Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

The army was mobilized to search the surrounding area, and gradually some clues surfaced.

There have been incidents of young and middle-aged people disappearing in Beiyuan County since eight years ago.

"For various reasons, nearly 20,000 young and middle-aged people have disappeared over the past eight years."

Several officials from the county magistrate's office knelt in the sun, sweating profusely.

Lin Duofu, the county magistrate, reported tremblingly, kneeling there and staring at the corner of Xiao Zhixing's clothes moving back and forth, "I have mentioned this matter to the county governor, but he, he didn't care. Besides, in this remote place, it's normal for people to die or disappear in an accident. Even the common people themselves don't care."

"Has anyone noticed anything unusual?"

A young official suppressed his fear and said tremblingly, "I heard from my distant aunt that her village has the most accidents, and that place is close to Daxing Mountain..."

Xiao Zhixing was surprised. This was a smart man, and his words told her that there was a problem over there.

Either the person is really smart, or someone deliberately arranged for him to go there.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Lin Erchun." The official said nervously.

"Okay, Lin Erchun, take my men to investigate. If you find anything, it will be a great achievement."

Let Ying Er go there personally to investigate the place called Baiwan Village.

The white phoenix in the sky also passed by.

Xiao Zhixing turned to face the pale Qi Danhedao: "General Qi, order the blockade of all official roads and waterways in Beizhou. Carpet search in the past half month. We must find their transportation channels."

If there is an emergency evacuation, someone will definitely be exposed.

If there is gold and iron ore to be transported, that would be even better, so that we can catch the thieves and seize the stolen goods.

Qi Danhe responded and acted quickly. He just prayed that the truth would be revealed soon.

Xiao Zhixing personally went to look through the county annals, read ten lines at a glance, and soon made some discoveries.

An Ziji has been in Beizhou for nearly nine years. He has been promoted step by step from a county magistrate to a county governor. He is considered a promising young man.

Let’s look at the place where he once worked, Bei’an County, which is next to Beiyuan County.

The mountain range in the middle where the two counties meet is where Lin Erchun’s aunt’s village is located.

Without waiting for Bai Feng to send back the message, she immediately led two thousand soldiers to chase after him.

Soon it was early morning of the next day.

When they got close to the place, Bai Feng sent a message, "We found it. Come here quickly. There are experts here. Ying Er can't hold on."

Xiao Zhixing told Xiao Dong, "I'll go ahead, you guys march as fast as you can."

The bloody night neighed loudly, and the horse galloped away at full speed.

The back mountain of Baiwan Village.

Lin Erchun hid in a pile of rotten leaves, staring closely at the two people fighting each other.

Ying Er fought and retreated.

His internal organs were injured, so he had to keep his life and go back to report to his master.

He could barely deal with the earth-level gray-clothed man in front of him, but he knew that the man hiding in the dark and ready to strike was the real master.

"It's okay." The man in the dark urged.

The gray-clothed man in front of him suddenly changed his tactics, and sword energy overflowed.

Ying Er rolled over to dodge, took the sword and turned around to escape.

"Want to run?"

The man in the dark was like a ghost. He flashed twice and appeared in front of Ying Er, waving his palm lightly.

Ying Er felt as if a huge rock had fallen on his chest.

puff--

"court death!"

Bang!

Xiao Zhixing caught Ying Er who was falling and vomiting blood, and with one hand he pushed him forward to meet the opponent's big palm.

The violent force overturned the dead leaves of the surrounding trees, and scared Lin Erchun who was hiding underneath so much that he rolled and crawled to escape.

The two were instantly separated.

Xiao Zhixing let go of Ying Er and looked at him coldly, "Good skills."

He turned out to be a junior master of the Heavenly Rank. His fighting spirit immediately surged, "Let me have a good fight with you!"

The gray-clothed man wearing a strange black ordinary mask snorted, "You are so arrogant."

The two of them started fighting instantly.

The flying sand and rocks shook the earth.

When two heavenly-level masters fight, the area within a radius of fifty to a hundred meters is a restricted area.

This was also the first time that Xiao Zhixing revealed his heavenly strength and fought to his heart's content.

The man in gray suddenly pulled back in surprise, looking shocked, "You are only fifteen years old?!"

"Nonsense, I am not even of age yet."

"impossible!"

"That's because you don't have enough experience." Xiao Zhixing flew up again, full of fighting spirit.

Bang bang bang bang!

The two men fought from the air to the ground and then back to the air, and the external powerful energy of a heavenly-level master swept in all directions.

All the trees were cut down and the mountains shook.

Xiao Zhixing frowned. She was unable to defeat the opponent for a while.

The man in gray became more and more frightened as the fight went on, and he was already thinking of retreating.

Xiao Zhixing sneered, "Ruoshui!"

Swish, a snow-white light popped out from the waist and went straight to the face of the man in gray.

"mean!"

The man in gray was enraged and retreated quickly, but was also cut in the chest by the tip of the sword.

He didn't dare to fight any longer and turned around and fled quickly.

Xiao Zhixing put away his sword and landed on the ground, contacting Bai Feng, "Follow him closely."

Want to escape? Then be a guide. She wants to see who set up this game.

Xiao Dong just happened to be bringing his men to catch up.

Not long after, Ying Er and Lin Erchun led them over a mountain.

"Sir, this is it. There is a secret passage into this mountain. I estimate that the mountain has been opened."

Xiao Zhixing glanced at Lin Erchun. This guy seemed very familiar with this place? This was too easy to find.

Xiao Dong led his men in first, and Xiao Zhixing followed.

But after only two steps in, she stepped back, "No, there's gunpowder!"

Others may not be able to smell it, but she is very familiar with this smell, the smell of gunpowder.

"Everyone quit."

Xiao Dong was puzzled, "What's wrong, little prince?"

Xiao Zhixing shook his head. They didn't know what gunpowder was. "Come out first. It's dangerous."

She contacted Black Tiger who was following her quietly, and asked him to transform himself into a small animal and sneak in to check.

Black Tiger turned into a palm-sized mouse and ran inside. Not long after, he contacted her, "It is indeed gunpowder, but not much. There is only at the entrance. Come in, I have collected it all."

Only then did Xiao Zhixing let everyone in.

After walking through the long corridor and coming out half a minute later, you will find a huge valley and a bright open-air smelting site.

On the opposite side of the mountain wall, there were hundreds of cages carved out, filled with countless young and strong laborers who looked like savages.

Lin Erchun was the first to rush out, "Big Brother! Second Brother! Where are you?"

Xiao Zhixing was not surprised. This kid had made a contribution, so it was no wonder that he concealed this little thing.

Xiao Dong quickly took people to check the scene.

"My young prince, this mountain is full of various minerals, mainly gold and iron, as well as copper."

This is actually a rich mine containing gold, iron and copper.

Starting from the mountain at the entrance, the valley that has been dug out to the mountains on the other side are probably all mines.

Xiao Zhixing smiled.

This is great news, she is in need of these things, it is really a timely relief.

[Ah, the little prince is so happy about such a small mine? Oh, then I'll send you the mineral distribution map of Qianyuan Continent? - Hey, you didn't block my map? ]

[Of course, gold, silver, and iron were all precious metals in ancient times.]

[Haha, the previous picture you gave to Susu is useless. How dare she open a mine? ]

Bai Su nodded immediately, "That's right. It's useless for a little maid like me to get the mineral distribution map. It would be a dead end if I mine it myself or find someone to mine it. Besides, if I dare to offer the map, the young prince will definitely notice and suspect me given his intelligence!"

Xiao Zhixing was secretly delighted. This picture is useful to me. I’m collecting it. Is today going to be my fortune day?

[Oh my god, Susu, zoom in a little bit, left, left——]

Bai Su noticed this barrage and zoomed in curiously.

[Xiao Peiyou: It is indeed the Jinwu Stone Mine! ]

【! ! ! 】

[Golden Crow Stone? ! ! ]

[Ahhhh, it really is the Golden Crow Stone! ]

Bai Su:? Jinwu Stone, I remember it, what is it? After losing my memory, I forget the basic things.

[Golden Crow Stone is an energy stone. Our interstellar spaceships, mechas, robots, and other industries all need energy stones! ]

Xiao Zhixing also noticed it. She looked at the dark golden stones piled in the corner like garbage, her eyes flashing slightly.

She decided to come quietly and take it away at night.

The barrage was still full of excited discussion.

[Blue Star was banned from development more than a thousand years ago and became a tourist destination. This, this is our ancestral land, and there is actually Golden Crow Stone? ]

[So, if we go to the Blue Star ancestral land now, maybe we can still find the Golden Crow Stone here?! ]

[Star Empire official: We hereby declare that the Empire will organize personnel to verify the matter. Unrelated personnel are not allowed to explore privately. Once discovered, they will be imprisoned for life! ]

[I know, I know. Wow, we can actually enjoy the benefits given by our ancestors. ]

[Golden Crow Stones have become increasingly scarce over the years, so I hope to find more here.]

At this time, Lin Erzhen had already followed the soldiers to open the cage and found his relatives.

The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After crying, Lin Erzhen knelt down in front of her and kowtowed three times, "Lin Muzhen kowtows to thank the young prince for his great kindness!"
