupted from one part of the mountain range, and a large part of the mountain collapsed due to the flames.
When Qu Jing saw this, he also frowned.
The temperature where they were located was extremely high, and the black demonic energy could be seen with the naked eye.
Even martial arts cultivators at the Creation realm would not dare to stay here much longer, let alone soldiers with low realms.
Coming here to mine is tantamount to asking soldiers to die.
"This is not possible! The level of the soldiers is too low, and they are simply going to die!"
Qu Jing refused directly.
"Don't worry, the more fire crystal veins you dig out, the weaker the power of the veins will be!"
King Xifeng is still fooling Qu Jing.
"With such a large mineral vein, when the power weakens, all those soldiers will die!"
Qu Jing was not stupid either. He could tell at a glance that King Xifeng was deceiving him.
He has given up all hope on King Xifeng now.
I just hope that King Xifeng can let them leave smoothly.
When King Xifeng saw that Qu Jing firmly disagreed and knew that he could no longer pretend, his expression immediately changed.
"Brother Qu, you'll be divided into 40 and 60, but you won't want to go back on your terms now, will you?"
Qu Jing also quickly explained: "That's because I didn't know the environment here at the time, and you didn't tell me it was so dangerous here.
If I knew, of course I would not agree! "
King Xifeng did not argue with him, but sneered and asked: "If you don't mine, what will you two hundred thousand people eat and drink?"
When Qu Jing heard this, his expression also changed: "King Xifeng, the supplies I gave you before are enough for us people to eat for at least half a year, right?"
King Xifeng laughed: "Those supplies can only be regarded as the cost of my protection for you.
There are so many of you occupying such a big space like mine, so you don’t have to pay rent?
Do you still need me to provide food and drink? "
Qu Jing's face became more gloomy, and he argued with him: "I saved your life before, so you still charge me for occupying some space?
We will find ways to feed and clothe ourselves, so we don’t need you to provide them. "
"good!"
King Xifeng nodded: "You saved me, I don't charge you any fees, it's considered as repayment of gratitude.
But your arrival has attracted the attention of the empire, which will inevitably attract the empire's army.
When the time comes to start a war, won’t resources be needed and there will be no casualties?
How to calculate those losses? "
"Since you said so, let's just leave so as not to cause you any trouble!"
Qu Jing also didn't expect that King Xifeng would settle accounts with him like this.
He had also predicted before that King Xifeng might be greedy for some resources.
But he didn't expect that he would not be satisfied even though he was given so many resources.
Unexpectedly, King Xifeng laughed loudly: "You come when you say you want to come and leave when you say you want?
Are you kidding me? "
This time, Qu Jing was completely confused!
"Is it really true that Ye Liuyun was right?"
He thought to himself.
Qu Jing immediately asked King Xifeng: "What do you mean?"
"Hmph!"
King Xifeng snorted coldly, and the high-level martial arts cultivators behind him immediately released their pressure and surrounded them.
"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving! Your soldiers have been surrounded by me, and you can't leave now even if you want to.
I advise you to let them dig mines obediently.
It’s not like you have to do it yourself anyway! "
King Xifeng continued to threaten Qu Jing. After all, he did not want to take action for fear of losing the miners.
"As long as you let the soldiers dig the mines properly, I guarantee that you will live here safely for the rest of your life!"
King Xifeng also pretended to promise Qu Jing.
"I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
Qu Jing finally saw the true face of King Xifeng, and of course he would not be fooled by him again.
However, King Xifeng's face did not change color and he said without any concern: "People can change.
I am also helpless and have no resources. What can I do to fight against the empire? "
"I brought the soldiers out, not to let them go mining and die!"
Qu Jing saw that he was determined not to care about his old relationship, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"What a joke! If you don't come to me, you won't be able to escape the fate of being wiped out in the end.
What happened to mining?
It's all about death anyway, why not make some contribution to me before you die! "
Xifeng King said coldly.
"It's different! You don't need to say it anymore.
Farewell! "
Qu Jing turned around to leave, but was suppressed by the pressure from those martial arts cultivators, unable to move.
"how?
Do you still want to use force against me? "
Qu Jing has completely given up on King Xifeng now.
"Original! Keeping you in charge will make your soldiers more obedient.
But you refused to eat the toast and got a penalty drink! Let me give you one more advice.
If you die, your soldiers will be even worse off! "
King Xifeng directly threatened.
“Even if people change, they will never become as ungrateful as you.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have saved you in the first place!
If you have the ability, try it.
My soldiers can't see me. Even if they all die in battle, they won't dig mine for you! If you want to kill them, you have to pay the price! "
Qu Jing also became hardened.
Anyway, his face has been broken, and it will be useless no matter how low he is.
"well!"
King Xifeng shook his head: "You really overestimate your influence! In the face of death, your soldiers will also succumb!"
After saying that, he made a gesture towards a martial arts cultivator in the Heavenly Realm.
The martial artist immediately took action and arrested Qu Wanying.
"what you up to?"
Qu Jing was also angry.
"It would be too unfair for such a charming girl to be given to these men of mine! For the sake of saving my life, how about I give you another chance and let you think about it again?"
King Xifeng captured Qu Wanying to threaten Qu Jing, which was Qu Jing's weakness.
After all, King Xifeng still wanted to directly control Qujing so that the 200,000 soldiers could mine with peace of mind.
Only then did Qu Jing suddenly remember what Ye Liuyun had reminded him before.
Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun had already seen through King Xifeng.
And he was ridiculously suspicious of Ye Liuyun.
