There were only five voice transmission talismans. Yun Chujiu could not bear to waste them, so she did not reply to Di Beiming. Instead, she happily started to roast the meat with Feng Ming and the others.
The next day, the progress was still very smooth. At their current pace, Yun Chusi and the others would be able to complete the mission in another day.
That night, at midnight, Yun Chujiu, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a small stone. Yun Chujiu woke up with a jolt!
Tonight was Feng Ming’s night shift. Seeing that Yun Chujiu had woken up, he asked curiously, “Junior Sister Little Jiu, why are you awake? Did you have a nightmare?”
Yun Chujiu shook her head. “Senior Brother Feng Ming, do you feel anything unusual?”
Feng Ming shook his head. “No, everything is normal!”
Yun Chujiu frowned. An Feng must have reminded her of the pebble just now. It was probably dangerous. Yun Chujiu did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly woke everyone up.
“Don’t go back to sleep! Get up, I’m afraid there’s going to be trouble!”
After everyone was woken up by Yun Chujiu, they looked around blankly. The Demonic Beast Forest was completely silent. There was nothing unusual!
However, they were already used to listening to Yun Chujiu’s warnings, so they immediately became alert.
“Little Black, go and take a look at what’s going on? Be careful!” Yun Chujiu let out Little Black Bird.
Little Black Bird acknowledged and flapped its wings to fly out!
After a few dozen breaths, Little Black Bird flew back. “Master, there are people coming. There are about a dozen of them. It seems that their spiritual power is very high. They are all covered in masks. Could they be coming for you?”
Yun Chujiu’s heart sank. However, it was too late to run now. She could only fight back.
A moment later, more than ten men in black arrived and surrounded Yun Chujiu and the others.
Yun Chujiu said timidly, “Seniors, what does this mean?”
The leader of the men said with a hoarse voice, “What does it mean? Of course, it means robbing people and killing them! Prepare to die!”
The man was about to attack when Yun Chujiu cried out, “Wait! I know a big secret, a big secret that can make a fortune. Do you want to hear it?”
“What big secret?” The Man’s eyes showed a hint of greed.
“We found an underground mineral vein and are going to report it to the sect. If you don’t kill me, I will take you to find that mineral vein.”
“Mineral vein? What mineral vein?” The man was skeptical. It was true that some underground minerals were found in the Demonic Beast Forest by chance, but the probability was very small.
“I’m not sure what kind of lode it is either. Anyway, there are many valuable ores. If you don’t believe me, take a look for yourself. We just dug it up today.” Yun Chujiu took out a large pile of colorful ore from her storage ring and threw it to the men in black.
“Oh my God! Haze Stone, Pearl Jade Stone, and Hibiscus stone? These are all high-grade ores!”
“Oh my God, that mine can’t be the legendary Hui Cui Mine, right?!”
“It must be Hui Cui mine. Oh my god, we’re going to be rich! These ores are even more valuable than Spirit Stone mines!”
…
Feng Ming and the other two secretly cursed in their hearts. Junior Sister Jiu, you’re really good at making up stories! These ores were clearly Little Black Rats rations, how could there be a mine?!
The black-robed men greedily looked at the ores. A moment later, the leader of the black-robed men kept all the ores into his storage ring, he coldly said, “Bring us to that ore vein immediately. If I find out that you’re lying, I will let you have a taste of what it means to live a life worse than death.”
