In the city lord's mansion in the ancient city of Zhenhuang, several people sat in the hall.

"I wonder how the Tang family elder is injured?" Luo Pingchuan asked.

"Third Elder, he can cultivate for a while. Tang Shengshu responded, and there was a big yellow cat sitting on his lap.

"It's a pity ......" Luo Pingchuan sighed, his eyes locked on the seat of the Song family, and the eyes of the rest of the people also turned with it.

"In the end, I will save my life. The leader of the Sun family wanted to comfort a few people, but when he said it, it was no different from sighing.

"City Lord Luo, the matter is not over, now is not the time to sigh, let's talk about the matter of Nanshan. Meng Changran said.

Luo Pingchuan took a long breath and said, "You should know that I have been to the demon world, and that girl has something to do with me. According to her, she is not the only one in Nanshan, and there may be other existences in the depths. ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold the deserted city. Meng Changran sighed.

"But the Great Wilderness should be coming to an end. All we can do is wait. Luo Pingchuan said.

......

The night covered everything, Shangguan Zhengtian was ready to explore this place with the help of the moonlight, but he didn't want to be stopped by Jiang Yan'er.

"I didn't expect you to be so anxious. Jiang Yan'er stuck to Shangguan Zhengtian's ears, and her breath was like an orchid.

"Why did you stop me?" Shangguan Zhengtian wondered.

"Do you know why I'm here?" Jiang Yan'er walked slowly around Shangguan Zhengtian, but did not answer his question.

Shangguan Zhengtian was silent, and Jiang Yan'er continued: "In the past half a month, this mine has recruited nearly 10,000 people, regardless of men, women, and children, but the number of people working in this mine has not increased, and during the day, do you think there are nearly 10,000 people here?"

Shangguan Zhengtian frowned and said in a low voice, "How do you know this?"

"Hehe, Brother Zhou, you still don't trust me. Let's just say that they are already in a hurry, and I think it won't be long before we will 'disappear' like the people before us, so why rush to find them, just be patient. ”

After Jiang Yan'er finished speaking, she turned around and left, she believed that Shangguan Zhengtian would not mess around, and if he really messed up, it would only prove that he was not a good collaborator.

Shangguan Zhengtian stood in place, thought for a long time, and finally turned around and walked towards the camp.

The sky was dark, and there was a sound of work on the mine, and Shangguan Zhengtian, who had not slept all night standing against the wall, was slightly touched in his heart: Is the exploitation of mortals by cultivators so greedy and endless?

No one cared about Shangguan Zhengtian's thoughts, most of the people who were woken up in the haystack turned over and continued to sleep, and a few people were so sleepy that they had forgotten that they were in the mine, and when they were slightly awake, they suddenly looked at Shangguan Zhengtian who was standing on the side and continued to sleep.

The sky brightens, and the sun jumps out below the horizon, bringing the people in their dreams back to reality.

"The brothers got up. Cao Renshuang was not the first to wake up, but he was the first to get up.

He glanced at Shangguan Zhengtian in the corner, because he had been in a daze, he was disgusted by everyone under his own guidance, and he was really like a stray dog in the alley at the moment.

Jiang Yan'er had already started to cook in pots, and when the men got up, the aroma of food gradually wafted in there.

"Come for something to eat?" Jiang Yan'er walked over with hot porridge, attracting many people's eyes along the way: Why didn't this young girl with a good figure refuse to look at me more?

Cao Renshuang saw everything in his eyes, and jealousy turned into desire (prevention) and the fire gradually ignited in his heart.

Shangguan Zhengtian shook his head slightly.

"Looks are meant to be done. Jiang Yan'er persuaded in a low voice, "Let's put it here first, remember to eat it if it's cold." ”

Shangguan Zhengtian glanced at the bowl of hot porridge placed next to him, and then looked up at the back, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Sure enough, not long after Jiang Yan'er left, someone surrounded her.

"Boss Shuang said, there is only so much food here, you can eat as much as you want, how can a person like you who doesn't work be embarrassed to eat?"

"People like you eat is a waste!"

"That's right, you deserve to starve to death. ”

The bowl of hot porridge was knocked over, and several people stepped forward and began to push. But how could those people be Shangguan Zhengtian's opponents, Shangguan Zhengtian stood there without resistance, let them do it, those people only felt that they seemed to be fighting with the mountains and rocks, and they were blushing and red, but they couldn't move Shangguan Zhengtian at all.

"You're lucky, grandpa, I'm going to work, I'll clean you up another day. ”

Several people threw away cruel words and left in embarrassment.

So on that day, the people agreed on a rule that those who did not work were not entitled to eat.

Shangguan Zhengtian was still in such a daze, and he didn't care much about everything.

"Do you think he's going to starve here?" the crowd began to discuss.

"You care about him, it's better to starve to death, out of sight and out of mind. Someone said maliciously.

At noon on the second day, Shangguan Zhengtian began to move, after all, he had not eaten for two days.

On the third day, the house was already in shape, and the swarthy man who made people fearful appeared.

There were more than a dozen carts parked behind him, and they were full.

"Here's a batch of ore, you sort it out according to the fineness on this map, and throw it away like this. The swarthy man picked out a messy, mottled stone and threw it to Cao Renshuang, who hurriedly picked it up.

"Good sorting, food. The man handed over another drawing to Cao Renshuang and left.

Shangguan Zhengtian looked at the ores not far away, and thought in his heart: even if they used the spirit stone mine to try, even after layers of screening, they still didn't feel at ease.

Cao Renshuang frowned while grabbing the drawings, trying to find stones consistent with the drawings from the ore as examples, but he always felt that something was wrong when he took a few pieces.

"Show me. ”

Jiang Yan'er, who came over at some point, grabbed the drawings and blocked Cao Renshuang's mouth with a sentence of "I am also the captain" when he was about to get angry.

"Tut-tut......" Jiang Yan'er thought in her heart while smashing her mouth: Get a bunch of spirit stone mines, the division rules are actually according to the color, completely regardless of whether the spiritual energy is abundant or not, although these are the residues after the spirit stone mining, but such a temptation is too shallow.

Jiang Yan'er suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and after a few turns, the corresponding stones were also picked and placed in front of Cao Renshuang.

Although Cao Renshuang said that he had a grudge in his heart, he would not be stupid at such a time, and hurriedly shouted to everyone to come over and receive the stone mine, and use this as an example to divide it.

When it was Shangguan Zhengtian's turn, Cao Renshuang sent it to his shoulder and grinned: "I'm sorry, I'll take care of the rest." ”

Shangguan Zhengtian was also happy, turned around and left, Cao Renshuang's evoked smile instantly froze, he retracted his gaze, and his smile slowly turned into a sneer: "What about strength? I've been hungry for ten days and half a month, see if you still pretend to be high!"

When she raised her eyes again, she happened to see Jiang Yan'er pulling Shangguan Zhengtian to her, Cao Renshuang almost had a seizure on the spot, her face was red and black, and finally she said hatefully: "Stinky woman, sooner or later you will kneel in front of me and beg for mercy!"

In the distance, a pair of eyes were looking here.

These eyes belonged to a young man, as deep as a secluded well.

"Their eyes are normal, there should be no problem. The young man said to another person on the side.

"Well, let them sort the spirit stones for a few more days, and if there is no problem, let them in. ”

"Yes. ”

Shangguan Zhengtian here was not in a hurry to pick up the stones, and Jiang Yan'er did not lean over to talk, both of them knew that this was a temptation, so naturally they would not reveal anything that did not match their identity.

The quarry came and went, and sent away batch after batch, until on the sixth day, the swarthy man reappeared, but at this moment he stood in a corner like a minion, standing straight.

Directly in front of everyone, there stood a group of guards in bronze armor, and the leader of the man had eyes like lightning, and his gaze swept over, making people feel pain on their faces.

"Take them with you. After a long silence, the leader finally spoke, but not to the crowd.

Behind him, more than a dozen bronze-armored guards armed with iron spears drove the crowd to one place.

"What are you going to do, what are you going to do to us?" roared someone in the crowd, a scene that reminded him of the village sheep herding, and made him very uneasy.

"Ahh

Everyone looked back behind them, and a person was forced in half by a spear!

The crowd became eerily quiet, and no one made the slightest sound.

Walking all the way, no one spoke, the atmosphere became heavier and heavier, and everyone's hearts sank to the bottom, and many women began to whimper, but they were afraid to make a sound, so they covered their mouths.

Shangguan Zhengtian slowly clasped his hands, he had killed countless evil cultivators, but he never thought that there were such pickled and filthy things hidden in the shadows of these righteous sects.

A pair of hands shook silently, and Shangguan Zhengtian waved his hand and dodged.

The owner of that hand was not angry, tilted his head and smiled slightly at Shangguan Zhengtian.

I don't know when Jiang Yan'er walked to Shangguan Zhengtian's side again.

Shangguan Zhengtian knew what she meant, nodded at her slightly, and then withdrew his gaze and walked silently with everyone.

Finally, a group of people stopped at the entrance of a cave, the entrance of the two people was pitch black, and they couldn't see the depth clearly, and in the eyes of everyone, they looked like fierce beasts with their mouths open, waiting for food to arrive.

"Get in!" the bronze-armored guard scolded.

The crowd swayed, and people scrambled to give up the first chance to get in.

While!

The leader slammed the iron gun to the ground and said angrily, "Go in!"

The man who happened to be facing the entrance of the cave turned pale, and walked in as if he had stepped into the execution ground.

There is a first, there is a second, and a group of people slowly steps into it like a mourning procession.

The cave twisted and turned, making people quickly lose their sense of direction, and when everyone was about to burn out, a ray of light appeared in front of them.

There was no joy, only a heart like ashes, but no one resisted, as if they had accepted their fate.

When everyone walked out of the cave, their eyes couldn't help but light up, the green trees in front of them, the flowers and plants were fragrant, and the saucers danced and the birds chirped, just like a fairyland on earth.

"Haha, scare Lao Tzu!" people breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a group of people walked from the depths of the forest, no more, no less, just the number of hands, young in appearance, all of them were armed with iron guns and dressed in black suits.

"There's another group of people, let's get some from each team. "The people who arrived looked at the crowd as if they were examining the goods.

The crowd that had been filled with joy was silent in an instant, and the iron spears carried by the ten young men were the same as those held by the people outside the cave.

If you can live, no one will choose to die, even if you can live for one more second, a group of people will be sorted into five batches by those ten people like dolls.

I don't know if Jiang Yan'er's luck is too good, or Shangguan Zhengtian's luck is too bad, the two just happened to be together.

Jiang Yan'er's eyes were full of smiles, but Shangguan Zhengtian had no time to pay attention, he was looking at the two teenagers who had selected his group.

One is slightly thinner, the other much more robust.

If Xiao Wu was here, I am afraid that he would not shout: "Brother Huzi!
