"Many people say that the Thunder Stone Cave has a history of two thousand years. This sentence is actually wrong, because its history is far more than two thousand years. As early as the Thunder Dynasty, when the Thunder Throne was hanging high in the sky, the earth began to silently gather elements and nurture ores. At the end of the Thunder Dynasty, a scavenger city had been formed on the earth. Tens of thousands of people relied on the ore fertilized underground and the garbage falling from the sky to survive. When the human-demon war broke out and the demons broke through the floating city, the entire floating city fell, turning the two cities into ruins, forming the prototype of the Thunder Stone Cave."

In the mine, Yuan Yi took the lead and gave an explanation while walking.

His pace was not fast, and the traces of weakness caused by the transfer of imperial power were still retained on his face, but his voice had gradually recovered a little bit of vitality.

"When people today talk about Thunderstone City, the first thing they think of is rich elemental minerals and cities that flourish because of the mining industry; a few who are well-informed probably know the thunder clouds that have not dispersed for thousands of years above Thunderstone City. But few people know that the essence of the Thunderstone Cave is a huge cemetery. Those buried here two thousand years ago are not only rare treasures of the Elemental Dynasty, but also more than one million creatures in the two cities."

Speaking of this, Yuan Yi stopped and pointed to a spacious snow-white corridor ahead: "The mine cave ruins over there [Snow Lei Yu Cave] are the earliest mining area in the entire Thunder Stone Cave. They were opened by the ancestors of the empire before 1900 and were abandoned because of the ore exhausted 1700 years ago. Now they have been transformed into a tourist attraction, and they welcome more than 50,000 tourists every year, and earn hundreds of millions of income by selling the imitated [Snow Lei Yu]... But no tour guide will mention the true origin of [Snow Lei Yu] to others when selling imitated jade."

"This [Snow Lei Jade Cave] was not abandoned because of the completion of ore mining. 1,700 years ago, mining experts generally believed that the resources in the mining area were still sufficient to mine for hundreds of years... However, just as people were marching in underground mines, they seemed to awaken the undead that had been sleeping for a hundred years."

"The mines began to be frequently haunted, and it was not the kind of farce that was safe, but a real tragedy! In just one year, more than 100 miners died in various supernatural events, and the truth of their deaths was not completely restored to this day. At that time, the entire mining area was completely paralyzed, and the mine owners could not resume production with gold yuan and whip, so they had to report the situation. So the imperial master personally led a team to the mining area, purified all the dead souls with the master-level magical powers, and finally resolved the dangers in the mining area... But as the dead souls disappeared, all the [Snow Thunder Jade] in the mining area also disappeared, and there was no residue left. At that time, people realized that the so-called [Snow Thunder Jade] was actually the perfect [Blood and Tears Jade]."

"[Snow Thunder Jade] is essentially a product of the combination of millions of dead souls and elemental power. It contains both huge elemental energy and the madness of millions of dead souls... After realizing this, the value of [Snow Thunder Jade] plummeted. Most of them were recycled by the empire and sealed. A small part of them died of accidents after being circulated among the people for a period of time. To this day, even the origin of this [Snow Thunder Jade] can only sell imitations."

After Yuan Yi gave a commentary, he cleared his throat: "Everyone, how do you feel?"

Lan Lan slapped her lips: "Overall, in our white-clothed tribe, the old Wu Zhu can tell 20 of these stories in ten minutes."

Yuan Yi smiled: "If you have the opportunity, you must visit the White-Clothing Tribe and listen to the stories of the old witches and prayers... But what I just said is more than the story, it is closely related to our next itinerary. What I want to remind everyone is that the Thunder Stone Mining Cave is far less safe than the rumors. Although many mining giants are constantly digging in depth the ore, it is based on very strict protective measures..."

Qingyue said: "It also includes strict news blockade?"

Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment and shrugged helplessly: "That's right, when promoting externally, of course, he would say that the mine cave is absolutely safe. In fact, all kinds of accidents in the Thunder Stone mine cave have never been cut off, but those that are not related are directly concealed and not reported. In addition, a few particularly dangerous areas will be heavily sealed, such as..."

While speaking, Yuan Yi led the way to a fork in front of a road located on the upper floor of the mine.

In front is a slightly narrow, winding downward black passage. Yellow tape is pulled at the entrance, and a wooden warning sign is erected, which says "Do not get close to it during construction."

"From the outside, this passage is just in the transformation operation, and similar areas are countless in the Thunderstone Mine Cave... But in fact, people are forbidden to approach because the other end of the passage is extremely dangerous. If you remember correctly, the workers of [Sanping Mining] dug a blood lake there, and more than 100 workers were swallowed up by the lake in an instant, and the bones were gone. The blood demons in the lake were barely suppressed by the sincere cooperation of many demon masters... Later, there were always demon priests who did not believe in evil and wanted to explore the mystery of the blood lake, but more than half of them could not come back, and the survivors who came back would leave a mark of disability that would be indelible forever. So 200 years ago, the blood lake was sealed by the royal family and no one was allowed to enter... Until today, what was there behind the warning sign is unknown."

When Lan Lan heard this, she immediately showed an excited look, as if she was going to go there in person to find out.

Qingyue sighed and said, "This unknown is just for most people. Don't you know what's behind?"

Yuan Yi said: "It's true that I can't hide it from the Demon Princess. Indeed, the teacher lifted the royal seal through me 13 years ago, and then crossed the boundary line alone to explore the Blood Lake and refine the demon king in the lake... There is nothing behind this seal."

Qingyue said: "So you are just reminding us that through the imperial power of the Shengyuan, you can enter and exit the forbidden areas in the mine at will?"

Yuan Yi said: "It's not just that. There are many forbidden areas in this mine, and they are cleverly disguised. From the outside, they are just ordinary abandoned mines. If you check one by one, it will probably take years and years of hard work. But if you can make full use of the imperial power, you can avoid many detours... For example, you can use the royal identity to revoke all bans in the mine."

Lan Lan said incredibly: "This is OK?"

Qingyue said: "It is only theoretically feasible. If imperial power is such a convenient thing, I am afraid that there will be lunatics who have been here to destroy the world in so many years."

Yuan Yi laughed: "Yes, the more royal the more likely it is to be crazy, so the use of imperial power has very strict restrictions, the first of which is the constraints from the tree of immortality."

"That's why you naturally handed over the imperial power to Xiaobai because the tree of immortality cannot restrain him?"

"Well, there are some reasons for this, but it's mainly to prove sincerity. After all... Time no longer allows me to slowly win the trust of others. And I also hope to give you enough motivation to go deep into the mine as soon as possible... To be honest, I was worried at first, how to convince you not to find foreign aid."

Yuan Yi smiled bitterly when he said this. He descended from the sky to the Thunder Stone Mine Cave. What he was most worried about along the way was that once he told Bai Xiao and others the truth, the group of people would immediately go to Zhu Junshen and others for help...

It’s not that he can’t trust the Qin people, but first of all, Yuan Yi really doesn’t want things to spread widely. Secondly, judging from the speed of the spread of the black fog, he can’t resist the trouble of asking for help from back and forth.

Fortunately, the people from the White-clothed tribe were really reckless in the sky. The three of them had never considered asking for help at all, so they walked directly into the depths of the mine.

"I don't think that when the three of us join forces, we still need outsiders to help us." Qingyue said, "Then, Xiaobai, I'll leave it to you next."

Bai Xiao nodded, then poked his right hand forward, and his palm seemed to hold the invisible veins in the mine out of thin air. As the knuckles beat, the entire underground mine began to rumble.

Yuan Yi couldn't help but jumped down his eyelids.

Bai Xiao is really reckless! He should be very clear about how huge the risk will be. It is the barrier that the Holy Yuan Empire has been gradually consolidated for nearly two thousand years to isolate the completely unpredictable supernatural shore. When he revoked it, he didn't even blink...

However, if you want to talk about rashness, you are not inferior to you... You have transferred the most important imperial power of the empire to an outsider and encouraged him to destroy the royal seal of the Thunder Stone Mine Cave. I am afraid that there are few lunatics like yourself in the two thousand years of history of the Holy Yuan Empire.

But now, only madmen can break the deadlock.

The muffled noise in the mine continued for a while, and when the tremor under his feet stopped, the atmosphere in the entire mine became strange.

Lan Lan wrinkled her nose: "There is a rotten smell in the air."

Bai Xiao confirmed: "It's the smell of rotten corpses. In terms of number... at least more than five hundred corpses, the number is still increasing!"

Yuan Yi said: "This is the historical heritage of the two thousand-year-old empire. So can you smell other than rotten smell?"

Bai Xiao raised his head and carefully distinguished the information brought by the flowing air.

"The spirit tastes very strong, but I'm not an expert in this regard."

Lan Lan summoned the bone staff, waved it gently beside him, frowned and said, "There is indeed a very strong spiritual breath, but there is no spiritual cycle here, so... all spirits, whether living things, undead, or elemental spirits, are suppressed underground, melting and rotting. I can't analyze the information from this residue. Well, it seems that someone deliberately calculated this point and deliberately disrupted the spirit into a ball."

Bai Xiao said: "Then, in addition to the smell of rotten corpses and spirits, I can also smell the fresh smell on the ground in the direction over there."

Yuan Yi looked along the direction of Bai Xiao's finger and was shocked.
