"Lord Cang Yan!" A few of them reminded Lu Ming in a trembling voice just how intimidating the might of Cang Yan, who was from the same village as him, was in the eyes of these seniors of the Fire Continent.
"Alright, we understand! We'll leave now. "
"Wait!" Seeing a few people carrying Wang Fei and about to leave, Ling Qi stopped them and said:
"Go and find a doctor to help him pull out his gun. All of you, stay here and guard it!"
"Alright, I understand!"
From the looks of it, although Ling Qi was not called an adult, he held a much higher position than them. Lu Ming did not know whether it was because of Ling Qi himself, or because he had borrowed Cang Yan's fox like might to bring him here.
"Alright!" What are you looking at? " Realizing that nothing had happened, Lu Ming continued to stare at him as Ling Qi seemed to have thought of something.
"Shouldn't you explain to us why you didn't tell us about the tax collection at the cave?"
At this time, Lu Ming's clear consciousness caused him to recall that Ling Qi did not tell them about the tax collection at the cave entrance of the Red Stone Mine, which had led to the incident just now.
"This is no longer a big deal? Come with me, and I'll tell you why. "
Ling Qi anxiously pulled Lu Ming and the others as he was about to leave the cave. Limitless and Ol 'Six, who didn't know what was going on, just stood there motionlessly, waiting for him to give them a reasonable explanation.
"Forget it, you all come with me first. We'll talk while we're walking!"
"Alright, then let's leave this place first."
The steady Limitless also felt that the few of them should leave this place first and listen to how Ling Qi explained the situation to them.
He glanced at Lu Ming, and Lu Ming, who understood the meaning of Limitless, nodded. When he walked out of the cave, he also took a copy of the long spears thrown by the tax collectors and brought it away.
Ling Qi looked at Lu Ming's actions and his eyelids twitched subconsciously. In his heart, he thought to himself that the people that came from the Azure Skies were indeed not good people.
Lu Ming, who was the first to leave the Red Stone Mine, didn't know whether it was due to his psychological effects or the feedback from his body, but he already felt that the environment on the Fire Continent wasn't as unbearable as before.
"Speak, what happened to all of these!"
When he arrived at a place where there were few divine beings, Lu Ming turned around and asked Ling Qi who had already caught up.
"That's right! What exactly is going on with Ling Qi? Why didn't you tell us that there are people collecting taxes in the Red Stone Mine? "
Sixth Brother, who had recovered from his fatigue after leaving the mine, also questioned Ling Qi. If Ling Qi had been able to inform them of this unforeseen disaster in advance, it might not have happened.
"The tax collection for the mines is a rule that has been in place for a long time. It was decided by all the elders of the Flame Continent."
Being questioned by the aggressive trio, Ling Qi's expression became somewhat complicated as he replied:
"I didn't inform all of you today. Firstly, I wanted to test your strength. Secondly, I didn't expect you to come out so soon after entering."
"Sure enough, you're testing us. What's the benefit of doing this to you?"
Limitless, who had long been wary of Ling Qi and Cang Yan's actions, had long predicted Ling Qi's probing, but the tax collector indiscriminately attacked Old Sixth. If not for Lu Ming's sudden outburst today, who knew what would have happened.
"Ling Qi, isn't there something important you haven't told us? For example, what kind of place is this Red Stone Mine?"
After experiencing the slaughter desire to control his mind and deducing the series of strange things that had happened after the three had entered the red rock mine, Lu Ming was sure that this place was not as simple as what Ling Qi had told them before.
"Have you found out? However, to be able to discover that something is amiss so quickly, it seems that you are much stronger than what Lord Cang Yan had expected. "
Each time, Lu Ming would attack the core of the problem without any hesitation, which had already made Ling Qi accustomed to it. But the next thing that he was going to talk about, was something that he had to carefully consider before telling to the rest of them.
"Let's put it this way. From the moment you've gone through the transformation process of the Fire Laws, your bodies have inevitably become inextricably linked to this Forsaken God World."
"Rumor has it that an ancient great god that controls a god's desire for slaughter and brutality is sealed in the depths of the Fire Continent, and his divine power has already completely assimilated with the laws of the Fire Continent."
"All the Gods who enter the Red Stone Mine will be affected by the laws of the continent because of the degree of transformation they have received. The higher the strength and the deeper the assimilation of the laws, the greater the probability that they will be manipulated by the desire to kill!"
"So you're saying that my previous state of mind was influenced by him? But, didn't we just enter the red rock mine on the first day?"
Thinking about what happened to him before, Lu Ming more or less understood the meaning of Ling Qi's words.
"Yes, you were previously in that state. In the long history of the Fire Continent, there will be a few God's Realm people who went into the uncontrollable state before you due to the severe effects of the Ancient Code and their desire to kill."
"However, those who have lost control to the point of being completely unable to control themselves are the Gods who are stronger and have entered the Red Stone Mine for longer periods of time!"
"It's not that there aren't people like you who lose control after entering the red quarry mine for less than a day, but it's also very rare!"
"So?" Lu Ming interrupted Ling Qi's surprise at the situation where he had lost control of himself.
"You are still an Inferior Grade God, but you were able to easily defeat the mid-tier God like Wang Fei under the control of the desire to kill. It seems that your acceptance of the Law of Raging Flames is already quite high!"
"This is not a good phenomenon, but it will allow your strength to increase rapidly!"
Lu Ming, who had speculated beforehand, finally understood why not only was he able to face the harsh environment more easily after the first few days of the black dream, he was also able to faintly increase his strength.
"In that case, wouldn't a powerful leader like Cang Yan be able to go on a rampage at any time after going deep into the Red Stone Mine? That way, he could start a massacre!"
The usually calm Limitless couldn't help but to ask curiously after hearing this much inside information.
"Indeed. Compared to the weak godly person going berserk due to the temptation of the law, a leader of a force like Lord Cang Yan, who has met with a problem, the serious consequences are something that can only be borne by the people in the red rock mine!"
