Chapter 586: Why Didn't You Say So Earlier?

High-end mining areas often only need the most simple mining methods.

After a busy day, Master Ye swallowed all the Immortal Source Ores dug by the soul bodies clean and let the soul bodies restore the places they had dug to their original state.

Then he put away the Human Emperor Flag, pretended to have gained nothing, carried the pickaxe, and walked out of the mining cave with a look of exhaustion.

Seeing someone looking at him when he walked out of the cave entrance, Ye Lin sighed immediately.

"Alas... why can't anything be dug out of this mining cave......"

The other ascenders sneered at the sight.

"Hmph, deserved, let him go kiss Qiu Weizhi's stinky feet."

"Forget it, show some basic respect for the dead; he is going to die tonight."

"That's right, Ding Haoyan has already released word that he is going to kill him tonight to warn the others!"

"Such a person, die early, it can be considered one less scourge!"

The ascenders mocked Ye Lin without any mercy; in their view, this kid was completely asking for it.

Ye Lin followed the crowd to the place where they ate.

The place to eat also required consuming Immortal Source Stones, recorded by the month; the standard meal of 90 meals a month consumed two low-grade Immortal Source Stones, and as for extra meals, that would have to be calculated separately.

Ye Lin didn't have a single Immortal Source Stone on him right now, and besides, he couldn't starve to death, so he just took a look and planned to leave.

Just at this moment, a tray was handed to Ye Lin.

The food on the tray was very simple: two fists of brown rice, one chicken leg, some cabbage, and a few pieces of winter melon. Digging mines for a day and eating this stuff—you wouldn't even have the strength to hang yourself.

"Eat something; you need strength to be beaten tonight. Ding Haoyan won't let you off."

Kuai Yan sighed helplessly.

"I have stayed here for so long, so I can be considered an old man. They will give me some face more or less and leave you a life, but a severe beating is definitely unavoidable."

"You help me, aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?" Ye Lin asked curiously.

"I'm afraid, but what else can be done since things are already like this?"

Kuai Yan shrugged.

"You better worry about yourself; think about how you are going to survive that severe beating tonight."

"Is that Ding Haoyan very powerful?" Ye Lin asked.

"Yes."

Kuai Yan nodded.

"Ding Haoyan can be considered the undisputed boss of the ascenders in the 81st mining area."

"He possesses the Mountain-Suppressing Divine Peak Body, a special constitution, and his physical strength is extremely terrifying. Every move he makes can have the power of ten thousand jun, and not only is his monthly salary for digging mines a staggering 30 low-grade Immortal Source Stones, but his combat power is also incomparably fierce."

"Over time, a not-so-small force gathered around Ding Haoyan, and no one dared to provoke him in the 81st mining area."

Kuai Yan stuffed a chicken leg into Ye Lin's mouth.

"In short, listen to me; you still owe me a low-grade Immortal Source Stone that you haven't paid back, so I won't harm you."

"When Ding Haoyan comes to find you tonight, just be honest and don't talk back. Let them beat you up to vent their anger, and this matter will pass."

"And don't ever say those things from the daytime again in the future; otherwise, no one will be able to save you next time!"

Ye Lin was somewhat surprised; he didn't expect Kuai Yan to actually help him.

"Don't worry, Brother Kuai Yan, I will definitely listen to you!"

Soon, Ye Lin, having eaten and drunk his fill, returned to the miner's dormitory.

Calling it a dormitory, it was actually a broken mud house with two hard beds inside.

Ye Lin hadn't been back in the dormitory for long when Ding Haoyan came with people!

With a bang, their door panel flew away directly.

"The one inside named Ye Lin, roll out yourself!" A rough voice sounded, like rolling thunder.

Ye Lin had just stood up when Kuai Yan hurriedly pressed him down.

"You wait here for me first; I will tell you to go out when you can go out!"

Kuai Yan walked out, bowing his waist, a fawning smile on his face.

"Brother Haoyan, it's me, Kuai Yan! Do you remember me? I gave you a gift a hundred kun years ago."

"A little impression? Why did you come out? I'm looking for that Ye Lin; get out of the way!"

The sound of Ding Haoyan and Kuai Yan talking came from outside the door.

"Brother Haoyan, that Ye Lin is someone I just picked up a few days ago, a pure newcomer who doesn't understand any rules. I have already taught him a lesson, and he already knows he was wrong. Can you please be the bigger person and spare his life?" Kuai Yan said.

"Oh~ I understand, you are here to plead for him, right?" Ding Haoyan sneered.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I just want to ask Brother Haoyan, please rest assured, I know the rules. I will make him take out half of his salary for the next three months to honor you." Kuai Yan continued to say nice things.

"Is that so? Then should I thank you?" Ding Haoyan's tone was somewhat playful.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare......"

Before Kuai Yan could finish speaking, Ding Haoyan suddenly exploded and kicked him fiercely in the chest.

"Damn it, who do you think you are? Are you qualified to teach me how to do things?"

Kuai Yan didn't expect the other party to strike suddenly at all; he was kicked flying directly, crashing the wall down, and fell in front of Ye Lin.

"WAH!"

Kuai Yan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression very ugly.

A man with a tall and majestic figure and a fierce face stepped over the collapsed wall and appeared in front of Ye Lin.

Behind him followed five or six ascenders, all looking at Ye Lin and Kuai Yan with playful expressions.

"You are Ye Lin?"

Ding Haoyan looked down at Ye Lin, dangerous light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"You are the one who suggested that high wages are not conducive to ascenders' struggle and also said that we should pay to dig mines?"

"It wasn't me, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Ye Lin denied it three times in a row.

Ding Haoyan was stunned, then sneered.

"Only now do you know you said the wrong thing? It's too late! Originally, if you begged for mercy, it wasn't like I had to kill you, but it's not a coincidence... I'm in a bad mood today! So, I have to take your life to vent my anger!"

Ye Lin's expression changed, and he hurriedly warned.

"I warn you, if you dare to mess around, the Team Leader will definitely not let you off if he finds out!"

"Team Leader? HAHAHAHA!"

Ding Haoyan and the people behind him burst into wild laughter instantly.

"Kid, is your brain broken? Do you really think Ding Haoyan will make a big move for a bottom-level ascender like you?"

"People like you, a handful are caught every year; who would care about your life or death?"

Hearing Ding Haoyan's words, Ye Lin suddenly realized, and a kind and harmonious smile appeared on his face.

"Oh~ so no one cares if an ascender kills an ascender; why didn't you say so earlier?" ===== CHAPTER 587 =====
