Chapter 397: 397                                    
           									The cave was not big .  It was only about ten feet in size . 
Apart from a few stone beds and a few large bags piled on the side, there was nothing else in the cave . 
The first thing that Liu Ming saw was a pale and skinny man with thick eyebrows and big eyes .  The sickly face made him look bleaker . 
It was the skinny young man he encountered when he first entered the underground mine . 
At this moment he was sitting cross-legged on a stone bed in the middle, and the huge iron rod about two feet long was leaning against a stone wall . 
This was the first time Liu Ming saw the rod leaving the hands of young people .  He couldn’t help but be slightly surprised, then he assessed the young man again . 
Only then did he find that the gray shirt on the young man was worn out at the moment, and there were still a lot of bloodstains on the surface .  Not sure whether it was the blood of the evil beasts or his own . 
But looking at his situation, he was obviously wounded, and it was still quite serious . 
Besides, he was actually injured with such strength .  It could be seen that he must have experienced fierce battles not long ago . 
Liu Ming almost subconsciously thought of the black giant wolf-like evil beast that was four times larger than the surrounding evil beasts in his mind . 
And beside him, there were also four men sitting cross-legged .  One of them was previously recruited by the skinny young man with an antidote at the exchange venue, but his physical body was as strong as the other three men .  When they saw Liu Ming coming in, they just glanced at him blankly and continued to meditate . 
The skinny young man also looked at Liu Ming and Bone Scorpion on his shoulder, then he said with a smile, “Mr .  Liu can arrive here safely in this Evil Disaster .  It seems that I have underestimated you as a newcomer . ”
“Not at all, I just found out early, and I ran fast enough .  I just have better luck .  I wonder if you can tell me your name now?” Liu Ming laughed as he didn’t agree or disagree . 
                 “I’m Xin Yuan, when I was sent here eight years ago, I was only temporarily promoted by several brothers as the leader .  However, I don’t have to explain more about the current situation at the moment . ” This skinny young man named “Xin Yuan” smiled lightly as he said after hearing that, but this smile seemed to trigger his injury, making him cough a few times .  His face looked instantly pale . 
“It turned out to be Xin Yuan .  This place is completely surrounded by evil beasts .  Plus the batch of evil beasts that are chasing me, the number is shocking at the moment .  We can’t break out from this encirclement forcefully .  But I just saw that the evil beasts here seem to be led by a black giant wolf evil beast .  Does Brother Xin’s injury relate to this evil beast? “Liu Ming asked slowly after he hesitated for a moment . 
“Yes, I was backstabbed by this beast attack .  This evil beast has the strength of the Condensation Period later stage, and it can also change its body size .  It mixed in the common evil beasts before, and it caught me off guard .  Fortunately, the other brothers rescued me in time, and we rushed into this dead-end by chance .  We are still able to defend for a while .  However, for Mr .  Liu to escape to this place, it seems that we are destined to meet .  “Xin Yuan smiled slightly as he said . 
“I don’t really want this kind of fate!” Liu Ming heard the words and couldn’t help laughing bitterly . 
“Hehe, unless you really want to break out from here, otherwise you can only stay here for a while .  Now the situation is urgent, and I don’t want to say anything nonsense .  Brother Liu and I are now on the same boat .  If you want to live, I’m afraid you have to contribute something . ”
“What does Brother Xin want me to do?” Liu Ming thought about it slightly, guessing something in his heart . 
“It’s very simple .  Brother Liu’s strength should be extraordinary for you to break into this place alone .  The Evil Disaster has just begun .  If it is in accordance with the usual practice, there are still more than two days .  During this period, I need you to take turns to defend the evil beasts at the cave entrance like my other brothers .  Take a shift every quarter of an hour! What do you think? “Xin Yuan looked a little serious . 
Hearing this, Liu Ming nodded and immediately agreed without thinking . 
The evil beasts outside would only be increased .  There were also Condensation Period later stage evil beasts among them, and every other tunnel had already been blocked . 
He had no choice but to stick to the young man to survive this Evil Disaster . 
Although this young man called “Xin Yuan” seemed to have lost most of his combat power, his companions seemed to have extraordinary body strength .  As long as they could ensure that the entrance didn’t get breached and they took turns to recover, they should be able to hold for a long time . 
“Very well, Brother Liu is really a smart person which saves a lot of effort for me .  However, you should exhaust some of your stamina for you to rush here all the way .  You don’t have to spend a lot of time talking about it .  But if you come all the way, you must have exhausted a lot of physical strength .  You can now take some rest .  When all of them took their shift, then it is only your turn . ” Xin Yuan saw Liu Ming promised in such a forthright manner, and his face flashed a hint of joy .  He said loudly at the same time . 
                 “Since that’s the case, I will take my rest then!” Liu Ming saw the situation, and he didn’t deny it .  He recalled Bone Scorpion into his waist leather bag and let it rest for a while, then he looked for an empty space in the stone cave and sat cross-legged . 
“Zheng Yong, Hua Dan, you two go and take the turn…” Xin Yuan commanded two men sitting cross-legged not far from him .  One of whom was the cultivator of the Condensation Period early stage . 
The two responded and stood up .  They took out the bone weapon on their waists and walked toward the cave entrance . 
A moment later, the two burly men who had previously stood at the entrance of the cave walked into the stone cave one after another .  The bone hammers in their hands were stained with blood, and their bodies were covered in wounds .  Their clothes were torn apart .  Countless tiny blood marks could be seen vaguely . 
The one walking behind had one arm being penetrated by something .  There was a thumb size wound bleeding out a dark red blood, emitting a disgusting smell .
