The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 284 - 156: Mine Enforcement_1

After a pleasant conversation, Chen Mai’s gaze naturally fell on Ye Hanjun.

"Little brother Ren, who is this?"

"Ah, this is a good bro I recently met, whom I wish I had met earlier."

"I heard you were short of manpower, so I specifically called him over. I think he would be able to pitch in."

Renwo Kuang’s voice was booming, it was as loud as if someone else was yelling at the top of their lungs.

Chen Mai’s eyes gradually lit up, he asked tentatively:

"May I ask where you come from? Which rank and role do you hold? And what is your Fond Spirit?"

"I am a commoner from the Blue Frog Kingdom, just call me White Crow."

Ye Hanjun saluted slightly, and tersely bowing as he said:

"I’m only the 1st rank, not as good as Ren."

"My role...an E-level ’Dark Servant.’"

"My Contracted Spirit is a bit special, I don’t know specifically which branch it is from, it could be a Demon, it could be a Savage, or it could be something else."

"However, don’t worry, the fighting strength of my spirit and me combined is acceptable, so I am confident to take part in this law enforcement task."

"Dark Servant?" Chen Mai was puzzled, "What is this role? I am hearing this for the first time."

Ye Hanjun gave a naive smile, "You can think of it as a Dark Attribute Magic Apprentice, the abilities are somewhat similar."

"Oh——"

Chen Mai drew out a long tone, a contemplative look in his eyes.

Apparently, what he needed more should be the 2nd rank and the Rainbow Light Fetus.

Only at such a rank are you qualified to deal with tricky issues.

1st rank...this is just the level of a foot soldier.

Even if one is at the top of the 1st ranking, they would at most be a corporal, providing no help at all in higher level battles.

"Since this is a recommendation from little brother Ren, of course you are welcome."

"However, the reward for the task can only be distributed according to the rules, I’m afraid it can’t be given at the same standard..."

"The capable are labouring, I understand."

Ye Hanjun nodded, seemingly unfazed.

Chen Mai heaved a sigh of relief, the smile on his face becoming more radiant:

"Then, please Ren and brother White Crow, follow me to go and complete the formalities."

"If possible, I’d like to start enforcing the law today. Otherwise, my brothers are really having a hard time."

"No problem."

Renwo Kuang strode confidently, following the Cave Frog to the hole it had just bounced out of.

Chen Mai led the way down, with Renwo Kuang and Ye Hanjun following, gripping the chain as they descended, unhurried.

The light around them immediately became warm.

Standing on the ground, the sunshine was bright and pure.

Upon entering the mine, there were torches hanging everywhere, a row to the left and a row to the right, illuminating the place brightly.

"Brothers, do you have experience in such an environment like this mine?"

"I’ve only hunted in shallow caverns and those labyrinth-like tunnels underground."

"As for a real mine, this is my first time."

Renwo Kuang answered, then glanced at Ye Hanjun:

"He should be similar to me, if there’s anything we need to be aware of, please inform us beforehand, brother Chen."

"Of course, of course."

Chen Mai sat astride the back of the Cave Frog. The frog did not hop to move but used its webbed feet to climb and move, at an extremely fast speed.

At the owner’s command, it slowed down, giving the three of them plenty of time to communicate.

"This mine mainly contains the element of Fire, so the temperature is a bit high."

"Ninety percent of the ores mined here are of Fire Attribute, with three or four dozen varieties, both high and low quality."

Chen Mai threw two scrolls over, one to Ye Hanjun and one to Renwo Kuang, and continued:

"Then, the main mining tunnels here are relatively large, capable of accommodating giant beasts."

"But such passages have already been mined out. Adventurers are generally scattered among the branching tunnels, blindly digging in hopes of finding something."

"As law enforcers, we need to patrol to prevent the miners from using strong explosives, dynamite, blasting symbols, recklessly destroying the main structure of the mine."

"Secondly, we must suppress bloody incidents. Whenever rare ores are found, it is particularly prone to violent conflicts."

"Just a few days ago, a pair of brothers came to mine, and because they had not agreed in advance on how to distribute the findings, one ended up dead and the other injured. This is really regrettable..."

Chen Mai sighed for a moment, then reminded again:

"Apart from these man-made disasters, you also have to be careful of the wild Fond Spirits in the mine and natural traps."

"Some people dug and dug, and dug into a Fire Ant nest. Just after a few screams, they were overwhelmed."

"Some places are poisonous and colorless and odorless. By the time you realize it, your liver is already seriously damaged. You come in standing up, but you go out horizontally."

"Right, and zombies. These Fond Spirits also live underground. In principle, they lurk in the darkest, coldest places."

"But there have been mutant zombies of the Fire Attribute here before, they spew flames from their mouth and have a Fire Wheel beneath their feet. They are extremely evil, you must stay vigilant..."

After the detailed introduction, Ye Hanjun seemed more interested.

This zombie, which spews fire from its mouth and has a Fire Wheel beneath its feet, might be a rare type of the Corpse Race, known as the ’Fire Child’.

If he could hunt such a zombie and successfully obtain its Corpse Crystal, the Muscle Zombie might have a treat.

This is a top-notch tonic, besides promoting physical development, it may even cause it to undergo slight mutations and possess some control over the Fire Element.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

They delved deeper into the mine, and soon a base with a breathtaking view came into sight.
