It was different from other flat lands. Once one entered the Great Bridge City area, there were endless mountains . Even Great Bridge City was built at the foot of the mountain, similar to any mountain city.

Sima You Yue and the others came to a summit within the deep mountains.

Sima You Yue looked at the long mountain range far away and asked, “Is that the ore vein you talked about?”

“That’s right.” Old Man Li was still trembling when he saw that mountain, “We’ll be in that area in a few more kilometres.”

Sima You Yue noticed his reaction and said, “Wait for us here, you don’t have to go.”

Old Man Li sighed a huge relief after hearing that. He nodded and said, “I’ll wait for you here then.”

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu went down from the mountains as they approached the ore vein slowly. They stopped a few metres away from the area of the ore vein.

“There are strong troops keeping watch.” Wu Lingyu sensed many auras from the foot of the mountain.

Sima You Yue was at a safe distance from the ore vein when she sensed that there were a few soldiers. They would need a bit of time if they just went ahead with it. Also, the noise would attract Great Bridge City’s attention.

“It seems like we need to come up with a plan.” She rubbed her chin as she quickly thought of an idea to deal with the situation.

At the foot of the ore vein, the soldiers were in groups of three or five while keeping watch on the district.

“How long do we need to keep watch here? We’ve kept watch the whole day and haven’t been able to step away or cultivate. We’re wasting our lives here!” A soldier whined.

“That’s right! There’s nothing here, we can’t even go for a drink.”

“Both of you should stop whining. You’ll be dead if the higher ups heard what you said.” Another soldier stopped them.

“Stop pretending. I don’t believe that you don’t miss that close friend of yours.”

The first soldier who spoke laughed teasingly.

“I won’t say it even if I do miss him. The patrols will be here anytime soon, I won’t be able to save your lives if they hear you.” The one who got teased said.

“Do you think there’s really an ore vein inside this abnormal place?”

“I haven’t seen any ore vein, but I’ve seen many corpses.”

“Every single one who has gone in has died, and I haven’t seen a single person bring out an ore? I count myself unlucky to have to keep watch at this kind of place.”

“Alright, stop whining.”

“Did you hear that?”

“What’s there?”

“I think I heard something.”

“Stop joking. Even underworld beasts don’t come to such a weird place, what could there be.”

“I really heard something, it seemed to have come from the forest in front.”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

“Then go over and take a look!”

“I don’t want to! Go by yourself if you want to!”

“The patrols are coming. The three of us wouldn’t be able to make a difference if something happened here. Let’s just take a look.”

The one who got teased earlier carefully walked over. Very quickly, his shadows were covered by the dense bushes.

“Oh….”

A low groan was heard from the trees.

“Hey, what’s happening over there?” The two who kept watch there asked.

“Nothing, I accidentally banged into the trees.” That person responded.

The other two laughed, how could he be so clumsy to bang into the trees at his age.

After a while, he came back.

Both of them wanted to tease him, but before they even talked, they saw the patrols walking over. The three of them immediately stood in position.

A few patrols came over and asked them, “Did anything strange happen here?”

“In response to Envoy, nothing is out of the normal for now.” The one who was teased replied.

“Mm.” Envoy nodded, “They are here to change shifts with you, follow me.”

Three of them smiled happily, it had finally come to an end!

They changed shifts, and three of them followed the Envoy at the back to change others’ shifts at another spot as they prepared to go back.

Someone came before they got out of the area.

“Envoy You, what brings you here?”

“Commander has invited Great Master Liu to take a look at the ore vein.” Envoy You responded, “Let’s go together since you are free.”

They were stunned. He wanted them to follow them there? Would they still be able to come out alive then? However, Envoy You had higher rights than any average Envoys, so they couldn’t reject even if they wanted to. They had no choice but to follow him obediently.

“Hahaha, there’s no need to worry, all the strange things that happened at the ore vein were actually caused by the power inside, it was just causing mischief. Once I expose this power, you won’t have to be afraid anymore.” Great Master Liu said confidently.

They thought to themselves that the people that Commander Hua found were extraordinary people. There was nothing to be afraid of with him here!

With that thought, everyone became braver.

Envoy You brought them into the mountain. Sima You Yue, who impersonated as a soldier could sense the chill shrouding all over her body, like what Old Man Li said.

“Great Master Liu, can you feel it?” Envoy You asked.

“Mm, I feel it. This is the chill that the force has released, it’s normal.” Great Master Liu said.

“Great Master Liu, are you confident?”

“Judging by the chill, the force is indeed very strong. We’ll have to get closer to see if this can be solved.” At this point, Great Master Liu had to change the plan that he had come up with in advance before entering the place.

Initially, Sima You Yue thought that Great Master Liu just had a smattering of knowledge and was overconfident, but it seemed like he actually had some skills. It seemed true that not just anyone could catch Commander’s eyes.

Envoy You didn’t reproach him after hearing what he said. He had been here twice and, both times, he had barely escaped. Hence, he knew how strange and powerful it was here.

“Let’s take a look around.” He told Great Master Liu.

“Sure.”

The atmosphere in the group became heavier after seeing how unconfident Great Master Liu was. Everyone became careful as they were afraid something would suddenly happen.

Sima You Yue slowly joined the group at the back. She looked around to appraise the situation and even asked Mi Er to leave secretly.

Envoy You could sense something so he turned around to take a look at the back of the group. He didn’t seem to find anything strange apart from everyone’s nervous looks, so he slightly frowned without saying anything.

“Ah——”

The one walking in the middle suddenly shouted as he fell to the ground. In a short moment, he died and dissipated into black smoke.

The men around him cried out as they ran away. All of them looked around their surroundings anxiously. How did he die when there was nothing at all?

Envoy You came back and asked them, “What happened?”

“He suddenly died, but we didn’t catch a glimpse of anything at all!” Someone replied.

“Did he die suddenly?”

“Yes, he was walking in the middle, but we didn’t see anyone at all.”
