The next day, Pang Snake gathered all the people on the playground and replanted the more than 2,000 laborers he had brought with him into the original ranks. A series of personnel transfers were also carried out, first of all, a few people led by Lin Qiu were promoted to deputy stewards, and a group of outer disciples were appointed as deacons to be responsible for the specific mining work of each pit.

After the dissolution, he gathered all the deacons into the council hall.

Pang Snake sat on the main seat, looked at the people below, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am the new steward, and I will rely on your help in the future!"

Everyone applauded: "I am willing to help the huge people!"

"Before that, I want to pardon the crimes of the two, Xun Hu, Wang You, you two can come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two burly men with fierce faces walked in through the side door.

Everyone was stunned when they saw these two people, and someone immediately stepped forward and said: "Lord Steward, these two people were punished by the original steward because they committed something before, and now that their sentences have not yet expired, I am afraid it is not appropriate to release them, right?"

Pang Snake followed the sound, but saw that the person who spoke was an ordinary martial artist, so he asked, "What crime did they commit?"

"They were so vicious that they killed several laborers. ”

"Hahaha, I thought it was a big problem, it turned out that it was just a few laborers, we have as many laborers as there are here, but there is a lack of deacons, the cultivation of these two people is a high-level martial artist, and now is the time to employ people. ”

"My lord......" the man still wanted to admonish.

"Okay, don't say it, that's it. Pang Snake waved his hand and made a decision immediately.

He turned his head to Xun Hu and Wang You and asked, "Xun Hu and Wang You, are you two willing to make up for your mistakes!"

Both of them smiled meaningfully and replied, "Only the fate of the great man is obeyed!"

"Good!"

"Now let me talk about the personnel arrangement, we have 18 pits here, each of which needs to be managed by two deacons, exactly 36 people, and they need to be rotated every half a month, plus Xun Hu and Wang You, these 72 people are all together. ”

"Later, according to the old rules, you draw a lot, and the person with the single number will be responsible for taking care of the mine for half a month, and the person with the double number will stay at home to rest, do you have any objections?"

"No objection!" replied to everyone. 、

Zhan Chen's eyes flashed with joy, and he thought: In this way, I still have a lot of time to cultivate.

"Okay, let's come and draw lots, Lin Qiu will bring the box. ”

"Yes!"

Lin Qiu took out a box from the Qiankun bag, placed it in front of everyone, and said, "Draw one for each person." ”

Zhan Chen stepped forward, took out a note from it, unfolded it, and saw that the word "2" was written on it, and thought: "Is it a double number? This can rest for half a month." ”

At this time, I heard Pang Snake say: "Okay, now please draw the person with the single number to come out of the queue!"

Thirty-six people walked out of the team, Zhan Chen looked at it at a glance and found that Lin Lang and Pei Lin were in the list, and he, Wan Zheng, and Ouyang Qianqian were drawn with double numbers, and they could all get rest.

Pang Snake looked at the person who drew the order number and smiled slightly, and said, "You are the first batch of deacons on duty, and I will arrange your area of responsibility." ”

Next, he made some arrangements, but these were not Zhan Chen's concerns, at this time, his heart had already run to the cultivation room, so as soon as he disbanded, he returned to his room and concentrated on alchemy and cultivation.

However, the peaceful life did not last long, and after only three days, there was a knock on his door. Fortunately, Zhan Chen was not in the process of alchemy, otherwise he would have fallen short.

He hurriedly got up and opened the door to see, but it was Wan Zheng, who was panicking at this time, still panting, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Wan, what's wrong?"

"Oh no! Lin Lang has an accident!"

"Something happened?" Zhan Chen was also shocked, it had only been three days.

"Let's go in and talk!"

"Good. ”

Zhan Chen welcomed him into his room, and as soon as the two sat down, Zhan Chen asked, "What is the situation?"

Wan Zheng shook his head with a calm face and said, "I have inquired in detail, Lin Lang disappeared in the mine, but the strange thing is that no one has found any clues about him. ”

"There really is no clue? This is impossible! There are a thousand laborers who followed him into the cave!" Zhan Chen shouted.

"Yes, there must be something strange in this. ”

"Brother Wan, have you asked Pang Snake?"

"I asked, but it was useless, he just said that he was investigating, but he didn't act at all! Poor Senior Brother Lin Lang has probably already encountered an accident!"

At this time, a bad premonition arose in both of their hearts, but they didn't say it at that time.

Sure enough, five days later, the second victim appeared, Pei Lin, who also disappeared in the mine for some reason.

After learning the news, Zhan Chen, Wan Zheng and Ouyang Qianqian gathered together.

Ouyang Qianqian cried out in despair: "Senior Brother Zhan Chen, Senior Brother Wanzheng, what should I do? In another week, it will be our turn, and when the time comes, a few of us will not also disappear like Lin Lang and Pei Lin!"

Wan Zheng also panicked and said: "Yes, this is obviously premeditated, it is really a trap laid for us, staying here will only lead to death, we have to think of a way!"

Although Zhan Chen's heart was beating fast at this time, somehow, instead of fear, he was excited. Yes, I haven't felt this way for a long time, and the challenge of wandering between life and death is coming again.

"Otherwise, let's escape!" Wan Zheng suddenly suggested.

"Escape, no, I can't escape, I finally entered the Demon Luo Sect, I must persevere, no matter what the cost!" Ouyang Qianqian rejected his proposal, with a determined look in her eyes.

Zhan Chen also said on the side: "Senior Sister Ouyang is right, Brother Wan, if we choose to run away when we encounter danger, then we will never be able to become strong." ”

"You are all crazy! Can't you still see that Pang Snake is targeting us? I don't care about you, if you want to become a strong man, you must first be able to save your own life!"

Wan Zheng brushed aside this sentence and turned to leave, and from that day on, Zhan Chen really never saw him again.

And by the side of Pang Snake, the fat man, there is an extra scantily clad and bold and indulgent woman, she is naturally Ouyang Qianqian after the makeover.

Zhan Chen looked at Ouyang Qianqian, who had undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few days, and couldn't help but persuade in private: "Senior Sister Ouyang, why did you follow someone like Pang Snake." ”

Ouyang Qianqian glanced at him and said, "I have decided to turn to the Demon Skill and join the Demon Dao, Pang Snake is a strong martial king, follow him and be his woman, only then will there be a future." ”

"Senior Brother Zhan, you have to think clearly, whether you should also join the Demon Dao and show your loyalty to the huge people, at least this will save your life. ”

Zhan Chen listened to her words, but he was silent, but he secretly sneered in his heart: "Hmph! I will never join the Demon Dao, and even if I join the Demon Dao, I'm afraid that Pang Snake will not let me go." ”

So the two parted unhappily.

After fifteen days like this, Pang Snake finally gathered everyone in the council hall again, and when he saw the number of people, he asked: "There are only thirty-five people in the even number, what about Wan Zheng?"

Someone replied, "I haven't seen him for a few days." ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid he ran away! It's okay, I'll report to the sect and arrest him, and this kind of thing is not a thousand but eight hundred a year. ”

"Okay, the number of people is insufficient, you have to make up, there are also a few deacons sacrificed in the singular book, so let's do it, Xun Hu and Wang You, you are guilty of sin, don't rest, do you have any objections?"

"The villain has no objection!" Xun Hu and Wang You replied in unison.

"Okay, Xun Hu, you will join the team, and you will be in charge of the eighteenth pit together with Zhan Chen. ”

Xun Hu walked up to Zhan Chen's side and smiled strangely at him: "Quack, Zhan Chen, we will be colleagues in the future, please take care of us." ”

Zhan Chen was alert, but on the surface, he wanted to turn out to be kind, and arched his hand towards him and said: "This is what I want to say to Brother Xun, Brother Xun's cultivation can be above the bottom." ”

Pang Snake quickly assigned the area of everyone's responsibility, and Zhan Chen also followed Xun Hu on the road, but he faintly looked forward to it in his heart: "It seems that the threat appears on this Xun Hu, I don't know what kind of trap Pang Snake has set for me?"
